2 annual report 2013 Lend Lease

ChaIrMan’s report

Lend Lease has continued its strong performance in a challenging market. our enviable development and construction pipeline and funds management platform underpin our position as a leading international property and infrastructure Group

solid Financial performance

Lend Lease has delivered continuing profit growth for the financial year ended 30 June 2013, with Statutory Profit after Tax for the year of $551.6 million, up 10 per cent on the prior year. Operating Profit after Tax of $553.0 million was up nine per cent on the prior year (excluding net property revaluation losses of $1.4 million after tax). This result reflects the successful execution of our strategy and the benefits of our integrated property model. Our development business was a key driver of earnings growth this year, with contributions from the Barangaroo South urban regeneration project in Sydney; the sale of our stakes in the Greenwich Peninsula regeneration project in London and the Jem[®] development in Singapore; and a strong performance from our infrastructure development business.

Securityholders will receive a final distribution of 20.0 cents per security, unfranked. This brings the full year distribution to 42.0 cents per security, an increase of 11 per cent on financial year 2012.

Financial strength

The Group retained a strong financial position through the year, with cash of $1,538.4 million as at 30 June 2013, gearing of 6.1 per cent and undrawn capacity of $1,099.4 million. The strength of our balance sheet and access to third party capital means we have the financial flexibility to fund our pipeline and invest in other opportunities, in line with our strategy.

Integrated property Model

Our integrated model is a strong competitive advantage for Lend Lease. We have the capacity to source, plan, design, finance, structure and deliver large scale mixed use projects and to manage the complexities of multiple stakeholders. The ability to combine these skills and apply them within a strong social responsibility framework have been instrumental in securing major projects such as Barangaroo South and Darling Harbour Live (Australia) and Elephant & Castle (London).

Creating safe and sustainable places

Safety is our number one priority. We continue to make significant progress, reporting no fatalities on a Lend Lease controlled operation in the last financial year. This outcome demonstrates our uncompromising commitment and resolve to operate Incident & Injury Free.

We strive to create innovative and sustainable property and infrastructure solutions for our clients, investors and communities. Internationally, we are already benefiting from our commitment to creating sustainable solutions. More than 90 per cent of the major projects in our development pipeline achieving or targeting green certification. This year our key city regeneration projects Barangaroo South (Sydney), Victoria Harbour (Melbourne) and Elephant & Castle (London) were recognised by the C40 Cities Climate Positive Development Program for their strategies and approach to achieving climate positive outcomes. We are very proud of this result, and will continue our leadership position in green development globally.

our people

During the year a number of senior appointments were made, strengthening the operational capabilities of the Group and supporting our growth strategy. We have continued our focus on developing our leaders through our Leadership Development Programs, with a greater number of leaders attending in 2013.

New career and development tools were introduced for all employees to assist in supporting their development for future roles. We will continue to support the development of our people and will implement further programs in early 2014.

Our commitment to diversity is equally important. Lend Lease is committed to growing and sustaining a diverse and inclusive workplace and in the past year we have maintained our diversity target, with 19 per cent of senior executive positions held by women. Now in the second year of our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) we are working towards our goal to increase the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People in professional roles in Lend Lease. In 2013 we had ten Indigenous university interns working across the business as well as 40 year 10 and 11 students who participated in our Careers for the Future program which aims to support teenagers in completing high school.

Board Composition

During the year there were changes to the composition of the Board. After more than six years as an Independent Director, Julie Hill retired in November 2012. Ms Hill brought great energy and insight to the Board, in particular with her efforts to promote the Group’s diversity agenda.

The Board Nomination Committee met numerous times this year to review Board composition and ensure it is comprised of individuals who, in combination, bring a mix of expertise, skills, experience and diversity to contribute to the oversight and effective corporate governance at Lend Lease. To that end, I was pleased to announce the appointment of Nicola Wakefield Evans to the Lend Lease Board, effective 1 September 2013. Ms Wakefield Evans is well known as one of the Asian regions leading Mergers & Acquisitions, corporate governance and resources and energy lawyers and brings significant experience to the Board.

outlook

In the last few years we have embarked on a clear strategy, building an enviable pipeline of integrated project opportunities and creating a point of difference for Lend Lease. We have good visibility of a strong earnings growth trajectory over the next three years and are targeting a return on equity over the medium term of 15 per cent. Despite challenging macro-economic conditions, we believe Lend Lease is well placed for 2014 and beyond.

My thanks to fellow Board members, as well as the Lend Lease leadership team and all employees, whose dedicated efforts throughout the year have seen us grow our returns for securityholders and put us clearly on a path to achieving our goals.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 3

Ceo’s report

We have established a global pipeline of projects and built a substantial backlog as part of our strategy to establish a balanced and diversified portfolio. our focus is now on the successful delivery of these projects, which will deliver earnings and drive growth over the next three years

2013 has been another strong year for Lend Lease. During the year we repositioned our business, delivered strong financial results from our diversified businesses and increased our earnings visibility.

repositioning of the Business

Earlier in the year we restructured our Australia operations by separating into two businesses, Construction and Infrastructure and Property. Australia now accounts for more than two thirds of our earnings and the more focused structure delivers the support required given the significant scale of the operations.

In some sectors in the second half of the year, we took the opportunity to further reposition our businesses in the United Kingdom, the Americas and Australia. This included the transition of our four separate construction operations of Abigroup, Baulderstone, Project Management & Construction and Infrastructure Services into three sector based businesses focused on building, engineering and construction services, which completed on 1 August 2013.

diversified earnings

Our diversified platform continues to support the Group achieving our financial targets. The Group delivered an Operating Profit after Tax of $553 million, an earnings increase of nine per cent on the prior year. Our Development business was a key driver of the Group’s earnings, through the successful sale of our interests in the Greenwich Project in London and Jem[®] in Singapore, as well as the first profits to emerge from Barangaroo South in Sydney. Other drivers included our Infrastructure Development business, which closed three large Public Private Partnership deals in Australia and one in America during the year, increasing their contribution to Group profit, and increased earnings from our Americas business.

earnings Visibility over the next three Years

We have a significant pipeline across our business, with an estimated end value development pipeline of $37.4 billion, construction backlog revenue of $17.2 billion and funds under management of $15 billion. In 2014, we will commence the production of 11 apartment towers on sites in Australia and the United Kingdom already achieving pre-sales targets and expecting to deliver profits in fiscal years 2015 and 2016.

safety

As the Chairman noted, safety is our number one priority. We take an uncompromising approach to achieving our goal of operating Incident & Injury Free. It is crucial all of our people have the right systems, support and information to deliver safe outcomes and positively influence our safety culture across the entire supply chain. This includes complying with our Global Minimum Requirements which prescribe physical and operational safety standards for all business activities.

our people

To create the best places we need the best people. We have made significant investment in focusing on the development and training of both our leaders and front line workforce. We want to ensure our people have the right skills to be able to deliver for today and the future. This year we continued to build upon the strength of our leadership team across our development, construction and investment management businesses with several senior appointments.

outlook

Lend Lease is well positioned with a significant development and construction backlog, a strong balance sheet and access to third party capital to assist funding the delivery of the pipeline. Our focus now needs to be high quality execution of that pipeline. Our employees are committed to driving securityholders value by delivering the best places for our clients, investors, partners and communities.

our Integrated Model – a Competitive advantage

We have made considerable progress in delivering on our strategy in 2013. We have created a differentiated business through our integrated property model and have established our position as a leading international property and infrastructure Group. Our $6 billion Barangaroo South project in Sydney is a great example of our integrated model at work and is already delivering profits to the Group.

1. Composition of the Board

relevant governance documents (see www.lendlease.com)

  • n Lend Lease Corporation Limited Constitution

  • n Board Charter n Policy on Independence of Directors

1.1 Composition and Membership

The Board consists of 10 directors of which 9 are independent. The Group’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen McCann, is the only executive on the Board. Membership of the Board as at 1 September 2013 comprises:

  • n David Crawford, AO – Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Stephen McCann – Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director

  • n Colin Carter, AM – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Phillip Colebatch – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Gordon Edington, CBE – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Peter Goldmark – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Jane Hemstritch – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n David Ryan, AO – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Michael Ullmer – Independent Non-Executive Director

  • n Nicola Wakefield Evans – Independent Non-Executive Director (appointed with effect from 1 September 2013)

Profiles of the Directors including their skills, experience and expertise relevant to their position as well as the period they have held office as a director can be found in the Directors’ Report on page 67 of this Annual Report. As Nicola Wakefield Evans was appointed following the release of the Directors’ Report, her profile will be included in the 2013 Notice of Meeting and the Securityholder Review.

The Directors have a range of local and international experience and expertise, as well as specialised skills to assist with decision making and leading the Group for the benefit of securityholders.

1.2 Independent Directors

The Board’s Policy on the Independence of Directors sets out the criteria and guidelines for assessing the independence of Directors and assists the Board in determining whether a Director is to be regarded as independent.

The predominant test used by the Board is whether the Director is independent of management and free of any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the exercise of their unfettered and independent judgement. This general test of independence is supplemented by specific criteria and thresholds which encompass the definition of independence set out in the ASX Recommendations.

The Board evaluates the materiality of any interests or relationships that could be perceived to compromise independence on a case-by-case basis having regard to the circumstances of each Director. Where the Board is satisfied in the circumstances that the Director meets the general test of independence the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that a Director is independent even though not all of the criteria under the Policy are satisfied. Appropriate disclosures will be made to the market where the Board considers that an independent Director has ceased to be independent.

The Board assesses the independence of each Director each year and at any time on disclosure by a Director of any new interests or relationships.

The Board considers that all the Non-Executive Directors are independent and have remained so throughout the year. Executive Director, Stephen McCann Group CEO and Managing Director is not considered to be an independent Director due to his integral involvement in the day-to-day management of the Group’s businesses.

1.3 Chairman of the Board

The Chairman of the Board is elected by the Directors and serves as the primary link between the Board and management. The Board Charter prohibits the current or any former CEO of the Group from becoming Chairman and the roles of Chairman and Managing Director are separate.

It is the Chairman’s responsibility to provide leadership to the Board and ensure that the Board works effectively and discharges its responsibilities. The Chairman is responsible for ensuring that each Director participates fully in Board activities. He works with the Company Secretary to set and guide the Board agenda and ensure that Board meetings are held regularly throughout the year.

David Crawford has been Chairman of the Board since May 2003.

1.4 Retirement and Re-election of Directors

Under the Constitution of LLC, at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the Directors and any other Director who will have been in office for three or more Annual General Meetings since he or she was last elected (excluding the Managing Director) must retire from office and may submit themselves for re-election. Prior to standing, each director undergoes a performance evaluation which is considered by the Board in making a recommendation in respect to re-election.

1.5 Selection and Appointment of New Directors

The Nomination Committee is responsible for the recommendation to the Board in respect to the appointment of new Directors. The aim is to have a Board comprised of Directors with an appropriate mix and balance of skills, expertise, experience, diversity and independence. Board succession is constantly under review.

The process of selecting a new Director involves reviewing the experience of current Directors, identifying any gaps in the board skill-sets and commissioning an international recruitment firm to identify and present appropriate candidates following a comprehensive briefing as to the Board’s requirements. The Board has regard to a number of factors when reviewing candidates including technical skills and expertise, experience across relevant industries and geographic locations and diversity of background. The candidates undergo a thorough process which involves formal interviews with each of the Directors of the Board as well as comprehensive background checks.

New Directors must stand for election at the AGM immediately following their appointment.

During the year there were changes in the composition of the Board. Julie Hill retired in November 2012 and Nicola Wakefield Evans was appointed to the Board. Nicola is standing for election at the 2013 AGM and the Board unanimously endorses her election.

Corporate GoVernanCe CONTINUED

1.6 Induction and briefing programs

New Directors are provided with a letter of appointment which sets out their rights, duties and responsibilities as a Director of Lend Lease. They also receive a comprehensive information pack and attend briefings with management to enable them to gain an understanding of the Group’s businesses, strategy, key issues and operations. Visits to Lend Lease sites are part of the induction program.

All Directors have access to Group information, senior management and employees as required to enable them to fulfil their responsibilities. Management briefings are given at Board meetings and Directors are regularly briefed on key business and industry developments and matters material to their role. Presentations by external speakers are organised as part of the Board program to give Directors an overview and understanding of macro-issues affecting the Group. Directors are also encouraged to attend externally administered training seminars and programs.

1.7 Directors’ Remuneration

Details of the Group’s Remuneration Policy and the remuneration of Directors is contained in the Remuneration Report at page 102. The structure of Non-Executive Director remuneration is clearly distinguished from that of other senior executives. The principle distinction is that performance-based components do not form part of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration in order to ensure their independence.

retirement Benefits plan

In recognition of feedback from securityholders the Directors resolved in 2010 to discontinue further awards of retirement securities. Any accrued securities have been preserved and will be paid to the Director on retirement. Non-Executive Directors appointed since January 2010 are not entitled to receive any retirement benefits, other than superannuation.

Further details of the retirement plan for Non-Executive Directors are provided in the Directors’ Report at page 103.

These meetings run over two or three days. The Group’s senior management is invited to attend and present at Board meetings where appropriate.

2.3 Board Performance

The Board conducts an annual review of its performance and that of the Chairman and individual Directors retiring and seeking re-election at the AGM. An external review is conducted biennially and an internal review is conducted each alternate year.

external review

The Miles Group has been engaged to undertake the next external review of the Board in 2014. The review will commence in January 2014 with the main areas of focus being:

  • n Role of the Board;

  • n Size, composition and experience of the Board;

  • n Procedures and practices of the Board;

  • n Meeting arrangements and meeting discipline;

  • n Relationship with Management;

  • n Individual Director effectiveness;

  • n Onboarding education for new Directors; and,

  • n New challenges.

The findings of the external review will be considered by the Board and appropriate action taken where required.

2.4 Independent Decision Making

Any Director may seek external, independent, professional advice at the expense of Lend Lease. It is expected that a Director will consult the Chairman of the Board, Managing Director or Group Company Secretary before obtaining external advice. The policy of the Board is that external advice will be made available to all Directors unless the Chairman of the Board determines otherwise.

To facilitate independent decision making by the Board, the Non-Executive Directors meet without management present at each Board meeting.

2.5 Company Secretary

Appointed by the Board the Group Company Secretary works with the Chairman of the Board to monitor and enhance corporate governance processes and to ensure that Board policies and procedures are followed. Details of the experience and qualifications of the Company Secretary are set out in the Directors’ Report on page 70.

2.6 Senior Management

structure

The management structure of Lend Lease consists of the Group CEO and the Global Leadership Team.

Internal review and assessment

The Chairman of the Nominations Committee conducts and oversees this review and assessment.

An internal review was conducted in 2013. A key activity during the year was Board and committee succession planning and renewal. Following a review of the committees, Michael Ullmer was appointed to the position of Sustainability Committee Chairman, and Colin Carter was appointed to the role of Nomination Committee Chairman.

The review process includes interviews with Directors and senior management, may involve interviews with key stakeholders, and generates recommendations to ensure the Board continues to operate effectively with the requisite mix of skills and experience, and appropriate procedures.

The Chair of the Nomination Committee, acting in consultation with other Board members, is responsible for conducting an annual evaluation of the Group CEO and the Chairman of the Board.

The Global Leadership Team comprises the Group Chief Operating Officer, the Group Chief Financial Officer, the Group General Counsel, the Group Head of Corporate Affairs and the CEOs of the five regions – Property Australia, Construction & Infrastructure Australia, Americas, EMEA and Asia. The Global Leadership Team is responsible for managing the Group’s performance and key business issues in line with the Group’s long term strategy.

The Global Leadership Team meet on a regular basis and each meeting is chaired by the Group CEO.

performance review

The Board sets goals for the Group CEO who is responsible for setting goals for the Global Leadership Team in consultation with the Personnel and Organisation Committee. STI outcomes are based on performance during the year, and are primarily measured through the use of scorecards. Scorecards for the Group CEO and Global Leadership Team reflect short, medium and long term goals related to delivering financial returns, reshaping of the Group’s portfolio, setting up the business for future growth, embedding operational excellence and investing in people.

The Group CEO and the Personnel and Organisation Committee conduct a detailed review of the performance of the Global Leadership Team against these goals on an annual basis at the end of each financial year. In addition each member of the Global Leadership Team also conducts a performance evaluation of their own performance.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 9

A review of the performance of all members of the Global Leadership Team was conducted in the financial year and was in accordance with the procedure described above.

The reviews by management are reported to and considered by the Personnel and Organisation Committee for the purposes of its consideration and ultimate recommendation to the Board on performance against scorecards.

remuneration

The Board continually considers the Group’s Executive Reward Strategy and during the past year a comprehensive assessment considered how the Group sets goals, how performance is measured, how performance should be translated into a remuneration package, and the factors that should determine the vesting of deferred awards. The Group’s Executive Reward Strategy, which consists of a framework and policy for governing how key senior employees are remunerated, supports the achievement of Lend Lease’s strategy of ‘Restore, Build, Lead’ to achieve long term sustainable growth for the Group.

The Board has comprehensively outlined the Executive Reward Strategy and framework in the Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report explains how performance has been linked to reward outcomes at Lend Lease this year, and changes being made to remuneration policy going forward. Further information is set out in the Remuneration Report on page 92.

Full details of the committee’s work on behalf of the Board are set out in the Remuneration Report.

sustainability Committee

The committee assists the Board in monitoring the decisions and actions of management in achieving Lend Lease’s aspiration to be a sustainable organisation.

3.1 Overview of Board Committees

The Board recognises the essential role of committees in guiding the Company on specific issues. Four permanent Board Committees have been established to assist, advise and make recommendations to the Board on matters falling within their areas of responsibility. Each of the committees consist entirely of independent, Non-Executive Directors. The Chair of each Committee is not a Chair of other committees, or Chair of the Board. The performance of the Committees, its membership and the Charters are periodically reviewed.

Each committee is governed by a formal Charter setting out its objectives, roles and responsibilities, composition, structure, membership requirements and operation. The committees are required to meet quarterly or more often as considered necessary. Directors who are not a member of a committee have a standing invitation to attend meetings of committees. From time to time special subcommittees are formed to give the Board better guidance and provide oversight concerning specific matters.

relevant governance documents (see www.lendlease.com) n Risk and Audit Committee Charter n Risk Management Policy

4.1 Enterprise Risk Management

Risk Management is a critical oversight responsibility of the Board. The Group uses an Enterprise Risk Management approach to identify, evaluate, address, monitor, quantify and report material business risks to the Risk Management and Audit Committee. The objective of this approach is to enhance stakeholder value through continuous improvement in the Group’s management of risk. The Group’s Corporate Risk Management is led by the Group Head of Risk and Insurance. Corporate Risk Management liaises with regional CEOs and risk specialists on both business specific and enterprise-wide risks. Corporate Risk Management’s objective is to assist the Group’s businesses to further develop their risk management processes. Its role includes:

  • n advising on and implementing risk treatment strategies at Group level;

  • n assisting management to embed Enterprise Risk Management;

  • n assisting Group businesses to implement and maintain effective risk management practices;

  • n maintaining effective early warning reporting systems; and,

  • n consolidating information for presentation to the Risk Management and Audit Committee.

4.2 Risk Management Reporting

Management is responsible for keeping the Board’s Risk Management and Audit Committee informed on a regular basis of material business risks. In the reporting period, the Committee has received regular reports on material risks facing Lend Lease businesses worldwide and management has reported to the Board as to the effectiveness of Lend Lease’s management of its known material business risks.

Lend Lease uses an online risk matrix to report and monitor risks in the following categories:

  • n Financial

  • n Legal/Regulatory

  • n Health & Safety

  • n Performance

  • n Environment & Community

  • n People

  • n Property/Business Continuity

  • n Information Technology

The categorisation drives functional accountability for managing the primary cause or consequence of the risk noting that all risks may impact our reputation or have a secondary effect.

The risk matrix defines the risk tolerance of Lend Lease by setting thresholds for impact and likelihood and defining the material business risks required to be reported to the Board.

Lend Lease also has an Internal Audit function to provide Financial, Operational and Environment, Health & Safety assurance. The Group Head of Internal Audit reports to the Risk Management and Audit Committee as well as to the Group Chief Financial Officer and is independent from the external auditor.

4.3 Key Risk Management Practices

Operational businesses are responsible for risk management outcomes and implementing self-assurance programs to assess the effectiveness of risk management procedures. Formal internal and external audit procedures are utilised to provide supplementary assurance. The Group uses sensitivity analysis and risk modelling to identify the most important assumptions affecting the delivery of the Group’s business plans. Project Control Groups are set up as required to focus attention on particular risks.

The Group’s approach to risk management is guided by the International Standard on Risk Management, ISO 31000 on Risk Management.

4.4 Key Policies

In addition to Board delegated Limits of Authority a number of key specific policies govern the way Lend Lease conducts its business and manages material business risks. These policies (including the Risk Management Policy) are available at the corporate governance area of the Lend Lease website at www.lendlease.com.

4.5 Integrity in Financial Reporting, Risk Management and Internal Control

The Group CEO and the Chief Financial Officer have declared in writing to the Board that, for the year ended 30 June 2013:

With regard to the Financial Reports of the consolidated entity comprising Lend Lease Corporation Limited and its controlled entities including Lend Lease Trust (together referred to as the ‘Consolidated Entity’) for the year ending 30 June 2013:

  1. The Consolidated Entity’s financial records have been properly maintained in accordance with Section 286 of the Corporations Act; and

  2. The Consolidated Entity’s financial statements and notes required by the Accounting Standards give a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position and performance and comply with Australian Accounting Standards.

With regard to the risk management and internal compliance and control systems of the Consolidated Entity for the year ended 30 June 2013, the declarations made in 1 and 2 above with respect to the integrity of the Consolidated Entity’s Financial Reports for the year ended 30 June 2013 are founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

Since 30 June 2013, nothing has come to the attention of the Group CEO or the Chief Financial Officer that would indicate any material change to any of the statements made above.

The Group’s senior management has also reported to the Board of Lend Lease on the effectiveness of the management of material business risks for the year ended 30 June 2013.

4.6 External Auditor

KPMG is the external auditor of Lend Lease and its controlled entities. In April 2013, the Board commenced a tender process for the role of external auditor for the Group. A thorough process was undertaken, including the appointment of former ASIC Chairman Alan Cameron, AO as Probity Officer to oversee its robustness and independence. At the conclusion of the audit tender process in July 2013, it was announced that KPMG would continue as the Group’s external auditor.

In considering retaining KPMG as the existing auditor, an appropriate balance was required between ensuring audit independence and maximising audit quality. The Group is a large listed company, operating in a complex environment with complex business structures and operating models. KPMG has invested significant time and effort to understand the Group’s operations and the cumulative knowledge of Lend Lease obtained by KPMG over many years cannot be underestimated.

performance Management

The Risk Management and Audit Committee has the responsibility to oversee and appraise the quality and effectiveness of the audits conducted by the external auditor. The external auditor attends each meeting of the Committee and at every meeting, time is set aside so that the committee can meet with the external auditor without management present. The Committee Chairman meets with the external auditor at least quarterly, also in the absence of management.

selection, appointment and rotation

The Risk Management and Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations to the Board as to the selection, re-appointment or replacement of the auditor and the rotation of the lead audit partner. The lead partner is rotated every five years. The current audit engagement partner is Stuart Marshall who was appointed with effect from 1 July 2011.

provision of non audit and other services

Lend Lease has a comprehensive policy to ensure that services provided by the external auditor do not impact or have the potential to impact upon their independence. All non audit services need to be approved by both the Chairman of the Risk Management and Audit Committee and the KPMG lead partner to ensure that the proposed arrangement does not, or will not be viewed as compromising KPMG’s independence.

Under the terms of the policy the auditor should be appointed for other service engagements only where it is best suited to undertake the work. The policy further provides that the auditor should not provide services having the potential to impair the independence of its role. Generally these include the following services:

  • n Bookkeeping, preparation of, and other services in relation to, accounting records and financial statements;

  • n Design and implementation of financial information systems or financial controls;

  • n Valuation services, appraisals or fairness opinions, where the results are material to the financial statements or where the external auditor would be required to audit those statements or opinions;

  • n Outsourced internal audit services;

  • n Secondments;

  • n Recruitment and other human resources services, including international assignee services;

  • n Actuarial services;

  • n Management functions;

  • n Legal services;

  • n Taxation advice of a strategic or tax planning nature;

  • n Broker-dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services;

  • n Work that is remunerated through a “success fee” structure;

  • n Expert services unrelated to the audit; and,

  • n Work that involves the auditor acting in an advocacy role for the Group.

The Chief Financial Officer and the auditor are each required to provide a statement that the non audit assignment will not impair the auditor’s independence. During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other assurance services in addition to its statutory duties. The Board has considered the other assurance services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Risk Management and Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those assurance services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • n All other assurance services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the Risk Management and Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and

  • n The other assurance services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

  • n Apart from conducting the external audit of the Group and undertaking other assurance services, KMPG were not retained to undertake any other assignments of any kind for the Group.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 13

auditor’s Independence

A copy of the Lead Auditor’s Independence Declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act has been included in the Directors’ Report.

Fees

  • n External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy

  • n Securities Trading Policy

  • n Code of Conduct

  • n Political Donations Policy

5.1 Securityholder Communications and Continuous Disclosure

The Group has an External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy designed to ensure that Lend Lease complies with the continuous disclosure obligations set out in the ASX Listing Rules.

The Policy explains the continuous disclosure obligations of Lend Lease, the procedure to be followed when information needs to be disclosed to the market, contains guidance on how to identify information which may fall within the disclosure requirements and the consequences of breaching the Policy. The Policy sets out the protocols applicable to Directors, executive officers and employees designed to ensure that Lend Lease complies with these continuous disclosure obligations.

The Policy also sets out management accountabilities for ensuring that the market is fully informed as well as procedures governing analyst briefings and public comment by Group spokespersons.

Communications with securityholders

Lend Lease also recognises that whilst there is a legal obligation of disclosure there is also an ethical obligation to securityholders to ensure that investor confidence is maintained through full and timely communication and disclosure to securityholders and the market.

The External Communications and Continuous Disclosure Policy is designed to facilitate this objective, and promotes effective communication with securityholders.

The Policy ensures that any announcements made on the ASX are posted on the Lend Lease website as soon as practicable following confirmation of receipt by the ASX.

The Lend Lease website is the key information dissemination point to the broader market. In addition to including on the website all announcements to the market:

  • n copies of current and past annual and half-year reports are available on the website;

  • n results presentations made to analysts or institutional investors are available on the website; and,

  • n market briefings to analysts and institutional investors are webcast live and archived on the website for three months. Presentation material used during a webcast can be viewed simultaneously or accessed from the archive.

In addition, securityholders can contact us at any time through the Investor Relations team, with contact details available on our website.

annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is the primary opportunity for securityholders to meet face-to-face with the Board and senior executives. The meeting provides an update to securityholders on the Group’s performance and offers an opportunity for securityholders to ask questions and vote on important matters affecting the business. Lend Lease encourages participation at the AGM and securityholders are invited to submit questions ahead of the AGM by completing the relevant form accompanying the Notice of Meeting. Directors also make themselves available after the formal part of the AGM to meet with securityholders. Key members of the Global Leadership Team are present at the meeting and available to answer questions.

For securityholders who are unable to attend in person the proceedings of the AGM are webcast live on the Lend Lease website and later archived for three months. Presentations made at the AGM are also available on the website for access by interested stakeholders. Copies of the speeches delivered by the Chairman and the Group CEO and the outcome of voting on the items of business are released on the ASX.

The Corporate Disclosure Manager is responsible for employee education on continuous disclosure obligations, external communications, monitoring of market information in relation to Lend Lease, maintaining records of information released to the market and ensuring that information on the Lend Lease website is up to date.

Core Values

The Core Values of Lend Lease underpin how the Group does business, how it interacts with stakeholders, and how its people operate in the workplace. The Core Values are promoted across all of the Group’s businesses and are as follows:

|Trust|Be open and transparent.|
|We earn and instil trust by being accountable at every level and in all of our interactions.|

----- End of picture text -----

Code of Conduct

The Lend Lease Code of Conduct which is endorsed by the Board, sets out the standards of conduct expected of our businesses and people, regardless of location. It applies to all Directors and employees of Lend Lease and operates in conjunction with our Core Values and the Employee Conduct Guide. A copy of the Code of Conduct can be found on the Lend Lease website.

Employees are encouraged to apply the following “Lend Lease Test” when in doubt as to whether any action might breach the Code of Conduct:

“Would I be willing to see what I’m doing or about to do described in detail on the front page of a national newspaper to be read by family and friends?”

Employees must not undertake any action that fails the "Lend Lease Test" even if it is not expressly prohibited by the Code of Conduct.

The Code is supported by various global, regional and local business unit policies and procedures. The Employee Conduct Guide summarises what is expected of employees in relation to the Core Values and Code of Conduct, as well as our Group policies and procedures. Completion of the Employee Conduct Guide e-learning training program is mandatory for all employees.

All employees of the Group are required to recertify their Employee Conduct Guide training on an annual basis.

Code of Conduct Breach reporting

The Code of Conduct Breach Reporting Policy supports the Code of Conduct and provides a mechanism for employees to raise concerns about unethical or illegal business conduct, including behaviour which seems to depart from the Core Values or Code of Conduct. This policy applies to all officers, employees and contractors of the Lend Lease Group in all jurisdictions where the Group operates.

The action taken to investigate disclosures under this Policy depends on the particular circumstances. Generally, disclosures made under this Policy are treated confidentially.

The Policy also offers protection to anyone who reports concerns in good faith. If an individual’s identity is disclosed during the investigation process, the individual will not be disadvantaged in their employment by any Group company.

5.3 Conflicts of Interest

Lend Lease has systems and protocols in place to identify a conflict of interest and a framework for managing conflicts. A variety of measures have been adopted to manage conflicts of interest including Group policies, systems, lists and appropriate disclosures. Directors are required upon their appointment to disclose to Lend Lease any interests or directorships which they have with other organisations and update this information if it changes during the course of the directorship. Directors and senior executives are also required to identify any conflicts of interest they may have in dealing with the Group’s affairs and refrain, as appropriate, from participating in any discussion or voting on these matters. Directors are required to raise with the Group Company Secretary any matters that may give rise to a conflict of interest. Directors who have a conflict will not receive the relevant Board paper and are not present for the part of the Board meeting where the matter is considered.

General guidelines in relation to managing conflicts of interest can be found in the Code of Conduct, and a range of procedures designed to ensure compliance have been implemented at a Group and business level.

5.4 Trading in Lend Lease Securities

The Lend Lease Securities Trading Policy was updated in July 2013 and sets out the circumstances in which Directors and employees may deal in Lend Lease securities. The policy complies with the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules in relation to Securities Trading Policies.

Under the policy, Directors and Designated Executives must not deal in Lend Lease securities in any period other than:

  • n the 6 week period commencing on the business day following the announcement of the annual results;

  • n the 6 week period commencing on the business day following the announcement of the half year results;

  • n the 6 week period commencing on the business day following the Annual General Meeting;

  • n a period during which Lend Lease has a current prospectus or other form of disclosure document on issue under which persons may subscribe for Lend Lease securities; or

  • n any other period determined by the Board, in advance, to be an open window period.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 15

The policy requires Directors and Designated Executives to notify the Group General Counsel or Group Company Secretary prior to any dealings and Directors must also promptly provide details of any trade to the Company Secretary for disclosure to the ASX.

The Policy restricts all other employees from dealing in Lend Lease securities between the close of the financial year, or half year, and a day which is at least the next business day after the announcement of Lend Lease’s results.

The Policy reinforces the insider trading provisions of the Corporations Act. Trading in securities when in the possession of inside information that is not generally available to the public is prohibited at all times. The policy explicitly states that dealing in securities or procuring or communicating with others in relation to securities at any time is prohibited if it would be in breach of the insider trading rules.

Directors and Designated Executives must obtain the consent of the Chairman (or in his or her absence the Chair of the Risk Management and Audit Committee) and the Group General Counsel prior to entering into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic risk of vested entitlements to Lend Lease securities, including margin loan arrangements. Transactions or arrangements must not be entered into other than during the prescribed trading periods.

5.5 Political Donations

The Lend Lease Group Political Donations Policy sets a firm and consistent standard across the Group that aims to ensure that public confidence is maintained in the Group and its relationships with governments and community leaders.

Lend Lease will not make any donations whether in cash or in kind to political parties or individuals holding or standing for public office. Lend Lease does however participate in public policy debate and policy development on issues that may impact the Group’s businesses and the interests of securityholders, employees and other stakeholders. At times, we do pay fees for Group employees to attend functions which involve discussion of issues relevant to the Group. Employees are required to obtain the prior approval of their Regional CEO before attending any function on behalf of Lend Lease which has political objectives. Where the function is primarily a political fund-raiser or where the amount paid for attending the event is in excess of a reasonable value, these are considered to be donations and are not permitted under the Policy.

6. diversity and Inclusion Governance

relevant governance documents (see www.lendlease.com)

  • n Diversity and Inclusion Policy

  • n Sustainability Committee Charter

  • n Personnel and Organisation Charter

  • n Nomination Committee Charter

6.1 Diversity at Lend Lease

At Lend Lease, diversity and inclusion is defined as ‘All the ways in which we differ’. Diversity of experience, diversity of thought and a collaborative environment leads to innovation. To be the leading international property and infrastructure group and achieve our vision to create the best places, we need a culture and an environment that embraces and respects difference, and where we attract, retain and enable the most talented people to perform.

The Lend Lease Board of Directors report on Lend Lease’s gender diversity performance in accordance with the Australian Securities Exchange Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations. Lend Lease has measurable objectives for gender diversity, shown below.

  • n Two out of ten Board Directors are women

  • n Two out of ten members of the Global Leadership Team are women

  • n At 30 June 2012, 32 per cent of our employees were women

  • n In July 2012, after re-baselining our data to include the acquired Australian Infrastructure businesses, 15 per cent of senior executive positions were held by women. At that time we set a target that by 30 June 2014, 17 per cent of senior executive positions will be held by women

  • n At the half way point in this period we have already achieved our target.

The Board assesses on at least an annual basis, the measurable objectives and the progress in achieving them. To encourage greater representation of women at senior levels, Lend Lease continues to develop initiatives targeting an improvement in gender diversity including refinement in recruitment processes, expansion in career and leadership development and mentoring.

6.2 Diversity and Inclusion Policy

The Lend Lease Diversity and Inclusion Policy was approved by the Board in April 2011. A copy of this Policy is available on the website. The Board fully supports Diversity and Inclusion and has a key role driving Lend Lease’s Diversity and Inclusion agenda. The Personnel & Organisation Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s diversity strategy and its progress towards achieving the Group’s measurable objectives.

The Board plays an active role in Lend Lease’s Diversity & Talent agenda and since 2011 has hosted regular networking forums with groups of high potential and diverse employees. These are regularly conducted in each region and are a key part of the strategy in developing and retaining our pool of diverse talent. The forums involve presentations and Q&A sessions from high potential and diverse employees, roundtable sessions and formal networking dinners.

6.3 Diversity Governance

Each region has a diversity council chaired by the regional Chief Executive Officer, a senior business leader or a diversity manager. Diversity councils are steering committees that facilitate a diverse, collaborative and inclusive culture. They provide the opportunity for discussion on ways to increase diversity and achieve best practice in terms of diversity policies. The diversity councils also oversee the activities of regionally based employee resource groups that represent and engage with employees directly on diversity related matters. Representatives from our employee resource groups sit on our diversity councils, together with a small number of human resource and senior management representatives. Employee Resource Groups have been set up to represent a wide range of diversity types such as age, all abilities, cultural, workplace flexibility, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI), and gender.

6.4 Employee Engagement

A priority at Lend Lease is to make the employee experience positive and productive, for individuals and the company. Lend Lease conducts a full employee survey biennially and a survey was completed in September 2013. During the past year, Lend Lease has continued to act on the results of our 2011 employee survey. Earlier this year a series of focus groups were conducted around the world to gather more detailed feedback on specific areas of employee engagement and leadership performance. The outputs from these sessions provided direct input to our global conference in March 2013 – the focus of which was Leadership.

Key line of business highlights include:

n development profit after tax increased by A$237.1 million to A$403.2 million, primarily due to earnings relating to the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South, the sale of the Group’s interest in Jem[®] , and divestment of Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited;

  • n Construction profit after tax decreased by A$91.9 million to A$192.8 million, primarily due to the tightening of the Australian, Asian and UK construction markets and impacts of project underperformance in Australia and the UK;

  • n Investment Management profit after tax decreased by A$86.3 million to A$71.9 million, due to the prior year including profit from the sale of Asia Pacific Investment Company No. 2 Limited and the New Zealand Retail Portfolio;

  • n Infrastructure development profit after tax increased by A$39.5 million to A$104.5 million, primarily due to fees earned from the financial close of four infrastructure development projects – Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison, New Bendigo Hospital in Australia and the Privatized Army Lodging (PAL) Group C project in the US;

  • n Corporate costs after tax increased by A$52.6 million to A$219.4 million due to the impact of one-off costs relating to the restructure of the Australia business, the transformation program and the Abigroup investigation.

The key components of the financial position are as follows:

  • n A strong liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents of A$1,538.4 million (June 2012: A$957.9 million) and undrawn committed bank facilities of A$1,099.4 million (June 2012: A$1,242.5 million);

  • n Inventories have increased by A$72.5 million to A$2,891.0 million, largely due to an increase in work in progress in Development Australia and UK;

  • n Bluewater is held as inventory, and therefore measured in the financial statements at cost, which at 30 June 2013 was A$444.2 million (June 2012: A$433.6 million). The market value of 100% of Bluewater at 30 June 2013 increased by 8% to £1,830.0 million (A$3,000.0 million). The market value of the Group’s 30% direct interest in Australian dollars increased by 16% to A$900.0 million;

  • n equity accounted investments increased by A$115.3 million to A$585.5 million, largely attributable to an increase in joint venture investments, with the award and financial close of Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison and New Bendigo Hospital during the year. In addition, during the year the Lend Lease International Towers Sydney Trust was launched with funding for the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South. These increases have been partially offset by the sale of the Group’s 25% interest in Jem[®] ;

  • n Investment properties have increased by A$608.8 million to A$4,023.8 million, primarily due to the acquisition of four retirement villages and capital expenditure and revaluations on senior living and other development properties. These increases were offset by the sale of the Aged Care business and one retirement village;

  • n other financial assets have increased by A$140.0 million to A$550.9 million, primarily due to the A$71.7 million promissory note received on the sale of the Aged Care business and a fair value gain on the Group’s 10.1% investment in ARIF 3, which owns 75% of Jem[®] which is recognised in the fair value revaluation reserve and reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income rather than the Income Statement;

  • n Current borrowings reduced as the Group repaid US$100.0 million of the US Private Placement during October 2012;

  • n non current borrowings increased by A$719.1 million, mainly due to the Group’s issuance of S$275.0 million Singapore dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes, maturing in July 2017 and A$375.0 million Australian medium term notes maturing in November 2018 and May 2020;

  • n other financial liabilities remain materially unchanged. They include lease liabilities in relation to Construction Australia’s infrastructure business and the Bluewater finance leases; and,

  • n other liabilities have increased by A$478.7 million to A$7,634.9 million, primarily due to an increase in senior living resident liabilities arising from the acquisition of four retirement villages, partially offset by the reduction in resident liabilities following the sale of the Aged Care business.

Cash Flow

The Group had a net cash inflow in the year of A$580.5 million. The Group considers cash flows from operations to include the cash flow from business operations and any activity associated with these operations; this is aligned to the Group’s definition of operating profit. As such, the underlying cash flows from the Group’s operating businesses were A$472.7 million during the year. This includes a reclassification of cash flows from investing to operating of A$377.8 million which include the divestment of the Group’s interest in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited (A$156.5 million) and Jem[®] (A$188.7 million), net cash inflow from Australia Development projects (A$96.3 million) and net cash outflow of A$3.6 million from Construction joint ventures.

Outlined in the table below are cash flows in accordance with accounting standards and as reported in the Group’s financial statements for the year.

total cash fows 580.5 (88.3)

The key components of the net cash inflow include:

  • n operating cash inflows of A$94.9 million are largely due to net Construction inflows, offset by net development expenditure in Australia and UK;

  • n Investing cash inflows of A$151.6 million include the proceeds from the sale of the Group’s interest in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited and Jem[®] offset by the launch of Lend Lease International Towers Sydney Trust;

  • n Financing cash inflows of A$302.8 million primarily relate to new debt facilities – A$375.0 million Australian medium term notes and S$275.0 million Singapore bond, partially offset by the US$100.0 million partial repayment of the Group’s US Private Placement and dividends/distributions payments in the year.

  • 1 Includes 100% of joint venture projects and therefore will not necessarily correlate with the Group’s profit after tax.

2 Pre sales do not form part of profit after tax in the current year and are expected to be recognised in future years. Pre sales land lots represent contracts entered into prior to 30 June 2013 that have not met the revenue recognition criteria. Pre sales built-form represents contracts entered into prior to 30 June 2013 for buildings that have not achieved completion. Joint venture sales are shown at 100% of sales value.

  • 3 The number of units settled and pre sales number of units are not relevant measures for the commercial segment above.

  • 4 Backlog – residential includes the total number of units in both Group-owned and joint venture projects. The actual number of units for any particular project can vary as planning applications are approved.

  • 5 The June 2012 zoned backlog residential units have been restated from 70,120 to 69,845, to reflect a revised position on the Ropes Crossing project.

Key trading events in the residential and Commercial sector during the year include:

n residential land lots:

  • Settlements increased by 11%, reflecting improved trading in NSW from Jordan Springs; in Qld from new communities projects, Yarrabilba and Stoneleigh Reserve; and in WA from Alkimos and Coolbellup;

  • Pre sales decreased by 4% from the prior year to 1,312 units;

  • Average price per lot settled decreased by 11%, and pre sold average price decreased by 6% reflecting a change in product mix.

n residential built-form units:

  • Settlements reduced by 67%, due to project completions at Victoria Harbour and Jacksons Landing;

  • Average price per unit settled of A$721,200 reflects the Group’s planned response to change in market demand for smaller, more affordable apartments rather than larger, premium apartments. The prior year average price of A$1,051,000 primarily comprised premium apartments at Jacksons Landing in Sydney and Convesso at Victoria Harbour;

  • Pre sales increased by 30% to 505, due to pre-sales at Richmond, The Green at RNA Showgrounds and Concavo at Victoria Harbour;

  • Average price of pre sales decreased by 3% in response to a change in market demand for smaller, more affordable apartments rather than larger, premium apartments.

n Commercial:

  • Sales of A$627.9 million primarily relate to the funding of the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South, however, there have also been settlements at Victoria Harbour, Jacksons Landing and Varsity Lakes during the year.

n Backlog:

  • Remains largely unchanged as the business focuses on execution and delivery of the existing portfolio;

  • The execution of the project Development Agreement on Waterbank, Perth has added 800 residential built-form units and 20,000 commercial square metres to backlog;

  • The Group executed project Development Agreements in relation to the A$1.5 billion mixed-use site adjacent to the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct project, which is reflected in backlog;

  • Subsequent to 30 June 2013, the Group executed a Development Agreement for Batman’s Hill, Vic redevelopment with an end development value of approximately A$1.5 billion. This project will add to backlog in future years.

Where a project has multiple phases, these have been combined on completion for the purposes of presentation. The 30 June 2012 MD&A disclosed 27 projects, this has now been revised to 22 projects.

  • 3 Backlog revenue disclosed includes 10 years of backlog from facilities management, even though the contracts run for up to 50 years. Although backlog is realised over several years, the average foreign exchange rate for the current year has been applied to the closing backlog balance in its entirety as the average rates for later years cannot be predicted. In local currency, the backlog revenue is US$378.7 million (June 2012: US$358.3 million). Prior year backlog revenue has been restated to include equity returns.

Key trading events in the Infrastructure development business during the year include:

  • n Financial close of the final stage of the Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) Group C project drove an increase in new work secured and backlog revenue ;

  • n Backlog unit reduction is due to the revision of development plans of the Privatization of Army Lodging (PAL) program prior to financial close; and,

  • n The majority of Military Housing projects are approaching stabilisation of operations as the initial development periods come to completion. However, opportunities remain for further development over the remaining term of the ground lease. Performance in each project was in line with expectations for the year.

Key trading elements of the Group Treasury contribution during the year include:

  • n Reduced interest revenue of A$10.3 million is due to lower average cash balances and interest rates compared to the prior year. The interest rate on invested cash averaged 3.5% per annum for the year (June 2012: 3.9%);

  • n Reduced interest expense of A$14.2 million is primarily due to reduced facility costs and gains on mark to market derivatives. The Group’s weighted average cost of debt at 30 June 2013 is 5.7% (June 2012: 6.2%);

  • n The Group hedges material foreign currency cash flows with any foreign exchange gains or losses allocated to the relevant business unit’s operating profit. The cost of these hedges is allocated to Group Treasury. The reduction in hedging costs reflects the decrease in the volume of hedges undertaken during the year together with the impact of changes in interest rates; and,

  • n The Group uses natural hedging, where possible, to minimise its exposure to movement in foreign currency-denominated net assets. The impact of foreign exchange movements on the Group’s net assets is accounted for in the foreign currency translation reserve. In the year, the foreign currency translation reserve decreased by A$34.9 million.

  • 1 New work secured revenue is the total revenue to be earned from projects secured during the year.

  • 2 Backlog revenue is the total revenue to be earned from projects in future financial years, based on projects secured as at 30 June 2013. Although backlog revenue is realised over several years, the average foreign exchange rate for the current year has been applied to the closing backlog revenue balance in its entirety, as the average rates for later years cannot be predicted. In local currency, the Americas backlog revenue was US$5,085.2 million (June 2012: US$4,163.8 million) and the European backlog revenue was £831.0 million (June 2012: £721.9 million).

d. directors’ Meetings

Board Meetings

The Board meets as often as necessary to fulfil its role. Directors are required to allocate sufficient time to the Group to perform their responsibilities effectively, including adequate time to prepare for Board meetings. During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, 15 Board meetings were held. Five of these meetings were held in Australia and one each in the UK, Americas and Asia reflecting the geographic spread of the Lend Lease business. These meetings run over two or three days. Seven meetings were held via teleconference to discuss specific matters. In addition, matters were dealt with as required by circular resolution.

The Board recognises the essential role of Committees in guiding the Company on specific issues. Committees address important corporate issues, calling on senior management and external advisers prior to making a final decision or making a recommendation to the full Board.

There are four permanent Committees of the Board.

Risk Management and Audit Committee

The Risk Management and Audit Committee consists entirely of Non Executive Directors. The principal purpose of the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its corporate governance and oversight responsibilities in relation to the Group’s risk management and internal control systems, accounting policies and practices, internal and external audit functions and financial reporting. During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, five meetings of the Risk Management and Audit Committee were held. In addition, two special Risk Management and Audit Sub Committees were established to deal with specific matters.

Personnel and Organisation Committee

The Personnel and Organisation Committee consists entirely of Non Executive Directors. The Committee’s agenda reflects the importance of human capital to the Group’s strategic and business planning and it assists the Board in establishing appropriate policies for people management and remuneration across the Group. During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, sixteen meetings of the Personnel and Organisation Committee were held. Full details of the Committee’s work on behalf of the Board are set out in the Remuneration Report. This includes the review of the Group’s Executive Reward Strategy conducted by the Committee during the reporting period in response to the concerns raised by securityholders in their comments on the 2012 Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM and expressed in separate discussions with stakeholders.

Sustainability Committee

The Sustainability Committee consists entirely of Non Executive Directors. The Committee assists the Board in monitoring the decisions and actions of management in achieving Lend Lease’s aspiration to be a sustainable organisation. During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, four meetings of the Sustainability Committee were held.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee consists entirely of Non Executive Directors. The Committee assists the Board by considering nominations to the Board to ensure that there is an appropriate mix of expertise, skills and experience on the Board.

Review of Financial Performance

The Group delivered a statutory profit after tax of A$551.6 million, an increase of 10%, with the key components as follows.

In australia , statutory profit after tax increased to A$505.2 million (Operating profit after tax: A$506.6 million[1] ).

  • n The Development business was the main contributor to the increase in profit, primarily due to earnings relating to the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South, partially offset by reduced residential activity in the year.

  • n The Construction business results for the year have been impacted by the tightening of market conditions and the underperformance of some projects in the second half of the financial year.

  • n The Investment Management business prior year results included the sale of the New Zealand Retail Portfolio to Lend Lease Real Estate Partnership New Zealand.

  • n The Infrastructure Development results include fees received following the financial close of Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison and New Bendigo Hospital.

In asia , statutory profit after tax increased to A$112.6 million.

  • n The Development business includes the profit on the sale of the Group’s interest in the Jem[®] retail asset in Singapore.

  • n The Construction business profit after tax has increased by A$2.8 million to A$28.6 million, with the key contributors being finalisation of the Jem[®] project and continued delivery of the telecommunications rollouts across Japan.

  • n The Investment Management prior year result included the partial sell down of the Group’s interest in Asia Pacific Investment Company No. 2 Limited and the investment income prior to its sale, plus the recognition of a deferred profit from the sale of the Group’s 25% direct ownership in PoMo.

In europe , statutory profit after tax increased to A$99.5 million.

  • n The Development business is the main contributor to the Europe current year profit, predominantly due to the profit on the sale of the Group’s interest in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited, which completed in July 2012.

  • n Construction profit after tax decreased by A$36.2 million in the year, primarily due to a reduction in volume across the UK, Spain, Italy and Russia, the underperformance of some projects in the second half of the year and the cost of restructuring the UK business.

  • n Investment Management profit after tax decreased by A$8.9 million due to reduced net investment income following the sale of the Group’s ownership interest in Chelmsford Meadows shopping centre in the prior year, which also included profit on the sale.

  • n The Infrastructure Development business current year result includes profit on the sale of two education PPP assets to the UK Infrastructure Fund, as compared to the prior year, which included the sale of five UK PPP assets to the UK Infrastructure Fund.

In the americas , statutory profit after tax increased to A$53.7 million.

  • n During the current year, the Development business completed and sold its ownership in the Bon Secours St. Francis Watkins Centre in Virginia and commenced construction on three new projects.

  • n Construction profit increased by A$12.3 million due to the continued improvement in the core commercial markets of New York and Chicago and improved profit from the Military Housing Privatization Initiative projects due to realisation of earnings as more projects in the portfolio achieve substantial completion. The prior year was impacted by the New York investigation.

  • n The Investment Management prior year result included profit relating to completion of the sale of the Group’s 50% ownership interest in the King of Prussia shopping mall.

  • n Infrastructure Development profit increased by A$16.6 million mainly due to reaching financial close of the US Department of the Army’s Privatized Army Lodging (PAL) Group C project.

Corporate statutory loss after tax increased to A$219.4 million.

  • n Group Services loss after tax increased to A$152.0 million due to the Group’s restructuring of the Australia business, the transformation program and the Abigroup investigation.

  • n Key trading elements of the Group Treasury contribution during the year include:

  • Reduced interest revenue of A$10.3 million is due to lower average cash balances and interest rates compared to the prior year. The interest rate on invested cash averaged 3.5% per annum for the year (June 2012: 3.9%); and,

  • Reduced interest expense of A$14.2 million is primarily due to reduced facility costs and gains on mark to market derivatives. The Group’s weighted average cost of debt at 30 June 2013 is 5.7% (June 2012: 6.2%).

1 Operating profit excludes net property revaluation losses of A$1.4 million after tax.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 75

Review of Financial Position

The Group remains in a strong position with the key components as follows:

  • n A strong liquidity position, with cash and cash equivalents of A$1,538.4 million (June 2012: A$957.9 million) and undrawn committed bank facilities of A$1,099.4 million (June 2012: A$1,242.5 million);

  • n Inventories have increased by A$72.5 million to A$2,891.0 million, largely due to an increase in work in progress in Development Australia and UK;

  • n Bluewater is held as inventory, and therefore measured in the financial statements at cost, which at 30 June 2013 was A$444.2 million (June 2012: A$433.6 million). The market value of 100% of Bluewater at 30 June 2013 increased by 8% to £1,830.0 million (A$3,000.0 million). The market value of the Group’s 30% direct interest in Australian dollars increased by 16% to A$900.0 million;

  • n equity accounted investments increased by A$115.3 million to A$585.5 million, largely attributable to an increase in joint venture investments, with the award and financial close of Sunshine Coast University Hospital, Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison and New Bendigo Hospital during the year. In addition, during the year the Lend Lease International Towers Sydney Trust was launched with funding for the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South. These increases have been partially offset by the sale of the Group’s 25% interest in Jem[®] ;

  • n Investment properties have increased by A$608.8 million to A$4,023.8 million, primarily due to the acquisition of four retirement villages and capital expenditure and revaluations on senior living and other development properties. These increases were offset by the sale of the Aged Care business and one retirement village;

  • n other financial assets have increased by A$140.0 million to A$550.9 million, primarily due to the A$71.7 million promissory note received on the sale of the Aged Care business and a fair value gain on the Group’s 10.1% investment in ARIF 3, which owns 75% of Jem[®] which is recognised in the fair value revaluation reserve and reflected in the Statement of Comprehensive Income rather than the Income Statement;

  • n Current borrowings reduced as the Group repaid US$100.0 million of the US Private Placement during October 2012;

  • n non current borrowings increased by A$719.1 million, mainly due to the Group’s issuance of S$275.0 million Singapore dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes, maturing in July 2017 and A$375.0 million Australian medium term notes maturing in November 2018 and May 2020;

  • n other financial liabilities remain materially unchanged. They include lease liabilities in relation to Construction Australia’s infrastructure business and the Bluewater finance leases; and,

  • n other liabilities have increased by A$478.7 million to A$7,634.9 million, primarily due to an increase in senior living resident liabilities arising from the acquisition of four retirement villages, partially offset by the reduction in resident liabilities following the sale of the Aged Care business.

Review of Cash Flows

Net cash inflows have increased to A$580.5 million with the key movements as follows:

  • n operating cash inflows of A$94.9 million are largely due to net Construction inflows, offset by net development expenditure in Australia and UK;

  • n Investing cash inflows of A$151.6 million include the proceeds from the sale of the Group’s interest in Greenwich Peninsula Regeneration Limited and Jem[®] offset by the launch of Lend Lease International Towers Sydney Trust; and,

  • n Financing cash inflows of A$302.8 million primarily relate to new debt facilities – A$375.0 million Australian medium term notes and S$275.0 million Singapore bond, partially offset by the US$100.0 million partial repayment of the Group’s US Private Placement and dividends/distributions payments in the year.

c. distributions

The 2012 final distribution of A$126.0 million (22.0 cents per security, nil% franked) referred to in the Directors’ Report dated 30 August 2012 was paid on 28 September 2012.

Details of distributions in respect of the current year are as follows:

d. significant Changes in state of affairs

Following stapled securityholders’ approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to LLT by reducing the Company’s share capital by A$500.3 million and applying that amount as additional capital to LLT. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by securityholders and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

There have been no other significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs.

e. events subsequent to Balance date

Since 30 June 2013, the Group subscribed for units in Australian Prime Property Fund Commercial (‘APPFC’) for a total investment of A$225.0 million.

There were no other material events subsequent to the end of the financial year.

f. Likely developments

Outlook and Prospects

Lend Lease has delivered continued profit growth in a challenging market. Our pipeline of opportunities provides earnings visibility and a platform for a strong growth trajectory over the next three years.

Our global development pipeline with an estimated end value of A$37.4 million underpins our strategic direction of becoming the leading international property and infrastructure group. Within this, projects such as Barangaroo South and the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct in Sydney, Victoria Harbour in Melbourne, Waterbank in Perth and Elephant & Castle in London position the Group well with good visibility of earnings in the near to medium term.

Despite a weakening construction market our backlog revenue of A$17.2 billion[1] remains robust. To further strengthen and grow our construction and infrastructure capabilities, we announced in June the transition of our four separate construction operations of Abigroup, Baulderstone, Project Management & Construction and Infrastructure Services into three sector based businesses focused on building, engineering and services – creating a unified team, working to a common vision and set of core values. This structure was implemented on 1 August 2013, and delivers a more competitive and effective operating business. It strengthens our integrated model, leverages our core capabilities, skills and experience, and differentiates our position in the global property and infrastructure market.

The strength of our balance sheet and access to third party capital means we have the financial capacity to fund our pipeline and invest in other opportunities, in line with our strategy. Balancing a target return on equity over the medium term of 15 per cent, alongside earnings growth, is a core discipline in our allocation of capital.

Despite challenging macro-economic conditions, we believe Lend Lease is well placed for 2014 and beyond. The Group’s result for future financial years remains subject to a number of risk factors including: a weakening construction market, property market risks and property market values, exchange rate fluctuations, development activity risk and investment and asset management activity risk. However, the Group has robust risk management practices in place to be able to deliver sustained long term growth in line with our strategy and manage and mitigate risks that may have an impact on future financial years.

g. environmental regulation

The Group is subject to various state and federal environmental regulations in Australia.

The Directors are not aware of any material non compliance with environmental regulations pertaining to the operations or activities during the period covered by this Report. In addition, the Lend Lease Group is registered and publicly reports the annual performance of its Australian operations under the requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007 and Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) Act 2006.

All Lend Lease businesses continue to operate an integrated Environment, Health and Safety Management System ensuring that non compliance risks and opportunities for environmental improvement are identified, managed and reported accordingly.

Message from the Board

Welcome to the 2013 Remuneration Report where we explain how performance has been linked to reward outcomes at Lend Lease this year, and outline changes being made to remuneration policy going forward.

2013 was another strong performance year as Lend Lease continued to deliver on its ‘Restore, Build, Lead’ strategy to achieve long term sustainable growth for the Group. Revenue was A$12.2 billion up 6% from 2012, Statutory Profit After Tax increased to A$551.6 million up 10% from 2012 and Return on Equity was 13.4%. Funds under management increased by 22% to A$15.0 billion, construction backlog revenue increased 14% to A$17.2 billion and the estimated end value of the development pipeline is worth A$37.4 billion. Lend Lease continued to win major urban regeneration projects with a preferred position on the Sydney International Convention, Exhibition and Entertainment Precinct as well as success on major Public Private Partnership projects including Sunshine Coast University Hospital and the New Bendigo Hospital.

We value highly our continued focus on safety and sustainability. There were no fatalities in our operations, and over 80% of our operations around the world did not experience a critical incident this year. More than 90% of the major projects in our development pipeline have achieved or are targeting green certification.

Central to Lend Lease’s strategy is having the right people to lead the Group over the long term, and a competitive Executive Reward Strategy is a key to outperformance.

Despite strong growth and a solid track record, at the 2012 Annual General Meeting (AGM) we received 25.8% of votes cast against our Remuneration Report. In contrast, in 2011, approximately 90% of securityholders voted in favour of our Remuneration Report. This change in sentiment concerned the Board.

The Executive Reward Strategy was designed in 2010 to support the Group while in the ‘Restore’ phase of the Group’s strategy. There was a necessary focus on short term incentives during that strategic phase. The Board continually considers the Group’s Executive Reward Strategy and during the past year we reviewed the Reward Strategy to determine whether it continued to provide the appropriate motivation now that we are moving towards the ‘Lead’ phase of our strategy, bearing in mind market practice and stakeholder feedback. This comprehensive assessment considered how we set goals, how we measure performance, how performance should be translated into a remuneration package, and what factors should determine the vesting of deferred awards.

As part of this review, we met with more than 30 stakeholders to discuss Lend Lease’s remuneration arrangements. We appreciate the engagement with all stakeholders who have taken the time to share their views.

While there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach for an international property and infrastructure group with diverse business units, there was broad convergence on several issues and changes made to address them have been incorporated into our revised Executive Reward Strategy.

Given that 2013 remuneration packages had already been agreed at the time of the 2012 AGM, it was not possible to make significant changes for 2013. The changes that were made for the 2013 financial year included:

  • n Extending the vesting period for the CEO’s Short Term Incentive (STI) to three years and capping the cash proportion of the CEO’s STI at A$800,000 as an interim measure for 2013, pending the more comprehensive review being undertaken;

  • n Implementing mandatory securityholding levels for the CEO and Senior executives; and,

  • n Introducing malus provisions for the CEO and Senior executives in relation to both deferred STI and Long Term Incentive (LTI) awards.

Following the more comprehensive review, enhancements to be implemented for the 2014 financial year include:

  • n Agreeing a new contract with the CEO which includes a reduction to the CEO’s total target remuneration package with effect from 1 September 2013;

  • n Changing the remuneration mix to place greater emphasis on LTIs;

  • n Deferring a greater proportion of ‘above target’ STI awards for the CEO and Senior executives;

  • n Introducing a second hurdle, Return on Equity (ROE), for LTIs; and,

  • n Strengthening malus provisions for the CEO and Senior executives that may be applied to both deferred STI and LTI awards.

Our formal response to the key issues raised by securityholders and proxy advisers in relation to the 2012 Remuneration Report is set out on page 86 of this report.

After the release of the 2012 Remuneration Report we dealt with certain accounting discrepancies in relation to the recognition of profits and losses on two projects within the Abigroup operations. The Board agreed with the CEO that it was appropriate that there be a 10% reduction in the quantum of the 2012 STI award for the CEO and some Senior executives. These adjustments are reflected in the Statutory Remuneration Disclosure table.

We look forward to your comments on both our remuneration arrangements and the Remuneration Report.

Remuneration Snapshot

The following table sets out a summary of each component of the remuneration package for all Senior executives, including its purpose, how it operates in practice and key changes from last year.

Purpose and link to
Lend Lease strategy
How this operates in
practice
Target and maximum
opportunity
Description of
performance metrics
Changes since 2012
Fixed Remuneration
– Total Package Value
(TPV) or Base Salary
(for Senior executives
outside Australia)
To provide base salary
and benefts which
are competitive with
those provided by
companies of a similar
size and level of
complexity.
To reward
performance relative
to expectations based
on Senior executives’
job descriptions and
scope of responsibility.
Fixed pay is
comprised of base
salary and the
value of retirement
provisions and other
fxed benefts and
allowances.
Fixed remuneration is
set with reference to
the market median
and, in some cases,
such as the case of
complex global roles,
the 75th percentile.
The positioning
depends upon the
specifc nature of the
role, the individual’s
performance
and the overall
remuneration mix.
Fixed remuneration
is reviewed annually
with changes effective
1 September.
Fixed remuneration
is approximately
33% of the target
remuneration mix
for the CEO and
approximately 40%
– 45% of the target
remuneration for
Senior executives.
When setting fxed
remuneration and
considering external
benchmarks the
Personnel and
Organisation (P&O)
Committee takes
into account:
n
Group and
individual
performance;
n
job size and
complexity;
n
individual tenure;
n
risk profle of
the role; and,
n
internal
relativities.
No fxed remuneration
increase was awarded
to the CEO. Senior
executives who were
appointed to new
roles or who were
paid substantially
less than the market
benchmark received
fxed remuneration
increases to refect
market levels. In other
cases, modest fxed
remuneration increases
were awarded.
Short Term Incentive
(STI)
STI awards are
only provided
where executives
perform well against
Key Performance
Indicators (KPIs) in
scorecards. KPIs are
structured as ‘building
blocks’ to achieve
Lend Lease’s short,
medium and long
term strategic and
business goals.
Senior executives are
also assessed against
Lend Lease’s defned
leadership capabilities
(including safety,
sustainability and
diversity), values and
behaviours.
Actual STI awards will
depend upon Group
performance (and
regional performance
for regional
executives) as well as
individual performance
measured against
the scorecards.
The CEO scorecard
for 2013 is set out
on page 84.
STI is based on
‘target opportunities’
which are set using
the remuneration
mix outlined on
page 93 and are
tested against the
relevant market
peers for each
executive role.
Group (and regional)
fnancial performance
determine the pool to
fund STI awards.
Individual awards are
based on individual
performance against a
scorecard of fnancial
and non fnancial
KPIs.
The proportion of
the CEO’s 2013 STI
delivered as cash
was reduced, with
an increase to the
deferred securities
portion. As an interim
measure, the deferral
period was extended
to three years (deferred
securities vesting in
equal portions over
years one, two and
three from the year
of grant).

Changes since 2012
Short Term Incentive
(STI) continued
In this way, the STI
rewards ‘what’ is
achieved as well as
‘how’ it is achieved.
The signifcant portion
delivered as deferred
securities encourages
executives to
deliver sustainable
performance and
aligns the interests
of executives and
securityholders.
At least 50% of the
actual STI award is
retained and deferred
into securities which
vest over a one and
two year period (or
one, two and three
year period for the
CEO in 2013).
The minimum possible
STI outcome is zero
and the maximum
possible STI outcome
for outstanding
Group and individual
performance is 150%
of the CEO and Senior
executive’s target
STI opportunity.
The CEO’s target
and maximum STI
opportunity will be
reduced in 2014,
leading to a reduction
in total target
remuneration.
From 2014 for the CEO
and Senior executives,
any ‘above target’
STI awards will have
increased deferral.
Long Term Incentive
(LTI)
LTI awards are
designed to motivate
Senior executives to
achieve Lend Lease’s
long term strategic
goals and only provide
reward where Lend
Lease delivers better
securityholder value
than its peers.
LTI awards also
align the interests
of executives and
securityholders given
that the value received
is linked to the Lend
Lease security price.
An annual LTI grant
is made to Senior
executives. The award
is determined with
reference to the target
remuneration mix for
the role and the Lend
Lease security price.
For the CEO in
2013, under the
current Executive
Reward Strategy,
the target LTI was
20-30% of the overall
target remuneration
package.
For the Senior
executives in 2013,
target LTI was
about 15-20% of
the overall target
remuneration mix.
LTI will comprise a
greater proportion of
total remuneration in
2014 and beyond.
2013 LTI performance
securities (granted
1 September 2012)
are subject to relative
Total Shareholder
Return (TSR)
performance against
the S&P/ASX 100
companies. 50% can
vest after three years
and 50% can vest
after four years.
From 2014, a second
performance hurdle
is being introduced
– Return on Equity
(ROE).
The CEO’s 2014
LTI grant will be
A$1,750,000 (or 31%
of the total target
remuneration package)
and allocated on a fair
value basis.
The increase in the
CEO’s LTI grant,
combined with the
larger reduction in
the STI opportunity,
will lead to an overall
decrease in the
CEO’s total target
remuneration package.
From 2014, LTI
will form a greater
proportion of the overall
remuneration mix for
Senior executives.
Mandatory
Securityholding
Encourages the CEO
and Senior executives
to take a long term
perspective when
making decisions and
strengthens alignment
with securityholders.
Executives are
required to
accumulate and
maintain a holding of
Lend Lease securities.
50% of vested
deferred STI and
LTI awards granted
from 1 July 2012
will be retained until
the requirement
is achieved.
The CEO and
Senior executives
respectively are
required to hold
150% and 100% of
fxed remuneration
in securities. This
holding is required to
be achieved within
six years.
New for 2013.

Performance and STI Pool

Group PAT is one input into the overall determination of the STI pool. An assessment of overall profit, sustainability of earnings and other financial and non financial factors are also considered. Group PAT was at target during 2013. Following an overall assessment of performance, the Board approved an STI pool slightly below target for 2013.

Ceo scorecard and Board assessment

STI outcomes are based on performance during the year, primarily measured through the use of scorecards. Scorecards for the CEO and Senior executives reflect short, medium and long term goals related to delivering financial returns, the reshaping of the portfolio, setting up the business for future growth, embedding operational excellence and investing in people. The 2013 scorecard is reflective of the Group’s move towards the ‘Lead’ phase of the Lend Lease’s ‘Restore, Build, Lead’ strategy.

The Board has assessed the CEO’s 2013 scorecard and made an overall judgement as to whether the scorecard results fully reflect performance and the management of risk. The result for each category set out below is a holistic assessment of the measures established at the start of the year and the effectiveness of the CEO in addressing unanticipated events.

Following the Board’s assessment, the CEO was allocated an STI award of A$2,850,000 for 2013 which was 88% of the CEO’s target STI award. Refer to the table Remuneration Awarded by the Board on page 90 to see the total remuneration awarded to the CEO for 2013.

dIreCtors’ report

the Ceo’s Contract for 2014

The Board and the CEO have agreed to enter into a new employment contract with effect from 1 September 2013 with no fixed term.

The contract provides for fixed remuneration of A$2,034,000 which includes superannuation and the value of other benefits previously provided such as vehicle lease, parking space and life insurance. Taking into account the stated fringe benefits, this amount is unchanged from the fixed remuneration applicable in 2013. STI and LTI plan participation is at the Board’s discretion. The CEO’s target STI for 2014 has been reduced to A$1,750,000 and target LTI for 2014 increased to A$1,750,000 (with the number of awards determined on a ‘fair value’ basis). This results in a target 2014 remuneration package of A$5,534,000, a reduction of 11% from the current target package (with LTI awards valued in ‘fair value’ terms), with materially less weight on the STI component of the remuneration package.

The following terms have been changed under the new contract:

Payment in lieu of notice From 2014, where the CEO is not employed for the full period of notice, a payment in lieu of notice may be
made. The payment in lieu of notice includes pro rata fxed remuneration and the cash value of statutory
entitlements and benefts. The previous contract included pro rata STI in the payment in lieu of notice, which
would have resulted in a payment in lieu of notice signifcantly in excess of the amount required under the
new contract.
Treatment of incentives on From 2014, the CEO may continue to receive an STI award for the latest fnancial year based on assessment
cessation of employment of his performance by the Board. LTI awards will be treated in accordance with the plan rules at that time.
Deferred STI awards will remain on foot in certain mutuallyagreed termination circumstances.

Response to Concerns Raised in Relation to 2012 Remuneration Arrangements

The following table summarises the concerns raised by securityholders in their comments on the 2012 Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM, as well as the Board’s response. The table also addresses the major concerns expressed in discussions with stakeholders.

were provided.
The Board reviewed the CEO remuneration with input from
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as the remuneration adviser to the Board.
The CEO’s target STI award was
A$3,237,000.
In determining the remuneration for the CEO, the Board considers the scope,
scale and complexity of the role.
The CEO’s target remuneration for 2012
was A$6,569,000 and the actual total
remuneration awarded by the Board including
LTI was A$7,702,000. LTI was allocated
based on the 20 day volume weighted
security price before grant.
The Board also considers peer relativities. However, fnding appropriate peers
for comparison in the Australian market remains challenging. Lend Lease
is one of the only Australian companies that operates in the property and
infrastructure sectors on such a signifcant global scale. There is no single entity
in the Australian market that has a comparable business model that could be
considered a true peer. This makes it diffcult to draw strict peer comparisons on
remuneration among Australian companies.
As part of the Board’s planned review of the CEO’s contract, and in response to
stakeholder feedback, the Board has decided that from 2014, the CEO’s total
target remuneration will be reduced.
For 2014 fxed remuneration will remain unchanged at A$2,034,000. The CEO’s
target STI opportunity will be A$1,750,000 and target LTI opportunity will also be
A$1,750,000 (with the number of LTI awards calculated with reference to the ‘fair
value’ of an award). This represents an 11% decrease on the target remuneration
package from 2012.
Quantum of As noted above, the CEO's target STI Lend Lease rewards above market median for high performance in accordance
STI Award award was A$3,237,000. However, because with the Group’s Executive Reward Strategy guidelines.
for the CEO of ‘above target’ Group and individual
performance, the CEO was awarded a 2012
STI allocation of A$4,370,000.
Despite strong Group performance this year and higher profts, the CEO’s
2013 STI award of A$2,850,000 is lower than in 2012. See CEO scorecard on
page 84.
The Board has also changed the way in which the STI is delivered to the CEO in
2013, with higher amounts of deferral over a longer time frame. Only A$800,000
of the 2013 STI award is delivered in cash, less than half of the cash portion of
the 2012 STI award.
For 2014, the CEO’s target STI opportunity will be reduced both in terms
of quantum and also as a proportion of the overall remuneration mix.
2014 target STI will reduce to A$1,750,000, a decrease of almost 46% from
2013. As a consequence, the potential cash portion of the STI award is
signifcantlyreduced.

with securityholders. dual performance measures with one hurdle being a market based hurdle and
the other being an internal measure.
The ROE target will sit alongside the existing relative TSR target (see page98for
further details).
Vesting will commence once ROE reaches 11% with 25% of the awards vesting,
with full vesting once ROE reaches 15%.
The lower threshold for vesting of 11% was set after considering the Group’s
cost of equity and the ROE of ASX 100 companies in recent years. The Board
considers that if the 11% threshold is exceeded on average over a three or four
year period, then it is appropriate that some proportion of the LTI awards should
vest. The upper threshold for vesting of 15% was set after considering the
Group’s stated ROE target and 10 year historic ROE. The Board considers that if
the ROE target is reached on average over the three or four year period, then all
of the LTI awards should vest.
By having the measure as the average over three and four years, the impact on
vesting of exceptional events affecting one year’s ROE is reduced.
The 15% target would not have been met if tested during the previous 10 years
on either a three year or four year average basis. If achieved, it would mean that
the Group would signifcantly outperform the median of ASX 100 companies in
recent years.
The dual hurdles are intended to motivate our Senior executives to achieve
Lend Lease’s long term strategic goals as we move towards the ‘Lead’ phase
of our strategy.

b. remuneration disclosures

This year, we have shown three presentations of remuneration for our Senior executives to separate remuneration decisions made by the Board in relation to current year performance and remuneration outcomes for prior year performance. The presentations include statutory requirements and are also reflective of the guidelines from the Corporations and Markets Advisory Committee (CAMAC).

  1. Statutory – Remuneration of the CEO and Senior Executives for the Years Ended 30 June 2013 and 2012

  2. The table outlines remuneration prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. It includes fixed remuneration and the cash portion of 2013 STI awarded, as well as the current year amortisation of both current and historic STI and LTI grants.

  3. Awarded – Remuneration Awarded by the Board for the year ended 30 June 2013

  4. The table is presented as it illustrates the amounts the Board awarded in relation to performance in this financial year. Some of these entitlements are ‘at risk’ and deferred until future financial years and subject to future performance.

Five of the current seven Senior executives have been appointed to their roles in the last two years and their remuneration packages reflect their increasing experience and contribution to Group performance. This reflects the Board’s policy to consider each executive’s experience and time in role in positioning their remuneration package.

  1. Actual Received – Actual Remuneration Received in 2013

The table outlines the actual remuneration received by the CEO and by Senior executives during the performance year. This includes both current year remuneration paid and amounts awarded in prior years (2009, 2010 and 2011) which vested in this financial year. There is also a reconciliation between the CEO’s actual remuneration received in 2013 and the statutory remuneration disclosure.

Included in the Appendix is a table which provides a comparison of the information included in each of the three remuneration presentations.

Remuneration Awarded by the Board for the Year Ended 30 June 2013

The remuneration awarded by the Board to the CEO and Senior executives in relation to performance in this financial year ended 30 June 2013 is set out in the table below.

The total STI awarded (cash and deferred securities) reflects the result of the assessment of Group and individual performance from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. The table also shows the STI outcome for each Senior executive as a percentage of both target and maximum STI opportunity.

Deferred securities issued as part of the overall STI award may crystallise after a further one and two years, or in the case of the CEO, one, two and three years. The value of deferred securities will depend on the price of Lend Lease securities at the date of vesting.

The amount actually received as a result of these awards will not be known until September 2016 when the testing of the LTI performance hurdle is completed, the vesting of STI deferred awards is completed and the value of Lend Lease securities is known.

c. our reward strategy and Framework

our executive reward strategy, which consists of a framework and policy that governs how the key senior employees in the organisation are remunerated, supports the achievement of Lend Lease’s strategy

Our Executive Reward Strategy considers the interests of both internal and external stakeholders and aims to drive strong individual and team performance. The reward strategy is implemented through four guiding principles: Simplicity, Responsiveness, Balance, and Governance and Risk Management. There is a focus on aligning rewards and sustainable performance. Accordingly, the strategy requires that a significant portion of an individual’s remuneration be ‘at risk’, and be tied to clear metrics.

The following diagram provides an overview and linkages between Lend Lease’s strategy, the Executive Reward Strategy, Reward Guiding Principles and Remuneration Components.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 93

Setting Remuneration Levels

We benchmark our remuneration mix and levels to ensure we provide market-competitive total rewards for on-target performance, and total rewards above the market median if outstanding performance is achieved

Remuneration is reviewed annually by the P&O Committee with reference to Group and regional performance, an individual’s role, responsibilities, experience and performance as well as comparative market data. Remuneration is also reviewed for new appointments to the Leadership team and if there is a change in role.

In gathering information on market remuneration levels we use a number of sources which include:

  • n data provided by our remuneration adviser, PwC, about remuneration delivered to similar type roles in companies of a similar size. — for Australian-based executives, we refer to companies listed on ASX that are ranked between 26 and 75 by market capitalisation (excluding companies domiciled overseas and property trusts where management is not typically employed by the trust). Consideration is also given to factors such as revenue.

  • for executives in roles with global responsibilities, we have also referred to a peer group of 17 companies listed on ASX that are ranked in the first 75 by market capitalisation and have significant global operations (to reflect the complexity involved in running a group of companies such as Lend Lease with a global footprint).

    • The companies that make up this peer group are BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Woodside Petroleum, Westfield Group, CSL, QBE Insurance Group, AMP, Brambles, Leighton, Orica, Coca Cola Amatil, Amcor, WorleyParsons, Qantas Airways, Sonic Healthcare, Toll Holdings and Boral. This peer group itself is few in number and Lend Lease is one of the smallest in terms of relative size. As a result, the Board has decided to discontinue the use of this peer group from 1 July 2013. The P&O Committee will reflect the global complexity of some of the senior roles by the way in which these roles are positioned relative to the market.
  • n relevant local comparator groups for executives based in other countries;

  • n publicly available data for comparable roles at other peer organisations (including Leighton, Mirvac and Stockland); and,

  • n published remuneration surveys from Mercer, Aon Hewitt, Avdiev, FIRG and others.

There is an emphasis on where we source talent from and where we lose talent to.

The P&O Committee has also identified a number of principles in relation to interpreting peer remuneration for considering individual roles relative to market benchmarks. These principles include:

  • n Understanding individual roles based on organisation size and complexity;

  • n Understanding job size and complexity;

  • n Recognising an individual’s tenure, position and performance;

  • n Differentiating risk profiles between roles when reviewing pay mix; and,

  • n Considering internal relativities.

All of these items are considerations in positioning Senior executive remuneration packages relative to the market.

Fixed remuneration is set with reference to the market median and 75th percentile. The positioning will depend upon the specific nature of the role, the individual’s performance and the overall remuneration mix. The remuneration outcomes for each Senior executive will also take into consideration the target remuneration mix under the Executive Reward Strategy.

Remuneration Mix

the remuneration mix has been specifically designed to align to the execution of Lend Lease’s business strategy

The remuneration framework consists of three different components – fixed remuneration, short term incentives and long term incentives. The relative weighting of each component is referred to as the ‘remuneration mix’.

The Executive Reward Strategy provides for a target remuneration mix which links remuneration outcomes to the execution of business strategy over the short (one year), medium (two to three years) and long (three to four years) term. The target remuneration mix provided in the Executive Reward Strategy for 2013 is shown below.

Motivating performance

The actual remuneration mix varies primarily as a function of how much STI is actually awarded to an executive based on performance.

The increased weighting on STI when performance and outcomes are above target reflects the Board’s objective of motivating executives to execute the business strategy.

The remuneration mix is structured so that a substantial portion of remuneration is delivered as Lend Lease securities. This ensures that the interests of executives are aligned with securityholders. In the case of the CEO in 2013, more than half of his remuneration is delivered as Lend Lease securities over a period of up to four years post grant.

50% of vested securities will be subject to a disposal restriction unless the executive has already met their mandatory holding requirements – as outlined below.

Mandatory Securityholding

The mandatory holding requirement encourages the CEO and Senior executives to take a long term perspective when making decisions and further enhances alignment with securityholders.

From the 2013 financial year, the CEO and other Senior executives must maintain a mandatory holding of Lend Lease securities. Under this guideline, executives are required to accumulate and maintain a holding of Lend Lease securities that is calculated with reference to fixed remuneration. In the case of:

  • n The CEO – the requirement is 150% of TPV.

  • n Senior executives – the requirement is 100% of TPV or 100% of base salary for Senior executives outside of Australia.

These calculated amounts are then converted into a target number of securities.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 95

The mandatory holdings will be accumulated as grants of deferred securities and LTI made from September 2012 begin to vest. To meet this requirement 50% of these vested securities will be subject to a disposal restriction unless the executive has met the mandatory holding requirement. Personally held securities may be counted towards the requirement. It is expected that all executives should achieve the mandatory holding requirement within six years.

Unvested deferred securities and unvested LTI awards do not count toward this mandatory holding.

How Risk Management is Incorporated

The Board has placed a significant focus on incorporating risk management into the reward framework.

Remuneration
component
How risk management is incorporated into the remuneration component How risk management is incorporated into the remuneration component
STI n The total value of STI awards is directly linked to Proft After Tax (‘PAT’) and there are limits on the total incentive pool and
individual STI payments.
n In determining the total incentive pool amount, the Board also considers the overall fnancial health of Lend Lease and the
sustainability of earnings.
n STI outcomes are based on performance and are determined based on a scorecard of fnancial and non fnancial KPIs.
These KPIs are structured as ‘building blocks’ to achieve Lend Lease’s short, medium and long term strategic and
business goals.
n STI outcomes are modifed based upon an assessment of the executive against Lend Lease’s defned leadership
capabilities (including safety, sustainability and diversity), values and behaviours. In this way, the STI rewards ‘what’ is
achieved as well as ‘how’ it is achieved.
n A signifcant portion (at least 50%) of the actual STI award is retained and deferred into securities. In this way, executives
continue to be incentivised to drive performance and are exposed to movements in the Lend Lease security price.
n In 2012, the Board introduced a malus provision. This has been enhanced for 2013 and enables the Board to adjust
downwards the number of deferred securities that vest to an individual in certain circumstances. This provision operates
alongside existing provisions in the deferred securities terms that allow the Board to adjust unvested awards on termination of
employment. In particular:
— if an employee is terminated for fraud or other serious misconduct, unvested deferred securities will lapse; and,
— where an employee is terminated for poor performance, the Board can adjust the number of unvested deferred
securities at the time of termination.
LTI n 50% of the LTI is assessed over a three year period and 50% is assessed over a four year period without retesting.
n As performance for 2013 awards is assessed based on relative TSR (and for 2014 on a combination of relative TSR and
ROE), any adverse fnancial, reputational or other events that could occur over the vesting period should be refected in the
number and value of LTI performance securities that ultimately vest.
n Malus provisions apply to unvested LTI awards from 1 July 2012, with broader discretions applying for awards issued
from July2013.
Mandatory n From 2013, the Board has implemented a mandatory holding of Lend Lease securities that requires the CEO and Senior
securityholding executives to accumulate and maintain a holding of Lend Lease securities. This will encourage the CEO and Senior
executives to take a longtermperspective when makingdecisions and strengthens alignment with securityholders.

STI pool
n
The pool of funds available to reward executives under the STI plan is determined by direct reference to
Group fnancial performance and, where relevant, regional fnancial performance.
n Pool funding levels are set by the Board and correspond to threshold, target and stretch levels of PAT
achievement. In determining the pool of funds available, the Board also considers the overall fnancial health
of Lend Lease and the sustainability of earnings.
n Typically, if proft performance is above target, suffcient funds will be available to pay average awards above
target. Payments to individual executives are capped at 150% of their target STI.
n Conversely, if PAT performance is below target, average STI awards will be below target. The CEO and
Senior executives’ awards will be determined based on their overall performance rating and contribution,
relative to other executives.
stI allocations
Target STI opportunity
n
STI is based on ‘target opportunities’ which are set using the remuneration mix outlined on page 93 and are
tested against the relevant market levels for each executive role.
n The minimum possible STI outcome is zero and the maximum possible STI outcome is 150% of the CEO
and Senior executive’s target STI opportunity. For a Senior executive to earn their maximum STI, outstanding
individual performance must be coupled with above target fnancial performance by the Group and/or
relevant region.
n The CEO and Senior executives receive notifcation of a target STI opportunityannually.
STI key performance
n
STI outcomes are based on performance during the fnancial year, primarily measured through the use of the
indicators CEO and Senior executive scorecards.
n The CEO and Senior executive scorecards consist of measures relating to fnancial performance, people,
strategy formulation and execution, and management and operational excellence. These KPIs are structured
as ‘building blocks’ to achieve Lend Lease’s short, medium and long term strategic and business goals.
The 2013 and 2014 KPIs have been aligned to the move towards the ‘Lead’ phase of the Group’s strategy.
The CEO 2013 scorecard (as approved by the Board) and performance against the scorecard is set out in
summary on page 84. Senior executives are subject to a similar scorecard refecting Group or regional goals
as appropriate.
n Financial measures focus on PAT, fnancial performance, cash fow and capital management. Non fnancial
measures include achievement of strategic and operational excellence objectives as well as the successful
implementation of safety and people leadership goals.
n In order to enhance the performance evaluation process, for 2014 and beyond, there will be explicit
goals established to achieve an outperformance reward on the non fnancial metrics where possible.
Outperformance goals are already established for the fnancial metrics.
n The P&O Committee also assesses each Senior executive against Lend Lease’s defned leadership
capabilities (including safety, sustainability and diversity), values and behaviours. In this way, the STI rewards
‘what’ is achieved as well as ‘how’ it is achieved.
Delivery
n
The actual STI award is delivered as a mix of cash and deferred securities. The signifcant portion (at least
50%) delivered as deferred securities encourages executives to deliver sustainable performance.
n As an interim measure in response to the ‘against’ vote for the 2012 Remuneration Report at the 2012 AGM,
for 2013 for the CEO:
— The frst A$800,000 of the actual STI is paid in cash in September following the performance year.
— The balance of the actual STI is deferred into Lend Lease securities. The deferred securities vest in three
equal instalments one, two and three years after grant.
n For 2013 for Senior executives:
— 50% of the actual STI is paid as cash in September following the performance year.
— 50% of the actual STI is deferred into Lend Lease securities. 50% of the deferred portion (i.e. 25% of the
total award)vests oneyear aftergrant and the remaining50% vests after twoyears.

For deferred securities allocated after 1 July 2012, the Board may reduce the number of deferred securities
that may vest in the case of a material misstatement of the Group’s fnancial accounts.
n For securities allocated after 1 July 2013, enhanced malus provisions apply.
The Board has the discretion to forfeit part or all of any unvested deferred STI awards prior to their vesting
where it transpires that the award(s) would provide a participant with a beneft that was unwarranted,
or inappropriate.
It is anticipated that this will only be exercised in exceptional circumstances, including where the Board,
acting reasonably, determines that:
— There has been a material misstatement in the Group’s consolidated fnancial statements or those of any
company in the Group including any misstatement which may be required to be disclosed to ASX or any
relevant regulator or other authority; or
— The participant has engaged in misconduct, or other dereliction of duty (whether or not that misconduct
or dereliction of duty would warrant summary dismissal) which the Board reasonably considers either
has had, or may have, a serious impact for the Group or the relevant Group entity, whether fnancial,
reputational, operational or otherwise.
The Board will be entitled to consider whether it is appropriate to exercise this discretion in respect of awards
for all participants in a particular plan, in a region, in a business, in a team or for specifed participants only.
In considering the best interests of the Group, the Board would be required to take into account relevant
information including:
— the individual’s level of responsibility, accountability and infuence for the incident or event;
— the quantum of any actual loss or damage;
— whether the Group’s directions, policies or practices have been breached;
— whether any known information at the time of the action or inaction was deliberately withheld; and,
— any other circumstances the Board considers relevant to an assessment of the participant’s conduct and
the seriousness of its impact for the Group.
The Board may also consider retaining the discretion to delay vesting of any unvested deferred STI in the
event it is reviewing whether to exercise such a discretion to reduce or forfeit unvested awards.
The CEO may exercise discretion under this policy in lieu of the Board for participants who are not part of the
GroupLeadershipTeam(GLT). Where such discretion is exercised bythe CEO, the CEO will notifythe Board.
Termination

Malus provisions work alongside the existing provisions in the deferred securities terms that allow the Board
to adjust unvested awards on termination of employment. In particular:
— if an employee is terminated for fraud or other serious misconduct, unvested deferred securities
will lapse; and,
— where an employee is terminated for poor performance, the Board can adjust the number of unvested

From the 2013, mandatory securityholdings for the CEO and other Senior executives will be accumulated as
grants of deferred securities awarded from September 2012 begin to vest.

Senior Executives’ Contracts

Senior executives are typically employed on contracts that have no fixed term. Benefits may include health/life insurance, car allowances, motor vehicle leases and salary.

Termination

Senior executives who commenced employment during 2013 have termination benefits that comply with the limits set by the Corporations Act that do not require securityholder approval. One existing employment contract for a former executive provides for a payment in lieu of notice that is greater than 12 months of fixed pay. This contract was put in place before the changes to the Corporations Act limits for termination benefits without securityholder approval. The contract complied with the relevant limits at the time it was entered into.

Termination clauses are specified in each contract describing treatment on termination based on the reason for termination (e.g. resignation, with notice, due to illness, or immediate termination for cause).

Non Executive directors receive a Board fee and fees for chairing or participating on Board committees. The chairman does not receive extra fees for participating in or chairing committees.

The maximum aggregate remuneration payable to Non Executive directors is A$3.0 million per year, as approved at the 2011 annual general meeting.

Member fee A$ 160,000 Nil 20,000 36,000 20,000

The Board and committee fees are set taking into consideration market data provided from the Board’s independent remuneration adviser. The Board has determined that the complexity of Lend Lease’s global business and the breadth of skills required to enable the directors to adequately represent securityholder interests, means that the market comparators may include ASX 75 companies.

As a global company, all directors are required to travel to Board meetings at Lend Lease locations around the world and it is important that the Board is not limited to only Australian-based directors. Due to the significant additional time commitment fees are paid to compensate directors for the time spent travelling to overseas meetings.

Board and committee fees are paid as cash. Non Executive directors are no longer entitled to retirement benefits. However, some directors have retirement benefits or securities accrued previously.

Two Non Executive directors appointed before 1 January 2001 have also accrued benefits under the previous Retirement Benefit Plan:

  • n Gordon Edington: A$174,240 (30 June 2012: A$168,960); and,

  • n Peter Goldmark: A$166,560 (30 June 2012: A$167,840).

Deferred Securities Awards

In 2013 deferred securities were granted to the CEO and Senior executives based on the value of the 2012 STI award that was deferred (being 50% of the 2012 STI award). Half of the deferred securities awarded will vest after one year and half after two years subject to the CEO and Senior executives continuing in employment to the date of vesting. Deferred securities are held in a trust during the vesting period.

  • 1 Craig van der Laan de Vries ceased as KMP on 31 December 2012 and has not received an award of deferred securities.

2 The fair value for deferred securities issued on 1 September 2011 is the volume weighted average price of Lend Lease securities traded on ASX over the 10 trading days prior to the grant date. All grant prices have been rounded to two decimal places.

  • 3 The fair value at grant date is the value of the deferred STI award as advised to the executive.

4 At vesting, the minimum value is nil and the estimate of the maximum value is the fair value multiplied by the number of securities granted.

5 Robert McNamara, CEO Americas, participated in an additional incentive plan that operated for 2011 and 2012 only, related to the performance of the Americas. The plan was created in order to support the significant turnaround required in the Americas business.

Prior Year LTI Awards

In previous years, the CEO and some Senior executives participated in earlier LTI plans, some of which are still in place.

1 September 2011. If the grant does not fully vest at
1 September 2011, the unvested relative TSR portion of
performance securities may be tested at 1 March 2012 and
3 September 2012. Any unvested EPS portion of performance
securities maybe tested at September 2012.

The relative TSR peer group consists of S&P/ASX 100 Index
companies. The vesting schedule for relative TSR is the same
as for the 2013 LTI Plan,(seepage 98).

Relative TSR
performance
period
Performance is tested three years from the date of grant and
subsequently a further six months and then four years from the
date of grant if required. If any part of the performance hurdle
is achieved at the relevant testing dates, the corresponding
payout will be delivered following the vesting date if
employment conditions are satisfed.
Half the grant is tested at three years and the remaining half
at four years. Any part of the grant that is tested and does not
meet the performance hurdle will lapse. There is no opportunity
to retest.
EPS Targets EPS is calculated as follows: statutory proft/(loss) after tax
adjusted for unrealised carrying value adjustments (but not
excluding unrealised adjustments on the value of inventory
held for sale); write-off of goodwill; movements in the value
of investment properties; and savings implementation costs
and one-off benefts from the UK pension plan; divided
by the weighted average number of ordinary securities
(excluding treasury securities). EPS-tested performance
securities will vest subject to performance against compound
annual growth rate targets set by the Board.
The EPS annual growth target set by the Board for 2012
was 5%.

EPS is based on Statutory EPS, defned as the statutory
proft/(loss) after tax, attributable to members of Lend Lease
Corporation Limited, divided by the weighted average number
of ordinary securities (excluding treasury securities). EPS-tested
performance securities will vest subject to performance against
targets set by the Board.
The Board set both a minimum and a stretch aggregate EPS
target, and a fnal year EPS target for the three year and four
year performance periods.
Aggregate EPS
target
The aggregate target was set at the start
of the performance period, and actual
performance is measured by the sum of
three year and four year EPS performance
compared to the aggregate EPS target.
Final year EPS
target
This is calculated by dividing the aggregate
EPS target over the relevant performance
period by the number of years in the
performance period (i.e. three or four years)
(known as the ‘qualifyingcondition’).

performance
period and
vesting
For vesting to occur, Lend Lease’s compound EPS growth
rate over the test period must be equal to the compounded
annual target rate over that period. The vesting schedule for
EPS is as follows:
Compound EPS growth
Payout
(% of award
to vest)
Less than the compound of target rates
0%
Equal to the compound of target rates
50%
Greater than the compound of target
rates but less than 20% more than the
compound of target rates
Proportion of
EPS grant vesting
increases in
a straight line
between 50%
and 100%
At least 20% more than the compound of
target rates
100%
For vesting to occur, Lend Lease’s actual aggregate EPS
must be equal to or greater than the aggregate EPS target.
Vesting is, however, subject to a qualifying condition. Vesting
will only occur where Lend Lease’s actual EPS in year three (or
four) of the performance period is equal to or greater than the
respective fnal year EPS target.
Subject to meeting the fnal year EPS target at year three or
year four, the table below shows how vesting will occur based
on Lend Lease’s actual EPS performance at the vesting dates.

Participants were advised of the EPS targets at the time the LTI
grant was made in September 2009. The Board has committed
to disclosing the EPS target retrospectively following the end of
the relevant performance period (30 June 2013).
In setting the minimum and stretch aggregate EPS targets,
the Board has taken into account the forecast business plan
performance as well as market expectations to determine
robust but achievable performance targets for the 50% and
100% vestingthresholds of the EPS component of the LTI.
Termination
and forfeiture
The retention component is forfeited if the individual is
not in employment at the frst vesting date (including ‘good
leaver’ reasons).
For ‘good leavers’, the individual may, subject to Board
discretion and in specifed circumstances, receive a pro rata
award for performance securities tested against relative
TSR and EPS performance at the time of termination.
Where an executive is terminated for cause or resigns,
unvested LTI is forfeited.
Unvested LTI grants will be forfeited if an executive enters into
a prohibited pre vesting hedging arrangement in relation to their
LTI awards.
For ‘good leavers’, a pro rata award may be paid after
termination and be subject to the original performance
conditions, unless there are exceptional circumstances
(e.g. death or total and permanent disability) where the Board
may determine and pay the award at the time of termination.
If an executive is terminated for cause or resigns, unvested
LTI is forfeited.
Unvested LTI grants will be forfeited if an executive enters into
a prohibited pre vesting hedging arrangement in relation to their
LTI awards.

1 Early vesting of the award may be available in certain circumstances. The award is forfeited on resignation, but in other cases of termination may be awarded on a pro rata basis.

  • 2 The fair value at grant date represents an actuarial valuation of the award using assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes methodology to produce a Monte-Carlo simulation model in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards rounded to two decimal places.

3 The September 2008 grant had three components, with one-third of the grant being tested against EPS and one-third against TSR (Plan for the year ended June 2009 LTI – A), and the remainder vesting based on achievement of service conditions (Plan for the year ended June 2009 LTI – B). For components tested equally against TSR and EPS (Plan for the year ended June 2009 LTI – A) the weighted average fair value is disclosed. For the June 2009 LTI – A, 2% remained unvested at 1 July 2012 and was tested on 1 September 2012 but did not vest.

4 At vesting, the minimum value is nil and the estimate of the maximum value is the fair value multiplied by the number of securities granted.

5 The September 2009 grant is split into two equal tranches that vest independently after three and four years subject to meeting the performance hurdles.

  • 6 The September 2010, September 2011 and September 2012 grants are split into two equal tranches that vest independently after three and four years subject to meeting the performance hurdles described in section 3d on page 96.

7 As a consequence of Rod Leaver’s appointment to the role of Regional CEO, Asia, grants made under previous business unit specific LTI plans have been replaced by participation in the Group LTI plan and will be subject to the same terms and performance hurdles.

  • 8 Craig van der Laan de Vries ceased as KMP on 31 December 2012.

4. other

a. security options

No security options were issued during the year by the Company or any of its controlled entities, and there are no such options on issue.

b. Indemnification and Insurance of directors and officers

Rule 12 of the Company’s Constitution provides for indemnification in favour of each of the Directors named on pages 67 to 70 of this Report; the officers of the Company or of wholly owned subsidiaries or related entities of the Company (‘Officers’) to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 . Rule 12 does not indemnify a Director, Company Secretary or Officer for any liability involving a lack of good faith.

In conformity with Rule 12 of the Company’s Constitution, the Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each of the Directors named on pages 67 to 70 of this Report. The indemnities operate to the full extent permitted by law and are not subject to a monetary limit. The Company is not aware of any liability having arisen, and no claims have been made, during or since the financial year under the Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access.

For related entities, the indemnification is provided under Rule 12 of the Company’s Constitution unless the Directors determine otherwise. For unrelated entities in which the Group has an interest, deeds of indemnity may be entered into between Lend Lease Corporation Limited and the Director or Officer. Since the date of the last report, the Company has not entered into any separate deeds of indemnity with a Director or officer of an unrelated entity.

No indemnity has been granted to an auditor of the Company in their capacity as auditor of the Company.

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , Rule 12 of the Constitution also permits the Company to purchase and maintain insurance or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance for Officers against any liability incurred as an Officer of the Company or of a related body corporate. This may include a liability for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, and whatever their outcome. Due to confidentiality obligations and undertakings of the policy, no further details in respect of the premium or policy can be disclosed.

c. non audit services

During the year KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.

The Board has considered the other services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided by resolution of the Risk Management and Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those services during the year by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:

  • n All other services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and have been reviewed by the Risk Management and Audit Committee to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and,

  • n The other services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants , as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.

A copy of the Lead Auditors’ Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 , is included at the end of this Report.

Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Company, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and other services provided during the year are set out below.

1 Comparative information for June 2009 reflects the results in Lend Lease Corporation Limited and its controlled entities prior to stapling of the Lend Lease Trust (LLT) in November 2009. Refer to Note 1 ‘Significant Accounting Policies’ of the Consolidated Financial Statements. June 2010 and June 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the impact of aligning the accounting policies of an associate to those of the Group with respect to prior period adoption of AASB Interpretation 12

  • ‘Service Concession Arrangements’ .

  • 2 Operating profit excludes unrealised property investment revaluations of A$2.0 million loss before tax, A$1.4 million loss after tax (June 2012: A$4.8 million loss before tax, A$5.8 million loss after tax).

  • 3 Calculated using the weighted average number of securities on issue including treasury securities. June 2009 has been adjusted by a factor of 1.02 in respect of new securities issued during March and April 2010 via a 5 for 22 single bookbuild accelerated renounceable entitlement offer at A$7.70 per new security.

  • 4 Return on equity is calculated as the annual statutory profit after tax divided by the arithmetic average of beginning, half year and year end securityholders’ equity.

  • 5 Distributions include interim and final distributions. June 2010 also includes the ‘in specie’ dividend of 0.1 cent following the stapling of LLT units to shares in the company in November 2009.

  • 6 Net assets includes Bluewater inventory at market value of A$900.0 million (June 2012: A$776.9 million).

  • 7 Since June 2010 ratio includes resident and accommodation bond liabilities recognised following the Primelife acquisition. These are required to be classified as current liabilities as any resident may depart within 12 months. The investment properties, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets to which they relate, however, are required to be classified as non current.

  • 8 The June 2010 ratio is not relevant as the Group was in a net cash position.

  • 9 Net debt and gross borrowings include certain other financial liabilities of A$254.1 million (June 2012: A$256.0 million).

10 Securities held through employee benefit vehicles.

  • 11 The June 2013 dividend of A$109.4 million was declared subsequent to the reporting date.

notes to the ConsoLIdated FInanCIaL stateMents

1. significant accounting policies

Lend Lease Corporation Limited (‘the Company’) is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 comprises the Company and its controlled entities including Lend Lease Trust (‘LLT’) (together referred to as the ‘consolidated entity’ or the ‘Group’). The Group is a for-profit entity and is an international property and infrastructure group. Further information about the Group’s primary activities is included in Note 27 ‘Segment Reporting’.

Shares in the Company and units in LLT are traded as one security under the name of Lend Lease Group on the Australian Securities Exchange (‘ASX’). The Company is deemed to control LLT for accounting purposes and therefore LLT is consolidated into the Group’s financial report. The issued units of LLT, however, are not owned by the Company and are therefore presented separately in the consolidated entity Statement of Financial Position within equity, notwithstanding that the unitholders of LLT are also the shareholders of the Company.

Following stapled securityholders’ approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to LLT by reducing the Company’s share capital by A$500.3 million and applying that amount as additional capital to LLT. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by securityholders and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

The consolidated financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 23 August 2013.

1.1 Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001 . The consolidated financial report of the Group also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRSs’) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board.

1.2 Basis of Preparation

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars and is prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities, which are stated at their fair value: derivative financial instruments, fair value through profit or loss investments, available for sale investments, investment properties, resident liabilities and liabilities for cash settled share based compensation plans. Recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are stated at fair value in respect of the risk that is hedged. Refer to the specific accounting policies in Note 1 for the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Information about critical accounting judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies is set out in Note 1.31.

In accordance with Class Order 98/100, amounts in the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all financial years presented in the consolidated financial statements and by all entities in the consolidated entity, except as explained in Note 1.3 which addresses the impact of new/revised Accounting Standards.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation.

Basis of Consolidation

The Group consolidation comprises all entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

The Group invests in special purpose entities (‘SPEs’) for trading and investment purposes. The SPEs are consolidated if the substance of the relationship with the Group is such that the Group controls the SPE. The Group will also consolidate the SPE if the Group is expected to obtain the majority of the benefits and/or is exposed to the majority of the residual risks of an SPE or its net assets.

Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains or losses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are carried at their cost of acquisition less impairments in the Company’s financial statements. The Company sponsors a number of employee benefit vehicles, including employee security plans. Under AASBs, these vehicles, while not legally controlled, are required to be consolidated for accounting purposes.

External non controlling interests are allocated their share of total comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position, separately from the equity of securityholders.

1.3 Impact of New/Revised Accounting Standards

new and revised accounting standards

From 1 July 2012 the Group has adopted AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income . The change relates only to disclosures and had no impact on consolidated earnings per share or net profit. The changes have been applied retrospectively and require the Group to separately present those items of other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to profit or loss in the future from those that will never be reclassified to profit or loss.

From 1 July 2012 the Group has also adopted AASB 2010-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Deferred Tax: Recovery of Underlying Assets . The changes had no significant impact on the Group’s assessment of deferred taxes.

notes to the ConsoLIdated FInanCIaL stateMents CONTINUED

1. significant accounting policies continued

1.3 Impact of New/Revised Accounting Standards continued

new accounting standards and Interpretations not Yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for the financial year ended 30 June 2013 but are available for early adoption and have not been applied in preparing this report.

The potential effect of these is outlined below:

  • n AASB 9 Financial Instruments , AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9, AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) and AASB 2012-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Mandatory Effective Date of AASB 9 and Transition Disclosures (September 2012).

  • These standards address the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The potential effect of this standard is yet to be determined.

  • n AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements introduces a new definition of control and addresses whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company.

  • n AASB 11 Joint Arrangements establishes principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement.

  • The Group’s assessment of the impact of AASB 10 and AASB 11 indicates that the application of these standards is unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial position and performance.

  • n AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities relates to disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Application of this standard will not affect amounts recognised in the financial statements, however it will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the Group’s investments.

  • n AASB 13 Fair Value Measurements and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 introduce new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements when fair value is permitted by accounting standards. Application of this standard will not affect amounts recognised in the financial statements, however it will impact the type of information disclosed in relation to the fair value hierarchy.

  • n The revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits (June 2011) and AASB 2011-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 119 (September 2011) introduce changes to the accounting for and presentation of pensions and other post-employment benefits. The revised standard eliminates the corridor approach which defers the recognition of actuarial gains and losses attributable to the Group’s defined benefit plans in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The revised standard also requires the net interest expense on fund obligations and interest income on assets to be determined by applying the discount rate used to measure the fund obligations. Previously, the Group determined interest income on fund assets based on the expected long term return for each asset class.

  • Had the revised standard been applied at 30 June 2013, and previously unrecognised cumulative gains and losses had been recognised, total equity would have decreased by A$63.8 million, after tax. The amount recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for current year actuarial gains to 30 June 2013 would have been A$23.2 million, after tax. In addition, the impact to the defined benefit expense on adopting the amendments would decrease profit after tax by A$2.8 million, for the year ended 30 June 2013.

The standards above become mandatory for the June 2014 financial year, with the exception of AASB 9 which will apply to the June 2016 financial year. With the exception of AASB 13, which applies prospectively, the standards are to be applied retrospectively.

1.4 Revenue, Other Income and Profits

revenue from the provision of services

Revenue from the provision of services is recognised in the Income Statement in proportion to the stage of completion of the transactions at the balance sheet date.

For property construction: the value of work performed using the percentage complete method, which is measured by reference to costs incurred to date as a percentage of total forecast costs for each contract.

For property and funds management: property development and management fee entitlements for services rendered.

For aged care and retirement living:

  • n Deferred Management Fees (‘DMF’):

  • A typical DMF contract provides for an annual retainer for a fixed period (e.g. 3% per annum of purchase or resale price for a period up to 12 years, or 36% in total) plus a share of the capital gain realised on turnover.

  • For both owned retirement villages (investment property) and managed retirement villages, DMF income is recognised on an annual accrual basis based upon the expected term of the resident’s licence and estimates of capital growth since the resident first occupied the unit.

  • n Aged Care Revenue:

  • Aged Care revenue comprises daily resident living contributions, retention fees and government funding, which are all determined in accordance with Federal Government authorised rates.

  • This revenue is recognised as the services are provided. The Group is entitled to charge an annual retention fee to hostel residents. These annual fees are regulated by the Federal Government and are paid by a resident on departure. These fees are accrued during the resident’s period of occupancy.

revenue and profits from the sale of development properties Revenue and profits from the sale of development properties are recognised in the Income Statement when:

  • n The significant risks and rewards have been transferred to the buyer;

  • n The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the development properties sold;

  • n The revenue can be measured reliably and it is highly probable that the Group will receive the consideration due; and,

  • n The Group can reliably measure the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction.

rental revenue

Rental revenue is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more appropriate. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 125

dividends/distributions

Dividend/distribution income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, usually on declaration of the dividend/distribution.

In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from the Australian wholly owned subsidiaries of the Australian Tax Consolidated Group.

net Gains or Losses on sale of Investments

Net gains or losses on sale of investments are recognised when an unconditional contract is in place.

Finance revenue

Finance revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a financial asset is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income.

1.5 Income Taxes

Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in each jurisdiction, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.

Deferred tax is calculated using the balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

The following temporary differences are not provided for: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they are not likely to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different tax entities, but are intended to be settled on a net basis or to be realised simultaneously.

tax Consolidation

The Company is the head entity of the Australian Tax Consolidated Group comprising all the Australian wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company entered into the Australian Tax Consolidation Regime effective 1 July 2002. As a consequence, all members of the Australian Tax Consolidation Group are taxed as a single entity.

The Company and its Australian wholly owned subsidiaries account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These amounts are measured using a modified standalone taxpayer approach.

Members of the Australian Tax Consolidated Group have entered into a tax sharing/funding arrangement that requires wholly owned Australian subsidiaries to make contributions to the Company for tax liabilities and deferred tax balances arising from external transactions occurring after the implementation of tax consolidation. The contributions are broadly calculated as if each entity paid tax on a modified standalone basis.

The contributions are payable as set out in the agreement and reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligations to make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax authority. The assets and liabilities arising under the Australian tax sharing/funding arrangement are recognised as intercompany assets and liabilities (on demand) with a consequential adjustment to income tax expense/revenue.

1.6 Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, subject to impairment tests are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. For goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, the recoverable amount is estimated annually. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement unless an asset has been previously revalued through reserves.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (or group of units) and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (or group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of the Group’s investments in held to maturity securities and receivables is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate inherent in the asset. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial (see Note 1.11 ‘Trade and Other Receivables’).

The recoverable amount of other assets is the greater of their fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the assets. For assets that do not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which each asset belongs.

reversals of Impairment

An impairment loss in respect of a held to maturity security or receivable is reversed if a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, an impairment loss is reversed when there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.

An impairment loss (other than goodwill) is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

1.7 Investments

The Group classifies its investments in debt and equity securities in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held to maturity investments, and available for sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.

Financial assets at Fair Value through profit or Loss

This category has two subcategories: financial assets held for trading, and financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term (held for trading) or if so designated by the Group either to eliminate a measurement or recognition inconsistency, or where a group of financial assets is managed, and its performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis in line with the Group’s documented risk management or investment strategy (at inception). Derivatives are also categorised as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realised within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are included in non current assets.

held to Maturity Investments

Held to maturity investments are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.

available for sale Financial assets

Available for sale financial assets are non derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any other category. They are included in non current assets unless the Group intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

recognition and Measurement Criteria

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables and held to maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Realised and unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ category are included in the Income Statement in the financial year in which they arise.

Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of non monetary securities classified as available for sale are recognised in equity. When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments are included in the Income Statement as gains or losses from investment securities.

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, and discounted cash flow analysis.

Refer to Note 29e ‘Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities’ for a summary of the basis of valuation of investments measured at fair value.

At each balance sheet date the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is considered in determining whether the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the Income Statement. Impairment losses recognised in the Income Statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the Income Statement but are recognised through other comprehensive income.

1.8 Investment Properties

Investment properties are measured at cost, including transaction costs, on initial recognition and then stated at fair value. The fair value for all properties, except those under development and valued at less than A$10.0 million, is based on periodic, but at least triennial, valuations by qualified external independent valuers. It is the policy of the Group to review the fair value of each property every six months.

Fair value is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location and condition. If this information is not available, the Group uses alternative calculation methods such as discounted cash flow projections, recent prices on less active markets or capitalised income projections. Capitalised income projections are based on perpetuity of net operating income and deferred management fees using a capitalisation rate derived from market evidence. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the Income Statement. Rental revenue and deferred management fees from investment properties are accounted for as described in Note 1.4 ‘Revenue, Other Income and Profits’.

Retirement living investment properties, principally comprising retirement villages (both operating villages and villages under development) are held for long term income yields and are not occupied by the Group. The Group makes a determination, on a property by property basis, as to whether a property should be considered an investment property. Factors taken into account include whether the property generates property related cash flows largely independent of other services provided to residents of the properties; whether the property is held for long term capital appreciation rather than for short term sale in the ordinary course of business; and the probable future use of land that is not currently generating cash flows.

When an item of owner occupied property, plant and equipment (see Note 1.14 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’) becomes an investment property following a change in its use, any difference arising at the date of transfer between the carrying amount of the item and its fair value is recognised directly in equity if it is a gain. Upon disposal of the item, the gain is transferred to retained earnings. Any loss is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 127

When an item of self constructed property, plant and equipment becomes an investment property following a change in its use, any difference between the fair value of the property at that date and its previous carrying amount is recognised in the Income Statement.

Expenses capitalised to properties may include the cost of acquisition, additions, refurbishments, redevelopments, borrowing costs and certain fees incurred.

1.9 Equity Accounted Investments (Associates and Joint Venture Entities)

Investments in associates and joint venture entities are accounted for using the equity method. Associates (including partnerships) are entities in which the Group, as a result of its voting rights, has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over financial and operating policies.

A joint venture entity is an entity which has a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity which is subject to joint control.

The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognised gains or losses of associates and joint venture entities on an equity accounted basis.

For associates, this is from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases, and for joint venture entities, this is from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases. Other movements in associates’ and joint venture entities’ reserves are recognised directly in the Group’s consolidated reserves. Investments in associates and joint venture entities are carried at the lower of the equity accounted carrying amount and the recoverable amount. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the equity accounted investment (including assets that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture entity), the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has recourse to obligations in respect of the associate or joint venture entity. Dividends from associates and joint venture entities represent a return on the Group’s investment and as such are applied as a reduction to the carrying value of the investment. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investments are eliminated against the investment in the associate or joint venture entity to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Venture Capital exemption

Investments held by a subsidiary of the Group that is deemed to be a Venture Capital organisation are carried at fair value even though the Group may have significant influence or joint control over those entities.

1.10 Non Current Assets Held For Sale

Non current assets that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use, are classified as held for sale. Immediately before classification as held for sale, the assets are remeasured in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Thereafter the assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.

1.11 Trade and Other Receivables

trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Cash flows relating to short term receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial.

A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value, which is estimated as the present value of estimated future cashflows, discounted at the effective interest rate where relevant. The amount of the provision is recognised in the Income Statement.

deferred Management Fees receivable

Deferred management fees (‘DMF’) receivable represent amounts owed to the Group in connection with resident occupancy at retirement villages subject to long-term management agreements. DMF receivable is calculated in accordance with resident contracts, refer to Note 1.4 ‘Revenue, Other Income and Profits’.

DMF receivable is classified differently on the Statement of Financial Position, between owned and managed retirement villages.

For owned retirement villages, the DMF receivable is offset against the resident liabilities balance in current liabilities as they are net settled in the same future transaction.

In relation to leased and managed retirement villages, the DMF receivable is recognised as a receivable split between current and non current assets based on the expected rate of resident turnover.

1.12 Pre Contract and Project Bidding Costs

The Group expenses all pre contract and project bidding costs, unless there is a high degree of certainty that a contract will be entered into (at least preferred bidder status) and that the costs will be fully recoverable from contract revenues. Costs previously expensed are not subsequently reinstated when a contract award is achieved.

1.13 Inventories

property held for sale

This accounting is permitted by AASB 128 Investments in Associates and AASB 131 Interests in Joint Ventures which require investments held by venture capital organisations to be excluded from their scope when those investments are designated as at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ from inception.

The investments made by the Venture Capital organisation are considered to be venture capital in nature due to management of the investments on a portfolio basis and are unrelated to the Group’s key business activities. The application of this exemption is assessed on each investment made by the Venture Capital organisation. Refer to Note 1.7 ‘Investments’ for an analysis of recognition and measurement criteria of investments classified and measured at ‘fair value through profit or loss’.

Property acquired for development and sale in the ordinary course of business is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. The cost of property held for sale includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition, including borrowing costs incurred. Property expected to be sold within 12 months from the end of the financial year is classified as current inventory.

The recoverable amount of each holding is assessed at each balance date and a provision for diminution in value is raised where cost (including costs to complete) exceeds net realisable value. In determining the recoverable amount, regard is given to the market conditions affecting each property and the underlying strategy for selling the property.

1.13 Inventories continued

Construction and development Work in progress

The gross amount of construction and development work in progress consists of costs attributable to work performed, together with emerging profit and after providing for any foreseeable losses.

Work in progress is presented as part of inventories for all contracts in which costs incurred plus recognised profits exceed progress billings. If progress billings and recognised losses exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits, then the difference is presented in trade and other payables.

1.14 Property, Plant and Equipment

owned assets

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 1.6 ‘Impairment’). The cost of self constructed assets includes the cost of materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of production overheads.

Where an item of property, plant and equipment comprises components having different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods applied to assets are reassessed at least annually.

Leased assets

Leases in which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Plant and equipment acquired by way of finance lease is stated at an amount equal to the lower of the fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses (see Note 1.6 ‘Impairment’). Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases.

subsequent expenditure

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Income Statement during the financial year in which they are incurred.

depreciation

Depreciation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equipment, and major components that are accounted for separately. Amortisation is provided on leasehold improvements over the remaining term of the lease. Most plant is depreciated over a period not exceeding 20 years, furniture and fittings over three – 15 years, motor vehicles over four – eight years and computer equipment over three years. Land is not depreciated.

1.15 IT Software Systems

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three – five years).

Costs associated with developing or maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs directly associated with producing identifiable and unique software products that will generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets.

Direct costs include software development, employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three – five years).

1.16 Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets as goodwill. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in the carrying value of investments in associates.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (or groups of cash generating units) that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combinations, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units or groups of units.

approved provider aged Care places (Bed Licences)

Bed licences held by the Group include owned and managed bed licences. Both owned and managed bed licences were disposed of during the year.

Management agreements and other Intangible assets

Management agreements and other intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see Note 1.6 ‘Impairment’). Amortisation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, ranging from three to 20 years.

The recoverable amount of management agreements and other intangible assets is assessed at least annually using independent valuations or alternative calculation methods, such as discounted cash flow projections.

1.17 Employee Benefits

superannuation/pension obligations

Group companies operate various superannuation and pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee-administered funds, determined by periodic actuarial calculations.

The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines the amount of pension benefit an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 129

The asset recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at least annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality corporate or government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.

In calculating the consolidated entity’s obligation in respect of a plan, to the extent that any cumulative unrecognised actuarial gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets, that portion is recognised in the Income Statement over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees participating in the plan. Otherwise, the actuarial gain or loss is not recognised in the Income Statement, it is recognised in the Statement of Financial Position against the defined benefit plan asset or liability.

Past service costs are recognised immediately in the Income Statement, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, past service costs are amortised on a straight line basis over the vesting period.

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered superannuation/pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

Current employee entitlements

The provisions for employee entitlements to wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided up to the balance date, calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration, wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at each balance sheet date, including related on-costs. Non accumulating non monetary benefits, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the consolidated entity as the benefits are taken by the employees.

non Current employee entitlements

The provision for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance sheet date. Consideration is given to expected future increases in wage and salary rates, including related on-costs and expected settlement dates based on turnover history.

share Based Compensation

The Group operates cash settled and equity settled share based compensation plans that are referable to Lend Lease’s security price. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant is recognised as an expense and a corresponding liability (if cash settled) or a corresponding increase in equity (if equity settled).

The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the services granted. At each balance sheet date, the entity revises its estimates of the entitlement due. It recognises the impact of revision of original estimates, if any, in the Income Statement, and a corresponding adjustment to a liability (in the case of cash settled) or equity (in the case of equity settled) over the remaining vesting period. Changes in entitlement for equity settled plans are not recognised if they fail to vest due to market conditions not being met.

termination Benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance sheet date are discounted to present value.

profit sharing and Bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit sharing. These amounts are calculated using undiscounted values and are based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Group’s securityholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a provision when contractually obliged or when there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

1.18 Trade and Other Payables

trade Creditors

Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group. Trade accounts payable are normally settled within 60 days. Trade and other payables are stated at amortised cost or cost when the impact of discounting would be immaterial.

Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless there is an unconditional contractual right for the Group to defer payment for at least 12 months from the reporting date.

Insurance Claims

A liability for outstanding claims is recognised in respect of Lend Lease’s wholly owned special purpose captive insurance subsidiaries. The liability covers claims incurred but not yet paid, claims incurred but not reported and the anticipated direct and indirect costs of settling those claims.

The liability for outstanding claims is measured at the present value of the expected future payments, reflecting the fact that all the claims do not have to be paid out in the immediate future. The discount rates used are risk free rates.

Financial Guarantee Contracts

Financial guarantee contracts, including the Company guarantees of Group entities’ borrowings, are recognised when issued as a financial liability. The liability is measured initially at fair value and subsequently at the higher of the best estimate to settle the obligation (see Note 1.23 ‘Provisions’) and the initial fair value less accumulated amortisation. Fair value is determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow approach.

1. significant accounting policies continued

1.19 Resident and Accommodation Bond Liabilities

resident Liabilities

This represents an amount paid by residents to occupy apartments and units classified as investment property. Resident liabilities are measured at face value, representing the principal amount plus the resident’s share of capital gains based on market values of the underlying property at balance date, less deferred management fees earned to date.

Resident liabilities are non interest bearing and are classified as current liabilities because any resident may depart within 12 months, and there is no unconditional contractual right to defer settlement, notwithstanding that history has shown that residents stay for an average period of 11 years in independent living units (‘ILUs’) and six years in serviced apartments (‘SAs’).

accommodation Bonds

Accommodation bonds are paid typically by residents of low care aged care beds. Accommodation bonds were disposed of during the year.

1.20 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost and any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.

1.21 Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

transactions and Balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Income Statement, except for qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges in foreign operations that are recognised in other comprehensive income.

Translation differences on non monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Translation differences on non monetary items, such as investments classified as available for sale financial assets, are included in the fair value revaluation reserve in equity.

Group entities

The results and Statement of Financial Position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency (A$) are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • n Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that Statement of Financial Position;

  • n Income and expenses for each Income Statement are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and,

  • n All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is sold, such exchange differences are recognised in the Income Statement as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from operating, financing and investing activities. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value. Recognition of any resultant gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged (refer to Note 1.22’ Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities’).

The fair value of forward exchange contracts is their value at the current quoted forward price at the balance sheet date.

1.22 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Fair Value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in the Income Statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

Cash Flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled to the Income Statement when the hedged item will affect profit or loss (for instance, when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non financial asset (for example, inventory) or a liability, the gains or losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.

annual report 2013 Lend Lease 131

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the Income Statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the Income Statement.

The fair value of interest rate derivatives is the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties.

net Investment hedge

Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognised in equity; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Income Statement. Gains or losses accumulated in equity are included in the Income Statement on disposal of the foreign operation.

held for trading derivatives

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting or hedge accounting treatment is not sought. These instruments are classed as held for trading and changes in their fair value are recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

1.23 Provisions

A provision is recognised on the Statement of Financial Position when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

A provision for restructuring is recognised when the Group has approved a detailed and formal restructuring plan, and the restructuring has either commenced or has been announced publicly. Future operating costs are not provided for.

A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived from a contract by the Group are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract.

1.24 Finance Costs

Finance costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings, amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with arrangement of new borrowings facilities and foreign exchange differences net of hedged amounts on borrowings.

Ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings.

Finance costs are expensed immediately as incurred unless they relate to acquisition and development of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that take more than six months to prepare for their intended use or sale. Finance costs related to qualifying assets are capitalised.

1.25 Earnings Per Share/Stapled Security (EPS/EPSS)

The Group presents basic and diluted EPS/EPSS in the Income Statement.

Basic EPS/EPSS is determined by dividing profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to members of the Company and Group, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares/securities, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares/securities outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares/securities issued during the financial year.

Diluted EPS/EPSS is determined by adjusting the profit/(loss) after tax attributable to members of the Company and Group, and the weighted average number of ordinary shares/securities outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares/securities.

The issued units of LLT are presented separately within equity, and therefore the profit attributable to LLT is excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per Company share presented in the Income Statement.

1.26 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts and other short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Bank overdrafts (if applicable) are shown as a current liability on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown as a reduction to the cash balance in the Statement of Cash Flows.

1.27 Issued Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a deduction from equity.

When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognised as a change in equity.

Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are recognised as a deduction from equity.

Dividends/distributions are recognised as a liability in the financial year in which they are declared.

1.28 Goods and Services Tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (‘GST’), except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Australian Taxation Office (‘ATO’) is included as a current asset or liability in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

1.29 Service Concession Arrangements (SCAs)

The Group has investments providing SCAs, originating through public private partnerships (PPP), in the areas of healthcare, education and government facilities. These arrangements provide facilities management and maintenance services for a fixed payment per annum (subject to inflationary increases per year) with terms generally of 25 to 30 years. They also incorporate contractual obligations to make available the individual assets for their prescribed use and, where necessary, overhaul or replace major items of plant and equipment related to the assets with payment obtained through periodic draw-downs from the relevant government authorities.

The Group equity accounts its investment in project companies with SCAs. In the project company holding the SCA, the consideration receivable in respect of construction and services in the operational phase of the SCA is accounted for as a ‘loan or receivable’ and measured at amortised cost. Revenue arising from services provided will be recognised based on the fair value of each service provided. Borrowing costs and lifecycle costs are expensed as incurred.

1.30 Accounting Estimates and Judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates and judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

defined Benefit superannuation Fund obligations

Various actuarial assumptions are utilised in determining the Group’s defined benefit superannuation/pension fund obligations. These assumptions are discussed in Note 17a vii and b vii ‘Principal Actuarial Assumptions’.

share Based Compensation

The Group assesses the fair value of its cash settled and equity settled share based compensation plans. The fair value assigned represents an estimate of the value of the award to employees, which requires judgements on Lend Lease’s security price and whether vesting conditions will be satisfied. Refer to Note 1.17 ‘Employee Benefits’ for the accounting policy for share based compensation.

Critical accounting Judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Group makes various judgements, apart from those involving estimations, that can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements. These include:

  • n When all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of development properties are substantially transferred to the purchaser;

  • n The percentage of completion on construction work performed; and,

  • n Whether the substance of the relationship between the Group and a special purpose entity indicates that the special purpose entity should be consolidated by the Group.

1.31 Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty

Impairment of Goodwill and other Intangible assets

Note 16a ‘Goodwill’ contains information about the assumptions and their risk factors relating to goodwill impairment testing.

The Group assesses whether goodwill is impaired at least annually in accordance with Note 1.6 ‘Impairment’. These calculations involve an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units to which the goodwill is allocated.

The recoverable amount of other intangible assets (including management agreements) are assessed annually in accordance with Note 1.16 ‘Intangible Assets’.

Valuation of assets and recoverable amounts

The Group assesses the fair value of certain assets by using estimation techniques where there is no available market price. The Group assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of assets held at cost or amortised cost using estimations of their recoverable amount. For current and deferred tax assets refer to Note 1.5 ‘Income Taxes’. For investment properties, loans and receivables and inventories refer to Note 1.8 ‘Investment Properties’, 1.11 ‘Trade and Other Receivables’ and 1.13 ‘Inventories’. Refer to Note 29e ‘Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities’ for a summary of the basis of valuation of financial assets measured at fair value.

Dividend Franking

The amount of franking credits available for use in subsequent reporting periods as at 30 June 2013 is A$13.4 million, based on a 30% tax rate (30 June 2012: A$25.4 million). This is calculated after adjusting for franking credits which will arise from the payment of income tax provided in the financial statements and tax losses utilised in the current financial year. The Group has estimated future claims with the Australian Taxation Office in relation to the year ended 30 June 2013, and prior years, which are not reflected in the above franking account balance. Should these claims be successful, this will result in the franking account balance being reduced as a consequence.

The credit quality of all loans and receivables, including those neither past due nor impaired, is assessed and monitored on an ongoing basis.

To determine the impairment provision for the financial year, the Group considers how economic and market conditions will affect the creditworthiness of certain entities. The impairment provision relates to specific loans and receivables that have been identified as being impaired, including related party loans where the Group’s interest in a development was via an equity accounted investment.

Valuations

Refer to Note 1.8 ‘Investment Properties’ for the basis of valuation of investment properties. The key assumptions used in the fair value assessments, including those classified as assets under construction, have been derived from market evidence and are summarised as follows.

retirement Living properties

For retirement living properties, the key long term assumptions adopted in the basis of valuation at the reporting date included:

  • n Weighted average discount rate of 13.2% (June 2012: 13.2%);

  • n Weighted average future growth rate of 3.9% (June 2012: 3.9%); and,

  • n Average length of stay: 11 years for independent living units (June 2012: 11 years) and six years for serviced apartments (June 2012: six years).

For retirement living properties included in assets under construction, the assumptions adopted in determining the fair values at 30 June 2013 included discount rates between 14% and 17% (June 2012: 14% and 17%) based on the stage of development and the assessed project risk, and a weighted average growth rate of 3.6% (June 2012: 3.6%).

Goodwill Allocation

Goodwill relating to the Construction business is allocated to cash generating units (‘CGUs’) identified according to regions as set out below.

Asia 7.4 7.4
totalgoodwill 1,124.3 1,112.3

Impairment tests and Key assumptions used – Construction

The recoverable amount of the Construction CGUs is determined based on value in use (‘VIU’) calculations. For the Construction CGUs, the assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of each CGU are based on past experience and expectations for the future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and relevant industry trends.

No impairment arose as a result of the review of goodwill for the Construction CGUs for the year ended 30 June 2013. Based on information available and market conditions at 30 June 2013, a reasonably foreseeable change in the assumptions made in this assessment would not result in impairment of Construction goodwill.

The following describes the key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining VIU relating to the Construction CGUs.

Cash Flows

The VIU calculations use pre tax cash flow projections based on actual operating results, and financial forecasts covering a five year period which have been approved by management. These forecasts are based on management estimates to determine income, expenses, capital expenditure and cash flows for each CGU.

Growth rate

The terminal value growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the five year period is 3.0% (June 2012: 3.0%). The growth rate reflects the forecast long term average growth rate for each CGU and the countries in which they operate.

discount rate

The discount rates applied to the cash flow projections vary between 14.0% and 20.0% (June 2012: between 14.5% and 19.5%). The Group’s weighted average cost of capital is used as a starting point for determining the discount rate, with appropriate adjustments for the risk profile relating to the relevant CGUs and the countries in which they operate. The discount rates used are pre tax.

  • 1 The long term rate of return on the pension plan assets is determined by looking at the expected long term return on each asset class based on analysis of historical markets. Assets with higher volatility are assumed to generate higher returns consistent with widely accepted capital market principles. The expected returns are net of investment manager expenses. The overall expected rate of return on assets is derived by weighting the expected rate of return for each asset over the asset allocation for the scheme.

2 Unearned premium and insurance claim reserves relate to Lend Lease’s wholly owned special purpose captive insurance subsidiary. The ‘cost’ of the liability for outstanding claims (insurance claim reserves) is measured as the current estimate of the present value of expected future payments against claims incurred at the reporting date under insurance contracts issued by the special purpose captive insurance subsidiary. These expected future payments are discounted using a risk-free rate.

Retirement village total resident liabilities of A$2,656.8 million (30 June 2012: A$2,250.3 million), which is net of deferred management fees receivable, are repayable out of the amounts paid to the Group by incoming retirement village residents for the right to occupy retirement living and aged care properties (comprising both ILU and SA). The gross value of these retirement living properties, which are classified as non current assets, was A$3,791.1 million at 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012: A$3,211.4 million) (refer Note 13 ‘Investment Properties’). The fair value of retirement living properties was A$1,055.9 million (30 June 2012: A$912.5 million), representing the gross investment property value, less resident liabilities and related deferred revenue.

Issuance of Securities

Following stapled securityholders’ approval on 15 November 2012, the Company has reallocated capital to LLT by reducing the Company’s share capital by A$500.3 million and applying that amount as additional capital to LLT. This capital reallocation did not affect the number of shares on issue nor the number of units held by each securityholder and did not result in any cash distribution to members.

As at 30 June 2013, the Group had 575.5 million stapled securities on issue equivalent to the number of Lend Lease Corporation shares and Lend Lease Trust units on issue as at that date. The issued units of LLT are not owned by the Company and are therefore presented separately in the consolidated Statement of Financial Position within equity.

Security Accumulation Plans

The Group’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (‘DRP’) was reactivated in February 2011. The last date for receipt of an election notice for participation in the DRP is 11 September 2013. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of Lend Lease stapled securities traded (on the Australian Securities Exchange) for the period of seven consecutive business days immediately following the record date for determining entitlements to distribution. If that price is less than 50 cents, the issue price will be 50 cents. Stapled securities issued under the DRP rank equally with all other stapled securities on issue.

Terms and Conditions

Issued capital for Lend Lease Corporation Limited comprises ordinary shares fully paid.

A stapled security represents one share in the Company stapled to one unit in LLT.

Stapled securityholders have the right to receive declared dividends from the Company and distributions from LLT and are entitled to one vote per stapled security at securityholders’ meetings. Ordinary stapled securityholders rank after all creditors in repayment of capital.

The Group does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued stapled securities.

Nature and Purpose of Reserves

a. Fair Value revaluation reserve

Unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value (and foreign exchange rate movements) of non monetary securities classified as available for sale financial assets are recognised in the fair value revaluation reserve. Amounts are recognised in the Income Statement when the associated securities are sold, redeemed or impaired.

b. hedging reserve

The hedging reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments relating to hedged transactions that have not occurred.

c. Foreign Currency translation reserve

The foreign currency translation reserve recognises the foreign currency differences, net of income tax, arising from the translation of foreign operations, the translation of transactions that hedge the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation, or the translation of foreign currency monetary items forming part of the net investment in a foreign operation.

d. non Controlling Interest acquisition reserve

The non controlling interest acquisition reserve arises from the additional acquisition of non controlling interests, subsequent to obtaining control of the acquired entity. The reserve represents the premium on the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired entity.

e. other reserve

Other reserve includes realised capital profits on the disposal of assets which did not attract capital gains tax. In addition, gains realised by Lend Lease sponsored employee security plans upon renouncing their rights to participate in the Group’s single bookbuild accelerated renounceable entitlement offer in March 2010 have been recognised in other reserve.

f. equity Compensation reserve

The fair value of equity settled share-based compensation is recognised in the Income Statement and the equity compensation reserve over the vesting period of the underlying grant. Additionally, unallocated Lend Lease securities held by consolidated employee benefit vehicles that are used to meet equity related employee arrangements are recognised in the equity compensation reserve at their original historic cost to the Group.

g. other Compensation reserve

Unallocated Lend Lease securities held by consolidated employee benefit vehicles that are used to cash settle certain share based payment arrangements are recognised in the other compensation reserve at their original historic cost to the Group. On allocation, the securities are revalued to their current market value against the Income Statement. Following the distribution of the proceeds to the beneficiary, the difference between the original cost of the securities and the market value is recognised in retained earnings as a ‘gain/(loss) on utilisation of treasury securities’.

notes to the ConsoLIdated FInanCIaL stateMents CONTINUED

25. Contingent Liabilities

The Group has the following contingent liabilities:

There are a number of legal claims and exposures that arise from the normal course of business. There is significant uncertainty as to whether a future liability will arise in respect of these items. The amount of liability, if any, that may arise cannot be measured reliably at this time. The Directors are of the opinion that all known liabilities have been brought to account and that adequate provision has been made for any anticipated losses.

In certain circumstances, the Company guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations. This includes bonding and bank guarantee facilities used primarily by the Construction business as well as performance guarantees for certain Development business commercial built-form developments. These guarantees are provided in respect of activities that occur in the ordinary course of business and any known losses in respect of the relevant contracts have been brought to account.

A contingent liability exists in relation to the Lend Lease Retirement Benefit Fund. This is disclosed in detail in Note 32b ‘Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles’.

In September 2004, a class action was filed against a number of parties who responded to the World Trade Center (‘WTC’) emergency and debris removal following the events of 9/11. The action was brought against more than 50 defendants, including the City of New York and Lend Lease (US) Construction LMB Inc. formerly known as Bovis Lend Lease LMB, Inc. (‘LL LMB’) (a subsidiary of Lend Lease). Under a previous legal ruling, the litigation proceeded as a consolidated action by individual claimants rather than a class action. The number of claimants who have brought proceedings against LL LMB is approximately 16,337 (comprising 9,845 first named claimants and 6,492 derivative claimants – for example, spouses).

LL LMB is one of the beneficiaries of the approximately US$1.0 billion captive insurance policy (administered by the WTC Captive) established by the US Congress to protect the City of New York and its contractors against liabilities that may arise from the clean-up. LL LMB and other defendants have also benefited from certain project specific insurance.

Additional legal rulings in June 2010 established a settlement agreement which required the WTC Captive to contribute up to a total of US$712.5 million, subject to certain conditions. The agreement did not impose any financial obligations on LL LMB and became fully effective on 5 January 2011.

More than 95% of the plaintiffs who had brought claims against the defendants insured by the WTC Captive have accepted the settlement terms and have ‘opted in’ to the settlement, and all other necessary conditions have been satisfied.

Following the 23 June 2010 settlement and the implementation of the Zadroga Act, many cases have been resolved. As of 30 June 2013, there were only two cases remaining against a WTC Captive insured beneficiary and none against LL LMB. LL LMB may still need to defend claims made by plaintiffs who did not opt into the settlement, who were ineligible, who otherwise declined to participate in the re-opened Victim Compensation Fund, or have or still may appeal the dismissal of their action. LL LMB will also need to defend any new claims that may be filed by plaintiffs who bring claims against LL LMB. Any future litigation would need to proceed through a number of stages before any liability could attach to LL LMB. While any liability of LL LMB for present claims will be covered by insurance, it is not possible to quantify the potential for any future claims or any potential liability thereof at this stage. It is also not possible at this time to ascertain how the limitation of liability in the Zadroga Act will apply to any particular claim against LL LMB going forward; but, as to contractors such as LL LMB, the Act limits liability to those amounts remaining in the WTC Captive Insurance Company plus any insurance coverage that was available and applicable on 11 September 2001 for the particular contractor.

In 2009, LL LMB received subpoenas from both the New York County District Attorney’s Office (‘DA’s Office’) and the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York (‘EDNY’). The subpoenas related primarily to investigations being conducted by the EDNY and the DA’s Office around allegations of past payroll and billing practices on construction projects. In early 2011, LL LMB was advised the investigation by the EDNY was expanded to include LL LMB’s use of minority-owned business enterprises. On 23 April 2012, LL LMB agreed to a resolution with the EDNY and the DA’s Office to conclude the criminal investigations and enter into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (‘Agreement’), for a two year term. Payments to be made in connection with the agreement were fully provided for as at 30 June 2013.

In July 2011, LL LMB received a Civil Investigative Demand (‘CID’) from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (‘SDNY’). The CID related to the same investigation into past payroll and billing practices as the EDNY criminal investigation but was limited to federally funded projects and was civil in nature. A Settlement Agreement was executed with the SDNY on 7 February 2012. All payments required of the settlement were previously fully provided for and have now been made.

On 17 July 2012, the Company’s attorneys were contacted by the New York State Attorney General’s (‘NYSAG’) Office, seeking further information concerning the same investigations by the EDNY and SDNY referred to above with respect to New York State projects. The Company has been cooperating with the inquiry by the NYSAG’s Office, but at this stage the discussions remain preliminary, and it is not possible to quantify what the financial consequences associated with this matter will be.

Additionally, on 2 January 2011, the US President signed the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 (‘Zadroga Act’) into law. Among other things, this legislation re-opened the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund, such that current claimants were also potentially eligible to seek compensation from the United States government. The Act also limits the liability of the City of New York and various contractors, including LL LMB, for claims related to the clean-up operations. On September 10, 2012 the US Federal Government added 58 varieties of cancer to the list of 9/11-linked ailments covered by the Zadroga Act.

27. segment reporting

The segment results are discussed and analysed in the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) included with this report.

The Group operates a regional management structure focused on four major geographic regions: Australia, Asia, Europe and the Americas, to better support the Group’s integrated model and provide a platform to develop regional investment opportunities. The Group has identified these operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The regional business units operate across four lines of business, as follows.

Development

The Development business involves the development of urban communities, inner-city mixed-use developments, apartments, retirement, retail, commercial and healthcare assets.

Construction

The Construction business involves project management, building, engineering and construction services.

Investment Management

The Investment Management business involves property and infrastructure investment management, property management and asset management and includes the Group’s ownership interests in property and infrastructure investments.

Infrastructure Development

The Infrastructure Development business arranges, manages and invests in Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects.

Segment performance is based on operating profit after tax. Operating profit after tax is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain reportable segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. The Group does not consider corporate activities to be an operating segment. Financial information regarding the performance of each reportable segment and a reconciliation of these reportable segments to the financial statements is included below.

28. Capital risk Management

The Group assesses capital management as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group focuses on interrelated financial parameters, including return on equity, earnings growth and borrowing capacity. The Group also monitors its gearing ratio, interest coverage ratio and weighted average cost of debt. These are all taken into account when the Group makes decisions on how to invest its capital and evaluate its existing investments.

The Group’s capital includes total equity, borrowings and other interest bearing liabilities. When investing capital, the Group’s objective is to deliver strong total securityholder returns and to maintain an investment-grade credit rating by maintaining an appropriate financial profile. The S&P/Moody’s long term credit rating at 30 June 2013 is BBB-/Baa3 (June 2012: BBB-/Baa3). The Group was also in compliance with its financial covenants in respect of its borrowing facilities.

The capital structure of the Group can be changed by equity issuance, paying distributions to securityholders, the distribution reinvestment plan and changing the level of debt.

29. International Currency Management and Financial Instruments

The Group operates across numerous jurisdictions and markets. The Lend Lease Financial Markets Risk Committee oversees the management of the Group’s foreign currency, credit, interest rate and liquidity risk exposures, within the parameters of a Board approved policy. The Lend Lease Risk Management and Audit Committee maintains a Group-wide framework for risk management and reviews issues of material risk exposure.

a. Foreign Currency

Foreign Currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk in local currency terms that the value of a financial commitment or a recognised asset or liability, will fluctuate due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk primarily from foreign currency earnings, net investments in foreign operations, and transactions settled in foreign currency. The Group manages these exposures using both physical (this includes borrowings in the relevant foreign currency which act as a natural hedge for the net investments held in these foreign currencies) and derivative financial instruments (mainly forward foreign exchange contracts) to hedge foreign currency exposures. Speculative trading is not permitted.

The Group currently applies hedge accounting under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement on a very limited basis as the majority of forward foreign exchange contracts relate to cross border intercompany loans and transactions which mainly net off in the Income Statement. The Group has minimal hedges designated as fair value and cash flow hedges (refer to Note 1.22 ‘Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities’ for the accounting treatment of such hedges).

net Investments in Foreign operations

Net investments in foreign operations are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. Foreign currency gains and losses arising from translation of net investments in foreign operations are recognised in the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve until realised. The Group does not generally use derivatives to hedge net investments in foreign operations.

The net asset exposure by currency is detailed below.

sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis of the Group’s Australian dollar denominated Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position to foreign currency movements is based on a 10% fluctuation (June 2012: 10% fluctuation) on the average rates during the financial year and the spot rate at balance date respectively. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant, and excludes the effects of the foreign exchange contracts above.

A 10% movement in the average foreign exchange rates would have impacted the Group’s profit after tax as follows.

b. Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the risk that a counterparty will not be able to complete its obligations in respect of a financial instrument, resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group has exposure to credit risk from recognised financial assets.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date on financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position (excluding investments of the Group) equals the carrying amount, net of any impairment.

The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk on either a geographic or industry specific basis and has policies in place so that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.

Credit risk on financial instruments is managed under a Board approved credit policy that determines acceptable counterparties. Derivative counterparties and cash deposits are limited to recognised financial intermediaries with a minimum investment-grade credit rating as determined by a recognised rating agency. The policy sets out credit limits for each counterparty based on these ratings.

There was A$2.0 million impairment recorded during the year against other financial assets (June 2012: A$nil).

Refer to Note 10 ‘Loans and Receivables’ for information relating to impairment on loans and receivables.

Collateral

In certain circumstances, the Group will hold either financial or non financial assets as collateral to further mitigate the potential credit risk on selected transactions. During the current and prior year, the Group did not hold financial or non financial assets as collateral. At any point in time, the Group will hold other collateral such as bank guarantees and performance bonds to mitigate potential credit risk as a result of default by a counterparty or otherwise.

c. Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument or cash flow associated with the instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group uses physical and derivative financial instruments to assist in managing its interest rate risk. Speculative trading is not permitted.

sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2013 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings by A$3.8 million (June 2012: A$3.9 million increase in the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings). A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings by A$3.8 million (June 2012: A$3.8 million decrease in the Group’s profit after tax and retained earnings). The increase or decrease in interest income/expense is proportional to the increase or decrease in interest rates. Interest rate derivatives have been included in this calculation.

d. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of having insufficient funds to settle financial liabilities as and when they fall due. This includes having insufficient levels of committed credit facilities.

The Group aims to manage its liquidity risk exposure by maintaining sufficient levels of cash and committed credit facilities to meet financial commitments as and when they fall due.

Liquidity risk is reduced through prudent cash management, which ensures sufficient levels of cash are maintained to meet working capital requirements. It also allows flexibility of liquidity by matching the maturity profiles of short term investments with cash flow requirements, and timely review and renewal of credit facilities.

The Group’s main liquidity risk is the ability to refinance its borrowings maturing during July 2014. A strategy employed to manage this risk is funding through commercial notes. On 13 May 2013, the Group issued A$375.0 million of Australian dollar denominated senior unsecured medium term notes, reaching maturity between 2018 and 2020. On 24 July 2012, the Group issued S$275.0 million (A$211.6 million) of Singapore dollar denominated senior unsecured notes, maturing in July 2017.

As disclosed in Note 25 ‘Contingent Liabilities’, in certain circumstances the Company guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations including bonding and bank guarantees. Issued bank guarantees have cash collateralisation requirements if the bank guarantee facility is not renewed by the provider. At 30 June 2013, the Group does not anticipate a significant liquidity risk in relation to these facilities in the next 12 months.

The Group has provided collateral of A$4.2 million (June 2012: A$4.6 million) against letter of credit facilities.

The following are the contractual cash flow maturities of financial liabilities including estimated interest payments.

  • 2 The repayment of these amounts will be funded through collection of outstanding loans and receivables: June 2013: A$2,559.6 million (June 2012: A$2,204.7 million).

  • 3 Resident and accommodation bond liabilities are required to be classified as less than one year as any resident may depart at any time. The balance includes retirement village total resident liabilities of A$2,656.8 million (June 2012: A$2,250.3 million), which is net of deferred management fees receivable, and is repayable out of the amounts paid to the Group by incoming retirement village residents for the right to occupy retirement living and aged care properties (refer Note 13 ‘Investment Properties’ and Note 19 ‘Resident and Accommodation Bond Liabilities’).

Other contractually committed cash flows the Group is exposed to are detailed in Note 30 ‘Commitments’.

e. Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial Instruments

All financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, including those instruments carried at amortised cost, are recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair value, with the exception of the following borrowings.

The fair value of commercial notes has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows by the appropriate government bond rates and credit margin applicable to the relevant term of the commercial note.

Basis of determining Fair Value

The determination of fair values of financial instruments that are not measured at cost or amortised cost in the financial report are summarised as follows:

  • n The fair value of unlisted equity investments is determined based on an assessment of the underlying net assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to the particular investment;

  • n The fair value of unlisted investments in property funds has been determined by reference to the fair value of the underlying properties which are valued by independent appraisers;

  • n The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted valuation techniques; these include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other assets that are substantially the same, and discounted cash flow analysis; and,

  • n The fair value of derivative instruments comprises forward foreign exchange contracts, which are valued using forward rates at balance date, and interest rate swap contracts, which are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates.

Fair Value Measurements

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • n Level 1: The fair value is determined using the unadjusted quoted price for an identical instrument in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;

  • n Level 2: The fair value is calculated using predominantly observable market data other than unadjusted quoted prices for an identical instrument; and,

  • n Level 3: The fair value is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data.

a. Lend Lease Employee Security Plans

Currently employees own approximately 6.86% (June 2012: 6.91%) of the issued capital of the Group through various Lend Lease employee security plans, details of which are outlined below.

  • n Australia: Employee Share Acquisition Plan (‘ESAP’): ESAP was established in December 1988 for the purpose of employees acquiring securities in the Group and is funded by Lend Lease subscriptions. Those subscriptions have been used to acquire securities in the Group at market value on behalf of employees, who may be nominated as members of ESAP. Employees may also be allocated securities by way of bonus arrangements on the basis of individual, corporate and business unit performance.

  • n UK/Europe/Asia: Employee Share Plan: The European (Guernsey-based) Restricted Share Plan (‘the Restricted Share Plan’) was established in 1998. The Plan is similar in operation to the Australia-based ESAP. Securities in the Restricted Share Plan may be allocated to employees in the UK, Europe and Singapore based on individual and business unit performance. The Restricted Share Plan can acquire the Group securities at market value on behalf of employees. The value of allocations to employees is ultimately based on a combination of the Group security price and the respective currencies and Australian dollar exchange rates.

  • n In 2002, two UK-based Inland Revenue approved Share Incentive Plans (‘SIP’) were established for the acceptance of employee profit share contributions used to acquire Group securities for UK-based Group employees. These plans are currently not accepting new contributions whilst Lend Lease makes all profit share payments to employees in cash.

  • n Americas: US Rabbi Trust (‘Rabbi Trust’) was established in 2004 and updated in 2005 for the acceptance of employee profit share contributions used to acquire Group securities for US-based employees. This part of the plan is not currently accepting new contributions and only holds cash or short term investments. Since 2009 the Rabbi Trust has acquired Group securities at market value in respect of bonus arrangements for employees. Group securities may be released to employees following a deferral period. The value of releases is based on individual, business unit and Group performance.

eligibility

The rules for eligibility for particular plans are determined by reference to the regulatory, legal and tax rules of each country in which the Group operates.

distributions and/or Voting rights

Generally, employees in the various operating security plans are entitled to distributions and voting rights for allocated securities. The plans reflect this intention subject to regulatory, legal and tax constraints. Voting and distribution rights on any unallocated securities reside with the trustees of the relevant security plan trusts. The trustee may exercise these rights in accordance with any fiduciary or governance rules pertaining to the deed or trust laws in the legal and tax jurisdiction within which the trust operates.

b. Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles

In addition to the plans discussed above, Lend Lease has established a range of employee security ownership vehicles, including Lend Lease Retirement Benefit Fund (‘RBF’) and Lend Lease Employee Investment Trust (‘EIT’).

RBF was established in 1984 with shareholder approval for the benefit of employees. The balance of the assets of RBF at 30 June 2013 was 14.9 million (June 2012: 14.9 million) Group stapled securities.

The Lend Lease securities in RBF are not available for allocation to employees other than in the event of a change of control of the Group and, in accordance with RBF’s trust deed, the capital of the trust is not available to the Group.

The RBF trustee is independent of the Group. In the event of a change of control, the RBF trustee may distribute RBF funds to employees who cease to be employees during the 12 months after a change of control. The RBF trustee has discretion as to how RBF funds are distributed following a change of control. Under Australian Accounting Standards, RBF, while not legally controlled, is required to be consolidated for accounting purposes and payments from it on a change of control will impact the Group’s financial statements. Any payments that the RBF trustee may make as a result of a change of control of the Group are an obligation of RBF and not the Group. Any payments made will need to be funded by RBF and therefore cannot exceed the value of the assets of RBF, which was A$133.0 million at 30 June 2013 (June 2012: A$115.9 million). However, as RBF is consolidated by the Group, this potential obligation is disclosed as a contingent liability.

EIT was established in 1985 to enable employees to invest in the Group. At 30 June 2013, 10.9 million (June 2012: 10.9 million) Group securities were held by EIT, of which 10.6 million securities were available for allocation to employees. In accordance with EIT’s trust deed, the capital of the EIT is not available to the Group. As with RBF, Australian Accounting Standards require consolidation of EIT for accounting purposes, regardless of the control of EIT by an independent trustee. Therefore payments from EIT impact the Group’s financial statements. On a change of control, the EIT trustee may (but is not required to) terminate the trust and distribute allocated proceeds to employees and unallocated proceeds to the Lend Lease Superannuation Fund or to RBF. Any payments are an obligation of EIT and not the Group, and cannot exceed the assets of the EIT of A$95.2 million as at 30 June 2013 (June 2012: A$82.7 million). No contingency is recorded in these financial statements as the potential for such payments is remote, with any termination of EIT in such circumstances, and any subsequent distribution to other funds, entirely at the discretion of the EIT trustee.

It should be noted that given the timing and basis on which these vehicles purchased their Group securities, any capital gains tax payable on the Lend Lease securities sold by these vehicles as a result of a change of control (or otherwise) may be recognised from an accounting viewpoint as a tax expense of the consolidated entity.

b. Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles continued

short term Incentives (‘stI’)

The STI plan is an annual incentive plan whereby a number of employees receive benefits which are dependent upon the achievement of both Lend Lease financial targets and individual goals. The total value of the potential benefit varies by executive and is tested against relevant market levels for each role.

The STI plan comprises a cash element which is paid in September following year end. For more senior employees, where potential benefit is typically higher, the plan also includes a deferred element.

Deferral periods are generally for one or two years (up to three years in the case of the CEO as an interim measure for 2013). The deferred element is normally awarded as Lend Lease securities and in some instances as cash. Securities are held in Lend Lease Employee Security Plans on behalf of the employee for the deferral period. For employees to receive the full deferral, they must generally be employed by the Group at the date of vesting.

Long term Incentives (‘LtI’)

The LTI plan is designed to:

  • n Motivate Senior executives to achieve the Group’s long term strategic goals and only provide reward where the Group delivers better securityholder value than its peers; and,

  • n Align the interests of executives and securityholders given that the value received is linked to the Group’s security price.

An annual grant of ‘performance securities’ is made to a limited number of executives in September each year. The Board, based on the recommendation of the Personnel and Organisation Committee, intends that performance securities can be converted to Lend Lease securities or paid as a cash equivalent if the performance hurdle is achieved over a three year and four year period.

In the event of a change in control of the Group, awards will vest upon change in control, to the extent that performance conditions have been met. Participants would then be entitled to a pro rata settlement.

b. Lend Lease Employee Benefit Vehicles continued

arrangements for LtI awards Granted in the June 2010 Financial Year

arrangements for LtI awards in the June 2011 and June 2012 Financial Years

For awards granted 1 September 2010 and 1 September 2011 the performance hurdle is based on TSR compared with the TSR of the individual ASX 100 listed companies at the commencement of the performance period. TSR is measured against ASX 100 companies (with 50% vesting at median performance, rising proportionately to 100% on reaching 75th percentile performance).

50% of the award is measured after three years, the remaining 50% of the award is measured after four years. The executive must remain with the Group until vesting date for the award to vest. The period may be shortened if an executive leaves employment by reason of death or total and permanent disability. Where employment ceases for redundancy or other circumstances as determined by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Personnel & Organisation Committee, a pro rata award may be retained subject to the original vesting date and performance conditions.

other LtI awards

A limited number of other LTI awards have been granted to executives by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Personnel and Organisation Committee. These awards tend to have performance hurdles based on internal business unit performance targets, such as earnings before tax, operating margins and funds under management. The relevant performance hurdles must be satisfied in order for awards to vest, but the hurdles can vest independently. The executive must remain with the Group until vesting date for the award to vest.

amounts recognised in the Financial statements

LTI awards are valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation methodology where the security price can be projected based on the assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes formula. Retention awards are valued by discounting the security price by the expected dividends assumed to be paid from the valuation date until the vesting date (if applicable). The model inputs include the Lend Lease Group security price, a risk free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield.

During the financial year ended 30 June 2013, a A$30.1 million expense was recognised in the Income Statement in relation to equity settled security based payment awards (June 2012: A$25.1 million). This was partially offset by a net accrual reversal of A$0.2 million relating to previously accrued expenses.

For awards granted 1 September 2009, the performance hurdle is based on two equal measures: long term profitability as measured by Earnings per Security (‘EPS’) and Total Securityholder Return (‘TSR’) compared with the TSR of the individual ASX 100 listed companies as at the commencement of the performance period. The performance measures are:

  • n TSR measured against the ASX 100 companies (with 50% vesting at median performance, rising proportionately to 100% on reaching 75th percentile performance); and,

  • n EPS on the basis of EPS reported in the Group’s financial statements adjusted for exclusion of treasury securities.

Each of the two performance hurdles is measured and can vest independently. 50% of the award is measured after three years, the remaining 50% of the award is measured after four years. The executive must remain with the Group until vesting date for the award to vest. The period may be shortened if an executive leaves employment by reason of death or total and permanent disability. Where employment ceases for redundancy or other circumstances as determined by the Board, based on the recommendation of the Personnel and Organisation Committee, a pro rata award may be retained subject to the original vesting date and performance conditions.

securities exchange Listings and Code

Lend Lease Group is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and trades under the code LLC.

In the US, Lend Lease securities are traded on the over-the-counter market in the form of sponsored American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) under the symbol LLESY. Each ADR represents one ordinary security. Information about ADRs is available from the depositary, The Bank of New York Mellon (www.adrbny.com).

share accumulation plan

The Share Accumulation Plan is designed to be a convenient way for securityholders with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand to build their securityholdings without incurring transaction costs. The laws of other countries make it difficult for us to offer securities in this way. Lend Lease securityholders are able to reinvest their distributions to acquire more Lend Lease securities through the Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) or the Share Election Plan (SEP). Securityholders may also make contributions of between A$500 and A$2,500 to acquire new Lend Lease securities under the Share Purchase Plan (SPP). Together the DRP, SEP and SPP constitute the Share Accumulation Plan.

The rules of each of these plans are set out in the Share Accumulation Plan Information Sheet. Copies are available on the Lend Lease website. Please note that the Share Election Plan and the Share Purchase Plan are currently suspended.

Key sources of Information for securityholders

We report the following to securityholders each year:

  • n Securityholder Review

  • n Annual Report

We report each March and September to securityholders with distribution statements.

electronic Communications

Securityholders have the option of receiving the following communications and all other company-related information electronically:

  • n Securityholder Review;

  • n Annual Report and Securityholder Review;

  • n Distribution statements; and,

  • n Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Lend Lease makes both the Annual Report and the Securityholder Review available in an interactive version online. A hard copy of the Annual Report and/or the Securityholder Review will only be sent to those securityholders who elect to receive them in that form. In addition, you may elect to receive notification that the Annual Report and the Securityholder Review are available online.

Securityholders who wish to register their email address should go to the website of the Lend Lease share registry www.investorcentre.com/ecomms.

For registry contact details see page 180.

privacy Legislation

Under Chapter 2C of the Corporations Act 2001 , a securityholder’s information (including the name, address and details of securities held) is required to be included in Lend Lease’s public register. This information must continue to be included in Lend Lease’s public register for seven years after a person ceases to be a securityholder. These statutory obligations are not altered by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000. Information is collected to administer the securityholder’s holding and if some or all of the information is not collected, then it might not be possible to administer the holding. Lend Lease’s privacy policy is available on its website.
