Residential
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said, “With our reputation for creating high quality, well designed homes and sustainable communities and our loyal, predominantly owner occupier, customer base, Mirvac was ideally placed to take advantage of the buoyant residential market conditions in FY21. Our commitment to being shovel ready, and the depth and diversity of our development pipeline, meant we were able to release product in response to heightened demand. As a result, we saw our highest sales rates since FY16 and strong momentum for our Residential business right across Australia.”

Delivered operating EBIT of $168m, down by 25% driven by a greater contribution from masterplanned community projects in FY21, compared to FY20 which benefited from record level apartment settlements;

Outlook for FY22
Mirvac has provided operating EPS guidance of at least 15.0cpss for FY22, which represents an increase in earnings of at least 7.1%, and distribution guidance of 10.2cpss, providing DPS growth of 3%. Our full year guidance is based on the assumption that business conditions will normalise in the last quarter of CY21 when vaccination targets are expected to be met.
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz concluded, “While FY21 has been characterised by extended lockdowns and restrictions, vaccine supply is improving and vaccine coverage is increasing daily. I am confident this, along with other mechanisms such as a vaccine passport and Rapid Antigen Testing, will enable Australia to open up again safely, providing a pathway towards recovery in FY22. We are currently in a good position to harness the strong momentum across the Group to continue into FY22 - our 50th anniversary year - when we will be ideally placed to meet the changing demands of our customers, as we continue to reimagine urban life.”
