Date
7 November 2018
Release
Immediate
Goodman (NZ) Limited, the manager of Goodman Property Trust (“GMT” or
“Trust”) is pleased to announce the Trust’s interim result for the six months
ended 30 September 2018.
Major property transactions and the rapid progression of the Trust’s development
programme, supported by strong customer demand, is concentrating the portfolio and
focusing investment in the Auckland industrial market.
Financial and operational highlights include:
+ Statutory profit of $66.4 million before tax, 46.6% higher than the $45.3 million
recorded in the previous corresponding period. Fair value gains of $16.8 million
on certain investment properties was the main variance.
+ Adjusted operating earnings
1
of $51.7 million after tax or 4.0 cents per unit on a
weighted average unit basis, compared to $51.4 million and 4.0 cents per unit
previously.
+ Cash distributions of 3.325 cents per unit, relating to the first six months,
representing around 92% of cash earnings
2
.
+ Strong operating results with portfolio occupancy of 98.4% and a weighted
average lease term of 5.5 years.
+ $209.6 million of development work in progress, with a further $75 million - $100
million of new projects expected to commence this financial year.
+ The conditional sale of GMT’s 51% share in the joint venture that owns the VXV
Portfolio for a gross sale price of $323.9 million.
+ Substantial balance sheet capacity with a loan to value ratio of 17.5% at 30
September 2018, after contracted sales, and committed gearing of just 25.8%.
Strategic focus
Keith Smith, Chairman of Goodman (NZ) Limited said, “The year to date has seen asset
sales, new development projects, positive leasing results and a strategic acquisition add
to the positive momentum of the last three years.”
With more than 99% of the Trust’s $2.3 billion property portfolio located in the country’s
largest city, GMT’s investment strategy is now almost exclusively focused on the
Auckland industrial market.

Keith Smith said, “The focus on Auckland industrial property is contributing to strong
financial results and positioning the Trust for sustainable growth over the long-term.”
Detailed information is provided in GMT’s interim report. The report was released today
and is available on the Trust’s website at: www.goodman.com/nz.
Portfolio refinement
John Dakin, Chief Executive Officer of Goodman (NZ) said, “Underlying economic
drivers remain strong and customer demand for high-quality industrial property continues
to exceed supply.”
GMT’s development programme is well advanced with almost $210 million of
development projects scheduled for completion over the next eight months.
John Dakin continued, “It’s a substantial level of activity and recent leasing success
means these development projects are more than 50% committed. This will increase to
around 70% committed as deals that are well progressed are successfully concluded.”
“To ensure GMT can meet future customer requirements we expect to commence
another $75 million - $100 million of new development projects this financial year.”
The positive market dynamics that are supporting the intensification of the Trust’s
development programme are also being reflected in its portfolio metrics.
At 30 September 2018, the investment portfolio was 98.4% occupied and had a
weighted average lease term of 5.5 years. Sustained customer demand and low vacancy
were factors also driving strong rental increases on leases subject to market reviews.
Balance sheet capacity
The balance sheet capacity to fund the Trust’s development programme has come
through asset disposals.
The conditional sale of the VXV Portfolio in May 2018 largely completes a five-year
disposal programme that will have realised over $1.2 billion of capital when it settles.
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, “The scale of the VXV transaction makes it one of the largest real
estate sales in New Zealand. It signals the end of a portfolio rebalancing process that
has consolidated the Trust and reinforced its position as New Zealand’s leading provider
of high-quality industrial space.”
The Trust has also announced the disposal of 614-616 Great South Road, Greenlane
for $11.6 million. The unconditional sale is due to settle later this month.
Taking account of the proceeds from all contracted sales, the Trust’s loan to value ratio
as at 30 September 2018 would reduce to just 17.5% of total assets.
John Dakin, said, “Reducing gearing to an historically low level provides the Trust with
greater financial flexibility. The priority is to reinvest in the portfolio, completing the
development of GMT’s remaining land holdings.”
With just 22 hectares of land remaining, the Trust is also looking to replenish its
development pipeline with acquisitions that offer longer-term opportunity through
intensification of use or redevelopment.
The purchase of the Foodstuffs Distribution Centre at Roma Road in Mt Roskill is a
recent example of this strategic focus. Acquired after the interim balance date for $93
million, the property is leased to the grocery distributor until 2021. The under-utilised site,
with older style facilities, offers considerable future potential.
Located at the northern end of SH20 close to the Waterview Tunnel, the property
provides quick access to the motorway systems north, south and west.

Tel +64 9 375 6060 | www.goodman.com/nz
John Dakin said, “The population within a 20-minute delivery truck radius is estimated to
be almost 700,000 people. With warehouse space already supply constrained, the
surrounding consumer catchment makes this an ideal location for fulfilment and logistics
companies.”
GMT’s committed gearing, including all developments and acquisitions, is 25.8%. It
represents around half the level of borrowings permitted under the Trust’s debt
covenants.
Guidance and outlook
With a strongly performing portfolio and a stable business outlook, the Trust is expected
to deliver a full year result consistent with earlier guidance.
Cash earnings of around 7.0 cents per unit are forecast for the year, with cash
distributions of 6.65 cents per unit expected to be paid.
John Dakin said, “We have positioned our business to capitalise on the growth of
Auckland, the expansion of e-commerce and rising consumerism. Taking advantage of
the positive operating environment and intensifying the development programme with an
appropriate mix of design-build and build-to-lease projects remains a key objective.”
“It’s the continuation of a successful strategy that has refined and extended the portfolio
since 2014.”

John Dakin

and Executive Director
Keith Smith
Chairman and
Independent Director
Major property transactions and the rapid progression of the Trust’s
development programme, supported by strong customer demand, is
concentrating the portfolio and focusing investment in the Auckland
industrial market. It’s the continuation of a longer-term strategy that has
transformed GMT into New Zealand’s leading industrial property provider.
The year to date has seen asset sales, new
development projects, positive leasing results and a
strategic acquisition add to the positive momentum
of the last three years.
With a strong balance sheet and a portfolio focused
on the best-performing property sector, the Board
and Management Team are extremely pleased with
the progress being achieved. The Directors also
believe that GMT is well positioned for sustainable
long-term growth.
GMT’s financial performance
The Trust recorded a profit before tax of $66.4 million
for the six months to 30 September 2018, a 46.6%
increase from the previous corresponding period.
Fair value gains of $16.8 million on certain
investment properties was the main variance.
Of these fair value gains, $11.7 million related to
development projects that were sufficiently far
progressed to be independently valued. The balance
of $5.1 million related to the sale of 614-616 Great
South Road, which became unconditional following
the Trust’s interim balance date. The gains attributed
to these properties contributed to an increase in
net tangible asset backing, from 138.9 cents per
unit at 31 March 2018, to 140.2 cents per unit at
30 September 2018.
With the additional revenue from new acquisitions
and developments offsetting asset sales, adjusted
operating earnings before tax of $60.1 million were
0.5% higher than the previous period.
On a weighted average unit basis, adjusted operating
earnings were 4.65 cents per unit before tax and
4.00 cents per unit after tax.
Cash earnings of 3.61 cents per unit for the six
months to 30 September 2018 is consistent with
the full year guidance of around 7.0 cents per unit.
The Board has reiterated that quarterly distributions
totalling 6.65 cents per unit are expected to be paid
in relation to this financial year.
Strategic direction
With more than 99% of the Trust’s $2.3 billion
investment property portfolio located in the
country’s largest city, GMT’s investment strategy
is now almost exclusively focused on the Auckland
industrial market.
A strong regional economy, supported by immigration
flows and demographic trends, is contributing to the
growing demand for well-located and operationally
efficient logistics property. The expansion of online
retailing is also driving supply chain requirements
for warehouse and distribution space close to
consumers.
These positive market dynamics are supporting the
Trust’s development programme and contributing to
high occupancy rates and accelerating rental growth
across the portfolio.
Chairman’s and Chief Executive Officer’s report (continued)
5Goodman Property Trust Interim Report 2019 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Interim Report 2019
With the development programme well advanced,
and GMT’s land weighting below 5% of portfolio
value, the Trust’s Statement of Investment Policies
and Objectives is being amended to add flexibility.
The revision, which will come into effect on
10 December 2018, will allow an increase in the
proportion of uncommitted development projects
being undertaken.
It’s a positive change that recognises the success of
the build-to-lease programme and the smaller sized
facilities required to complete the development of
GMT’s remaining land holdings.
Asset disposals have provided the balance sheet
capacity to fund the Trust’s development programme.
The sale of the VXV Portfolio in May 2018
(1)
was
timed to take advantage of the buoyant investment
market. With a gross sale price of $635 million, the
Trust’s 51% interest in the joint venture reflected a
sale price of $323.85 million. The realised gain will
add around 2.5 cents per unit to net tangible asset
backing when it settles, expected to be later this
financial year.
It is a defining transaction for GMT.
The scale makes it one of the largest real estate
sales in New Zealand and it completes a portfolio
rebalancing process that has consolidated the Trust
and reinforced its position as New Zealand’s leading
provider of high-quality industrial space.
Reducing GMT’s loan to value ratio from an already
low 25% at 31 March 2018 to just 17.5% of total
assets, the sale also provides the Trust with greater
financial flexibility.

Foodstuffs Distribution Centre, Mt Roskill
Acquired after the interim balance date, the 13.1-hectare property features 36,650 sqm of warehouse and office space
together with associated yard and parking areas.
6Goodman Property Trust Interim Report 2019 GMT Bond Issuer Limited Interim Report 2019
Chairman’s and Chief Executive Officer’s report (continued)
GMT has maintained its strong balance sheet
position by only investing in new opportunities
that are complementary to the existing portfolio.
These have included properties that offer longer-
term opportunity through intensification of use or
redevelopment.
The purchase of the Foodstuffs Distribution Centre at
Roma Road in Mt Roskill is a recent example of this
strategic focus. Acquired after the interim balance
date for $93 million, the property is leased to the
grocery distributor until 2021. The under-utilised
site, with older style facilities, offers considerable
future potential. With limited greenfield sites available
across Auckland, it is a value-add asset similar
to the Tamaki Estate and Concourse properties,
acquired in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
Investors are positive about the current business
strategy and this is being reflected in GMT’s
investment performance. The combination of stock
price appreciation and quarterly distributions has
resulted in a total return of 26.9% over the 12 months
to 30 September 2018. It is almost double the listed
property benchmark and continues GMT’s recent
strong performance, outperforming the benchmark
over the last five years.
Portfolio refinement
New Zealand’s underlying economic drivers remain
positive and in Auckland customer demand for
high-quality industrial space continues to exceed
supply. GMT’s portfolio metrics reflect this demand;
occupancy is 98.4%, rental growth is strengthening
and the Trust has almost $210 million of development
projects under way.
It’s a substantial level of development activity that
includes a combination of design-build and build-
to-lease facilities. Recent leasing success means
the projects under construction are already over
50% committed. This will increase to around 70%
committed as deals that are well progressed are
successfully concluded.
To alleviate current supply constraints and to ensure
the Trust has the facilities to meet future demand it is
expected that a further $75 million – $100 million of
new industrial projects will commence this financial
year. The new facilities are in addition to the two pre-
committed warehouse developments, total project
cost of $54.1 million, announced in May 2018.
The following table details the composition of
the investment portfolio at 30 September 2018,
adjusted for contracted sales.
Following completion of all current developments,
the acquisition of the Foodstuffs Distribution Centre
and including remaining development land, the
portfolio will be 99% industrial with a value of more
than $2.5 billion.
GMT has set the benchmark for industrial property
and the Management Team is continually working to
ensure it maintains a superior quality portfolio. An
upgrade programme is underway across the Trust’s
larger estates with signage, landscaping and access
improvements being undertaken. The new investment
will lift the presentation of these properties to a
consistently high standard.
The portfolio is also regularly assessed to ensure
buildings are operating as efficiently as possible.
A commitment to improving the performance of
the commercial offices within the VXV Portfolio
culminated in the Trust winning the Energy and
Emissions Reduction Project Award at the 2018
EECA Business Awards in September.
The four-year project to improve the energy efficiency
of these buildings has enhanced the quality of the
workspaces they provide and is estimated to have
saved more than 7.5 million kWh of electricity.
Customers have benefitted directly, saving more
than $1.1 million in operating costs.
The project was also highly commended in the Large
Energy User of the Year Award category.
Reinvesting into the portfolio and ensuring building
performance is optimised contributes to the quality
and longevity of GMT’s assets. This focus also
supports high customer retention and satisfaction
levels, important factors in the investment
performance of the Trust.

Business outlook
The focus on Auckland industrial property is
contributing to strong financial results and
positioning GMT for long-term, sustainable growth.
Taking advantage of the positive operating
environment and intensifying the development
programme with an appropriate mix of design-
build and build-to-lease projects remains a key
priority. With just 22 hectares of land remaining it’s
the continuation of a successful strategy that has
refined and extended the portfolio since 2014.
The disposal of the VXV Portfolio largely completes
the sales programme. With $1.2 billion of assets
sold over the last five years, GMT has substantial
balance sheet capacity and greater financial flexibility.
This capital will be deployed, over time, into new
development activity. Complementary acquisitions,
such as the Foodstuffs Distribution Centre, and new
investment opportunities that replenish the landbank
are also areas of focus.
With a strongly performing portfolio and a stable
business outlook, the Trust is expected to deliver
a full year result consistent with earlier guidance.
Cash earnings of around 7.0 cents per unit are
forecast for the year, with cash distributions of
6.65 cents per unit expected to be paid.

GMT’s estates are classified as either “core” or “value-add” estates.
Core
Those estates within the portfolio which consist largely of modern, high-quality industrial and logistics properties.
Value-add
Those estates which generally consist of older properties that are likely to have redevelopment potential over the medium to long-term. Redevelopment of the properties
to realise their maximum future value may require a change in use.
Subsequent event
In September 2018, GMT conditionally contracted the sale of 614-616 Great South Road, a value-add property, for $11.6 million. This contract became unconditional
in October 2018 resulting in a gain on sale of $5.1 million over the previous carrying value. This gain has been reflected as a fair value movement in the interim financial
statements. Settlement is expected to occur in November 2018.
In October 2018, GMT settled the acquisition of an industrial property at Roma Road, Mount Roskill for $93.0 million.

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.
Significant transactions
In May 2018, the shareholders of Wynyard Precinct Holdings Limited, the joint venture between GMT and GIC, agreed to sell all the shares in WPHL to Blackstone for
a 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. The sale is conditional
upon Overseas Investment Office approval, with settlement expected late in this financial year.
Accounting policies
The joint venture is accounted for using the equity method until the date it was contracted for sale, after which it is classified as a held for sale asset and carried at
the lower of its carrying amount immediately prior to change in classification and fair value less costs of sale. Accounting policies of the joint venture are aligned with
policies of GMT.

The following analysis is provided to show GMT’s share of WPHL’s earnings for the period pre-contracted for sale and post-contracted for
sale. GMT’s 51% share of pre-contracted for sale earnings are equity accounted, which is consistent with prior periods. GMT’s share of
post-contracted for sale earnings are not equity accounted, therefore an adjustment has been made to the non-GAAP measure of adjusted
operating earnings in note 4.2 to allow for comparability to the prior period and to reflect GMT’s continuing economic interest in WPHL
until settlement, expected late this financial year.

New Zealand, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited (each providing $101.25 million) and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
Limited (providing $45.0 million).
As at 30 September 2018, GMT’s drawn borrowings had a weighted average remaining term of 5.0 years (31 March 2018: 4.5 years), with 81% being drawn from
non-bank sources (31 March 2018: 68%). Calculation of the weighted average remaining term assumes bank debt utilises the longest dated facilities.

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
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 as at 31 March 2018 incorporates GMT’s 51% share of WPHL. Due to the agreed sale of WPHL, the GMT look through LVR no longer incorporates
GMT’s 51% share of WPHL and now aligns with the standalone LVR for GMT.

Independent review report
to the unitholders of Goodman Property Trust
Report on the interim financial statements
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of Goodman Property
Trust (the Trust) and its controlled entities (together, the Group) on pages 9 to 32,
which comprise the balance sheet as at 30 September 2018, and the statement of
profit or loss, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows
for the period ended on that date, and selected explanatory notes.
Manager’s responsibility for the financial statements
The directors of Goodman (NZ) Limited (the Manager) are responsible on behalf
of the Trust for the preparation and presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34
Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) and International Accounting Standard 34
Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) 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.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the accompanying financial
statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with
the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Financial
Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410).
NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our
attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole,
are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and
IAS 34. As the auditor of the Trust, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with
the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.
A review of financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited
assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of
making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures
performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand)
and International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit
opinion on these financial statements.
We are independent of the Group. Other than in our capacity as the auditor
and provider of other related assurance services, we have no relationship with,
or interests in, the Group.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe
that these financial statements of the Group are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Trust’s unitholders, as a body. Our review work
has been undertaken so that we might state to the Trust’s unitholders those
matters which we are required to state to them in our review 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’s unitholders, as a body, for our
review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.
