Group Strategy Update
Mirvac conducted a thorough top down and bottom up analysis of the Group and each business segment in its annual strategic review. The review resulted in the Group establishing clear and targeted directional mandates that are focused on delivering value to securityholders.
Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz added, “What I found to be most compelling about the work that we undertook was the demonstrable value that is derived from Mirvac’s integrated model. Our ability to create, own and manage assets is key to delivering focused growth and stable income to investors.
“In maintaining a core capability across four sectors we are able to deliver an appropriate balance of passive and active assets and can also unlock complex urban multi use opportunities. Applying our integrated and diversified model in a focused and disciplined manner is a powerful proposition to investors.
“It is clear that to deliver returns to securityholders, we needed greater focus across the Group in certain areas. This focus relates specifically to decisions as to where and how we will deploy capital, and just as important, when we will not deploy capital. We have also significantly strengthened our capital allocation approval process to drive greater discipline and competitive tension for capital across the Group.
“Investors can expect to see Mirvac deliver stable income and focused growth. Stable income will be derived from our high quality portfolio of passive assets, whilst growth will be achieved via a range of opportunities including repositioning of existing assets.
“Mirvac, on an ongoing basis, regularly evaluates M&A opportunities including acquisitions of asset portfolios.
“All growth opportunities will be consistent with our strategy and are value enhancing to our securityholders,” said Ms Lloyd-Hurwitz.
