FY22 EPS guidance 15.0 +7.1% cpss
KEY HIGHLIGHTS FROM ACROSS THE GROUP:
-
achieved 902 residential sales, with pre-sales increasing to ~$1.3bn;
-
settled 551 residential lots, and on track to deliver >2,500 lot settlements in FY22;
-
completed 61 leasing deals across ~23,100sqm in the Integrated Investment Portfolio (IIP)[ 2] ;
-
maintained high occupancy in IIP at 96.8%[ 3] ;
-
cash collection moderated to 88%[ 4] , impacted by lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne and concentrated in Retail;
-
progressed our $28bn[ 5] development pipeline, with the Locomotive Workshop in Sydney substantially complete (97% pre-leased)[ 6 ] and topping out achieved at 80 Ann Street in Brisbane (92% pre-leased)[ 6] ;
-
broadened our funds under management platform with the commencement of a new investment mandate with Sunsuper, selling down a 49% interest in the Locomotive Workshop, Sydney into the mandate. We also secured a ~50% interest in 200 George Street, Sydney, for aligned capital partner, M&G Real Estate;
-
published our FY21 Sustainability Report, highlighting our strong ESG performance, including a carbon footprint reduction of 80%; and
-
named best workplace in Australia to give back.
Mirvac’s CEO & Managing Director, Susan Lloyd-Hurwitz, said, “There is no doubt the first quarter of FY22 was challenging. As we expected, government-mandated lockdowns in Sydney and Melbourne have slowed our recovery, with cash collection rates in our Integrated Investment Portfolio down 10% during the quarter, impacted by Retail.
“Nevertheless, Mirvac’s forward momentum continues. We maintained strong sales across our residential business, continued to progress our diversified commercial and mixed use development pipeline, and further expanded our funds under management. Our clear visibility of earnings, with 95% of Residential EBIT already secured, along with accelerated vaccination rates and an easing of restrictions in NSW and Victoria, give us confidence that we will continue to build momentum in the second half of FY22, and we remain on track to meet the guidance we provided in August.”

LOOKING AFTER OUR PEOPLE
The COVID-19 lockdowns impacted all of our employees across the country in the first quarter, with those in Sydney and Melbourne dealing with further restrictions. Recognising the impacts to mental health and wellbeing, we continue to focus on providing care and support to our people, offering online sessions on resilience, home schooling, and health and wellbeing.
To thank employees for their continued dedication through a challenging period, we gifted all employees with five additional days of leave, called Thank You Days, to help them relax and recharge.
As we start to plan our office reopening, we have also surveyed our employees on their COVID-19 vaccination mindset, which has provided invaluable data in shaping our return-to-office approach.
- 145 lots settled as at 18 October 2021. 2. Less than 1% excluding Sydney Olympic Park, Sydney. 3. Released in FY21. 4. Includes deposits and conditional sales.

occupancy of 94.4%[ 3,5] and a WALE of 6.1 years[ 4] , with lease expiry for FY22 of 5%[ 4] as at 30 September 2021;

cash collections rates moderated to 97%[ 1] during the quarter (FY21: 99%), impacted by retail and car parking tenants; and
-
executed leasing deals of ~9,130sqm[ 2] , with leasing activity and occupancy impacted by restrictions and limited on-site inspections.
Mirvac’s Head of IIP, Campbell Hanan, said, “Leasing activity softened during the quarter, which was not surprising given the operating environment. However, anecdotal evidence from our tenants suggests there is a clear motivation to return to our CBDs, and our modern, sustainable and technology-enabled CBD office assets will help us to both retain and attract employees to our workplaces.”

“Record e-commerce spending meant that demand for high-quality, well-located industrial facilities showed no signs of abating during the quarter, and we were able to leverage this to secure pre-leases at our assets currently under development,” said Mr Hanan. “Low vacancy rates in Sydney also point to better rental growth in the near-to-mid term, which we are well placed to benefit from.”

RETAIL

-
cash collections reduced to 71%[ 1] during the quarter (FY21: 94%), with the portfolio impacted by COVID-19 restrictions;
-
achieved comparable specialty sales productivity of $8,860/sqm[ 6] and specialty occupancy costs of 16.3%;
-
executed 46 leasing deals across ~6,560sqm[ 2] ;
-
maintained high occupancy of 97.8%[ 3] , with 5.2% of holdovers as we supported tenants through lockdown; and
-
foot traffic was down 24%, with 39% of stores closed[ 7] as at 30 September 2021 due to restrictions.
Mr Hanan said, “Last year, we saw weakened cash collection rates in the retail sector quickly improve once restrictions eased and normalised trading conditions returned. While we expect to see a similar recovery in the second half of the financial year, supported by pent up demand for physical retail, we will continue to apply caution until we have more certainty.”
BUILD TO RENT
-
occupancy moderated slightly at LIV Indigo, Sydney Olympic Park, (down to 79% from 80%), with leasing momentum impacted by restricted amenity offering as a result of lockdown measures.
-
“We continued to attract interest at our pilot project, LIV Indigo in Sydney, despite operating in a challenging environment and with limited opportunities for in-person inspections,” said Mr Hanan.
-
“We remain committed to growing this portfolio as the appeal of high-quality rental product and a superior rental experience increases.”

CREATING A LASTING LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
The redevelopment of 55 Pitt Street in Sydney into a Premium-grade tower will deliver around 63,000sqm of commercial and retail space in the revitalised Circular Quay precinct. Recognising the needs of future tenants in a post-pandemic world, the building has been designed to prioritise health and well-being, featuring touchless entry points, access to fresh air via an operable façade, increased biophilia, and a roof-top garden.
In addition to targeting high sustainability and wellness ratings, it is intended that the asset will:
-
be designed to be fully electric and powered by 100% renewable energy in its operations, with an ambition for tenants of the building to use renewable energy too;
-
target the use of up to 25% recycled content in major materials (such as concrete, steel, carpet tiles, ceilings and plasterboard); and
-
target a 95% diversion of construction waste from landfill.
Design elements that provide a connection to Country and acknowledge and pay tribute to the Traditional Owners of the land will be incorporated.
It’s a grand reimagining of the site that is expected to bring real benefits to Sydney’s CBD, leaving a lasting legacy for generations to come.
