ANNUAL REPORT
About this Report
Lendlease presents its second integrated annual report (Annual Report) which will continue to evolve over time. Through this Annual Report we aim to communicate how we create long term value for our securityholders through five pillars of value. The Annual Report is divided into several sections with all required elements of the Directors’ Report, including the Operating and Financial Review (OFR), being covered on pages 8 to 123.
1. Our Business
The Annual Report begins with an overview of who we are and our values. This is followed by a summary of our key operating and financial performance for the current reporting period, including performance highlights throughout the 2017 financial year. Lendlease’s Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director concludes this section with their reviews of performance for the year.
2. Our Strategy
An outline of our strategy and how we differentiate ourselves from our peers. This is followed by a description of the global trends that will influence our business and how we will leverage gateway cities to deliver our strategy. We explain in detail our operating segments and conclude with a specific focus on our integrated model through the lens of Elephant & Castle, London.
3. Pillars of Value
A description of Lendlease’s five pillars of value that drive the long term value of our business. Icons will be used throughout the Annual Report to link our business activities to these pillars. An update of the performance in line with identified measures is provided on pages 38 to 55, with further information on financial performance included in the Performance & Outlook section on pages 64 to 75. A description of each pillar is provided below:
Health & Safety

Financial
A strong balance sheet and access to third party capital enables Lendlease to fund the execution of its pipeline and deliver quality earnings.

Our People

6. Governance
An overview of Lendlease’s governance and decision making structures and remuneration information. Further information on governance can be found in the Corporate Governance Statement on the Lendlease website.
Integrated Reporting
This Annual Report has been prepared with reference to the International Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework. This framework encourages businesses to consider what creates value for them and how this value contributes to long term sustainable returns for securityholders.
Materiality
A matter is considered material if Lendlease’s senior management and those charged with governance believe it could significantly impact the value created and delivered by the relevant pillar in the short, medium and long term. Lendlease identifies and captures material matters through the following processes:
-
Project Control Group (PCG) sessions, which include key internal stakeholders and represent the governance structure for overseeing the completion of the Annual Report;
-
Capturing feedback through engagement and research during the financial year from key external stakeholders including investors, analysts, and other relevant groups;
-
Engagement with the Board; and
-
Confirming the strategy and the global trends influencing our strategy are consistent and relevant with the information collected above.
The outcome of the above processes are the material issues noted on page 38 and the strategy and global trends influencing our strategy presented on pages 22 to 25.
Directors’ Report and OFR
The required elements of the Directors’ Report, including the OFR, which is part of the Directors’ Report, are included on pages 8 to 123 of this Annual Report and include the sections: Our Business, Our Strategy, Pillars of Value, Risk, Performance & Outlook and Governance. The OFR is contained specifically on pages 8 to 75.
All non financial metrics included in the Directors’ Report on pages 8 to 61 have been verified through our internal verification process. The Remuneration Report on pages 92 to 119 and the Financial Statements on pages 126 to 183 have been audited by KPMG.

Lendlease is committed to creating and delivering innovative and sustainable property and infrastructure solutions for future generations.

We create places that leave a positive legacy with a focus on safety, innovation and sustainability, delivered by people who are respected for who they are and what they do. Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Lendlease has approximately 12,000 employees internationally. Our regional head offices are located in New York, Singapore and London.

CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Lendlease delivered a strong result for the 2017 financial year with $758.6 million in Profit after Tax and Distributions per Security of 66.0 cents. Our vision and strategy is centred around innovative property and infrastructure solutions. Successful execution of this strategy, combined with a strong financial position and robust risk management and governance frameworks, positions the Group to deliver attractive securityholder returns.
==> picture [511 x 615] intentionally omitted <==
Health & Safety
I am very saddened to report two fatal incidents on Lendlease projects, the first reportable fatalities on Lendlease operated projects in over four years. These incidents are a tragic reminder of the importance of pursuing an uncompromising approach to safety.
Lendlease’s Global Minimum Requirements remain the foundation for this approach and provide a health and safety risk management framework where employees are empowered to effectively manage risk.
The Board is committed to constantly challenging health and safety performance and continues to work proactively with management to drive a best practice safety culture.
Annual Report
I am pleased to present Lendlease’s second integrated Annual Report. This report is structured to demonstrate the long term value creation capabilities of Lendlease through its five pillars of value: Health & Safety; Financial; Our Customers; Our People; and Sustainability.
Financial Strength
The Group delivered a solid performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2017, with Profit after Tax of $758.6 million, up from $698.2 million in the previous financial year.
Securityholders will receive a final distribution of 33.0 cents per security, taking full year distributions to 66.0 cents per security. The payout ratio for the year was 51 per cent, which is within the Board’s stated target range of 40 to 60 per cent of earnings.
Lendlease enters FY18 in a healthy financial position. As at 30 June 2017, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of $1,249.2 million and gearing of five per cent. The resilience of the balance sheet, along with continued capital partnering, provides the financial flexibility to capitalise on growth opportunities generated by the integrated business model.
Our Customers
Customers are a key contributor to the long term success and growth of Lendlease. As an international business, our customer base is many and varied. This year, in support of Lendlease’s customer focused approach, the Board reviewed a range of activities and initiatives designed to enhance the way we engage with our customers. In addition, the Board undertook a number of client and site visits.
Our People
People are Lendlease’s greatest asset. Their contributions bring our vision and strategy to life. Attracting and retaining the best people is essential. We believe that at Lendlease, our strategy, the quality and depth of our pipeline and our culture of employee engagement and wellbeing are key ingredients.
This year it has given me great satisfaction to observe Lendlease’s new workplace environment at its international headquarters at Barangaroo South in Sydney. This collaborative workspace not only encourages a more inclusive and flexible working environment, but supports the physical and mental wellbeing of our people.
Sustainability
Long term value is generated by delivering outcomes that embrace social, environmental and economic factors. Lendlease’s Sustainability Framework, which was endorsed by the Sustainability Committee of the Board in 2014, incorporates four distinct elements that guide the Group’s sustainability agenda: climate change and environment; healthy buildings and communities; resilient and affordable communities; and community engagement. Through its many projects, Lendlease is constantly engaged with community stakeholders and we seek to leave a positive legacy in the places we create.
Lendlease launched its second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) in November 2016. The RAP is a key component of Lendlease’s community engagement and identifies business opportunities and career development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
Governance and the Board
After almost 13 years of service, David Ryan has decided that he will retire at the conclusion of the 2017 Annual General Meeting. David has made an outstanding contribution to the Board during his tenure, including chairing the Risk Management and Audit Committee until August 2016. He has provided valuable insight during his time on the Board and has mentored a number of the newer Board members. On behalf of the Board, I thank David for his commitment and hard work, and for his enduring support of Lendlease and its people. Philip Coffey was appointed to the Board as a Non Executive Director on 1 January 2017. Philip has held a wide range of management and executive roles throughout his career and has successfully led operations based in Australia, New Zealand, the United
States, the United Kingdom and Asia. He has deep experience in finance, risk management, strategy and funds management, which has been of significant benefit during Board discussions.
The Board is committed to continually reviewing its composition and capabilities.
The Nominations Committee is focused on maintaining the Board’s appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity so that the Board can lead the Group for the benefit of securityholders.
The Directors have a range of local and international expertise, as well as specialised skills. Eight out of 11 Directors have considerable experience in one or more of the core Lendlease operating segments of Development, Construction and Investments.
The Board remains committed to the Australian Institute of Company Directors target of 30 per cent female Board members by the end of 2018 and expects to soon announce the appointment of a Non Executive Director, which will add further diversity and strength to the Board.
Outlook
I am extremely pleased with the progress the Group has made in delivering on its strategy in recent years. Lendlease was born out of a vision to create a company that successfully combine the disciplines of development, construction, and investment. These skills, which we refer to as the integrated model, have been deployed around the world for decades.
The Board has supported the leadership team in successfully extending the integrated model into targeted international markets in recent years. Since 2011, the Group’s urbanisation pipeline has grown from an end development value of approximately $16 billion to approximately $35 billion. More than 50 per cent of this pipeline is in international markets.
Thank you to my fellow Board members, as well as the Lendlease leadership team and all employees, whose commitment and dedication have helped to achieve our vision to create the best places and continue to improve returns for securityholders.

GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Lendlease has delivered strong financial performance for the year, reflecting the completion of numerous development and construction projects and strong investment earnings. This year we made significant progress on our international gateway cities strategy, securing or commencing projects in six target cities. Our focus continues to be on delivering strong performance for securityholders and creating quality outcomes for customers.
==> picture [511 x 579] intentionally omitted <==
Health & Safety
Lendlease’s people are unquestionably its greatest asset and underpin our ability to deliver our vision. There is nothing more important than the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and those who work with us.
It is therefore with profound sadness I report the occurrence of two fatal incidents during the period. The first involved a sub contractor, working for the Principal Contractor on one of our community development projects in Queensland. The second involved a direct employee on one of our engineering projects in New South Wales.
On behalf of the Board and management team at Lendlease, I express my sincere condolences to the families and friends impacted by these tragic incidents. We continuously strive to do our best in safety with the aim that anyone who works on or visits a Lendlease workplace or asset is safe from harm.
These incidents serve as a sobering reminder of the critical importance of working safely and further strengthen our resolve to achieve the elimination of incidents and injuries from our operations.
Performance Highlights
The business generated strong financial returns for securityholders for the year. Earnings per security grew by eight per cent and we delivered a Return on Equity of 12.9 per cent, which is towards the upper end of our target range of 10 to 14 per cent.
The Australian region, driven by strong performances in the Development and Investments segments, was the key driver of the result and accounted for almost 80 per cent of operating earnings. Our Americas Construction segment was the largest contributor from our international operations.
This year, the full breadth and depth of our delivery capabilities was demonstrated with the completion of many projects across multiple sectors and geographies.
Our contribution to residential development was substantial, with the delivery of more than 2,500 apartment units across Australia and London, more than double the number completed last year.
Our commercial developments in Australia attracted tenant commitments of more than 90,000 square metres and continue to set benchmarks for collaborative, healthy and productive working environments.
We proudly delivered several significant social infrastructure projects including the world class International Convention Centre Sydney, and the Sunshine Coast University and Bendigo Hospitals, which collectively provide their communities with more than 1,000 hospital beds.
We have been involved in some of the United States’ most recognisable projects, including its tallest residential tower at 432 Park Avenue in New York.
Our Strategy
Our integrated business model is defined by our ability to originate, fund, deliver and manage major urbanisation projects. We believe this provides a sustainable competitive advantage and will drive long term securityholder value.
We continue transitioning our business model into our gateway cities, where we have a presence in 15 of our 17 identified cities. Currently, we have 34 major apartment and commercial buildings in delivery in these cities around the world. Our activity in the Americas region was a standout with a number of projects moving into delivery. Riverline in Chicago, Clippership Wharf in Boston and 277 Fifth Avenue in New York all broke ground. We also secured our first development project in San Francisco on the West Coast of the United States.
Our retail led Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter project in Kuala Lumpur also moved into delivery. In London, we were delighted to be selected as the preferred development partner by the Haringey Council on their estimated $7 billion Haringey Development Vehicle.[1]
Sustainability
Key to securing projects such as Haringey is our ability to address the future needs of all stakeholders, particularly our clients and their customers. Creating vibrant communities where people live, work and interact is what drives our business and we thrive on providing these opportunities.
We have a strong tradition of skilling and training our workforce and the supporting communities in which we have a presence. This year was no exception with the success of our Barangaroo Skills Exchange which provided training and employment for over 10,000 construction workers.
In Malaysia, we collaborated with the Construction Industry Development Board where we developed the Safety Supervisor Apprenticeship Program. This was the first formal safety partnership of its type between the public and private sectors in Malaysia.
Another highlight has been our Northern Connector road project in Adelaide, which is setting new benchmarks for local participation in infrastructure projects. This includes the upskilling and employment of target groups such as Indigenous workers, displaced automotive workers and people facing barriers to employment.
Outlook
Creating the best places, whether they be workplaces or public facilities, roads or tunnels, communities, apartments or mixed use precincts, remains at the core of Lendlease’s vision.
Our efforts will focus on the delivery of quality outcomes for our many and varied customers, and in doing so we aim to deliver long term value to our securityholders.
Our integrated capabilities across property and infrastructure provide a distinct competitive advantage and our immense track record of delivery excellence is underpinning opportunities to secure new work. This was recently demonstrated with the announcement of our preferred position on the Melbourne Metro Tunnel project as part of the $6 billion consortium with Bouygues, John Holland Constructions and Capella Capital.
Our Development pipeline stands at $49.3 billion in estimated end value, providing earnings visibility over the medium term. We have 13 major urbanisation projects across gateway cities providing diversity across both geography and sector.
The outlook for our Construction segment is robust, with backlog revenue of $20.6 billion. We have been selected as preferred bidder on a further $10 billion of work and see significant opportunities in some of our target sectors, particularly transport infrastructure.
Our Investments segment remains well placed to continue to deliver a source of recurring income, with growth in funds under management largely driven by our own product creation capability. The associated $1.5 billion of co-invested capital that supports this funds under management, provides strong alignment with our investment partners and a high quality income stream.
A strong financial position provides the scope to fund, along with our investment partners, our already secured pipeline as well as potential growth opportunities. As always, we remain focused on operational excellence and this will be implemented via a rigorous approach to risk management and an unwavering commitment to health and safety.
On behalf of the Global Leadership Team, I thank our people for their tremendous contributions. I also thank all securityholders for your ongoing support.

Lendlease’s strategy is to pursue its integrated business model in targeted gateway cities around the world.
This means leveraging more than one of our operating segments of Development, Construction and Investments in cities we believe are the most resilient and best performing. Further information can be found on pages 28 to 33.
Our strategic intent is to deliver optimal performance in a safe and focused manner. We employ a disciplined approach to growing the business in sectors that are aligned to six key global trends that can be found on pages 24 to 25.
We are guided by a Portfolio Management Framework that provides for a diversified earnings base by both geography and segment in order to maximise securityholder value.
We differentiate ourselves from our peers through our integrated business model, financial strength and strong track record. When we leverage our integrated model we can deliver products more efficiently and offer our customers a streamlined approach.
Our ability to originate, fund, deliver and manage major urbanisation projects provides a sustainable competitive advantage. Our pillars of value, which can be found on pages 38 to 55, in conjunction with our strong risk management and governance framework, described on pages 58 to 61, drive our approach to business and delivery of long term value for our securityholders.
When our pillars of value work together, we create economic, safe and sustainable outcomes for our customers and our people.

GLOBAL TRENDS INFLU ENCING OUR STRATEGY
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
URBANISATION
Urbanisation creates increasing pressure to plan for, and accommodate, a more dense population. By 2030, over 60 per cent of the world’s population is expected to live in urban areas.[1]
Where We Are Today
Our urbanisation pipeline with an end value of $34.6 billion includes:
-
Barangaroo South, Sydney
-
Elephant & Castle, London
-
Paya Lebar Quarter, Singapore
-
Riverline, Chicago
The Opportunity
Expand our globally recognised urbanisation business.
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
FUNDS GROWTH
Global assets under management are forecast to rise to US$102 trillion by 2020, up from US$64 trillion in 2012.[4]
Where We Are Today
Our investment management platform spans Asia, Australia and Europe, with $26.1 billion in funds under management (FUM). We have deep and established relationships with approximately 150 global institutional investors including sovereign wealth funds, large public and private pension and superannuation funds and insurance companies.
The Opportunity
Provide institutional investors with tailored global real estate and infrastructure solutions, via our product creation capability. Offer a broader range of investment products such as telecommunications and residential to rent.
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
INFRASTRUCTURE
Urbanisation and population growth are driving the need for improved productivity, creating strong demand for infrastructure at both the social and economic levels.
Worldwide, infrastructure spending is expected to grow from US$4 trillion per year in 2012 to more than US$9 trillion per year by 2025.[2]
Where We Are Today
We have a strong infrastructure solutions capability in Australia with $3.1 billion of Engineering backlog. We have delivered major projects, such as the Anzac Bridge and significant sections of the Pacific, Hume and Bruce Highways. Public Private Partnerships are initiated through our Infrastructure Development business.
The Opportunity
Partner with governments and private institutions to meet the growing needs of cities and regional areas in Australia.
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
SUSTAINABILITY
In November 2016, the Australian Government reaffirmed Australia’s commitment to effective global action on climate change.
Where We Are Today
We are committed to mitigating climate change impacts and proactively integrating adaptation into our operations. We have set ourselves a 20 per cent reduction target around energy, water and waste consumption by 2020 and we continue to be a creator of green certified buildings and precincts. We are also committed to the creation of resilient and prepared communities and have developed a comprehensive approach to the assessment of climate change risk on a number of our assets within the Investment Management business in Australia and on our major developments within our urbanisation businesses.
The Opportunity
To partner with federal, state, local and city policy makers, both in Australia and overseas, in providing effective solutions for the built environment, which directly respond to the challenge of climate change.
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
AGEING POPULATION
The ageing population requires different housing solutions and greater healthcare support services in all of our major markets. Internationally, people aged 60+ will grow the most in number between 2015 and 2050.[3]
Where We Are Today
We have the leading retirement living business in Australia with approximately 16,000 residents and 12,626 retirement units.
The Opportunity
Consolidate our leading position in the Australian retirement living sector and explore options to deploy our expertise in other regions.
==> picture [249 x 198] intentionally omitted <==
TECHNOLOGY
Global investment in real estate technology startups has grown from $0.2 billion in 2012 to $1.7 billion in 2015.[5]
Where We Are Today
We are investing in deploying technology to support material productivity gains in the way we construct buildings. We have delivered engineered timber buildings around the world, most recently Library at the Dock, Melbourne – Australia’s first public use timber building, and International House Sydney – Australia’s first engineered timber commercial office building. We are leading the way in integrating new technologies in our products to create great experiences for our customers.
The Opportunity
To drive value by leading in the deployment of these technology enabled tools and techniques in our projects.

GLOBAL PRESENCE, GATEWAY CITIES
Our aim is to have a presence in the cities we believe will be the most resilient and best performing around the world. These ‘gateway cities’ can typically withstand property and economic cycles better than other cities.
To form this view, we undertook an extensive global study and applied a number of filters. We then evaluated key metrics including economic, business climate and capital market indicators.
This narrowed our focus to 38 global London cities which were filtered on additional Chicago Boston metrics such as demographics, property fundamentals, geopolitical risks and New York Milan Beijing Lendlease’s presence in a particular market. Rome Tokyo These cities were also reviewed from a San Francisco health and safety perspective, meaning any future opportunities, irrespective of Los Angeles Shanghai potential commercial returns, will only ever be taken on if we can commit to applying Lendlease’s Global Minimum Requirements (GMRs). The process identified an initial 17 gateway Kuala Lumpur cities for us to pursue our urbanisation projects. Singapore Playing into the breadth of Lendlease’s skill set, these cities typically contain large sites ripe for regeneration and infrastructure upgrades.

Urbanisation projects include large scale projects in gateway cities. These cities often face various challenges, such as housing undersupply, skills shortages, and the need for economic and social development. These projects create and shape city skylines and urban precincts where people want to meet, gather and spend time.
Financial returns for the segment are generated via Development margins, Development management fees received from external co-investors and origination fees for the facilitation of infrastructure Public Private Partnerships transactions.
Our Communities and Retirement Living businesses have a strong presence throughout Australia. We design the masterplan and deliver an environment that provides a range of living options.
Our Infrastructure Development business has contributed to key parts of Australia’s social infrastructure. We have extended our expertise into the development of telecommunications infrastructure in the Americas.
Australia
We have active urbanisation projects in four of our gateway cities. We partner with local authorities to create workplaces, residential, retail and public spaces that regenerate precincts. Our development work is showcased at Barangaroo South in Sydney. The recent completion of three new commercial office towers and our first engineered timber commercial office building, anchors a new extension to the central business district. The precinct also includes a vibrant retail offering and complementary public amenity, in addition to waterfront apartment living.
==> picture [158 x 135] intentionally omitted <==
We have created more than 50 masterplanned communities over the last half century, with 16 currently in development. We design the masterplan and deliver the streetscape, open spaces and town centres to create an attractive living environment that provides access to community facilities.
We sell individual blocks of land to future residents and work with home builders to provide our customers with a total residential solution. Preferred bidder for the Our Retirement Living development pipeline,
Our Retirement Living development pipeline, which is expected to create and upgrade thousands of units over the coming decade, is a key part of our Development segment. The units we develop will add to and enhance our existing 71 retirement villages that form part of our Investments segment. The portfolio will continue to provide unique housing options for senior residents, enabling them to maintain independent lifestyles. We also have plans to grow a continuum of care offering by developing and operating adjacent aged care facilities and/ or partnering with specialist providers to manage these facilities.

Haringey Development Vehicle, London[1]
Our experience in delivering social infrastructure is displayed by projects such as the recently completed International Convention Centre Sydney – a multipurpose entertainment and events venue in the heart of Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
Americas
Our Development business in the Americas is focused on securing urbanisation projects in gateway cities. Residential projects are now underway in Chicago, Boston and New York where we have approximately 1,000 apartment units in delivery. Around three quarters of these units are residential rental, or multifamily product. During FY17 we secured a project in San Francisco, another of our target gateway cities.
We have entered the United States infrastructure sector with the acquisition of a mobile telecommunications tower portfolio. This acquisition will allow us to utilise our development expertise in what will be a new sector for our business in this region.
Asia
In Asia, we have a strong track record of development. This includes our major retail developments of 313@somerset and Jem in Singapore.
We are currently delivering two large mixed use projects being Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore and Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At Paya Lebar Quarter, work is well underway on three
office towers, three residential towers and associated retail mall. The Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter project went into delivery towards the end of FY17 and includes a retail mall, six residential towers, a hotel and parkland.
Europe
Our Development business in Europe has been operating for more than two decades.
In 1999, Lendlease transformed a former chalk quarry into the 240 acres of retail, leisure and commercial enterprise that is Bluewater shopping centre.
More than a decade later, Lendlease partnered with Southwark Council to re-develop three sites at Elephant & Castle, including Elephant Park, Trafalgar Place and One The Elephant.
Today, we have multiple projects where we are partnering with governments and local communities to create sustainable residential, commercial and retail precincts. This includes the Haringey Development Vehicle, where we were recently selected as the preferred bidder for the $7 billion project.[1]

We have delivered construction projects around the world for more than 59 years. We have been involved in the construction of some of the world’s most recognisable projects such as the Sydney Opera House, National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center in New York, Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia and the Athletes’ Village in the United Kingdom.
Our Construction and Development businesses partner to enable the delivery of multifaceted urbanisation projects. This is where our integrated model is at its best; when our capabilities work in unison to deliver on a shared vision for a project.
The financial returns for the segment are generated via project management and construction management fees, in addition to construction margin.
Australia
Our construction capability is brought to life in the places and structures we create such as offices, retail centres, residential apartments, public buildings, roads, tunnels and railways.
We are renowned for creating many award winning places and in FY17 completed the Convention Centre, Exhibition Centre and Theatre buildings (collectively known as International Convention Centre Sydney) at Darling Harbour in New South Wales and the Sunshine Coast University Hospital in Queensland. We provide solutions for our customers by managing the design and construction of these places.
==> picture [158 x 135] intentionally omitted <==
We are a specialist in the construction of civil infrastructure and asset maintenance in Australia through our engineering and services capabilities.
Transport infrastructure is our main area of expertise across road, rail and civil work including both bridges and tunnels. The Anzac Bridge and sections of the Pacific Highway are just two examples of the major projects we have delivered.
We then use our services capability to support and maintain the infrastructure and places we and others create. For example, our Services business works closely with our Engineering business on road projects and performs civil works to prepare the land for our Communities business. Our services capability extends across transport, infrastructure property, telecommunications, utilities, industrial and resources, and renewable energy.

Americas
In the Americas, we have helped cities grow with more than 3,500 construction projects completed nationwide over the past 20 years. Our execution excellence is supported by approximately 80 per cent of our Construction business being generated by repeat customers. We have been involved in some of the nation’s most recognisable projects, including its tallest residential tower at 432 Park Avenue in New York.
We also secured a number of significant contracts in FY17 including the design and construction of the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center expansion in New York, which is being delivered with a joint venture partner.
Asia
Our construction capability in Asia is well established, with a presence dating back to the 1970s. We have the longest track record in Singapore, where we have delivered more than 400 projects across various sectors.
Our focus for construction in the region is now on our internal pipeline and specialist sectors for external clients such as pharmaceuticals and telecommunications. Our internal urbanisation pipeline is currently supporting our Construction business, providing approximately $680 million backlog of work to be delivered.
Europe
Our Construction business in Europe operates in both the private and public sectors.
We have an ongoing pipeline of development work that has provided construction opportunities that help to create and shape areas across the United Kingdom. This includes a new commercial district in Stratford, International Quarter London.
We have also been named the main contractor for Google’s new headquarters at Kings Cross in London. This contract was awarded due to our focus on innovation, highly collaborative approach, shared values, and our perceived desire to challenge industry norms.

INVESTMENTS
Our Capability
Our Investments segment owns or manages investments, predominately created by the Disciplined other parts of our business. Our ownership portfolio management interests include the $1.5 billion of co- to maximise investments in our property and infrastructure securityholder funds, providing alignment with our capital value partners. We fully own our Retirement Living business and have an equity position in our US Military Housing portfolio.
Our Investments segment also includes a wholesale investment management platform operating in Australia, Asia and Europe. We invest on behalf of pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, investment managers and insurance companies, offering approximately 150 institutional investors access to quality property and infrastructure assets.
Financial returns for the segment include fund and property management fees, yield and capital growth on investment positions, and returns from the Group’s retirement portfolio and US Military Housing operations.
The product we create through our urbanisation projects is a differentiator for our Investments segment. It provides us with high quality investment income and our capital partners with direct access to superior investment product. The conversion of our urbanisation pipeline is expected to underpin future growth in investment income and funds under management.
Australia
We are the largest owner, operator and developer of senior living communities, with 71 retirement villages making up our portfolio. This geographically diverse portfolio consists of 12,626 units across Australia. Our retirement development pipeline will add to this over time as completed units transition into the investment portfolio.
==> picture [158 x 135] intentionally omitted <==
In 1959, we launched Lendlease’s first unlisted property trust. Today, we manage a suite of wholesale funds and mandates. Most of the funds are managed across the retail and office sectors with capabilities also in industrial property and social infrastructure.
Our business model is centred on managing assets for our third party capital partners and taking co-investment positions in these assets. As our Development pipeline continues to grow, opportunities for greater investment will also emerge.
Approximately

Americas
In the Americas, we have worked extensively with the Department of Defense through the Military Housing Privatisation Initiative. We have long term agreements to manage the housing on selected military bases and have an equity position in these assets. Our portfolio has grown to over 40,000 residential units and apartments and more than 12,000 hotel rooms.
We currently have approximately 850 residential for rent apartments in delivery. On completion, these apartments will provide a source of investment income and potential investment product for capital partners. This is an example of our integrated model in action; the apartments were originated by the Development segment, they are currently being delivered by our Construction segment and will provide future income opportunities for our Investments segment.
Asia
We have a strong track record of managing retail and commercial assets in Asia with more than $5 billion of funds under management. These assets are predominantly retail malls and include projects developed by Lendlease such as 313@somerset and Jem in Singapore and Setia City Mall in Malaysia.
Current development projects are a potential source for future growth in investment income and funds under management. In Singapore, the office led mixed use scheme at our Paya Lebar Quarter project will provide sector diversification opportunities upon its completion. The retail mall that is now under construction at Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter will add to our funds under management in future years.
Europe
In Europe, we manage $826.8 million in property assets via funds and separate mandates. We are exploring opportunities to leverage our integrated model to grow our Investments segment following the successful disposal of the Bluewater retail asset in 2014 and the subsequent divestment of our Private Finance Initiative investments. Creating a residential for rent product in London provides a potential opportunity for new product, with some of our urbanisation projects well suited to this emerging asset class.

HEALTH & SAFETY
We are committed to the health and safety of our people. This means we focus on maintaining the health and wellbeing of our people and those who engage with our assets.
Safety Incidents
It is with great sadness that we report the first corporate reportable fatalities on our operations in more than four years. The first event claimed the life of a plant maintenance mechanic working for a subcontractor appointed by the Principal Contractor on a Lendlease development project in Queensland.
The second event occurred when a Lendlease employee was conducting work on a reticulated water system for our Engineering business in New South Wales. These events provided tragic reminders of why we must continue to pursue our uncompromising approach to safety.
Our Approach to Health and Safety
These tragic events have given rise to a re-examination of our overall approach to health and safety. Since 2015, our focus has been on the management of Critical Risk Events, as outlined in our Global Minimum Requirements (GMRs). Following this review, we have re-confirmed that the GMRs remain the foundation to our overall approach to health and safety.
For the coming year we will focus on:
-
Consistent application of the relevant GMR controls and performance standards.
-
A proactive risk management culture to provide people with the opportunity to pause and reflect, think about the decisions they are about to make, or the activity they are about to undertake, and seek to identify the worst thing that could occur.
This ‘dual action’ approach will require a commitment, by both our people and our supply chain, to embrace and apply this in equal measure, across the full lifecycle of what we do.

Critical Incident
----- End of picture text -----
Introduced biometric site access controls via facial recognition at Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore to help us manage worker fatigue, track training and competence.
In FY17, we have seen the rollout of mobility based technology for reporting incidents and observations, completing inspections, and providing access to GMR related information and other important documents whilst in the field. Efficiencies gained from the rollout include significant time saving, a shift away from burdensome paper based systems and an increase in the amount of safety observations recorded (covering both ‘safe’ and ‘at risk’ scenarios) across our operations – data that is critical in helping us to better understand and manage our exposure to critical risk.
By reducing the need for burdensome process, we have enabled our people to remain focused on being proactive and adopting our risk management culture.
Notwithstanding the two tragic incidents that occurred during FY17, our frequency rate for both Critical Incidents and Lost Time Injuries decreased across the Group by 26 per cent and 11 per cent respectively.
What this financial year has sadly brought home to us is, that despite the significant efforts put in, by both our people and those from our supply chain, in keeping people safe, there is always the need and the opportunity to do more.
This year has been a sobering reminder of why safety must always remain our number one priority and why we must strive to eliminate all incidents and injuries from across all of our sites.

FINANCIAL
A strong balance sheet and access to third party capital enables Lendlease to fund the execution of its pipeline and deliver quality earnings.
Our Approach to Financial Performance
Our Development, Construction and Investments businesses with operations in Australia, Asia, the Americas and Europe are supported by a disciplined governance framework and the Portfolio Management Framework introduced during FY17. We generate earnings for our securityholders and deliver value for our customers through these businesses in their own right.
When these businesses combine and leverage the competitive advantage of our integrated model, value can be enhanced for our securityholders, delivery partners and the community. Award winning and innovative design excellence, creation of better public places, integrated transport solutions and superior sustainable solutions are some of the key value creators Lendlease delivers for its stakeholders.
Financial Strategy
During the year, the Group introduced a refreshed Portfolio Management Framework. This is the core of our financial strategy and is designed to work with the strategic framework of ‘Focus & Grow’. The framework sets target guidelines and is designed to:
-
Maximise long term securityholder value through a well
-
diversified, risk adjusted portfolio;
-
Leverage the competitive advantage of our integrated model;
-
Optimise our business relative to the outlook for our markets on a long term basis; and
-
Provide financial strength to execute our strategy and maintain a strong financial profile with flexibility to withstand shocks.

We introduced our refreshed Portfolio Management Framework in FY17.
How We Measure Financial Performance
When measuring financial performance, we focus on Return on Equity and Earnings per Security to measure the returns we achieve for our securityholders.
The Portfolio Management Framework outlines target returns at a segment level. These returns are used to derive a Return on Equity target within the 10 to 14 per cent range and Earnings per Security used to make distributions within the 40 to 60 per cent payout ratio target.

OUR CUSTOMERS
Our approach to the Darling Harbour Regeneration was an Integrated approach between Public Private Partnership and Property enabling a differentiated product for our customers.
Island Palm Communities Case Study
We adopt a collaborative approach to our relationships, delivering high quality products and services that respond to our customers’ needs. Satisfied customers drive long term value.
Our Solution:
The Brief:
In the early stages of the project, a planned five megawatt thin film rooftop Photovoltaic (PV) system earned IPC the reputation of being one of the largest solar powered communities in the world. Never satisfied by the status quo, we continued to work with solar energy providers and our partner to enhance our PV program. Today, we are on track to install systems with a capacity in excess of 20 megawatts, which will save our project approximately US$174 million over the system’s life.
A US$2.0 billion, 12 year initial development and an additional US$5.0 billion over the remaining 38 year project term, Island Palm Communities (IPC) is the largest Military Housing Privatisation Initiative (MHPI) project awarded by the Army. Energy costs in Hawaii are among the highest in the nation, and powering a community of what will be nearly 8,000 families poses a great risk to the financial health of the community. With an energy bill that was nearly US$30 million a year, more than a third of the annual operating expenses, an innovative solution was needed.

Darling Harbour Regeneration – a Public Private Partnership with the New South Wales (NSW) State Government Case Study
“We’re pleased to work with a partner that continues to pursue and test new technologies – offering solutions to reduce energy consumption in our communities. Enhancing energy efficiency is an important mandate of the Department of Defense, and we value programs that can assist us in achieving our energy reduction goals across Garrison operations.”
Our Solution:
The Brief:
The NSW Government saw the redevelopment of this 20 hectare precinct at Darling Harbour as a once in a generation opportunity for all of Sydney and NSW. The existing convention, exhibition and entertainment facilities were state of the art when they were developed in the 1980s. But the industry has shifted since then – delegates want a different kind of conference, more flexible spaces and better technology.
At the bid stage we assembled a consortium of industry leaders to form Darling Harbour Live which featured: Lendlease, AEG Ogden and Spotless. We worked closely with Government, who procured the International Convention Centre Sydney using an output focused approach where it specified the minimum performance requirements at a high level, enabling maximum flexibility in how the market responded.

OUR PEOPLE
Lendlease’s people are the greatest contributors to our success and underpin our ability to deliver our vision to create the best places.
Our Approach to People
At Lendlease we believe an inclusive work environment inspires employees to perform better which drives business growth. We further support our people by providing learning and development opportunities, which lead to higher performance and future career progression and we recognise and reward exceptional achievements.
Employee Wellbeing
We believe in taking care of our employees, supporting their physical and mental wellbeing through our focus on healthier minds, bodies, places and cultures.
We offer eligible employees industry leading wellbeing leave which encourages them to take a proactive and preventative approach to their own health. In FY17, 66 per cent of our employees around the world took wellbeing leave.
Whilst we have a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, mental health has been a growing area of focus. Mental Health First Aid training has become a cornerstone of these efforts with over 950 of our employees trained around the world to be competent in mental health first aid.
Understanding our Workforce
We review our workforce as part of the strategic business planning and review process. We continue to invest in growing our core capabilities of project management and property development through active talent management and targeted employee development.
We recognise that the availability of professional development opportunities significantly enhances employee engagement and retention, and provides appropriate talent pools for management and executive management succession planning.
We have continued to grow our pipeline of successors for key roles and have increased the number of females in our succession pool.

Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity and inclusion is at its best when people encourage difference, but work together. We embrace this by sourcing talent from diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences which creates diversity of thought and innovative solutions for our customers.
Our Diversity & Inclusion strategy focuses on: flexible work, inclusive leadership and gender equity.
We encourage flexible working at Lendlease. It is a key enabler for diverse talent and provides an attractive and inclusive place to work. This year we have focused on key initiatives to increase access to flexible working arrangements on our construction sites.
We are committed to a level playing field, giving men and women the same chance to succeed. It means we address any potential imbalances in benefits available to men and women.
For the year ended 30 June 2017:
-
Two out of our 10 Non Executive Directors are female;
-
At a senior management level, three members of our Global Leadership Team are female; and
-
31 per cent of our employees are women and Lendlease has again been recognised as an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality by the Australian Workplace Gender Equality Agency.
For the sixth year running, we have been recognised as a top employer in the Australian Workplace Equality Index for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Intersex (LGBTI) inclusion.
We are developing a new approach to measuring employee engagement and as a result of this change we did not conduct an employee engagement survey in 2017.

SUSTAINABILITY
Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) at International House Sydney has a 40% decrease in embodied carbon when compared with traditional construction materials.
Sustainability is about enabling the creation of the best places and meeting future needs of people. Globally, capital investors, policy makers and communities are seeking trusted partners who can deliver efficient, healthy, resilient, culturally and socially inclusive outcomes which deliver long term value.
Our Approach to Sustainability
2. Healthy Buildings and Communities
We remain committed to managing and optimising our sustainability contribution and performance through delivering economic, social and environmentally responsible outcomes.
We are working toward built environments that have a positive impact on people’s health and wellness. Globally, there is a wellness and mobility transformation in the built environment, meaning the buildings and communities we create need to respond by delivering healthier outcomes for the people who use them. This includes an ongoing focus on designing for indoor environment quality, as well as innovating through procurement and operating policies and procedures.
Our Sustainability Framework introduced in 2014 can be split into the following areas:
-
Climate Change and the Environment
-
Healthy Buildings and Communities
-
Resilient and Affordable Communities
International Towers Sydney at Barangaroo South is undertaking Performance Verification for Core and Shell certification under the WELL Building Standard, the first project globally to do so. Our own tenancy at Barangaroo South in Australia is targeting WELL Platinum for its fit out.
- Community Engagement
1. Climate Change and the Environment
We aim to eliminate waste from our business, use clean energy and use it wisely, create more clean water than we use, and continue to respect the value of nature.
On our urbanisation projects around the world, we will continue to strive for healthier outcomes for residents and customers.
To measure our progress, we are pleased to report meaningful progress against our 20 per cent by 2020 reduction targets for energy, water and waste. We also have the aim that all the buildings and communities we produce and operate are independently rated as achieving green building status. We are designing and building places with lighter environmental footprints by using more renewable energy and materials with lower energy impacts.
3. Resilient and Affordable Communities
We believe integrating environmental and social value helps us with our aspiration of creating the best places for people now and into the future.
Recently, some of our projects have been built using materials with a low environmental impact, including Engineered Timber and Low Carbon Concrete, where appropriate. This form of smart and environmentally responsive construction was seen at International House Sydney. Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) provides approximately half the waste in construction when compared to traditional techniques and a safer and quieter construction environment, with lower community impact, as a result of smart construction and supply chain innovation.
As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, we remain committed to the continuous improvement of our operations. We are also focusing on our value chain in the areas of human rights, the environment, anti corruption and responsible labour practices.
We are also investing in skilling and training programs for our people and subcontracted workforce to create an adaptive capacity and to attract the best people, as well as developing socially inclusive developments and communities.
In FY17, we have used less energy and water, produced less waste, as well as promoted environmental efficiency and awareness.

More Milestones at Our Skilling & Employment Centre in St Marys
The Growth in Social Impact Assessment
Community creation and social value are at the heart of our approach to sustainability, along with the understanding of how to direct our efforts and measure our impact. When Lendlease’s pillar of values are deployed, we create the best places that offer economic, safe and sustainable outcomes for our customers, our communities, our people and our securityholders.
Since 2005, the Skilling & Employment Centre has assisted more than 4,500 people to achieve jobs. 1,600 people have undertaken skilling courses that support job readiness in the areas of: construction, first aid, computer skills, networking, resume preparation, and interview techniques.
Whilst this aspect of creating the best places has long been a part of the way we do business, it is an area of focus that has rapidly emerged as a priority for our customers and end users, as evidenced in several major bids undertaken in FY17.
Safety Supervisor Apprenticeship Program (SSAP) in Malaysia
In collaboration with Malaysia’s, Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB), we developed the Safety Supervisor Apprenticeship Program (SSAP). As the first formal apprenticeship collaboration between the public and private sectors in Malaysia, the program focuses on the safety needs of the construction industry.
The Haringey Development Vehicle, London, where Lendlease has preferred bidder status, was a clear demonstration of this shift in customer focus, with the local authority allocating a 20 per cent weighting to the social value creation and community investment dimensions of the bid assessment process. This significant weighting acknowledged the project’s vision based on the principle that social and economic benefits, as well as growth in new homes and jobs, are essential to the future of the borough.
The structured program provides industry recognised training (encompassing both theoretical and onsite training components) through an integrated approach by Lendlease and CIDB. Apprentices who successfully complete the SSAP will receive a formal CIDB and Lendlease SSAP qualification. The successful completion also earns the trainee various certifications from the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) and National Institute of Occupational Safety.
Internal Expertise
Recognising the growth in demand for more tangible social impact evaluation and the ability to better design, forecast and quantify social value creation, we have developed in house expertise to undertake social impact measurement for programs, projects and bids across the organisation. Social Impact Measurement or Social Return on Investment (SROI) enables us to capture the outcomes and value beyond the traditional balance sheet.
Training Academy at Paya Lebar Quarter
At Paya Lebar Quarter, we aimed to raise the bar in worker engagement and set new standards for the construction industry in Singapore. To do this, we introduced the Training Academy. Open to all workers, the daily courses covered low risk awareness and high risk tolerance topics including Frontline Leaders, Incident & Injury Free and Cranes & Lifting. With over 25,500 hours completed in FY17, new standards for worker competency have been established in the Singapore construction market.
Skilling and Training
We have a long and strong tradition of skilling and training our workforce and supporting the communities in which we have a presence through improved education and employment opportunities. This year was no exception, with our commitment to skilling and training evident around the world.
Southwark Construction Skills Centre at Elephant Park
Barangaroo Skills Exchange (BSX)
In Sydney, the Barangaroo Skills Exchange (BSX) has delivered skills training to 10,872[1] site workers to date. It was established to provide significant skilling and training to onsite workers for the construction of Barangaroo South.
We were proud to open the Southwark Construction Skills Centre at Elephant Park on 8 September 2016. The Centre is a partnership between Lendlease and Southwark Council and aims to train up to 1,000 people each year. The skills centre is made up of seven modular buildings located at the entrance to the Elephant Park site and includes classrooms, a building workshop and an outdoor training yard.
The SROI evaluation estimates the BSX has created over $78.5 million[2] in socio-economic value for all stakeholders during the three years of operation (2013-2015). For every $1 invested in the program, $11.76 net additional social and economic benefit was generated.[3]
Since its inception, we have delivered 113,306 total learning outcomes and 20,387[1] new accredited skills qualifications. 26,003[4] students are currently learning about the project, including safety leadership training, basic digital literacy, construction trades and skill sets.
Lendlease Foundation Springboard Social Return on Investment Case Study
Springboard is a five day personal development experience for our employees that incorporates a highly interactive and rewarding volunteering component.
This year, in addition to the usual pre and post program survey feedback, a Social Return on Investment (SROI) assessment was undertaken on the Springboard program, for the period of FY14 to FY16. The assessment evaluated the social value created for key stakeholders of the program.
The SROI Report documents a social return on investment ratio of: $1: $3.60. For every $1 invested: Springboard created $3.60 of social and economic value.[1]
Much of the value is created for our employees who attend the program, through personal and professional development, as well as cultural awareness. However, Springboard also creates value for Lendlease through employee retention, wellbeing and driving connections across the international business. In the Tasman Peninsula, community youth and adult volunteers were also found to benefit from improved
intergenerational communication and social bonds, with the local businesses experiencing a direct economic benefit from Springboard’s investment in the region.

Sustainability – Community Engagement
Lendlease Foundation
Addressing Community Challenges in the Americas
Community engagement is critical to informing what is valued by the people in the places we create, just as progressive and active community partnerships are essential to helping us deliver and scale that value, to create meaningful and sustained social impact. For more than 30 years, the Lendlease Foundation, has provided an important vehicle for the Company to realise its community engagement and partnership objectives.
The Lendlease (US) Community Fund (LLCF) is a non profit organisation that focuses its efforts on supporting military men and women who live in homes or stay in hotels Lendlease has built, as well as supporting the communities where Lendlease employees work and live.
LLCF supports community growth and development by funding projects that address community challenges in the areas of housing, education, health, economic development and environmental sustainability, and creates or supports programming that improves the quality of life for military families.
Two of Lendlease Foundation’s leading programs are Community Day and Springboard, which together with a range of other fresh ideas, programs and partnerships are all helping to shape our social impact agenda and bring health and happiness not only to our employees, but to their families and the communities where we live and work.
In partnership with Lendlease’s Privatisation of Army Lodging (PAL) program, LLCF has contributed nearly $60,000 to various causes at PAL installations to date.
Community Day
This year, over 5,000 people participated in Community Day across 262 projects, around the world. Our projects ranged from renovating buildings for those struggling with homelessness or domestic violence, to restoring important green spaces, and assisting children with special needs. This annual international event, is an opportunity for our employees to work alongside their colleagues, community partners, families and suppliers.
Environment at the Centre of Paya Lebar Quarter’s Community Creation
Originally from India, the Banyan tree received its name from the Baniyas (or Indian traders) who sat below the tree’s valuable shelter conducting their business. Village meetings and other useful community gatherings would also take place in its shade.
In Singapore, as part of the Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) project, a series of initiatives are underway to create an active, green and engaged community. One such initiative, called Project Banyan, is aimed at respecting the life of a Banyan tree located on the site by giving it a new lease of life in the Paya Lebar community.
Springboard
Springboard is one of Lendlease Foundation’s flagship programs and is unique to Lendlease. Each year, approximately 250 employees from around the world have the chance to participate in this intensive five day personal development experience, structured to help employees deal with personal change, explore hidden potential, develop greater confidence and self awareness and live a more sustainable life. The program is also designed to generate a positive legacy for our community partners by offering a highly interactive and rewarding volunteering and community engagement component to the Springboard experience. FY17 was the third year the program has taken place in the Tasman Peninsula community of Tasmania, Australia, with a continued commitment in place until the end of FY18.
This initiative involves cultivating cuttings from the original Banyan tree to be cared for by the project team and community until PLQ is completed. At least 20 of the saplings will be grown and nurtured at the PLQ site offices, with the best Banyan sapling to be replanted in the new public realm and the remaining saplings to be gifted back to the local community.
Enterprise Educational Workshops in the United Kingdom
Our business in Europe has demonstrated its commitment to education and the local community through collaboration with Enabling Enterprise. To date, the engagement has seen the United Kingdom business welcome more than 200 primary school students to over 10 educational workshops at our offices or project sites.
Recognising Volunteering Efforts through Community Grants
Volunteering our time and skills positively impacts both us and our communities. To recognise and reward the volunteering efforts of our employees, Lendlease Foundation runs Community Grants programs around the world to aid charities and communities in which our employees volunteer their time. In the Australian region this year, 20 community groups were given a much needed financial boost for addressing community need in one or more of the following areas:
The workshops involve our employees sharing their expertise to coach the children through a series of exciting activities that mimic the processes of design, costing materials, construction and pitching for investment – all of which highlight the roles of numeracy and literacy in the working world. The program is aimed at inspiring the students, feeding their inquisitive minds, challenging their thoughts and driving creativity and innovation.

Sustainability – Community Engagement
- We will increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees in our Australian business.
Reconciliation Action Plan
Our vision for reconciliation remains one that drives all our employees to acknowledge and celebrate the proud heritage of Australia’s First Peoples and promotes opportunities for career development, sustainable business growth and economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians.
-
Approximately two per cent of all Lendlease Australian employees are Indigenous.
-
We have four formal partnerships with organisations that work to improve attendance and completion rates of young Indigenous people at school, university and other further education institutions. This will help us to create a future pipeline of Indigenous Lendlease employees.
Our second Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), ‘Building Respect: Past, Present, Future 2016 – 2018’, was launched in November 2016. The RAP has achieved an ‘Elevate’ status by Reconciliation Australia, positioning Lendlease within the elite group of leaders driving reconciliation in our sector. Lendlease is one of 20[1] corporate organisations in Australia to achieve this level of leadership, recognising our willingness to significantly invest in reconciliation.
-
We will increase procurement from, and support the development of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses in Australia.
-
Lendlease was announced as a finalist in two categories of the 2017 Supply Nation National Indigenous Procurement Awards – Corporate Partner of the Year and Procurement Professional of the Year.
The RAP identifies how, by providing sustainable opportunities in education, employment and business for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, the economic benefits flow both ways. As a builder, developer and manager of assets all over Australia, we also recognise the importance of engaging with the traditional owners and custodians of the land to incorporate Indigenous culture, heritage and values at the heart of these assets.
- Procurement from certified Indigenous business (products and services) was in excess of $26 million in FY17.
Gymea Bringing RAP to Life
Our Elevate RAP builds upon our key learnings through the opportunities and successes since we released our first RAP in 2011.
We have developed and are beginning to implement the Gymea strategy, where a cohort of prequalified Indigenous suppliers will be strategically aligned to Lendlease business units to drive contract opportunities to increase capacity and grow these businesses over a five year timeframe.
With Australian Federal and State Governments increasingly specifying mandatory Indigenous employment, training and economic participation targets as part of their Indigenous Participation Policies for procurement, and with financial penalties for non compliance, our approach provides us with an opportunity to meet our obligations in this area. At the same time, we are working to build capacity in the industry to respond and ‘raise the bar’.
CareerTrackers
CareerTrackers is a national not for profit organisation that creates internship opportunities for Indigenous university students.
- ‘Building Respect: Past, Present, Future 2016 – 2018’ features a clear set of goals applying to all our Australian operations:
We have had 74 CareerTrackers interns working across our Lendlease businesses since 2011. Of these interns, eight have completed their studies and converted to full time employment at Lendlease, 16 are currently working casually whilst studying and 10 have secured a place on the 2018 Graduate Program.
-
All Lendlease employees in Australia will be invited to participate in cultural awareness and engagement learning.
-
We are advanced in delivering face to face learning, and we are working towards achieving our 2018 goal of providing 100 per cent of Australian employees with cultural learning experiences through online and immersion opportunities.
Bourke NSW Aboriginal Community
We are working with the Bourke NSW Aboriginal Community as part of a collective collaboration, including the participation and support of the NSW Government, to prove that a justice reinvestment approach can prevent more young Aboriginal people from entering the justice system.
- We have supported the development of Arrilla Digital, an online cultural awareness and learning platform that will be made available to all Australian employees to provide a baseline of cultural understanding.
The project aims to reduce the $4 million annual cost to the NSW Government by incarcerating fewer young people from Bourke.

GROUP HIGHLIGHTS
We delivered a strong result for securityholders for the year ended 30 June 2017, with Profit after Tax of $758.6 million, up nine per cent on the prior year.
The Americas Construction segment, which delivered more than $100 million of EBITDA, was the largest contributor from our international operations. This result represented an 87 per cent increase on the prior year and was driven by both strong revenue growth and performance upside on a number of projects that were closed out during the year.
Earnings per Security was 130.1 cents, up eight per cent on the prior year, and the distribution for the year of 66.0 cents per stapled security was up 10 per cent on the prior year.
Corporate EBITDA costs declined by eight per cent on the prior year to $154.4 million, with productivity savings realised during the year. Depreciation and amortisation costs were up on the prior year by 19 per cent to $98.2 million, reflecting higher occupancy and technology related costs.
EBITDA of $1,201.8 million was up 14 per cent on the prior year, driven by strong growth across all three operating segments. The result was underpinned by strong performance across the Australian region, accounting for more than three quarters of Group operating EBITDA. Key highlights in the region included strong contributions from both the Development and Investments segments.
Net finance costs declined by 12 per cent on the prior year due to lower average net debt over the year. Net debt ended the year at $912.8 million, while the average cost of debt during the year was 4.9 per cent.
Both commercial and residential development were strong in Australia.
Net operating and investing cash flows across the Group were $216.1 million for the year. Cash inflows included proceeds received following the practical completion of Tower One at Barangaroo South, apartment settlements on buildings completed in both Australia and Europe, and proceeds from the sell down of a majority interest in the Circular Quay Tower development in Sydney. These inflows were offset by continued investment in the development pipeline, with an increasing focus on our urbanisation pipeline in international gateway cities.
In commercial, key highlights included significant leasing progress across the commercial development portfolio and the completion of Tower One at Barangaroo South. We sold down a majority interest in the Circular Quay Tower development in Sydney. Tenant commitments underpinned the forward sale of three office towers at Brisbane Showgrounds in Brisbane, and Melbourne Quarter and Victoria Harbour in Melbourne.
In residential, apartment buildings completed in Australia and Europe which drove a record 2,533 apartment completions for the year, more than double the prior year result.
The positive cash outcome supported the maintenance of our strong balance sheet, with gearing at 5.0 per cent, cash and cash equivalents of $1.2 billion and total liquidity of $3.5 billion, representing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn debt facilities, all improvements on the position from the prior year.
The Australian Investments segment also performed strongly across key components. The Retirement Living portfolio recorded strong underlying performance, and funds under management grew by 11 per cent on the prior year to $26.1 billion, while coinvestments delivered solid income growth over the year.

GROUP OUTLOOK
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
We are well placed for future success. Earnings visibility remains strong with a record amount of Development work already secured, a substantial Construction backlog and a solid base of recurring earnings from our Investments segment. Our integrated capabilities across property and infrastructure provide a sustainable competitive advantage, while diversity by business and geography is expected to support resilience across the business model. The development pipeline of $49.3 billion provides significant earnings visibility provided we execute well. The origination focus in recent years has turned towards our target international gateway cities, and the urbanisation projects secured in these cities are now starting to move into production. Capital and subsequent earnings are expected to re-balance towards our international operations as these projects move further into delivery.
During the year we introduced a refreshed Portfolio Management Framework, which is designed to:
-
Maximise long term securityholder value through a well
-
diversified, risk adjusted portfolio;
-
Leverage the competitive advantage of our integrated model;
-
Optimise our business relative to the outlook for our markets on a long term basis; and
-
Provide financial strength to execute our strategy and maintain a strong financial profile with flexibility to withstand shocks
As a part of this framework, we set target guidelines on a number of key metrics, which are set out in the table below. During the year ended 30 June 2017, our Return on Equity was 12.9 per cent, which is at the upper end of the 10 to 14 per cent target range. This return was achieved using moderate financial leverage with gearing well below the 10 to 15 per cent target range.
Our Construction backlog revenue remains stable at $20.6 billion, with approximately $10 billion of preferred work globally at balance date. The focus over the medium term will be on improving underlying performance across the segment. The pipeline outlook remains strong particularly in the transport infrastructure space for the Australian Engineering business.
The distribution for the year of 66.0 cents per stapled security, represents a payout ratio of 51 per cent for the year, consistent with the target 40 to 60 per cent payout ratio. Other key metrics for the year were broadly in line with the target guidelines. The regional capital mix in Australia reduced during the year to the top end of the target guideline mix. The re-weighting of geographic capital exposure away from Australia is expected to continue over the medium term with an increasing focus on our international markets in order to achieve portfolio diversification.
The $26.1 billion of funds under management and $3.3 billion of investments in our Investments segment provide a solid base of recurring earnings. These positions are expected to continue to grow as we deliver on our development pipeline.
Financial strength will remain a priority for us to provide the flexibility to fund our existing and future development pipeline alongside capital partners. Operational excellence will be pursued through a rigorous approach to risk management, an unwavering commitment to safety, health and sustainability and a disciplined approach to origination.

DEVELOPMENT PERFORMANCE
previously eliminated development profit. Also at Barangaroo South, the International House Sydney development, Australia’s first engineered timber commercial office building, completed during the year and is fully leased.
The Development segment delivered EBITDA of $552.4 million, up 10 per cent on the prior year. The segment accounted for 40 per cent of Group operating EBITDA. Development Return on Invested Capital was 13.7 per cent for the year, above the target range. The result was underpinned by strong performance in the Australian operations which delivered 27 per cent growth in EBITDA on the prior year. EBITDA for the European region was down following a strong result in the prior year. Asia and the Americas remained in the investing phase during the year. The strong result in Australia was supported by a number of highlights across both commercial and apartment development.
We sold down a majority interest in the Circular Quay Tower development in Sydney, while tenant commitments underpinned the forward sale of three office towers at Brisbane Showgrounds in Brisbane, and Melbourne Quarter and Victoria Harbour in Melbourne.
In Australia, apartment buildings completed during the year, which drove a record 1,807 apartment completions. These included buildings at Darling Square in Sydney, Victoria Harbour and Toorak Park in Melbourne and Brisbane Showgrounds in Brisbane. Land lot completions across our Australian masterplanned communities of 3,060 was down 10 per cent on the prior year, largely a result of production and related planning delays.
Office developments in Sydney and Melbourne drove a strong commercial result. More than 90,000 square metres of office leasing was achieved on the Eastern Seaboard. In addition to securing tenants, our development risk was further mitigated by funding support from capital partners.
Significant leasing progress was made at Tower One at Barangaroo South, with new tenant commitments secured during the year (including Heads of Terms) taking the commercial leasing in the tower to approximately 80 per cent. Tower One reached practical completion during the year, making all three office towers now operational. This shift to operational status across the towers facilitated the release of
In Europe, 726 apartment units were completed primarily at International Quarter London and Elephant Park. A further 1,124 presold apartment units in London will carry into FY18. In addition, a joint venture partner was introduced to the residential development project at Wandsworth in London.

DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK
The Development segment pipeline of $49.3 billion provides significant earnings visibility. This comprises $34.6 billion of urbanisation projects and $14.7 billion in Communities and Retirement projects.
Across the urbanisation pipeline, we now have 13 major commercial buildings and 21 apartment buildings in delivery. There is a further $24.3 billion of secured urbanisation pipeline to be converted and delivered in future years, representing over 18,000 apartment units and approximately 513,000 square metres of commercial space.
This is expected to increase to six gateway cities over coming years based on buildings currently in delivery. In addition to being diversified by location, the buildings in delivery are diversified across sectors with office, retail, residential for sale and residential for rent.
These projects are typically held in capital efficient structures, providing flexibility around delivery timing in line with market cycles. We aim to deliver between 1,000 to 2,000 apartment units and commence two to three major commercial buildings per annum.
We are well placed to further grow the development pipeline with an ongoing focus on the international regions. We are currently preferred on the approximate $7 billion Haringey Development Vehicle in London, which is expected to be secured within the next 12 months.*
The Australian operations are expected to remain a key contributor to the Development segment earnings going forward with a $30.9 billion pipeline in the region, including $16.2 billion of urbanisation projects.
The more recent origination focus on the international operations is expected to result in a growing offshore contribution over the medium term. The development pipeline across the international regions represents $18.4 billion in
- The Haringey Development Vehicle is subject to contractual and financial close. Approximate number as at 30 June 2017 based on exchange rate at period end.

CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE
The Construction segment delivered EBITDA of $338.3 million, up 17 per cent on the prior year. Revenue grew by five per cent and the EBITDA margin improved by 30 basis points to 2.7 per cent during the year. While the margin recovered, it remains below our target range.
The Americas recorded a strong recovery, with EBITDA up 87 per cent on the prior year to $105.4 million. Building completions included two high rise apartment buildings in New York: the prominent 432 Park Avenue, opposite Central Park, and 56 Leonard Street. The strong result in the region was supported by performance upside on several projects that were closed out over the year.
Australia remains the largest contributor to earnings despite EBITDA being down 13 per cent to $201.4 million during the year, with the result impacted by the performance across a small number of projects and increased bidding activity. In Building, several high profile and large scale projects were successfully completed over the course of the year. International Convention Centre Sydney is a world class conference, exhibition and entertainment facility. Both the Sunshine Coast University Hospital and Bendigo Hospital also completed during the year, providing more than 1,000 new hospital beds. Tower One at Barangaroo South, the third and final office tower, also reached completion.
The European business has begun to recover from challenging market conditions in recent years, generating EBITDA of $31.7 million. This was a solid outcome, given that the prevailing industry conditions continue to be challenging. Further volume is required for the business to achieve scale and improve returns. Given the challenges associated with third party work in Asia, apart from a few niche areas, we remain focused on delivering the internal development pipeline in the region.
Engineering revenue accelerated during the year as delivery activity increased. We continued to invest in the business during the year, including associated bid costs for the anticipated higher level of work over the medium term. The full benefit of this investment is expected to be realised over future periods.

The outlook for the Construction segment remains solid with backlog revenue of $20.6 billion. Backlog was broadly flat with $13.2 billion of new work secured during the year. The backlog position is well diversified by geography, sector and customer. There was a strong rise in the amount of work in preferred bidder status during the year, closing at approximately $10 billion. We are well placed to convert a significant portion of this work into backlog revenue over the coming year. The Building business in Australia enjoyed a number of major project wins during the year including Western Sydney Stadium, Sunshine Plaza redevelopment and 839 Collins Street at Victoria Harbour. Subsequent to balance date we were also preferred on Sydney Metro Station, Martin Place.
We are seeking to extend our proven delivery capability into design and construct contracts that are typically higher margin projects, such as the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.
In Europe, the backlog revenue has declined, however the region is in a preferred position on a number of major projects which we expect to convert over the coming year. During the year, we were named a panel member on Scape Group’s approximately $11 billion construction framework for public sector projects and we are in a preferred position to deliver Google’s Headquarters in London.
The decline in Engineering backlog revenue reflects the timing of major bid activity during the year in Australia. We remain optimistic regarding the medium term pipeline outlook for the business, particularly in the transport sector.
Post balance date, the Cross Yarra Partnership, of which we are an equal third partner, was selected as preferred bidder on the approximate $6 billion Melbourne Metro Tunnel project. We were also awarded the approximate $500 million Ballarat Line Upgrade project as part of a consortium.
The strong internal development pipeline is expected to provide a solid backdrop for the Construction segment across all our regions. In particular, the Asia region remains predominantly focused on delivery of the internal pipeline.

INVESTMENTS PERFORMANCE
The Investments segment delivered EBITDA of $495.3 million, up eight per cent on the prior year. The segment accounted for 36 per cent of Group operating EBITDA, providing a solid base of recurring style earnings. Investments Return on Invested Capital was 11.7 per cent, above the target range.
Operating EBITDA earnings increased by seven per cent to $116.1 million during the year. Funds under management were up 11 per cent to $26.1 billion, generating solid fund and asset management fee growth. The completion of Tower One at Barangaroo South was a key contributor to fund platform growth during the year. The US Military Housing operations continued to contribute a stable base of asset management earnings to the operating platform.
Ownership EBITDA earnings, increased by nine per cent to $379.2 million during the year. Ownership earnings are derived from our investment positions in Retirement Living, co-investments and infrastructure including equity in the US Military Housing operations. The value of our investments increased by 11 per cent to $3.3 billion during the year.
The Asia result in the prior year was impacted by a reduction in the value of our 25 per cent direct investment in 313@ somerset in Singapore. In Europe, we divested our interest in the Lendlease Private Financial Initiative/Public Private Partnerships Infrastructure Fund LP in the prior year. These items impacted the year on year movement in these regions.
The Retirement Living business delivered a strong contribution, underpinned by an average 11 per cent rise in unit prices on resales during the year. The underlying growth in the portfolio, combined with the acquisition of two additional retirement villages, resulted in the value of the Retirement Living portfolio rising to $1.7 billion[1] . Higher investment income was derived during the year from our investment in Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust, with the underlying commercial assets now having all moved into the operational phase. The equity returns from our US Military Housing operations also remained solid.
New equity of approximately $0.9 billion was raised during the period. This was mainly attributable to equity commitments relating to the sell down of the Circular Quay Tower development in Sydney. We maintain a strong network of capital partners who provide additional capacity for us to develop our pipeline of opportunities, as well as supporting a solid base of recurring income.

INVESTMENTS OUTLOOK
Disciplined portfolio management are also being explored. While to maximise the market is in its early stages, securityholder some of our urbanisation projects value are well suited to this asset class.
The Investments segment remains well placed to continue to deliver a solid base of recurring style earnings in the target range of 30 to 40 per cent of Group operating EBITDA. The integrated business model and internal development pipeline is likely to remain the main source of future growth for the segment. We closed the year with $26.1 billion in funds under management (FUM), with more than $3 billion of additional secured FUM based on urbanisation projects currently in delivery. The further conversion of the urbanisation pipeline together with our strong network of third party capital, will provide future opportunities to continue to grow the platform.
Telecommunications infrastructure in the United States is a sector where we can deploy our integrated model.
We have recently begun the development of telecommunications towers, and over time it is expected we will seek to introduce third party capital to support the growth of the business.
Investments managed on behalf of the Group closed the year at $3.3 billion. We had $1.5 billion co-invested across the fund platform, providing strong alignment with investors and a high quality income stream. The Retirement Living business largely accounts for the remainder of our current allocation to the Investments segment. Consistent with our business model, we are exploring the potential introduction of capital partners into this business to support future business growth.
The funds platform is well diversified across both geographies and sectors. The growth in the urbanisation pipeline across our international regions is expected to support future offshore growth in the Investments segment. This will include opportunities in the traditional asset classes we have exposure to, in addition to new asset classes including residential for rent and telecommunications infrastructure.
In the Americas, we currently have 850 residential for rent apartment units across three residential buildings in delivery. This is a well established institutional asset class in the United States. Potential opportunities for residential for rent in London

Inventories
Investment Properties
Investment Properties increased primarily due to acquisitions and valuation growth on the Retirement Living properties on a gross basis. This increase was partly offset by an increase in Resident Liabilities reported through Other Liabilities. Investment properties also grew due to acquisition of a telecommunication tower portfolio in the Americas.
Inventories increased by 11 per cent on the prior year due to an increase in work in progress in relation to key Development projects including Darling Square in Sydney, Elephant Park in London and Tun Razak Exchange Lifestyle Quarter in Kuala Lumpur.
Equity Accounted Investments
Other Assets (including Financial)
Equity Accounted Investments decreased by 28 per cent on the prior year following a change in the accounting classification of our investments in the Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust. This was due to all underlying assets now having moved to the operational phase post completion. These investments are now reported within Other Financial Assets in the Statement of Financial Position.
Other Assets increased by 13 per cent on the prior year largely driven by the change in accounting classification of our investments in the Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust as noted above.

Investing
Net cash inflow from investing activities during the year was primarily due to proceeds received from the sell down of a majority interest in the Circular Quay Tower development and proceeds from the divestment of the New Zealand Retirement Living business, which completed in the prior financial year. This is offset by capital expenditure and acquisition of telecommunication assets in the Americas.
Financing
Net cash inflow from financing activities during the year was driven mainly by repayments on the Club Revolving Credit Facility offset by proceeds from the S$300.0 million bond issued in April 2017.
Operating
Positive operating cash flow of $146.0 million was primarily due to the cash proceeds received following the practical completion of Tower One at Barangaroo South and apartment settlements in Australia and Europe. During the year, we also completed two PLLACes1 transactions; one within the European Apartment business in the first half and a second transaction within the Australian business in June 2017. These items were offset by increased contributions in development projects in

Our net debt and gearing position reduced during the year, driven by the positive net operating and investing cash flow position. As a result, both gearing and interest cover improved as at 30 June 2017. The increase in our average cost of debt reflects lower drawings under floating rate bank facilities during the year. Average debt duration remains over five years due to the extension of the Club Revolving Credit Facility to FY22 and issuance of a new S$300.0 million 10 year 3.9 per cent bond.

BOARD REGIONAL PROGRAM 2016 – 2017
The Board program is formulated to reflect the geographic spread of the Lendlease businesses, with Board meetings scheduled in Australia and each of the regions where Lendlease operates.
Generally, a Board program runs over two or three days and comprises formal meetings, business briefings, presentations from external sources, project site visits and networking events with employees and key stakeholders. Board members attend program activities in addition to formal meetings. Where deeper project reviews are required, the program may take up to five days or site visits may take place outside of a scheduled Board program by individual Directors. The varied program enables Directors to obtain a deeper understanding of the activities and operations within each region.
This covers the program from 1 January 2016 to 31 July 2017.

Board Project Assessment – Milano Santa Giulia, Milan
In June 2017, Dan Labbad, Chief Executive Officer, International Operations and Europe, gave a presentation on the International Operations structure and contribution to the Group. As part of the presentation he spoke of a new opportunity, ‘Milano Santa Giulia’, located in Milan, one of 17 gateway cities identified by Lendlease for the pursuit of urbanisation projects. This opportunity was to enter a joint venture where we would develop the first phase, known as the ‘south area’, and offer Lendlease exclusivity on the second phase, known as the ‘north area’.
The Board received a number of papers and updates on the opportunity and challenged the rationale for pursuing this project. Several issues in connection with the project were considered at each of the meetings. A number of Board members attended a ‘deep dive’ session in April 2017 in Milan with senior management to gain deeper insight into the strategic opportunity.
Presentations by senior management and a visit to the site were included as part of the ‘deep dive’ session. The assessment of Milano Santa Giulia is an example of how the Board oversees management delivery against strategy through its program activities.
Prior to approving the opportunity, the Board considered the project at several meetings in 2016 and 2017 as part of the overall international strategy and as a stand alone project.

REMUNERATION REPORT
Message from the Board
Welcome to the 2017 Remuneration Report where we explain how performance has been linked to reward outcomes for Key Management Personnel (KMP) at Lendlease this year.
Lendlease has developed and embedded a competitive Executive Reward Strategy to deliver long term outperformance and with the aim of having the right people to lead the Group over the long term. Our approach to executive reward has been a key factor in driving our success.
Our Executive Reward Strategy, which consists of a framework and policy that governs how the key senior employees in the organisation are remunerated, has supported the achievement of Lendlease’s strategy by:
-
Driving strong individual and team performance;
-
Emphasising medium to long term performance, which recognises the investment cycle of a group such as ours;
-
Forging clear alignment between Senior Executives and securityholders; and
-
Considering the interests of both internal and external stakeholders.
For securityholders, this performance has been illustrated in Lendlease’s Total Securityholder Return (TSR) of 188.9 per cent over the past five years, compared to 91.5 per cent for the ASX 100 accumulation index over the same period (see graph below). This has been supported by the design of incentives for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Senior Executives.
Short Term Incentive (STI) outcomes are strongly linked to business performance. During the year, Lendlease delivered Profit after Tax above the target set by the Board, progressed strategic initiatives and delivered strong operational outcomes including improvements in broader measures of safety performance. However, tragically, during 2017 there were two fatal incidents recorded, the first corporate reportable fatalities for four years. These incidents have been accounted for in the Board’s determination of the overall incentive pool, the Board’s assessment of the STI payable to the CEO, and in STIs paid to other executives based on either accountability or having a responsibility for the safety outcomes of the Group.
We are pleased to report that we received 98 per cent of votes cast in favour of our Remuneration Report at the 2016 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

This report forms part of the Directors’ Report and has been audited in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 .
There were no major changes introduced in 2017, however the Board has been actively reviewing the Executive Reward Strategy to see if enhancements can be made to further support the ‘Focus & Grow’ Strategy and drive continued success. Following stakeholder feedback, the Board resolved to allocate and disclose future Long Term Incentive (LTI) awards using face value.
We have also reviewed the presentation and content of the Remuneration Report in order to simplify the report and align it with our overall approach to integrated reporting.
We look forward to your comments on both our remuneration arrangements and the Remuneration Report.

Performance and Funding for Short Term Incentives
Incentives are funded by an incentive pool which represents a maximum that can be spent on incentives. Using an incentive pool provides for a fair sharing of profits between securityholders and employees by capping the amount of profits that can be paid to employees. It also forges a strong link between Group performance and Short Term Incentive (STI) outcomes because STI outcomes are influenced (up or down) by the available pool.
Group Profit after Tax (PAT) is one factor that determines the overall size of the STI pool. An assessment of overall profit make up, the quality and sustainability of earnings and other financial and non financial factors are also considered.
Group PAT was above target for 2017. Following an overall assessment of performance and in particular acknowledging the two fatal incidents which occurred, the Board approved an overall incentive pool that will deliver lower average STI awards compared to 2016, whilst PAT increased by 8.7 per cent.
CEO Scorecard and Performance in 2017
STI outcomes are based on both individual performance against personal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and on the performance of the Group (and the respective region for executives with regional responsibility). Personal KPIs for the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Senior Executives are contained in a scorecard. The Board has a rigorous process for the setting of scorecards at the beginning of the year and for the evaluation of scorecards at the end of the year. In 2017 a simpler approach to goal setting was introduced for Senior Executives, which focused efforts on fewer critical financial, people and strategic objectives.
They include items such as:
-
Financial performance;
-
Health and safety;
-
Delivery of key projects;
-
Sale of key assets;
-
Embedding operational excellence; and
-
Investing in people.
-
The Board also assesses the CEO and Senior Executives against Lendlease’s defined:
-
Leadership capabilities (including health and safety, sustainability and diversity);
-
Values; and
-
Leadership behaviours.
-
In this way, the STI outcome rewards ‘what’ is achieved as well as ‘how’ it is achieved.
Lendlease is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all of its employees. The Board considers safety leadership behaviours and outcomes in assessing the overall performance of the CEO and each Senior Executive. While the assessment is not structured formulaically or as a ‘gateway’ measure, expectations are clearly communicated to the CEO and Senior Executives that poor health and safety outcomes may lead to reduction in STI outcomes for the year.
The two fatal incidents in 2017 have been considered in assessing the CEO’s STI award. Notwithstanding the increase to PAT and continuing strong scorecard results, these incidents have contributed to the CEO’s STI award for 2017 being 100 per cent of the CEO’s target compared to an award of 125 per cent of target in 2016.
The Board’s assessment of the CEO’s scorecard is included over the page.
-
2013 has been adjusted to reflect the impact of first time adoption of the revised AASB 119 Employee Benefits standard and the new AASB 11 Joint Arrangements standard in 2014, with retrospective adjustment from 1 July 2012.
-
A$165.8 million company unfranked dividend was declared subsequent to the reporting date for June 2017.
-
EPSS (Earnings per Stapled Security) is calculated using the weighted average number of securities on issue excluding treasury securities. EPSS, including treasury securities, is reported in the Performance & Outlook section of this report.
-
Represents the movement in the Group’s security price, distribution yield and any return on capital during the financial year.
-
ROE is calculated as the annual Statutory Profit after Tax attributable to securityholders divided by the arithmetic average of beginning, half year and year end securityholders’ equity.

CEO Scorecard and Performance in 2017 continued
The Board has assessed the Chief Executive Officer’s 2017 scorecard and made an overall judgement as to whether the scorecard results fully reflect performance and appropriate management of risk. Following the Board’s assessment, the CEO’s STI awarded for the year ended 30
June 2017 was A$1,750,000 (being the combined cash and deferred components of his STI), which equated to 100 per cent of the CEO’s target STI award. Refer to the table Remuneration Awarded by the Board on page 101 to see the total remuneration awarded to the CEO for 2017.

All executives are paid in local currency but reported in the above table and graph in AUD based on the following 12 month average historic foreign exchange rates: GBP 0.60 (applied to Daniel Labbad), SGD 1.05 (applied to Anthony Lombardo), USD 0.76 (applied to Robert McNamara and Denis Hickey).
-
Fixed remuneration includes the contractually awarded amount of Total Package Value (including the value of any benefits salary sacrificed) but excludes any allowances or non monetary benefits.
-
STI cash refers to the portion of the STI award for the year ended 30 June 2017 that will be paid in cash in September 2017. As outlined on page 108, the STI cash portion reflects half of the STI awarded up to an executive’s target STI and one third of the STI awarded above their target.
-
LTI awards were granted on 1 September 2016. LTI allocation was made on a fair value basis in FY17. The value in the table above reflects the estimated fair value as distinct from the accounting fair value used in the Statutory Disclosures on page 102. The allocation was made on a fair value basis to provide a value per performance security reflective of the target value in the hands of the executives based on an estimate of the impact of the performance hurdles. Refer to page 111 for a detailed explanation of the rationale and allocation methodology. Face value is calculated using the security price at the date of grant (A$13.49). Following stakeholder feedback, the Board has resolved to allocate and disclose future LTI awards using face value.
-
Robert McNamara was KMP until 31 March 2017 when he ceased to be Chief Risk Officer. The amounts in the table represent the total remuneration awarded or received and are not pro rated for his time as KMP.

2013 Award
The 2013 LTI award (granted in September 2012) was subject to a relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle over a three and four year performance period (50 per cent each).
The four year relative TSR test was conducted in September 2016. Lendlease’s relative TSR performance achieved the 70th percentile when compared to the comparator group. As a result, 90 per cent of the tested award vested.
2014 Award
The 2014 LTI award (granted in September 2013) is subject to a Relative TSR performance hurdle and an average Return on Equity (ROE) performance hurdle. Each hurdle is tested over a three and four year performance period.
The three year Relative TSR test was conducted in July 2016. Lendlease’s relative TSR performance achieved the 74th percentile when compared to the comparator group. As a result, 98 per cent of the tested award vested.
The three year average ROE test was also conducted in July 2016. Lendlease’s three year average ROE performance was 14.5 per cent. As a result, 90.6 per cent of the tested award vested.
-
Cash salary includes the payment of cash allowances such as motor vehicle allowance and holiday pay on termination.
-
Short Term Incentive (STI) Cash refers to the portion of the STI award for the year ended 30 June 2017 that will be paid in cash in September 2017. As outlined on page 108, the STI cash portion reflects half of the STI awarded up to an executive’s target STI and one third of the STI awarded above their target.
-
Non monetary benefits may include items such as car parking, relocation and expatriate benefits (such as house rental, health insurance,
-
shipping of goods and tax return preparation), motor vehicle costs, travel benefits and annual leave.
-
Superannuation includes the value of pension contributions for non Australian based executives.
-
The amounts for security based payments reflect the accounting expense on a fair value basis.
-
Other long term benefits represent the accrual of long term leave entitlements (e.g. long service leave).
-
Superannuation benefit includes an allowance paid in lieu of pension contributions.
-
Kylie Rampa became KMP on 1 May 2016 when she was appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer, Property Australia. The information for 2016 reflects her remuneration for the time she was KMP being the period 1 May 2016 to 30 June 2016.
-
Rodney Leaver was KMP up until 30 April 2016 when he ceased to be CEO, Asia. The information for 2016 reflects his remuneration for the time he was KMP, being the period 1 July 2015 to 30 April 2016. The security based payment expense for the 2016 period has been recalculated, in line with accounting standards, to reflect full entitlement to the unvested LTI securities (but still subject to the original vesting conditions) through to the date on which he ceased to provide services to the Group.
-
Robert McNamara was KMP until 31 March 2017 when he retired. The information for the current year represents remuneration whilst he was KMP, being the period 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2017. The security based payment expense for 2017 reflects the full entitlement to the unvested LTI securities and Deferred STI (but which are still subject to the original vesting conditions).

c. Remuneration Governance
Setting Remuneration Levels
Robust governance is a critical part of Lendlease’s approach to executive remuneration.
Board
The Board has overall responsibility for executive remuneration at Lendlease. The Board assesses the performance of, and determines the remuneration outcome for, the Chief Executive Officer.
People and Culture (P&C) Committee
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. A description of the P&C Committee’s scope can be found on page 90.
Management
Management makes recommendations to the P&C Committee in relation to developing and implementing the Executive Reward Strategy and structure. The CEO also provides his recommendations on fixed pay and Short Term Incentive (STI) outcomes for his direct reports for approval by the P&C Committee.
Independent Remuneration Advisor (PwC)
The Board has appointed PwC as its independent remuneration advisor. Strict governance protocols were observed to ensure PwC’s advice to the P&C Committee was made free from undue influence by Key Management Personnel (KMP). During the year, PwC did not provide a remuneration recommendation as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 .
PwC provided advice on aspects of the remuneration of the KMP including commentary on positioning of the CEO's and Senior Executives’ remuneration against the market.
The following arrangements were made to ensure that PwC’s advice was free of undue influence:
-
PwC was engaged by, and reported directly to, the Chair of the P&C Committee;
-
The agreement for the provision of remuneration consulting services was executed by the Chair of the P&C Committee on behalf of the Board;
-
Reports delivered by PwC were provided by PwC directly to the Chair of the P&C Committee; and
-
PwC was permitted, where approved by the P&C Committee Chair, to speak to management to understand company processes, practices and other business issues and obtain management’s perspectives.
As a consequence, the Board is satisfied that advice and market data provided by PwC was made free from undue influence from any of the KMP.
We benchmark our remuneration mix and levels to confirm 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&C Committee for the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives (or during the year if there are any role changes or new executive appointments).
| Primary sources | The P&C Committee typically uses a number of sources for benchmarking CEO and Senior Executive |
|---|---|
| of data | remuneration including: |
| • Data provided by the Board’s remuneration advisor, PwC, about remuneration for similar roles in companies of | |
| a similar size: | |
| – for Australian based executives, we refer to companies listed on the 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); | |
| – comparable roles in ASX listed companies with revenue of between 50 and 200 per cent of Lendlease’s | |
| revenue; and | |
| – relevant local comparator groups for executives based in other countries. | |
| • Publicly available data for comparable roles at organisations in Australia such as CIMIC (formerly Leighton), | |
| Mirvac and Stockland; and | |
| • Published remuneration surveys, remuneration trends and other data sourced from Mercer, Aon Hewitt, FIRG, | |
| Hay Group, Avdiev and others. | |
| Market positioning | Fixed remuneration is set with reference to the market median and 75th percentile. The positioning will depend |
| upon the specifc 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 in the Executive Reward Strategy. | |
| Application of | The P&C Committee has applied a number of principles when applying remuneration benchmarks to Lendlease |
| data to Lendlease | roles. These principles include: |
| CEO and Senior Executives |
• Understanding the relative size, scale and complexity of the organisations in the data set (so that a fair |
| comparison can be made to organisations with similar global breadth and operational complexities as | |
| Lendlease); | |
| • Understanding the relative size, scale and complexity of the roles in the data set; | |
| • Recognising an individual’s tenure, position, experience and performance; | |
| • Diferentiating risk profles between roles when reviewing pay mix; | |
| • Considering key talent, including an emphasis on where we source talent from and where we lose talent to; and | |
| • Considering internal relativities, role and/or person criticality and key talent and succession risk. | |
| In addition to the above, when setting remuneration levels, the P&C Committee takes into account Group and | |
| regional performance and the positioning of the Senior Executive relative to the market. |

Remuneration Mix
Securityholder alignment and longer term focus through significant incentive deferral
The remuneration mix is structured so that a substantial portion of remuneration is delivered as Lendlease securities through either Deferred Short Term Incentives (STI) or Long Term Incentives (LTI). This, along with the Mandatory Securityholding requirement (set out on page 107), aligns the interests of executives with securityholders. Remuneration Awarded (refer to page 101) to executives is delivered over a period of up to four years, over which time executives are exposed to movements in the security price on any deferred amounts.
| Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 and beyond |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed remuneration | ||||
| Cash STI | ||||
| Deferred STI for 1 year The Chief Executive Ofcer and Senior Executives must maintain a holding of Lendlease securities until the Mandatory Securityholding requirement is achieved Deferred STI for 2 years LTI 3 year performance period LTI 4 year performance period |
||||
| The remuneration mix has been specifcally designed to align to the execution of Lendlease’s business strategy |
The Executive Reward Strategy provides for a target remuneration mix that 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 for FY17 for the Group CEO is shown below.
Percentage of Total Target Remuneration
Mandatory Securityholding
The Mandatory Securityholding requires the CEO and Senior Executives to hold a minimum amount of Lendlease securities so that they have a significant personal investment in Lendlease. Along with the Deferred STI and LTI, the Mandatory Securityholding provides additional alignment with securityholders and encourages the CEO and Senior Executives to consider long term securityholder value when making decisions.
Since the 2013 financial year, the CEO and other Senior Executives are required to accumulate and maintain a holding of Lendlease securities calculated with reference to their fixed remuneration (divided by the security price to determine a number of securities that must be held). In the case of:
-
The CEO – the requirement is 150 per cent of Total Package Value (TPV); and
-
Senior Executives – the requirement is 100 per cent of TPV or 100 per cent of base salary for Senior Executives outside of Australia. The mandatory holding for each Senior Executive is outlined in the Equity Based Remuneration tables on page 118.
Personally held securities may be counted towards the requirement. Unvested deferred securities and unvested LTI awards do not count toward this mandatory holding.
Until such time as the Senior Executive meets the Mandatory Securityholding requirements, Lendlease imposes a disposal restriction on 50 per cent of any Senior Executives’ Deferred STI or LTI that vest (for Senior Executives based in Australia). This disposal restriction means that the Senior Executive will not be able to sell these securities until such time as Lendlease agrees to lift the disposal restriction. Senior Executives based outside of Australia are required to achieve the mandatory holding requirement within six years of their appointment as Key Management Personnel (KMP).
Securities Trading Policy
The Lendlease Securities Trading Policy applies to all employees of the Lendlease Group. In accordance with the policy, Directors and Senior Executives may only deal in Lendlease securities during designated periods. Directors and Senior Executives must not enter into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic risk of unvested entitlements to Lendlease securities. No Director or Senior Executive may enter into a margin loan arrangement in respect of Lendlease securities.
Hedging
Deferred STI and LTI awards are subject to the Securities Trading Policy which prohibits executives from entering into any type of ‘protection arrangements’ (including hedging, derivatives and warrants) in respect of those awards before vesting.
The FY17 Actual remuneration mix for the Group CEO is compared to the target remuneration mix for the same period.

| Fixed Remuneration | STI cash | Deferred STI | LTI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Executives | 40% – 55% | 20% – 25% | 20% – 25% | 20% |
The remuneration mix reflects the desired remuneration mix for the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executives. To the extent that any Senior Executive is not currently paid in line with this preferred remuneration mix, it is intended that future adjustments to remuneration will be made so as to, over a period of time, move the Senior Executive toward the desired remuneration mix (while taking into account the market benchmarking outlined on page 105). Market adjustments in 2017 have been focused on moving Senior Executives towards this desired remuneration mix and substantial progress has been made in this area.
The Board has continued to shift the mix of total target remuneration towards LTI, and for the CEO, LTI has increased from 36 per cent in FY16 to 38 per cent in FY17.

d. How Executive Rewards are Linked to Performance
Short Term Incentives (STI)
STIs are based on performance against a scorecard of financial, strategic and non financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Group and regional performance
-
STI design How the STI works STI funding • The pool of funds available to reward executives under the STI plan is determined by direct reference to Group financial performance and, where relevant, regional financial performance.
-
• In determining the pool of funds available, the Board also considers the overall profit make up, the quality and sustainability of earnings and other financial and non financial factors.
-
STI targets & • STIs are based on ‘target opportunities’ which are set using the remuneration mix outlined on page 106. opportunity • The minimum possible STI outcome is zero and the maximum STI outcome is generally limited to 150 per cent of the Chief Executive Officer’s (CEO) and Senior Executives’ target STI opportunity. A payment above 150 per cent of target may be made if the Group has performed at a level considerably in excess of target and the Senior Executive has made a significant contribution to the result.
-
STI Key • STI outcomes are based on performance during the financial year, primarily measured through the use of Performance the CEO and Senior Executive scorecards. Indicators • The CEO 2017 scorecard (approved by the Board) and performance against the scorecard is set out in summary on pages 98 and 99.
-
Lendlease is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all of its employees. The Board considers safety leadership behaviours and outcomes in assessing the overall performance of the CEO and each Senior Executive. While the assessment is not structured formulaically or as a ‘gateway’ measure, expectations are clearly communicated to the CEO and Senior Executives that poor health and safety outcomes may lead to reduction in STI outcomes for the year.
-
The two fatal incidents in 2017 have been considered in assessing the CEO’s STI for FY17. Notwithstanding the increase to Profit after Tax (PAT) and continuing strong scorecard results, these incidents have contributed to the CEO’s STI award being 100 per cent of the CEO’s target compared to an award of 125 per cent of target in 2016.
-
The P&C Committee also assesses each Senior Executive against Lendlease’s defined 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.
-
How the STI is • The STI award is delivered as a mix of cash and Deferred STI. The Deferred STI may be settled in Lendlease delivered securities or in cash as determined by the Board. The significant portion (at least 50 per cent) delivered as Deferred STI encourages executives to deliver sustainable performance.
-
For STI awards up to ‘target’, 50 per cent of the STI awarded is paid in cash in September following the end of the performance year. The remaining 50 per cent is deferred. 50 per cent of the deferred portion (i.e. 25 per cent of the total award) vests one year after the grant and the other half of the deferred portion vests after two years. Deferred STI awards are held in an employee share plan trust until vesting.
-
For ‘above target’ STI awards, the above target portion is delivered one third as cash and two thirds deferred on the same basis as set out above.
-
Distributions are not paid on any unvested Deferred STI for the CEO and Senior Executives, however in calculating the amount of Lendlease securities or cash provided on vesting of any Deferred STI, the value of any distributions made during the vesting period is taken into consideration.
-
The Board's current intention is to deliver Deferred STI as Lendlease securities and Lendlease intends to purchase securities on market around September each year to satisfy these awards.
-
Malus • 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 benefit that was unwarranted or inappropriate.[1] The Board may delay vesting of any unvested Deferred STI in the event it is reviewing whether to exercise discretion to reduce or forfeit unvested awards.
-
Termination • Malus provisions work alongside the Deferred STI terms to provide discretion for 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;
-
Where an employee is terminated for poor performance, the number of unvested deferred securities can be adjusted downwards; and
-
− Deferred STI awards are forfeited by the individual if they resign during the vesting period.
-
For ‘good leavers’, the Deferred STI grant may remain on foot until the original vesting date, subject to the original terms.
-
In exceptional circumstances (such as death or total and permanent disablement), the Board may exercise its discretion and pay the award at the time of termination of employment.

Long Term Incentives (LTI)
LTI is designed to reward our Senior Executives for achievement of long term value creation for securityholders
In this section, we summarise the key features of the 2017 LTI plan (granted September 2016). The same features apply to LTI plans on foot granted in September 2014, 2015 and 2016. The table on page 112 demonstrates the key differences between these awards and other awards that remain on foot.
The key features of the 2017 LTI plan (granted September 2016) are:
LTI design How the LTI works
-
Overview • LTI awards are designed to reward executives for delivering on Lendlease’s long term strategy and for delivering sustained long term securityholder value.
-
• LTI awards align the interests of Senior Executives and securityholders because of the Senior Executives’ exposure to the Lendlease security price and through performance measures strongly tied to securityholder value.
-
• Half of the LTI will be tested against a relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) hurdle and half against an average Return on Equity (ROE) hurdle.
-
• Half of the LTI for each performance hurdle is tested after three years and half after four. • Relative TSR is measured against the Standards & Poor’s (S&P)/Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) 100 companies.
-
• Average ROE is measured against an absolute measure with progressive vesting when average ROE over the performance period is between 11 and 15 per cent.
-
Performance • An annual grant of ‘performance securities’ is made to a limited number of executives. securities • The allocation for FY17 is made on a fair value basis to provide a value per performance security more reflective of the target value in the hands of the executives. The fair value is based on an estimate of the impact of the performance hurdles. A discount of 35 per cent is applied to the relative TSR portion and a discount of 25 per cent is applied to the ROE portion. This discount was determined to be appropriate after the Board took extensive advice from external valuation experts.
-
• The Board intends that the awards be settled in Lendlease securities, although the award may be settled in cash or other means at the Board’s discretion.
-
Performance • 50 per cent of the performance securities are assessed over a three year period. period • The remaining 50 per cent of the performance securities are assessed after four years. • There is no retesting on any portion of the LTI grant. If the performance hurdle is not met at the time of testing, the awards are forfeited.
-
• The performance period was chosen as the Board believes that the timeframe appropriately reflects a balance between reward that motivates executives while reflecting the long term ‘tail’ of profitability and risk associated with ‘today’s decisions’.
-
Performance The vesting schedule is shown below: hurdle – Relative TSR 100 50 0 25 50 75 100 Percentile achieved – relative TSR vs ASX 100 Companies
-
LTI design How the LTI works Performance This is an absolute measure. The vesting schedule is shown below:
-
hurdle – Average Return on Equity 100 75 50 25 0 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% Average ROE achieved over performance period
-
Performance • The Board believes that these measures, combined with other features of ‘at risk’ remuneration at Lendlease, hurdle selection provide a suitable link to long term securityholder value creation because: - The use of relative Total Shareholder Return incentivises Senior Executives to deliver returns that outperform what a securityholder could achieve in the market and ensures management maintains a strong focus on securityholder outcomes; and
-
- Return on Equity (ROE) reflects the capital intensive nature of Lendlease’s activities and is an important long term measure of how well the management team generates acceptable earnings from capital invested and rewards decisions in respect of developing, managing, acquiring and disposing of assets.
-
• The Group’s currently stated ROE target is 10 to 14 per cent which was amended from 11 to 15 per cent when the Group’s Portfolio Management Framework was refreshed in October 2016. The amendment was made after the ROE hurdle was set for the 2017 LTI plan. The Board is comfortable that the vesting range (11 to 15 per cent) provides a realistic goal at the lower end (in the context of lower risk free rates of return, cost of capital and market consensus and bearing in mind that only 25 per cent vests on achievement at the low end of the range) and a realistic stretch at the upper end.
-
• The hurdles are reviewed annually by the Board with the aim of setting an average ROE hurdle range that will drive outperformance without incentivising excessive risk taking. The Board also has governance protocols in place to monitor levels of net debt and is conscious of the impact that debt can have on the ROE result.
-
• While the Board appreciates that there are at times different views held by different stakeholders, we believe that these measures provide the appropriate balance between market and non market measures.
-
Distributions • Distributions are not paid on unvested performance securities. • In calculating the value of the awards which vest, the value of any distributions made during the performance period is taken into consideration.
-
Malus • The Board may adjust the number of performance securities downwards prior to the date of vesting in the case of a material misstatement of the Group’s financial accounts.
-
• The Board may adjust the number of LTI awards downwards where the Board reasonably determines that delivery of part, or all of, an LTI award would result in the Senior Executive receiving an inappropriate or unwarranted benefit (having regard to their personal performance, the performance of the Group and all other benefits they have received).
-
Termination of • If the executive is terminated for cause, the unvested LTI is forfeited. employment • If the executive is terminated for poor performance, the Board can adjust unvested LTI prior to the vesting date.
-
• For ‘good, leavers’, including executives who resign but do not engage in activities that are competitive with the Group, the LTI grant may remain on foot subject to the original performance hurdle.
-
• In exceptional circumstances (such as death or total and permanent disability), the Board may exercise its discretion and pay the award at the time of termination of employment.

Prior Year Long Term Incentive Awards (2013 plan)
Key features of the 2013 plan (granted 1 September 2012) are the same as the 2017 LTI plan except for the items included in the table below.
| LTI design | How the LTI works |
|---|---|
| Performance | All Performance Securities are subject to a relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) performance hurdle. |
| hurdle | There is no average Return on Equity (ROE) hurdle. |
| Malus | The Board may adjust the number of performance securities downwards prior to the date of vesting in the case of a material misstatement of the Group’s fnancial accounts. |
| Termination of | For ‘good leavers’, the LTI grant may be pro rated upon termination of employment and remain on foot subject |
| employment | to the original performance hurdle. |
How Risk Management is Incorporated into Executive Reward
The Board has placed a significant focus on incorporating risk management into the reward framework.
Remuneration How risk management is incorporated into the remuneration component
-
Short Term • The total value of STI awards is strongly linked to Profit after Tax (PAT) and there are limits on the total Incentive incentive pool and individual STI payments. (STI) • In determining the pool of funds available, the Board also considers the overall profit make up, the quality and sustainability of earnings and other financial and non financial factors.
-
• STI outcomes are based on performance and are determined based on a scorecard of financial and non financial Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These KPIs are structured as ‘building blocks’ to achieve Lendlease’s short, medium and long term strategic and business goals.
-
STI outcomes are modified based upon an assessment of the Senior Executive against Lendlease’s defined 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.
-
• A significant portion (at least 50 per cent) of the actual STI award is retained and deferred into securities. In this way, Senior Executives continue to be incentivised to drive performance and are exposed to movements in the Lendlease security price.
-
STI awards are subject to a malus clause which enables the Board to adjust downwards the Deferred STI that vests to an individual in certain circumstances. This provision operates alongside provisions in the Deferred STI 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 STI will be forfeited; and
-
Where an employee is terminated for poor performance, the Board can adjust the Deferred STI at the time of termination.
| Long Term | • 50 per cent of the LTI is assessed over a three year period and 50 per cent is assessed over a four year |
|---|---|
| Incentive (LTI) | period. There is no retesting. |
| • As performance is assessed based on a combination of relative TSR and average 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. | |
| • Malus provisions apply to unvested LTI awards (see page 111). | |
| Mandatory | • Senior Executives are subject to a Mandatory Securityholding Policy that requires them to accumulate and |
| Securityholding | maintain a holding of Lendlease securities. This encourages them to take a long term perspective when |
| making decisions and strengthens alignment with securityholders. |
e. Executive Contracts
CEO Contract
The Board and the CEO entered into a new employment contract effective 1 September 2013. The key terms are summarised below:
| Fixed | The contract provides for fxed remuneration of A$2,034,000, including superannuation. |
|---|---|
| remuneration | There has been no change to the CEO’s fxed remuneration since this contract was agreed on 1 September |
| 2013. | |
| Incentives | STI and LTI plan participation is at the Board’s discretion. The CEO’s target Short Term Incentive (STI) for 2017 |
| was A$1,750,000 and target Long Term Incentive (LTI) for 2017 was A$2,300,000 (with the number of awards | |
| determined on a fair value basis). This results in a target 2017 remuneration package of A$6,084,000. | |
| Notice | The contract has no fxed term. The notice periods under the contract are as follows: |
| periods | Notice by CEO 6 months |
| Notice by Lendlease 12 months |
|
| Payment in lieu of notice 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. |
|
| Non compete period 12 months |
|
| Non solicitation period 12 months |
|
| Treatment of incentives The CEO may continue to receive an STI award for the latest fnancial year |
|
| based on an assessment 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 mutually agreed termination circumstances. |
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.
All Senior Executives have termination benefits that are within the limit allowed by the Corporations Act 2001 without securityholder approval.
Termination clauses in each contract describe treatment on termination based on the reason for termination (e.g. resignation, with notice, due to illness, or immediate termination for cause).
The Group may make a payment in lieu of notice. The notice period for each Senior Executive is shown below:
| Notice by | Notice by Senior | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Executives | Lendlease | Executive | Treatment on termination with notice by Lendlease |
| Current Executives | |||
| Tarun Gupta | 6 months | 6 months | Notice payment is based on Total Package Value. Payment for accrued |
| leave is based on Total Package Value less superannuation. | |||
| Denis Hickey | 6 months | 6 months | Notice payment is based on base salary and other minimum benefts as |
| required byapplicable United States legislation. | |||
| Daniel Labbad | 9 months | 6 months | Notice payment and accrued leave is based on base salary. |
| Anthony Lombardo | 12 months | 6 months | Notice payment and accrued leave is based on base salary. |
| Kylie Rampa | 6 months | 6 months | Notice payment is based on Total Package Value. Payment for accrued |
| leave is based on Total Package Value less superannuation. | |||
| Former Executives | |||
| Robert McNamara | 3 months | 3 months | Notice payment is based on base salary and other minimum benefts as |
| required byapplicable United States legislation. |

-
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.
-
The expense for the year ended 30 June 2017 reflects the full entitlement to Deferred STI which is still subject to the original vesting conditions.

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.
-
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.
-
Numbers reported in ‘Number Granted’ column differ from 2016 Annual Report due to a production error. The ‘Total Fair Value At Grant Date’ and ‘Expense For The Year Ended 30 June 2016’ were correctly reported in the 2016 Annual Report.
-
The expense for the year ended 30 June 2017 reflects the full entitlement to the unvested LTI securities which are still subject to the original vesting conditions.

Mandatory Securityholding requirements are reviewed in August each year.
-
For the Executive Director, Executives and Former Executives, securities received relate to security entitlements under employee benefit vehicles.
-
P M Coffey joined the Board in January 2017.
-
Securities received during the period were after withholding tax obligations.
-
K Rampa became a Key Management Personnel (KMP) from 1 May 2016. Mandatory Securityholding requirement for K Rampa was set for the first time in August 2016.
-
R McNamara was a KMP until 31 March 2017.
Loans to Key Management Personnel
No loans were made to Key Management Personnel or their related parties during the current year or prior year.
Other Transactions with Key Management Personnel
From time to time, Directors and executives of Lendlease or its consolidated entities, or parties related to them, may purchase goods from the Consolidated Entity. These purchases are on terms and conditions no more favourable than those entered into by unrelated customers.
g. Non Executive Directors’ Fees
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 $3.5 million per year, as approved at the 2015 Annual General Meeting.
Board and Committee Fees
| Nomination | People and Culture | Risk Management and | Sustainability | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Board | Committee | Committee | Audit Committee | Committee | |
| Chair fee $ | 640,000 | 36,000 | 48,000 | 48,000 | 48,000 |
| Member fee $ | 160,000 | Nil | 36,000 | 36,000 | 36,000 |
During 2016, the Board determined that the fees payable to the Chair and Members of the Sustainability Committee should be aligned with those paid to the Chair and Members of the People and Culture Committee and the Risk Management and Audit Committee. This change recognised the similar workload requirements, complexity and importance of each Committee to Lendlease. The change was effective from 1 July 2016.
As an international company and having regard to the material scale of individual projects, the Board program is formulated to reflect the geographic spread of the Lendlease businesses. Board meetings are scheduled in Australia and in each of the regions where Lendlease operates. Generally, the program runs over two or three days and includes a number of activities outside of the formal meeting. These include business briefings, presentations from external sources, project site visits, client meetings and networking events with employees and key stakeholders. Where deeper project reviews are required, the program may take up to five days.
All Directors are required to travel to attend Board meetings. This can involve significant additional time, particularly when visiting project sites in the regions where Lendlease operates. Where significant additional time has been spent travelling to fulfil the requirements of the program, fees are paid to compensate Directors for the extra time commitment.
The program is an important element of the Board’s activities to enable the Directors to obtain the required deep understanding of the operations within the regions.
| operations within the regions. | |
|---|---|
| Fee (each way) A$ | |
| Travel less than 4 hours | Nil |
| Travel between 4 and 10 hours | 2,800 |
| Travel over 10 hours | 6,000 |
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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT continued
g. 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:
-
All other services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and Risk Management and Audit Committee is satisfied that those services do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
-
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 Auditor's Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 , is included at the end of the Directors’ 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.

Lendlease Corporation Limited (the Company) is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 comprises the Company and its controlled entities including Lendlease 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 1 ‘Segment Reporting’. Shares in the Company and units in LLT are traded as one security under the name of Lendlease 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. The consolidated financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 28 August 2017.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which:
-
Has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and the Corporations Act 2001 ;
-
Complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board;
-
Is presented in Australian dollars (A$) , with all values rounded off to the nearest tenth of a million dollars unless otherwise indicated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191; 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 within the notes to the financial statements for the basis of valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Significant accounting policies have been:
-
Included in the relevant notes to which the policies relate, while other significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 36; and
-
Consistently applied to all financial years presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements and by all entities in the Group, except as explained in Note 35 ‘Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards’.
The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions .
-
This can affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
-
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
-
The significant accounting policies highlight information about accounting judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on reported amounts and further information about estimated uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in material adjustments within the next financial year.
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as current or non current.
-
Current assets include assets held primarily for trading purposes, cash and cash equivalents, and assets expected to be realised in, or intended for sale or use in, the course of the Group’s operating cycle. All other assets are classified as non current.
-
Current liabilities include liabilities held primarily for trading purposes, liabilities expected to be settled in the course of the Group’s operating cycle and those liabilities due within one year from the reporting date. All other liabilities are classified as non current. Further detail on classification of resident liabilities is provided in Note 13 ‘Investment Properties’.

Section A: Performance
Profit after Tax (PAT) is the key measure used to assess the Group’s performance. This section of the Financial Report focuses on disclosure that enhances a user’s understanding of PAT. Segment reporting provides a breakdown of profit and revenue by the operational activity. The key line items of the Income Statement along with their components provide detail behind the reported balances. Group performance will also impact the earnings per stapled security and dividend payout, therefore disclosure on these items has been included in this section. Further information and analysis on performance can be found in the Performance & Outlook section of the Directors’ Report.
1. Segment Reporting
Accounting Policies
The Group’s segments are Development, Construction and Investments. The Group has identified these operating segments based on 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.
Segment performance is based on PAT. PAT 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.
The operating segments are as follows:
Development
Operates in all four geographic regions. It is involved in the development of communities, inner city mixed use developments, apartments, retirement, retail, commercial assets, and social and economic infrastructure.
Construction
Operates across all four geographic regions to provide project management, design and construction services, predominately in the infrastructure, defence, mixed use, commercial and residential sectors.
Investments
Owns and/or manages investments across all four geographic regions. The Investments segment includes a leading wholesale investment management platform and also includes the Group’s ownership interests in property and infrastructure co-investments, Retirement Living and US Military Housing.
Financial information regarding the performance of each reportable segment and a reconciliation of these reportable segments to the financial statements is included below.

The amount of franking credits available for use in subsequent reporting periods as at 30 June 2017 is A$13.0 million, based on a 30 per cent tax rate (30 June 2016: A$4.8 million). This is calculated after adjusting for franking credits which will arise from the payment of income tax provided in the financial statements in the current financial year.
3. Earnings Per Share/Stapled Security (EPS/EPSS)
Accounting Policies
The Group presents basic and diluted EPS/EPSS in the Income Statement. This is a key performance measure for the Group. Refer to further details in the Finance Pillar section of the Annual Report on page 42.
Basic EPS/EPSS is determined by dividing Profit/(loss) after 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 Group currently does not have any dilutive potential ordinary shares/securities. Dilution occurs when treasury shares and employee share options are included in outstanding shares.
The issued units of Lendlease Trust (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.
4. Revenue
Accounting Policies
-
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 Construction and Development: 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. This measurement is an accounting judgement as management uses judgement to estimate expenses incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs. It also includes origination fees for infrastructure services rendered.
-
For Investments: funds, origination and asset management fee entitlements are recognised for services rendered. Investments also includes Retirement Living Deferred Management Fees (DMF). A typical DMF contract provides for an annual fee for a fixed period on the property occupied by a resident (e.g. three per cent per annum of purchase or resale price for a period up to 10 to 12 years, or 30 per cent to 36 per cent 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.
Revenue from the sale of development properties is recognised in the Income Statement when:
-
The significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;
-
The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership, nor effective control over the development properties sold;
-
The revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due; and
-
The Group can reliably measure the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction.
The measurement of revenue from the sale of development properties is another accounting judgement as it requires management to exercise judgement in valuing the individual components of a development property sale, given the due consideration to cost inputs, market conditions and commercial factors.
- Rental revenue , including lease incentives granted, is recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Other revenue primarily includes dividends/distributions and miscellaneous items. Dividend/distribution revenue is recognised when the right to receive payment is established, usually on declaration of the dividend/distribution.

5. Share of Profit of Equity Accounted Investments
Accounting Policies
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The share of profit recognised under the equity method is the Group’s share of the investment’s profit or loss based on the ownership interest held. 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 the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
For associates, this is from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases, and for joint ventures, this is from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases.

As a result of reaching the operational phase for the three International Towers Sydney, the governance structures of Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust changed. The Group reassessed its joint control conclusions, and determined that joint control no longer exists. As a result, these investments have been reclassified from Equity Accounted Investments to Other Financial Assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. The Group has recorded its share of comprehensive income in relation to these investments for the period joint control was maintained.

7. Other Expenses
Accounting Policies
Other expenses in general are recognised as incurred.
Employee Benefit Expenses
Employee benefits are expensed as the related service by the employee is provided and includes both equity and cash based payment transactions. Employee benefits recognised in the Income Statement are net of recoveries.
For cash bonuses, the Group recognises an accrued liability for the amount expected to be paid. This is based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Group’s securityholders after certain adjustments. Refer to Note 34a ‘Short Term Incentives’ for further detail.
Share Based Compensation
The Group operates equity settled share based compensation plans that are linked to Lendlease’s security price. The fair value of the equity received in exchange for the grant is recognised as an expense and a corresponding increase in equity, in the Equity Compensation Reserve. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the securities granted. The fair value is primarily determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Refer to Note 34c ‘Amounts Recognised in the Financial Statements’ for further detail. Management considers the fair value assigned to be an area of estimation uncertainty as it requires judgements on Lendlease’s security price and whether vesting conditions will be satisfied.
At each balance sheet date, the Group 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 equity over the remaining vesting period. Changes in entitlement for equity settled share based compensation plans are not recognised if they fail to vest due to market conditions not being met.
Superannuation Accumulation Plan Expense
All employees in the Australia region are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death from the Group’s superannuation accumulation plan. The majority of these employees are party to a defined contribution plan and receive fixed contributions from the Group. 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. The Group also operates a defined benefit superannuation plan, membership of which is now closed. Refer to Note 33 ‘Defined Benefit Plans’ for further detail.
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. The calculation of this recoverable amount is dependent on the type of asset. The material assets’ accounting policies will contain further information on these calculations.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement unless an asset has been previously revalued through reserves.

| Total audit, other assurance and non audit services | 6,687 | 6,219 |
Reversals of Impairment
Impairment losses on assets can be reversed (other than goodwill) when there is a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount. The increase could be due to a specific event, the indication that impairment may no longer exist of if there is a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss 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.
Operating Lease Expense
Payments made under operating leases, including lease incentives, are recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
Depreciation and Amortisation
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 to 15 years, motor vehicles over four to eight years and computer equipment over three years.

8. Finance Revenue and Finance Costs
Accounting Policies
Finance revenue is recognised as it is earned using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument. The discount is then recognised as finance revenue over the remaining life of the financial instrument.
Finance costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of new borrowings facilities. 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.
9. Taxation
Accounting Policies
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. Under current Australian income tax law, Lendlease Trust (LLT) is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, to the extent that unitholders are attributed the taxable income of LLT.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using applicable tax rates (and tax laws) at the balance sheet date in each jurisdiction, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is the expected tax payable in future periods as a result of past transactions or events and is calculated by comparing the accounting balance sheet to the tax balance sheet. Temporary differences are provided for any differences in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities between the accounting and tax balance sheets. The following temporary differences are not provided for:
- The initial recognition of goodwill;

| Total fnance costs | 108.6 | 126.2 |
| Net fnance costs | (96.6) | (109.4) |
-
The weighted average interest rate used to determine the amount of interest finance costs eligible for capitalisation was 4.9 per cent (June 2016:
-
4.5 per cent), which is the effective interest rate.
-
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 applicable tax rates (and tax laws) at the balance sheet date.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available so as the related tax asset will be realised. Deferred tax assets may include the following:
-
Deductible temporary differences;
-
Unused tax losses; and
-
Unused tax credits.
Management considers the estimation of future taxable profits to be an area of estimation uncertainty as a change in any of the assumptions used in budgeting and forecasting would have an impact on the future profitability of the Group. The Group prepares financial budgets and forecasts, covering a five year period, which are reviewed on a regular basis. These forecasts and budgets form the basis of future profitability to support the carrying value of the deferred tax assets. The performance of the Group is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions which are outside the control of the Group, including the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, ability to access funding, oversupply and demand conditions and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
Presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities can be 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, excluding LLT. As a consequence, all members of the Australian Tax Consolidation Group are taxed as a single entity.

Section B: Investment
Investment in the Development pipeline, joint ventures in property projects, the retirement sector, and more passive assets, such as property funds, drives the current and future performance of the Group. This section includes disclosures for property such as Inventories and Investment Properties and indirect property assets such as Equity Accounted Investments and Other Financial Assets contained within the Statement of Financial Position.
11. Inventories
Accounting Policies
Development Properties
Property acquired for development and sale in the ordinary course of business is carried at the lower of cost and Net Realisable Value (NRV). The cost of development properties includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the property, preparing it for sale and borrowing costs incurred.
The NRV is the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Management considers the estimation of both selling prices and costs of completion to be an area of estimation uncertainty , as these estimations take into consideration market conditions affecting each property and the underlying strategy for selling the property.
The recoverable amount of each property is assessed at each balance date and accounting judgement is required to assess whether a provision is raised where cost (including costs to complete) exceeds NRV.
Inventories are expensed as cost of sales in the Income Statement. Management uses accounting judgement in determining the following:
-
The apportionment of cost of sales through either land area or sales revenue;
-
The amount of cost of sales, which includes costs incurred to date and final forecast costs; and
-
The nature of the expenditure, which may include acquisition costs, development costs, borrowing costs and those costs incurred in preparing the property for sale.
Construction Work in Progress
The gross amount of Construction and Development work in progress consists of costs attributable to work performed, including recoverable pre contract and project bidding costs and emerging profit after providing for any foreseeable losses. In applying the accounting policies on providing for these losses, accounting judgement is required.
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.

12. Equity Accounted Investments
Accounting Policies
Equity Accounted Investments (Associates and Joint Ventures)
As outlined in Note 5 ‘Share of Profit of Equity Accounted Investments’, investments in Associates and Joint Ventures are equity accounted. The share of investment recognised under the equity method is the Group’s share of the investment’s net assets based on ownership interest held. Investments in associates and joint ventures 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 obligations in respect of the associate or joint venture.
Dividends from associates and joint ventures 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 to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate or joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. Other movements in Associates’ and Joint Ventures’ reserves are recognised directly in the Group’s consolidated reserves.
Service Concession Arrangements (SCAs)
The Group equity accounts its investment in project companies with SCAs through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). These arrangements provide facilities management and maintenance services 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.
Joint Operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
Investments in joint operations are accounted for by recognising amounts on a line by line basis in accordance with the accounting standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to the Group’s interest in the joint operation.

- As a result of reaching the operational phase for the three International Towers Sydney at Barangaroo South, the governance structures of Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust changed. The Group reassessed its joint control conclusions, and determined that joint control no longer exists. As a result, these investments have been reclassified from Equity Accounted Investments to Other Financial Assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The table below provides summarised financial information for those associates and joint ventures that are material to the Group. Material associates and joint ventures have been determined by comparing individual investment net book value with the total Equity Accounted Investment carrying value and share of profit, along with consideration of relevant qualitative factors. The information disclosed reflects the amounts presented in the financial statements of the relevant joint ventures and associates and, where indicated, the Group’s share of those amounts. They have been amended to reflect adjustments made by the Group when using the equity method, including fair value adjustments and differences in accounting policies. The nature and principal activities of the material associates and joint ventures is development of property assets.

13. Investment Properties
Accounting Policies
Investment properties on initial recognition are measured at cost, including transaction costs and subsequently stated at fair value. The fair value for all properties, except those under construction and those 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. Management considers the calculation of the fair value to be an area of estimation uncertainty . While this represents the best estimation of fair value at the reporting date, actual sale prices achieved (should the investment properties be sold) may be higher or lower than the most recent valuation. This is particularly relevant in periods of market illiquidity or uncertainty.
Rental revenue and deferred management fees from investment properties are accounted for as described in Note 4 ‘Revenue’. Expenses capitalised to properties may include the cost of acquisition, additions, refurbishments, redevelopments, borrowing costs and certain fees incurred.
Retirement Living investment properties principally comprise retirement villages (both operating villages and villages under development) held for long term income yields that are not occupied by the Group.
Resident liabilities are initially recognised as the amount paid by residents of Retirement Living investment properties to occupy the apartments and units. Subsequently they are measured at face value, being the principal paid, 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 choose to depart within 12 months. The Group’s actual commercial history has shown residents stay for an average period of 11 years in independent living units (ILUs) and six years in serviced apartments (SAs). Therefore, the portion of the resident liabilities that could be considered current represents 5 to 10 per cent of the total balance and non current represents 90 to 95 per cent of the total balance. This current and non current split of resident liabilities provides more useful and meaningful information as it better reflects the commercial substance of the Group’s liabilities.
Deferred management fees receivable on owned sites (DMF) represents amounts owed to the Group in connection with resident occupancy at retirement villages subject to long term management agreements. The DMF is calculated in accordance with resident contracts. Refer to Note 4 ‘Revenue’ for further detail.

- Resident liabilities are non interest bearing and are classified as current liabilities because any resident may choose to depart within 12 months. The Group’s actual commercial history has shown residents stay for an average period of 11 years in independent living units (ILUs) and six years in serviced apartments (SAs). Therefore, the portion of the resident liabilities that could be considered current represents 5 to 10 per cent of the total balance and non current represents 90 to 95 per cent of the total balance. This current and non current split of resident liabilities provides more useful and meaningful information as it better reflects the commercial substance of the Group’s liabilities.
Net investment properties are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer below for valuation technique.
Total net investment properties includes net Retirement Living properties (after deducting resident liabilities and related deferred revenue), A$1,738.7 million (June 2016: A$1,508.1 million), Retail property A$72.6 million (June 2016: A$71.9 million), Telecommunication tower properties A$83.3 million (June 2016 A$nil) and assets under construction A$368.1 million (June 2016: A$125.7 million).
c. Valuation Technique
The key assumptions used in the fair value assessments 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:

-
Weighted average discount rate of 13.0 per cent (June 2016: 13.3 per cent) and weighted average future growth rate of 3.6 per cent (June 2016: 3.7 per cent);
-
Average length of stay: 11 years for independent living units (June 2016: 11 years) and six years for serviced apartments (June 2016: six years); and
-
A discounted cash flow valuation model using a 50 year terminal yield.
-
For Retirement Living properties included in assets under construction, the assumptions adopted in determining the fair values at 30 June 2017 included:
-
Discount rates between 14.0 and 17.0 per cent (June 2016: 14.0 and 17.0 per cent) based on the stage of development/assessed project risk; and
-
Growth rates are generally between 3.0 and 4.0 per cent (June 2016: between 2.0 and 4.0 per cent) based on price and cost escalation assumptions determined by individual property factors.

14. Other Financial Assets
Accounting Policies
The following table summarises the accounting policies of investments the Group classifies as material financial assets. The classification classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired.
| Investment Category |
Classifcation Criteria Initial Recognition Subsequent Measurement Impairment |
|---|---|
| Financial assets at fair value through proft or loss |
Held for Trading – if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term, unless designated as hedges; refer to Note 25 ‘Hedging’ for further detail. Typically includes derivatives such as forward exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. At fair value (generally transaction price). Transaction costs are recorded as expenses when they are incurred. Fair value; any changes in fair value are refected in the Income Statement. Fair value losses are refected in the Income Statement. Designated at Fair Value Through Proft or Loss at initial recognition – either to eliminate a measurement or recognition inconsistency, or where a group of fnancial assets is managed, and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. |
| Available for Sale (AFS) |
Non derivative fnancial assets that are either designated in this category or not classifed in any other category. Typically include investments the Group does not control or have signifcant infuence over and are not managed on a fair value basis. At fair value (generally transaction price), plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue. Transaction costs are incremental costs that would only have been incurred in relation to the transaction. Fair value; unrealised gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in equity, in theFair Value Revaluation Reserve. When AFS fnancial assets are sold, transferred or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments in the reserves are included in the Income Statement as gains or losses. AFS assets are generally impaired when there is a signifcant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the asset below its cost. The cumulative loss, measured as the diference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that fnancial asset previously recognised in proft or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the Income Statement. Impairment losses previously recognised in the Income Statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the Income Statement but are recognised through other comprehensive income. |

Refer to Note 26 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ for details for basis of determining fair value and the valuation technique.
-
The Group transferred the Lendlease Retail LP investment to the Lend Lease UK Pension Scheme in June 2017, which resulted in the derecognition of the A$61.7 million investment and A$23.2 million of revaluation gains released to the Income Statement. Refer to Note 6 ‘Other Income’ and Note 31 ‘Related Party Information‘.
-
As a result of reaching the operational phase for the three International Towers Sydney at Barangaroo South, the governance structures of Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust and Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust changed. The Group reassessed its joint control conclusions, and determined that joint control no longer exists. As a result, these investments have been reclassified from Equity Accounted Investments to Other Financial Assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Section C: Liquidity and Working Capital
The ability of the Group to fund the continued investment in the property and infrastructure pipeline, invest in new opportunities and meet current commitments is dependent on available cash and access to third party capital. This section contains disclosure on the financial assets, financial liabilities, cash flows and equity that are required to finance the Group’s activities, including existing commitments, and the liquidity risk exposure associated with financial liabilities. The section also contains disclosures for the Group’s trading assets, excluding inventories, and the trading liabilities incurred as a result of trading activities used to generate the Group’s performance.
15. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Accounting Policies
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.

17. Borrowings and Financing Arrangements
Accounting Policies
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under the amortised cost method the difference between the amount initially recognised and the redemption value is recorded in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowing on an effective interest basis. Borrowings are referred to in this section using their redemption value when describing the terms and conditions.

19. Capital 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, leverage ratio, interest coverage ratio and weighted average cost of debt and maturity profile. These are all taken into account when the Group makes decisions on how to invest its capital and evaluates 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 Moody’s/Fitch long term credit ratings at 30 June 2017 are Baa3/BBB- respectively (June 2016: Baa3/BBB-).
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. For further information on how the Group allocates and manages capital, refer to details of the Portfolio Management Framework in the Financial Pillar (page 42) and Performance & Outlook (pages 64 to 75) in this Annual Report.
20. Liquidity Risk Exposure
Further information on Liquidity Risk is disclosed in Note 24 ‘Financial Risk Management’. As disclosed in Note 27 ‘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 2017, 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$nil (June 2016: A$nil) against letter of credit facilities.
18. Issued Capital
Accounting Policies
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.

a. Issuance of Securities
As at 30 June 2017, the Group had 583.5 million Stapled Securities on issue, equivalent to the number of Lendlease Corporation shares and Lendlease Trust (LLT) 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.
b. 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 5 September 2017. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of Lendlease Stapled Securities traded (on the Australian Securities Exchange) for the period of five 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.
c. Terms and Conditions
Issued capital for Lendlease 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.

The carrying amount of trade and other payables excludes A$822.4 million of current and A$533.7 million of non current amounts (June 2016: A$660.0 million of current and A$980.4 million of non current amounts) as they do not meet the definition of a financial liability under Australian Accounting Standards.
-
Resident liabilities are non interest bearing and are classified as current liabilities because any resident may choose to depart within 12 months. The Group’s actual commercial history has shown residents stay for an average period of 11 years in independent living units (ILUs) and six years in serviced apartments (SAs). Therefore, the portion of the resident liabilities that could be considered current represents 5 to 10 per cent of the total balance and non current represents 90 to 95 per cent of the total balance. This current and non current split of resident liabilities provides more useful and meaningful information as it better reflects the commercial substance of the Group’s liabilities. The balance includes retirement village total resident liabilities of A$4,573.0 million (June 2016: A$4,119.5 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 (refer to Note 13 ‘Investment Properties’).
Other contractually committed cash flows the Group is exposed to are detailed in Note 21 ‘Commitments’.

Accounting Policies
Loans and receivables, which include trade and other receivables , are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not equity securities. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor with no intention of trading the receivable. Other receivables include receivables related to investment management, property development, and miscellaneous items.
Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts over the term of the loans and receivables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as revenue over the remaining term.
A provision for impairment of loans and 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 loans and 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 cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate where relevant. The amount of the provision is recognised in the Income Statement.
Retentions receivable on construction contracts represent deposits held by the Group until the satisfaction of conditions specified in the contract are rectified.

Of the past due amount, A$232.5 million was not impaired (30 June 2016: A$201.2 million). ‘Past due’ is defined under accounting standards to mean any amount outstanding for one or more days after the contractual due date. Of the total trade debtors, 5.0 per cent (30 June 2016: 4.5 per cent) are aged greater than 90 days. Other than trade debtors, no other loans and receivables are considered past due at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: A$nil).

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.

Accounting Policies
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 and other payables are settled in the normal course of business. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash outflows over the term of the trade and other payables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other payables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as an expense over the remaining term.
Construction Revenue – Amounts Due to Customers
Construction contracts where the total progress billings issued to customers (together with foreseeable losses if applicable) on a project exceed the costs incurred to date plus recognised profit on the contract are recognised as a liability.
Retentions
Retentions are amounts payable for the purpose of security and for the provision of defects in accordance with contract terms. Release of retention amounts are in accordance with contractual terms.
Other
Other primarily relates to unearned income and deposits received in advance on presold apartments including Pre-sold Lendlease Apartments Cash flows (PLLACes) transactions. These amounts will be recognised as income in line with the ‘Revenue from the sale of development properties’ accounting policy in Note 4 ‘Revenue’.

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Group’s overall financial risk management strategy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise adverse effects on the Group’s performance. Treasury policies have been approved by the Board for managing this risk. This section contains disclosures of financial risks the Group is exposed to and how the Group manage these risks. The impact of contingent liabilities is also considered in this section.
24. Financial Risk Management
The Group operates across numerous jurisdictions and markets. The Lendlease Asset and Liability Committee oversees the management of the Group’s Treasury risks, within the parameters of a Board approved Treasury Policy, and maintains a Group wide framework for financial risk management and reviews issues of material risk exposure within the scope of the Treasury Policy. A summary of key risks identified, exposures and management of exposures is detailed in the table 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 per cent fluctuation (June 2016: 10 per cent 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.
A 10 per cent movement in the average foreign exchange rates would have impacted the Group’s Profit after Tax as follows.

June 2016 has been adjusted to separate the comparative for ‘Other’ to disclose the Group’s exposure to MYR.
-
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 is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk on either a geographic or industry specific basis.
-
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.
-
There was A$nil million impairment recorded during the year against other financial assets (June 2016: A$3.4 million).
-
Refer to Note 22 ‘Loans and Receivables’ for information relating to impairment on loans and receivables.
-
In certain circumstances, the Group will hold either financial or non financial assets as collateral to further mitigate the potential credit risk on selected transactions. During the current and prior year, the Group did not hold financial or non financial assets as collateral. At any point in time, the Group will hold other collateral such as bank guarantees and performance bonds to mitigate potential credit risk as a result of default by a counterparty or otherwise.
c. Interest Rate Risk Exposure
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on its financial assets and liabilities is set out as follows.
| The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on itsfinancial assets and liabilitiesis set o | ut as follows. |
|---|---|
| CARRYING AMOUNT June 2017 A$m June 2016 A$m |

|
| Variable Rate Financial assets |
760.1 676.9 |
| Financial liabilities | (87.0) (191.0) |
| 673.1 485.9 |
Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2017 it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s equity and Profit after Tax by A$5.1 million (June 2016: A$3.8 million decrease in the Group’s equity and Profit after Tax). A one percentage point decrease in interest rates would have increased the Group’s equity and Profit after Tax by A$5.1 million (June 2016: A$3.8 million increase in the Group’s equity and Profit after Tax). 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.
25. Hedging
Accounting Policies
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. Hedge accounting recognises the offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the hedged item. The accounting for hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or investment hedges.
The Group currently applies hedge accounting under AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement . The Group has minimal hedges designated as fair value. The Group primarily uses forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges for highly probable sale, purchase and dividend transactions. The Group also uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge cross border intercompany loans and transactions which mainly net off in the Income Statement. Interest rate swaps are used to manage the Group’s exposure to interest rates arising from borrowings. These are treated as cash flow hedges and are mainly on borrowings within Equity Accounted Investments. The Group has foreign exchange derivative contracts primarily held in GBP, USD, EUR, SGD, MYR and JPY at reporting date to hedge specific foreign currency exposures. The total gross payable exposure is A$465.2 million (June 2016: payable A$713.7 million). There are 23 foreign currency contracts that will mature in more than one year (June 2016: 39 foreign currency contracts).

26. Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies for financial instruments held at fair value are included in Note 14 ‘Other Financial Assets’ and Note 25 ‘Hedging’. Management considers the valuation of the financial instruments to be an area of estimation uncertainty . While this represents the best estimation of fair value at the reporting date, the fair values may differ if there is volatility in market prices or foreign exchange rates in future periods.
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.

27. 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 to 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 of the Company’s subsidiaries.
-
Various actions have been commenced in which damages, compensation or contribution is sought from various subsidiaries of the Company (LLP entities) in respect of transactions entered into in mid 2007 in relation to a number of retirement villages which were at that time part of the Prime Trust portfolio. The liquidator of Australian Property Custodian Holdings Limited (Receivers and Managers Appointed) (Controllers Appointed) (In Liquidation) (APCH) commenced three proceedings in which claims are made against the LLP entities. One proceeding was permanently stayed on 22 December 2015, a decision which the liquidator appealed and subsequently lost. Accordingly that proceeding is finalised. In the remaining two proceedings, APCH has made allegations against third parties in relation to the same transactions and those third parties have made contribution claims against the LLP entities. The LLP entities are vigorously defending these proceedings. The relevant transactions all occurred prior to the LLP entities becoming subsidiaries of the Company and at the relevant time the LLP entities were controlled by APCH or entities related to William Lewski, a director of the LLP entities at the time.
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.
a. Basis of Determining Fair Value
The determination of fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are summarised as follows:
-
The fair value of unlisted equity investments, including investments in property funds, is determined based on an assessment of the underlying net assets, future maintainable earnings and any special circumstances pertaining to the particular investment;
-
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
-
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 and include consideration of counterparty risk adjustments.
b. Fair Value Measurements
The different levels for valuation method have been defined as follows:
-
Level 1: The fair value is determined using the unadjusted quoted price for an identical asset or liability in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2: The fair value is calculated using predominantly observable market data other than unadjusted quoted prices for an identical asset or liability; and
-
Level 3: The fair value is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data.
During the year, there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies.

Section E: Basis of Consolidation
This section provides information on how the Group structure affects the financial position and performance of the Group as a whole. The disclosures detail the types of entities and transactions included in the consolidation and those excluded.
28. Consolidated Entities
Accounting Policies
The Group consolidation comprises all subsidiaries controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company:
-
Has the power to direct the relevant activities such as key operating, financial and investing decisions;
-
Has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee such as dividends, loans and fees; and
-
Has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of returns.
In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Management uses accounting judgement in determining whether the Group controls an entity by applying the above control criteria and reviewing the substance of its relationship with the entity.
-
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 financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies with adjustments made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that may exist.
-
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.
-
The material consolidated entities of the Group listed below were wholly owned during the current and prior year. Refer to the following section for details on the disposal of entities.

29. Employee Benefit Vehicles
The Company sponsors a number of employee benefit vehicles, including employee security plans and employee security ownership vehicles. These vehicles while not legally controlled, are currently required to be consolidated for accounting purposes.
a. Employee Security Plans
As at 30 June 2017, employees own approximately 1.24 per cent (June 2016: 5.58 per cent) of the issued capital of the Group through various active Lendlease employee security plans and ownership vehicles, details of which are outlined below.
-
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 Lendlease subscriptions and employee salary sacrifice contributions.
-
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.
-
Employee Share Acquisition Plan (STI) (ESAP STI): ESAP STI was established in July 2014 for the purpose of acquiring and allocating securities granted as the deferred component of Executive Short Term Incentive (STI) awards which are funded by Lendlease subscriptions. Securities are currently allocated to employees across Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
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. 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.
- Lendlease Trust is a consolidated entity of the Group, which, as the parent entity, is to control it. Lendlease Trust is not wholly owned.
During the current and prior year, there were no acquisitions of material consolidated entities.

b. Employee Security Ownership Vehicles
In addition to the plans discussed above, Lendlease has established a range of employee security ownership vehicles, including Lendlease Retirement Benefit Fund (RBF) and Lend Lease Employee Investment Trust (EIT). During the financial year, changes occurred in relation to these two entities as outlined below.
-
RBF was established in 1984 with shareholder approval for the benefit of employees. RBF holds Lendlease securities. The Lendlease 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 has discretion as to the distribution of the RBF Funds. In 1992, a deed poll was executed which allows for the distribution of the income of RBF to the Company to fund employee benefit activities through the Lendlease Foundation. As a result of changes to the constitution and governance structure of the RBF trustee on 22 June 2017, Lendlease currently does not have control of RBF and therefore RBF is currently not required to be consolidated for accounting purposes.
-
EIT was established in 1985 as a benefit vehicle to enable employees to invest in the Group. In 1992, a deed poll was executed which allows for distribution of the unallocated income of EIT to the Company to fund employee benefit activities through the Lendlease Foundation. On a change of control of the Group, the EIT trustee may (but is not required to) terminate the trust and distribute allocated proceeds to employees and unallocated proceeds to other benefit vehicles such as RBF. There are no current employee allocations. Between September 2016 and December 2016, EIT progressively sold down its interests in Lendlease securities and no longer holds any securities in Lendlease Group. Any payments out of EIT are an obligation of EIT and not of the Group, and cannot exceed the assets of EIT of A$12.3 million as at 30 June 2017 (June 2016: A$149.2 million). No contingency is recorded in these financial statements for potential payments on a change of control of the Group, as the termination of EIT in such circumstances, and the subsequent distribution to other vehicles is entirely at the discretion of the EIT trustee and the Group has no obligation in respect of any payments from EIT.
-
The EIT and RBF arrangements are subject to periodic review to assess their ongoing role and operation.

Accounting Policies
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets and contingent liabilities of the acquired business 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 (CGU) (or groups of CGU), that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. CGUs are an identifiable group of assets that generate cash associated with the goodwill. Management considers this is an area of estimation uncertainty as these calculations involve an estimation of the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated. The Construction CGU uses the value in use basis, which requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the recoverable amount.
Management agreements and other intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses (see Note 7 ‘Other Expenses’). 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.

c. 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 2017. Based on information available and market conditions at 30 June 2017, 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.
Accounting Policies
Group companies operate pension plans. The plans are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee administered funds as determined by periodic actuarial calculations.
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.
The asset or liability recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation i.e. ‘the pension liability’ at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The present value of the pension liability 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
-
Have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated at least annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method, which in simplistic terms proportions the benefit based on service. Management considers the valuation of defined benefit plans undertaken by the actuaries to be an area of estimation uncertainty as a number of key assumptions must be adopted to determine the valuation.
Actuarial losses/(gains) will arise where there is a difference between previous estimates and actual experience, or a change to assumptions in relation to demographic and financial trends. These actuarial losses/(gains) are recognised in the period they occur, directly in other comprehensive income as remeasurements. They are included in retained earnings in the Statement of Changes in Equity and in the Statement of Financial Position.
Past service costs are recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

| Total defned beneft plan asset | 64.3 | 7.5 |
- The Lend Lease UK Pension Scheme was in a net deficit with a defined benefit plan liability of A$3.4 million at 30 June 2016.
Growth Rate
The terminal value growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the five year period is 3.0 per cent (June 2016: 3.0 per cent). 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 13.0 per cent to 22.0 per cent (June 2016: between 14.0 per cent and 20.0 per cent). 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.
a. Lend Lease UK Pension Scheme
Lendlease Construction Holdings (Europe) Limited (UK Construction) sponsors a funded defined benefit pension scheme (the Scheme) for qualifying UK employees. The Scheme is administered by a separate Board of Trustees, which is legally separate from UK Construction. The Scheme’s Trustees are composed of representatives of both the employer and employees. The Trustees, are required by law to act in the interest of all relevant beneficiaries and are responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets, plus the day to day administration of the benefits.
The Scheme is a funded defined benefit scheme, with the final salary section providing retirement benefits based on final salary and the index linked section providing retirement benefits based on career average salary. A separate section, the Personal Investment Section, provides retirement benefits on a defined contribution basis. The UK Construction’s contributions to members’ Personal Investment Fund accounts are not included in these disclosures.
The final salary section closed to future accrual on 31 August 2008 and the index linked section closed to future accrual on 31 January 2012. There were no Scheme amendments affecting defined benefits payable, curtailments or settlements during the year. UK Construction pays deficit funding contributions plus four per cent of members’ basic salaries to cover the Scheme’s expected administration costs and costs of benefits payable on death in service. The Scheme expects to pay A$17.8 million in contributions to its defined benefit plan in 2018. This includes the annual deficit recovery payment of A$13.7 million, which was agreed as an annual payment until 2020 following the triennial actuarial valuation for 31 March 2014.
The defined benefit plan is exposed to actuarial risk and market (investment) risk. The information that follows provides additional detail on risk.

| Average pension increase in payments (%) | 2.6 | 2.3 |
| Future mortality (years): | ||
| Male | 25.4 | 25.3 |
| Female | 27.2 | 27.1 |
The liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yield. If assets underperform, this yield will create a deficit.
A decrease in corporate bond yield will increase the value placed on the Scheme’s liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the Scheme’s corporate bond holdings. The majority of the Scheme’s benefit obligations are linked to inflation and higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities, although in most cases this will be capped to protect against extreme inflation. The majority of the assets are either unaffected by or loosely correlated with inflation, meaning that an increase in inflation will also increase the deficit. The majority of the Scheme’s obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the liabilities. The mortality assumptions are based on standard mortality tables, which allow for expected future mortality improvements. The assumption is that a member aged 63 will live for a further 25.4 years (June 2016: 25.3 years) if they are male and 27.2 years if they are female (June 2016: 27.1 years). At 30 June 2017, the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 19 years (June 2016: 19 years).
vii. Sensitivity Analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligations by the amounts shown below.
| 0.1% Increase in Discount Rate A$m 0.1% Decrease in Discount Rate A$m 0.1% Increase RPI Infation and Pension Payment A$m |
0.1% Decrease RPI Infation and Pension Payment A$m 1 Year Increase in Future Mortality A$m |
1 Year Decrease in Future Mortality A$m |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| June 2017 Defned beneft asset 22.4 (22.9) (18.3) 14.1 (35.1) 35.1 |
|||
| June 2016 Defned beneft obligations (19.5) 20.7 16.0 (17.3) 33.6 (34.1) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation, as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Non pensioner benefits are linked to RPI in the period up to retirement. Once in payment, pension increases are linked to RPI but with a zero per cent floor and different caps applying to different periods of pensionable service. The inflation sensitivity reflects a change in RPI inflation and the associated increases in payment.
34. Employee Benefits
Detailed information regarding the Group’s Executive Reward Strategy is provided in the Remuneration Report within the Directors’ Report. The key incentive plans are as follows:
-
Short Term Incentives (STI); and
-
Long Term Incentives (LTI).
a. Short Term Incentives (STI)
The STI plan is an annual incentive plan whereby a number of employees receive benefits that are dependent upon the achievement of both Lendlease financial and non financial targets and individual goals. The total value of the potential benefit varies by individual and is tested against relevant market levels for each role.
-
The STI plan comprises a cash component paid in September following year end. For more senior employees, where the potential benefit is typically higher, the plan also includes a deferred component.
-
Deferral periods are generally for one or two years. The deferred component is normally awarded as Lendlease securities and in some instances as cash. Securities are held in Lendlease employee security plan trusts on behalf of employees for the deferral period (refer to Note 29a ‘Employee Security Plans’). For employees to receive the full deferred component, they must generally be employed by the Group at the time of vesting.
The investment funds target an absolute level of return. The plan assets can be categorised as Level 1, where the fair value is determined using an unadjusted quoted price for an identical asset, or Level 2, where the fair value is derived either directly or indirectly from observable inputs. At year end, approximately A$1,137.1 million of total plan assets were categorised as Level 2 (June 2016: A$875.5 million). UK Construction and Trustees have agreed a long term strategy for reducing investment risk as and when appropriate. This includes an asset liability matching policy that aims to reduce the volatility of the funding level of the pension plan by investing in assets that perform in line with the liabilities of the plan so as to protect against inflation being higher than expected. The current benchmark allocation is 75.0 per cent growth assets and 25.0 per cent matching assets (June 2016: 55.0 per cent growth assets and 45.0 per cent matching assets).

b. Long Term Incentives (LTI)
The LTI plan is designed to:
-
Motivate executives to achieve the Group’s long term strategic goals and provide reward where the Group delivers better securityholder value than its peers; and
-
Align the interests of executives and securityholders, given that the value received is linked to the Group’s security price.
Arrangements for LTI awards
==> picture [512 x 486] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
LTI design How the LTI works
Performance • An annual grant of ‘performance securities’ is made to a limited number of executives.
Securities • The Board intends that the awards be settled in Lendlease securities, although the award may be settled in cash or
other means at the Board’s discretion.
• On vesting, each performance security entitles executives to one Lendlease stapled security, or at the Board’s
discretion, cash or other instruments of equivalent value.
• In the event of a change in control of the Group, the Board has the discretion to determine whether the vesting of
some or all performance securities should be accelerated.
Performance • 50 per cent of the performance securities are assessed over a three year period. If the performance hurdle is not
Period fully achieved at this time, those performance securities that have not vested will lapse.
• The remaining 50 per cent of the performance securities are assessed after four years.
• If the performance hurdle is not met, the awards are forfeited.
• There is no retesting on any portion of the LTI grant.
Termination of • If the executive resigns or is terminated for cause, the unvested LTI is forfeited.
Employment • If the executive is terminated and if the Board considers vesting would provide a benefit that was unwarranted or
inappropriate, the Board can adjust unvested LTI prior to the vesting date.
• For ‘good leavers’, the LTI grant may remain on foot, subject to the original performance hurdles.
• In exceptional circumstances (such as death or total permanent disability), the Board may exercise discretion and
settle the award at the time of termination of employment.

35. Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards
New and Revised Accounting Standards Adopted 1 July 2016
The Group adopted AASB 2014-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations and AASB 2015-2 Amendments to AASB 101 for the year ended 30 June 2017. There is no financial impact on the Group following adoption of these amendments. Additional disclosures have been included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income as required by AASB 2015-2 for joint ventures and associates share of comprehensive income.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Adopted

c. Amounts Recognised in the Financial Statements
LTI awards are valued using 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 Lendlease Group security price, a risk free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield.
During the financial year ended 30 June 2017, a A$47.1 million expense was recognised in the Income Statement in relation to equity settled security based payment awards (June 2016: A$43.0 million).

Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rate on the date of the transactions. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars at balance date.
Foreign exchange gains or losses resulting are recognised in the Income Statement for monetary assets and liabilities such as receivables and payables, except for qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges in foreign operations that are recognised in other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 25 ‘Hedging’ for further detail.
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 that are not presented in Australian dollars (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) are translated as follows:
-
Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of transaction rate, in which case revenue and expenses are translated at the date of the transactions);
-
Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at balance date; and
-
All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, in the foreign currency translation reserve.
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.
b. 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 that are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards . We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report.
We are independent of Lendlease Group and Lendlease Corporation Limited in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia.

| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Group performs various building, engineering and services construction contract works (projects) for a wide range of customers. The Group contracts in a variety of ways. Each project has a different risk profile based on its individual contractual and delivery characteristics. We focused on construction revenue and profit recognition as a key audit matter due to the judgment required by us in assessing the range of factors that impact the Group’s estimate of costs and revenue, and the potential impact on profit. Estimating total costs to complete during project life is complex and requires judgment. Typical cost estimates include labour, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and project overheads. Changes to these cost estimates could give rise to variances in the amount of revenue and profit/loss recognised. Judgment is also involved by us in assessing the amount of revenue to be recognised specifically in relation to contractual variations and claims revenue, which has not been formally agreed with the customer at the reporting date. |
Our procedures included: • Evaluation and testing of management’s review and approval of revenue and cost forecasting; • Selection of a sample of contracts for testing using: -Data Analytic routines based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, related to size and risk of projects; and -The Group’s project reporting tool. • For the sample selected, we: -conducted visits to a selection of project sites to understand project schedule, forecast revenue/cost and risks and opportunities and worked with KPMG engineering specialists where required; -read relevant contract terms and conditions to evaluate the inclusion of individual characteristics and project risks in the Group’s estimates; -tested forecast costs for labour, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and project overheads by comparing to actual incurred spend and committed future contracts; -tested the variations and claims included within revenue against the criteria for recognition in the accounting standards via assessment of: o correspondence between the Group and the customer; and o the Group’s legal and external experts’ reports received on contentious matters. |

| The key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
| The Group develops for sale both built form product (for example residential apartments, retirement villages and commercial/retail buildings) and residential land communities. As development revenue is recognised based on an assessment of when the risks and rewards of ownership transfer to the purchaser an assessment of the contractual terms of sale and of settlement risk is required. This was a key audit matter due to the number of judgments required by us in assessing development revenue and profit recognition, in particular for commercial/retail building sales and residential apartments. For residential apartments we note that in the current year market commentary suggests potential heightened settlement risk of residential apartments compared to prior year. The assessment of profit recognition requires judgment as cost allocation is typically a function of total forecast project profit based on either revenue or area estimation. |
Our procedures included: • Evaluation and testing of management’s review and approval of development revenue and cost forecasting; • Selection of a sample of developments based on quantitative and qualitative information such as transaction size, potential settlement risk and the complexity of the contractual terms of sale; • For the sample selected we: -compared revenue recognised to contractual terms of sale and cash settlements; - assessed the Group’s determination of the risks and rewards of ownership transfer by a detailed analysis of the contractual terms of sale against the criteria in the accounting standards; -assessed the customers’ credit risk including evaluating public information as to the financial position of the purchaser in the context of the level of deposits/instalments received by the Group; -tested settlement risk by performing statistical sampling of residential apartment sale debtors recorded as received post balance date and checking to post year end cash proceeds; -assessed the Group’s cost allocation methodology by comparing costs allocated to sales recognised in the year relative to the total project, against the Group’s accounting policy and the requirements of the accounting standards. |

This was a key audit matter due to many developments being long term which increases the level of forecasting judgment and audit complexity in estimating sales prices and future costs to complete the development.

Asset Valuation
Refer to Note 13 ‘Investment Properties’ (A$6,967.4m), Note 14 ‘Other Financial Assets’ (A$1,236.3m) and Note 26 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ to the financial report
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Group is required to assess the value of investment properties, available for sale investments, and fair value through profit or loss investments at each reporting date. Valuations of assets are generally performed using internal valuation methodologies (discounted cash flow or capitalised income approach) or through the use of external valuation experts. External valuations are obtained on a rotational basis by management each year, with the remaining investments being valued internally.
Our procedures included:
• Assessment of the scope, competence and objectivity of external valuation experts engaged by management for assets valued by external valuation experts;
- Evaluating and testing management’s review and approval of internal valuations based on the Group’s policies for internally valued assets;
• Assessment of the valuation methodology for consistency with accounting standards and industry practice for that asset’s class;
The Group’s investment properties are primarily comprised of retirement villages and the key assumptions used in determining their value are discount rates, changes in village residents, current units/homes market prices and growth rates.
- Comparing, with market data published by commercial real estate agents and/or our knowledge of the nature of the asset and its historical performance, key assumptions such as:
Other financial assets are predominantly investments in entities which in turn own commercial and retail property. Accordingly the valuation assumptions are predominantly the capitalisation of earnings rates, discount rates, future rental income, capital expenditure projections and leasing incentives. The valuation of the properties held by these entities directly impacts the fair value of the Group’s interests in these assets.
-
discount rates
-
changes in village residents
-
units/homes current market prices
growth rates
-
capitalisation of earnings rates
-
future rental income
-
capital expenditure projections
The valuations of these assets is a key audit matter as they:
-
leasing incentives
-
are judgmental,
-
contain assumptions with estimation uncertainty, which are inherently challenging to audit, and
-
lead to additional audit effort often due to the high number of differing assumptions and models, across varying asset classes.

Lendlease Group is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and trades under the code LLC.
In the United States, Lendlease 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).
Voting Rights
Each stapled security in Lendlease Group and each ADR entitles the holder to one vote. Rights to Lendlease Group securities granted under Lendlease Group’s employee equity incentive plans do not carry voting rights.
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. Lendlease securityholders are able to reinvest their distributions to acquire more Lendlease 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 Lendlease 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 Lendlease website. Please note that the Share Election Plan and the Share Purchase Plan are currently suspended.
Key Sources of Information for Securityholders
