CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW

On behalf of the Board of Peet Limited, I present to you our 2015 Annual Report.

This year, in 2015, Peet Limited celebrates the 120th anniversary of our foundation in 1895 with a clear strategy and an adaptable business that underpins our current and future growth objectives.

One of Peet’s core strengths is its diversified portfolio across Australia allowing it to manage through variable and often challenging market conditions. In the past financial year, that was again evident with strong results from our Victorian portfolio offsetting the reduced performance from some of our estates on the west coast and the substantial completion in 2014 of both the highly successful Warner Lakes project in Queensland and the Crace project in the ACT.

The benefits of Peet’s strategic decision to expand through the acquisition of CIC Australia Limited, which was completed to 100% during the year, are also reflected in our results. Peet now has projects in every mainland state and territory and, with a strong balance sheet and appropriately skilled and resourced management team, will continue to explore opportunities for growth.

The Group increased its South Australian portfolio during the year, where it already has the awardwinning Lightsview joint venture project, with the acquisition of the Bluestone Estate at Mount Barker, south-east of Adelaide in joint venture under our wholesale platform. The project was one of six in which Peet acquired an interest during the year following an equity raising of approximately $51 million. The other projects acquired as part of the equity raising are welllocated in Western Australia and Victoria.

Our Funds Management business model enables us to utilise various land ownership structures in

our portfolio and for new acquisitions. These include large wholesale funds, our body of private retail-investor syndicates and joint ventures. These structures may include our own coinvestment participation and complement our fully-owned Development projects.

We are also leveraging off the proven expertise in CIC in residential apartment development and urban residential infill as demonstrated by Quayside, ACT and Lightsview, SA which are referred to elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Looking to the future

I am pleased to confirm that we continue to manage our land bank of some 47,000 potential residential lots, with a focus on maximising return on capital employed to achieve optimal shareholder returns.

Significantly, our strategy includes an expectation of having over 80% of our land bank in various stages of development by the end of FY17.

In the year ahead, development is scheduled to commence at the Company’s largest project, Flagstone City, in South East Queensland where market conditions are very encouraging. Flagstone will ultimately provide more than 11,000 lots, four schools, community and childcare facilities, a Local District Centre, a Central Business District and 30 hectares of sporting facilities linked by more than 200 hectares of open space.

We have development approvals in place to start on the first phase of more than 700 lots with development approval for another 1,800 lots anticipated through FY16.

The rest of the Annual Report provides commentary on a range of continuing and new projects.

Dividends

The Directors are pleased to have declared a final dividend for the 2015 financial year of 3.0 cents per share, fully franked, bringing the total dividend for the 2015 financial year to 4.5 cents per share, fully franked. It represents an uplift on the 2014 financial year dividend which was 3.5 cents per share, unfranked.

Conclusion

Our shareholders and stakeholders can have every confidence in our Managing Director, Brendan Gore and his leadership team who have an impressive breadth of skills and total application to optimising the performance of the Group.

I commend and express my appreciation to my fellow Directors of the Peet Board; they have worked diligently in applying a wealth of experience and expertise in coordination with our very committed management team.

Peet is well-prepared and well-resourced to continue investing in the development of new residential opportunities for a broad range of Australian homebuyers. I wish to emphasise that our property portfolio is centred very much on the affordable market segments, including an increasing focus on mediumdensity projects.

We are aware that achieving home ownership in the 21st Century is as challenging as ever, but remains an important

aspiration for people of all ages and backgrounds. The Peet Group is committed to excellence in the delivery of a diverse range of quality, affordable living opportunities for them in our master-planned communities.

That commitment pays tribute to the strength and passion of our founder, James Thomas Peet, who was responsible for assisting so many families into the property market of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His marketing and sales tactics were highly inventive and clever and would adapt readily to today. He and his successors have continued to innovate and grow our business to where it stands now.

We look forward to continuing to build on his legacy in the years and decades ahead, delivering the rewards of those efforts to our shareholders, syndicate investors and coinvestment partners and, of course, assisting a new generation of Australians to achieve their home ownership dreams.

THIS YEAR, IN 2015,

Peet Limited celebrates the 120th anniversary of our foundation in 1895 with a clear strategy and an adaptable business that underpins our current and future growth objectives.

Peet Limited | Annual Report 7

MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO’S REVIEW

The Peet Group has achieved very solid results for the 2015 financial year – a successful year of consolidation and preparation for further growth and expansion as market conditions and opportunities permit.

Peet improved its overall performance across the business and, in particular, maintained and improved its operating margins despite having no direct exposure to what was the best performing property market in the country (Sydney).

The Group recorded a strong uplift in net profit after tax to $38.5 million on the back of a stronger second half of the year as a result of continuing strength in the Victorian market and a weighting of settlements in the second half of the year.

Peet has moved into the new financial year with a strong balance sheet having produced net operating cash flows of $113 million during FY15 and ended the year with net cash and debt headroom of more than $127 million, and reduced gearing[5] of 23.8%, which is at the lower end of the targeted gearing range of 20-30%.

With ongoing, strong relationships with co-investment partners in place, the Group is well positioned to further leverage the Funds Management business.

A highlight of the year was the acquisition of the remaining 14% of CIC Australia, which has delivered strong returns and further geographic diversification through an established and growing presence in New South Wales/ACT, South Australia and the Northern Territory. In the past 12 months, we have been able to further grow this presence with additional acquisitions in South Australia (Bluestone Mt Barker) and the ACT (Kingston Apartments).

These acquisitions and other interests during the year totalled approximately 4,000 lot equivalents with a total GDV[6] of approximately $1 billion and included a 50% interest in Golden Bay south of Perth, acquired under our Funds Management platform, and a parcel of land adjacent to Peet’s high-performing Aston project in Melbourne’s northern corridor.

Following the end of the year, Peet also took a strategic decision to sell our Arena project in Greenvale, Victoria for $93.1 million, with settlement to occur in instalments over three years. This was in line with our continued focus on maximising our return on capital employed, with the proceeds from the sale allowing Peet to redeploy funds into a number of prospective opportunities currently being canvassed.

The strength of the Group’s overall performance for the 2015 financial year was particularly pleasing, given the slight reduction in sales and settlements – sales were 8.4% lower at 3,229 and settlements were down 6.4% with 3,266 recorded for the period. These lower sales and settlements reflect some very successful projects such as Warner Lakes in Queensland and Crace in the ACT coming to an end during the year, as well as moderating sales volumes in Western Australia, though demand for affordably priced lots has remained solid.

Peet’s medium-density strategy progressed during the year and our settlements include 140 apartments, with a further 340 under construction or in the design phase. They are part of a pipeline of approximately 1,700 units/apartments already identified across the national portfolio.

More than half of the FY15 settlements were achieved in the second half of the year and the Group entered the new financial year with good momentum courtesy of 2,061 contracts on hand[7] with a gross value of $440.9 million.

8 Peet Limited | Annual Report

Peet remains well positioned to leverage its Funds Management platform and high-quality partnerships to optimise growth OPPORTUNITIES.

Aston, VIC
----- End of picture text -----

Up to 12 new projects with a total of almost 19,000 lot equivalents are expected to commence development and sales within the next three years including up to four in Perth’s eastern corridor where sales were strong last financial year, Flagstone City in South East Queensland, and four in Victoria. More than 85% of the lots in these projects sit within the Funds Management business and together represent approximately 40% of the existing pipeline.

More than 80% of Peet’s entire land bank is expected to be in development by the end of FY17. Our portfolio of more than 47,000 lots with an on-completion value in excess of $11.3 billion is well balanced between east and west coast markets with the highest proportion of managed projects in Queensland and Western Australia.

5 (Total interest bearing liabilities (including land vendor liabilities) less cash)/(Total assets adjusted for market value of inventory less cash, less intangible assets). Excludes Syndicates consolidated under AAB10.

In the year ahead, we will continue to focus on our wholesale relationships and leverage our Funds Management platform to pursue growth opportunities. We have the capacity to seek out, assess and take up opportunities to restock our pipeline in a disciplined and timely manner with new projects across the country – and provide quality opportunities to existing and new investors.

In FY15, we were pleased to offer investors an opportunity to invest in the Peet Tarneit Land Syndicate, which is developing a 300-lot estate in Victoria where sales were tracking ahead of expectations in the first quarter of FY16. It was pleasing to note a significant increase in applications for this latest Peet land syndicate from new investors, predominantly from the east coast, which strengthens the Group’s retail investor base.

Another syndicate opportunity is actively under consideration and anticipated for release in the second half of FY16.

Group strategy

Peet’s strategy remains to pursue shareholder value by managing its land bank with a focus on maximising returns on capital invested. The Group will continue the reweighting of the business to Funds Management and its disciplined execution of the capital management strategy.

Most importantly, we remain committed to the delivery of quality, affordable residential communities around Australia, targeted predominantly at the low and middle market segments.

In early 2015, the innovative Invita Apartments Stage 1 (developed in joint venture with the BGC Group) was named Australia’s best Affordable Development by the Urban Development Institute of Australia and in August 2015, The Village at Wellard (a joint venture with the WA Housing Authority) was awarded Western Australia’s best Masterplanned Development. Such awards are an indicator of our determination to deliver excellence and innovation in our ongoing work with co-investment partners and institutional and retail investors, and to deliver new opportunities for home ownership to the market.

Key elements of Peet’s strategy for the year ahead and beyond include:

  • continuing to deliver high-quality, master-planned communities, adding value and facilitating additional investment in amenity and services wherever possible;

  • managing the Group’s land bank of more than 47,000 lots to achieve optimal shareholder returns;

  • continuing to assess opportunities to acquire quality residential land holdings under our Funds Management platform, with a strategic focus on acquisitions on the east coast;

  • an ongoing focus on maximising return on capital employed in all our key markets;

  • maintaining a strong focus on cost and debt reduction; and

  • identifying and assessing further growth opportunities in line with our strategic objectives and as appropriate in market conditions.

Outlook

Peet is well positioned for sustainable long-term growth and value creation and our positive outlook is supported by market fundamentals.

Mixed market conditions are expected to continue through FY16, though the Group’s greatest near-term exposure is to the well-performing Victorian market; the commencement of Flagstone City in Queensland will boost the contribution to earnings from that market and, in Western Australia, new projects in the better-performing eastern corridor will commence in the year ahead.

Our geographic diversity gives us the flexibility to manage through the variable conditions across the country. The Victorian market remains very positive with increased activity in the residential housing market and positive price movement underpinned by strong population growth. The ACT market is also expected to continue to perform well and there is moderate price growth in Brisbane where demand remains steady.

The South Australian market is expected to continue in recovery mode with increased interest in the affordable market segment and continuing good conditions in the inner ring of Adelaide, while the Northern Territory market is moderating after a period of strong demand.

In Western Australia, where economic conditions are subdued, demand for land has reverted to more average levels and there could be a further moderate decline in prices as production levels are adjusted to reflect market conditions. Peet will ensure its product offering is well-suited to the more active, affordable sector in the year ahead.

The Peet Group has entered the new financial year in a strong financial position with low gearing and cash and headroom of some $127 million. We will continue to respond to market conditions with a focus on accelerating production where possible and actively managing the product mix available to our key markets – delivering affordable product targeted at the low and middle market segments, including an increasing focus on medium-density.

Peet is fortunate to have a strong and skilled executive and management group supported by a national team who deliver innovation and excellence, and consistently work diligently on behalf of our investors, partners and residents.

I also take this opportunity to personally thank the Board and members of Peet Limited who have again provided such valuable support during the year.

As we mark the 120th anniversary of continued operations for Peet, it is appropriate to note that the strength of our organisation has always been based in its people and our partners. Thank you also to our 21st century co-investment partners, investors and stakeholders – and the residents of our communities across Australia – who allow us to build on the legacy of our founder, James Thomas Peet.

We look forward to building on his fine traditions in the years ahead – and sharing the rewards that follow.

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

2,061 CONTRACTS on hand[10] as at 30 June 2015 with a gross value of $440.9 million

Group EBITDA[9] revenue[8] of of $360.9 $92.4 MILLION MILLION

More than 3,200 owned and $815.9 managed lots sold with a MILLION gross value of

More than 3,260 lots settled with a gross value of $812.8 MILLION

Total land bank of almost 47,300 lots[10] with an on-completion value of more than

$11.3 BILLION

The Group achieved 3,229 sales (with a gross value of $815.9 million) and 3,266 settlements (with a gross value of $812.8 million) for the full year. While this represents a decrease of 8.4% and 6.4% respectively compared with the previous year, it is noted that the lower sales and settlements reflected, in part, continuing moderating conditions in the Western Australian property market; the substantial completion in 2014 of the highly successful Warner Lakes project in Queensland and the Crace project in ACT; and a moderating Northern Territory market.

Peet Limited has achieved solid results in variable market conditions around Australia in the 2015 financial year with a strong uplift in net profit after tax, of 22%, and an increase in revenue[8] , also of 22%, to $360.9 million.

Peet’s performance reflects strong results from its Development projects, particularly in Victoria, with sound contributions from across the balance of the business.

During the year, Peet also moved to 100% ownership of CIC Australia having previously held a controlling interest of 86%, and made selective acquisitions of land holdings to restock its national pipeline (predominantly through its Funds Management platform), while at the same time significantly reducing net debt and strengthening its balance sheet.

These factors were generally offset by the continued strong performance across the Group’s portfolio of Victorian projects.

Flagstone Rise, QLD
----- End of picture text -----

The Group’s settlements included a total of 140 apartments – part of an expanding pipeline of medium-density opportunities identified within the Peet national portfolio. At the start of FY16, there were a further 340 apartments under construction or in the design phase and a pipeline of approximately 1,700 units or apartments identified.

More than half of the Group’s settlements were achieved in the second half of FY15 and it entered the new financial year with good momentum from 2,061 contracts on hand[11] , with a gross value of $440.9m.

The Group’s performance resulted in a 25% increase in EBITDA[12] to $92.4 million (compared to $73.7 million in FY14) and the net EBITDA[12] margin of 26% was a slight improvement on FY14 (25%). The lift in the performance of the Group’s Development projects was a major contributor and follows significant investment in Development projects over the past three years. Aston, in Melbourne’s northern corridor, in particular, delivered good results in terms of volume and price growth and some of the acquisitions made during the year were of parcels adjoining Aston, which will extend the life of the project and allow the efficient sharing of infrastructure in the future.

Quayside, an apartment project in the ACT, was another significant contributor in FY15.

The upward trend in earnings reflected an increased exposure to the eastern seaboard in FY15 and Peet has the right business strategies in place to target earnings growth.

Three new projects commenced during the year in the eastern corridor of Western Australia, where there is good demand from the affordable market sector; in the economic centre of the Adelaide Hills at Mt Barker; and in Tarneit in Victoria where Peet has already completed two successful syndicated projects.

Peet will continue to meet market demand by investing in the development of new lots and related infrastructure, while effectively managing net debt, which was reduced by 31% during the year.

It’s expected that up to another 12 new projects will commence development within the next two to three years, representing approximately 40% of the pipeline. More than 85% of these lots are within the Funds Management business.

Risk management

The Group recognises, and has systems, skills and processes in place to manage key risks to its activities. Operating and financial performance is influenced by a number of risks impacting the property sector. These include general economic conditions; government policy influencing a range of matters including population growth; household income and consumer confidence; the employment market; and land development conditions and requirements, particularly in relation to infrastructure and environmental management.

Global and domestic economic factors which may influence capital markets and the movement of interest rates are also risks faced by the Group.

The property market is cyclical and, while the Group is impacted by fluctuations in the market, it has also proved its capacity to manage through various cycles over a very significant period of time.

At an individual project level, residential property developments also face a number of risks related to the price and availability of capital, the timeliness of approvals, delays in construction, and the level of competition in the market. Peet has a long history of managing these risks at an individual project and portfolio level.

Project portfolio

The Peet Group has a diversified land bank across all Australian mainland states and territories. As at 30 June 2015, the Group’s total land bank was approximately 47,300 lot equivalents with an estimated on-completion value of approximately $11.3 million.

Peet manages and markets high-quality residential projects, often on behalf of syndicate, joint venture or co-investment partners. The Group’s emphasis is on larger, master-planned community projects, underpinning future cash flows and performance.

Its portfolio is geographically balanced, which enables it to manage the variable market conditions around the country, and balanced between Development, Funds Management and Joint Ventures. In FY15, Peet’s exposure to the more subdued Western Australian market was balanced by its projects on the eastern seaboard, and moderated by the relatively lower proportion of Development projects in Western Australia.

The value and strength of the Peet Group’s relationships with co-investment partners was demonstrated during the year with the acquisition of seven new projects comprising more than 4,000 lots/dwellings with a gross development value of approximately $1 billion.

In the year ahead, Peet will continue to focus on its wholesale relationships to pursue further growth opportunities.

Carrying value of inventories and other adjustments

Peet recorded nil write-downs during the 2015 financial year, compared to write-downs of $1.8 million in FY14.

Capital management

The Group’s sustained capital management strategy, focussed on debt reduction, cost control and the implementation of business efficiencies, contributed to a significant improvement in its capital position over the 2015 financial year.

While it has invested significantly and appropriately in the delivery of new homesites to meet market demand, the Group also reduced its interest-bearing debt (including its convertible notes) by 20% during the year (from $295.5 million at 30 June 2014 to $234.9 million at 30 June 2015).

Approximately 53% of the Group’s interest-bearing debt was hedged as at 30 June 2015, compared with 47% at the same time in the previous year, and the Group has executed a number of forward starts, which will further hedge future interest costs.

The Group produced net operating cash flows of $113 million during the year, representing a significant improvement on the $37 million achieved in the previous year. The Group is well positioned to take advantage of future growth opportunities, in line with favourable market conditions, with net cash and debt headroom of $127.4 million at 30 June 2015.

The Group’s gearing ratio[13] was reduced to 23.8% as at 30 June 2015, compared with 29.8% as at 30 June 2014, which was at the lower end of the targeted range of 20-30%.

The Peet Group’s Development projects performed well during the year, underpinned by strong sales and settlements at the Aston and Greenvale projects in Melbourne’s northern corridor, and strong settlements achieved at the Quayside apartment project in the ACT.

Peet has benefited from the significant investment in Development projects made over the past three years.

The performance of this business sector during the year, in terms of sales and earnings, also reflects the strength of our exposure to the better-performing Victorian market. Some 70% of sales in Development projects in FY15 came

from our Victorian portfolio. Revenue from Development projects for the year increased by 79%, compared with FY14, to $186 million.

EBITDA[14] increased by 83% to $45.7 million and the EBITDA[14] margin increased slightly to 25%.

During the 2015 financial year, the Group achieved almost 580 sales at Development projects, representing a 15% increase.

There were almost 600 lots, including three super lots, settled at a gross value of more than $195 million and, at 30 June 2015, there were 245 contracts on hand with a gross value of $58.7 million.

At the end of the financial year, preparations were under way for the start of new projects in Baldivis, one of the fastest growing areas in Perth; and another south-west of Melbourne where there is considerable demand for affordable product.

At year end, the Peet Group’s Development projects comprised the equivalent of more than 12,570 lots, with an estimated on-completion value of more than $2.6 billion.

The Peet Group manages and markets residential developments on behalf of land syndicates and under project management and co-investment arrangements.

The Group’s Funds Management business performed solidly during FY15, with strong sales and price growth achieved across Victorian projects off-set by the completion of Kingsford in Victoria and Warner Lakes in Queensland. Nonetheless, fee revenue for the year increased by 7% over the previous year to $38.6 million and the EBITDA[16] margin remained steady at 69%.

There were almost 1,770 sales during the year, representing a decrease of 4% over the previous year, for a gross value

of $433.8 million and there were more than 1,700 settlements, 3% fewer than FY14, for a gross value of $388.9 million.

The Funds Management portfolio comprises almost 29,500 lots – or more than 60% of the Group’s total portfolio – with an on-completion value of almost $7.5 billion. More than half the 12 projects scheduled for release in the next three financial years will be from the Funds Management portfolio and spread across Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

This includes Flagstone City in South East Queensland, which comprises more than 11,700 lots and has an anticipated project lifespan of more than 25 years.

The Funds Management portfolio was boosted during the year when the Group raised equity of approximately $51 million to fund its interests in six high-quality strategic residential development projects. Three of the projects were acquired jointly with quality investment partners.

In the second half of the year, the $10 million syndication of a parcel of land in Tarneit, Victoria, was closed over-subscribed and sales are tracking ahead of expectations.

HIGHLIGHTS DURING THE 2015 FINANCIAL YEAR INCLUDED:

SUSTAINABILITY

The Peet Group delivers quality master-planned communities that are responsive to the needs of our diverse Australian community and demonstrate sound standards in economic, social and environmental performance.

Our responsive development methodology ensures we support the changing needs of our communities as they evolve, from inception to maturity and beyond.

Our success is founded on sound economic, social and environmental performance, which continues to drive our growth and development around Australia.

WELLARD SQUARE AT THE VILLAGE AT WELLARD

was officially opened by the Western Australian Minister for Housing, the Hon. Bill Marmion, and celebrated by around 3,000 visitors and residents in November 2014. Wellard Square is a social and economic base for the local and wider community with a large Woolworths supermarket, speciality stores, a pharmacy and medical centre, cafes and dining options – all located between the John Wellard Community Centre and the Wellard Train Station.

AT RIVERBANK

in the urban growth area of Caboolture, in Queensland, a targeted housing affordability program, designed to attract key workers, was substantially finalised during the year. The $15,000 bonus, backed by the Federal Government’s Housing Affordability Fund, was available to the first 100 eligible homebuyers and investors. It was made possible by a partnership between Peet, the Federal Government and Moreton Bay Regional Council, and was one of the innovations offered to address a shortage of quality, affordable housing in the Caboolture region.

THE EARLY YEARS

POST-WAR EXPANSION

Peet & Co.

James Peet arrived in Perth in 1895 and established a real estate business in William Street. By the turn of the century Peet & Co. was managing some 20 estates from ‘distant Scarborough’ to Kalamunda in the hills. By 1907, when it was incorporated as Peet & Co. Limited, the firm were also auctioneers and had built a reputation for making land ownership accessible and easy for ordinary people. The business moved its headquarters to 46 St Georges Terrace in 1910 and within two years was marketing and selling 96 estates that ranged the length and breadth of the metropolitan area.

WORLD WAR 1

Patriotic Peet

During World War I (1914 – 1918) James Peet continued to help people into their own homes with generous incentives. He also spearheaded the WA Sand Bag Fund and, after the war, helped ex-services personnel into homeownership.

==> picture [111 x 170] intentionally omitted <==

Peet & Co., and especially James Peet, is involved in the war effort at home.

PRESTIGIOUS PERTH

During the 1910s and 1920s Peet was marketing some of Perth’s most prestigious communities in Mt Lawley, South Perth, Nedlands, Claremont and Dalkeith, and extending their releases along the coast at Scarborough. It was a time that showcased James’s wit and wisdom when it came to marketing and Peet & Co. became one of WA’s most recognised and respected real estate firms.

DEPRESSION & WAR

– 1929 1945

The Great Depression (1929 – 1939) took its toll on the whole community. Unemployment reached an unimaginable 40 per cent in 1933 and people were unable to meet their basic living needs let alone rent or home repayments.

World War II also had a devastating impact on the property industry. With material and labour shortages, combined with the Commonwealth Government’s moratorium on private building in 1942, the housing industry was effectively curtailed until after the war.

==> picture [110 x 81] intentionally omitted <==

Always a positive thinker, James Peet released his ‘joy germ’ during the Great Depression and backed up his beliefs with tangible support for people in need.

==> picture [110 x 147] intentionally omitted <==

James Thomas Peet passed away on 26 August 1935, aged 73.

Big Wins

After World War II there was pent-up demand for housing – some 50,000 new homes would be needed in the decade following the end of the war. By mid-century Peet & Co had 83 estates on offer. In 1955 respected real estate professional Geoff Russell joined the company and, together with Cyril Peet, led Peet & Co. during the housing resurgence. By 1968 Peet & Co. was offering an extensive range of services, including house and vacant land sales, land subdivisions, commercial and industrial properties, consultancy services, auction services, property management, rental properties, conveyancing, sworn valuations and acting as agents for building companies.

MINING BOOM

The mining boom of the 1960s and 1970s fuelled even greater demand for housing and developers started offering bigger subdivisions with between 100 and 400 lots.

21st CENTURY PEET

PEET’S REACH Changing of Peet & Co. properties dominated the classified pages the Guard

Peet & Co. properties dominated the classified pages of Perth’s major newspapers through the 1970s – everything from inner city apartments, suburban family homes to outer suburban and rural retreats were offered.

The winds of change blew through Peet & Co. in the mid-1980s in the form of Tony Lennon – a man who had already had great success and forged a strong reputation in the real estate industry – and Warwick Hemsley, a young man who had been working in the State’s planning agency before being recruited by Mr Lennon. In 1986 Ian Palmer, who had also previously operated his own property business, joined Peet as a Director.

A ‘prestige building site’ in Dianella was offered at ‘upset prices’ from $4,500 on 10% deposit and a large, threebedroom home in City Beach carried a price tag of just $55,000.

RE-FOCUS

Perth Grows Quickly

During this era, the business was re-focussed on the specialised services of land syndication, project management and marketing of land estates. Peet also continued to develop some of Perth’s best-known estates including Kinross, St Michel, St Clair, St Paul’s, Village Green, Bramley Waters, Winthrop, Atwell Waters and Ocean Lagoon.

The northern coastal corridor was expanding and Peet offered land sales at Mullaloo (from $20,000 for ocean views); established the Yatala land syndicate to develop the award-winning Carramar Golf Course Estate; and took up the Burns Beach syndicate where it would later develop an estate where prime coastal lots would sell for more than a million dollars. Perth was growing fast and while mortgage rates may have skyrocketed in the mid-1970s, so did building approvals – a 90 per cent increase to October 1975 over the previous year.

RETRACING OLD STEPS

James Peet originally landed in Brisbane when he arrived from England and also lived in Melbourne before heading west. Throughout his career, he frequently returned east, inspecting properties and visiting various parts. Decades later, the business that carried his name would expand nationally, developing new communities for new generations of Australians.

National Growth

In 1997 Peet & Co. made its first foray into the Victorian market with the St Johns Wood Estate in Berwick and the development of Panorama Estate. More estates in Victoria soon followed with Point Cook Gardens and Innisfail.

In the early part of the 21st century, Peet continued to diversify – expanding its residential development business with the acquisition of its first estate in Queensland in 2002 (Warner Lakes).

Victorian operations also grew considerably and, in August 2004, Peet purchased its first estate in New South Wales, Pickett’s Valley.

EXPANSION

Peet & Co. Limited listed on the Australian Stock Exchange on 5 August 2004 – the initial public offering was oversubscribed.

In 2006 the company’s name was changed to Peet Limited, with a new visual identity expressing the company’s confidence in its future direction while retaining its core values, solid reputation and rich history.

Peet Prosper, 2004

New Direction and Powerful Partnerships

In 2007, Brendan Gore who had joined Peet just two years earlier as Chief Financial Officer took over as Managing Director from Warwick Hemsley who remained a Director of Peet until 2011. Under Mr Gore’s leadership, Peet expanded its leadership team and its Funds Management business and its land bank considerably, forging strong relationships with institutional and government partners.

GROWTH

Peet continues to expand and, in 2015, completed the acquisition of CIC Limited, extending the Peet Group’s portfolio across every mainland state and territory.

In its 120th year, Peet Limited manages more than 65 land and residential developments, carrying on the legacy of James Thomas Peet.

The result reflects the strong performance of Development projects, particularly in Victoria, with continued sound contributions across the balance of the business�

Revenue of $360�9 million was achieved, representing an increase of 22% over FY14, with a marked shift in earnings to the east coast�

The Group’s performance resulted in EBITDA of $92�4 million, compared to $73�7 million in FY14 (an increase of 25%) with the net EBITDA margin of 26% slightly improved on FY14 (25%)�

The performance has resulted in earnings per share of 8�3 cents for the year ended 30 June 2015, compared to 7�0 cents per share for FY14, representing an increase of 18%�

As previously announced to the market in the first half of the year, the Group raised equity of approximately $51 million to fund its interests in six high quality strategic residential development projects� Three of the projects were acquired jointly with quality investment partners, providing the Group with the opportunity to further leverage and grow its Funds Management business� Two of the projects were already in production and contributed to earnings in FY15�

In the second half of the year, the $10 million syndication of a parcel of land in Tarneit, Victoria, was closed oversubscribed and, at 30 June 2015, plans for the release of the first lots were well advanced on the back of strong demand from the market�

1 Comparative period is 30 June 2014, unless stated otherwise. The non-IFRS measures have not been audited.

3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (CONTINUED)

OPERATIONAL COMMENTARY

The Group achieved 3,229 sales (with a gross value of $815�9 million) and 3,266 settlements (with a gross value of $812�8 million) for the full year, representing a decrease of 8�4% and 6�4% respectively compared with FY14�

The lower sales and settlements reflected, in part, continuing moderating conditions in the Western Australian property market; the substantial completion in 2014 of the highly successful Warner Lakes project in Queensland and the Crace project in ACT; and a moderating Northern Territory market�

These factors were generally offset by the continued strong performance across the Group’s portfolio of Victorian projects�

Approximately 55% of the Group’s settlements were achieved in the second half of FY15 and, as at 30 June 2015, there were 2,061[8] contracts on hand, with a gross value of $440�9 million providing solid momentum into the new financial year� This compares with 1,990[8] contracts on hand with a gross value of $467�9 million at 30 June in 2014� The decrease in value of the contracts on hand as at 30 June 2015 is predominantly attributable to the settlement of apartment sales at Quayside in the ACT�

Funds management projects

The Group’s Funds Management business performed solidly during FY15, with strong sales and price growth achieved across Victorian projects off-set by the end of the Warner Lakes project in Queensland and the moderating Western Australian market�

  • EBITDA[9] of $28�4 million compared with $29�7 million in FY14�

  • Net EBITDA[9] margin of 69%, the same as in FY14�

Development projects

The strong performance of Development projects was underpinned by the settlements achieved at the Aston and Greenvale projects in Victoria and the settlements achieved at the Quayside apartment project in ACT�

  • 578 lots sold for a gross value of $167�1 million, compared with 501 lots ($141�4 million) in FY14�

  • 245 contracts on hand as at 30 June 2015 with a total value of $58�7 million, compared with 269 lots ($91�6 million) as at 30 June 2014�

  • EBITDA[9] of $45�7 million compared with $25�0 million in FY14�

  • Net EBITDA[9] margin of 25%, compared with 24% in FY14�

  • 883 lots sold for a gross value of $215�1 million, compared with 1,190 lots ($281�7 million) in FY14�

  • 951 lots settled for a gross value of $228�8 million, compared with 1,268 lots ($308�9 million) in FY14�

  • 666 contracts on hand as at 30 June 2015 with a total value of $165�2 million, compared with 753 lots ($181�2 million) as at 30 June 2014�

  • EBITDA[9] of $21�4 million compared with $27�4 million in FY14�

GROUP STRATEGY

The Group will continue to target the delivery of shareholder value and quality residential communities around Australia by leveraging its land bank; working in partnership with institutional and retail investors; and continuing to meet market demand for a mix of product in the growth corridors of major Australian cities�

Key elements of the Group’s strategy for the year ahead and beyond include:

  • continuing to deliver high-quality, masterplanned communities, adding value and facilitating additional investment in amenity and services wherever possible;

  • managing the Group’s land bank of more than 47,000 lots to achieve optimal shareholder returns;

  • continuing to assess opportunities to acquire quality residential land holdings under our funds management platform, with a strategic focus on acquisitions on the east coast;

  • an ongoing focus on maximising return on capital employed in all our key markets;

  • maintaining a focus on cost and debt reduction; and

  • identifying and assessing further growth opportunities in line with our strategic objectives and as appropriate in market conditions�

FY16 will see the commencement of development of a further seven projects in the key markets across Australia�

After the end of the financial year, in August 2015, the Group announced the sale of its Arena project in Greenvale Victoria for a total of $93�1 million with settlement to occur in instalments over three years� This sale is in line with the Group’s continued focus on maximising its return on capital employed, with proceeds from the sale of Arena allowing the Group to redeploy funds into a number of prospective opportunities currently being canvassed�

RISKS

The Group’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a number of risks impacting the property sector� These include general economic conditions; government policy influencing a range of matters including population growth; household income and consumer confidence; the employment market; and land development conditions and requirements, particularly in relation to infrastructure and environmental management�

Global and domestic economic factors which may influence capital markets and the movement of interest rates are also risks faced by the Group�

The property market is cyclical and, while the Group is impacted by fluctuations in the market, it has also proved its capacity to manage through various cycles over a very significant period of time�

At an individual project level, residential property developments also face a number of risks related to the price and availability of capital, the timeliness of approvals, delays in construction, and the level of competition in the market� The Group has a long history of managing these risks at an individual project and portfolio level�

The Group’s financial risk management policies are set out in note 16 to the financial report�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 41

3. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND CONSOLIDATED RESULTS (CONTINUED)

OUTLOOK

The Australian property market continues to benefit from good population growth, a low interest rate environment and relatively low unemployment rates� However, there also remain some key challenges including changing consumer and business sentiment; the contracting resources sector, particularly in Western Australia; other job losses in the manufacturing sector, and the ongoing issue of affordability� The challenge of affordability continues to be mitigated by Peet through the delivery of affordable product targeted predominantly at the low and middle market segments, including an increasing focus on medium density projects�

During the year, Peet settled on the sale of 140 apartments, with a further 340 under construction or in the design phase and a pipeline of approximately 1,700 apartments identified across the national portfolio�

The Group’s geographic diversity positions it well to manage through the mixed conditions expected to continue in the Australian property market through FY16:

  • in Western Australia, the market has reverted back to more average levels, with demand higher for lower price products;

  • the Victorian market remains very positive with increased activity in the residential housing market and positive price growth underpinned by population growth;

  • activity in Queensland is increasing, albeit at a reasonably slow rate and coming off historic low levels;

  • the Australian Capital Territory market is expected to continue to perform well;

  • the South Australian market is expected to continue in recovery mode with increased interest in the affordable market segment and continuing good conditions in the inner ring of Adelaide; and

  • the Northern Territory market is moderating after a period of strong demand�

The Group has entered the new financial year in a strong financial position with low gearing and cash and debt headroom of some $127 million� The Group will continue to respond to market conditions and target the delivery of shareholder value and quality residential communities around Australia by leveraging its national land bank; working in partnership with institutional and retail investors; and delivering a mix of product in the growth corridors of major Australian cities�

The Group has the experience, a committed team and right business strategies to target earnings growth� Peet is well positioned to deliver more than 3,500 settlements in FY16, with earnings expected to be skewed to the second half�

To ensure Peet delivers on its growth strategy it must have the right people to lead the Group over the long-term and a competitive remuneration framework that encourages our Executive Team to continue to make decisions with a view to creating long-term value for shareholders and all stakeholders�

In considering remuneration outcomes, the Board Remuneration Committee (Committee):

  • (a) balances Peet’s financial performance with the development and implementation of strategies for the long-term benefit of the Group; and

  • (b) takes into account the underlying scale of Peet’s operations which are not fully identifiable from a pure focus on the Group’s statutory accounts�

44 Peet Limited | Annual Report

12. REMUNERATION (CONTINUED)

While the statutory financial statements show total revenue of $354�4 million and earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of $92�4 million, Peet management remains responsible for a greater scale of business�

In addition to its own land development properties, Peet is also responsible for the management of a significant portfolio of land development properties held within its Funds management business�

If these properties were combined with those of Peet, total Group revenues increase to $812�8 million and total EBITDA increases to $192�3 million�

Accordingly, the scale of business from which Peet derives its revenues and earnings, which drive its capacity to pay dividends to shareholders, is extensive�

Key remuneration outcomes of the Committee’s deliberations are as follows:

  • The base pay of the Executive Team for the 2015 financial year increased by less than 4% on a weighted average basis from the base pay for the 2014 financial year (2014 base pay was in line with the base pay for the 2013 financial year)�

  • The MD received a 3% increase in base pay during the year ended 30 June 2015� Before 2015, his base pay was last increased with effect from 1 July 2011�

  • Short–term incentives will be paid to the Executive Team in respect of the year ended 30 June 2015� This follows a positive assessment of the Executive Team’s performance against a balanced scorecard, which includes consideration of both Group financial, strategic and individual targets�

  • During the year, long-term incentive performance conditions were tested as at 30 June 2014 resulting in the partial vesting of performance rights and the subsequent issue of ordinary shares during the 2015 financial year to participants in Peet’s long-term incentive plan�

  • There was an increase in the base fee of Non-executive Directors during the year� Their base fees were last increased with effect from 1 July 2006�

Peet also takes the opportunity to confirm that the MD’s remuneration package for the year ending 30 June 2016 will be the same as 2015, notwithstanding his contractual entitlement to an adjustment of at least CPI�

We encourage our shareholders to use the cash value of remuneration realised table on page 50 to assess the remuneration outcomes for Executives in the year ended 30 June 2015 and the alignment of these outcomes with the Group’s performance�

The key difference between the cash value of remuneration realised and the statutory remuneration is the value included in the statutory remuneration table for potential future outcomes under the long-term incentive� A value is required to be included in the statutory remuneration table to account for long-term incentives that may or may not vest in the future, while the value for long-term incentives included in the cash value of remuneration realised table represents the value of shares actually issued to executives following the vesting of performance rights�

The Board is satisfied that these remuneration outcomes for the year ended 30 June 2015 are appropriately performance-based while at the same time recognising the strategic needs of the Group, and we commend this report to you�

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

  • B� PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION

The objective of the Company’s executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered� The framework aligns executive reward with achievement of strategic objectives for the long-term benefit of the Company and shareholders� The Board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • competitiveness and reasonableness;

  • acceptability to shareholders;

  • performance linkage/alignment to executive compensation; and

  • capital management�

In consultation with external remuneration consultants in prior financial years, the Company has structured, and continues to evolve, an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to our reward strategy through the following features�

Alignment to shareholders’ interests

  • has a relevant measurement of financial performance as a core component of plan design;

  • rewards implementation of strategy focused on building Peet’s Funds management business;

  • focuses the executive on other key financial and non-financial drivers of long-term value; and

  • attracts and retains high-calibre executives�

In prior years the Remuneration Committee of the Board had given consideration to the most appropriate financial measure to align the creation of shareholder value with incentive arrangements for senior management� Consideration was given to relative performance against comparable listed companies, measuring growth in Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA), relative performance in measures such as Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Average Funds Employed (ROAFE) and absolute performance in measures such as ROE and ROAFE�

After due consideration the Remuneration Committee recommended to the Board, and it agreed, to assess financial performance for the purposes of FY15 long-term incentive awards against ROAFE, together with funds under management growth which has been applied for several years�

The Remuneration Committee and the Board will continue to assess the applicability of all short-term and long-term related key performance indicators as they are applied in assessing performance for remuneration purposes�

Alignment to program participants’ interests

  • rewards capability and experience;

  • provides a clear structure for earning rewards; and

  • provides recognition for contribution�

The framework provides a mix of fixed and variable pay, and a blend of short and long-term incentives� As employees are promoted to executive and senior management roles within the Company, the balance of this mix shifts to a higher proportion of ‘at risk’ rewards�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 47

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS’ FEES (INCLUDING THE CHAIRMAN’S FEES)

Fees and payments to Non-executive Directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors� Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are reviewed periodically by the Remuneration Committee and the Board� The Remuneration Committee considers, as appropriate, the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure Non-executive Directors’ fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market� Non-executive Directors do not receive share options or performance rights�

The Non-executive Directors’ remuneration is inclusive of committee fees and fees for their membership on any subsidiary Boards� From 1 July 2014, the fees payable to the Non-executive Directors was increased by 15% along with an increase in fees for Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Management Committee by $10,000 each� Non-executive Directors may also be entitled to fees where they represent Peet on the Board of Syndicates�

Non-executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders� Shareholders approved a resolution at the 2012 AGM to increase the aggregate Non-executive Directors’ fees pool to $900,000�

The Non-executive Directors do not receive any form of retirement allowance�

EXECUTIVE PAY

The Company’s pay and reward framework for an Executive Director and other (non-director) key management personnel has the following components:

  • base pay and benefits;

  • short-term performance incentives; and

  • long-term incentives�

The combination of these comprises the total remuneration for the individual concerned�

i� Base pay and benefits

The base pay for Executives is structured as a total employment cost package, which may be delivered as a mix of cash and prescribed non-financial benefits and includes superannuation�

Executives are offered a competitive base pay that comprises the fixed component of pay and rewards� As and when considered appropriate, external remuneration consultants provide analysis and advice to ensure base pay is set to reflect the market for a comparable role� Base pay is reviewed annually to ensure it remains competitive with the market�

ii� Short-term performance incentives (STI)

Executives have a target STI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of their specific role and impact on the Group’s performance� The maximum target bonus opportunity for the Executives for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 ranged between 100% and 25% of the relevant executive’s base pay� However, the Board of Directors has the discretion to pay over and above these amounts�

Each year, the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) to link to the STI plan and the level of payout if targets are met for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD)� This may include setting any maximum payout under the STI plan and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of STI� The MD will then set the STI key performance indicators (KPIs) to apply to his direct reports (being the non-director executive)�

48 Peet Limited | Annual Report

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

KPIs for each executive are set by reference to the following criteria based on their specific role:

  • financial targets;

  • business growth targets;

  • stakeholder engagement;

  • people and process improvements; and

  • maintenance and enhancement of health, safety and environmental platforms within the Group�

For the year ended 30 June 2015, the MD and other Executives were assessed as follows against the KPIs:

WEIGHTING % ACHIEVED % FORFEITED
CATEGORY MD EXECUTIVES MD EXECUTIVES MD EXECUTIVES
Financial targets 55.0% 55.0% 55.0% 55.0%
Business growth targets 25.0% 15.0% to 35.0% 25.0% 15.0% to 35.0%
Stakeholder engagement 7�5% 0.0% to 7.5% 7.5% 0.0% to 7.5%
People and process improvements 7�5% 5.0% to 20.0% 7.5% 5.0% to 20.0%
Health, safety and environment 5.0% 5.0% 5.0% 5.0%
100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

For the year ended 30 June 2014, the KPIs linked to the STI plan were based on very similar criteria�

iii� Long-term incentives (LTI)

Traditionally, the Company has provided its Executives with LTIs through participation in the Peet Limited Employee Share Option Plan (PESOP) and/or the Peet Limited Performance Rights Plan (PPRP)�

Executives have a target LTI opportunity depending on the accountabilities of their specific role and impact on the Group’s performance� The maximum target opportunity for the Executives for the years ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 ranged between 100% and 50% of the relevant executive’s base pay�

Each year, the Remuneration Committee considers the appropriate targets and KPIs to link to the LTI plan and the level of payout if targets are met for the Executives� This may include setting any maximum payout under the LTI plan and minimum levels of performance to trigger payment of LTI� Further details of the Company’s LTI structures are included in the section titled ‘Share based compensation’�

C� DETAILS OF REMUNERATION

Details of the statutory and cash value of remuneration of each Director and Executives of the Group are set out in the tables following�

The table below sets out the total cash value of remuneration realised for the Directors and Executives and provides shareholders with details of the “take-home” pay received during the year� These earnings include cash salary and fees, superannuation, non-cash benefits received during the year and the value of shares issued to Executives following the vesting of Performance Rights (PRs) during the financial year� The table does not include the accounting value of share based payments consisting of performance rights granted in the current and prior years required for statutory purposes� This is because those share based payments are dependent on the achievement of performance hurdles and so may or may not be realised�

54 Peet Limited | Annual Report

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 1

The issue of a share based payment award to a Director requires shareholder approval and the value at grant date is taken as the date at which that approval is granted� Accordingly, the value of these performance rights is based on 15 November 2011, 28 November 2012, 26 November 2013 and 26 November 2014, being the dates of Peet Limited’s 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 AGMs, respectively�

NOTE 2

These options are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis at the exercise price after the fourth anniversary of the grant date�

The exercise condition in respect of these options is that Mr Gore remains employed as Managing Director for a period of four years� Although the service period requirement has been met, the options have not been exercised�

NOTE 3

These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 50% subject to the Funds under Management (FUM) growth vesting condition�

FUM growth is measured as the cumulative value of properties:

  • acquired by Peet on balance sheet and subsequently sold into a Peet syndicate; or

  • funded by way of a Peet syndicate; or

  • for which Peet has been appointed a joint venture partner; or

  • for which Peet has been appointed development manager during the performance period�

The aggregate of the FUM growth during the performance period is then compared to the FUM growth target set by the Board�

Of the performance rights subject to FUM growth, the proportion to vest will be as follows:

AGGREGATE FUM GROWTH TARGET PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
PERFORMANCE LEVEL DURING PERFORMANCE PERIOD THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Less than $60 million 0%
Target $60 million 50%
Target – maximum $60 million to $100 million Pro-rata between 50% and 100%
Maximum Greater than $100 million 100%

The group achieved the FUM growth target of $121�7 million for the three year performance period ended 30 June 2014� Accordingly, the performance condition was met and on 18 September 2014 the Directors resolved that the PRs relating thereto vested�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 55

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

NOTE 4

These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 50% subject to the Relative Return on Equity (ROE) vesting condition�

Relative ROE is measured as the average net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) over the three year vesting period divided by the average starting and ending equity, compared to the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials� The ROE hurdle operates as follows:

ROE RESULT COMPARED TO PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
PERFORMANCE LEVEL S&P/ASX 200 INDUSTRIALS THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Below 50th percentile 0%
Target Equal to 50th percentile 50%
Target – maximum Between 50th and 70th percentile Pro-rata between 50% and 100%
Maximum Greater than 70th percentile 100%

The Board has the discretion to amend the calculation of ROE to take account of capital raisings, approved by the Board for the long-term benefit of the Company, but which have short-term implications on the calculation of ROE�

The Group’s ROE for the three year performance period ended 30 June 2014 was below the 50th percentile of the S&P/ASX 200 industrials� Accordingly, the Relative ROE performance condition was not met and on 18 September 2014 the Directors resolved that the proportionate number of PRs relating thereto lapsed�

NOTE 5

These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 40% subject to the FUM growth vesting condition�

FUM growth is measured as detailed in note 3 above�

Of the PRs subject to FUM growth, the proportion to vest will be as follows:

AGGREGATE FUM GROWTH TARGET PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
PERFORMANCE LEVEL DURING PERFORMANCE PERIOD THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than the target Less than $60 million 0%
Target $60 million 50%
Target – medium $60 million to $100 million Pro-rata between 50% and 70%
Medium – maximum $100 million to $150 million Pro-rata between 70% and 100%
Maximum Greater than $150 million 100%

The group achieved the FUM growth of $88�9 million for the three year performance period ended 30 June 2015� Accordingly, the performance condition was partially met and on 12 August 2015 the Directors resolved that 64% of PRs thereto vested�

The PRs for the performance period ended 30 June 2016 and 30 June 2017 remain unvested�

NOTE 6

These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 60% subject to the Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) growth vesting condition, measured over a three year period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2015 (FY13 Performance Period)�

EBITDA growth is measured as the aggregate EBITDA achieved over the FY13 Performance Period, compared to the Board’s internal EBITDA target for the FY13 Performance Period� The calculation of EBITDA is based on “underlying” EBITDA� That is, it does not include either write-downs of inventories and/or development costs or increases in the carrying value of inventories�

56 Peet Limited | Annual Report

13. REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Of the performance rights subject to EBITDA growth, the proportion to vest will be as follows:

PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
PERFORMANCE LEVEL THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than 85% of the target 0%
85% of the target 30%
85% to 90% of the target Pro-rata between 30% and 50%
90% to 100% of the target Pro-rata between 50% and 70%
100% to 120% of the target Pro-rata between 70% and 100%
Greater than 120% of the target 100%

The Group achieved underlying EBITDA of $219�2 million against the target of $156�8 million for the three year performance period ended 30 June 2015� Accordingly, the EBITDA growth performance conditions attached to the PRs were met and on 12 August 2015 the Directors resolved that 100% of the PRs relating thereto vested�

NOTE 7

These PRs are convertible to ordinary shares on a 1:1 basis, with 60% subject to the Return on Average Funds Employed (ROAFE) vesting condition, measured over a three year period from 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2016 (FY14 Performance Period) and 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017 (FY15 Performance Period) respectively� ROAFE is measured as the average of the Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) and write-downs of inventories and/or development costs or increases in the carrying value of inventories divided by the average of the sum of net debt, convertible notes, contributed equity, non-controlling interests and retained earnings�

The ROAFE is compared to the Board’s internal target ROAFE for the FY14 and FY15 Performance Period respectively�

Of the PRs subject to ROAFE, the proportion to vest will be as follows:

PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
PERFORMANCE LEVEL THAT MAY BE ELIGIBLE TO VEST
Less than 75% of the target 0%
75% of the target 30%
75% to 85% of the target Pro-rata between 30% and 50%
85% to 100% of the target Pro-rata between 50% and 70%
100% to 110% of the target Pro-rata between 70% and 100%
Greater than 110% of the target 100%

These PRs remain unvested�

72 Peet Limited | Annual Report

Basis of Reporting

This section of the financial report sets out the basis of preparation of the consolidated financial statements� Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates�

1. Reporting entity

This financial report covers the consolidated financial statements for the Consolidated Entity consisting of Peet Limited and its subsidiaries (“Group”)� The Financial report is presented in the Australian currency� Peet Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia� Its registered office and principal place of business is; Level 7, 200 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000� The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ report� Peet Limited is a for-profit entity�

2. Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report which:

  • has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 ;

  • comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB);

  • has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative instruments which have been measured at fair value;

  • provide comparative information in respect of the previous period; and

  • is rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars or in certain cases to the nearest dollar in accordance with ASIC Class Order 98/100�

a. Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during the year ended 30 June 2015� The Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • Power over the investee (i�e� existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);

  • Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns�

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control�

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiary� Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the statement of comprehensive income from the date the Group gains control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary�

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the equity holders of the parent of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance� All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation�

b. Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights� In the case of syndicates, significant influence can exist with a lower shareholding by virtue of the Group’s position as project manager� Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost�

The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income� The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment� Dividends receivable from associates are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment�

When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long-term receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 73

2. Basis of preparation (continued)

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates� Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred�

c. Investment in joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are arrangements of which two or more parties have joint control� Joint control is the contractual agreed sharing of control of the arrangement which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control� Joint arrangements are classified as either a joint operation or joint venture , based on the rights and obligations arising from the contractual obligations between the parties to the arrangement�

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the individual assets and obligations arising from the joint arrangement, the arrangement is classified as a joint operation and as such, the Group recognises its:

  • Assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

  • Liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

  • Share of revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and

  • Expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly�

To the extent the joint arrangement provides the Group with rights to the net assets of the arrangement, the investment is classified as a joint venture and accounted for using the equity method� Under the equity method, the cost of the investment is adjusted by the postacquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the venture�

d. Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a gain or loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group� A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary� Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Peet Limited�

e. Changes in accounting policies

The Group has adopted all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective from 1

July 2014� New and amended Standards and Interpretations did not result in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies� The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new or amended Standards or Interpretations that are issued but not yet effective (refer note 26 (ix))�

3. How to read the annual report

The notes to the financial statements are set out into four specific sections:

  • Performance for the year;

  • Operating assets and liabilities;

  • Capital management; and

  • Other

Where an accounting policy is specific to one note, the policy is described in the note to which it relates�

Key estimates are described in the following notes:

  • Note 5 – sales fall over rates on project management and selling fees;

  • Note 8 – deferred tax assets; and

  • Note 9 – net realisable value�

Financial instrument risk management is carried out by the finance department under policies approved by the Board of Directors and the Audit and Risk Management Committee� The department identifies, evaluates and mitigates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units� The Board and Audit and Risk Management Committee provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as mitigating interest rate and credit risks, use of derivative financial instruments and investing excess liquidity�

Financial risks and its management are detailed in the respective notes it pertains to� The Group’s activities expose it to financial risks including:

  • credit risk (note 11);

  • liquidity risk (note 16); and

  • interest rate risk (note 16)�

Related party transactions are disclosed within the notes they relate to� Transactions which occur between the Group and significant controlled entities are classified as related parties� Significant controlled entities are interests held in associates and joint ventures, which are set out in note 10� Details relating to the key management personnel, including remuneration paid, are included in item 13 of the Directors’ report�

74 Peet Limited | Annual Report

Performance for the year

Funds management

Highlights for the year

  • ✔ Revenue up by 28%

  • ✔ Net profit after tax up by 27%

✔ EBITDA[1] up by 25%

  • ✔ Basic EPS up by 18%

This section focuses on the results and performance of the Group�

Peet enters into asset and funds management agreements with external capital providers� Peet and/or the external capital provider commit equity funds towards the acquisition of land and this is generally supplemented with debt funds either at the time of acquisition or during the development phase of a project�

The Group derive fees from underwriting, capital raising and asset identification services� Ongoing project related fees (mainly project management and selling fees as well as performance fees) are then derived by the Group for the duration of a particular project�

4. Segment information

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker� The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive management group�

The executive management group assesses the performance of the operating segments based on multiple measures including earnings before interest (including interest and finance charges amortised through cost of sales), tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”), earnings before interest (including interest and finance charges amortised through cost of sales) and tax (“EBIT”) and profit after tax�

The share of profits from associates and joint ventures is included as segment revenue as it is treated as revenue for internal reporting purposes�

The Group operates only in Australia�

The executive management group considers the business to have the following reportable business segments:

Company-owned projects

The Group acquires parcels of land in Australia, primarily for residential development purposes� Certain land holdings will also produce non-residential blocks of land�

Joint arrangements

Joint arrangements are entered into with government, statutory authorities and private landowners� The form of these arrangements can vary from project to project but generally involves Peet undertaking the development of land on behalf of the landowner or in conjunction with the co-owner� The Group is typically entitled to ongoing fees for management of the development project and also a share of the profits�

Inter-segment transfers and other unallocated

Segment revenue, expenses and results include transfers between segments� Such transfers are based on an arm’s length basis and are eliminated on consolidation�

The adoption of AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements from 1 July 2013, resulted in certain property syndicates being consolidated� These entities however, continue to be managed and reported to the executive management group as part of the funds management business segment� Adjustments are included in “Inter-Segment Eliminations and Other Unallocated” to reconcile reportable business segment information to the Group’s consolidated statement of profit or loss�

Recognition and measurement

Current taxes

The income tax expense for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate, adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements� Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously�

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply, when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively enacted for each jurisdiction by the end of the reporting period� The relevant tax rates are applied to the amounts of deductible and taxable temporary differences to measure the deferred tax asset or liability� An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability� No deferred tax asset or liability is recognised in relation to these temporary differences if they arise in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss�

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses�

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority�

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity� In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively�

Key estimates

Deferred tax assets

The Group has recognised deferred tax assets relating to carried forward tax losses to the extent there are sufficient taxable temporary differences (deferred tax liabilities) relating to the same taxation authority against which the unused tax losses can be utilised� However, utilisation of the tax losses also depends on the ability of the entity, to satisfy certain tests at the time the losses are recouped�

Refer note 20 for fair value disclosures�

Credit risk

The credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss� The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 30 June 2015 is the carrying amount of the financial assets in the consolidated financial statements�

The credit risk arising on trade and other receivables is monitored on an ongoing basis which results in the exposure to bad debts for the Group not being significant� There are no significant financial assets that have had renegotiated terms that would otherwise have been past due or impaired�

Based on the credit history of these classes, it is expected that these amounts will be received� The Group does not hold any collateral in relation to these receivables� There is no significant concentration of credit risk with respect to receivables as the Group have a large number of balances with related parties and the remaining with other parties that have a good credit history with the Group�

The Group manages this risk by:

  • transacting with credit worthy counterparties that have an appropriate credit history;

  • providing loans as an investment into joint ventures and associates where it is comfortable with the underlying property exposure within that entity;

  • performing ongoing checks to ensure that settlement terms detailed in individual contracts are adhered to;

  • regularly monitoring the performance of its associates, joint ventures and third parties; and

  • obtaining collateral as security (where appropriate)�

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market� They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance date which are classified as non-current assets�

Recognition and measurement

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated� Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses�

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance date� The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability� The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 85

14. Provisions (continued)

Rebates

The Group may be required under the terms of certain sale contracts to provide rebates for expenditures undertaken by land holders in respect of developments� These expenditures relate to landscaping and fencing and are generally payable where the land purchaser completes the construction of their dwelling within a specified period of time� This period is generally 12 to 18 months from the date of settlement� A liability is recorded at settlement and a related adjustment to profit or loss is recorded upon the expiration of the time limit if the rebate has not been paid�

Employee entitlements

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date� Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of the employee, departures and periods of service� Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows�

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt�

The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio� This ratio is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities (including deferred payment obligations) less cash, divided by total assets adjusted for market value, net of cash and cash equivalents less intangible assets� At 30 June 2015, the bank covenant gearing ratio was 23�8% (2014: 29�8%)�

a. Bank loans

The bank facilities are secured by a first registered fixed and floating charge over the assets and undertakings of the Group being inventories with a carrying amount of $521 million (2014: $541 million) (note 9), cash and cash equivalents of $58 million (2014: $39 million), receivables of $101 million (2014: $81 million) (note 11) and property, plant and equipment of $11 million (2014: $11 million)� Under these facilities the Group is required to meet bank covenants relating to interest cover, gearing ratio, real property ratio and minimum shareholders equity� All bank covenants have been met during the reporting period and as at 30 June 2015�

The Group’s main bank facility of $220 million was extended to October 2017� The table below analyses the maturity of the Group’s bank loans based on the remaining period at reporting date to the contractual maturity date:

Recognition and measurement

b. Convertible notes

Peet Limited issued 500,000 convertible notes for $50 million on 16 June 2011� The notes are convertible into ordinary shares of Peet Limited, at the option of the holder, or repayable on 16 June 2016� The conversion rate is 44�44 shares for each note held, which is based on a fixed conversion price of $2�25 (subject to adjustment for certain dilutionary and other capital transactions)�

The convertible notes are presented in the balance sheet as follows:

1� Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 12�23% to the liability component�

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting period� The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged� The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the cash flows of recognised assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges)�

The Group documents at the inception of the hedging transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions� The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been and will continue to be highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items�

The gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instruments at fair value is recognised in other comprehensive income and deferred in equity in the hedge reserve, to the extent that the hedge is effective� It is reclassified into profit or

88 Peet Limited | Annual Report

loss when the hedged interest expense is recognised� The ineffective portion is recognised in the statement of profit or loss immediately� There was no ineffectiveness in the current or prior year�

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the statement of profit or loss� When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately reclassified to the statement of profit or loss�

Bank loans of the Group currently bear a weighted average variable interest rate before hedges of 2�53% (2014: 2�96%)� It is the Group’s policy to protect part of the loans from exposure to increasing interest rates� Accordingly, the Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts under which it is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates�

Swaps currently cover approximately 40% (2014: 35%) of the variable bank loan principal outstanding and are timed to expire as each loan repayment falls due� The fixed interest rate swaps range between 5�05% to 5�08% (2014: 4�54% and 5�69%) and the variable rates are between 2�08% and 2�72% (2014: 2�56% and 3�30%)�

The contracts require settlement of net interest receivable or payable monthly� The settlement dates coincide with the dates on which interest is payable on the underlying debt�

The notional principal amounts and periods of expiry of the interest rate swap contracts were as follows:

2015 2014

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk includes the risk that the Group, as a result of their operations:

  • will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on due date;

  • will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or

  • may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset at all�

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due, and the ability to close-out market positions� Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available, and regularly updating and reviewing its cash flow forecasts to assist in managing its liquidity� The maturity analysis of the Group’s derivative and non-derivative financial instruments can be located in their respective notes�

The Group has unused borrowing facilities which can further reduce liquidity risk�

Credit risk

The cash component of financial assets is considered to have low credit risk as the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies�

Interest rate risk

The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from cash and long-term borrowings�

Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk� Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk�

The Group manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps� Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates� Generally, the Group raises long-term borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly�

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, otherwise current�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 89

16. Borrowings and derivative financial instruments (continued)

Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly monthly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts�

The Group’s fixed rate borrowings and receivables are carried at amortised cost� They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as defined in AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures

Interest rate sensitivity

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates in existence at balance date, and the stipulated change taking place at the beginning of the financial year and held constant throughout the reporting period� A 50 basis point increase or decrease used in the interest rate sensitivity analysis was determined based on the level of debt that was renewed and forecasters’ economic expectations and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in interest rates�

At 30 June 2015, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to variable interest rates:

20. Fair value measurement

Valuation of financial instruments

For financial assets and liabilities, the Group uses the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

  • Level 1: the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities�

  • Level 2: the fair value is determined using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)�

  • Level 3: the fair value is based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data�

Financial instruments measured at fair value

The Group’s derivative financial instruments were valued using market observable inputs (Level 2) at the carrying value of $3�4 million (2014: $3�3 million)�

There have been no transfers between levels during the year�

Other financial instruments – fair value disclosures

The carrying value of receivables, payables and borrowings is considered to approximate their fair values�

The fair value of convertible notes is the quoted market value (on ASX) of a convertible note which at 30 June 2015 was $102�5 per note (Level 2)�

Key estimates

Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes�

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives and trading and available for sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance date� The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price; the appropriate quoted market price for financial liabilities is the current ask price�

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, unlisted securities) is determined using valuation techniques� The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each balance date�

  • Interest rate swaps are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs such as forward pricing and swap models�

  • Receivables/borrowings are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as interest rates and individual creditworthiness of the counter party� Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables�

  • Fair value of the convertible notes is based on price quotations at the reporting date�

The carrying amount of trade receivables and payables less impairment provision of trade receivables are assumed to approximate their fair values� The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments�

24. Share based payments

Peet Employee Share Option Plan (PESOP) and Peet Performance Rights Plan (PPRP)

The establishment of the PESOP was approved by the Board and shareholders during the 2004 financial year and the Peet Limited PPRP was approved by shareholders at the 2008 AGM� Employees of any Group Company (including Executive Directors) will be eligible to participate in the PESOP and/or PPRP at the discretion of the Board�

Invitations to apply for options and/or performance rights

Eligible employees, at the discretion of the Board, may be invited to apply for options and/or performance rights on terms and conditions to be determined by the Board including as to:

  • the method of calculation of the exercise price of each option;

  • the number of options and/or performance rights being offered and the maximum number of shares over which each option and/or performance rights is granted;

  • the period or periods during which any of the options and/or performance rights may be exercised;

  • the dates and times when the options and/or performance rights lapse;

  • the date and time by which the application for options and/or performance rights must be received by Peet;

  • any applicable conditions which must be satisfied or circumstances which must exist before the options and/or performance rights may be exercised�

Eligible employees may apply for part of the options and/ or performance rights offered to them, but only in specified multiples�

Consideration

Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment will be required for a grant of options and/or performance rights under the PESOP and/or PPRP�

Vesting and exercise conditions

Under the plans, options and/or PRs only vest if the employees are still employed by the Group at the end of the vesting period, subject to the Board’s discretion, and any set performance hurdles have been met�

Generally, as a pre-condition to exercise, any exercise conditions in respect of an option and/or performance right must be satisfied� However, the Board has the discretion to enable an option and/or performance right holder to exercise options and/or performance rights where the exercise conditions have not been met, including, for example, where a court orders a meeting to be held in relation to a proposed compromise or arrangement in respect of the Company, or a resolution is passed or an order is made for winding up the Company� Options granted under the PESOP and performance rights under the PPRP carry no dividend or voting rights�

Lapse of options and performance rights

Unexercised options and/or performance rights will lapse upon the earlier to occur of a variety of events specified in the rules of the PESOP and PPRP including, on the date or in circumstances specified by the Board in the invitation, failure to meet the options’ or performance rights’ exercise conditions in the prescribed period or on the expiry date of options and/ or performance rights, as determined by the Board�

Fair value of options and performance rights granted

The fair value of an option and PRs at grant date is determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and the value of a performance right at grant date is determined using a Binomial pricing model� The models take into account the exercise price, the term of the option and/or performance right, the vesting and performance criteria, the impact of dilution, the non-tradeable nature of the option or performance right, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option and/or performance right�

98 Peet Limited | Annual Report

24. Share based payments (continued)

The inputs for assessing the fair value of the performance rights issued during the year under the PPRP were:

Expected price
Share price at volatility of Risk free Assessed fair
Grant date Exercise price Expiry date grant date shares interest rate value
26 Nov 14 $0.00 30 Jun 19 $1.155 30% 2.45% $1.065
22 Dec 14 $0.00 30 Jun 19 $1.025 30% 2.92% $0.938

The expected price volatility is based on the historic volatility (based on the remaining life of the options and/or performance rights), adjusted for any expected changes to future volatility due to publicly available information�

Total expenses arising from share based payment transactions recognised during the year as part of employee benefit expense is $2,377,000 (2014: $2,736,000)�

25. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

On 14 August 2015, the Group announced the sale of Arena residential estate in Greenvale, north of Melbourne, Victoria for $93�1 million� The sale is unconditional, with settlement to occur in instalments over three years� The first instalment of $29 million is due in December 2015, the second instalment of $26 million is due in June 2016 and the third instalment of $40�1 million is due in June 2018�

Further, the Directors have declared a final franked dividend of 3�0 cents per share in respect to the year ended 30 June 2015� The dividend is to be paid on Wednesday, 30 September 2015, with a record date of Friday, 18 September 2015� No provision has been made for this dividend in the financial report as the dividend was not declared or determined by the directors on or before the end of the financial year�

26. Other Accounting Policies

i. Investments and other financial assets

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on trade-date - the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset� Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss� Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of profit or loss� Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership�

When securities classified as available for sale are sold or impaired, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statement of profit or loss as gains or losses from investment securities�

Measurement

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset� Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss�

Available for sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value� Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss category are presented in the statement of profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise� Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as part of revenue from continuing operations when the Group’s right to receive payments is established�

Fair value

Details on how the fair value of financial instruments is determined are disclosed in note 20�

Impairment

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired� In the case of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered in determining whether the security is impaired� If any such evidence exists for available for sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the statement of profit or loss� Impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit or loss on equity instruments classified as available for sale are not reversed through the statement of profit or loss�

ii. Intangible assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of management rights� The management rights acquired by the Company are initially carried at cost� Amortisation is calculated based on the timing of projected cash flows of the management rights over their estimated useful lives�

  • Management rights – 10 to 25 years

iii. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are shown at historical cost less depreciation� Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items�

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

  • Fixtures and fittings – 3 to 10 years

  • Leasehold improvements – 10 years

  • Property – 40 years

100 Peet Limited | Annual Report

26. Other Accounting Policies (continued)

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance date� An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount� Gains or losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount� These are included in the statement of profit or loss�

iv. Profit sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit sharing based on a formula that takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments� The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation�

v. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits� The Group recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or providing termination benefits because of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy� Benefits falling due more than 12 months after balance date are discounted to present value�

vi. Retirement benefit obligations

Contributions to defined contribution funds are recognised as an expense as they become payable� Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available�

vii. Goods and services tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority� In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense�

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis� The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows�

viii. Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases� Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the period of the lease�

Parent entity financial information

Tax consolidation legislation

Peet Limited and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation as of 1 July 2003� Peet Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group� Members of the group are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the entities are set-off in the consolidated financial statements�

The entities in the tax consolidated group entered into a tax sharing agreement which limits the joint and several liability of the wholly owned entities in the case of a default by the head entity, Peet Limited� At the balance sheet date the possibilities of default were remote�

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the Group�

Any difference between the amount assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) the wholly owned entity�

Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost in the individual financial statements of Peet Limited� Such investments include both investments in shares issued by the subsidiary and other Parent Entity interests that in substance form part of the Parent Entity’s investment in the subsidiary� These include investments in the form of interest-free loans which have no fixed repayment terms and which have been provided to subsidiaries as an additional source of long-term capital�

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable� The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet�

Peet Limited | Annual Report 101

26. Other Accounting Policies (continued)

ix. New accounting standards and interpretations

Except as disclosed below, accounting policies have been consistently applied over all periods presented� The Group has adopted all new and amended Australian Accounting Standards and AASB Interpretations as of 1 July 2014; including:

Reference Description
AASB 2013-3 Amendments to AASB 136 –
Recoverable Amount Disclosures for
Non-Financial Assets
AASB 2013-3 amends the disclosure requirements in AASB 136 Impairment of Assets.
The amendments include the requirement to disclose additional information about the
fair value measurement when the recoverable amount of impaired assets is based on
fair value less costs of disposal.
AASB 2013-4 Amendments to AASB 139s –
Novation of Derivatives and Continuation
of Hedge Accounting
AASB 2013-4 amends AASB 139 to permit the continuation of hedge accounting in
specifed circumstances where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging
instrument, is novated from one counterparty to a central counterparty as a
consequence of laws or regulations.
AASB 2013-5 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Investment Entities
AASB 2013-5 provides an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that
meet the defnition of an investment entity under AASB 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements and must be applied retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief.
The exception to consolidation requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries
at fair value through proft or loss.
The Standard contains three main parts and makes amendments to a number
AASB 2013-9 Amendments to Australian Standards and Interpretations. Part A of AASB 2013-9 makes consequential
Accounting Standards – Conceptual Framework, amendments arising from the issuance of AASB CF 2013-1. Part B makes amendments
Materiality and Financial Instruments to particular Australian Accounting Standards to delete references to AASB 1031 and
also makes minor editorial amendments to various other standards.
AASB 2015-2 makes amendments to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements
arising from the IASB’s Disclosure Initiative project. The amendments are designed to
AASB 2015-2 Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Disclosure Initiative:
Amendments to AASB 101
further encourage companies to apply professional judgment in determining what
information to disclose in the fnancial statements. For example, the amendments
make clear that materiality applies to the whole of fnancial statements and that the
inclusion of immaterial information can inhibit the usefulness of fnancial disclosures.
The amendments also clarify that companies should use professional judgment in
determining where and in what order information is presented in the fnancial
disclosures.

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2015 reporting periods� The Group’s assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below�

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions�
