2021 Growthpoint Annual General Meeting
Chairman’s address
Welcome to the combined annual general meeting of the shareholders of Growthpoint Properties Australia Limited and a meeting of the unitholders of Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust which are being held virtually this year. I am your Chairman, Geoff Tomlinson.
We have a quorum for these meetings and I am pleased to declare the meetings officially open.
On behalf of Growthpoint I would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
I would like to start by outlining some of the procedural matters of this meeting. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our commitment to prioritising the health and wellbeing of our Securityholders, employees and the broader community, once again, we are hosting this meeting virtually.
The Board and I enjoy having the opportunity to meet with Securityholders in person at our annual general meeting and hope to return to in-person meetings next year.
Today’s meeting is being held online via the Lumi platform. This allows Securityholders, proxies and guests to attend the meeting virtually. All attendees can watch a live webcast of the meeting. In addition, as outlined in the Notice of Meeting, Securityholders can ask questions of the Board during the meeting via the Lumi AGM online platform and vote in real time.
Online attendees can submit questions at any time. To ask a question, select the messaging tab at the top of the Lumi platform. At the top of that tab there is a section for you to type your question. Once you have finished typing please hit the arrow symbol to send.
The online platform is now open for questions. Please note that while you can submit questions from now on, I will not address them until the relevant time in the meeting.
Questions submitted on the online platform may be moderated to avoid repetition of similar questions or summarised in the interest of time.
For those Securityholders who wish to ask a verbal question, an audio questions facility is available during this meeting. To use this service, please pause the broadcast on the Lumi platform and then click on the link under “Asking audio questions”. A new page will open where you will be prompted to enter your name and the topic of your question before being connected. You will listen to the meeting on this page while waiting to ask your question. If you have any issues using this system, please return to the Lumi platform.
Voting today will be conducted by way of a poll on all items of business. In order to provide everyone with an opportunity to vote, and in case anyone cannot stay for the whole meeting, I will shortly open voting on all resolutions.
If you are eligible to vote at this meeting, a new polling icon will shortly appear for you on your screen. Selecting this tab will bring up a list of resolutions and present you with voting options. To cast your vote, simply select one of the options. There is no need to hit a submit or enter button as the vote is automatically recorded.
You do however have the ability to change your vote, up until the time I declare voting closed.
I now declare voting open on all items of business. I will give you a warning before I move to close voting, which will be after all questions from Securityholders have been addressed.
A webcast of the meeting and our presentation will be available on our website shortly after the meeting.
The Notice of Meeting was made available to all Securityholders and I propose to take it as read. I will now introduce our Directors.
In attendance virtually today are Directors Estienne de Klerk, Grant Jackson, Francois Marais, Deborah Page, Norbert Sasse and Josephine Sukkar and our Managing Director, Timothy Collyer.
==> picture [596 x 125] intentionally omitted <==
Also in attendance are Jacqueline Jovanovski, our Company Secretary and Chief Operating Officer, Dion Andrews, our Chief Financial Officer, and Michael Green, our Chief Investment Officer. David Shewring, a representative from our auditors, Ernst & Young also joins us.
At our 2020 annual meeting, we highlighted that a recruitment process to find a suitable replacement for Maxine Brenner, who resigned from the Board at the end of November last year, was underway. We noted that we were looking for an individual with a strong financial background, who had held either a senior position at a large accounting firm or an ASX-listed company, or both.
We are very pleased that Deborah Page has joined the Board and has already made a significant contribution, particularly as Chair of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee. Deborah is a very experienced Director, who met all of our search criteria, having been a partner at KPMG Peat Marwick, and held senior finance and operational roles at a number of leading Australian companies, including Lendlease and the Commonwealth Bank. In addition, Deborah has significant property expertise, including having held the position of Chair of Investa Office Fund.
With Deborah joining the Board, we have maintained our female representation on the Board at 25%. We remain focused on increasing the Board’s gender diversity and achieving our target of having a minimum of 30% of each gender represented on the Board by 30 June 2023. This will be considered as part of our overall Board succession planning.
Turning to the agenda for today. We will commence with my address, which will be followed by:
-
A presentation by Timothy Collyer, that will provide an overview of the business, including its recent performance and outlook.
-
We will then move to a consideration of the combined financial report for the Company and the Trust for FY21.
-
I will then explain the voting procedures and address each of the remaining items of business set out in the Notice of Meeting.
As noted earlier in the meeting, questions can be submitted at any time. If you have a question already prepared, please submit it now on the online platform.
We will answer questions on the Group’s recent performance at the end of the Managing Director’s presentation and questions related to specific items of business at the end of all formal items of business.
Since the Group’s inception, the management team has been focused on maximising the Group’s income. To do this, they have maintained high occupancy across the portfolio and a long weighted average lease expiry.
The average portfolio occupancy over the last 10 years was 97.6%. Only once during this period, has the portfolio occupancy dropped below 97% and this was last year, when the Group achieved practical completion of a new A- grade development in Richmond, Botanicca 3. This building was completed ahead of schedule, and just prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite the challenges presented by the pandemic, the management team was able to secure Bunnings, arguably one of the best corporate tenants in Australia, as the key tenant for this development. Since then, Bunnings have leased an additional floor and we have welcomed a number of other tenants, taking the building’s occupancy to 93%. This achievement is testament to the quality of this development, as well as the management team’s leasing expertise.
Growthpoint’s average WALE over the last 10 years was 6.3 years. Alongside high occupancy, this has helped protect the business from the short-term economic challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflecting the strength of our existing tenant base, we have continued to have high collections through the pandemic (around 99%) and have only granted a small amount of rent relief, which was to help predominantly small retail operators at our office buildings. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our financial results in FY21.
As a result of the leadership team’s successful management of the business, the Group has delivered higher returns than the S&P/ASX 200 REIT Accumulation Index, over the last one, three, five and 10-year time periods.
Over the last few years, Growthpoint’s Board’s focus has certainly broadened, and we now spend a significant amount of time reviewing the Group’s ESG practices on a regular basis. This has further accelerated over the last year,
reflecting the importance that we, and our stakeholders, place on this issue. In FY21, at more than half of our Board meetings, we considered a key ESG issue for the Group.
Growthpoint has made some great progress over the past 18 months. We significantly accelerated our net zero target to 2025, 25 years earlier than our previous target which we set in 2017 to align with the Paris Agreement. We will achieve net zero across our operationally controlled office assets and corporate activities through energy efficiency measures, continuing to roll out solar installations and investing in offsite renewable energy for our residual energy needs. We will also use high-quality carbon offsets for emissions we cannot avoid or reduce.
We also progressed our sustainability reporting, releasing our inaugural Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Statement, during the financial year. Within this report, we published the results of our high-level scenario analysis, which considers the likely impact of an increase in global temperature on our portfolio and stresstests our resilience to a rapid transition to a low-carbon economy. The analysis did not identify any material downside financial risk under either scenario.
Pleasingly, our efforts in this space continue to be rewarded in external benchmark surveys. Just over a month ago, GRESB announced the results of their 2021 Sustainability Benchmark. We were recognised as a Sector Leader, receiving a 4-star ranking, with a score of 80 out of 100, our highest achievement to date.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Growthpoint’s executive team and all employees for their contribution to Growthpoint. We are proud of how the Group has navigated the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and what we have achieved, which would not have been possible without your ongoing dedication.
I will now hand over to the Managing Director, Tim Collyer, who will provide a more detailed update on the business.
Managing Director’s address
Thank you, Geoff. And good afternoon everyone. While I am also disappointed that once again, we cannot be meeting face-to-face, I am hopeful that next year, we will be able to do so.
Today I will provide an overview of our business, a snapshot of the FY21 financial results, including our key operational highlights, and outlook for the year ahead.
I will start my presentation with providing a brief overview of the Group, as it stands today. Growthpoint is the tenth largest REIT in Australia and a member of the S&P/ASX 200 Index. We own and manage 56 properties, valued at approximately $4.6 billion.
Around a third of our assets are industrial. These assets are primarily used for logistics and warehousing. The other two thirds of our portfolio are offices, which are located on the fringe of CBDs or in metro locations. This subset of the office sector has continued to perform strongly throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
We have a strong tenant base and have highlighted some of our top tenants on this slide. Approximately, 23% of our tenants are government, 60% are listed organisations and 14% are large private companies. The remaining 3% are small or medium sized businesses – primarily cafes or small retailers at our office assets.
The Group’s overarching goal is to provide Securityholders with sustainably growing income returns and long-term capital appreciation. On this slide, we’ve provided an overview of our four key strategic pillars. The first three have been key priorities for the Group for a number of years. Firstly, we invest in high-quality, modern assets with good green credentials that are well located. Secondly, we maximise the value of our existing assets through leasing, refurbishment, expansion, development or divestment. Thirdly, we are focused on maintaining high occupancy, which, as Geoff mentioned, has averaged 97.6% over the last 10 years.
The fourth pillar, which is relatively new, is to enter into funds management. We believe that diversifying our business, and having exposure to funds management, will enable us to generate higher returns on capital employed for our Securityholders.
Reflecting the strength of our strategy, and defensive characteristics of our portfolio, the Group has continued to deliver a robust performance throughout this challenging period.
Our financial results in FY21 exceeded our expectations. Our funds from operations, the primary earnings measure for the Group, was 25.7 cents per security, which was at the upper end of our upgraded guidance and 0.4% above last year. Pleasingly, as Geoff mentioned, the COVID-19 pandemic had no direct impact on our financial results and the company did not receive any JobKeeper payments.
Despite delivering higher FFO than initially expected, the Board decided to maintain our FY21 distribution at the level we guided to the at outset of FY21, 20.0 cents per security. This represents a payout ratio of 78%, which is within our new target payout ratio of between 75% and 85% of FFO.
The value of the Group’s portfolio increased by 10.2% or $416.8 million, over the year, on a like-for-like basis. This was the largest 12-month like-for-like valuation uplift in the Group’s history.
Our gearing and distribution payout ratio are both at historic lows and we are in a strong position to pursue growth opportunities.
We’ve also made good progress on our strategic objectives in FY21. Our occupancy significantly increased over the year to 97% from 93% and we maintained our long weighted average lease expiry of 6.2 years. We signed 33 leases, representing 12.4% of the portfolio’s income. Pleasingly, our tenants continued to seek long leases, with the average lease term of all leases negotiated being 8.2 years.
Securing Bunnings as the key tenant for our new A-grade development in Richmond, Botanicca 3, was a great result, as Geoff mentioned. They have recently increased their tenancy, leasing the last remaining full floor at Botanicca 3, taking their occupancy to 82% of the building. We also signed a new 10.5-year lease with Australia Post in February at Adelaide Airport. In addition to agreeing new leases, we achieved strong tenant retention, with key tenants the South Australian Government, Monash University and Laminex, among others, all renewing their leases.
At Growthpoint, we regularly review our property portfolio to ensure our assets continue to fit within our strategy. During FY21, we successfully disposed of three assets. Firstly, we sold a vacant industrial property, as we decided
that starting a lengthy development project during the COVID-19 pandemic was outside the Group’s risk and return appetite. There were also costs associated with holding this non-income producing asset.
We also sold two assets located in Sydney Olympic Park, as the quality of these assets was below the remainder of the portfolio. We are seeing a ‘flight to quality’ in office markets around Australia, and keeping these assets which were principally tenanted by smaller businesses, presented a significant near-term leasing risk for the Group.
While we divested these office assets, we remain confident in the long-term outlook for Sydney Olympic Park and we were pleased that we were able to relatively quickly re-invest the sale proceeds into an A-grade, modern office asset, located nearby. The new property, situated at 11 Murray Rose Avenue, opposite the train station, is fully leased to high-quality tenants.
As we look ahead, we are confident that Growthpoint is in a strong position to continue delivering attractive returns to our Securityholders.
Reflecting our confidence in the Group’s position, we have provided FY22 FFO guidance of at least 26.3 cents per security, which represents at a minimum 2.3% growth on FY21. We have also provided distribution guidance of 20.6 cents per security, up 3% on FY21.
The Group’s gearing is at a record low and well below our target range of 35% to 45%. We are actively looking for opportunities to deploy undrawn debt to grow the business, including acquiring high-quality properties and entering funds management. If successful, this would be accretive to the Group’s current guidance.
I will now hand you back to Geoff.
