Stapling of the Company Shares and LLT Units
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 as non controlling interests in the Consolidated Entity’s Statement of Financial Position within equity, notwithstanding that the unitholders of LLT are also the shareholders of the Company.

The interim distribution is comprised of a trust distribution of 12.0 cents per unit payable by LLT. No dividend has been declared by the Company.
The record date for determining entitlement to the interim distribution is 4 March 2019 (Record Date) and the distribution is payable on 20 March 2019.
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 March 2019. Subject to the rules of the DRP, 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. Stapled securities issued under the DRP rank equally with all other stapled securities on issue.

2. Dividends/Distributions
An unfranked interim distribution of $67.7 million (December 2017: $198.6 million unfranked) has been approved by the Directors. The interim distribution comprising of a trust distribution of 12.0 cents per unit from Lendlease Trust will be paid on 20 March 2019 (December 2017: 29.4 cents per share from the Company and 4.6 cents per unit from Lendlease Trust paid on 22 March 2018). No dividend has been declared by the Company.
3. Events subsequent to Balance Date
Subsequent to balance date, the Group has announced that its Engineering and Services business is no longer a required part of the Group’s strategy. As the Group works through the implications of this decision, it currently estimates that it may incur future restructuring costs of between $450 million - $550 million. This is a preliminary estimate.
These restructuring costs may include implementation costs, such as technology and system costs, employee costs and advisor costs, and costs to conclude customer contracts as a result of the Group’s decision. This estimate excludes any anticipated revenue from ongoing operations or proceeds received for the business.

It was a challenging half year for the Group with Profit after Tax of $15.7 million for the period ended 31 December 2018. Earnings per Security was 2.8 cents with a Return on Equity of 0.5 per cent. The distribution per security was 12 cents.
Recurring earnings underpinned the performance of the Investments segment, although earnings were lower than in the prior corresponding period. The Retirement Living business
delivered an improvement in resales across the portfolio. Higher investment income and solid asset value appreciation was derived from co-investment positions. Fee income was also higher, driven by growth in funds under management and strong performance across the asset management businesses.
Group EBITDA of $83.1 million was impacted by the result for the Engineering and Services business, which included $500 million of expected losses from underperforming projects. The Investments segment continued to outperform and the Development segment delivered a solid result, although Development earnings are anticipated to be skewed to the second half of the financial year.
Group Services costs of $74.2 million were up 8 per cent on the prior corresponding period as a result of investment in productivity and efficiency initiatives.
Net finance costs of $52.6 million were up 14 per cent on the prior corresponding period, primarily due to higher average net debt. Net debt ended the period at $2.3 billion, while the average cost of debt was 4.2 per cent.
A comprehensive strategic review determined that Engineering and Services is non-core and is no longer a required part of the Group’s strategy. To maximise securityholder value over the long term, the Group will focus on its proven integrated capabilities across Development, Construction and Investments. As a result, the Engineering and Services business will be reported as non-core in the FY19 results and beyond.
Underlying operating and statutory operating cash flow were ($164) million and ($824) million for the period. The cash result reflected the impact from Engineering and ongoing investment into the development pipeline with invested capital in Development rising by $0.8 billion through the half to $5.1 billion. Maintaining an optimal capital structure, a core element of the Portfolio Management Framework, is critical in maximising securityholder value. As part of a disciplined approach to managing capital, an on market buyback was completed with $352 million of securities acquired.
The Building businesses in each of the regions continued to deliver solid performance. These businesses play a critical role in the integrated model through their design and delivery capability.
Our current urbanisation projects in Asia and the Americas made meaningful contributions to Development segment earnings. A number of office buildings completed at Paya Lebar Quarter in Singapore. A new residential investment partnership was secured in the Americas through which interests were acquired in buildings at Southbank in Chicago and Clippership Wharf in Boston. It was an active period for origination with two new major urbanisation projects secured, Victoria Cross, Sydney and Lakeshore East, Chicago.
The EBITDA mix in the chart below is presented with the three operating segments excluding the Engineering and Services business.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK
The Portfolio Management Framework has been revised to reflect the decision to report the Engineering and Services business as non-core and reclassification of internal construction margin for the FY19 results and beyond. The framework is designed to maximise long term securityholder value via: a diversified, risk adjusted portfolio; leveraging the integrated model; optimising the business on a long term basis; and providing financial strength to execute our strategy.
For the period, Construction and Group returns were below target due to the underperformance in Engineering. Development delivered returns marginally below target, although the full year return profile is expected to improve. The Investments segment continued to generate above target returns.
Lendlease Trust will distribute investment income and part of the capital gains derived during the period.
Gearing rose to the mid-point of the target range following ongoing investment into the development pipeline. The balance sheet remains resilient with total liquidity of $2.1 billion.
The segment invested capital mix is weighted towards Development, reflecting the significant amount of development activity. The capital weighting to Australia declined as the Group continues to invest in its international projects.
The revised Group target ranges for key metrics are set out below alongside the previous targets. The target earnings mix for the Construction segment has been reduced with a corresponding rise in Development and Investments. The Construction EBITDA margin target has been lowered to account for the exclusion of Engineering and Services going forward. The Development ROIC target range has been raised by one percentage point to reflect that previously reported construction margin on integrated projects will be recognised as part of development profit in future periods.

GROUP OUTLOOK
Despite a challenging period, the competitive advantage of the integrated business model positions the Group well for future success. Earnings visibility remains high with a growing pipeline, diversified by both geography and sector, across the Development and Investments segments.
The development pipeline of $74.5 billion has grown significantly with the Group’s focus on urbanisation in targeted gateway cities. The origination focus in recent years has centred on our
international operations with the last calendar year dominated by new projects secured in Europe. The majority of the urbanisation pipeline is now weighted to international gateway cities and we expect a greater contribution from these projects over coming years.
Funds under management rose by 20 per cent on the prior corresponding period to $34.1 billion. The development pipeline, including $2.9 billion of additional secured future funds under management on projects currently in delivery, supports future growth potential. Together with investment positions of $3.6 billion, the Investments segment is well placed to continue to deliver a solid base of recurring earnings.
Going forward, the Group will place greater emphasis on urbanisation and on leveraging the competitive advantage of the integrated model. The Group’s proven track record of delivering large scale urbanisation projects provides superior outcomes for our communities, capital partners and securityholders. The increasing focus on Development and Investments segments and continued success in securing urbanisation projects in gateway cities provides a strong platform to provide enhanced risk adjusted returns to our securityholders.

The Development segment delivered EBITDA of $260.8 million. Earnings are anticipated to be skewed to the second half of the financial year, driven by a large number of expected residential apartment settlements. This is anticipated to result in an improvement in the Return on Invested Capital in the second half. Invested capital rose to $5.1 billion as the Group continues to invest in the growing development pipeline.
Two new major urbanisation projects with a combined estimated end value of more than $3 billion were secured. Victoria Cross in Sydney is an over station development project anchored by a 58,000 square metre office tower with an estimated end value of $1.1 billion. Lakeshore East in Chicago is a residential scheme comprising approximately 1,200 units, a mix of rental and for sale apartments, with an estimated end value of $2.1 billion. The first phase of this project will be delivered via the new investment partnership with FSS.
Our current urbanisation projects in Asia and the Americas made substantive contributions to earnings. Asia delivered EBITDA of $100.7 million and the Americas generated $57.7 million, compared to a combined breakeven result in the prior corresponding period.
There were 145 apartment for sale settlements in the period, with an expected increase in the second half of the financial year with approximately 1,500 units due for settlement across a number of buildings. Combined with c.700 apartment for rent units, total apartment settlements are expected to exceed 2,000 units.
Paya Lebar Quarter is taking shape as one of the largest business and lifestyle precincts in Singapore. The three office towers, which account for more than half of the project’s end value, reached practical completion in the period.
There were 908 land lot settlements across the Australian master planned communities portfolio. While subdued market conditions have impacted both sales and settlements, there were production timing issues in the period that should result in a stronger second half. We anticipate annual settlements in FY19 to be below the target range.
In the Americas, a new 50/50 residential investment partnership was secured with First State Super (FSS) for a US$1 billion equity commitment, primarily in the residential for rent sector. The partnership is currently delivering a building at Southbank in Chicago and two buildings at Clippership Wharf in Boston. Outside of the partnership, the 845 West Madison project in Chicago with 586 units commenced delivery.

The development pipeline provides significant earnings visibility. The estimated end value of the pipeline grew 31 per cent on the prior corresponding period to $74.5 billion. The pipeline comprises $59.3 billion of urbanisation projects and $15.1 billion of communities projects.
The Group has a further $49 billion of secured urbanisation pipeline where delivery is yet to commence. These projects are typically held in capital efficient arrangements, providing the Group with flexibility around delivery and timing, in line with market cycles. The pipeline supports our target of settling 1,000 to 2,000 apartment units per annum and commencing two to three commercial buildings per annum.
The strong growth in the pipeline was driven by four newly secured major urbanisation projects over the last calendar year, two of which were secured in the period. We now have 20 major urbanisation projects across 10 gateway cities. Post balance date Lendlease was announced as preferred development partner on two additional urbanisation projects. The $14.5 billion
The origination focus in recent years has centred on the international operations with the last calendar year dominated by new projects secured in Europe. International gateway cities now account for the majority of the urbanisation pipeline. This is expected to result in a greater contribution from these international projects over the coming years.
Thamesmead Waterfront development in London will create more than 11,000 homes and the $2.7 billion Birmingham Smithfield project will generate more than 2,000 homes within close proximity to the proposed high speed rail station that is due to open in 2026.
The Communities pipeline consists of c.51,000 lots, providing more than a decade of supply based on the 3,000 to 4,000 targeted settlements per annum. Due to current softer market conditions, the target is expected to be more challenging in the near term.
The Group has eight major commercial buildings in delivery across 359,000 sqm, with a remaining estimated end value of $4.9 billion. We have approximately 3,000 presold apartments for sale in delivery and approximately 2,000 apartments for rent in delivery with a combined total estimated end value of $5.2 billion.
The development pipeline provides long term earnings visibility and the flexibility to be both disciplined and patient with the pursuit of future opportunities. Diversification by geography and sector is expected to provide resilience through market cycles.

The Construction segment recorded an EBITDA loss of $362.3 million. The performance of the Building businesses in each region was solid, with EBITDA of $111.4 million at a margin of 2.1 per cent. This was not sufficient to offset the $473.7 million loss from the Engineering and Services business. The segment EBITDA margin of (5.4) per cent was well below the target range. The result for the Engineering and Services business includes a $500 million pre-tax impact from expected losses across underperforming projects. The anticipated losses primarily relate to three Engineering projects, NorthConnex in Sydney and Gateway Upgrade North and Kingsford Smith Drive, both in Brisbane. The amount allowed for reflects the estimated cost of completing the projects, which are now well advanced and are expected to complete by the end of calendar year 2020.
Australian Building delivered EBITDA of $64.7 million and revenue of $2.1 billion. New work secured of $2.2 billion included the building components of Sydney Metro Martin Place and Victoria Cross over station developments and a number of Defence contracts, reflecting diversification across sectors and client type.
Revenue from the Americas was down 4 per cent on the prior corresponding period to $2.4 billion. The EBITDA margin of 1 per cent is anticipated to recover for the full year following higher one-off costs in the first half. New work secured of $1.8 billion was up 20 per cent on the prior corresponding period, driven by several new commercial and residential contracts.
Europe delivered an improved performance with both revenue and margin up on the prior corresponding period. EBITDA was supported by some higher margin construction management projects. New work secured was minimal in the period, although there are a number of contracts in preferred status that are expected to convert by the end of the financial year.
A strategic review of the Engineering and Services business commenced during the period. As noted in Group Highlights, the decision was subsequently made that the business is non-core and is no longer a required part of the Group’s strategy. It will be reported on this basis going forward.
Asia continues to focus on the delivery of the internal development pipeline. The improved margin outcome was supported by ongoing construction across the Group’s two major urbanisation projects in the region, Paya Lebar Quarter and The Lifestyle Quarter.
New work secured in the Engineering business included WestConnex 3A M4-M5 Link.

In future periods, the Construction segment will comprise the Building businesses in each region. The outlook for these businesses is solid with a combined backlog revenue of $14.8 billion, including new work secured in the period of $4.3 billion. Going forward, Development and Construction earnings derived from integrated projects will be combined and reported in the Development segment. Over the last three financial years, construction backlog revenue from major integrated projects has accounted for 15 per cent of total construction backlog.
In the Americas, the established Construction building business has a strong market share in its target cities and sectors while a growing development pipeline in the region will provide more opportunities for the integrated model. The large development pipeline in Europe will provide a significant amount of future construction building work, while the Asian business will continue to focus predominantly on the internal development pipeline.
Beyond the current backlog position, there is approximately $10 billion of work for which the Group is in a preferred position, across both external and integrated projects. The business is well placed to convert a significant proportion of this preferred work, that is diversified by geography and sector, into backlog revenue over coming periods.
A new lower risk business strategy to facilitate participation in the growing transport infrastructure sector is being implemented for Engineering. Progress has been made with several initiatives being implemented across: origination; people and culture; governance; and project execution. The Engineering and Services business has backlog revenue of $6.6 billion. The Building backlog is well diversified across multiple geographies, sectors and clients. Key sectors include residential, commercial and defence. Australia has a significant pipeline of work, with $6.6 billion in backlog revenue. Key projects include a number of Defence contracts, the Crown Sydney Hotel Resort, Sydney Metro Martin Place over station developments and Randwick Hospital.

The Investments segment delivered EBITDA of $273.2 million. This resulted in a Return on Invested Capital of 13.6 per cent, above the target range. The decline in EBITDA from $383.1 million in the prior corresponding period reflects the contribution from strong gains in underlying asset values.
Higher investment income and solid asset value appreciation was derived from co-investment positions, in particular the Australian office portfolio. This was supported by both a strong leasing and capital market environment.
The prior corresponding period included a substantial uplift in the value of the equity investment the Group holds in the US Military Housing operations. This reverted to the predominantly income based returns on the Group’s investment in the current period.
The Group made further progress on its capital partnering strategy. In the residential sector, a recent addition to the investments platform, an investment partnership in the Americas was secured. First State Super and Lendlease have committed an initial US$1 billion of equity. In Australia, an existing capital partner acquired c.10 per cent of Lendlease’s interest in Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust.
Operating EBITDA was $69.6 million, up 8 per cent on the prior corresponding period. Higher fund management fees were generated from the 20 per cent growth in funds under management. Asset and property management fees from our US Military Housing operations and the Australian and Asian asset management businesses continue to support recurring earnings. A strong network of capital partners provides additional capacity for the Group to develop and grow its pipeline of opportunities. APPF Retail opened its liquidity window during the period. The offer of periodic liquidity is a feature of a number of funds on the investment platform.
Ownership EBITDA was $203.6 million, down from $318.7 million in the prior corresponding period mainly due to lower revaluations. The Retirement Living business delivered a solid underlying contribution with resales up 24 per cent across the portfolio following a period of industry related weakness and the introduction of alternative contract types by Lendlease. Total earnings contribution from the Retirement Living business to the Group was lower given the reduction in ownership to 75 per cent and the valuation uplift following the introduction of a capital partner that occurred in the prior corresponding period.

The Investments segment is well placed to continue to provide a solid base of recurring earnings to the Group. The integrated business model, with the development pipeline providing product and the Construction segment providing delivery capability, is likely to remain the main source of growth for the Investments segment.
Through the investments platform, Lendlease has established relationships with approximately 150 institutional investors and a strong track record of performance. The further conversion of the development pipeline with our capital partners will provide future opportunities to grow funds under management. The remaining secured urbanisation pipeline yet to commence delivery totals $49 billion.
The investments platform ended the period with funds under management of $34.1 billion, up 20 per cent on the prior period. The three office towers at the Paya Lebar Quarter project in Singapore that completed in the period are valued at approximately $2 billion with the retail component of the project expected to complete in FY20. The 26,000 square metre office building at One Melbourne Quarter, valued at approximately $0.3 billion also completed in the period.
Investments managed on behalf of the Group closed the year at $3.6 billion. This includes $1.7 billion of co-investments in our funds under management platform that provides alignment with investors along with a high quality income stream. The Group’s 75 per cent interest in the Retirement Living business is valued at $1.4 billion. The remaining $0.5 billion in investments includes the Group’s interest in US Military Housing projects, the US telecommunications infrastructure portfolio and retail at Barangaroo.
The platform now has $0.7 billion in FUM in residential for rent assets that are currently in development. The first of the rental apartment buildings are scheduled for completion by the end of FY19. In addition to the current funds under management, there is approximately $2.9 billion of future secured funds under management based on development projects currently in delivery.
Diversification of investments across the Group is designed to provide improved risk adjusted returns. Continuing to foster capital partner relationships will be critical for the ongoing success of the Investments segment.

Inventories
Investment Properties
Inventories increased by 9 per cent in the period as the Group continues to invest in the development pipeline. Significant apartment settlements are expected to convert some of the inventory into revenue and cash prior to the end of FY19.
Investment properties rose by 35 per cent. A number of the retail assets held on balance sheet at Barangaroo were transferred from inventory to investment properties following stabilisation of the assets.
Equity Accounted Investments
Total Assets, Total Liabilities and Net Assets
Equity accounted investments increased by 21 per cent in the period. Additional equity was contributed to fund the Group’s interest in Paya Lebar Quarter that also increased in value following the completion of the three office towers in the period. The new residential investment partnership in the Americas resulted in the Group’s interest in the seed assets shifting from inventory to equity accounted investments.
Total assets grew by 3 per cent in the period with strong growth in inventories, equity accounted investments and investment properties partly offset by a reduction in receivables. The c.$1 billion rise in borrowing reflects strong investment in the pipeline and associated weak period for cash flow.
Operating and Investing
Cash Movements ($b)
The Group has introduced measures of underlying cash flows to better reflect the cash flows generated by the Group from its business model. It facilitates an assessment of cash conversion, that measures underlying operating cash flow relative to EBITDA. The measures are derived by adjusting statutory cash flows, the largest of which is capital invested in development.

Operating cash flow of ($824) million compares to underlying operating cash flow of ($164) million. In the period, this included realised gains from the sale of part of the Group’s investment in Lendlease One International Towers Sydney Trust and proceeds from the establishment of the US residential investment partnership. Negative underlying operating cash flow in the period reflects weaker earnings, in particular the underperformance in Engineering.
Investing cash flow of $157 million compares to underlying investing cash flow of ($406) million. Items that have characteristics of investing such as capital deployed into development activity have been reclassified to provide a more accurate gauge of the investing activities of the Group.
Financing
Net cash inflow from financing activities was $565.7 million. The drawdown of unutilised banking facilities was offset by distribution payments and the on market buyback during the period. The Group remains in a strong financial position with $2.1 billion of liquidity.

Net debt and gearing increased in the half year as the Group continued to invest in the development pipeline. An additional $0.8 billion of capital was deployed into the Development segment during the half year. Despite this, Lendlease maintained a strong liquidity position as at 31 December 2018, with cash (including the Group’s share of joint operations cash of $0.5 billion, access to which is subject to joint venture partner approval) and undrawn facilities – after the repayment of the $250 million in medium term notes in November 2018 – totalling $2.1 billion.

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 25 February 2019.

Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report, which:
-
has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 ;
-
complies with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);
-
should be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2018 annual consolidated financial report and any public announcements by the Group during the half year in accordance with continuous disclosure obligations arising under the Corporations Act 2001 . The half year financial report does not contain all the information required for a full financial report;
-
is presented in Australian dollars, 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, investment properties 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.
The preparation of an interim financial report that complies with AASB 134 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 accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group and are consistent with those applied in the 30 June 2018 annual consolidated financial report other than as stated below.
Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards
New and Revised Accounting Standards Adopted 1 July 2018
From 1 July 2018 the Group adopted AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and consequential amendments. AASB 15 provides a new model for recognising revenue earned from a contract with a customer. AASB 15 is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service is transferred to a customer.
The Group utilised the cumulative approach to transition to AASB 15, therefore comparatives have not been restated. Comparatives continue to be accounted for in accordance with the Group’s previous accounting policies outlined in the 30 June 2018 annual consolidated financial report.
The Group has assessed that all contracts where goods and services have been transferred in accordance with AASB 111 Construction Contracts , AASB 118 Revenue and related interpretations at 1 July 2018 are considered completed contracts, and therefore have not been retrospectively adjusted. There has been no material financial impact as a result of adopting AASB 15 and therefore no adjustments to opening retained earnings. New disclosures have been included where required. Changes to disclosures include reclassification of prior period balances to align the presentation of comparative information to the new disclosure requirements.
See below for details on impact on adoption of the new standard:
| Revenue | Recognition in previous reporting periods | Recognition under AASB 15 |

Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards continued
Changes to accounting policies from 1 July 2018
The Group’s accounting policies have been revised to reflect the guidance of the new revenue standard with effect from 1 July 2018. Refer below for further details:
Provision of Construction and Development services
Construction services include project management, design and construction services predominantly in the infrastructure, defence, mixed use, commercial and residential sectors. Development services include development fees earned on development of inner city mixed use developments, retirement, retail, commercial assets and social and economic infrastructure.
Contracts with customers to provide Construction or Development services can include either one performance obligation or multiple integrated performance obligations within each contract. The Group assesses each of its contracts individually and where there are separate performance obligations identified, the transaction price is allocated based on the relative stand-alone selling prices of the services provided.
The transaction price for each contract may include variable consideration in the form of contract variations or modifications, performance or other incentive fees and contract claims. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price for a contract to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of that revenue will not occur. The Group assesses the probability of receiving variable consideration using a combination of commercial and market factors, historical experience and independent third party advice. This assessment is reviewed each reporting period or when facts and circumstances change during the reporting period.
Revenue is recognised over time, typically based on an input method using an estimate of costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated costs. These contracts are typically executed on the customer’s land so they control the assets as it is being built or the customer benefits from the service as the work is performed. Differences between amounts recognised as revenue and amounts billed to customers are recognised as contract assets or liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.
The measurement of revenue is an area of accounting judgement. Management use judgement to estimate:
-
i. Progress in satisfying the performance obligations within the contract which includes estimating contract costs expected to be incurred to satisfy performance obligations; and
-
ii. The probability of the amount to be recognised as variable consideration for approved variations and claims where the final price has not been agreed with the customer.
Revenue is invoiced based on the terms of each individual contract which may include a periodic billing schedule or achievement of specific milestones. Invoices are issued under commercial payment terms which is typically 30 days from when an invoice is issued.
A provision for loss making contracts is recorded for the difference between the expected costs of fulfilling a contract and the expected remaining economic benefits to be received where the forecast remaining costs exceed the forecast remaining benefits.
Provision of Investment services
Investment services include funds management, asset management, leasing and origination services.
Each contract with a customer to provide Investment services is one performance obligation with revenue recognised over time as services are rendered. Typically, our performance obligation is to manage a client’s capital and/or property for a specified period of time and is delivered as a series of daily performance obligations over time.
The transaction price for each contract may include variable consideration in the form of performance fees. Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price for a contract to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of that revenue will not occur. The Group assesses probability of receiving variable consideration using a combination of commercial and market factors, and historical experience.
Revenue is invoiced either monthly or quarterly based on the terms of each individual contract. Invoices are issued under commercial payment terms which is typically 30 days from when an invoice is issued.

Basis of Preparation continued
Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards Continued
Sale of Development Properties
The Group develops and sells residential land lots and built form products, including residential apartments, commercial and retail buildings. Sale of residential land lots and apartments typically contain one component and are recognised at a point in time with each contract treated as a single performance obligation to transfer control of an asset to a customer. Residential land lots and apartments are recognised on settlement with the customer.
The sale of retail, commercial and mixed use assets may include land, construction, development management and investment service components. Where there are multiple components within one contract, the transaction price is allocated based on the stand-alone selling prices of each component, typically using the residual approach, and revenue is recognised based on the policies noted above. Sales of commercial and retail buildings are recognised when the customer obtains control of the asset based on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contract.
The Group discounts deferred proceeds to reflect the time value of money where the period between the transfer of control of a development property and receipt of payment from the customer exceeds one year. Deferred proceeds from customers are recognised in trade and other receivables where the right to receive payment is unconditional. Deposits received in advance from customers are recognised as a contract liability until the performance obligation has been met.
The measurement and recognition of revenue from the sale of development properties is an area of 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.
Proceeds from the sale of residential land lots and apartments are received upon settlement, which will typically occur between 6-12 weeks following practical completion on the asset. Proceeds from the sale of retail, commercial and mixed use assets are received in accordance with the specific terms of each contract.

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 below 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 and allocation of resources 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 the distinct products and services provided by each segment, the distinct target returns profile and allocation of resources for each segment, and internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (the chief operating decision maker) in assessing performance, determining the allocation of resources, setting operational targets, and managing the Group.
The Group has arranged the segments around business activity rather than geography due to the Group’s business model being broadly consistent in all regions.
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. Its products and services include 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. Its products and services include the provision of project management, design and construction services, predominately in the infrastructure, defence, mixed use, commercial and residential sectors.
Investments
Services include owning and/or managing 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 CoInvestments, 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.

Also includes the effect of change in tax rates.
10. Events Subsequent to Balance Date
Subsequent to balance date, the Group has announced that its Engineering and Services business is no longer a required part of the Group’s strategy. As the Group works through the implications of this decision, it currently estimates that it may incur future restructuring costs of between $450 million - $550 million. This is a preliminary estimate.
These restructuring costs may include implementation costs, such as technology and system costs, employee costs and advisor costs, and costs to conclude customer contracts as a result of the Group’s decision. This estimate excludes any anticipated revenue from ongoing operations or proceeds received for the business.

The final distribution reinvestment plan for FY2018 has been neutralised by acquiring an equivalent number of stapled securities on market.
-
Stapled securities acquired as part of the Group’s on market stapled security buyback have been recorded in Retained Earnings for the Company and Buyback Reserves for the Trust.
a. Issuance of Securities
As at 31 December 2018, the Group had 563.9 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 March 2019. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of Lendlease Group 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 of 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.

-
Movements in Unearned income relates primarily to PLLACes transactions and residential pre-sales settled during the period, deposits received for development properties and transfers between non current and current.
-
Movements in Construction contract liabilities relate primarily to billings raised during the period in excess of revenue recognised on construction contracts with customers and losses recognised on engineering projects during the period. The increase in billings during the period relates primarily to new projects secured and commencing during the period.
During the period the Group recognised $873.8 million in revenue from contracts that held a contract liability balance at the beginning of the financial year.
The total transaction price allocated to unsatifisfied performance obligations on the Group’s construction contracts as at December 2018 is $21.4 billion, which is the construction backlog reported in the Performance and Outlook section of the Director’s report. This includes new work secured during the period. Of the total construction backlog, 30 per cent is expected to be realised within the next 6 months to June 2019, 38 per cent to June 2020 and the remaining 32 per cent realised post June 2020.
The total transaction price allocated to unsatifisfied performance obligations on the Group’s development contracts with unearned income recognised on the Statement of Financial Position at June 2018 is $1,291.5 million relating primarily to residential apartments at Elephant and Castle and Darling Square. The difference between the Unearned income amount noted above and this amount primarily relates to the remaining value of apartments versus the deposit amount received. Revenue from these contracts is expected to be realised as control over each asset is transferred to the customer.

Section D: Other Notes
18. Fair Value Measurement
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.
| Note | DECEMBER 2018 | JUNE 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount $m Fair Value $m |
Carrying Amount $m Fair Value $m |
|
| Liabilities Current Commercial notes 14a |
249.8 252.9 |
|
| Non Current Commercial notes 14a |
1,589.9 1,803.1 |
|
| 1,724.3 1,960.8 |
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, which may include periodic independent and Directors’ valuations, 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 includes 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 period there were no material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies.
19. 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.

Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the Half-year Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Half-year Financial Report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the Half-year Financial Report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As auditor of Lendlease Corporation Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a Half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
