Review of results and operations

This report should be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2025 Annual Report which provides further information on Vicinity’s strategy, operations, and risks.

(a) Operational update

Financial results

Vicinity’s key measures of financial performance are Funds From Operations ( FFO ) and Adjusted FFO ( AFFO )[1] . To calculate FFO, statutory net profit after tax[2] ( NPAT ) is adjusted for fair value movements, certain unrealised and noncash items, amounts which are capital in nature and other items that are not considered to be in the ordinary course of business. FFO is further adjusted for maintenance capital and leasing costs to calculate AFFO. Vicinity’s distribution policy is to pay out between 95% and 100% of AFFO.

AFFO payout ratio (total distributions declared $m/AFFO $m) (%) 88.4 85.3
FFO payout ratio (total distributions declared $m/FFO $m) (%) 81.3 78.7

Key items which impacted the financial results during the period included:

  • For the six months ended 31 December 2025 ( 1H FY26 ), statutory NPAT was $805.6 million (1H FY25: $492.6 million), comprising FFO $351.0 million (1H FY25: $344.1 million) and $454.6 million (1H FY25: $148.5 million) of statutory, non-cash and other adjustments[2] .

  • At 7.66 cents per security ( cps ), FFO was up 1.3%.

  • NPI increased 1.1% to $468.8 million (1H FY25: $463.5 million), largely driven by comparable NPI[5] growth, up 3.7% and reduced lost rent from development, partially offset by net income dilution from transactions.

1 FFO and AFFO are widely accepted measures of real estate operating performance. They are determined with reference to the guidelines published by the Property Council of Australia. FFO and AFFO are non-IFRS measures and not audited.

2 Reconciliation between statutory NPAT and FFO is included in Note 1(b) of the half year financial report.

3 Calculated based on the basic weighted average number of securities on issue for the period as calculated in Note 6 of the half year financial report.

4 Calculated based on the estimated number of securities outstanding at the time of the distribution record date.

5 Comparable net property income growth excludes transactions, reversal of prior year provisions and development impacts.

Review of results and operations (continued)

(a) Operational update (continued)

Financial results (continued)

  • External management fees were $2.5 million or 9.1% lower due to the transition of a third-party leasing mandate and divestment of co-owned assets.

  • The reduction in net corporate overheads of $1.4 million or 3.3%, reflected Vicinity’s continued disciplined approach to cost management.

  • Lower net interest expense, down $2.7 million or 2.6%, was primarily driven by lower debt levels due to non-strategic asset disposal and DRP proceeds.

  • The $28.2 million spend on maintenance and leasing capital reflected continued investment in Vicinity’s retail assets as well as attracting key retail tenants to improve customer visitation, sales productivity and income growth across the portfolio.

  • Interim distribution of 6.20 cps (1H FY25: 5.95 cps), representing a payout ratio of 88.4% (1H FY25: 85.3%) of AFFO.

Strategic execution

In FY26 to date, Vicinity continued to selectively recycle and allocate capital to fund acquisitions and developments of premium assets with superior income and value growth potential, while at the same time preserving the strength of its balance sheet and credit ratings.

Vicinity is executing this strategy in an environment of favourable retail sector fundamentals. Population growth and increased household spending, together with limited incremental retail floorspace, are collectively driving a growing shortage of retail gross lettable area per capita[6] .

In addition, investor demand for strategically located, premium retail assets with solid growth potential remains strong. In this context and subsequent to period end, Vicinity was pleased to irrevocably accept IFM Investors’ offer to sell its 75% interest of Uptown in Brisbane, Queensland, for $212 million[7] . Contracts are expected to be exchanged by the end of April 2026, with the acquisition then expected to settle in June 2026, following receipt of the required Ministerial consent in relation to certain ancillary land rights.

Adding to the $1.0 billion of non-strategic assets divested since the beginning of FY24, Vicinity has also exchanged unconditional contracts for the divestment of Gympie Central, Whitsunday Plaza and Armidale Central for $250.3 million[8] and Victoria Park Central for $33.8 million[8] , which are scheduled for settlement at the end of February 2026 and by June 2026 respectively. In addition, Vicinity has also exchanged contracts to sell several ancillary land parcels for $43.1 million.

These most recent divestments, totalling $327.2 million, were executed at a blended 18.2% premium to June 2025 book values. Asset divestments to date have allowed Vicinity to self-fund much of its current and future growth and simultaneously, accelerated the shift toward a higher quality, more resilient asset portfolio.

Vicinity Centres | Financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2025

Review of results and operations (continued)

(a) Operational update (continued)

Portfolio performance

The confluence of strengthening shopper confidence and capacity to spend, together with Vicinity’s active tenant remixing and enhanced retail asset portfolio, underpinned 4.2%[9] growth in total portfolio retail sales in 1H FY26 and notably, a 3.0% uplift in specialty sales productivity, to $13,425 per square metre.

The robust retail sales growth in 2H FY25 (up 4.7%) is maintained in 1H FY26 with specialty and mini major retail sales up by 5.1%. On a Moving Annual Turnover ( MAT ) basis, robust sales growth in 2H FY25 and 1H FY26 underpinned a 120 basis points uplift in MAT growth to 4.9%.

Against this backdrop, Vicinity’s portfolio metrics remained positive and continue to support current and future year income growth. Occupancy lifted to 99.6% (Jun-25: 99.5%), leasing spreads remained favourable at +4.6% (1H FY25: +3.5%) and average annual escalators on deals completed during the half remained healthy at 4.7% (1H FY25: 4.8%).

Furthermore, at 14.1%, Vicinity’s Occupancy Cost Ratio provides opportunity for ongoing rent growth, notably in an environment of positive retail sales growth.

Given the increasing shortage of supply, retailers are increasingly seeking out retail floorspace in strategically located, premium retail assets. This is showcased by the portfolio metrics delivered by Vicinity’s premium assets[10] , with leasing spreads of +9.7%, and +5.3% growth in mini major and specialty retail sales.

Developments and mixed-use update

Following the successful completion and launch of Chadstone’s revitalised fresh food precinct, The Market Pavilion, in March 2025 and construction of a new 20,000 square metre, A-Grade office tower, One Middle Road, Vicinity was pleased to welcome the headquarters of Adairs and Kmart. Collectively, Adairs and Kmart add over 2,000 office workers to Chadstone during weekday trading.

Solidifying Chadstone as a highly sought after retail-led, mixed-use destination, Chadstone is now home to more than 6,500 office workers, across >50,000 square metres of fully occupied office space. Furthermore, Hotel Chadstone hosts close to 65,000 visitors per year, spanning family staycations, domestic and international tourists and commercial visitors.

Of note, the first stage of the reopening of Chatswood Chase was successfully launched on 23 October 2025. Visitation in November and December surpassed expectations, with the asset welcoming 2.4 million visitors and generating $118.9 million in retail sales.

Housed in a new retail mall and anchored by 12 luxury brands and other local and international category-leading retailers, the Stage 2 opening will establish Chatswood Chase as the most prominent, compelling and differentiated retail destination on Sydney’s affluent north shore.

Construction is also progressing on the $240.0 million Galleria redevelopment (Vicinity share: $120.0 million), with completion targeted for pre-Christmas 2026. The project will deliver a revitalised mall, modern entertainment precinct, refurbished cinema and enhanced retail and dining experiences.

From a mixed-use strategy perspective, Vicinity is increasingly well-positioned to advance residential developments at Chatswood Chase and Bankstown Central in Sydney. Given their strong alignment with state government housing priorities, sites at both assets are proposed for high density residential use and have been endorsed for the State Housing Development Authority’s accelerated assessment pathway, providing a faster planning process.

9 Sales are reported for comparable centres, which excludes divestments and development-impacted centres in accordance with Shopping Centre Council of Australia guidelines. Unless otherwise stated, sales growth is reported against the same period a year earlier. 10 Vicinity’s premium asset portfolio comprises Chadstone, Outlet Centres, CBD and Premium Shopping Centres.

Net tangible assets per security (NTA)11($) 2.52 2.40
Drawn debt12($m) 4,281.1 4,180.1
Gearing12(%) 26.3 26.6

Key items which impacted the balance sheet during the period included:

  • Investment properties and equity accounted investments up $657.7 million, or 4.2% mainly due to investment in development and AFFO capital expenditure of $228.0 million, property revaluation increments on directly owned and equity accounted investment properties of $422.8 million and $19.8 million respectively, and is net of other statutory adjustments. The net revaluation increment was largely driven by income growth and the compression of capitalisation and discount rates. Further information can be found in Note 3 of the half year financial report.

  • Interest bearing liabilities up $11.4 million, or 0.3% primarily due to drawdowns to fund development activities at Chatswood Chase, Chadstone and Galleria, and other capital expenditure. This is offset by the proceeds from asset disposals and DRP completed during the period, and further reduced by the non-cash foreign exchange translation gain of $62.1 million on foreign currency denominated notes as a result of a stronger Australian dollar in the current period.

  • Derivative financial instruments (net) down $41.5 million, predominately due to fair value loss on the aforementioned stronger Australian dollar, partially offset by movement in the interest rate yield curve.

Development related capital expenditure and the offsetting impact of the revaluation uplift in investment properties resulted in a minor reduction of 30 bps in the gearing ratio decreasing to 26.3% as at 31 December 2025. This remains within the Group’s long-term target range of 25%-35%.

11 Calculated as net assets (including right of use assets) less intangible assets, divided by the number of stapled securities on issue at period end.

12 Refer to Note 5 of the half year financial report for the calculation of drawn debt and gearing ratio.

(c) Capital management[13]

During the period, the following capital management activities have been completed:

  • Net drawdowns in the period of $101.0 million to fund the aforementioned development activities and other capital expenditure, partially offset by repayments from operating cash flows and units issued under DRP of $91.2 million;

  • Repaid US$224.0 million US Private Placement notes with US$ proceeds received under the related cross currency swap in December 2025 (equivalent to $309.0 million);

  • Cancelled $250.0 million of bank debt facilities; and

  • Executed $100.0 million of new interest rate swaps for a 4-year tenor.

The table below contains a summary of key capital management metrics for the Group:

31-Dec-25 30-Jun-25
Weighted average cost of debt14 5.0% 5.1%
Proportion of debt hedged 85.8% 90.9%
Weighted average debt duration (based on drawn debt) 3.5 years 3.8 years
Interest cover ratio15 3.8 times 3.8 times
Credit ratings
Moody’s Investors Service A2/stable A2/stable
Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global Ratings A/stable A/stable

Vicinity continues to maintain a conservative and disciplined approach to managing gearing and preserving credit ratings when allocating and deploying capital.

Vicinity’s balance sheet remains strong, with 26.3% gearing which is at the lower end of the Group’s 25%-35% target range, $1.0 billion of available liquidity and 85.8% of the drawn debt hedged as at 31 December 2025. The weighted average cost of debt for the period was 5.0%. The Group continues to hold strong investment grade credit ratings (Moody’s Investors Service A2/stable, S&P’s Global Ratings A/Stable).

This means the Group is well positioned to continue investing in growth priorities, such as the development pipeline and other accretive investment opportunities.

(d) Guidance

Vicinity expects FFO and AFFO per security for the year ending 30 June 2026 to be around the top end of the guidance of 15.0 to 15.2 cents and 12.8 to 13.0 cents respectively.

Vicinity expects its full year distribution payment to be within the target range of 95-100% of AFFO.

13 Refer to Note 5 of the half year financial report for the Group’s capital management policy and the interest cover ratio calculation.

14 Inclusive of margins, line fees and establishment fees.

15 Excludes lease liabilities and adjustments for fair value items and foreign exchange translation.

About This Report

Reporting entity

The financial statements are those of the stapled Group comprising Vicinity Limited ( the Company ) and Vicinity Centres Trust ( the Trust ) (collectively ‘ the Group ’). The Stapling Deed entered into by the Company and the Trust ensures that shares in the Company and units in the Trust are ‘stapled’ together and are traded collectively on the Australian Securities Exchange ( ASX ) under the code ‘VCX’. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has been identified as the parent entity of the Group.

The Company and the Trust are for-profit entities that are domiciled and operate wholly in Australia.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2025 ( the Financial Report ):

  • Has been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and other mandatory professional reporting requirements. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the impact of the new and amended accounting standards described below;

  • Does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report unless otherwise stated. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the 30 June 2025 Annual Report and any public announcements issued during the half year in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Listing Rules of the ASX;

  • Is presented in Australian dollars ( $ ) and rounded to the nearest tenth of a million dollars ( $m ) in accordance with Australian Securities and Investments Commission ( ASIC ) Legislative Instrument 2016/191 (unless otherwise stated);

  • Has been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention, except for certain financial assets and liabilities, and investment properties which have been recognised at fair value; and

  • Was authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 18 February 2026.

Going concern

The Group recorded a net current asset deficiency of $502.2 million (current liabilities exceed current assets) at reporting date (30 June 2025: net deficiency $1,125.0 million), predominately due to the carrying amount of interest-bearing liabilities maturing within the next twelve months of $704.1 million. The Group has access to undrawn facilities of $1,037.0 million (30 June 2025: $1,697.0 million) to settle these borrowings. Further information regarding the Group’s available facilities is disclosed in Note 5(b).

In addition, the Group has cash and cash equivalents of $55.7 million (30 June 2025: $80.7 million) and is expected to generate sufficient operating cash flows to pay its debts as and when they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Accordingly, the Financial Report has been prepared on a going concern basis.

Impact of new and amended accounting standards

New and amended standards that became effective as of 1 July 2025 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group as they are either not relevant to the Group’s activities or require accounting which is consistent with the Group’s accounting policies.

Future impact of Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued but not yet effective

The Group has not adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective and these are not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

The AASB issued AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements in June 2024, which will be effective for the Group in the financial year ending 30 June 2028. While not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial position or performance, AASB 18 is expected to change the presentation of certain items in the financial statements in future periods.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements requires the Group to make judgements in the application of accounting policies and estimates when developing assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. These judgements and estimates are made considering historical experience and other reasonable and relevant factors but are inherently uncertain. Due to this inherent uncertainty, actual results may differ from these judgements and estimates.

The updates to the following significant judgements and estimates are included in the relevant notes to this half year Financial Report:

Financial Report:
Area of judgement or estimation Note
Valuation of investment properties 3
Recoverability of intangible assets 9(a)
Recognition of deferred tax assets 9(b)

In respect of valuation of derivative financial instruments, there was no significant change to the judgements and estimates at 31 December 2025.

Operations

1. Segment information

The Group’s operating segments identified for internal reporting purposes are:

  • Property Investment: performance is assessed based on net property income which comprises revenue less expenses derived from investment in retail property; and

  • Strategic Partnerships: performance is assessed based on fee income from property management, development and leasing of assets wholly or jointly owned by capital partners.

Information on these segments is presented on a proportionate basis. This presents net property income and investment property assets relating to equity accounted properties as if they were consolidated investment properties within the Group’s segment results. This allows for consistent internal reporting on all investment property assets and segment activities to enable the Chief Operating Decision Makers ( CODM ) to make strategic decisions, regardless of ownership structure arrangements. During the period, the CODM were the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director ( CEO ) and the Chief Financial Officer ( CFO ).

Group performance is assessed based on funds from operations ( FFO ), which is calculated as statutory net profit, adjusted for fair value movements, certain unrealised and non-cash items, amounts which are capital in nature and other items that are not considered to be in the ordinary course of business. In addition to FFO, adjusted funds from operations ( AFFO ) is considered when assessing the performance of the Group. AFFO represents the Group’s FFO adjusted for investment property maintenance capital and static tenant leasing costs incurred during the half year. FFO and AFFO are determined with reference to guidelines published by the Property Council of Australia ( PCA ) and are nonIFRS measures.

The material adjustments to net profit after tax to arrive at FFO and reasons for their exclusion are described below:

  1. Property revaluation and other non-cash accounting adjustments relating to equity accounted investments.

  2. Lease incentives are capitalised to investment properties. Amortisation of these items is then recognised as a reduction to lease rental income in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. In accordance with the PCA Guidelines, amortisation of these items is excluded from FFO as:

  3. Static (non-development) lease incentives committed during the period relating to static centres are reflected within maintenance capital and static tenant leasing costs within the AFFO calculation at Note 1(a); and

  4. Development lease incentives are included within the capital cost of the relevant development project.

  5. Non-cash accounting adjustments as required by Australian Accounting Standards are excluded from FFO.

  6. Preliminary planning, marketing and tenant compensation costs which are development-related are excluded from FFO.

Vicinity Centres | Financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2025

3. Investment properties

The Group’s investment properties represent freehold and leasehold interests in land and buildings held either to derive rental income or for capital appreciation, or both. They are initially measured at cost, including related transaction costs. Subsequently, at each reporting period, they are carried at their fair values based on the market value, being the price that would be received to sell an investment property in an orderly, arm’s length transaction between market participants at the reporting date.

Fair values for investment properties are determined by independent (external) valuers or internal valuations. These valuations include the cost of capital works in progress on development projects. As at 31 December 2025, 29 assets were independently valued and 20 assets were valued internally (30 June 2025: 23 independent valuations and 26 internal valuations).

  1. The discount and capitalisation rates are used in the ‘discounted cash flow’ and ‘capitalisation of net income’ valuation methods respectively. The adopted fair value is within the range calculated with reference to the two methods.

  2. The discount and capitalisation rates relate to the core retail component excluding non-retail or ancillary properties.

  3. Box Hill Central North is not included in the weighted average discount and capitalisation rates given the valuation for the property was based on the ‘project related site assessment’ method as disclosed in Note 4(c) of the 30 June 2025 Annual Report.

  4. Northgate was reassessed as meeting the requirements of a Neighbourhood centre and therefore reclassified from Sub Regional to Neighbourhood as at 31 December 2025.

  5. Planning and holding costs relating to planned major development projects are capitalised and carried within the overall investment property balance. The status of each project is reviewed at each period end to determine if continued capitalisation of these costs remains appropriate.

  6. Represents the carrying amount of Victoria Park Central, Gympie Central, Whitsunday Plaza and Armidale Central, which are classified as investment properties held for sale (current asset), as the Group has entered into unconditional sale contracts as at 31 December 2025. These properties have been recorded at their fair value at balance date, which approximated the selling price net of estimated purchase price adjustments.

(c) Portfolio valuation

Valuation process

The Group’s valuation process has not changed significantly since 30 June 2025. Further details of the Group’s valuation process are provided within Note 4(c) of the 30 June 2025 Annual Report.

Significant Judgement and Estimate

The determination of an investment property valuation requires assumptions to be made which may not be based on observable market data in all instances (i.e. discount and capitalisation rates), estimating the future impact of events such as subsequent movements in interest rates, market rents and estimating the cost to complete for properties under development. This means the valuation of an investment property requires significant judgement and estimation.

Key assumptions and inputs

As the capitalisation of income and discounted cash flow ( DCF ) valuation methods include key inputs that are not based on observable market data (namely derived capitalisation and discount rates), investment property valuations are considered “Level 3” on the fair value hierarchy (refer to Note 24 in the 30 June 2025 Annual Report for further details on the fair value hierarchy).

  1. The capitalisation rate is the required annual yield of net market income used to determine the value of the property. The rate is determined with regard to comparable market transactions.

  2. The discount rate is a required annual total rate of return used to convert the forecast cash flow of an asset into present value terms. It should reflect the required rate of return of the property given its risk profile relative to competing uses of capital. The rate is determined with regard to comparable market transactions.

  3. The terminal yield is the capitalisation rate used to convert forecast annual income into a forecast asset value at the end of the holding period when carrying out a DCF calculation. The rate is determined with regard to comparable market transactions and the expected risk inherent in the cash flows at the end of the cash flow period. Leasehold properties with tenure less than 20 years (at the end of the 10year investment horizon) have been excluded from this sensitivity for comparative reasons given the terminal value calculation can differ to take into account the finite term remaining on the leasehold at that time.

All of the above key assumptions have been taken from the 31 December 2025 external valuation reports and internal valuation assessments (where applicable). For all investment properties except for Box Hill Central North, the current use is considered the highest and best use. For Box Hill Central North, the highest and best use is a mixed-use development site.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivities illustrate the impact of changes in key unobservable inputs (in isolation) on the fair value of the Group’s investment properties as at 31 December 2025. Specific key unobservable inputs may impact only the capitalisation of net income method, the DCF method or both methods.

4. Equity accounted investments

Equity accounted investments primarily consist of investment property joint ventures with strategic partners where the property ownership interest is held through a jointly owned trust rather than direct ownership into the property title. The Group has contractual arrangements that establish joint control over the economic activities of these trusts, based on standard market terms.

These investments are accounted for using the equity method.

(a) Summary of equity accounted investments

The Group holds the following investments that are equity accounted:

Ownership Carrying value Carrying value
31-Dec-25 30-Jun-25 31-Dec-25 30-Jun-25

561.8 540.1
Other associates 0.9 0.7
Closing balance 562.7 540.8
  1. The primary asset of the joint ventures is investment property held at fair value. As such the carrying value of equity accounted investments are subject to the same significant judgement and estimate as disclosed in Note 3(c).

Capital structure and financial risk management

5. Interest bearing liabilities and derivatives

Interest bearing liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Foreign currency denominated notes are translated to AUD at the applicable exchange rate at each reporting period with the gain or loss attributable to exchange rate movements recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

(c) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowing funds (such as establishment fees, legal and other fees). Borrowing costs are expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest rate method, except for borrowing costs incurred for the development of qualifying investment properties which are capitalised to the cost of the investment property during the period of development. Borrowing costs also include finance charges on lease liabilities.

(d) Capital management

The Group seeks to maintain a strong and conservative capital structure with appropriate liquidity, low gearing, and a diversified debt profile (by source and tenor). The Group has long-term credit ratings of ‘A2/stable’ from Moody’s Investors Service and ‘A/stable’ from Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings.

Key metrics monitored by the Group include the gearing ratio, interest cover ratio, unencumbered total tangible assets to unsecured debt and the permitted encumbrance ratio. The following items are relevant in calculating these metrics:

5. Interest bearing liabilities and derivatives (continued)

(e) Fair value of interest bearing liabilities

As at 31 December 2025, the Group’s interest bearing liabilities had a fair value of $4,424.7 million (30 June 2025: $4,423.6 million).

The carrying amount of these interest bearing liabilities was $4,469.5 million (30 June 2025: $4,458.1 million). The difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of interest bearing liabilities is due to:

  • Deferred debt costs included in the carrying amount which are not included in the fair value; and

  • Movements in market discount rates on interest bearing liabilities since initial recognition. As fair value is calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows using prevailing market discount rates (with similar terms, maturity, and credit quality), any movements in these discount rates since initial recognition will give rise to differences between fair value and the carrying amount (which is carried at amortised cost).

Had the interest bearing liabilities been recognised at fair value, these would have been classified as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy as the market discount rates used are indirectly observable.

(f) Defaults and covenants

The Group had no defaults on debt obligations or breaches of lending covenants at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: nil).

6. Contributed equity

An ordinary stapled security comprises one share in the Company and one unit in the Trust. Ordinary stapled securities entitle the holder to participate in distributions and the proceeds on winding up of the Group (if enacted) in proportion to the number of securities held. Ordinary stapled securities are classified as equity. All ordinary securities are fully paid.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new stapled securities are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Vicinity Centres | Financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2025

9. Other Group accounting matters

(a) Intangible assets

Intangible assets at 31 December 2025 relate to the value of external management contracts which reflect the right to provide asset management services to strategic partners who co-own investment property assets with the Group and accordingly are allocated to the Strategic Partnerships cash-generating unit, which is also an operating and reportable segment. As the management contracts do not have termination dates, they are considered to have indefinite lives and are not amortised. The Group performs impairment testing for indefinite life intangible assets at least annually, or when there are other indicators of impairment. There are no impairment indicators at 31 December 2025.

The methodology including key inputs and assumptions used in the 30 June 2025 impairment testing are disclosed in Note 17 of the 30 June 2025 Annual Report.

(b) Deferred tax assets

The Group continues to recognise a deferred tax asset, primarily relating to historical tax losses and temporary differences associated with provisions. The recoverability of this deferred tax asset is dependent on the generation of sufficient future taxable income by the Company to utilise those tax losses. Estimation is required in forecasting future taxable income and judgement is applied in assessing an appropriate forecast period.

Key assumptions subject to uncertainty include future property and development management fee revenues, which are linked to the underlying performance and valuation of the investment properties under management by the Company, and the timing and execution of the Group’s property development activities. Changes to the assumptions may result in reversal of deferred tax assets in future financial periods.

(c) Capital commitments

Estimated maintenance, development, and leasing capital of the Group committed at reporting date but not recognised on the Balance Sheet amounted to $186.4 million (30 June 2025: $237.6 million).

10. Events occurring after the end of the reporting period

Subsequent to period end, the Group irrevocably accepted the co-owner’s offer to sell its 75% interest of Uptown in Brisbane, Queensland, for $212.0 million (excluding stamp duty). The contracts are expected to be exchanged by the end of April 2026, with the acquisition then expected to settle in June 2026, following receipt of the required Ministerial consent in relation to certain ancillary land rights.

Other than the matter described above, no matters have arisen since the end of the period which have significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in future financial periods.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
