Commenting on the Group’s quarterly update, Mirvac CEO & Managing Director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, said that the Group has progressed a number of key objectives during the quarter and is continuing to execute on its strategy to deliver stable income and focused growth.

“I am pleased to announce that we remain on track to deliver our FY14 guidance and our target of 10 per cent Return on Invested Capital for the Development division in FY14,” Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said.

  • achieved practical completion at 8 Chifley and commenced construction at 200 George Street and 699 Bourke Street; and

  • achieved a strong portfolio occupancy of 99.2 per cent[3] ;

  • strong moving annual turnover (“MAT”) growth of 5.1 per cent;

  • Stanhope Village Stage 3 completed and trading commenced; and

“Our investment portfolio continues to perform strongly, underpinning the Group’s earnings, and as evidenced from the metrics, Mirvac’s internal leasing teams have been proactively working to de-risk the portfolio.

Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said, “Our Development Division remains well positioned with strong visibility of earnings into the future. The residential business has experienced a strong quarter driven by our overweight exposure to NSW and high profile apartment projects like Harold Park. Commercial developments are tracking to plan with leasing activity and construction progressing in line with expectations.”

Outlook:

Mirvac reaffirmed its FY14 operating EPS guidance range of 11.7 to 12.0 cpss and distribution guidance range of 8.8 to 9.0 cpss.

“We remain comfortable with the outlook for our passive assets due to the quality of our office portfolio and the fact that our retail portfolio is positioned towards high quality catchments with a focus on non discretionary spending.

“While we are finally starting to see housing volumes and pricing improve, albeit off a low base, we believe that in order to best take advantage of the residential markets it’s all about having the right product, price point and location,” Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz said.

A management presentation of the results will be webcast live from 10.00am (Sydney) at www.mirvac.com .
