letter from the chairman
dear securityholders,
On this first anniversary of Ingenia Communities’ management internalisation, I am pleased to be able to provide you with an update on the Group’s 2013 financial year performance and the strategies we have in place to improve securityholder returns and grow long term profitability.
Financial year 2013 was a year of transition as Ingenia concluded its exit from the US market, stabilised its balance sheet and after two years of research announced its first acquisition in the Manufactured Home Estates (MHE) market.
In these past 12 months, despite a challenging environment with soft consumer and business confidence, the Group delivered a 95% increase on prior year in its profits from continuing operations of $2.8 million while net cashflow from operations increased to $11.2 million from $5.1 million in the prior year.
The improved operational results of the core Australian business, coupled with renewed investor support has seen the Ingenia security price perform strongly. With a total one-year investor return of 74%, Ingenia was recognised as the leader in the BDO A-REIT Survey in 2012. At the date of this Review it is pleasing that the security price is up a further 43% in 2013.
In early September the Group was included in the ASX 300 index which is a significant milestone and will further increase the appeal of Ingenia with the investment community.
I am pleased to say we ended the year on a strengthened financial platform having advanced much of the group’s three prong strategy to drive existing operations, acquire and integrate accretive growth opportunities and commence the build out of our significant development pipeline.
Over the past six months the Group has undertaken two capital raisings to accelerate growth in the MHE market. In June 2013, Ingenia undertook a significantly oversubscribed institutional placement of $21.2 million to acquire five immediately accretive MHE villages with significant development and repositioning upside. In September 2013 this was followed by the announcement of a $61.7 million Rights Issue to acquire eight additional immediately accretive MHEs. The Rights Issue provides our longstanding retail investors the opportunity to participate in the Group’s growth on the same terms as our institutional investors.
Both capital raisings advance the Group’s strategy to capitalise on its first mover advantage into the MHE market. Securityholders can rest assure that Management will continue to prudently assess its capital needs to ensure the Group has the financial strength to build a scalable platform by pursuing compelling growth opportunities whilst maintaining stringent threshold return requirements.

In reviewing the year’s performance, it is pleasing to note that we have made good progress on the key initiatives as set out in the prior year:
-
[Closing the Net asset value (NAV) gap – ] the Ingenia security price rose significantly in this past 12 months as management worked to bridge the discount to NAV and underpin securityholder value. In June 2012, the discount to NAV was 27%. We are pleased to report that at the time this Review is being prepared in September, the security price is 44 cents and trading at a 28% premium to NAV.
-
[Strengthening the balance sheet – ] following the sale of the US Seniors portfolio, repayment of debt, and renegotiations of the debt facilities, Ingenia now has a solid balance sheet which will underpin its future growth. The Group’s Australian loan to value ratio (LVR) decreased from 48% and is now within internal targets of between 30-35%.
-
[During the year, the Group successfully ] refinanced its Australian and New Zealand debt facilities with increased limits and greater flexibility to fund acquisitions and development activity, and better terms secured which substantially reduced Ingenia’s overall cost of funds.
-
[Disciplined approach to capital ] management – striking the balance of capital return to securityholders and reinvestment for growth continued to be one of the key focuses of Ingenia Board and management. Directors were pleased to maintain distributions and declared a final payment of 0.5 cents per stapled security for FY13. The Group is committed to growing distributions in the near term while maximising value to securityholders through prudent reinvestment into the business.
-
[Diversification of earnings with a growing ] platform – The recycled capital from the sale of the US Seniors portfolio has been used to fund Ingenia’s entry into the cash yielding manufactured home estates, a market with considerable scope for highly accretive opportunities that management had carefully researched for over two years.
To date, the Group has acquired a market leading position in NSW and with further States likely to follow.
- [Operationally, the existing portfolios ] performed to expectations, with the Garden Villages rental occupancy growing from strength to strength, and strong sales achieved in the second half of the year in the Settlers DMF villages. The Group is also committed to building out its significant development pipeline with an end value of over $153 million.
Looking ahead, Ingenia has a good foundation for growth, a strong credible management team led by CEO Simon Owen and a quality scalable business. The Group strategy remains driving performance and organic growth within existing assets and seeking accretive acquisitions in profitable and familiar markets. We are confident that Ingenia is on track to deliver long term stable returns for securityholders. To better align directors’ interest with securityholders, I can report that all directors have personally invested in the Group in the past year. Like you, we believe in Ingenia’s future and want to see it excel as a leading accommodation provider in the retirement sector.
In February this year, we welcomed a new board member Robert Morrison, whose property investment and capital management expertise is a great addition to the well rounded skill-set of the Ingenia Board.
I would like to thank my fellow directors and management for their dedication this past year. As your Chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all securityholders for your continued support and I look forward to meeting with you at our upcoming Annual General Meeting which is scheduled to be held at The Grace Hotel Sydney on 19 November 2013.

our investment strategy
~~“~~
Our diversified portfolio is operated across three complementary market segments:
ingenia’s established australian operational platform facilitates the leveraging of core capabilities across three complementary business models
rental
-
[Provision of affordable, quality rental ] accommodation to pension supported seniors over the age of 65
-
[A resident rents a modest 1-2 bedroom ] unit and pays a weekly rental fee to the operator, Ingenia. A meals package at an additional weekly cost can also be purchased. Average resident tenure is approximately three years.
deFerred ManaGeMent Fee (dMF)
Ingenia Communities is a leading Australian Seniors living property group that owns, operates and develops a growing portfolio of affordable seniors communities across key regional and urban markets.
-
[Provision of quality accommodation in ] residential communities to self–funded seniors over the age of 70
-
[A resident acquires a lifetime leasehold ] interest from Ingenia with the average period of occupancy being approximately 11 years. At the time of departure, the home will be resold and the departing resident will receive back their initial leasehold investment less a deferred management fee (DMF) which is typically 30%. Any capital gains will typically be split between the resident and Ingenia depending on contractual terms.
We are committed to providing quality affordable accommodation and services to suit the different lifestyles and pursuits of older Australians. For our investors, we are focused on operating, developing and acquiring a profitable seniors living business with significant opportunities for growth in earnings and distributions.

Building an Mhe foothold
after two years of research, ingenia entered the mhe market, a cash yielding affordable accommodation segment within the australian seniors living sector.
This segment diversifies the Group’s earnings base and reduces its reliance on the DMF model. A proprietary database that the Group developed including every MHE and caravan park across the East Coast and WA is being used to drive our future acquisition strategy in this sector.
Manufactured Home Estates (MHEs) are lifestyle communities whereby over 55s residents purchase a home where they own the above-ground component and sign a lease to pay rent on the freehold land which remains the property of Ingenia.

A select number of Ingenia’s MHEs contain a modest element of tourism and short term accommodation, marketed to grey nomads, drive-in-drive-out trades, families and school groups. This high cash yielding component of the business is complementary to our affordable seniors living MHE strategy. The Group will only maintain tourism and short term accommodation where it is the highest and best use of land within an existing community.
Ingenia’s primary focus remains on affordable, cash yield driven seniors living accommodation.

ceo update
~~“~~
in our first year after management internalisation, we have improved earnings and cashflow, established a leading position in a new market segment and seen the security price grow over 100%
year in review
Looking back at Ingenia’s first year as a standalone business, I am pleased to report that the Group has advanced and executed on several strategies to create and deliver long term sustainable value for securityholders. Certainly there remains considerable work to be done as we look to integrate recent acquisitions, continue to grow our core Garden Villages occupancy and sell down vacant Deferred Management Fee (DMF) conversion units, however a scalable platform has clearly been established over the past year to progress Ingenia as a leading Australian seniors living business.
provide a high quality recurrent stream of cash earnings which underpin our balance sheet and cashflows. Our DMF conversion villages which provide quality refurbished units for less than $250,000 have also attracted significant demand, particularly in the second half of the year as residential property markets in which we operate showed solid signs of improvement.
The Group exited the US Seniors market and consolidated its business back to Australia after an orderly sale process extending over more than two years. With a considered and well researched growth plan in place, we reinvested the capital into the significant development pipeline embedded within existing assets, acquired five accretive cash yielding rental villages to boost our presence within familiar markets, and entered a new market in Manufactured Home Estates (MHEs).
In the challenging economic climate of the past few years, it is pleasing that our deliberate focus on the more affordable end of the seniors living market has positioned the Group to prosper and grow. Our market leading portfolio of 29 rental villages have continued to attract more residents and
15
Recent months has also seen the Group accelerate its consolidation in the MHE market in NSW with seven acquisitions announced to date and a significant pipeline presently under assessment. The $61.7 million Rights Issue announced in early September will enable Ingenia to establish a dominant market position in NSW prior to expanding in other markets such as Queensland and Western Australia. We are attracted to the MHE market due to its strong recurrent cash earnings, low risk and capital light development returns, low level of industry consolidation, significant barriers to entry, and above all its affordability focus. The affordable end of the seniors living market is the largest and fastest growing, and also the least competitive so it provides an excellent basis to build a growing and sustainable business.
Financial perForMance
The financial year 2013 results are reflective of the Group’s progress with its business strategies and the significant growth it has achieved in expanding its Australian platform and underlying operating results.
Ingenia reported a statutory profit from continuing operations of $2.8 million, a 95% improvement on prior year due to continuing growth in rental occupancy and strong second half settlements from its DMF conversion villages. Net cashflow from operations increased to $11.2 million from $5.1 million on prior year as a result of the Group’s increasing cash yielding portfolios.
The Group reported a net loss of $10.3 million, principally attributable to a previously reported $17.5 million non-cash US foreign currency translation reserve reclassification, and partially offset by gains from the US Seniors divestment.
Net asset value (NAV) per security has only marginally increased by 0.3% to 34.4 cents due to the dilution from the June institutional placement.
Moving forward, as we integrate recent acquisitions, accelerate the build through of our development pipeline, and amortise our cost base across a larger operational platform, Management anticipates significantly improved earnings growth.
capital ManaGeMent
Active capital management continues to be a key priority for Board and management. Over the past year the Group implemented a blended strategy of capital recycling from divested assets, reinvestment into development and accretive acquisitions, conducted a successful institutional placement to fund rapid growth in MHEs, refinanced and restructured its Australian and New Zealand debt facilities and paid full year distributions to securityholders. On 11 September 2013, the Group also announced a $61.7 million non-renounceable Rights Issue to accelerate its first mover advantage in the accretive and tightly held MHE market.
16
ceo update continued
==> picture [398 x 165] intentionally omitted <==
debt refinancing
As announced during the year, the Group successfully refinanced both its Australian and NZ debt facilities, with long dated funding secured to 2015 and 2018 respectively. As we streamlined our business with the exit from the US market, improved our operating returns and with a strengthening cashflow position, management was able to renegotiate more competitively for lower margins and greater flexibility in our capital allocation to acquisitions and development.
As at 30 June 2013, the Group’s Australian loan to value ratio (LVR) was 38% but would have been 27% had placement proceeds been applied to debt. The Group intends to maintain an LVR of between 30-35% however this may increase slightly over time as the level of recurrent cash rental income increases with recent and planned MHE acquisitions.
In conjunction with the Rights Issue, the Group is well advanced in its discussions with its Australian lender to significantly increase its debt facility limit. This will enable the Group to leverage new acquisitions and provide additional funding capacity for development opportunities within existing villages.
Balancing capital return and reinvestment in growth
The Board and management recognise the importance of maximising capital return to securityholders where it is financially prudent to do so. In this past financial year, Ingenia maintained its distribution payment of 1.0 cent per stapled security for the year which represented a 77% payout from its operating income. The Board reaffirms its commitment to growing distributions in the near term whilst carefully balancing the capital requirements of our growth in acquisitions and development.
Over the past year, we announced a series of accretive acquisitions that met the stringent threshold return requirements of a minimum 15% forecast unlevered internal rate of return and an average yield of 10%. This disciplined approach will continue to underpin our capital allocation strategy moving forward.

occupancy growth and recent acquisitions drive earnings growth
the garden villages portfolio consists of 29 affordability based rental communities with over 1,500 units across all States except Sa.
A new initiative for growth in this portfolio is Ingenia’s move into the home care market with “Ingenia Care Assist”. In financial year 2013, out of 291 resident departures, the single biggest reason (38%) was due to residents needing to move to nursing homes. By partnering with external approved care providers, Ingenia aims to facilitate the delivery of care into our villages, enabling our residents to readily access these government funded care packages. Increasing Garden Villages’ value proposition and extending resident tenure will drive significant increases in both occupancy and sustainable earnings for this portfolio. A dedicated industry experienced aged care executive has been recruited to implement the Ingenia care strategy, with the aim of an eventual roll out to the Active Lifestyle Estates portfolio as well.
Ingenia owns and operates the largest seniors rental portfolio in the country. During the year, it added five bolt-on acquisitions, purchasing well located but typically poorly run or undercapitalised villages with significant upside potential.
The portfolio occupancy as at 30 June 2013 closed at a strong 85% and continues to trend upwards to long-term target of 90%.
Key initiatives included the annual resident engagement program ‘Activate 2013’, which in its 2nd year, has successfully increased resident satisfaction, drove record number of move-ins from resident referrals and generated much free press for the villages. As part of ‘Activate 2013’, many fun filled events were launched across our villages. These included free seniors yoga classes, gardening competitions - many of which encouraged our residents and staff to engage with their local communities, driving frequent foot traffic into our villages.

Focus on low risk expansion of existing communities
the Settlers lifestyle portfolio consists of nine deferred management fee (dmf) communities with over 950 homes across wa, Qld and nSw.
In 2010, the Group converted three of the communities in QLD from rental to the DMF model to capitalise on the localised market demand for home ownership. In 2012, an additional Ingenia rental village in Cessnock NSW was successfully converted to the DMF model.
Demand also improved across our traditional DMF villages in WA with refurbishments of resale homes proving to be a success in accelerating settlements and releasing accrued deferred management fees.
Active development was also evident in this portfolio as two of the villages underwent various stages of expansion during the year. In NSW, the high demand at Cessnock Village brought forward the next stage of development, while the 17-unit Stage 2 expansion at Ridge Estate Village in Maitland commenced in July 2013 with solid commitments in place for its new homes.
The performance of this portfolio in the past year was primarily driven by the strong pick up in conversion sales as residential markets improved in the second half of the year. An encouraging 32 settlements grossing $5.5 million were achieved compared to 21 in the first half. Targeted marketing events such as Village Open Days and Seminars for Seniors were regularly held to promote the villages.
The right product offering in key markets, coupled with targeted marketing activities, will continue to underpin earnings growth for this portfolio.

*No comparative as the results reflect the first three month of operations for the newly acquired assets
significant contributor to earnings growth going forward
in the financial year 2013, ingenia acquired its first two estates in morisset and ettalong Beach nSw.
As at 27 August 2013, the Group owns six manufactured estates located in Morisset, Ettalong Beach, Penrith, Albury and Mudgee NSW.
These estates consists of 230 permanent home sites, 30 tourist sites and development upside for a further 80 home sites. In its three months of operations, the two estates pleasingly performed to expectations.
Among the acquired assets, a modest element of short-term tourist and trade accommodation will continue to be managed as a complementary business where it is the highest and best use of land within the existing estates.
At the Grange Village, demand was strong for new sales and resales despite limited localised marketing efforts invested. Out of the three new manufactured homes brought on-site, two sold within weeks at their listed prices. At Ettalong, encouraging enquiry levels and resales made it possible for management to undertake a rental increase on incoming residents in its short period of operations.
Management will continue to seek accretive acquisition opportunities in markets with compelling demographics and investment metrics and ample development upside.
The Active Lifestyle Estates portfolio, a cash yielding third business within Ingenia’s Australian Seniors platform, is currently where management is focusing its acquisition efforts.

Ingenia’s exit from the US Seniors market was completed in February 2013 with the sale of the six remaining Bristal seniors communities located in Long Island, New York. The Group received net proceeds (after withholding tax) of A$46.3 million, of which A$40.7 million has been repatriated to Australia. A$5.6 million escrow remains in the US and is anticipated to be repatriated in early 2014.
The NZ Students portfolio is a valuable cash yielding investment consisting three student accommodation properties in Wellington New Zealand, each with a 15-year anchor lease to quality government backed tertiary education tenants.
In the past year, the long-term leases secured directly with Victoria University of Wellington and Wellington Institute of Technology enabled Ingenia to exit student accommodation operations and to reposition the assets as a passive and stable rental yielding portfolio.
This divestment was an important step in the Group’s strategy to reduce its subscale overseas exposures and recycle the capital towards accretive growth in Australia.
As part of the new lease terms, a significant refurbishment program was undertaken on all buildings. Building works are well advanced on the remaining building McKenzies with completion anticipated in December 2013.
A portfolio exit strategy will be reassessed in early 2014 on completion of these redevelopment works.

development opportunities
recent acquisitions will accelerate ingenia’s ability to deliver 300 new homes per annum over the medium term.
One of management’s key focuses is the build out of the accretive development pipeline embedded within Ingenia’s existing DMF and MHE communities. The development pipeline of 629 units with end sales value of $153 million will contribute strongly to future recurrent earnings. The Group targets the delivery of 300 homes per year in the medium term.
Stringent disciplines to align construction commencement with pre-commitment targets will maximise returns for the larger scale DMF development projects, while a low risk capital light investment in MHE development (where fewer manufactured homes can be spec ordered and delivered on-site as needed) will promote capital efficiency. Management targets a forecast unlevered internal rate of return in excess of 15% on all development projects.

investing in our people
~~“~~
committed, motivated and passionate staff are vital to ingenia’s service proposition to residents
as the group continues to grow, it is important to recruit and retain good people.
At Ingenia, we are committed to promoting an engaging and healthy work culture where team members have the opportunities to develop new skills and experiences to ultimately help them achieve their individual career goals.
As one of our profiled team members Maria Wheate noted, maintaining a happy village is what she most enjoys and at the same time, finds most challenging. Without our passionate team members looking after over 3,500 residents, the Group would not be enjoying the success we have today.
As an organization, we are very fortunate to have many quality people working at Ingenia. Recently one of our Village Managers, Lea Burton from Settlers Lakeside Village in Ravenswood received the top accolade, winning the Western Australian Manager of the Year award for 2013 at a retirement industry conference. This was a great achievement to be recognised amongst her industry peers and residents for her excellent contributions to the sector. We would like to congratulate Lea and we are very proud to have her as part of the Ingenia team!

Maria wheate
village manager, the grange, moriSSet
what is your role within ingenia?
I am the Village and Sales Manager at The Grange Village in Morisset NSW.
how long have you worked for the group?
I started with Ingenia as the Village Manager of Taree Gardens and I was there for over three years. I was fortunate to be promoted in March 2013 and moved here to Morisset to manage The Grange Village.
what attracted you to your role? and ingenia?
My husband Garry (who looks after the grounds and maintenance at the village) and I owned a retail business for over 15 years therefore customer service always suited both of us. Following that I worked in Aged Care and really enjoyed that role, and from there was offered the Village Manager position at Taree Gardens. I feel that the role of a Village Manager certainly utilises all my skill sets from my multi-faceted experience.
Ingenia is a company with management and staff that really care about their residents. It’s a happy environment to go to work in every day.
what interests you about retirement?
Retirement is not as simple as it was 20 or 30 years ago. With the ageing population living longer, there definitely needs to be more purpose built accommodation available for seniors. I like to be part of the solution and I find much joy in helping someone find a home and get as much as they can in their retirement years.
what’s the most rewarding part of your role?
Maintaining a happy village and when I see successful resident referrals turning into new move-ins, I know we’re doing our job right. Also, the sense of accomplishment I get when I oversee the refurbishment of neglected preloved homes, then seeing them in the hands of delighted new owners.
what’s the hardest part of your role?
Maintaining a happy village of 145 households certainly has its challenges! I am lucky to have the support of the Ingenia team and management who are there, always willing to lend a hand for instance at Village Open Days.
where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I hope to continue working for Ingenia for a long time as I believe in the quality lifestyle we are offering our residents and I love working with the Ingenia family.
tell us a fun fact about yourself that we’ll never guess?
I love fishing. When I first started fishing about 20 years ago, I was asked once what kind of bait I used, and very cleverly I replied, crumbed worms... I did not realise it was just sand on them!

Melanie Matthias
contractS adminiStrator
what is your role within ingenia?
I currently have a dual role as the Customer Service Officer and Contracts Administrator based in our Brisbane service centre. The role involves being the first point of contact for enquiries for the Garden Villages brand, distributing and managing leads for the business. The majority of my days are usually spent listening to the needs of seniors and explaining the benefits of renting in our retirement communities.
how long have you worked for the group?
I started in August 2009 with Ingenia as a Customer Service Officer.
what attracted you to your role? and ingenia?
I was previously from a residential real estate background, so this was primarily a lifestyle choice, to be doing a job which gives me more manageable hours between family and work. I also love the customer service field in talking to people.
==> picture [90 x 738] intentionally omitted <==
what interests you about retirement?
I feel that I can make more of a difference for others in the retirement accommodation sector than in residential sales. Here, it’s more than selling a home, it’s about helping seniors achieve a quality lifestyle.
what’s the most rewarding part of your role?
The most rewarding part of my job is being able to support our sales team and also present to our clients the offer of a quality lifestyle, no matter which type of Ingenia communities they choose.
what’s the hardest part of your role?
Dealing with calls from seniors has its challenges. Quite often my Service Centre colleagues will have a chuckle at some of my interesting senior conversations particularly with those who are hard of hearing.
where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I see myself continuing to work in the retirement sector with Ingenia as I really enjoy it, and I look forward to being able to make a positive mark in someone’s retirement years.
tell us a fun fact about yourself that we’ll never guess?
I grew up in the Whitsundays and like to spend my spare time by the ocean. I am most content with a fishing rod in hand and like to carry a spare yabby in my pocket.
==> picture [96 x 114] intentionally omitted <==
natalie kwok
tax manager
what is your role within ingenia?
I am the Tax Manager at Ingenia based in the Sydney Corporate office.
how long have you worked for the group? Since March 2012.
what interests you about retirement?
With the ageing population and increased longevity, aged care and seniors living has become a significant social issue and will be the central theme of government policy in the next decade. What interests me about retirement is understanding the complexities and the socio-economics of wealth management and accumulation.
what’s the most rewarding part of your role?
The variety and challenging nature of my role, as well as working in an exciting and fast pace environment as Ingenia is growing rapidly. I feel that I am part of a small team that is making a big difference.
what’s the hardest part of your role? Managing my workload as I work part-time.
where do you see yourself in 5 years?
what attracted you to your role? and ingenia?
I enjoy the challenging nature of my role and the flexibility of work arrangement as I have two young kids.
I am attracted to businesses that are in the growth phrase or have seized the opportunity to grow. It is rewarding to work in an exciting environment and working with dynamic individuals. This has been my experience since joining Ingenia. We are working in a team that is excited about future prospects.
I will be a mother to a 12-year old daughter and 10-year old son in 5 years, that in itself will be an interesting challenge! Career wise, I’d like to be in a role with substantial decision making responsibility, and hopefully as Ingenia grows, this opportunity can present itself.
tell us a fun fact about yourself that we’ll never guess?
I am currently leading the Ingenia footy tipping competition, something no one expects from a nerdy Tax Manager!
