GMT strategy focused on Auckland industrial property
Date 28 May 2018
Release Immediate
Goodman (NZ) Limited, the manager of Goodman Property Trust (“GMT” or
“Trust”) is pleased to announce the Trust’s financial results for the year ended 31
March 2018.
The successful execution of the Trust’s asset sales programme and the reallocation of
capital into its growing development pipeline is focusing investment in the strongly
performing Auckland industrial market. This strategy is strengthening the balance sheet
and contributing to GMT’s strong financial and operational results.
Highlights for the period include:
+ A statutory profit of $207.2 million before tax (including look-through
1
valuation gains
of $106.3 million), compared to $220.5 million (including look-through valuation gains
of $114.7 million) previously.
+ Operating earnings
2
of $119.1 million before tax or 9.25 cents per unit, compared to
$121.7 million achieved in the previous period.
+ Cash distributions of 6.65 cents per unit, representing around 95% of GMT’s cash
earnings
3
of 6.99 cents per unit.
+ Contracted asset sales of $243.9 million, with a further $323.9 million conditionally
sold post balance date.
+ Commencement of seven new development projects with a total project cost of
$164.8 million.
+ Greater balance sheet capacity with a look through loan to value ratio
4
of 25.0%,
expected to reduce to less than 20% after settlement of all contracted sales.
+ Extension to the retail bond programme, with two $100 million issues.
+ A 6.5% increase in net tangible assets, from 130.4 cents per unit, to 138.9 cents per
unit at 31 March 2018.
Business transformation
Keith Smith, Chairman of Goodman (NZ) Limited said, “We have pursued a disciplined
growth strategy over the last five years, selling assets to fund the Trust’s development
projects. It has rebalanced the portfolio and deleveraged the balance sheet, transforming
GMT and positioning it for sustainable long-term growth.
With the development programme well advanced and asset disposals largely complete
(once contracted sales settle) the Board is extremely pleased with the progress that has
been achieved.”

Following completion of current development projects and contracted sales, GMT’s $2.2
billion portfolio will be 99% invested in Auckland industrial property.
Chief Executive Officer, John Dakin said, “We’re divesting our remaining office assets
and developing high-quality estates such as Highbrook Business Park in East Tamaki. It
is a deliberate strategy that reflects the positive investment characteristics of this type of
property and the strong growth profile of the country’s largest city.”
Keith Smith said, “The Directors are equally satisfied with the Trust’s operational and
financial performance. Positive leasing results and strong valuation gains have
contributed to a substantial profit of $207.2 million before tax.”
Further information on the financial result is provided in the Trust’s 2018 Annual Report
which was released today. A copy of the report has been provided to the NZX and an
online version will be available later this morning at www.goodmanreport.co.nz.
Demand led development
Economic growth, demographic changes, technological advances and the development
of online retailing, are all contributing to the strong demand for logistics and warehouse
space in Auckland.
John Dakin said, “The Trust’s position as the largest owner and developer of industrial
property in New Zealand means it is uniquely placed to benefit from these trends.”
They are also contributing to GMT’s leasing results with over 200,000 sqm of space
secured on new or extended terms since 31 March 2017. This leasing success has
helped maintain portfolio occupancy at over 98% and extended the weighted average
lease term beyond six years.
To meet current and forecast demand the Trust is undertaking a greater level of
development activity. The seven projects announced during the year, which include 24
new warehouse facilities, have a total project cost of $164.8 million.
This strong momentum has continued into the new financial year with two additional
development projects, total cost of $54.1 million, announced in May 2018. The design-
build commitments add to the large volume of work currently under way, with the
combined value of these projects now exceeding $230 million.
John Dakin said, “We have made tremendous progress with our development
programme over the last five years, investing more than $670 million and creating assets
that improve an already high-quality portfolio.”
Balance sheet strength
Disposals have provided the balance sheet capacity to fund the intensification of the
Trust’s development programme.
During the year, three sales totalling $243.9 million were contracted.
Post balance date, it was also announced that the VXV Portfolio had been conditionally
sold to Blackstone, a global investor and fund manager. GMT’s 51% share in the joint
venture that owns the VXV office assets had a gross sale price of $323.9 million.
John Dakin said, “This is a defining transaction for our business, it completes a
repositioning programme that firmly establishes GMT as the country’s leading provider of
high-quality industrial space.
With almost $1.2 billion of asset disposals and contracted sales since 2013 the
investment focus is now almost exclusively on Auckland industrial property. It’s the sector
and market that we believe will deliver the best long-term risk adjusted returns.”
Level 2, 18 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland | PO Box 90940, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142
Tel +64 9 375 6060 | www.goodman.com/nz
With a loan to value ratio expected to be below 20% following completion of the
contracted sales, the Trust retains substantial balance sheet capacity.
Keith Smith said, “GMT has the means to complete its development programme and
pursue new investment opportunities while still maintaining a very prudent level of
gearing.”
Future focus
The current business strategy has enhanced the portfolio, improved earnings quality and
reduced gearing to a historically low level.
The Board expects to achieve cash earnings of around 7.0 cents per unit in FY19, a
similar level to last year. Cash distributions of 6.65 cents per unit are expected to be
paid.
Keith Smith said, “We view the portfolio repositioning as transformative for GMT.
Reinvesting in our development programme will drive future growth and continue to lift
the quality of our assets.
The execution of this investment strategy means that the business is focused and well
positioned for sustainable growth.”

Chairman’s report
Concentrating
our efforts
Focusing on the industrial property
sector in Auckland puts us at the
heart of a substantial and critically
important part of the economy.
14
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Over the last five years we have successfully
repositioned our business, concentrating
investment in the rapidly growing and
supply-constrained Auckland industrial
market. A development-led growth strategy
and successful sales programme have
underpinned this transformation.
With $0.7 billion of new development projects
and almost $1.2 billion of asset disposals and
contracted sales since 2013, we are confident
that the Trust’s portfolio now represents the
very best quality industrial property.
Our quality focus extends beyond the
physical characteristics of the assets we
own. It also includes the valued relationships
we share with customers, investors, our
own people and the communities where
we operate.
With our development programme well
advanced and asset sales now largely
complete, the Board is extremely pleased
with the progress that has been achieved.
The Directors are equally satisfied with
the Trust’s operational and financial
performance. Positive leasing results have
maintained occupancy above 98% and
also contributed to a statutory profit of
$207.2 million before tax.
We will pay cash distributions totalling
6.65 cents per unit this year, with
$85.5 million to be distributed to our
almost 10,000 investors. This is consistent
with earlier guidance.
With a strong balance sheet and a
portfolio focused on the best performing
property sector, the Board is confident
that the business is well positioned for
sustainable long-term growth.
Industrial focus
Industrial property provides the built
infrastructure that businesses need to
operate.
Our properties directly support the
260 companies that lease space in our
portfolio and are the daily workplace for
their 20,000 employees.
It is also an important part of the supply chain,
ensuring goods are stored efficiently and
can be quickly distributed to meet demand,
whenever and wherever that may be.
We also believe industrial property is likely
to provide the best risk-adjusted returns
over the long-term.
These positive investment characteristics are
reflected in another strong valuation result for
GMT this year. The $106.3 million or 4% uplift
in the value of the portfolio (on a look-through
basis) contributed to the 6.5% increase in
GMT’s net tangible asset backing, to $1.39
per unit at 31 March 2018.
The evolution of e-commerce and online
retailing is contributing to the strong demand
for warehousing and distribution space
across Auckland. Sustained economic
growth together with demographic changes
are adding to the requirement for large
logistics facilities located close to consumers.
GMT’s position as the largest owner
and developer of industrial property in
New Zealand means it is uniquely placed
to benefit from rising e-commerce and the
rapidly growing population in the country’s
largest city.

Our development programme has been
accelerated to meet this demand. At the same
time, diminishing greenfield opportunities and
competition for land for residential conversion
means that strategic brownfield sites are
becoming more desirable. This emerging
trend is reflected in our investment strategy as
we look to secure a future pipeline.
Corporate reporting
This year we extended the breadth of the
commentary within our annual report to
provide a broader overview of our business.
This approach allows stakeholders to assess
performance on measures that matter to them.
It’s a story we are proud to tell, and this
report includes additional information
about our business model, the current
investment strategy and achievements in
our sustainability programme.
15
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
All of these areas receive attention from
the Board and, as a responsible corporate
citizen, we want to secure a positive
mandate for the things we do.
We conducted a survey to determine
our material factors this year, asking a
representative group of our stakeholders to
identify and prioritise the items they believe
we should focus on. The comprehensive
results, detailed on page 38, included
16 factors. The most significant being:
+ Customer relationships
+ Sustainable development
+ Resilient property portfolio
+ Capital structure and financial results
+ Health, safety and wellbeing.
These key areas are well aligned with our
business priorities and underpin this year’s
reporting focus.
The Board believes that strong governance
structures provide transparency and lead to
better decision making. Governance is an
area of continual refinement and I’m pleased
to note that as a business we comply with the
eight principles of the recently updated NZX
Corporate Governance Code.
Our performance against these guidelines
is described throughout this report and more
specifically in the Corporate Governance
summary section on page 114.
Better property sector representation
The drive for better and more equitable
outcomes for our stakeholders underpins our
submissions to local and central government.
We undertake this work both directly as
an individual business and collectively
through our various industry memberships.
John Dakin was confirmed as the new
President of the Property Council of
New Zealand’s governing National Council
in April 2018. It is a voluntary position that
offers opportunities to provide industry
leadership on a range of topics.
Chairman’s report (continued)
GMT’s position as the largest owner
and developer of industrial property in
New Zealand means it is uniquely placed
to benefit from rising e-commerce and
the rapidly growing population in the
country’s largest city. ”
“
John’s appointment is extremely positive,
ensuring our interests on matters such as
regional growth, transport policy and taxation
are represented at the highest level.
He has also expressed his desire to make the
industry’s leading body more contemporary,
with improvements required across the sector
in the areas of inclusion and diversity.
Investor forums
This year’s Annual Meeting is to be held
at 1:30pm on 4 July 2018 at Eden Park in
Auckland. The Board encourages investor
participation at all its forums and so we
have selected a meeting venue that is easily
accessible by both public transport and
private motor vehicle. A live webcast will be
broadcast for those who are unable to attend.
The formal business will include the election
of one Independent Director. Further details
will be contained in the Notice of Meeting,
which is expected to be distributed on
or around 12 June 2018. Please take the
opportunity to vote, either using the forms
you receive or through the online portal.
Recognising that our investors are located
throughout the country, the Board and
management team also intend to conduct a
national roadshow later this year. Please take
the opportunity to attend this biennial event
and engage directly with those responsible
for managing your investment.
Future focus
Our business strategy has continued to
enhance the portfolio, adding to the financial
strength of GMT, improving the quality
of its earnings and reducing gearing to a
historically low level.
The conditional sale of GMT’s interests in the
VXV Portfolio, following its 31 March balance
date, has completed the repositioning of
the portfolio with the investment focus now
almost exclusively on Auckland industrial
property. The transaction will also provide
additional balance sheet capacity, reducing
the loan to value ratio from an already
low 25% to less than 20% of total assets.
Consequently the Trust has the means to
complete its development programme and
pursue new investment opportunities while
still maintaining a very prudent level of debt.
The Board expects to achieve cash earnings
of around 7.0 cents per unit in FY19, a similar
level to last year. Cash distributions of
6.65 cents per unit are expected to be paid.
We view the portfolio repositioning as
transformative for GMT. It’s a positive
outcome that outweighs the short-term
reduction in earnings growth as a result of
asset disposals and balance sheet de-
leveraging. Reinvesting in our development
programme will drive future growth and
continue to lift the quality of the portfolio.
The execution of this investment strategy
means that the business we share is
extremely well positioned.
On behalf of the Board

The conditional sale is a defining

settles. The Trust’s portfolio has been
extensively repositioned over this
time with the sale of office assets and
the progression of the development
programme focusing investment in
the Auckland industrial market.
The transaction reflects a passing

two and a half cents per unit to

Customer
focused
We invest ahead of demand, meeting
our customers’ requirements for
high-quality, efficient space in
proven locations across Auckland.
For some years now we have been focusing
our investment strategy in the markets that
we expect to deliver the strongest returns.
We have also committed to owning the very
best property portfolio.
Adopting a long-term view means we invest
for tomorrow as much as today and seek
to build positive and lasting relationships
with all our customers. We believe these
factors make GMT a more sustainable and
resilient business.
Progression of our development programme,
continuing asset sales and selective
acquisitions are all having a positive impact,
refining the portfolio and deleveraging the
balance sheet.
Financial performance
The Trust has delivered strong financial
results over the last three years while the
portfolio has been transformed with asset
sales and new development commitments.

Management report (continued)
Customer relationships
The focus on superior customer service is a
key point of difference for our business. We
work hard at maintaining these professional
relationships because they underpin demand
for space within the portfolio. Superior
service delivery also builds loyalty, so that
our customers approach us first when their
property requirements change.
We have achieved positive leasing results
over the last 12 months with 201,623 sqm
of space, representing around 18% of
the portfolio, secured on new or revised
terms. An impressive 130,574 sqm of these
transactions are repeat business with
existing customers.
This leasing success has maintained portfolio
occupancy at over 98% and helped extend
the weighted average lease term to beyond
six years.
Sustainable development
The progression of our development
programme has helped build a portfolio of
enviable quality, literally building by building,
since 2004. Around 80% of the portfolio has
been developed since then, creating assets
that set the benchmark for industrial and
commercial property.
It is also creating value, with $21.0 million
of this year’s valuation gains attributable to
recently completed projects.
New requirements from existing customers
make up a sizable proportion of our ongoing
work. This trend has continued over the
last 12 months with three of the seven new
development projects pre-committed by
existing customers. The seven projects,
which include 24 new warehouse facilities,
have a total project cost of $164.8 million.
Strong customer demand has continued
into the new financial year with two further
projects, with a total cost of $54.1 million,
announced in May.
All our developments are completed to a
consistently high standard. They incorporate
sustainable design elements and are
constructed using materials and building
processes that minimise waste and other
environmental impacts. Energy saving
technology and low flow water fittings also
means these buildings are operationally
efficient.
The additional investment required to meet
this high-quality specification reflects our
commitment to a low carbon and sustainable
future. The benefits are both immediate
and longer term, combining productivity
gains and reduced operating costs for our
customers with higher investment returns
for our Unitholders and better environmental
outcomes for our communities.

Asset recycling
Asset disposals have provided the balance
sheet capacity that is funding the rapid build-
out of the Trust’s development pipeline. During
the year three further sales were secured.
Totalling $243.9 million, they included:
+ The three level office building at 7 Show
Place in Addington, Christchurch for
$14.5 million
+ The recently completed Steel & Tube
development in Hornby, Christchurch
for $20.4 million
+ The conditional sale of Central Park
Corporate Centre for $209 million.
Following our financial year-end, it was
also announced that the VXV Portfolio had
been conditionally sold to Blackstone, a
sophisticated global investor. GMT’s 51%
share in the joint venture that owns the office
assets was sold based on an asset price of
$323.9 million.
The disposal is a particularly significant
transaction for the Trust. It is the largest of
the asset disposals and its settlement later in
2018 will complete a substantial rebalancing
of the portfolio that has focused investment
in the Auckland industrial sector.
Following completion of all current
developments and contracted sales, the
Trust’s Auckland industrial weighting will
increase to around 95%, while remaining
land holdings will represent approximately
5% of the total portfolio.
People and community
Our committed and hardworking team
of more than 60 people continues to
deliver the positive business outcomes
that are the foundation of our operating
results. Developing talent within this team
and providing the tools and flexibility for
individuals to perform their roles to the
highest standard is always a priority.

Management report (continued)
The move to an activity-based working style,
in a Green Star designed office space within
the VXV Portfolio, has been the catalyst for
some wider business improvements. We
have formalised our commitment to being
an equitable and diverse business and
extended our inclusion and diversity policy
to specifically focus on gender, ethnicity and
age. To broaden representation, we have
updated key policies and processes and,
where appropriate, set targets for the future.
Our new workspace, which is designed to
enhance productivity, is also facilitating new
wellbeing initiatives for our employees. The
focus is on our collective health with lifestyle
advice, physical activities, medical checks
and immunisations all being offered.
We’re also pleased to report that Goodman
is engaging with our wider communities more
than ever before. You can learn more about
these initiatives in the Community report on
page 32.
Workplace safety is another focus area. As
a business, we are committed to minimising
harm and mitigating risk with the aim of being
free of serious harm accidents. We insist
on best practice from our employees and
contractors so were disappointed to record
one serious injury during the year, the first in
three years.
The incident involved a tradesman working
at one of our estates and resulted from
procedures not being followed. A serious leg
laceration meant the individual was off work
for almost a week. Extra training and safety
inductions have been implemented to ensure
this type of accident doesn’t occur again.

Our strategy
own
Taking ownership
of opportunities
We identify and acquire our assets prudently and
with a clear view of their potential. Our proven
experience in industrial property helps us see
investment opportunities that will cater for the
market not just today but years ahead.
We invest in industrial property based on its
return profile, the depth of the market and the
unique growth drivers for this type of asset.
Our $2.7 billion property portfolio is
predominantly located in Auckland.
We’ve deliberately focused on the country’s
biggest city because urbanisation and
growing e-commerce is increasing demand
for logistics and warehousing facilities close
to consumers. It’s a global trend that we
expect to continue to drive future growth.
Our capital allocation reflects not just the
strong growth profile of the supercity but also
the positive investment characteristics we’ve
identified for industrial property.
These include:
+ Flexibility of design
+ A growing logistics sector
+ Lower lifecycle costs
+ High land component
+ More liquid investment market.
With estates in the key industrial suburbs
of East Tamaki, Henderson, Mangere,
Otahuhu, Penrose and Wiri, we’ve been able
to achieve a level of scale across a portfolio
of exceptional quality that helps attract and
retain customers.
We have re-thought the modern workplace
and changed perceptions of how industrial
property is presented and used. Few property
owners have the Auckland-wide footprint we
provide and even fewer can offer the benefits
of being located in a large masterplanned
estate such as Highbrook Business Park.
Award-winning design, consistent
landscaping, clear signage, recreational
facilities, public infrastructure and business
support services help create exceptional
work environments for the companies that
partner with us.
The attractiveness of those environments is
reflected in our investment returns too, with
the portfolio generating over $465 million of
valuation gains over the last five years. That’s
an average rate of growth of 4% per annum,
which has added around 36 cents to our net
tangible asset backing.
The properties within our estates are modern,
highly specified and operationally efficient.
They’re well located, designed to meet the
requirements of a variety of end users and
can accommodate businesses that need
access to air, port, rail and road freight
networks.
Our top 10 customers represent almost
30% of our portfolio income. We have long-
term contractual arrangements with these
businesses – the largest of whom include
NZ Post Group, Fletcher Building, Fonterra,
DHL and Coda. The average term of these
relationships, from original lease start to
future expiry, is 17 years.

By developing lasting relationships with
our customers, we can accommodate their
changing needs and continue to create
long-term value for our investors.
The portfolio is regularly reviewed to ensure
it is delivering the returns we expect. Any
properties that are assessed as non-strategic
or have less growth potential are divested.
In fact, we’ve substantially repositioned
the portfolio over the last five years with
almost $1.2 billion of asset disposals
and contracted sales.
The sale of Central Park Corporate Centre
during the year and the post balance date
disposal of GMT’s interest in the VXV
Portfolio largely completes our disposal
programme. These conditional sales signal
the divestment of all GMT’s significant office
assets with the Trust now almost exclusively
focused on Auckland industrial property.
This disposal programme, which has
achieved an average yield of 7.1%, has
provided us with the balance sheet capacity
to fund our development activity.
Continually renewing and extending the
portfolio, this development programme has
progressively transformed the business,
contributing to the strong investment returns
we have achieved.
It’s a strategy we will continue to pursue,
delivering critical business infrastructure to
a growing city, while creating a portfolio of
unrivalled quality.

Our strategy
develop
Banking on our
development programme
Our development programme focuses on producing
the very best industrial properties. The strength of
the portfolio we have developed has underpinned
the success of GMT and continues to position the
Trust for long-term growth.
Goodman’s development capability is a
powerful wealth creation advantage for our
business. We provide customers with tailored
facilities that help their businesses prosper.
GMT has accelerated its development
programme in recent years, taking advantage
of strong property market conditions.
Around 80% of the portfolio has been
developed since 2004. Converting
strategically located land holdings into income
producing assets has helped create a high-
quality portfolio of real scale, with substantial
estates such as Highbrook Business Park.
Consistent with our ownership strategy,
this value-adding business activity is
focusing GMT’s investment in the Auckland
industrial market.
The consumer catchment within a 20-minute
truck drive of any of our Auckland estates is
estimated to have purchasing power of more
than $13 billion.
This proximity to a significant consumer base
is one of the key attractions for customers
looking to locate their business within a GMT
owned estate.
NZ Post Group was one of the first businesses
to move to a design-built facility at Highbrook
and is now GMT’s largest customer.
Convenience to motorways and on-site
amenity were important attractions for this
delivery and e-commerce logistics company.
Like many gateway cities, Auckland’s
infrastructure is struggling to cope with
unprecedented growth and traffic congestion
is one of the issues impacting businesses.
Larger logistics operators are using integrated
transport hubs as a way of reducing reliance
on road transport networks.
Strategically located throughout the city, our
portfolio includes rail options at Savill Link in
Otahuhu for this type of customer. Savill Link
is situated on the former site of the Otahuhu
Railway Workshops and provides sidings that
allow direct access to freight services along
the main trunk line.
Coda and Mainstream are two businesses
that have chosen to locate at Savill Link to
take advantage of the rail infrastructure it
offers and both have then expanded these
facilities to accommodate business growth.
26
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Our strategy (continued)
develop
New requirements from existing customers
make up a significant proportion of our
development programme. Seven new
projects were announced this year. With
a total project cost of $164.8 million, it
represents the greatest volume of new
work announced since 2009.
The projects, which are predominantly
at Highbrook Business Park, utilise
13.1 hectares of development land and
are expected to provide:
+ 63,468 sqm of rentable area across
24 new warehouse facilities
+ Almost $10 million of annual revenue once
fully leased and income-producing
+ Yield on additional spend of 8.3%
+ Valuation gains of between 10% and
15% once completed.
Two further development precommitments,
with a total project cost of $54.1 million,
were secured after the year end.
The projects include:
+ A design-built warehouse facility of
14,050 sqm for Australasian packaging
specialist NCI at Savill Link in Otahuhu
+ A 5,417 sqm warehouse expansion
for national carrier and existing
customer, Move Logistics at
Highbrook Business Park.
The new commitments add to the large
volume of work currently under way with
the total value of these projects now
$233.0 million.
Following the completion of these current
projects, GMT’s investment in the Auckland
industrial sector will increase to 95% of total
property assets, while its land weighting will
reduce to below 5%.
We expect the Trust’s remaining land holdings
will support a further 116,000 sqm of industrial
and commercial development.
Our long-term vision and tailored approach
to development provides our customers with
quality facilities to match their requirements,
ensuring their businesses operate efficiently
and cost effectively.

Our strategy
manage
Designed to be
market-leading
Focusing on the detail and directly managing all
our business functions using our own people,
differentiates GMT as a premium property provider
and enables us to continue to deliver on the things
our customers really care about.
Our dedicated team of portfolio managers,
property managers and support staff focuses
on delivering superior customer service.
Regular site visits from building managers
support this service focus, providing an
immediate point of contact should a building
issue arise.
Engineering capability within the business
also ensures that we optimise the operational
efficiency of the portfolio and that our
customers’ facilities are working as intended.
The amenity available at our larger estates
provides a true Goodman point of difference.
Highbrook for example offers serviced
The results are evident in our customer
satisfaction surveys and the positive leasing
results and high retention rates we achieve
when leases come up for renewal.
Over 200,000 sqm of space was secured on
new or revised terms in the last 12 months
and the limited amount of vacant space
within the portfolio has been further
reduced. Occupancy is at 98% and with
very few expiries due in the next few years
the weighted average lease term has been
extended to 6.1 years.
The most significant of our new deals is the
renewal of logistics provider DHL’s lease at
Highbrook Business Park. The company
has occupied the 31,631 sqm warehouse
facility since it was constructed in 2005 and
the latest five-year extension will extend its
occupation of the key site to almost 20 years.
Other major leasing transactions include:
+ Linfox Logistics renewing its lease over
26,201 sqm of warehouse and office
space at Westney Industry Park in Wiri
for a further four years
+ Cottonsoft doubling its space requirement
at Highbrook leasing the 16,973 sqm
warehouse facility at 55 Business Parade
North, from April 2018
+ Air New Zealand renewing its lease, over
185 Fanshawe Street in the VXV Precinct,
out to 2027.
The strong demand from customers is also
driving higher rental rates and we expect our
cashflows to grow over the next few years as
rents are raised to new market levels.
accommodation, banking facilities, a
conference centre, childcare, cafés and bars,
convenience retail, a gymnasium and other
business support services. Set within an
exceptional natural environment that features
esplanade reserves, walking tracks and
public spaces it sets the standard for modern
business parks anywhere in the world.
The extensive landscaping and careful
maintenance of all our properties means our
customers and their employees are working
in attractive and productive environments.
Employee satisfaction, together with health
and wellbeing, have been shown to contribute
to business productivity and are increasingly
important considerations in a modern and
progressive workplace.
In today’s tight labour market it is another
factor that helps businesses attract and
retain staff.
It all starts with the design features and
quality fittings our development managers
incorporate into each new building project
and extends through to the use of native
plants and grasses in the landscaping.
It continues throughout our estates with
standardised signage and wayfinding.

Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Our strategy (continued)
manage
While we pride ourselves on how we manage
both our customer relationships and property
portfolio, equal focus is given to the fiscal
management of the Trust. We take a long-
term investment view and manage prudently
to ensure we maintain a strong balance sheet
that supports sustainable growth well into
the future.
We’ve taken advantage of the strong
investment market to sell larger office
assets, focusing the portfolio in the preferred
Auckland industrial sector. It’s a disciplined
approach that has funded the development
programme over the last five years without
the need for additional capital.
Converting our strategic land holdings in
high-quality, income-producing assets has
progressively transformed the portfolio.
It has also improved the alignment between
the cash earnings we generate and the
distributions we pay.
With a look-through loan to value ratio of
just 25% at 31 March 2018, and less than
20% after adjusting for subsequent sales,
we have the funding capacity to complete
the development programme and pursue
any additional investment opportunities
that may arise.
It’s a conservative level well below the
maximum of 50% permitted under our Trust
Deed and debt facility covenants.
Remaining focused on our current strategy
and managing our customer relationships,
property portfolio and financial position
will ensure this business continues to thrive
and that we remain New Zealand’s leading
industrial space provider.

Inspiring people
We pride ourselves on having a delivery-focused

consistently delivering projects that make a tangible
difference to businesses in Auckland and beyond.
Diversity
GMT’s results are a powerful endorsement
for the positive outcomes that a talented
and diverse team performing a wide range
of tasks can deliver. We celebrate individual
differences, and have updated our inclusion
and diversity policy this year introducing
targets across gender, ethnicity and age.
On average, our team is 37 years old, tertiary
educated and has been with Goodman
for 5.5 years. We are a team that includes
10 different ethnicities and has speakers of
nine languages.
To ensure we continue to broaden
representation within the business, we have
adopted new recruitment practices, including
blind CVs and panel interviews. We have also
raised our ability to hire diversely through
unconscious bias training.
These new policies help ensure we are
always employing the best person. Career
development, mentoring, and succession
planning then give future leaders of the
business every opportunity to progress.
A long-term incentive plan, flexible working
options and generous parental leave
arrangements are also offered to encourage
people to stay with the business as their
career develops or circumstances change.
We are striving for equal gender
representation across all levels of the
business. Of the 67 employees and directors
included in the table alongside, 41.8% are
female and 58.2% are male. The differing
targets for 2023 reflect the five year
objectives formalised in the Inclusion and
Diversity Policy of Goodman (NZ) Limited,
which can be found on our website.
Board composition
The skill set of our Board members is carefully
balanced with commercial, property, capital
market and financial expertise, all relevant
to the effective and informed governance
of GMT.
Our four Independent Directors have
an average tenure of almost 10 years.

Health and wellbeing
We recently adopted a new activity-based

employees, changing the way individuals can
work. The new approach is also facilitating
a greater focus on health and wellbeing.
A range of initiatives are being undertaken,
some of which are also made available to our
customers, business partners and the public.
They include:
+ Annual flu vaccines and skin checks
+ Men’s and women’s health seminars
+ Touch rugby and boot camp fitness

Community
Engaging with and supporting various groups in the
communities where we operate is fundamental for
a business focused on long-term relationships and
sustainable growth.
The Goodman Foundation supports social
initiatives that aim to improve the quality of life,
health and education, and standard of living
of the people within our neighbourhoods. It is
funded by the Manager with no direct costs
borne by the Trust.
Through the Foundation and other fundraising,
we have provided almost $400,000 of financial
support over the last 12 months. We have
also contributed to local organisations through
the donation of equipment, volunteering and
in-kind programmes.
Our relationships with KiwiHarvest, Cerebral
Palsy Society of NZ, Duffy Books in Homes,
The Rising Foundation, The Hearing House
and the Second Nature Charitable Trust are
continuing to make a meaningful difference
to our communities.
This year we also added Great Potentials
and the Tania Dalton Foundation to our
list of partnerships.
Further contributions were made to

New Zealand, Life Centre Trust, Middlemore
Hospital Audiology, Movember, Multiple
Sclerosis Society of New Zealand and
Ronald McDonald House.
Steptember
Steptember is the global fundraising initiative
of Cerebral Palsy Alliance where Goodman
is the exclusive global partner. It’s a month-
long event that gives participants a target
of walking 10,000 steps a day, while raising
money for local Cerebral Palsy charities.
In New Zealand, staff participated and
larger customers were invited to join. In total,
there were 492 individual entries, made up
of 23 teams from Goodman and another
100 from businesses within the portfolio.
The local Goodman team raised over
$25,000 for the charity.
Tania Dalton Foundation
Tania was an inspirational sportswoman
and Goodman is proud to be an inaugural
sponsor of the Foundation set up to continue
her legacy.
The aim of the charity is to deliver financial
and mentoring support to young Kiwi
athletes who face circumstantial hardship.
The programme will help these individuals
achieve their potential, develop as people
and make a difference in their communities.
Goodman is funding a three-year scholarship
for promising basketball player and
secondary school student Sharne Pupuke-
Robati from Auckland.
Movember
Men’s health was the focus in November
with Goodman participating in the
Movember challenge for the first time.
Employees were encouraged to support the
initiative by growing moustaches and raising
money for the charity.
They were also invited to attend a men’s
health seminar that covered a range of
topics including prostate and testicular
cancer, smoking, alcohol, weight and
cardiovascular risk.
The team raised over $30,000 – a great
success. In recognition of the effort,
Robert Dunne from Movember came to
the Goodman office to thank staff and to
present a certificate to Goodman for being
the highest fundraiser in the country.
KiwiHarvest
KiwiHarvest is a food rescue organisation
that collects and redistributes perishable

and social organisations for redistribution to
those in need.
For the 2017 calendar year the food
rescue charity collected and redistributed
568,334 kgs of food, the equivalent of
1,623,811 meals, to 192 recipient agencies.
It’s an exceptional effort made possible

Sustainability
Creating high-quality estates:
+ Strategic locations close to infrastructure,
consumers and transport
+ Industry-leading design
+ Sustainable features and technology
+ Flexibility of use
+ Low maintenance
+ Superior amenity.
As a long-term investor, we seek to future-
proof our portfolio. We have formalised
this commitment by adopting a base-build
specification for new buildings that targets
a high-quality design rating.
We work collaboratively with our customers
and consultants on new projects,
incorporating the latest technology and
design features to improve the operational
performance of our property portfolio.
We carefully manage the construction
process to reduce the environmental impact
and require our contractors to minimise
waste. Sustainably-sourced building
materials add to the quality of our buildings
while smart management systems maximise
energy efficiency and workplace functionality.
Workplace amenity is another focus. At
Highbrook Business Park we provide
public spaces and recreational opportunities,
enhancing the health and wellbeing of
our customers, employees and the wider
community.
We showcased another aspect of our
development capability this year, completing
a new fitout for our Auckland office. Designed
to achieve a 5 Green Star Interior rating it sets
the benchmark for modern workplaces.
Sustainable Development
Future-proof portfolio
Asset Management
Superior product and service
Functional and efficient business premises:
+ Facilities optimised for
customers’ businesses
+ Ongoing investment
+ Superior customer service
+ Energy efficient fittings
+ Waste management programmes.
Our aim is to deliver superior property
solutions to our customers. Maintaining our
properties to a high standard and ensuring
they are operationally efficient contributes
to the strong customer relationships that
underpins our high occupancy rates.
Our ability to manage our assets over their
lifecycle also improves their long-term
environmental and financial performance.
Ongoing energy monitoring across the
portfolio, through the Smart Power system,
provides detailed energy and carbon reporting
data that enables performance benchmarking
of our assets against industry targets.
The energy consumed in FY18 totalled
11, 479 M W h r
(1)
, 86% of which was electricity
with the balance being natural gas.
Our greenhouse gas emissions for FY18 have
been estimated at 1,577 tCO2, a decrease of
30% from the previous year. That continues
a five-year trend of falling emissions, largely
resulting from the divestment of office assets.
New energy efficiency initiatives together
with HVAC and building management system
upgrades have also contributed.

The calculations are derived from the property assets directly owned by the Trust and reflect energy consumption and carbon emissions
from the operational management of these assets.
Connecting business
and community
Our approach to corporate responsibility and sustainability is described under each of these four focus areas:
36
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Sustainability (continued)
Establishing positive relationships:
+ Customers
+ Investors
+ Consultants and contractors
+ Suppliers
+ Regulators and other stakeholders.
Recognising that our corporate performance
depends strongly on our choice of partners,
we prefer to work with proven businesses
and trusted groups.
We call the businesses we partner with
customers not tenants. That’s because tenant
implies a transactional relationship, whereas
our approach is to value and respect the
people we work with in long-term mutually
beneficial relationships.
We measure our impact, critically assessing
our performance and provide the investment
community and regulators, our customers
and community partners with balanced
information about our business activities.
Transparent and robust governance structures
give these stakeholders confidence in our
reporting and we engage regularly across a
variety of communication channels.
We are an active and respected industry
participant and work to advance the interests
of all our stakeholders. We are one of just
14 NZX entities participating in the Carbon
Disclosure Project and have contributed
data since 2009, demonstrating our
commitment to improving the environmental
performance of our business. The Trust
achieved a climate score of C in 2017. The
rating is consistent with the average of
participating NZX entities.
You can find out more about the rating
process and the Carbon Disclosure Project

Corporate Performance
Stakeholder partnerships
People and Community
Thriving culture and neighbourhoods
Developing and nurturing people:
+ Health, safety and wellbeing
+ Equitable and empowering workplace
+ Positive and supportive culture
+ Social initiatives through the
Goodman Foundation
+ Public spaces and recreational facilities.
The health, safety and wellbeing of our
people, our customers, our contractors
and the wider community is fundamental to
our business. Since the introduction of the
Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 we have
worked closely with staff and contractors
to develop a culture of greater safety
awareness. The increase in reported near
misses and incidents without injury reflects
the importance placed on proper processes,
vigilance and personal responsibility.
We support and develop our team, helping
them reach their potential, and contribute to
the creation of thriving communities through
our social initiatives.
Creating a flexible and diverse workplace
with a culture that inspires and challenges our
employees is equally important. We introduced
new health and wellbeing programmes this
year, reflecting a more holistic approach to
how we work. At the same time, we’ve moved
to a more activity based style of working
and revised our core employment practices.
We’ve also updated our diversity strategy
with specific targets to ensure we foster an
inclusive and transparent work environment
where all employees contribute.
We continue to support our communities
through the Goodman Foundation. See
pages 32 to 35 for a profile of the charities
and groups that benefit from our community
participation.
We understand that resources are scarce and need to be used efficiently.
We also acknowledge that business and community are interconnected.
Balancing these obligations improves our environmental, social and
financial performance and supports sustainable business growth.

Reporting more
broadly
Business today is about striking the
right balance in everything we do.
In keeping with the NZX’s updated Corporate
Governance Code, we have extended
the commentary in this year’s Annual
Report to include more discussion of our
sustainability practices. To support this
focus, we commissioned an independent
assessment of the material factors influencing
our success.
Our approach to determining materiality
The assessment of GMT’s material
Environmental Social and Governance
(ESG) factors was carried out in line with a
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards
approach. Although we have not followed
the GRI Standards for this report, we felt it
was important to base what we have done
on an internationally acknowledged and
respected benchmark.
We identified 16 factors as material to our
business and these were mapped against
the four strategic pillars.
This assessment was then canvassed
with senior staff and selected stakeholders
including investors, customers, suppliers
and industry representatives. From there,
we developed a materiality matrix based on
the extent to which each factor influences
stakeholders’ decision-making and the
significance of those factors to our success.
The matrix to the right should be read in
conjunction with the legend alongside.

Mapping our materiality matrix back
against our business model
All 16 factors are important contributors to
the long-term performance of our business.
In terms of ranking, the most significant
factors for us were positioned in the upper
right quadrant. These factors had the
greatest influence on how our stakeholders
assessed us, and were also those we judged
most important for GMT economically,
environmentally and socially.
The high ranking of customer attraction and
retention is particularly satisfying. It convinces
us that we are making strong progress in our
bid to be the leader in quality business space
and that our integrated own+develop+manage
business model is keeping our stakeholder
expectations front of mind. The attractiveness
of our portfolio to customers directly aligns
with our vision to have valued stakeholder
partnerships and to contribute to thriving
cultures and communities.

01.
Goodman’s new office
space is expected
to achieve a 5 Green
Star Design rating.
The presence of sustainable design and
building resilience and adaptation in that
top quadrant reflects our commitment to
a future-proof portfolio. Securing the best
land at prices that make future growth and
development viable and sustainable, has
underpinned our business model and our
success for many years. By carefully choosing
where we develop and then insisting on
masterplanned industrial and office spaces
that are highly functional, well designed and
that meet high environmental standards, we
are developing assets that will work to all our
stakeholders’ advantage. Future-proofing
those designs by incorporating minimum
sustainability standards then maintaining
and managing our buildings ensures that our
assets remain valuable, desirable and relevant
to our customers.
Our ratings for health and safety confirm
our approach to people and community,
which is to always value and respect those
we work with, establishing long-term mutually
beneficial relationships. Mitigating risk is an
important part of doing that.
Finally, it’s good to see that other
stakeholders are as focused as we are on
strong financial performance. We see the
inclusion of capital structure and financial
results in the top quadrant as an assurance
for customers, suppliers and investors
that they are working with a business that
understands that financial sustainability
underpins all the other attributes.

Financial summary
Financial
performance
A substantial portfolio revaluation
has been a significant contributor
to this year’s $207.2 million profit
before tax.
Fair value gains attributable to the Trust’s
property portfolio contributed $106.3 million,
on a look-through basis, to this year’s profit.
The gain reflects the quality of the assets,
rising market rentals and buoyant investment
market conditions.
The current strength in investor demand
is reflected in the firming of the portfolio
capitalisation rate over the last 12 months,
from 6.5% to 6.2%.
The 4.0% uplift in the value of the Trust’s
property portfolio follows the 5.4% or
$114.7 million, increase achieved last year.
Although still substantial the lower portfolio
revaluation is one of the main variances with
last year’s profit before tax of $220.5 million.
Adjusting for these fair value gains and
other cash and non-cash items provides the
reconciliation between statutory profit and
operating earnings.
Operating performance
Sustained customer demand, driven by low
vacancy rates and continued economic
growth, is being reflected in positive leasing
results and new development commitments.
Ongoing asset sales are providing the funding
capacity to progress this development activity.
The disposal of the Millennium Centre office
assets in 2017 is the main contributor to
the 3.1% reduction in net property income
this year, to $130.1 million. The lost income
from the sale was greater than the positive
contribution from completed developments
over the last 12 months.
When GMT’s proportionate share of the
Wynyard Precinct joint venture is included
however, net property income increased from
$147.2 million to $148.5 million. The full year
contribution of the Datacom building and the
acquisition of Bayleys House added revenue.
While revenue was largely unchanged on
a look-through basis, and administrative
expenses were consistent with the previous
year, net interest costs have increased in
both GMT and its Wynyard Precinct joint
venture. A lower level of capitalised borrowing
costs in GMT and the recent acquisitions
within the joint venture contributed to the
higher cost.
49
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Financial summary (continued)
As a result, operating earnings before tax
have reduced 2.1% to $119.1 million.
On a weighted average unit basis, this
equates to 9.25 cents per unit. Full year
cash distributions paid to Unitholders
have been maintained at 6.65 cents per
unit, which represents 95.1% of GMT’s
cash earnings.
Balance sheet
Focusing the Trust’s investment strategy in
the Auckland industrial sector has refined the
business and positioned it for sustainable
long-term growth. The progression of the
development programme and further asset
sales have continued to improve the quality
of the portfolio while strengthening GMT’s
balance sheet position.
Seven development projects were announced
during the year, requiring $118.5 million of
additional investment. Asset disposals,
including the conditional sale of Central Park
Corporate Centre, totalled $243.9 million.
Asset sales yet to complete are classified as
investment property contracted for sale in the
financial statements.
Adjusting for all contracted sales at 31 March
2018, the Trust had a loan to value ratio (LVR)
of just 25.6%. Including the Trust’s 51%
interest in the Wynyard Precinct joint venture,
look-through gearing is 25.0%.
The sale of the Wynyard Precinct joint
venture, contracted after the year end,
reduces GMT’s proforma 31 March 2018
gearing to less than 20%. The proforma
LVR represents around one third of the total
borrowings permitted under the Trust’s
debt covenants. The strong balance sheet
position provides substantial funding capacity
for future development and investment
opportunities while also providing significant
headroom should asset values fall.
While the fair value movements from GMT’s
portfolio revaluation are excluded from
operating earnings, they are the main drivers
of the 6.5% increase in net tangible asset
backing to 138.9 cents per unit (on a fully
diluted basis).
Cash earnings
Cash earnings is a non-GAAP measure that assesses free cash flow, on a per unit basis,
after adjusting for certain items.
The table below shows how the Trust’s cash earnings are calculated and how this compares
to the distributions it pays. It is a sustainable level with distributions representing 95.1% of
underlying cash earnings in 2018.

The Manager currently uses the base management fee it earns to subscribe for new units in the
Trust. It is required to do so for a period of five years, ending 31 March 2019. Adding back the
base management fee in 2018 would reduce cash earnings by $8.3 million or around 0.6 cents
per unit.

Taxation
A total tax expense of $13.2 million results
in an after-tax profit of $194.0 million, a
reduction of 9.3% from the $213.8 million
recorded in 2017.
The low tax expense of $6.7 million last
year was the result of a deferred tax release
following a reduction in the provision relating
to tax depreciation.
After tax operating earnings, which removes
the impact of deferred tax, reflects an
effective tax rate of 14.7%.

GMT Bond Issuer Limited
There were two further issues of
Goodman+Bonds during the year, each
of $100 million.
+ GMB040 were 7 year bonds issued in
May 2017 with an interest rate of 4.54%
+ GMB050 were 5.5 year bonds issued in
March 2018 with an interest rate of 4.0%.
The proceeds replaced existing bank
borrowings, extending the tenor and diversity
of the Trust’s debt facilities. The Trust now
has 68% of its debt drawn from non-bank
sources and these facilities had a weighted
average term of 4.5 years at 31 March 2018.
During the year, GMT Bond Issuer Limited
received $15.3 million of interest income and
incurred $15.3 million of interest expense.
The 36.6% increase on the previous year
reflects the impact of the GMB040 and
GMB050 bond issues during the year.
Standard & Poor’s has maintained the credit
rating of all Goodman+Bonds at BBB+.
This is one notch higher than the Trust’s

(NZ) Limited (“GNZ”) and the address of its registered office is Level 2, 18 Viaduct Harbour Avenue, Auckland.
The financial statements presented are consolidated financial statements for Goodman Property Trust and its subsidiaries (the “Group”). GMT’s investment in Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited is
accounted for as a joint venture using the equity method of accounting.
GMT is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”) and is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The Group’s principal activity is to invest in real estate in New Zealand.
Basis of preparation and measurement
The financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”), comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The Group is a for-profit entity for the
purposes of complying with NZ GAAP. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 Financial Statements of Goodman Property Trust
New accounting standards not yet effective
The following new standards have not been early adopted in these financial statements:
NZ IFRS 9
Financial Instruments
This standard will replace NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement. It addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of
financial assets and financial liabilities, through a simplified mixed measurement model. It is required to be adopted by GMT in the financial statements for the year
ending 31 March 2019.
GMT has assessed the impact of this standard and no significant changes are expected to the recognition, classification and measurement of financial instruments
compared to existing accounting policies.
NZ IFRS 15
Revenue from Contracts
with Customers
This standard addresses the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. It specifies the revenue recognition criteria governing the transfer of promised
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is
required to be adopted by GMT in the financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2019.
GMT has assessed the impact of this standard and no significant changes are expected to the recognition and measurement of revenue compared to existing
accounting policies.
NZ IFRS 16
Leases
This standard will replace the current guidance in NZ IAS 17 Leases and will be adopted by GMT in the financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2020.
GMT is both a lessor and lessee of investment property.
As a lessor
GMT is a lessor of investment property leased to customers. For lessors, the accounting for leases under NZ IFRS 16 is similar to NZ IAS 17, with no significant
changes to the recognition and measurement of leases expected compared to existing accounting policies.
As a lessee
GMT’s exposure as a lessee is in respect of occupational ground leases at Westney Industry Park, and within GMT’s WPH joint venture. WPH was contracted for
sale after balance date, with settlement expected before 31 March 2019. As a lessee, NZ IFRS 16 requires the recognition of a ‘right-of-use asset’ representing the
fair value of the occupational ground leases and a lease liability reflecting the present value of future lease payments for the occupational ground leases.
GMT is currently assessing the financial impact of this change. There will be no change to cash flows recognised as a result of adoption of the new standard. Other
financial impacts are not expected to be material.

Accounting policies
Property income from investment property leased to customers under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the extent that future rental increases
are known with certainty. Accordingly, fixed rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line income recognition. Where lease incentives are provided to customers, the cost of
incentives is recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rental income.
Customers’ share of property operating expenses which are recoverable is recognised as service charge income.
1.2 Future contracted gross lease receipts
Gross lease receipts that the Trust has contracted to receive in future years are set out below. These leases cannot be cancelled by the customer.

Total movement in fair value of investment property83.8114.7
The movement in fair value of investment property contracted for sale represents the difference between contracted sale price and expected book value at the date of settlement.
Key judgement
The carrying value of stabilised properties, substantially completed developments and land is the fair value of the property as determined by an expert independent valuer. The carrying value of
investment property contracted for sale reflects the contracted sale price.
Fair value reflects the Board’s assessment of highest and best use of each property at the end of the reporting period. If the Board’s view of highest and best use has changed any impact on
value will be assessed by independent valuations. Management review the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting purposes. Discussions of valuation processes
and results are held between the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Management Valuation Committee, and the independent valuers at least twice every year in
line with the Group’s reporting dates. Full independent valuations are completed for stabilised properties, developments held at fair value and land at least annually. Developments where fair
value is not able to be reliably determined are carried at cost less any impairment. Additionally, at each financial year end all major inputs to the independent valuation reports are verified and an
assessment undertaken of all property valuation movements by management.
The fair values presented are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing
seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. If this information is not available, alternative
valuation methods are used, such as; recent prices on less active markets; the capitalisation method, which determines fair value by capitalising a property’s sustainable net income at a market
derived capitalisation rate with capital adjustments made where appropriate; or discounted cash flow projections (“DCF”), which discount estimates of future cashflows by an appropriate
discount rate to derive the fair value. The key assumptions used in the valuations are derived from recent comparable transactions to the greatest extent possible; however, all three of the
valuation methods rely upon unobservable inputs in determining fair value for all investment property.
Valuations reflect the following unobservable inputs, where appropriate: the quality of customers in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after
letting vacant accommodation, and the market’s general perception of their creditworthiness; the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the Group and the customer;
and the remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary increases, it is assumed that all notices and where appropriate
counter-notices have been served validly and within the appropriate time. All investment property is categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to note 14.6 for details of the hierarchy
and the Group’s transfer policy. During the year, there were no transfers of properties between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting policies
Stabilised properties are investment properties which are held to earn rental income. They are recorded initially at cost, including related transaction costs. After initial recognition, stabilised
properties are carried at fair value. A panel of expert independent valuers value the portfolio at least once each year, generally at 31 March. Fair values are based on estimated market values.
If this information is not available, alternative valuation methods such as recent prices in less active markets, the capitalisation method, or discounted cash flow projections are used.
Stabilised property that is being redeveloped is carried at fair value and holding costs are capitalised to the property during redevelopment. Expenditure is capitalised to a property when it is
probable that it will provide future economic benefits to the Group. All other repairs and maintenance costs are charged to Profit or Loss.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in Profit or Loss.
When sold, the net gain or loss on disposal of stabilised property is included in Profit or Loss in the period in which the sale occurred. The gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference
between the carrying amount of the stabilised property on the Balance Sheet and the proceeds from sale net of any costs associated with the sale.

Accounting policies
Developments are properties that are being constructed for future use as stabilised property. They are classified as developments and initially recorded at cost of acquisition, construction or
development. All costs directly associated with the purchase and construction of developments and all subsequent capital expenditure for developments are capitalised.
Holding costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the acquisition or development of a property. The most significant component of holding costs is borrowing costs. Capitalisation
of borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. The amount capitalised
is determined by applying the weighted average cost of debt to borrowings attributed to the development. Capitalisation of borrowing costs will continue until the development of the property
is completed.
If the fair value of a development can be reliably determined during the course of its construction, then the development will be recorded at fair value in the same manner as stabilised properties.

1.10 Construction loan
A construction loan was provided by GMT to The Fletcher Construction Company (Fanshawe Street) Limited, whose ultimate parent is Fletcher Building Limited. The advances made were used to
fund the development of the Datacom building acquired by a subsidiary of the Trust’s joint venture, Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited. Acquisition occurred on completion of the building in May
2017, at which time the loan was repaid. The loan incurred a market rate of interest for a loan of its type and was guaranteed by Fletcher Building Limited.
Significant transactions
On 12 May 2017 the construction loan was repaid by The Fletcher Construction Company (Fanshawe Street) Limited.

2. Investment in joint venture
GMT owns 51% of Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited (“WPHL” or the “joint venture”), with the remaining 49% owned by GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund. The shareholders’ agreement
of WPHL ensures that joint control is maintained via equal board representation, with GMT unable to unilaterally direct the joint venture. Properties owned by WPHL are managed by Goodman
Property Services (NZ) Limited (“GPSNZ”) on a similar basis to how GPSNZ manages GMT’s wholly owned properties.
Subsequent event
In May 2018, the shareholders of Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited, the joint venture between GMT and GIC, agreed to the sale of all of the shares of WPHL to Blackstone for a purchase
price of $289.3 million, with the price based on a property portfolio value of $635.0 million. The transaction includes full repayment of shareholder loans advanced to the joint venture and is
expected to result in a gain of approximately $31.4 million on disposal of GMT’s equity accounted investment in WPHL. This gain is based on property valuations as at 31 March 2018. The sale
is conditional upon Overseas Investment Office approval and freehold land owner approval, and is expected to settle late in the 2019 financial year.

3. Borrowings (continued)
3.4 Security and covenants
All borrowing facilities are secured on an equal ranking basis over the assets of the wholly-owned subsidiaries of Goodman Property Trust. A loan to value ratio covenant restricts total borrowings
incurred by the Group to 50% of the value of the secured property portfolio.
The Group has given a negative pledge to not create or permit any security interest over its assets. The principal financial ratios which must be met are the ratio of earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation to interest expense, and the ratio of financial indebtedness to the value of the property portfolio. Further negative and positive undertakings have been given as to the
nature of the Group’s business.
3.5 Loan to value ratio calculation
The loan to value ratio (“LVR”) is a non-GAAP metric used to measure the strength of GMT’s Balance Sheet. The LVR calculation is set out in the table below. The GMT look-through LVR
incorporates GMT’s 51% share of WPHL and is the measure utilised by management when considering the Trust’s LVR.

Balance at the end of the year1,287.81,280.21,408.71,398.7
Accounting policies
Units are classified as equity. If new units are issued in the year, any external costs, net of tax, directly attributable to the issue are deducted from the proceeds received.
GMT receives fund management services from GNZ and pays GNZ a management fee (the “base fee”). Other than in limited circumstances as set out in the Trust Deed, GNZ is required to use
its base fee to invest in newly issued units in GMT. The fee arrangements are considered a share based payment. GMT recognises fees for management services at the time those services are
provided. Fees are paid six monthly in arrears, and the proceeds immediately reinvested. The fee not yet paid and reinvested is reflected within the unit based payments reserve until such time
as it has been settled.
4.2 Earnings per unit
Earnings per unit is calculated as profit after tax divided by the weighted number of issued units for the year. Operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure included to provide an
assessment of the performance of GMT’s principal operating activities. The calculation of operating earnings before other income / (expenses) and tax is set out in Profit or Loss, with a
reconciliation of operating earnings after tax as follows:

Total movement in fair value of derivative financial instruments(13.9)(4.9)
Foreign exchange rate movement on US Private Placement notes5.42.4
Total movement in fair value of financial instruments(8.5)(2.5)
Accounting policies
Derivative financial instruments 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 date. Derivative
financial instruments are classified as current or non-current based on their date of maturity.
Movements in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised through Profit or Loss. GMT does not apply hedge accounting.
Key judgement
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined from valuations using Level 2 valuation techniques (2017: Level 2). These are based on the present value of estimated future
cash flows, taking account of the terms and maturity of each contract and the current market interest rates at reporting date. Fair values also reflect the creditworthiness of the derivative
counterparty and GMT at balance date. The valuations were based on market rates at 31 March 2018 of between 1.93% (2017: 1.99%) for the 90 day BKBM and 3.06% (2017: 3.46%) for the
10 year swap rate. There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the period.

9. Tax (continued)
9.1 Tax expense (continued)
Accounting policies
Tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax recognised in Profit or Loss.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at balance date, and includes any adjustment to tax payable in
respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided in full using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their
tax bases. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction, other than a business combination, that affects neither accounting nor
taxable profit or loss and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Borrowings issue costs(0.4)(0.5)
Total deferred tax liabilities(30.6)(32.4)
Net deferred tax(25.4)(28.7)
Key judgement
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
For deferred tax liabilities potentially arising on investment property measured at fair value there is a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of the investment property asset will be
recovered through sale. In estimating this deferred tax liability, the Group has made reference to the Manager’s experience of tax depreciation recovered when properties of a similar nature have
been sold.

10.4 Explanation of related party transactions
Manager’s base fee
The Manager’s base fee is calculated as 0.50% per annum of the book value of GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors and development land) up to $500 million, plus 0.40% per annum of the
book value of GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors and development land) greater than $500 million.
With effect from 1 April 2014, for a period of five years, the Manager has agreed to use its base management fee to reinvest in GMT units, provided that the Independent Directors of GNZ consider
it in the best interests of GMT unitholders for the Manager to do so. The terms of the issue of such units were approved by Unitholders on 5 August 2014. The terms of issue are included in GMT’s
Trust Deed.
Manager’s performance fee
The Manager is entitled to be paid a performance fee equal to 10% of GMT’s performance above a target return (which is calculated annually on 31 March) and is capped at 5% of annual out
performance (except in a period in which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT terminates). The target return is equal to the annual return of a gross accumulation index created from NZX listed
property entities having a principal focus on investment in real property, excluding GMT, with the index being compiled by a suitably qualified and experienced person (currently Standard & Poor’s).
Any performance below the target return is carried forward indefinitely to future periods. GMT will not earn a performance fee on any performance in excess of the target return plus 5% per annum.
Any performance over that cap will be carried forward indefinitely to future periods (except in a period in which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT terminates). No performance fee is payable for
any year where GMT’s performance is less than 0%, however, any under or over performance is carried forward indefinitely to future periods.
The Manager is required to use performance fee proceeds to reinvest in GMT units in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed. The issue price for these units is equal to the higher of market
price and the net asset value per unit.
At 31 March 2018 a performance fee deficit of $1.1 million (2017: deficit of $16.0 million) was carried forward to include in the calculation to determine whether a performance fee is payable in
future periods.
Property management fees
Property management fees are paid to GPSNZ for day to day management of properties.
Leasing fees
Leasing fees are paid to GPSNZ for executing leasing transactions.

14. Financial risk management
In addition to business risk associated with the Group’s principal activity of investing in real estate in New Zealand, the Group is also exposed to financial risk for the financial instruments that it
holds. Financial risk can be classified in the following categories; interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital management risk.
14.1 Financial instruments
The following items in the Balance Sheet are classified as financial instruments: Cash, debtors and other assets, advances to joint venture, the construction loan receivable, other investments,
derivative financial instruments, creditors and other liabilities, and borrowings. All items are recorded at amortised cost with the exception of derivative financial instruments, which are recorded
at fair value through Profit or Loss and other investments, which are recorded as available for sale.
Accounting Policies
Financial instruments are classified dependent on the purpose for which the financial instrument was acquired or assumed. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments
at initial recognition between three categories:
Amortised costInstruments recorded at amortised cost are those with fixed or determined receipts / payments that are recorded at their expected value at balance date.
Fair value through Profit
or Loss
Instruments recorded at fair value through Profit or Loss have their fair value measured via active market inputs, or by using valuation techniques if no active
market exists.
Available for saleInstruments are recorded as available for sale if it is highly probable that the carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through
continuing use. They are measured at fair value.
14.2 Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from borrowings. The Group manages its interest rate risk in accordance with its Financial Risk Management policy. The principal objective of the Group’s
interest rate risk management process is to mitigate negative interest rate volatility adversely affecting financial performance.
The Group manages its interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and interest rate caps. 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 directly at fixed
rates. Under the interest rate swaps, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (primarily quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest
amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts. Where the Group raises long-term borrowings at fixed rates, it may enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps to enable the
cash flow interest rate risk to be managed in conjunction with its floating rate borrowings.
The table below considers the direct impact to interest costs of a 25 basis point change to interest rates.

14. Financial risk management (continued)
14.3 Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash, derivative financial instruments, advances to joint venture, the construction loan receivable, other investments and credit exposures to customers. For banks and
financial institutions only independently credit rated parties are accepted, and when derivative contracts are entered into their credit risk is assessed. For advances to joint venture the financial
performance of the joint venture is monitored and assessed. For the construction loan receivable and other investments the Group assesses credit quality, financial position and market indicators
of the counterparty. For customers the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and any other relevant factors. The overall credit
risk is managed with a credit policy that monitors exposures and ensures that the Group does not bear unacceptable concentrations of credit risk.
The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk is best represented by the total of its debtors, the construction loan receivable, other investments, advances to joint venture, derivative financial
instrument assets and cash as shown in the Balance Sheet. To mitigate credit risk the Group holds security deposits, bank guarantees, parent company guarantees or personal guarantees as
deemed appropriate.
14.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities. The Group’s approach to management of liquidity risk is to ensure that it will always
have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group’s reputation. The Group
manages this risk through active monitoring of the Group’s liquidity position and availability of borrowings from committed facilities.
The following table outlines the Group’s financial liabilities by their relevant contractual maturity date. Values are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and include both principal and interest
where applicable.

14. Financial risk management (continued)
14.5 Capital management risk
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence, while maximising the return to investors through optimising the mix of debt and equity.
The Group meets its objectives for managing capital through its investment decisions on the acquisition, development and disposal of assets, its distribution policy and raising new equity. The
Group’s policies in respect of capital management are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors of the Manager.
The Group’s capital structure includes bank debt, retail bonds, wholesale bonds, US Private Placement notes and unitholders’ equity. GMT’s Trust Deed requires the Group’s ratio of borrowings to
the aggregate value of its property assets to be less than 50%. The Group complied with this requirement during this year and the prior year.
The Group has issued US Private Placement notes, retail and previously wholesale bonds, the terms of which require that the total borrowings of GMT and its subsidiaries do not exceed 50% of
the value of the property portfolio on which these borrowings are secured. The Group complied with this requirement during this year and the prior year.
14.6 Fair value of financial instruments
Except for the retail and wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes; the carrying values of all balance sheet financial instruments approximate their estimated fair value. The fair values of
retail bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes are as follows:
$ millionFair value hierarchy20182017
Retail bondsLevel 1416.2211.6
Wholesale bondsLevel 2–45.5
US Private Placement NotesLevel 2US$113.7US$118.5
The Group classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following
levels:
– Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
– Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
– Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
The fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 2, being the Wholesale bond and US Private Placement Notes, is measured using a present value calculation of the future cashflows using
the relevant term swap rate as the discount factor.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised is determined on the basis of the lowest input to the fair value measurement. If a fair value measurement
uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, the measurement is a Level 3 measurement.
The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
15. Operating segments
The Trust’s activities are reported to the Board as a single operating segment. Therefore these financial statements are presented in a consistent manner to that reporting.

Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 Financial Statements of Goodman Property Trust
Independent auditor’s report
To the unitholders of Goodman Property Trust
The financial statements comprise:
the balance sheet as at 31 March 2018;
the statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements of Goodman Property Trust (the Trust), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at
31 March 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs NZ) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of assurance services relating to the performance fee calculation and agreed upon procedures relating to the financial covenants of the
bank facilities. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.

Our audit approach
Overview
An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
For the purpose of our audit, we used a threshold for overall Group materiality of $6.5 million.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above $0.5 million as well as misstatements below that
amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
We have one key audit matter being valuation of investment properties.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above.
These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Overall Group materiality$6.5 million
How we determined itApproximately 5% of profit before tax excluding valuation movements relating to investment properties and financial instruments.
Rationale for the materiality benchmark appliedWe applied this benchmark because, in our view, it is more reflective of the metrics against which the performance of the Group is most
commonly measured.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. We have one key audit matter being
valuation of investment properties. This matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on this matter.
Key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment properties
Refer to note 1 of the financial statements.
The Group’s investment properties comprise office and industrial portfolios and at $2.2 billion
represented the majority of the Group’s assets as at 31 March 2018.
Investment property is carried at fair value, based on market values where available. Where
market values are not available alternative valuation methods are used. Where developments
are not sufficiently progressed to enable fair value to be reliably determined, they are carried
at the cost spent on the development to date, less any impairment. Investment property
contracted for sale is carried at the contracted sale price.
The valuation of the Group’s property portfolio is inherently subjective due to, amongst other
factors, the individual nature of each property, its location and the expected future rental
income for each respective property.
The existence of significant estimation uncertainty, coupled with the fact that only a small
change to individual property valuation assumptions when aggregated could result in material
misstatement, is why we have given specific audit focus and attention to this area.
The valuations were carried out by third party valuers, Colliers International New Zealand
Limited, Jones Lang LaSalle Limited, CBRE Limited and Savills New Zealand Limited (the
Valuers). The Valuers were engaged by the Group, and performed their work in accordance
with International Valuation Standards and the Australia and New Zealand Valuation and
Property Standards. The Valuers used by the Group are well-known firms, with experience in
the markets in which the Group operates. The Valuers are rotated across the portfolio on a three-
yearly cycle.
In determining a property’s valuation, the Valuers take into account property specific information
such as the current tenancy agreements and rental income earned by the asset. They then
apply assumptions in relation to capitalisation rates and current market rent and anticipated
growth, based on available market data and transactions, to arrive at a range of valuation
outcomes, from which they derive a point estimate. Due to the unique nature of each property,
the assumptions applied take into consideration the individual property characteristics at a
granular tenant by tenant level, as well as the qualities of the property as a whole.
The Group has adopted the assessed values determined by the Valuers.
External valuations
We read the valuation reports and discussed the reports with each of the Valuers. We confirmed
that the valuation approach for each property was in accordance with accounting standards and
suitable for use in determining the carrying value of investment properties at 31 March 2018.
It was evident from our discussions with management and the Valuers and our review of the
valuation reports that close attention had been paid to each property’s individual characteristics,
its overall quality, geographic location and desirability as a whole.
We assessed the Valuers’ qualifications, expertise and their objectivity. We found no evidence
to suggest that the objectivity or experience of any Valuer in their performance of the valuations
was compromised.
We carried out procedures, on a sample basis, to test whether property-specific information
supplied to the Valuers by the Group reflected the underlying property records held by the
Group. For the items tested, the information was materially consistent.
Assumptions
Our work over the assumptions focused on the largest properties in the portfolio and those
properties where the assumptions used and/or year-on-year fair value movement suggested a
possible outlier versus market data. In particular, we compared valuation metrics used by the
Valuers to recent market activity. We also engaged our own in-house property valuation expert
to critique and challenge the work performed and assumptions used by the Valuers.
We concluded that the assumptions used in the valuations were supportable in light of available
market evidence.
Overall valuation estimates
Because of the subjectivity involved in determining the appropriate valuations for individual
properties, including the existence of alternative assumptions and valuation methods, we
determined a range of values that were considered reasonable for an individual property to
evaluate the independent property valuations. If we find an error in a property valuation or
determine that the valuation is outside the reasonable range, we would evaluate the error or
difference against overall materiality to determine if there is a material misstatement in the
financial statements.
The valuations adopted by the Group were all within an acceptable range. We also considered
whether or not there was bias in determining individual valuations and found no evidence of bias.

To the unitholders of Goodman Property Trust
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of Goodman (NZ) Limited (the Manager) are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information included in the annual report
and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion on the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors of the Manager for the financial statements
The directors of the Manager are responsible, on behalf of the Trust, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal
control as the Manager determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Manager is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using
the going concern basis of accounting unless the Manager either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ and ISAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the directors of the Manager and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are
responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinion.
Communicate with the directors of the Manager regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during the audit.
Provide the directors of the Manager with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 Financial Statements of Goodman Property Trust
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
Determine those matters, from the matters communicated with the directors of the Manager, that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest
benefits of such communication.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Trust’s unitholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trust and the Trust’s unitholders, as a body, for our audit work, for
this report or for the opinions we have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Richard Day.

Financial risk management
Financial instruments are classified dependent on the purpose for which the financial instrument was acquired or assumed. Management determines the classification of its financial
instruments at initial recognition between two categories:
Amortised costInstruments recorded at amortised cost are those with fixed or determined receipts / payments that are recorded at their expected value at balance date.
Fair value through
Profit or Loss
Instruments recorded at fair value through Profit or Loss have their fair value measured via active market inputs, or by using valuation techniques if no active
market exists.
Changes in accounting policy
There have been no changes in accounting policies made during the financial year.
New accounting standards not yet effective
The following new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations expected to have an impact on the Company have not been early adopted in these financial statements:

Covenant Trustee Services Limited (as Trustee for Goodman Property Trust) has entered into a guarantee under which Goodman Property Trust unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all of the
obligations of GMT Bond Issuer Limited under its Bond Trust Documents.
3. Administrative expenses
Goodman Property Trust, the Company’s parent, paid all fees for audit services provided to the Company (2018: $6,200, 2017: $6,000).
4. Commitments and contingencies
4.1 Capital commitments payable
GMT Bond Issuer Limited has no capital commitments.
4.2 Contingent liabilities
GMT Bond Issuer Limited has no material contingent liabilities.
5. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to financial risk for the financial instruments that it holds. Financial risk can be classified in the following categories; interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital
management risk.
The Board has delegated to the Goodman (NZ) Limited Audit Committee the responsibility to review the effectiveness and efficiency of management processes, risk management and internal
financial controls and systems as part of their duties.
5.1 Financial instruments
The following items in the Balance Sheet are classified as financial instruments: Advances to related parties, interest receivable from related parties, borrowings and interest payable. All items are
recorded at amortised cost.
5.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or future value of cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates. The Board is responsible for the management of
the interest rate risk arising from the external borrowings.
To mitigate interest rate risk all advances to related parties have fixed interest rates receivable that match the fixed interest rates payable on borrowings.
5.3 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises from a counterparty failing to meet their contractual commitment in full and on time, or from losses arising from the change in value of a trading financial
instrument as a result of changes in credit risk of that instrument.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to deposits held with banks and credit exposure for the advances to related parties.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if applicable) or to historical information about counterparty
default rates. All financial assets are with Goodman Property Trust. Goodman Property Trust has been assigned a rating of BBB with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s.

5.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations from its financial liabilities. The Company’s approach to management of liquidity risk is to ensure that it will
always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The Company manages this risk through active monitoring of the Company’s liquidity position and availability of borrowings.

5.6 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments has been estimated as follows:
$ millionFair value hierarchy20182017
Related party receivablesLevel 2416.2211.6
Retail bondsLevel 1(416.2)(211.6)
For instruments where there is no active market, the Company may use internally developed models which are usually based on valuation methods and techniques generally recognised as
standard within the industry. Some of the inputs to these models may not be market observable and are therefore estimated based on assumptions.
The Company classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the
following levels:
– Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
– Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
– Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).
The fair value of financial instruments classified as Level 2, being the related party receivables, is measured using the quoted prices of the retail bonds liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised is determined on the basis of the lowest input to the fair value measurement. If a fair value measurement
uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, the measurement is a Level 3 measurement.
The Company’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer.
6. Equity
As at 31 March 2018, 100 ordinary shares had been issued for nil consideration (2017: 100 ordinary shares for nil consideration). All shares rank equally with one vote attached to each share.
The Company does not have any tangible assets, and its net assets are nil, being an advance to a related party offset by a liability for retail bonds. Consequently, the net tangible assets per bond
at 31 March 2018 was nil (2017: nil).
Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
The financial statements comprise:
the balance sheet as at 31 March 2018;
the statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
the statement of cash flows for the year then ended;
the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; and
the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements of GMT Bond Issuer Limited (the Company), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2018, its financial
performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs NZ) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as the auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Company.
Our audit approach
Overview
An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
For the purpose of our audit, we used a threshold for overall materiality of $153,000.
We have not identified any key audit matters from our audit given the nature of the entity. Refer to the Key audit matters section of our report.

GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018 Financial Statements of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
Independent auditor’s report (continued)
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
Our audit approach (continued)
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,
together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Overall materiality$153,000
How we determined itApproximately 1% of interest expense.
Rationale for the materiality benchmark appliedWe applied this benchmark because, in our view, it is the metric against which the performance of the Company is most commonly measured.
Audit scope
We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements and our application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Company, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Company operates.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. The entity obtains funding from the issue
of debt securities and then lends the proceeds to Goodman Property Trust at the same cost. Given the nature of the Company’s operations, we determined that there were no key audit matters to
communicate in our report.
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information included in the annual report and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion on the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the
directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018 Financial Statements of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
Independent auditor’s report (continued)
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ and ISAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by the directors and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control
that we identify during the audit.
Provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
Determine those matters, from the matters communicated with the directors, that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key
audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine
that a matter should not be communicated in our auditor’s report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholder. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholder, for our audit work, for this report
or for the opinions we have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Richard Day.

Corporate governance
Introduction
Corporate governance is the system by
which organisations are directed and
managed. It influences how an organisation’s
objectives are achieved, how its risks
are monitored and assessed and how its
performance is optimised.
The Board has adopted an overall corporate
governance framework that is designed to
meet best practice standards and recognises
that an effective corporate governance
culture is critical to success.
At all times, the Board strives to achieve
governance outcomes which effectively
balance the needs of GMT and GMT Bond
Issuer Limited, other stakeholders, regulators
and the wider market.
What follows is an overview of the corporate
governance framework administered by
the Board together with other legal and
regulatory disclosures. The governance
framework for both GMT and GMT Bond
Issuer Limited is materially consistent with
the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017
(“NZX Code”), except where, as a result of
the external management structure this is
not appropriate.
A more detailed analysis against the NZX
Code is included in the corporate governance
section of the Goodman Property Trust
website www.goodman.com/nz.
GMT and GMT Bond Issuer
Limited
GMT is an NZX listed unit trust created by
the Trust Deed and administered under
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
(“FMCA”). Covenant Trustee Services
Limited is the Trustee of GMT and is
appointed to hold the assets of GMT on
trust for Unitholders. Pursuant to the terms
of the Trust Deed, the Trustee has the rights
and powers in respect of the assets of GMT
it could exercise as if it was the absolute
owner of such assets, but subject to the
FMCA and the rights given to the Manager
by the FMCA and the Trust Deed.
GMT Bond Issuer Limited is a wholly
owned subsidiary of GMT and issuer of
Goodman+Bonds. Goodman+Bonds
are debt securities listed on the NZDX.
They are direct, secured, unsubordinated,
obligations of the issuer, ranking equally
with debt owed to GMT’s main banking
syndicate. Public Trust is the Bond Trustee
for Goodman+Bonds.
Relationship with Goodman
Group
GMT has a close relationship with Goodman
Group. Goodman Group is the Trust’s
largest Unitholder, owning approximately
21.2% of Units on issue at the Balance
Date. Since late 2003, the Manager of GMT
has been Goodman (NZ) Limited, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Goodman Group.
The Manager’s role is to strategically manage
the Trust’s property portfolio including buying
and selling properties, managing capital and
overseeing day to day operations. Goodman
Group’s cornerstone stake brings into close
alignment the interests of the Trust and the
Manager. Goodman Group also provides
certain other services to the Trust which
are outside the scope of the Manager’s
duties, which relate to property services,
development and project management
services and legal services.
The Trust and Goodman Group have also
transacted property from time to time, either
between each other or jointly pursuant to the
Co-ownership Agreement. At the date of this
Report, the Trust and Goodman Group jointly
own two property interests as co-owners.
GMT Bond Issuer Limited has no activities
other than those necessary or incidental
to the issuing of Goodman+Bonds and
complying with its obligations at law.
Under its constitution it is restricted from
undertaking any other activities. Goodman
Group holds no Goodman+Bonds.
Statement of corporate
governance policies, practices
and processes
The Board of Directors
The Board works with Management to
formulate and monitor the strategic direction
of the Trust and monitor its performance
against set targets. The Board also has the
responsibility to ensure business risks are
appropriately identified and managed and
statutory, financial and social responsibilities
of the Manager are complied with.
A copy of the Board’s approved mandate
is contained in the corporate governance
section of the website together with a copy
of the statement of investment policies
and objectives. In addition, the Board has
adopted a formal written Board Charter
which sets out the roles and responsibilities
of the Board, a copy of which is included
in the corporate governance section of the
Goodman Property Trust website
www.goodman.com/nz.
To facilitate the effective execution of its
responsibilities, the Board has developed
a statement of delegated authority for
Management. This statement clarifies
which matters are dealt with by the Board
and which matters are the responsibility of
Management and includes areas such as
finance, corporate matters and property
transactions.
The Chairman and the CEO
As recommended by the NZX Code, the
roles of Chairman and CEO are separated.
This separation avoids concentrations of
influence and increases accountability.
At the Balance Date and at the date of this
report, Keith Smith is the Chairman. Keith
Smith is a New Zealand based Director.
Keith’s biography may be found at
www.goodmanreport.co.nz.
John Dakin is the CEO of the Manager
and his biography may be found at
www.goodmanreport.co.nz. John is also
an Executive Director of the Manager.
John oversees Management’s delivery of the
strategy approved by the Board, drawing on
his intimate knowledge of each aspect of the
business and his ability to communicate this
strategy to key stakeholders.

Board composition
At the date of this Report, the composition
of the Board is set out on page 46.
Between them, the Directors have a wide
range of skills and experience, enabling
the Board to bring critical judgement and
independent assessment to the oversight
of the business. The Board of GMT Bond
Issuer Limited replicates the Board of
GNZ. A separate Board, including separate
Board meetings, is maintained to ensure
the obligations of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
as the issuer of the Goodman+Bonds are
met. The biographies of each Director can
be found at www.goodmanreport.co.nz.
The performance of the Board is reviewed
regularly with such process being managed
by the Chairman of the Board.
Independent Directors maintain their skills
and capabilities through regular training.
This includes completing the continuing
education requirements of the NZ Institute
of Directors and other relevant professional
bodies.
All Directors (other than Gregory Goodman)
are appointed for three year terms, after
which they are eligible for reappointment.
Gregory Goodman has a standing
appointment, in his role as Group CEO of
Goodman Group, shareholder of Goodman
(NZ) Limited.
Independent Directors are appointed by
GMT unitholders in the manner described
in the GMT Trust Deed, which can be found
on the Companies Office website
www.companies.govt.nz.
The expiry dates of the Directors’ present
tenures are also set out in the table below.
Directors are encouraged to undertake
training to ensure they remain current on
issues relating to fulfilling their duties and
are provided with an induction that includes
a tour of the Trust’s assets.
Independent Directors
The Board has determined that four of its
members are Independent Directors (as
defined in the Listing Rules) at the Balance
Date, as set out in the table below.

During the financial year to 31 March 2018
all of the Directors attended each Board
meeting. The Independent Directors are
encouraged to meet separately when
necessary and in any event not less than
once a year. They are also entitled to take
independent legal advice at the Manager’s
expense should they believe it necessary to
adequately perform their role.
Company secretarial function
The company secretarial function is performed
by Anton Shead, the Manager’s General
Counsel. Refer to www.goodmanreport.co.nz
for Anton’s biography.
Board committees
The Board has established a number of
committees to assist in the exercise of
its functions and duties and to ensure
that all risks are effectively monitored and
managed. The Manager does not maintain
a remuneration committee as GMT has
no employees. Nor does it maintain a
separate Nomination committee as this
task is performed by the entire Board.
The Board applies the relevant provisions
of the Goodman Group Remuneration and
Nomination Charter as required.
A summary of the Board committees is set
out below.
(a) Audit Committee
The Board has established an Audit
Committee, which meets at least three
times a year. As at the date of this Report,
the Audit Committee has a majority of
Independent Directors and comprises:
Peter Simmonds (Chairman), Keith Smith,
Leonie Freeman, Susan Paterson and
Phil Pryke.
The Audit Committee operates under the
terms of a formal charter, a copy of which
is available on the website within the
corporate governance section. The duties
and responsibilities of the Audit Committee
include the following:
+ monitoring the independence, ability
and objectivity of the external auditor;
+ reviewing the financial statements for
the Trust and overseeing the auditing of
the Trust’s annual financial statements
(including the financial statements of
GMT Bond Issuer Limited);
+ setting the parameters for the internal
audit programme, overseeing its
implementation and reviewing its outputs
and recommendations; and
+ overseeing and advising on the
Manager’s internal risk management
programme. The Audit Committee
reports its findings to the Board, in
particular any matters that may have a
material impact on the operating results
or financial position of GMT. The Audit
Committee also reports any findings in
relation to GMT Bond Issuer Limited to
the Board of GMT Bond Issuer Limited.
(b) Due Diligence Committee
The Board establishes a Due Diligence
Committee to oversee and report to the
Board on the due diligence process for any
transaction for the Trust of a significant
size and/or complexity. Examples of such
transactions are major acquisitions funded
by an equity raising or a new issuance of
Goodman+Bonds by GMT Bond Issuer
Limited. A Due Diligence Committee will
usually include at least one Independent
Director, relevant external consultants
and members of Management considered
appropriate for the transaction in question.
(c) Appointments Committee
The Board will, when it considers
appropriate, constitute a committee to
consider senior executive and director
appointments and performance. An
Appointments Committee will usually include
at least one Independent Director and other
persons considered appropriate. GMT Bond
Issuer Limited has no employees and does
not maintain an Appointments Committee.
115
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Corporate governance (continued)
(d) Remuneration Committee
The NZX Code recommends that a
Remuneration Committee be established
to benchmark remuneration packages for
Directors and senior employees and that this
be disclosed to investors.
It is a feature of the external management
structure that these costs are borne by
the Manager and not by the Trust. It is
therefore unnecessary for GMT to maintain
a Remuneration Committee.
However, in the interests of transparency
and good governance the Manager has
agreed to disclose the basis upon which
the Goodman Group Remuneration and
Nominations Committee determines
the packages payable to Directors and
employees involved with its New Zealand
operations. This disclosure is provided on a
voluntary basis and is laid out on page 119.
The Directors of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
are also Directors of the Manager and are
paid Directors Fees by Goodman Group
in this capacity.
There were no remuneration payments made
or other benefits given to any Director of
GMT Bond Issuer Limited in respect of their
role as a Director of that company.
As no remuneration payments are made
by GMT Bond Issuer Limited it does not
maintain a Remuneration Committee.
Policies and procedures
The Manager has established a number of
policies and procedures that govern the
behaviour of its Directors and employees,
which are summarised as follows.
(a) Related Party Policy
Due to the close relationship between
Goodman Group and the Trust, the
management of the real or apparent
conflicts of interest that may arise are the
highest of the Manager’s list of corporate
governance priorities.
The Manager has put in place a
comprehensive Related Party Policy
which summarises the relevant restrictions
contained in the Listing Rules, the law and
relevant contractual commitments, and
how these issues are managed.
The Manager uses this policy as a tool to
ensure that:
+ management and the Board are properly
briefed and educated on the relevant
restrictions and the processes put in
place to ensure compliance with these
restrictions; and
+ unitholders and the investment market
recognise that the Manager deals with
related party issues in an appropriate,
transparent and robust manner.
The Manager believes that having a Board
with experienced and strong Independent
Directors, sends a message to the market
of how seriously the Manager takes related
party issues and the conflicts of interest that
may arise.
(b) Continuous Disclosure Policy
The Manager is committed to keeping
Unitholders, regulators and the market
fully and promptly informed of all material
information relevant to the Manager, the
Trust and GMT Bond Issuer Limited.
To this end, the Manager has a Continuous
Disclosure Policy which explains the
relevant legal requirements and sets out the
procedures the Manager has put in place to
ensure compliance with them.
(c) Financial Products Trading Policy
The Manager has a Financial Products
Trading Policy which raises awareness about
the insider trading provisions in the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013 (“FMCA”)
and strengthens those requirements with
additional compliance standards and
procedures which Directors and employees
who wish to trade in GMT Units or
Goodman+Bonds must comply with.
The Manager imposes trading windows
through this policy as well as requiring
written approval of the CEO or Chairman
prior to any trade. Speculative trading is
also prohibited with a minimum holding
period of six months imposed.
Periodic briefings are provided to Directors
and employees of the requirements of
this policy, with email advice of trading
window status (and a constant reminder
to employees via the home page of the
Manager’s intranet site) also provided.
(d) Code of Conduct
Directors and employees of the Manager
abide by the Goodman Group Code of
Conduct and Ethical Concerns Policy which
establishes required standards of ethical
and personal conduct. Compliance with
this policy is a condition of employment.
Employees are provided with regular training
on these policies and their implications.
This Code of Conduct makes all Directors
and employees responsible for reporting
unethical or corrupt behaviour and the
Manager will take whatever disciplinary
action it considers appropriate in the
circumstances, including dismissal.
A copy of all corporate policies noted above
can be viewed on GMT’s website within the
corporate governance section.
(e) Diversity
Whilst GMT does not have any employees,
it has elected to adopt a diversity policy for
the employees of the Manager in NZ (see
page 30). Employees of the Manager also
have the benefit of the Goodman Group
Diversity Policy, a copy of which can be
found at www.goodman.com.
At the Balance Date and the date of this
report the Board comprised two female
Directors out of a total of seven Directors.
All three of the officers of the Manager are
male. This is unchanged from the prior
period. Further details of the diversity of the
Goodman NZ workforce are included on
page 30.
Risk management
Effective management of all types of risk
(financial and non-financial) is a fundamental
part of the Manager’s business strategy.
The Audit Committee has the responsibility
of overseeing the Manager’s risk
management practices and works closely
with Management and the Trust’s auditors
to ensure that risk management issues are
properly identified and addressed.
116
Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Corporate governance (continued)
The Audit Committee approves the work
programme for the internal audit and the
results of each discrete business unit review
and the action taken by the Manager to deal
with any issues identified.
The Manager maintains a risk management
framework for GMT which includes regular
reporting to both the Audit Committee and
the Board and the undertaking of an annual
risk assessment for GMT.
Manager’s remuneration
Under the Trust Deed, the Manager receives
a fee for the management of the Trust.
The fee is comprised of two components:
a base fee and a performance fee.
The base fee component is equal to 0.50%
per annum of the book value of assets
(other than cash, debtors and development
land) less than or equal to $500 million, and
0.40% per annum of the book value of assets
(other than cash, debtors and development
land) greater than $500 million. This fee
arrangement was supplemented by changes
approved by the Unitholders in August 2014,
under which the manager is required to use
its base fee to subscribe for GMT units for a
period of five years from 1 April 2014.
Further details can be found on the investor
centre of the Goodman Property Trust
website www.goodman.com.
The performance fee is determined by
reference to the Trust’s performance
(including gross distributions and
movements in Unit price), relative to the
performance of the Trust’s New Zealand
listed real estate peers and calculated on
an annual basis.
The calculation of the Manager’s base fee is
reviewed annually by the Trust’s auditors. By
a separate specific engagement, the Trust’s
auditors also review the calculation of the
Manager’s performance fee (if any) each year.
The Manager is also entitled to be
reimbursed for amounts properly incurred
on behalf of the Trust.
Annual Meeting
The Board views the Annual Meeting
(“AM”) as an excellent forum in which
to discuss issues relevant to GMT. The
Board encourages the full participation of
Unitholders at these meetings to ensure a
high level of accountability and identification
with the Manager’s strategy and objectives.
To maximise the effectiveness of
communication at the AM, the Manager
also requires its external auditors to attend
the meeting and be prepared to answer
Unitholders’ questions about the conduct
of the audit, as well as the preparation and
content of the independent auditors’ report.
Other statutory and listing
rule disclosures
NZX Waivers
NZX has granted waivers to GMT and GMT
Bond Issuer at various times, some of which
have been relied upon by GMT and GMT
Bond Issuer Limited during the year ended
31 March 2018.
Fees
Under paragraph 39(d) of the waivers
that were granted to GMT by NZX on
12 November 2012, GMT is required to
disclose in its interim financial statements
the fees that were paid to GPSNZ under the
property management and development
management agreements between HDL
and GPSNZ, and between HBPL and
GPSNZ during the period they were in force.
Included within property management
fees and development management fees
paid is $0.4 million paid pursuant to the
property management and development
management agreements between
HBPL and GPSNZ for the year ended
31 March 2018.
Included within property management
fees and development management fees
paid is $5.4 million paid pursuant to the
property management and development
management agreements between HDL and
GPSNZ for the year ended 31 March 2018.
GMT
On 17 May 2018, NZX granted GMT a waiver
from NZX Listing Rule 9.2.1 in relation to
the proposed sale of 100% of the shares in
Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited (“WPH”)
to Viaduct Holdings IV Limited pursuant to
the terms of a sale and purchase agreement
(“Proposed Transaction”). GMT, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Goodman Nominee
(NZ) Limited (“Nominee”), holds 51% of
the shares in WPH. Reco Aotearoa Private
Limited (“Reco”) holds the remaining 49%
of shares in WPH. The waiver from NZX
Listing Rule 9.2.1 was granted to the extent
that the Rule would otherwise require GMT
to seek unitholder approval to enter into the
Proposed Transaction.
The effect of the waiver from NZX Listing
Rule 9.2.1 is that GMT is able to enter
into the Proposed Transaction without
first obtaining the approval of an ordinary
resolution of unitholders. Unitholder
approval of the Proposed Transaction
would otherwise have been required, as the
Proposed Transaction will be a “Material
Transaction” (as that term is defined in the

On 18 May 2017, NZX granted GMB a
waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3 in relation
to the Goodman+Bonds issued on 31 May
2017 (“GMB040 Bonds”) to enable GMB to
apply for quotation on the NZX Debt Market
even though the GMB040 Bonds may not
initially be held by at least 500 members
of the public holding at least 25% of the
GMB040 Bonds issued (as required by NZX
Listing Rule 5.2.3). The waiver has been
granted for a period of six months from the
quotation date of the GMB040 Bonds (being
1 June 2017).
The effect of the waiver from NZX Listing
Rule 5.2.3 is that initially the GMB040 Bonds
may not be widely held and there may be
reduced liquidity in the GMB040 Bonds.
To the extent that the GMB040 Bonds meet
the spread requirements of NZX Listing Rule
5.2.3, GMB will notify NZX accordingly.
GMB has agreed to notify NZX as soon as
practicable if there is a material reduction
to the total number of members of the
public holding GMB040 Bonds, and/or
the percentage of GMB040 Bonds held by
members of the public holding at least a
minimum holding. GMB has also agreed to
clearly and prominently disclose this waiver,
its conditions and their implications in each
offer document relating to the GMB040
Bonds and in its half-year report and its
annual report for the period the waiver is
relied on.
A complete copy of the waivers provided by
NZX can be found at www.nzx.com under
the GMT code.

Goodman Property Trust Annual Report 2018 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Annual Report 2018
Remuneration report
Introduction
As a Unit Trust managed by an external
manager, Goodman Property Trust does not
have any Directors or employees of its own.
The Manager, Goodman (NZ) Limited has a
Board of Directors with responsibility for the
strategic management of GMT.
Goodman Property Services (NZ) Limited,
a sister company to GNZ, is the entity that
employs the personnel and seconds staff
to the Manager who manage GMT on a
day-to-day basis. The Management Team
included on page 47 of this Annual Report
are employed by GPSNZ.
Both GNZ and GPSNZ are owned by
Goodman Group, listed on the Australian
stock exchange.
This remuneration report outlines the
Manager’s key remuneration policies.
Increased disclosure
The Trust does not bear directly any
employment related costs. Those costs
are borne by GNZ and GPSNZ and paid by
those companies from the fees they earn
from GMT.
GMT has no remuneration disclosure
obligations as it does not have any Directors
or employees however in the interest of
transparency to unitholders the Board of
GNZ provides remuneration disclosure for
Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board’s view is that remuneration
strategies that closely align the long-term
wealth creation objectives of employees
who provide management services to GMT
with long-term wealth creation objectives
of GMT unitholders are strategically
important and provide motivation for value
maximisation for the Trust.
Remuneration Committee
The NZX Corporate Governance Code
provides that issuers should establish a
Remuneration Committee to recommend
remuneration packages for Directors to
the owners of the issuer. As GMT (an
issuer) does not have employees and the
Manager’s Directors’ fees are paid by GNZ,
GMT does not maintain a Remuneration
Committee.
In support of effective corporate
governance, remuneration issues which
relate to GNZ and GPSNZ fall under the
responsibility of an established sub-
committee of the Board of Goodman Group,
the Remuneration Committee.
Details regarding this committee may be
found on the Goodman Group website at
www.goodman.com under About us /
Corporate governance.
The Remuneration Committee has the
responsibility to consider remuneration
related issues more fully and provide
recommendations to the Board of Goodman
Group and its subsidiaries.
Mr Pryke, a non-executive Director of GNZ
and an Independent Director of Goodman
Group, is the Chairman of the Goodman
Group Remuneration Committee.
Summary of key remuneration
principles
A summary of key remuneration principles
applied by GPSNZ is set out below:
+ the basis of remuneration is local
market referenced base salary, reviewed
annually;
+ employees may be awarded short
term incentives in the form of
discretionary cash bonuses, subject to
GMT, Goodman Group and personal
achievement of financial and operational
targets;
+ all employees can participate equally in
two long term incentive plans designed
to maximise long-term alignment with
unitholders of GMT (“NZ LTIP”) and
securityholders of Goodman Group
(“Goodman Group LTIP”);
+ under the NZ LTIP, performance rights
are issued which give employees the
right to acquire, for nil consideration,
Goodman Property Trust units subject
to the satisfaction of hurdles assessed
over specific three year testing period
timeframes. GMT units awarded are
sourced from units held by Goodman
Group or purchased on market by
Goodman Group and are a cost of
GPSNZ not the Trust. The Trust does not
issue any additional units in relation to
the NZ LTIP scheme;
+ under the Goodman Group LTIP,
performance rights are issued which
give employees the right to acquire,
for nil consideration, stapled securities
of Goodman Group subject to the
satisfaction of hurdles assessed over
specific three year testing period
timeframes. GMG securities awarded are
a cost of GPSNZ not the Trust;
+ for both LTIP schemes, an employee is
required to remain employed for a five
year period from the initial granting to be
eligible to receive all of the awards that
meet performance hurdles;
+ performance based incentives such
as cash bonuses and performance
rights are normally awarded only when
key metrics are met or exceeded,
however, discretion remains with the
Board of Goodman Group on the final
determination of awards in cases of
exceptional individual or divisional
performance where financial metrics
may not have been met; and
+ conversely there may be situations
where the Board of Goodman Group
exercises its discretion to withhold
incentives.

Other employees’ remuneration
As at 31 March 2018 the number of
employees of GPSNZ (not including the
CEO) who received remuneration and
other benefits with a combined total value
exceeding $100,000 was as set out below.
Performance Rights vesting during the year
have been valued at the underlying security
value on the date of vesting. No value
has been attributed to performance rights
granted during the year. None of the cost of
this remuneration is borne by GMT.
All permanent employees are entitled to
participate in both the New Zealand LTIP
and the Goodman Group LTIP in addition
to receiving their salary and the opportunity
to be awarded a cash paid short term
incentive.
Components of total
remuneration
For employees of GPSNZ as at 31 March
2018, the relative proportions of their total
remuneration received for the year ended
31 March 2018 was as set out below.
This is consistent with Goodman’s
remuneration philosophy in that employees
are encouraged to make commercial
decisions that are in the long term best
interests of investors through gaining
exposure to equity. More than 80% of the
CEO’s total remuneration is performance
based and therefore at risk. On average,
other executives have around 65% of their
total remuneration at risk.
For employees (including the CEO) as at
31 March 2018, the NZ LTIP awarded them
GMT units with a market value of $2.2 million
on the date of vesting. The Goodman Group
LTIP awarded those employees GMG
securities with a market value of $3.5 million
on the date of vesting. None of the cost of
these awards was borne by the Trust.
