2 EPS includes securities issued under the Employee Incentive Scheme (EIS), but excludes options and rights issued.

3 Prior year numbers have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the rights issues, as required by accounting standard AASB 133. This is because the exercise price of the rights issue was less than the fair value of the securities and so includes a bonus element. The number of ordinary securities for both periods prior to the rights issue is multiplied by the fair value per share immediately before the exercise of rights divided by the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share.

4 Not applicable to 2010 as no rights were issued close to June 2010 financial year end.

“The tough decisions we took 18 months ago to simplify our business and create value for our investors through quality investment property acquisitions, have successfully repositioned the Group for earnings growth.

“Mirvac will continue to focus on its major competitive strength of large-scale, pre-eminent residential developments and the proactive management of Australian investment grade assets.”

The Investment Division had a total portfolio value of $5.7 billion[2] , with investments in 77[2 ] direct property assets, covering the office, retail, industrial and hotel sectors, as well as investments in other funds managed by Mirvac.

Key highlights for the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2010 included:

The Trust maintained its high portfolio occupancy of 97.6 per cent[1] and minimal lease expiries with a weighted average lease expiry of approximately 6.1 years[1] . The Trust’s earnings continue to be secure with 96.0 per cent of FY11 rent reviews being fixed or linked to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), and 76.6 per cent of revenue derived from multinational, national, Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) listed and government tenants.

Outlook

The Investment Division remains focused on active asset management, enhancing income security, and the quality of its portfolio. The strategy for the Division is to continue to increase exposure in Australian investment grade property focused on the east coast of Australia.

Hotel Management

Mirvac’s Hotel Management business unit manages hotels and resorts across Australia and New Zealand. For the year ended 30 June 2010, Hotel Management achieved a statutory net loss before tax of $10.8 million and an operating profit before tax of $11.6 million.

The business unit continued to expand during the year with new hotel management contracts including Citigate Mount Panorama, Bathurst, NSW (111 rooms) and The Sebel Deep Blue Warrnambool, Warrnambool, VIC (80 rooms), bringing the total hotels managed to 46, covering 5,812 rooms.

Key highlights for Hotel Management during the year included:

  • awarded “Accommodation Chain of the Year” 2009, HM Awards, 14 August 2009.

Outlook

Hotel Management will continue to increase the number of hotels under its key brands in strategic and underrepresented areas within Australia.

Investment Management

Mirvac’s Investment Management (“MIM”) business unit provides capital interaction between the Group’s two core Divisions - Investment and Development - through the establishment of investment partnerships with major financial institutions and institutional investors.

For the year ended 30 June 2010, MIM[3] recorded a statutory net loss before tax of $0.1 million and an operating loss before tax of $7.8 million.

In line with the Group’s stated strategy, the rationalisation of non-aligned and unscaleable funds continued during the year. Key highlights included:

Outlook

The focus for MIM is to continue to support and source capital for the Group’s core divisions - Investment and Development - through the establishment of investment partnerships with wholesale institutional investors.

Development Division

The Group’s Development Division conducts residential and commercial development across New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

For the year ended 30 June 2010, the Division’s statutory net profit before tax was $19.6 million and operating profit before tax was $20.1 million.

Residential

Mirvac’s residential product offering includes house and land packages, masterplanned communities, small lot homes and apartments. The Division continued to deliver quality residential product resulting in the settlement of 1,805 lots at 30 June 2010 (including Mirvac share of joint venture interest and Mirvac managed funds).

State based settlements by product for the year ended 30 June 2010 were:

House/land (%) Apartments (%) Total (%)
NSW 33.9 17.0 50.8
VIC 9.2 0.1 9.3
QLD 5.8 9.5 15.3
WA 15.9 8.8 24.7
Total 64.8 35.2 100.0

Mirvac’s position as Australia’s pre-eminent residential developer was evidenced by $802.4 million[1 ] of exchanged residential pre-sales contracts. Key projects included Parkbridge, Middleton Grange in NSW (208 lots); Laureate, Melbourne, VIC (28 lots); Waverley Park, Mulgrave, VIC (73), Waterfront, Newstead, QLD (55 lots) and Beachside Leighton, Leighton Beach, WA (56 lots).

Commercial

Mirvac’s commercial development pipeline covers the office, retail, industrial and hotel sectors. Completed projects may be incorporated into MPT’s property portfolio or sold to third parties. Consistent with the recent improvement in market conditions in the commercial sector across Australia, Mirvac is in various stages of commencing 10 strategic development projects.

During the year Mirvac secured a major pre-commitment on a significant industrial development project, Hoxton Distribution Park at Hoxton Park, Sydney, NSW. Hoxton Distribution Park will be one of the largest industrial development projects undertaken in Australia. The new facility is 100 per cent pre-let to Woolworths Limited covering approximately 140,000 square metres of industrial space that will house major distribution centres for BIG W and Dick Smith, with terms agreed for a 25 year lease and 20 year lease respectively.

Outlook

The Division’s strategy is to build on its extensive in-house experience and proven track record to continue to deliver Australia’s pre-eminent residential developments and focus on large-scale, generational, masterplanned residential communities. The Division will continue to advance its commercial development projects in prime locations.

1 Total exchanged contracts at 20 August 2010, adjusted for Mirvac’s share of JV interests and Mirvac managed funds.

FY11 guidance & market outlook

Mirvac is forecasting strong growth for FY11 of between 9.7 to 14 per cent representing an FY11 EPS guidance range of 10.2 to 10.6 cents per stapled security. DPS guidance is forecast to be 8.0 to 9.0 cents per stapled security.

The Australian economy continues to perform well and has recovered from a relatively mild downturn. The labour market continues to improve and housing investment is set to accelerate over the remainder of the calendar year. Australia remains well placed to absorb any global downside impacts as a result of its relatively low public debt and sound banking system. Australia however is truly part of the global economy and is substantially impacted by overseas events in Europe and North America and the strength of our largest resource trading partner, China. As a result Mirvac remains cautious about predicting the level of future growth in markets in which it participates. A global tightening of credit and, or, a reduction in demand for Australia’s resources will quickly lead to higher real interest rates and loss of consumer confidence.

Overall, Mirvac believes the outlook for well positioned and priced residential property remains sound. In the commercial market, conditions have been less buoyant however, asset values appear to have stabilised and a shortage of new supply in all sectors may see a return to rental growth in the year ahead. In these uncertain times Mirvac will continue to focus on its major competitive strength of large-scale, pre-eminent residential developments and the proactive management of Australian investment grade assets.
