OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Ingenia Communities Holdings overview

The Group is an active owner, manager and developer of a diversified portfolio of lifestyle, seniors rental and holiday communities across Australia. The Group’s real estate assets at 31 December 2020 were valued at $1.1 billion, comprising 40 lifestyle and holiday communities (Ingenia Lifestyle and Holidays) and 26 rental communities (Ingenia Gardens). The Group manages a further 12 communities through its development JV and funds management platform. The Group is in the S&P/ASX 200 and had a market capitalisation of approximately $1.6 billion at 31 December 2020.

The Group’s vision is to create Australia’s best lifestyle and holiday communities, offering affordable permanent and tourism accommodation with a focus on the seniors demographic. The Board is committed to delivering sustainable long-term underlying earnings per security (EPS) growth to security holders while providing a safe, supportive community environment for residents and guests.

The Group has continued to progress key sustainability initiatives and expand reporting in this area. Through the continuation of existing projects and new initiatives the Group has committed to reduce emissions by 30% over the next five years and is targeting net zero emissions by 2035. The Group has entered into a finance facility with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) which supports these commitments.

Our Values

At Ingenia we build community on a foundation of integrity and respect, creating a place where people have a sense of connection and belonging. We strive for continuous improvement in our resident, guest and visitor service, to ensure that they receive an amazing experience every day. Whether it’s time to live, play, stay or renew, we deliver freedom of choice with a range of industry award winning lifestyle and holiday options.

Directors’ Report (continued) Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited For the six months ended 31 December 2020

==> picture [453 x 161] intentionally omitted <==

Strategy

The Group is positioning for scale and long-term sector leadership whilst delivering growth in net operating income and enhancing the operational performance of its investment properties.

Using a disciplined investment framework, the Group will: continue to grow its lifestyle and holiday communities business in metropolitan and coastal locations; build out its existing development pipeline; expand development and revenue streams through the Joint Venture with Sun Communities, Inc (NYSE: SUI) and funds management platform; and deploy equity raised in 2H20 to acquire existing communities and additional development sites.

The immediate business priorities of the Group are:

  • Capitalise on opportunities to expand the development pipeline to deliver new rental contracts;

  • Improve performance of existing assets to drive growth in rental returns;

  • Improve resident and guest satisfaction;

  • Enhance sustainable competitive advantage through recruitment, retention and development of industry leading talent;

  • Focus on sales and marketing effectiveness to successfully launch new projects and grow rental base;

  • • Continue rollout of new rental and tourism cabins;

  • Expand the funds management platform and deliver performance for investors;

  • Execute the development Joint Venture business plan, delivering opportunities for capital light growth and additional revenue streams;

  • Maintain focus on employee, resident and guest health and safety;

  • Continue to advance focus on sustainable home design and construction;

  • Build on the Group’s sustainability and carbon emissions reduction program and enhance disclosures as initiatives are progressed.

1H21 financial results

The six months to 31 December 2020 delivered total revenue of $122.0 million, up 4% on the prior corresponding period. The Group built and sold 136[1] turnkey homes (1H20: 140 homes) and grew Lifestyle and Holidays rental income by 18% to $45.7 million (1H20: $38.5 million).

Statutory profit of $32.5 million was up 38% on the prior corresponding period. The statutory result reflects the combination of growth in underlying earnings and fair value movements on investment property arising from: improved capitalisation rates, offset by transaction costs on new acquisitions and a reduction in fair value associated with the realisation of development profits on settlement of homes from the Groups communities under development.

Underlying profit from continuing operations was $32.8 million, up 24% on the prior corresponding period. The underlying result was underpinned by a strong second quarter performance from the Lifestyle & Holiday segment, record occupancy in Ingenia Gardens offset by the Lifestyle Development segment which was negatively impacted by COVID-19 with lower settlements having an adverse effect on the 1H21 financial results compared to the prior corresponding period. Included in the result is $5.1 million of JobKeeper subsidy which supported a loss of revenue and additional costs associated with COVID-19 (including the employment of staff). Due to the improved outlook for the business, the Group will repay $1.7 million of the JobKeeper subsidy, subsequent to period end.

1 Including eight settlements at Ingenia Lifestyle Freshwater, the Group’s first Joint Venture project with Sun Communities.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited For the six months ended 31 December 2020

Operating cash flow for the period was $59.7 million, up 110% from the prior corresponding period, positively impacted by a strong tourism performance in the second quarter, the acquisition of new communities and positive working capital movements, with lower inventory on hand and growth in tourism deposits held.

The Group grew its investment in lifestyle communities during the period, with a continued focus on progressing the Group’s development pipeline to enable further growth in its recurring rental base through the expansion and creation of high-quality communities.

The Group continued to divest non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy, with the divestment of Ingenia Holidays Albury and Ingenia Holidays Sun Country in 1H21.

The Group’s earnings per security during the half were adversely impacted by the 2H20 equity raise, where the proceeds raised were not fully deployed by 31 December 2020.

Key metrics

  • Income generating sites across the Group increased by 12% to 9,277 sites as at 31 December 2020 compared to the prior corresponding period.

  • Underlying profit of $32.8 million, up 24% on the prior corresponding period.

Strategic priorities

The Joint Venture’s objective is to acquire greenfield sites in key metro and coastal markets to develop a portfolio of new lifestyle communities. The Joint Venture leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia will also provide operational services to the lifestyle communities. At completion of development, Ingenia has the right to acquire the communities at market value. Ingenia generates acquisition origination, development, and management fees for these services plus a performance fee for above hurdle rate project returns.

Ingenia Gardens

Ingenia Gardens comprises 26 rental communities located across the eastern seaboard and Western Australia. Collectively, these communities have 1,377 sites for rent. While rental growth was limited due to no pension increase in the period, the portfolio performed ahead of prior year, with record high occupancy of 96.4% at 31 December 2020.

The carrying value of these assets at 31 December 2020 is $143.3 million (30 Jun 2020: $139.9 million).

Capital management of the Group

At 31 December 2020, the Group had a combined facility limit of $450.0 million, with a weighted average term to maturity of 2.8 years, drawn to $147.0 million.

The Group’s Loan to Value Ratio (“LVR”) was 14.7% at 31 December 2020, which is below the Group’s target range of 30%-40% due to the completion of the equity raise in 2H20 where the funds were not fully deployed at 31 December 2020.

In February 2021, the Group entered into a new seven-year $75.0 million debt facility with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), increasing the Group’s combined facility limit to $525.0 million.

  • On 16 February 2021, the Directors declared an interim distribution of 5.0 cps, amounting to $16.3 million to be paid on 25 March 2021.

FY21 outlook

The Group is well positioned to meet the increase in demand for affordable housing from downsizers and will grow its rental base in FY21 by continuing to invest in new rental homes, tourism cabins and the creation of new rental contracts from development projects. Ingenia expects to continue to be a major beneficiary from the rebound in domestic travel as international borders remain closed.

Where on strategy opportunities can be identified, the Group will acquire mature lifestyle and holiday communities and continue to grow its development pipeline. The Group will continue to regularly assess market opportunities and the performance of existing assets, remixing the Group’s portfolio to maximise longer-term returns.

The Group has a strong balance sheet to fund growth opportunities, whilst the Joint Venture and the funds management business provide additional sources of capital, and diversification of the Group’s revenue streams.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited For the six months ended 31 December 2020

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) The Group

The financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the “Company”) comprises the consolidated financial report of the Company and its controlled entities, including Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“ICMT”) (collectively, the “Trusts”). The shares of the Company are stapled with the units of the Trusts and trade on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) effectively as one security. Ingenia Communities RE Limited (“ICRE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the Responsible Entity of the Trusts. In this report, the Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively as the Group.

The constitutions of the Company and the Trusts require that, for as long as they remain jointly quoted on the ASX, the number of shares in the Company and of units in each trust shall remain equal and those security holders in the Company and unitholders in each trust shall be identical.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

  • the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by special resolution in accordance with its constitution to terminate the stapling provisions; or

  • the commencement of the winding up of the Company or either of the Trusts.

The half-year financial report as at and for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 16 February 2021.

(b) Basis of preparation

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year financial report does not include all of the information required for a full-year financial report and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any ASX announcements issued during the period.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

As permitted by Instrument 2015/838, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the financial statements and accompanying notes of the Group have been presented in the attached combined financial report.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated, as permitted by Instrument 2016/191.

The financial report is prepared on a historical cost basis, except for investment properties, retirement village resident loans, derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and other financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 with the exception of new amended standards and interpretations which have been applied as required.

Where appropriate, comparative amounts have been restated to ensure consistency of disclosure throughout the financial report.

(c) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

New accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards, and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s future financial reporting.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited For the six months ended 31 December 2020

2. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Group to exercise its judgement in the process of applying its accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, may not equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

i. Valuation of investment property, other financial assets and other financial liabilities

The Group has investment properties and assets held for sale which together represent the estimated fair value of the Group’s investment property. Other financial assets represent the Group’s investment in a number of unlisted property funds. Other financial liabilities relate to a profit share arrangement with a thirdparty which is carried at fair value.

The carrying value of these assets reflect certain assumptions about expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. The valuation assumptions for properties to be developed reflect sales prices for new homes, sales rates, new rental tariffs, estimates of capital expenditure, discount rates and projected property growth rates. Other financial liabilities are a Level 3 financial instrument of which the carrying value reflects certain assumptions about: expected future rentals; operating costs; sales prices for new homes; sales rates; new rental tariffs; estimates of capital expenditure; projected property growth rates and capitalisation rate, at a discount rate of 13%. The valuation assumptions for deferred management fee villages reflect average length of stay, unit market values, estimates of capital expenditure, contract terms with residents, discount rates and projected property growth rates.

In forming these assumptions, the Group considered information about recent sales activity, current market rents, discount rates, capitalisation rates for properties similar to those owned by the Group, as well as independent valuations of the Group’s property.

ii. Valuation of inventories

The Group has inventory in the form of lifestyle homes and service station fuel and supplies, which it carries at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time of estimation, the amount the inventories are expected to realise and the estimated costs of completion. Key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are continually reviewed.

iii. Valuation of resident loans

The fair value of the resident loans is calculated by reference to the initial loan amount plus the resident’s share of any capital gains in accordance with their contracts, less any deferred management fee income accrued to date by the Group as operator. The key assumption for calculating capital gain and deferred management fee income components is the value of the dwelling being occupied by the resident. This value is determined by reference to the valuation of investment property, as referred to above.

iv. Calculation of deferred management fees (“DMF")

Deferred management fees are recognised by the Group over the estimated period of time the property will be leased by the resident, and accrued DMF is realised upon the departure of the resident. DMF is based on various inputs, including the initial price of the property, estimated length of stay of the resident, various contract terms, and projected price of property at time of re-leasing.

(b) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial report.

(1) The carrying value of Latitude One represents 100% of the property value. A profit share arrangement is in place with a third-party, the liability for which is carried at fair value and classified as a non-current financial liability.

Investment properties are carried at fair value in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy in the Group’s 30 June 2020 Annual Report. 11 Lifestyles villages and 9 Ingenia Garden villages were externally valued across October and December 2020.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in its absence, the most advantageous market.

In determining fair values, the Group considers relevant information including the capitalisation of rental streams using market assessed capitalisation rates. For investment properties under development the Group assesses fair value based on expected net cash flows discounted to their present value using market determined risk-adjusted discount rates and other available market data such as recent comparable transactions. As such the fair value of an investment property under development will differ depending on the number of settlements realised and the stage that each development is at.

In determining the fair value of certain assets, recent market offers have been taken into consideration.

Capitalisation method

Under the capitalisation method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the expectation of future benefits. The capitalisation method involves estimating the expected income projections of the property and applying a capitalisation rate into perpetuity. The capitalisation rate is based on current market evidence. Future income projections take into account occupancy, rental income and operating expenses.

Discounted cash flow method

Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life, including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows on a real property interest. To this projected cash flow series, a marketderived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the income stream associated with the asset. The exit yield normally reflects the exit value expected to be achieved upon selling the asset and is a function of the risk-adjusted returns of the asset and expected capitalisation rate.

The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment or refurbishment as well as the development of new units. The appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour that is a characteristic of the class of real property. Periodic cash flow is typically estimated as gross income less vacancy, non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, maintenance cost, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net underlying cash flows, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then discounted.

Given the constantly changing nature of the COVID-19 situation, the fair value at reporting date involves uncertainties around the underlying assumptions. The external valuations undertaken during the period, contained material valuation uncertainty clauses given the impacts of COVID-19. Valuations can be relied upon at the date of valuation however, a higher level of valuation uncertainty than normal is assumed, and property values could change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Unitholders of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (collectively the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report of the Group is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2020 and of its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter: Investment Property Fair Value

We draw attention to Note 9 of the financial report which describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the determination of fair value of investment property and how this has been considered by the Directors in the preparation of the financial report. Due to the heightened degree of valuation uncertainty, property values may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s consolidated financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its consolidated financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Group, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

==> picture [86 x 100] intentionally omitted <==

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Directors’ Report (continued)

Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust For the six months ended 31 December 2020

Our Values

At Ingenia we build community on a foundation of integrity and respect, creating a place where people have a sense of connection and belonging. We strive for continuous improvement in our resident, guest and visitor service, to ensure that they receive an amazing experience every day. Whether it’s time to live, play, stay or renew, we deliver freedom of choice with a range of industry award winning lifestyle and holiday options.

==> picture [413 x 148] intentionally omitted <==

Strategy

The Group is positioning for scale and long-term sector leadership whilst delivering growth in net operating income and enhancing the operational performance of its investment properties.

Using a disciplined investment framework, the Group will: continue to grow its lifestyle and holiday communities business in metropolitan and coastal locations; build out its existing development pipeline; expand development and revenue streams through the Joint Venture with Sun Communities, Inc (NYSE: SUI) and funds management platform; and deploy equity raised in 2H20 to acquire existing communities and additional development sites.

The immediate business priorities of the Group are:

  • Capitalise on opportunities to expand the development pipeline to deliver new rental contracts;

  • Improve performance of existing assets to drive growth in rental returns;

  • Improve resident and guest satisfaction;

  • Enhance sustainable competitive advantage through recruitment, retention and development of industry leading talent;

  • Focus on sales and marketing effectiveness to successfully launch new projects and grow rental base;

  • Continue rollout of new rental and tourism cabins;

  • Expand the funds management platform and deliver performance for investors;

  • Execute the development Joint Venture business plan, delivering opportunities for capital light growth and additional revenue streams;

  • Maintain focus on employee, resident and guest health and safety;

  • Continue to advance focus on sustainable home design and construction;

  • Build on the Group’s sustainability and carbon emissions reduction program and enhance disclosures as initiatives are progressed.

1H21 financial results

The six months to 31 December 2020 delivered total revenue of $122.0 million, up 4% on the prior corresponding period. The Group built and sold 136[1] turnkey homes (1H20: 140 homes) and grew Lifestyle and Holidays rental income by 18% to $45.7 million (1H20: $38.5 million).

Statutory profit of $32.5 million was up 38% on the prior corresponding period. The statutory result reflects the combination of growth in underlying earnings and fair value movements on investment property arising from: improved capitalisation rates, offset by transaction costs on new acquisitions and a reduction in fair value associated with the realisation of development profits on settlement of homes from the Groups communities under development.

1 Including eight settlements at Ingenia Lifestyle Freshwater, the Group’s first Joint Venture project with Sun Communities.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust For the six months ended 31 December 2020

Underlying profit from continuing operations was $32.8 million, up 24% on the prior corresponding period. The underlying result was underpinned by a strong second quarter performance from the Lifestyle & Holiday segment, record occupancy in Ingenia Gardens offset by the Lifestyle Development segment which was negatively impacted by COVID-19 with lower settlements having an adverse effect on the 1H21 financial results compared to the prior corresponding period. Included in the result is $5.1 million of JobKeeper subsidy which supported a loss of revenue and additional costs associated with COVID-19 (including the employment of staff). Due to the improved outlook for the business, the Group will repay $1.7 million of the JobKeeper subsidy, subsequent to period end.

Operating cash flow for the period was $59.7 million, up 110% from the prior corresponding period, positively impacted by a strong tourism performance in the second quarter, the acquisition of new communities and positive working capital movements, with lower inventory on hand and growth in tourism deposits held.

The Group grew its investment in lifestyle communities during the period, with a continued focus on progressing the Group’s development pipeline to enable further growth in its recurring rental base through the expansion and creation of high-quality communities.

The Group continued to divest non-core assets to support the Group’s capital recycling strategy, with the divestment of Ingenia Holidays Albury and Ingenia Holidays Sun Country in 1H21.

The Group’s earnings per security during the half were adversely impacted by the 2H20 equity raise, where the proceeds raised were not fully deployed by 31 December 2020.

Key metrics

  • Net profit for the half-year for ICF $15.1 million (1H20: $13.9 million profit).

  • Net profit for the half-year for ICMT of $5.6 million (1H20: $2.0 million loss).

  • Interim distributions of 5.0 cents per unit by ICF, nil from ICMT.

Development Joint Venture (Joint Venture)

The development Joint Venture with Sun Communities successfully completed the construction of the Clubhouse and community facilities at Freshwater, its first Greenfield development in Burpengary East, QLD where it also delivered 8 home settlements. The Joint Venture completed the acquisition of its third site in Morisset, NSW, a large greenfield project located 1 hour north of Sydney. The Joint Venture also has a number of greenfield opportunities under option where development approvals are being sought.

During 1H21, revenue generated by Ingenia from the Joint Venture relates to asset management, development management and origination fees. The share of loss from the Joint Venture includes the expensing of transaction costs and stamp duty associated with the acquisition of land.

Strategic priorities

The Joint Venture’s objective is to acquire greenfield sites in key metro and coastal markets to develop a portfolio of new lifestyle communities. The Joint Venture leverages the expertise and local market knowledge of Ingenia to identify, acquire and develop sites. Once homes are sold, Ingenia will also provide operational services to the lifestyle communities. At completion of development, Ingenia has the right to acquire the communities at market value. Ingenia generates acquisition origination, development, and management fees for these services plus a performance fee for above hurdle rate project returns.

Directors’ Report (continued)

Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust For the six months ended 31 December 2020

Capital management

At 31 December 2020, the Group had a combined facility limit of $450.0 million, with a weighted average term to maturity of 2.8 years, drawn to $147.0 million.

The Group’s Loan to Value Ratio (“LVR”) was 14.7% at 31 December 2020, which is below the Group’s target range of 30%-40% due to the completion of the equity raise in 2H20 where the funds were not fully deployed at 31 December 2020. The balance of the funds raised are anticipated to be deployed in the second half of FY21.

In February 2021, the Group entered into a new seven-year $75.0 million debt facility with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC), increasing the Group’s combined facility limit to $525.0 million.

Distributions

The following distributions were made during or in respect of the half-year:

  • On 18 August 2020, the Directors declared a final distribution of 4.4 cps amounting to $14.3 million, which was paid on 24 September 2020.

  • On 16 February 2021, the Directors declared an interim distribution of 5.0 cps, amounting to $16.3 million to be paid on 25 March 2021.

FY21 outlook

The Group is well positioned to meet the increase in demand for affordable housing from downsizers and will grow its rental base in FY21 by continuing to invest in new rental homes, tourism cabins and the creation of new rental contracts from development projects. Ingenia expects to continue to be a major beneficiary from the rebound in domestic travel as international borders remain closed.

Where on strategy opportunities can be identified, the Group will acquire mature lifestyle and holiday communities and continue to grow its development pipeline. The Group will continue to regularly assess market opportunities and the performance of existing assets, remixing the Group’s portfolio to maximise longer-term returns.

The Group has a strong balance sheet to fund growth opportunities, whilst the Joint Venture and the funds management business provide additional sources of capital, and diversification of the Group’s revenue streams.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

Changes in the state of affairs during the current period are set out in the various reports in this Financial Report. Refer to Note 7 for investment properties acquired during the year, Note 10 for details of debt facility, and Note 11 for issued units.

EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

New debt facility

In February 2021, the Group entered into a seven-year $75.0 million debt facility with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, which will assist the Group in delivering clean energy commitments.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust For the six months ended 31 December 2020

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) The Trusts

Ingenia Communities Fund (“ICF” or the “Fund”) (ARSN 107 459 576) and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“ICMT”) (ARSN 122 928 410) (together the Trusts) are Australian registered schemes. Ingenia Communities RE Limited (ACN 154 464 990; Australian Financial Services Licence number 415862), the Responsible Entity of the Trusts, is incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The parent company of Ingenia Communities RE Limited is Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (the Company). The shares of the Company are stapled with the units of the Trusts and trade on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) effectively as one security. In this report, the Company and the Trusts are referred to collectively as the Group.

The stapling structure will cease to operate on the first to occur of:

  • the Company or either of the Trusts resolving by special resolution in accordance with its constitution to terminate the stapling provisions; or

  • the commencement of the winding up of the Company or either of the Trusts.

The half-year financial report as at and for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 16 February 2021.

(b) Basis of preparation

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report, which has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year financial report does not include all of the information required for a full-year financial report and should be read in conjunction with both the Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust annual reports for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any ASX announcements issued during the period.

The financial report complies with Australian Accounting Standards as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

As permitted by Instrument 2015/838, issued by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the financial statements and accompanying notes of the Trusts have been presented in the attached combined financial report.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated, as permitted by Instrument 2016/191.

The financial report is prepared on a historical cost bases, except for investment properties, retirement village resident loans, derivative financial instruments, other financial assets and other financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Trusts’ annual financial report the year ended 30 June 2020 with the exception of new amended standards and interpretations which have been applied as required.

Where appropriate, comparative amounts have been restated to ensure consistency of disclosure throughout the financial report.

(c) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards

New accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards, and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the current reporting period and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s future financial reporting.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust For the six months ended 31 December 2020

2. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Trusts to exercise judgement in the process of applying its accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed below.

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

(a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Trusts makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates, by definition, may not equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

i. Valuation of investment property, other financial assets and other financial liabilities

The Trusts have investment properties and assets held for sale which together represent the estimated fair value of investment property. Other financial assets represent ICMT’s investment in a number of unlisted property funds. Other financial liabilities relate to a profit share arrangement between ICMT and a third-party which is carried at fair value.

The carrying value of these assets reflect certain assumptions about expected future rentals, rent-free periods, operating costs and appropriate discount and capitalisation rates. The valuation assumptions for properties to be developed reflect sales prices for new homes, sales rates, new rental tariffs, estimates of capital expenditure, discount rates and projected property growth rates. Other financial liabilities are a Level 3 financial instrument of which the carrying value reflects certain assumptions about: expected future rentals; operating costs; sales prices for new homes; sales rates; new rental tariffs; estimates of capital expenditure; projected property growth rates and capitalisation rate, at a discount rate of 13%. The valuation assumptions for deferred management fee villages reflect average length of stay, unit market values, estimates of capital expenditure, contract terms with residents, discount rates and projected property growth rates.

In forming these assumptions, the Trusts considered information about recent sales activity, current market rents, discount rates and capitalisation rates for properties similar to those owned by the Trusts, as well as independent valuations of the Trusts’ property.

ii. Valuation of inventories

The Trusts have inventory in the form of lifestyle homes and service station fuel and supplies, which it carries at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time of estimation, the amount the inventories are expected to realise, and the estimated costs of completion. Key assumptions require the use of management judgement and are continually reviewed.

iii. Valuation of resident loans

The fair value of the resident loans is calculated by reference to the initial loan amount plus the resident’s share of any capital gains in accordance with their contracts, less any deferred management fee income accrued to date by ICMT as operator. The key assumption for calculating capital gain and deferred management fee income components is the value of the dwelling being occupied by the resident. This value is determined by reference to the valuation of investment property, as referred to above.

iv. Calculation of deferred management fees (“DMF”)

Deferred management fees are recognised by the Trusts over the estimated period of time the property will be leased by the resident, and the accrued DMF is realised upon the departure of the resident. DMF is based on various inputs, including the initial price of the property, estimated length of stay of the resident, various contract terms, and projected price of property at time of re-leasing.

(b) Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

There were no judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that management has made in the process of applying the entity’s accounting policies that had a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial report.

Independent Auditor's Review Report to the Unitholders of Ingenia Communities Fund and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (“the Trusts”)

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial reports which have been prepared in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Stapled Group Reports) Instrument 2015/838 and comprise:

  • the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of Ingenia Communities Fund, comprising Ingenia Communities Fund and the entities it controlled at half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

  • the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the half-year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of Ingenia Communities Management Trust, comprising Ingenia Communities Management Trust and the entities it controlled at half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial reports of the Trusts are not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of each consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Emphasis of Matter: Investment Property Fair Value

We draw attention to Note 7 of the financial report which describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the determination of fair value of investment property and how this has been considered by the Directors in the preparation of the financial report. Due to the heightened degree of valuation uncertainty, property values may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period of time. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the Ingenia Communities RE Limited as Responsible Entity of the Trusts are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial reports that give a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial reports that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial reports based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial reports are not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of each consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of the Trusts and the entities they controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
