Trading Update

Lend Lease had a successful year implementing its strategy through key acquisitions in Australia and the United States, recycling mature assets and achieving key trading milestones on a number of its development projects in Australia, Asia and Europe.

Australia

  • Operating profit after tax increased by A$34.5 million to A$281.4 million;

  • In December 2010, Lend Lease announced it had entered into an agreement with Bilfinger Berger SE to acquire 100% of Valemus Australia, the parent company of Abigroup, Baulderstone and Conneq, that together form the Group’s infrastructure business in Australia. The acquisition was completed on 10 March 2011 and added capability in the infrastructure sector and diversified Lend Lease’s position in the construction market;

  • Projects secured in the infrastructure and project management and construction businesses include the circa A$900 million contract for Queensland Children’s Hospital in Brisbane, rail and road projects with a value in excess of A$200 million and a A$122 million tertiary education project for the University of New South Wales;

  • The New South Wales (NSW) Government approved the Barangaroo South Concept Plan amendment, along with approval for the first commercial building and basement and bulk excavation works on the site. The favourable conclusion of a NSW Government Review will allow the A$6 billion project to proceed on schedule;

  • All conditions precedent were met for the project agreement for the Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland’s urban regeneration project in Brisbane and construction on the project has commenced; and

  • Completed the 58,000 sqm Darling Quarter mixed use development in Sydney.

Asia

  • Operating profit after tax increased by A$12.9 million to A$46.1 million;

  • In Singapore, the purchase of the Jurong Gateway mixed-use site in conjunction with the Lend Lease managed Asian Retail Investment Fund was finalised; and

  • The Group sold its 25% interest in the PoMo retail centre.

Europe

  • Operating profit after tax increased by A$18.8 million to A$137.4 million;

  • The Lend Lease managed UK Infrastructure Fund was launched, raising £220 million of capital. The Fund purchased a number of established healthcare, education and accommodation assets from Lend Lease;

  • Construction contracts secured include the £160 million commercial construction management contract for British Land and a £78 million contract to build the Scottish National Arena;

  • The Group sold its interest in the Lend Lease Overgate Partnership for a consideration of A$71.5 million; and

  • Continued to progress major projects, signing a conditional agreement with the London Borough of Southwark for the regeneration of Elephant & Castle and meeting all conditions on the Framework Agreement for the second stage of the development of The International Quarter, Stratford City London.

Americas

  • Operating profit after tax increased by A$125.9 million to A$156.6 million;

  • • Agreement to sell the 50% interest in the King of Prussia shopping centre which contributed a profit after tax of A$101.7 million;

  • The infrastructure development business continued to add to its pipeline in the US military housing privatisation and lodgings sectors;

  • Acquisition of Lend Lease DASCO, a developer of medical office buildings and outpatient care facilities with a strong development pipeline that will position Lend Lease in the rapidly growing healthcare sector; and

  • Despite challenging construction market conditions, Lend Lease secured a number of projects including the US$186 million contract for Delta Air Lines at JFK airport in New York.

Integration of infrastructure business

The integration of the infrastructure business in Australia is progressing well and the Group is focused on delivering on the earnings accretion announced at the time of the acquisition. As at 31 July 2011, the infrastructure business had backlog revenue of A$6.0 billion with another A$0.8 billion of work pending with significant visibility on future pipeline.

Group Financials

The Group is in a strong liquidity position with cash reserves of over A$1 billion and undrawn committed bank facilities of A$815.7 million. The average maturity of the Group’s drawn debt facilities is five years and the Group’s interest coverage of 6.7 times comfortably exceeds the Group’s banking covenant and management target.

Group Chief Financial Officer, Brad Soller, stated that despite continuing uncertainty and volatility in the global markets, the Group raised A$1.2 billion of new debt facilities and refinanced the infrastructure business bonding lines with a new A$0.7 billion syndicated bonding facility. This demonstrates the confidence of lenders in the financial strength of the Group.

The Group remains in a strong financial position and will continue to invest in its development pipeline.

Outlook

Commenting on the outlook, Group CEO and Managing Director, Steve McCann said Lend Lease is in very good shape and well placed to deliver growth for securityholders, despite the uncertainty in global markets.

“In 2011, Lend Lease continued to make significant progress on strategy, completing the acquisition of the infrastructure business in Australia, progressing major projects and focusing on portfolio management, “said Mr McCann.

“We have clear priorities over the next 12 to 24 months to achieve our strategic aim of becoming the leading international property and infrastructure group and deliver on our exceptional development pipeline.

“In Australia, most of our sectors are presenting attractive opportunities, particularly infrastructure. Despite some short term impact from weak consumer sentiment, the outlook across our businesses in Australia is positive.

“In Asia there are strong market fundamentals, however the economic outlook in the US and Europe remains uncertain.

“In Lend Lease’s business in the Americas we continue to see some signs of a market recovery, however conditions remain patchy. In the United Kingdom Lend Lease is well placed with our major urban regeneration projects that will be developed as the market recovers.

“We are positive about the Group’s operating outlook and remain focused on optimising securityholder returns. We are well on our way to delivering on our ROE target of 15% over the medium term,” added Mr McCann.
