Chair and
Independent Director
Location:
The Crossing
The commercial
heart of Highbrook,
featuring professional
service providers,
food and hospitality
operators, conference
and accommodation
facilities and
24 hour gym.
GMT has demonstrated its resilience over
the last 12 months, adapting to the operational
challenges of COVID-19 and delivering a
record profit of $648.9 million before tax.
Chair’s report
The past year has reinforced the
important role that warehousing and
logistics has in our national supply chain,
facilitating fast and efficient distribution of
food and other essential items. This critical
business infrastructure supports the rapid
growth of New Zealand’s digital economy.
While the pandemic has constrained
overall economic activity this year, the
focus and quality of the Trust’s $3.8 billion
portfolio and strength of its customer
relationships have contributed to another
impressive financial result.
Low gearing has allowed the Trust
to remain active and maximise new
opportunities. Strategic acquisitions,
further development progress and new
capital management and governance
initiatives have added to the positive
momentum in the business.
The Board is equally satisfied with
GMT’s corporate performance and
the progress being made on our
sustainability programme.
We have reduced our carbon footprint
and strengthened our commitment to
mitigating the impacts of climate change.
We are doing more for our people,
increasing our community support and
focusing our reporting on topics that
matter to our stakeholders.
See the sustainability report, pages 30
to 51, for more information.
Financial review
This year’s statutory profit of
$648.9 million before tax was a record
for the Trust and 128.2% higher than
FY20. $560.0 million of the profit was
attributed to the portfolio revaluation.
The 1 7.3% increase in value reflects
strong property market fundamentals
and increased investor demand for
high-quality Auckland industrial assets.
Operating earnings before tax were
also higher in FY21, with positive leasing
results, new development completions
and strategic acquisitions contributing
to an increase from $109.7 million in
FY20 to $114.9 million.
A performance fee of $13.7 million was
also earned by the Manager this year.

Chair’s report (continued)
The fee is excluded from operating
earnings as it is used to subscribe for
new units in the Trust. The Trust Deed
requirement ensures the close alignment
of interests between Goodman, as
Manager and cornerstone investor,
and other Unitholders.
Cash distributions of 5.3 cents per unit,
representing around 83% of GMT’s
cash earnings, were paid. The change
to distribution policy this year, where
we introduced a target payout ratio of
between 80% and 90% of cash earnings,
provides better alignment between
Unitholder distributions and underlying
cashflows from the Trust’s portfolio.
A more stable economic outlook
supported by strong levels of leasing
and development enquiry give the
Board confidence about the coming
year. Guidance for FY22 includes cash
distributions of at least 5.5 cents per unit,
representing a 4% increase from FY21.
See the financial summary section,
pages 53 to 54, for more information.
Towards a sustainable future
A sustainable operating model is
essential for an organisation to
be successful over the long-term.
Having the resilience to respond to
market disruptions while minimising
any negative economic, social and
governance outcomes has never
been more important.
This year we have reviewed the material
factors that determine our success
and have increased our efforts and
commitments in key areas.
Receiving carbonzero certification from
Toitū is a notable achievement that
reflects the priority placed on reducing our
environmental impact. Implementing an
emissions reduction plan and purchasing
New Zealand carbon credits means the
business is now proudly carbon neutral,
four years ahead of our 2025 target date.
Our commitment to reducing climate
change impacts has been extended to
the Trust’s development programme
where a five star Green Star rated building
specification is being targeted for all
new developments.
We will also be offsetting embodied
carbon in these new projects. Mitigating
greenhouse gas emissions from
construction activities and from the
manufacture of building materials and
products used in our developments is
industry leading.
A sustainable capital
structure, that includes
substantial reserves,
has allowed GMT to
pursue new investment
and development
opportunities.

Chair’s report (continued)
Asset sales and equity issuance in
previous years have significantly
deleveraged the balance sheet, while
new debt issues have diversified the
Trust’s sources of funding. The Board
has continued this prudent approach
by extending the successful bond
programme and reducing its preferred
gearing range for the Trust, to between
20% and 30%.
These measures,
together with
refinements to the
distribution policy
support the creation
of a high-quality, low
risk property business
focused on sustainable
long-term growth.
The responsibility of looking after our
team and those in our community has
had even greater priority this year. The
global impacts of COVID-19 have been
devastating and Goodman has worked
to ensure the health and safety of all
its people, customers, contractors and
service providers.

Board changes
A highly capable Board, that includes
a majority of independent directors,
has overseen the growth of GMT and
the significant portfolio repositioning
that occurred between 2015 and 2019.
A stable and contemporary governance
structure has given investors and other
stakeholders confidence in our business
model and strategic direction.
While operational performance has
been the focus of the last 12 months,
positive progress has also been made
with our Board renewal programme.
The governance initiative will ensure the
tenure of independent directors is aligned
with best practice guidelines.
After more than 10 years of valued service,
independent directors Peter Simmonds
and Susan Paterson retired, effective
31 December 2020 and 31 March 2021,
respectively.
Both directors made an outstanding
contribution to the business and on behalf
of the Board and Management I would like
to acknowledge their support, efforts and
commitment.
Laurissa Cooney and David Gibson,
two highly capable professional
directors have been appointed. The
refreshed Board maintains its majority of
independent directors and will continue
to provide strong direction to guide the
next phase of GMT’s growth.

Structural trends driven by a growing
digital economy are contributing to
an increase in customer demand for
high-quality industrial space.
E-commerce is emerging as an important
demand driver for well-located distribution
facilities in large consumer markets
around the world. With its urban logistics
portfolio strategically located across
Auckland, GMT continues to benefit from
e-commerce growth.
The Trust’s investment strategy and
the commitment of the Goodman team
have contributed to another impressive
operating result in FY21. The achievement
is particularly notable given the disruptive
impacts of COVID-19 over the last
12 months.
Key highlights include:

Portfolio performance
GMT’s $3.8 billion portfolio includes
around 1.1 million sqm of space leased to
more than 210 customers. High-quality
warehouse and logistics facilities provide
these companies with the physical
infrastructure to manage inventory and
service end consumers.
New space requirements and the
extension of existing customer
relationships have underpinned strong
leasing results and renewed levels of
development activity.
More than 146,500 sqm of space, or
13.4% of the investment portfolio was
secured on new or revised terms over
the last 12 months. These positive
leasing outcomes have helped maintain
the average portfolio occupancy rate
of 99% and weighted average lease term
of more than five years.
Greater levels of enquiry are also driving
GMT’s development programme.
Companies have gained confidence in
the operating environment as the year has
progressed and are now considering their
future space requirements.
Seven design-build and build-to-lease
developments were completed during the
year. The projects, with a combined value
of $125 million, have added 33,918 sqm of
high-quality space to the portfolio.
The Trust also commenced four new
developments, with a total project cost of
$132 million.

Management report (continued)
The largest of the
new projects is the
redevelopment of
Roma Road Estate.
The 13.1 hectare brownfield site in
Mt Roskill is being transformed into a
modern logistics hub that maximises
the property’s inner-city location.
The masterplan includes four new
distribution facilities, with over 42,000 sqm
of high-quality distribution space.
New Zealand Post will anchor the
redevelopment, committing to a 20-year
lease over the first 17,700 sqm warehouse.
The project is a continuation of a
successful partnership, with the customer
occupying five separate facilities across
the portfolio.
Subsequent projects at Roma Road
will be staged to meet demand with the
property expected to have a value of more
than $200 million once fully developed.
Targeting a five star Green Star rating
the estate will feature highly sustainable
buildings and workspaces complemented
by extensive onsite amenity. The
embodied carbon within the building
materials and construction process will
be reduced where possible with the
remainder offset.
Following the Trust’s 31 March balance
date another new development project
has been confirmed.
Favona Estate in Māngere is to be
extensively redeveloped. The value-add,
seven-hectare property will feature two
new warehouses, totalling 33,205 sqm.
Mainfreight has committed to the larger
22,435 sqm facility with the second
warehouse being developed on a build-
to-lease basis. The redevelopment
has an expected completion date of
February 2023.
The project adds to GMT’s current
development workbook which now
includes $250.1 million of active projects.
Acquiring for tomorrow
With just 6.1 hectares of greenfield
land in the portfolio, new investment
opportunities for future development
continue to be targeted.
The acquisition of properties neighbouring
the Trust’s Savill Link and Mt Wellington
industrial estates was consistent with this
strategy. With a combined purchase price
of $83 million these properties have a
total site area of 14.5 hectares. Currently
leased, with existing improvements
providing steady holding income, the
new sites offer a range of longer-term
redevelopment options that will contribute
to GMT’s growth.

Financial flexibility
A well-capitalised balance sheet with
substantial reserves has enabled
GMT to take advantage of these new
opportunities. With a loan to value ratio of
just 19.2% and only partially drawn debt
facilities the Trust retains $339 million of
funding capacity for future investment.
It’s a strong position
that has been achieved
through careful
financial management
and disciplined
execution of GMT’s
investment strategy.
The issue of $200 million of fixed interest
rate bonds to New Zealand wholesale
investors in September 2020 was a
continuation of this prudent approach.
The highly successful issue included
two tranches:
1) $150 million of 10-year bonds paying
2.559% per annum, and
2) $50 million of eight-year bonds paying
2.262% per annum.

expiry extended out to November 2022.
At 31 March 2021, the weighted term to
expiry across all the Trust’s drawn debt
was 5.2 years.
Looking ahead
Auckland’s urban logistics market has
continued to be the best performing of all
the commercial property sectors. Despite
the challenging year, the resilience of the
industrial property sector has contributed
to another strong operating result for GMT.
The unique demand drivers created
by a growing online marketplace are
supporting the Trust’s leasing results and
a renewed level of development activity.
While economic risks remain, the quality
and scale of the portfolio, together with
low gearing and focused investment
strategy, make us optimistic about the
future.
Prioritising sustainability this year has
reinforced our commitment to reducing
our environmental impacts. Meeting the
needs of our customers with sustainable
property solutions is positive for all
our stakeholders.

COVID-19 by embracing the convenience
and safety of online sales and contactless
delivery. During Alert Levels 4 and 3
from late March to mid-May 2020, the
average weekly online spend in the Food,
Groceries and Liquor category grew over
100% compared to 12 months earlier.
Alert Level 3 and 4 restrictions in place for Auckland
March 2020 – March 2021
81 days
Rest of New Zealand: 52 days
Additional health and safety precautions
that included new social distancing and
contact tracing protocols together with
personal protective equipment have
helped keep our team members and
worksites safe.
Development activity was able to continue
with only limited interruption and all active
projects were completed on schedule and
within budget.
Customer impacts
The urban logistics market has continued
to be the best performing of all the
commercial property sectors.
Overall leasing demand has remained
strong and portfolio occupancy has been
maintained at an average of 99%.
While the majority of GMT’s customers
have adapted to the new operating
The trend has been sustained beyond the
initial lockdown period and it highlights a
continuing shift in consumer behaviour
with around $5.8 billion of online sales in
New Zealand in 2020. The level of online
shopping represents around 11% of total
retail sales in New Zealand, an increase of
25% from a year earlier.
The rapid growth in e-commerce is also
reflected in greater demand for logistics
and delivery services. It’s another
positive demand driver for well-located
industrial property in the country’s largest
consumer market.

Optimising the
supply chain for
data driven cities
Well-located industrial property and highly
efficient freight networks are essential links
in the supply chain.
Warehouse space provides companies
with the physical infrastructure to manage
inventory while established transport
routes connect these businesses with
suppliers, customers and end consumers.
The continued urbanisation of cities
and the rise of e-commerce are having
a significant impact on demand for
warehouse and logistics space in many
markets around the world. A well-
organised supply chain, that can quickly
distribute goods, is essential for these
cities to function and grow.
An investment strategy focused on urban
logistics space has positioned GMT to
maximise these trends.
Auckland is our preferred investment
market. It is the gateway to the country, its
commercial centre and largest consumer
market. It is also growing at a substantial
rate with its population forecast to reach
two million by the early 2030s.
The customers within the Trust’s portfolio
represent a wide range of industries with
most involved in the supply chain, either
directly as a logistics service provider
or indirectly, as a business that regularly
utilises these freight networks.
The following examples explain how
different companies are using our
properties and how the strength of these
businesses underpin our own success.

Urban logistics (continued)
NZ Post has an established courier delivery network.
Its facility at Highbrook Business Park includes a 20,000 sqm distribution
centre with automated sorting that can process up to 120,000 parcels per hour.
Volumes hit a historic peak last year, as consumers elected to order essential
items online during the COVID-19 Alert level restrictions.
Delivering over
the last mile
The growth of e-commerce is
directly contributing to increased
freight volumes in the business
to consumer segment.
Online transactions, which now make up
11% of all retail spending in New Zealand,
are growing at five times the rate of
in-store shopping.
The last mile, where parcels are delivered
to consumers, is now the most important
stage of the journey. Consumers want
faster delivery and greater convenience.
Timely fulfilment offers a competitive
advantage for online retailers that can
meet these expectations.
Greg Morris, Group Property and
Procurement Manager for New Zealand
Post said “e-commerce has created
huge demand for NZ Post’s logistics
and delivery services. New Zealanders
have embraced the convenience and
safety of online shopping, making around
$5.8 billion of online purchases in 2020.”

Technology
driven change
Technological advances have streamlined
supply chains over the last 25 years, improving
the speed and accuracy of delivery networks.
Businesses have had to invest in
information technology to stay competitive.
Warehouse management systems and
barcode scanning were early innovations,
reducing administration requirements and
improving operational efficiency.
Modelling and analytical modules have
extended these systems providing
companies with sophisticated tools
to optimise stock levels and even
forecast demand.
Freight and logistics operators have
also been quick to adopt data driven
innovations. They have embraced GPS
technology to track vehicles and use traffic
data for route planning. The systems
provide visibility throughout the process
allowing customers to view the status of
their delivery.
The growth of the internet and
development of smart devices has
facilitated online shopping. A direct
impact of this has been the increased
demand for distribution facilities close
to consumers, in central city locations.
Automated solutions will be the next
stage in how businesses manage
inventory storage and distribution.
Warehouse operations are already
being disrupted by the development
of advanced robotic systems such
as unmanned forklifts. While not yet
widespread it provides a glimpse of
the future.
Urban logistics (continued)
Mainfreight, one of New Zealand’s largest logistics
and transport service providers, occupies three
facilities within the portfolio.
The customer has adopted new voice activated technology to
improve the accuracy and the speed of its fulfilment functions
within its distribution facility at Savill Link.
The Honeywell system replaces paper-based processes
allowing team members to work in real time, fulfilling orders in
the warehouse without the need for additional documentation or
data processing. Using audio instructions and voice recognition
software to process verbal responses the sophisticated system
streamlines workflows and creates real efficiencies for Mainfreight.

developed industrial
markets all around
the world.
Companies are critically reviewing their
real estate requirements and positioning
their businesses close to consumers.
It simplifies supply chains and creates

GMT’s portfolio is strategically located
across Auckland. It includes estates
in the established industrial suburbs
of East Tāmaki, Māngere, Mt Roskill,
Mt Wellington, Ōtāhuhu, Penrose and
Wiri. Each estate provides customers with
specific benefits unique to that location,
examples of these include;
Direct motorway access
Proximity to the airport or port
Inland port facilities
Rail sidings
Urban logistics (continued)
Mt Wellington Estate, located near Sylvia Park
Shopping Centre, is a 5.8 hectare property
acquired in September 2019 on a sale
and lease-back basis from T&G Global.
The property features functional industrial facilities.
With access to State Highway 1, via the Mt Wellington
interchange, it has excellent connectivity with major
freight and transport infrastructure.
With site coverage of just 31% the property offers a
range of longer-term development options. These options
have been enhanced with the strategic purchase of a
neighbouring 1.2 hectare property in May 2020.
Every one of the Trust’s 11 estates is
central to Auckland’s large population
base. Geo-spatial analysis shows
that the consumer catchment, within
a 20-minute delivery radius of any of
these estates, has an average $24.5 billion
of annual purchasing power.
With few development sites remaining
in the portfolio and limited greenfield
land opportunities in Auckland, the
investment focus has broadened to
include assets in these in-fill locations.

operating model
represents its core
commercial functions.
This strategic
approach is supported
by a sustainability
framework that is fully
integrated across all
business activities.
A sustainable real-estate business model,
that minimises adverse environmental,
economic and social impacts, is essential
if the Trust is to be successful over
the long-term. Acknowledging that its
corporate performance is integral to
its reputation and longevity, Goodman
has integrated these core sustainability
principles into its business strategy and
brand values.
As a long-term investor,
we seek to future-proof
our portfolio. We own
and develop high-quality,
energy efficient properties
in strategic locations, close
to consumers and key
transport infrastructure.
A focus on workplace
amenity ensures Goodman
facilities are also designed
to meet our customers
wider business needs.
We believe that a business
with a safety conscious
and inclusive culture, that
is positively connected with
its community, will deliver
superior long-term results.
Our people are recruited
and rewarded based on
their commitment to these
values, their professional
expertise and their

Material factors
The three pillars of sustainable properties,
people and culture, and corporate
performance incorporate the sustainability
topics that are relevant to our business.
We’ve previously identified 16 factors as
important contributors to our long-term
success. Following recent interviews,
where we asked stakeholders what
drivers of change they considered to be
the most significant for our business,
we have refined the list which now
includes 14 material factors.
Facilitated by Proxima, the engagement
process included a workshop with
Goodman team members to review and
consider existing material factors.
Face to face, online and phone
interviews were then conducted with a
representative group of stakeholders.
The group included customers, investors,
analysts and community partners.
Of the 22 targeted, 14 participated.
This consultation has refined our material
factors and helped prioritise our focus.
We’re challenging
ourselves to do better,
and do more for the
benefit of all, across
each of these areas.
The following pages describe these
factors and how they integrate into our
broader business strategy. It includes
reporting on a range of non-financial
metrics, monitoring progress against
future targets and being accountable

Sustainable properties (continued)
GMT’s modern property portfolio is
strategically located across Auckland,
close to consumers and key transport
infrastructure. It provides customers with
highly efficient and flexible spaces that
help their businesses succeed.
Maintaining these properties to a high
standard and delivering outstanding
customer service contribute to the
strong relationships that underpin GMT’s
financial results. A target occupancy
rate above 95% (FY21 average 99%)
ensures we are meeting the needs of our
customers and developing only to meet
demand.
The Trust’s successful development
programme is increasingly focused on
the redevelopment of strategic brownfield
sites, within the portfolio. These inner-
city properties provide the greatest
efficiency for logistics customers focused
on last mile delivery, minimising travel
distances and carbon emissions from
transport. Replacing or repurposing
obsolete buildings and remediating
contaminated sites improves the quality
and performance of existing building
stock without consuming additional land,
a diminishing resource in a growing city.
Goodman’s base-build
specification has been
reviewed to ensure
our new warehouse
and logistics facilities
remain industry
leading.
They are constructed from sustainably
sourced building materials and we
manage the development process to
reduce waste and other environmental
impacts. We work collaboratively with
customers and consultants, incorporating
the latest technology to maximise the
operational performance and energy
efficiency of these new buildings.
The redevelopment of Roma Road
Estate is the latest example of this focus.
The inner-city distribution hub will be
a highly sustainable, carbon neutral
development. The facilities will be 5-Star
Green Star rated and are expected to
feature the latest design innovations,
including automated LED lighting, rooftop
solar-energy systems and EV charging
facilities.

Assurance from Toitū confirms our
GHG emissions have been measured in
accordance with ISO 14064-1:2006 and
that we have offset unavoidable emissions
with the purchase of New Zealand
sourced carbon credits.
The table above details the emissions
profile of the business. The largest
emission sources include refrigerant
losses (HVAC system failures), electricity
consumption, fleet vehicle use, corporate
travel and waste.
A reduction in refrigerant losses, from
453 tCO₂e in FY20 to 158 tCO₂e in FY21,
was the main contributor to the overall
reduction in GHG emissions.
While we expect some volatility year to
year our target objective is to reduce
absolute emissions by 19.4% before 2025
(within five years of the 2020 base year).
This commitment includes improving
the performance of the buildings within
the portfolio, minimising the energy
consumed, the waste produced, and the
emissions generated.
Managing climate risk
Acknowledging the threat of climate
change, our sustainability programme
includes ambitious emission reduction
targets that align with the objectives of
the Paris Agreement and the limiting of
global warming to less than 2 degrees.
Mitigating the impacts of climate
change by measuring and minimising
greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) has
become an essential business activity
and we have partnered with Toitū to help
us on this journey. With the completion
of an audited Emissions Inventory and
a detailed Emissions Management and
Reduction Plan we have made substantial
progress, achieving Toitū carbonzero
certification this year.
The certification encompasses Goodman
(NZ) Limited, Goodman Property Services
(NZ) Limited and Goodman Property Trust.
It includes emissions from operational
activities and from the buildings and
spaces within the portfolio where the
Manager has operational control.

With the construction and building sector
contributing almost 20% of New Zealand’s
emissions the level of embodied carbon
within our developments is also being
critically assessed.
As part of our commitment to being a
sustainable business, new materials
and building techniques will be adopted
to mitigate these emissions. Future
developments will also have the balance
of the embodied carbon offset.

of 374,000 kWh the system is

working environment, free of accidents
and other workplace risks. A management
Health and Safety Committee, that reports
to the Board, oversees our Health and
Safety programme.
There were 38 health and safety incidents
reported in FY21 compared to 41 in FY20.
This includes all operations involving
staff and contractors together with any
reported incidents occurring within the
public areas of our portfolio. This reporting
includes hazard observations, near
misses, injuries requiring first aid, injuries
requiring medical treatment and serious
harm injuries. 100% of the incidents were
classified as minor with no serious harm
accidents last year, a pleasing result
that we’re proud to have maintained
since FY18.
Our responsibilities for keeping people
safe and well have been reinforced over
the last year as we have dealt with the
impacts of a global pandemic.
We responded to COVID-19 by extending
our health and safety procedures with
new social distancing and contract tracing
protocols and by providing personal
protective equipment to staff and their
families. These precautionary measures
have helped keep our team and worksites
safe while agile work practices have
allowed us to quickly adapt to the new
working arrangements made necessary
by Alert Level restrictions.
Goodman’s flexible work policy also
ensured that every employee received a
significant financial contribution toward a
home office setup. This has encouraged
a more permanent shift in work practices
with over 98% of staff now working
remotely at least one day a week. It’s a
positive outcome that will help contribute
to a more diverse workforce over time.

Goodman brand values guide how we
interact with each other and ensure we
provide customers and investors with
consistently high-quality service as well
as innovative and sustainable property
and investment solutions.
We celebrate individual

The principles of this policy:
promote a culture of inclusion that
values and respects individual

victimisation and discrimination;
ensure our work practices and
workplace facilities provide the
flexibility needed to support an
inclusive and diverse culture;
provide equal access to all employees
for skills development and career
path progression;
recruit and reward equitably on the
basis of merit, and
comply with all regulatory and
compliance obligations in relation to
diversity and inclusion.

business.
Flexible employment policies also help
reduce bias and ensure we are an
inclusive and progressive organisation.
To further empower our people, we have
a wellbeing programme focused on
health and happiness. These initiatives
include annual flu vaccines and skin
checks, fun-run events at Highbrook
and guest speakers on topical issues.

Corporate performance (continued)
We critically assess
our performance and
provide investors,
regulators, customers
and community
partners with detailed
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 on a range of
topics and issues including sustainability.
Financial stability is a prerequisite for a
sustainable business. It includes:
Responsible and ethical investing
The long-term returns of our assets
The distributions paid to investors
Access to capital and debt funding
Balance sheet resilience
Consistency of results
We have a disciplined approach to
investment and manage prudently
ensuring we retain a strong balance
sheet with diverse sources of funding.
The Board’s preferred gearing range of
between 20% and 30% is well below the
maximum of 50% allowed under GMT’s
Trust and debt covenants. With only partly
drawn debt facilities and low gearing
the Trust has substantial capacity for
new investment. This financial flexibility
also provides added resilience against
unforeseen market shocks that could
impact property values.
A revised distribution policy that
retains up to 20% of cash earnings is a
sustainable approach that ensures GMT
can continue to grow.
Maintaining high occupancy and
customer retention levels is a key driver
of our success. The strength of these
businesses underpins our own financial
performance, providing the strong rental
cashflows that drive earnings growth
and returns to investors. The distribution
guidance for FY22 is for a 4% increase
in cash distributions to around 5.5 cents
per unit.
The strength of GMT’s financial position,
its prudent management policies and
proven business strategy are recognised
in the investment grade credit rating of
BBB from S&P Global Ratings. The rating
has remained stable since it was first
assigned in 2009.
The Board has ultimate responsibility
for ensuring risk is managed effectively.
This includes consideration of all strategic,
operational, financial and compliance
risks. Non-financial issues, including
the impacts of climate change are also
included within this risk framework.
The corporate governance section on
page 104 provides further detail and
compares our approach against the
principles and recommendations of the
NZX Corporate Governance Code.
The full suite of governance polices are
available online: https://nz.goodman.com/
who-we-are/corporate-governance.
Participation in
international reporting
initiatives, that follow
credible and proven
frameworks, is a
requirement of any
business focused on
sustainability.
A commitment to reducing its
environmental footprint led Goodman to
first participate in the Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP) in 2009. The global initiative
encourages companies, cities, states
and regions to monitor greenhouse gas
emissions and implement strategies to
reduce carbon pollution and minimise
climate change impacts.

CDP released the results of last year’s
survey in December 2020. The Trust
received a climate score of B- which was
consistent with the previous year. There
were approximately 25 NZX companies
that contributed data (19 publicly disclosed
their ratings) with CDP evaluating more
than 9,600 organisations worldwide. Of
them, 277 achieved an A rating. Both A and
A minus are regarded as “leadership level”.
Scores B and B minus are considered
“management level”, C and C minus are
“awareness level” and D and D minus are
“disclosure level”.
The implementation of emission
management and reduction strategies,
together with the independent audit
assurance provided by Toitū carbonzero
certification are expected to contribute
to an improved CDP climate score in the
next CDP survey.
You can find out more about the Carbon
Disclosure Project and the rating process
at www.CDP.net.
Adopting the GRI framework this year
has aligned our corporate reporting with
the world’s most widely used standards
for sustainability reporting. The index on
page 50 allows stakeholders to access
and review key information around our
sustainability programme, enhancing
transparency and accountability.
The standard is particularly useful for
investors and fund managers who need
consistent reporting when screening
or assessing investment vehicles on
ESG criteria.
As a leading NZX investment entity we
have a responsibility to provide timely,
balanced and readily available information.
We engage with our stakeholder groups
on a regular basis, through a variety
of communication channels, including
formal reporting obligations, regular
market announcements and briefings,
and more directly through open days,
road shows, presentations, meetings and
volunteering initiatives.
Our memberships and partnerships
include Australasian Investor Relations
Association, Diversity Works, Global
Women, Greater East Tāmaki Business
Association, NZ Green Building Council,
New Zealand Shareholders Association
and Property Council of New Zealand.
Following the government’s
announcement last year that it intends to
make climate related financial disclosures
mandatory GMT’s future reporting will be
extended to ensure it is consistent with
the recommendations of the Task Force
on Climate related Financial Disclosures
(TCFD). Work is already underway
assessing the risks and likely performance
of the Trust under a variety of climate
scenarios across short, medium and
longer timeframes.

Further together
Supporting the various stakeholder groups
in the communities where we operate is
fundamental for a business focused on
long-term relationships and sustainable
growth. Through our partnerships with
a range of charity organisations, we’re
able to make a real difference, where and
when it matters most.
The impact of COVID-19 has
intensified demand for the services
of many of these groups. The
Foundation has responded with an
increased contribution in the areas of
mental health, distribution of food and
essential goods, vulnerable people
and domestic violence.
How we help
The Goodman Foundation offers support to
charities within three key areas: Children
and youth, Community and community
health and Food rescue and environment.
Support can take the form of:
Cash grants — provided to fund identified projects
or needs over one to three years
Do good — Goodman team volunteering or fundraising
for charities
Give back — workplace giving schemes that match staff
contributions dollar for dollar
In-kind — donating our expertise, warehouse space
or other critical items

We support charity organisations
that are redistributing food
and other goods that would
otherwise go to waste.
Demand from social agencies for food
parcels has escalated rapidly as a
result of COVID-19 with the volume of
food being collected and distributed by
KiwiHarvest more than doubling during
the initial lockdown.
While food shortages caused real
hardship early in the pandemic, additional
contributions from new and existing
food donors have helped address the
increased levels of food insecurity in
our communities. These contributions
included over 0.66 million kgs of
local pork products being distributed
in conjunction with the Ministry of
Primary Industries.
www.kiwiharvest.org.nz
New Zealand Food
Network (NZFN)
The Foundation has also been proud to
support the New Zealand Food Network.
Established during the COVID-19
pandemic the organisation is facilitating
the efficient delivery of large volumes
of surplus food through a national
distribution network.
Supported by the Ministry of Social
Development, the creation of NZFN is
enhancing the work of those community
organisations already focused on
addressing food poverty in New Zealand.
In the first nine months of operation over
2 million kgs of food has been distributed
to foodbanks, food rescue and community
food services.
The new distribution facility for NZFN
is located at Highbrook Business Park
adjacent to the KiwiHarvest premises
on Underwood Street. The organisation
has taken a three-year lease over the
property with the Goodman Foundation
making a financial contribution toward
racking, warehouse equipment and office
fit out costs.
Greater supply chain co-ordination is
helping reduce the levels of nutritious
food going to waste, redirecting it to where
the need is greatest and contributing to
healthier communities – leading to better
social and environmental outcomes.

KiwiHarvest
The Goodman Foundation in New Zealand
is a founding supporter of KiwiHarvest,
a food rescue organisation that collects
nutritious but perishable food destined
for landfill. The rescued food is then
redistributed to community agencies for
those in need.
Founded by Deborah Manning in 2012,
and now with facilities in Auckland, the
North Shore, Dunedin and Queenstown,
the service collected and redistributed
2.2 million kgs of food over the 12 months
to 31 March 2021. Equivalent to over
6.2 million meals it included surplus
produce, protein, mislabelled goods
and grocery items approaching expiry,
the volume of food rescued was 83.3%
greater than the year before. It’s an
outstanding achievement only made
possible through the generosity of
sponsors and food donors, and the
tireless efforts of volunteers and staff.

New Zealand Heart Foundation
That’s How We Row was a fund-raising
initiative of Mark Taylor, a manager
with Dempsy Wood Civil Limited that
raised $100,000 for the New Zealand
Heart Foundation. The aim of the
event held at the Auckland Rowing
Club on 6 November 2020, was to
raise awareness of heart disease while
providing financial support for research
and specialist cardiologist training.
Despite living with physical disabilities
associated with a rare neurological
disorder, Mark set himself the challenge of
completing 100km on a rowing machine
in under eight hours. Others joined Mark
on the epic challenge including friends
and colleagues from the construction
and building industry. Goodman’s
team of rowers worked in relay and
completed the 100km in just 6 hours and
22 minutes. With donations, fundraising
and Goodman Foundation support the
team contributed around $10,000 of
the $100,000 that was raised.

Customer mix
GMT’s broad customer
base is dominated by
the warehousing and
distribution sectors
but it also includes
manufacturing
businesses.
Financial summary
A substantial portfolio revaluation has
contributed to a record $648.9 million
profit before tax.
The 17.3% increase in the value of the
Trust’s property portfolio, to almost
$3.8 billion, contributed $560.0 million
of fair value gains to this year’s statutory
profit. The uplift follows the 5.7% or
$165.8 million increase recorded in FY20.
The stronger revaluation result is the
main contributor to the 128.2% increase
in profit before tax, from $284.4 million
to $648.9 million. It also underpinned
the 23.0% increase in net tangible asset
backing to 212.5 cents per unit (on a fully
diluted basis).
The significant rise in property values
has been driven by record low interest
rates and positive investor demand
for high-quality warehouse and
logistics space across Auckland. The
attraction of the asset class is reflected
in the strengthening of the portfolio
capitalisation rate which has firmed
70 bps over the last 12 months to 4.7%.
Adjusting for these fair value gains and
other cash and non-cash items provides
the reconciliation between profit and
operating earnings.
Operating performance
Strong property market fundamentals
were reflected in high occupancy
levels, positive leasing results and new
development commitments over the last
12 months. Low gearing and substantial
liquidity have also allowed the Trust to
secure new investment opportunities,
acquiring properties neighbouring its
Savill Link and Mt Wellington industrial
estates for a total of $83.0 million.
The additional income from new
acquisitions and recently completed
developments, together with rental growth
from the investment portfolio have driven
the 5.3% increase in net rental income this
year, to $153.0 million.
Total expenses of $38.1 million were
7.0% higher than last year. A higher base
management fee, increased net interest
costs and higher administrative expenses
all contributed to the $2.5 million increase.
The revenue and expense items described
above result in operating earnings before
tax of $114.9 million, 4.7% higher than the
$109.7 million recorded in FY20. On a
weighted average unit basis, operating
earnings before tax were 8.26 cents per
unit and 6.86 cents per unit after tax.

A performance fee of $13.7 million was
also earned by the Manager this year.
The fee was earned as a result of the
carry forward amount reflecting GMT’s
very significant outperformance (on
a total return basis) against its listed
peers in FY20. The fee is excluded from
operating earnings as the Trust Deed
requires it to be reinvested into new units
in GMT, ensuring the interests of the
Manager remain well aligned with the
interests of other investors.
Balance sheet
Earlier asset sales and equity initiatives
have repositioned the Trust and
deleveraged the balance sheet. It has
been a successful strategy that has
provided GMT with the financial flexibility
to fund new investment opportunities.
The issue of $200 million of eight-year
and ten-year fixed interest rate bonds
to New Zealand wholesale investors in
September 2020 was a continuation
of this prudent approach. Achieved at
competitive margins the highly successful
issue adds further tenor and diversity
to the Trust’s debt book which now
includes bank borrowings, listed retail
bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private
Placement debt notes.
At 31 March 2021, the Trust had a loan to
value ratio of just 19.2% with committed
gearing of 22.5%. It’s a conservative level,
well below the 50% maximum allowed
under the Trust Deed and debt facility

GMT Bond Issuer Limited
GMT Bond Issuer Limited received
$20.8 million of interest income (FY20
$19.7 million) and incurred $20.8 million
of interest expense (FY20 $19.7 million).
The change in the interest income and
interest expense amounts from the
previous year reflects the $200 million
of wholesale bond issues in September
2020 and the maturity of the GMB020
Goodman+Bonds in December 2020.
S&P Global Ratings has maintained the
credit rating of all Goodman+Bonds at
BBB+. This is one notch higher than the
Trust’s investment grade issuer rating of
BBB as a result of the mortgage security
held over GMT’s property portfolio.
covenants. With only partially drawn debt
facilities the Trust retains $339 million of
funding capacity for future investment.
Taxation
A total tax expense of $17.2 million results
in an after-tax profit of $631.7 million, a
141.2% increase from the $261.9 million
recorded in FY20.
Tax on operating earnings reflects an
effective rate of 17.0%, compared to
17.5% previously.
Along with other commercial property
investors GMT is again able to claim tax
deductions for building depreciation.
Effective from 1 April 2020, the legislative
change has reduced the amount of tax
paid by the Trust.
Cash earnings and distributions
Cash earnings is a non-GAAP measure
that assesses free cash flow, on a per unit
basis, after adjusting for certain items.
The table above shows how the Trust’s
cash earnings are calculated and how this
compares to the distribution it pays.
Cash earnings of 6.40 cents per unit were
2.9% higher than the 6.22 cents achieved
in FY20. The increase is ahead of initial
market guidance of 6.20 cpu, which was
increased to 6.30 cpu in November 2020.
The increase reflects the stronger than
forecast performance of the portfolio with
only minor financial impacts resulting from
the COVID-19 pandemic.
From FY22 the cash earnings calculation
will be amended to remove the straight
line accounting treatment of fixed rental
increases. The change will better align
GMT’s cash earnings measure with
underlying cashflows.
Under the revised methodology GMT’s
FY21 cash earnings are restated at
6.28 cpu. Guidance for FY22 (on the
same basis) is for cash earnings of around
6.54 cpu, a 4% increase.
Cash distributions of 5.30 cents per unit
compare to 6.65 cents per unit previously.
The reduction, signalled at the beginning
of the year, reflects a revised payout
ratio of between 80% and 90% of cash
earnings.

Management is required to make judgements, estimates, and apply assumptions that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements. These have been based on historical
experience and other factors management believes to be reasonable. Actual results may
differ from these estimates and the difference may be material. Estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are

COVID-19 global pandemic
During the year ended 31 March 2021, New Zealand has been subject to four separate
restriction periods associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, with Auckland
being subject to greater restrictions than the balance of the country for the three most
recent periods (https://covid19.govt.nz/covid-19/alert-system/). The most significant
impact to the Group of the COVID-19 global pandemic was to the value of its
investment property, further details of which are disclosed in note 1.4.
In addition to the impact to investment property valuations, support has been
provided to customers impacted by COVID-19 in a range of manners including rent
abatements, rent deferrals and lease restructures. Targeting of the support to the
most impacted customers has resulted in there being no material impact on GMT’s
reported earnings for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The Group continues to monitor closely the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 to its
customers and to the New Zealand economy. The Group’s operations are being
managed conservatively and prudently in relation to potential impacts on GMT
resulting from COVID-19.

Included within stabilised properties is a gross-up equivalent to lease liabilities of $65.5 million (31 March 2020: $63.3 million).
GMT’s estates are classified as either “core” or “value-add” estates.
Core
Those estates within the portfolio which largely consist of modern, high-quality logistics and industrial properties.
Va l u e - ad d
Those estates which generally consist of older properties that are likely to have redevelopment potential. Redevelopment of the properties to realise their maximum future value may
require a change in use.
Significant transactions
In April 2020, GMT completed the acquisition of a value-add property at 7-8 Monahan Road, Mt Wellington for $13.0 million.
In September 2020, GMT completed the acquisition of value-add properties adjoining Savill Link, Ōtāhuhu for $70.0 million.
During the year ended 31 March 2021 seven developments were completed and were independently valued at a total of $127.0 million.
Subsequent event
In May 2021, GMT committed to the redevelopment of its Favona Road property in Māngere. The redevelopment will feature a 22,435 sqm logistics facility pre-leased to Mainfreight and a
10,770 sqm facility to be developed on a build-to-lease basis.

1.4 Valuation of investment property
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, from a panel of
valuation companies comprising Bayleys Valuations Limited, CBRE Limited, Colliers International New Zealand Limited, Jones Lang LaSalle Limited & Savills (NZ) Limited.
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 also 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 12.6 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.
The key valuation inputs used to measure fair value of investment property and investment property under development held at fair value are disclosed below, along with the weighted
average value for each input:

1.4 Valuation of investment property (continued)
The market capitalisation rate is the main determinant of value in the valuation of investment property. The impact of a 0.25% increase in the market capitalisation rate from 4.7% to 4.95%
would be equivalent to a decrease of $187.7 million / 5.0% in the fair value of investment property.
Land is valued based on recent comparable transactions, resulting in land values ranging between $232 psm and $1,150 psm for industrial land (2020: between $298 psm and $1,000 psm)
and $1,150 psm for office land (2020: $1,000 psm).
Impact of COVID-19 global pandemic to the fair value assessment of investment property
COVID-19 was declared a ‘Global Pandemic’ by the World Health Organisation on 12 March 2020. Alert Level 4 restrictions were imposed across New Zealand from 26 March 2020, with
market activity being impacted and the real estate market being effectively frozen until Alert Level 2 was reached on 14 May 2020.
At 31 March 2020, due to the Alert Level 4 restrictions in place at that time, the fair market value assessments of investment property prepared by independent valuers were reported on the
basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, with less certainty and a higher degree of caution attached to the valuations than would normally be the case. The independent valuers considered the
changes in the market and economic outlook created by COVID-19, which included valuers changing key assumptions in their valuation assessments including a reduction of market rental
assumptions, consideration for rental abatements to support customers impacted by COVID-19, a decrease in rental growth rates and an increase in the market capitalisation rate applied. All of
these items negatively impacted the 31 March 2020 fair market valuation which were assessed at a lower level than initial drafts prepared prior to the introduction of Alert Level 4 restrictions.
For the 30 September 2020 full valuations undertaken for GMT’s interim reporting, the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ for fair market value assessments of investment property no longer
applied and this continues to be the case as at 31 March 2021. Increased levels of certainty have returned to the investment market with improved confidence in the economic outlook. Real
estate investor confidence has been boosted by the current low interest rate environment. Greater certainty also exists for the key valuation inputs that impact valuations as detailed on the
preceding page.
The following table details the movement in fair value of investment property during the financial year split between the first half (six months to 30 September 2020) and the second half
(1 October 2020 to 31 March 2021). Comparative information is included below the table for the FY20 year, which shows that the fair value increase for the financial year occurred in the first half,
with a slight devaluation recorded in the second half which includes downward revisions for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
For leases where the Group is a lessee, the Group recognises a right of use asset at the commencement date of the lease, being the date the underlying asset is available for use. Investment
property is defined to include both owned investment property and investment property held by a lessee as a right of use asset. The Group therefore measures all investment property using
the same measurement basis, being the fair value model. The value of the right of use assets represents the fair value of a freehold interest in the land subject to ground lease interests held by
GMT. Investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to lease liabilities already recognised separately on the balance sheet and also reflected in the investment property valuations.

Included within investment property under development is $47.3 million of land held at fair value, $40.1 million of commenced developments held at the land transfer value plus
subsequent capital expenditure and $34.8 million of developments under construction recorded at fair value.
Accounting policies
Investment property under development includes properties that are being constructed for future use as stabilised property and land to be developed as stabilised property in the future.
On acquisition, investment property under development is recorded at cost, including related transaction costs. Stabilised property to be redeveloped is transferred at the carrying value prior to
transfer. All subsequent costs and capital expenditure directly associated with investment property under development is capitalised.
Holding costs are capitalised if they are directly attributable to the 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 expenditure and borrowing costs are being incurred. The amount capitalised is
determined by applying the weighted average cost of debt to borrowings attributed to the investment property under development. Capitalisation of borrowing costs continues 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.
Land is carried at fair value, independently valued at least annually, with any changes in valuation recognised in Profit or Loss.

As at 31 March 2021 $400.0 million of syndicated bank facilities was provided to the Trust by Commonwealth Bank of Australia ($115.0 million), Westpac New Zealand Limited ($115.0 million),
Bank of New Zealand ($90.0 million) and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited ($80.0 million).
As at 31 March 2020 $400.0 million of syndicated bank facilities was provided to the Trust by Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac New Zealand Limited (each providing
$120.0 million), Bank of New Zealand and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (each providing $80.0 million).
As at 31 March 2021, GMT’s drawn borrowings had a weighted average remaining term of 5.2 years (2020: 4.0 years), with 92% being drawn from non-bank sources (2020: 96%).
Calculation of the weighted average remaining term assumes bank debt utilises the longest dated facilities.
2.4 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.

The calculation of the lease liabilities assumes lease terms of between 65 and 68 years and utilises discount rates based on an assessment of GMT’s long-term borrowing costs at the time of
the renewal, which range from 3.7% to 5.5%.
Accounting policies
At the commencement date of a lease the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, including expected lease
renewals. The lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

Earnings per unit measures are calculated as profit or adjusted operating earnings 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. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be consistent with its calculation
by other similar entities.

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. 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 2021 of between 0.35% for the 90-day BKBM and 1.96% for the 10-year swap rate (2020: 0.49% for the 90-day
BKBM and 0.93% 10-year swap rate). There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the period.

Debtors and other assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. They are adjusted for expected impairment losses. Discounting is not applied to
receivables where collection is expected to occur within the next twelve months.
A provision for impairment is recognised when there is objective evidence that GMT will be unable to collect amounts due. The simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses
prescribed by NZ IFRS 9 has been applied, permitting the use of a lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The amount provided is the difference between the carrying amount
and expected recoverable amount.

8. Tax (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.

Derivative financial instruments(4.3)(4.6)
Borrowings issue costs(0.2)(0.2)
Total deferred tax liabilities(35.4)(31.9)
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.

Related party investment in GMT
At 31 March 2021, Goodman Group, GNZ’s ultimate parent, through its subsidiary Goodman Investment Holdings (NZ) Limited, held 297,975,387 units in GMT out of a total 1,391,227,995
units on issue (31 March 2020: 296,560,508 units out of a total 1,385,791,305 units).
9.3 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.
For the five years starting 1 April 2014, the Manager agreed to use its base management fee to reinvest in GMT units in accordance with terms approved by Unitholders on 5 August 2014.
This agreement expired on 31 March 2019, with the base management fee reverting to a cash settlement.
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.
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, provided that the Independent Directors of GNZ consider
it in the best interests of GMT unitholders for the Manager to do so. The issue price for these units is equal to the higher of market price and the net asset value per unit.
At 31 March 2021, a performance fee of $13.7 million is payable (2020: $11.4 million), with no carry forward to include in the calculation for future periods (2020: $89.5 million carry forward).

12. 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.
12 .1 Financial instruments
The following items in the Balance Sheet are classified as financial instruments: Cash, debtors and other assets, derivative financial instruments, creditors and other liabilities, lease 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.
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 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.
12.2 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.
$ million20212020
Impact to net profit after tax of a 25 basis point increase in interest rates(0.3)(0.4)
Impact to net profit after tax of a 25 basis point decrease in interest rates0.30.4
12.3 Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash, derivative financial instruments 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 customers the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer, considering 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, 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.

12.4 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.

12.5 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 retail bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes, 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.

12.6 Fair value of financial instruments
Except for the retail bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes; the carrying values of all balance sheet financial instruments approximate their estimated fair value. The fair

Retail bondsLevel 1320.1414.9
Wholesale bondsLevel 2179.8–
US Private Placement notesLevel 2US$120.5US$127.9
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 wholesale bonds 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.
13. 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.

Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying 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 2021, 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).
What we have audited
The Group’s financial statements comprise:
the balance sheet as at 31 March 2021;
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 general information and notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards)
(New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for 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, agreed upon procedures relating to the financial covenants of the
bank facilities and reporting to the supervisor of GMT Bond Issuer Limited. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.

Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. 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.
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment property
As disclosed in note 1, the portfolio of investment properties comprising Auckland industrial
stabilised properties and investment property under development held by the Group was
valued at $3.8 billion as at 31 March 2021.
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective. A small difference in any one of
the key market input assumptions, when aggregated, could result in a material misstatement
of the valuation of investment properties.
The valuations were carried out by independent registered valuers selected by the Group.
The valuers performed their work in accordance with the International Valuation Standards
and the Australia and New Zealand Valuation and Property Standards. The valuers used are
well-known firms, with experience in the market in which the Group operates.
In determining a property’s valuation, the valuers consider property specific information such
as current tenancy agreements and rental income earned by the asset.
They then apply assumptions in relation to market capitalisation rates, market rental and rental
growth rates, 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, as well as the qualities of the property as a whole.
As at 31 March 2021, the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ that was present in the valuations
as at 31 March 2020 due to COVID-19 no longer applies, and the valuations are no longer
reported on that basis.
Management verifies all key inputs to the valuations, assesses property valuation movements
against prior year and holds discussions with the directors of the Manager on the process and
results of the valuation.
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective given that there are
alternative assumptions and valuation methods that may result in a range of values.
We considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in note 1 to the financial
statements. This note explains that there is significant estimation uncertainty in
relation to the valuation of investment property. We discussed with management and
obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to demonstrate that management’s
assessment of the suitability of the inclusion of the valuation in the balance
sheet and disclosures made in the financial statements was appropriate.
In assessing the individual valuations, we performed the procedures outlined
below. We held discussions with management and the valuers to understand:
movements in the Group’s investment property portfolio,
changes in the conditions of properties within the portfolio,
the controls in place over the valuation process, and
the impact that COVID-19 has had on the Group’s investment
property portfolio, including any tenant rent abatements.
On a sample basis, with emphasis on properties with significant or unusual
fluctuations in key inputs compared to other investment properties
held by the Group, we performed the following procedures:
obtained an understanding of the key inputs in the valuation
agreed forecast contractual rental and lease terms to lease agreements with tenants
considered whether seismic assessments and/or capital maintenance requirements had
been taken into account in the valuations, with reference to supporting documentation.
We held separate discussions with each of the independent registered valuers to gain an
understanding of the assumptions and estimates used and the valuation methodology applied.
We also engaged our own valuation experts to critique and independently assess, based on
their market and valuation knowledge, the work performed, and assumptions and estimates
made by the valuers, on a sample basis. We found no evidence of bias in determining the values.

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $5,070,000, which represents approximately 5% of profit before tax excluding movements in the fair value of investment property and
financial instruments. We chose profit before tax excluding movements in the fair value of investment property and financial instruments as the benchmark because,
in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, a full scope audit was performed over the consolidated Group balances.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
Valuation of investment property
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. 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.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
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.
How we tailored our group audit scope
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.
Other information
The directors of the Manager are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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 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 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 intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have 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), the auditor exercises professional judgement and maintains professional scepticism throughout the audit.
The auditor also:
Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtains audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the auditor’s 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.
Obtains 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.
Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Concludes on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by those charged with governance 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 the auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, the auditor is
required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. The auditor’s
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluates the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtains sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial
statements. The auditor is responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. The auditor remains solely responsible for the audit opinion.
The auditor communicates with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that the auditor identifies during the audit.
The auditor also provides those charged with governance with a statement that the auditor has complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on the auditor’s independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the auditor determines those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the
current period and are therefore the key audit matters. The auditor describes these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, the auditor determines that a matter should not be communicated in the 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.

6 .1 Financial instruments
The following items in the Balance Sheet are classified as financial instruments: Advances to related parties, cash, interest receivable from related parties, borrowings and interest payable.
All items are recorded at amortised cost.
6.2 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.
6.3 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 cash and 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 S&P Global Ratings.
6.4 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 following table outlines the Company’s financial liabilities by their relevant contractual maturity date. Values are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and include both principal and
interest where applicable.

6.5 Capital management risk
The Company’s policy is to match the value, term and maturity of external borrowings to the value, term and maturity of advances made to related parties. This minimises capital management
risk for the Company.
6.6 Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments has been estimated as follows:

Related party receivablesLevel 2499.9414.9
Retail bondsLevel 1(320.1)(414.9)
Wholesale bondsLevel 2(179.8)–
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 wholesale bonds, classified as Level 2, is measured using a present value calculation of the future cashflows using the relevant term swap rate as the discount factor. The fair
value of related party receivables, classified as Level 2, is measured using the quoted prices of the retail bonds liability and the fair value of the wholesale bonds.
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.
7. Equity
As at 31 March 2021, 100 ordinary shares had been issued for nil consideration (2020: 100 ordinary shares for nil consideration). All shares rank equally with one vote attached to each share.
The Company has tangible assets of $0.1 million, and its net assets are nil. Consequently, the net tangible assets per bond at 31 March 2021 are nil (2020: nil).

Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying 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 2021,
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).
What we have audited
The financial statements comprise:
the balance sheet as at 31 March 2021;
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 general information and notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
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.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards)
(New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other services for the Company in the area of reporting to the supervisor. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Company.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. The entity obtains funds 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.
Our audit approach
Overview
Overall Company materiality: $208,000, which represents approximately 1% of interest expense.
We chose interest expense as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the Company is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally
accepted benchmark.
As noted earlier, 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.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made
subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. 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.

Statements

Issuer Limited
Independent auditor’s report (continued)
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
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.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
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.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information 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.
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), the auditor exercises professional judgement and maintains professional scepticism throughout the audit.
The auditor also:
Identifies and assesses the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designs and performs audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtains
audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for the auditor’s 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.
Obtains 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 entity’s internal control.
Evaluates the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

Independent auditor’s report (continued)
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited
Concludes on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of accounting by those charged with governance and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If the auditor concludes that a material uncertainty exists, the
auditor is required to draw attention in the auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. The auditor’s
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluates 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.
The auditor communicates with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that the auditor identifies during the audit.
The auditor also provides those charged with governance with a statement that the auditor has complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on the auditor’s independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the auditor determines those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. The auditor describes these matters in the auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare
circumstances, the auditor determines that a matter should not be communicated in the 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.

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 investors, regulators and the wider market.
The governance section of the Goodman Property Trust website contains all the relevant
policies, charters and other documents described in this report.
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 and
supervisor of GMT and is appointed to hold the assets of GMT on trust for Unitholders. 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, unsub-
ordinated, obligations of the issuer, ranking equally with debt owed to GMT’s main banking
syndicate. Public Trust is the Bond Trustee for Goodman+Bonds.
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.
Relationship with Goodman Group
Goodman Group is the Trust’s largest investor, owning approximately 21.4% of Units on issue at
31 March 2021.
It is also the Manager of the Trust through its wholly owned subsidiary, Goodman (NZ) Limited.
The Manager receives fees for the fund management, property services, development
management and other services it provides through Goodman (NZ) Limited and Goodman
Property Services (NZ) Limited. These fees are summarised on the website within the
corporate governance section.
Goodman Group’s cornerstone investment and management contract, which includes a market
leading performance fee structure, ensures close alignment of interests between Goodman
Group and other Unitholders.
Goodman Group holds no Goodman+Bonds.
NZX Corporate Governance Code
The following section assesses GMT’s corporate governance framework against the principles
and recommendations of the NZX Corporate Governance Code. A more detailed analysis
against the NZX Code is set out in the Corporate Governance Statement which can be found
in the governance section of the Goodman Property Trust website https://nz.goodman.com/
who-we-are/corporate-governance.
Principle 1 — Code of Ethical Behaviour
The highest standards of behaviour are expected from the Directors and employees of the
Manager. These expectations are formalised in the following policies, practices and processes.
Code of Conduct
This policy establishes the standards of ethical and personal conduct expected of Directors
and employees. It is consistent with the wider corporate values of the Manager and compliance
with the policy is a condition of employment. Induction training and regular refresher sessions
are provided.
The policy specifically requires Directors and employees to act with honesty and integrity in
a professional and respectful manner, respecting confidentiality and in accordance with the
law. All stakeholders are to be treated fairly and individuals are expected to be transparent,
declaring and managing any conflicts of interest.
All Directors and employees are responsible for reporting unethical or corrupt behaviour
and the Manager will take whatever disciplinary action it considers appropriate in the
circumstances, including dismissal.
Financial Products Trading Policy
This policy reflects the insider trading provisions of the 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 Chair prior to any trade.

Principle 2 — Board Composition & Performance
The Board works with Management to formulate and implement its strategy for the Trust,
monitoring its performance against set objectives. The Board also has the responsibility to
ensure business risks are appropriately identified and managed and that the statutory, financial
and social responsibilities of the Manager are complied with.
Board Charter
The Board Charter sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board, while a statement of
investment policies and objectives provides the strategic framework.
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.
A copy of the Board’s approved mandate and Board Charter can be found on the website within
the corporate governance section.
Board Composition
The Board of the Manager comprises seven Directors, with a majority being independent (as
defined in the Listing Rules). John Dakin, Gregory Goodman and Phil Pryke are not considered
independent due to their relationship with Goodman Group. The biographies of the Directors
can be found online at www.goodmanreport.co.nz.

Directors have an average tenure of 10 years at 31 March 2021. They are encouraged to
undertake training to ensure they have the market knowledge and governance expertise to
perform their roles and duties. Any new director receives a comprehensive induction that
includes a tour of the Trust’s assets.
All Directors are appointed for three-year terms, after which they are eligible for
reappointment
(1)
. Independent Directors are appointed by Unitholders in the manner
described in the Trust Deed. As the Manager is a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Group,
appointment of non-independent directors is made by Goodman Group.
The Board of GMT Bond Issuer Limited replicates the Board of the Manager. 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.
Both entities have written agreements with each Director setting out the terms and conditions
of their appointment.
Diversity and inclusion
As an externally managed Unit Trust, GMT does not have any employees. The Directors and
staff are employed through Goodman (NZ) Limited and Goodman Property Services (NZ)
Limited, subsidiaries of Goodman Group.
A diversity and inclusion policy, specific to NZ Directors and employees was adopted in 2018.
It recognises that an inclusive and diverse culture provides a greater variety of views and ideas
that lead to better business outcomes. Under this policy, the Manager undertakes to measure
gender, ethnicity and age on a regular basis and to report progress against future targets.
The table below shows the gender split between the various business segments and compares
this against the 2023 targets included in the diversity and inclusion policy.

Of the 58 staff that make up the business 44.8% are female. On average, a Goodman team
member has been with the business for 8.1 years and is approximately 40 years old. It’s a team
that includes 12 different ethnicities, with speakers of 14 different languages.

The Chair and the Chief Executive Officer
As recommended by the NZX Code, the roles of Chair and Chief Executive Officer are
separated. This separation avoids concentrations of influence and increases accountability.
Keith Smith is the Chair and John Dakin is the Chief Executive Officer of the Manager. John is
also an Executive Director of the Manager.
Board Meetings
The Board typically meets in person five times a year, with one of those meetings focused on
business planning and strategy.
During the financial year to 31 March 2021 all Directors attended each Board meeting they were
entitled to attend. The 100% attendance record was also maintained in the 2020 financial year.
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 Secretary
The company secretarial function is performed by Anton Shead, the Manager’s General
Counsel. Refer to www.goodmanreport.co.nz for Anton’s biography.
Principle 3 – Board Committees
The Board establishes committees to assist in the exercise of its functions and duties and to
ensure that all risks are effectively monitored and managed.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is a permanent committee which typically meets four times a year.
As at the date of this Report, the Audit Committee has a majority of Independent Directors
and comprises: Laurissa Cooney (Chair), Keith Smith, Leonie Freeman, David Gibson and
Phil Pryke. Phil Pryke is the only Director on the Audit Committee who is not independent.
All members of the Audit Committee are non-executive Directors.
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;
ensuring the Key Audit Partner (as defined in the Listing Rules) is changed every five years;
reviewing the financial statements of GMT and GMT Bond Issuer Limited and overseeing the
auditing of those financial statements;
reviewing and reporting to the Board on the appropriateness of GMT’s Financial Risk
Management policy;
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.
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.
GMT has not followed this recommendation during the financial year ended 31 March 2021,
as its external management structure means that these costs are borne by the Manager and a
Remuneration Committee is not required.
In the interests of transparency and good governance the Manager has disclosed 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 included under Principle 5 on page 107.
Nomination Committee
GMT’s Trust Deed gives Unitholders the right to nominate and appoint Independent Directors.
The Board, rather than a committee, manage the nomination and appointment process of any
new non-independent director. The Goodman Group Remuneration and Nomination Charter
applies to the extent relevant and should the Board decide to add a director (whether as the
result of a retirement or otherwise), then the Board may constitute a committee to consider that
appointment.
Other Committees
The Board may from time to time establish other committees for a specific purpose. The terms
of reference for each committee is agreed by the Board as part of the establishment process.
Examples include:
(a) Due Diligence Committee
The Board will establish a Due Diligence Committee to oversee and report to the Board on
any transaction of a significant size and/or complexity.
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.
(b) Appointments Committee
The Board will, when it considers appropriate, constitute an Appointments 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.
Takeover protocol
The Board has approved a Takeover Response Manual, which establishes the procedure to be
followed if there is a takeover offer, including the establishment of an independent committee to
manage the response obligations.

Principle 4 — Reporting & Disclosure
A fully informed and efficient market builds investor confidence which ultimately contributes to
the investment performance of the Trust and its ability to raise capital.
The Manager is committed to keeping Unitholders, regulators and other stakeholders fully and
promptly informed of all material information. The Manager has policies and procedures that
govern the behaviour of the Directors and employees ensuring balanced and timely information
is provided to the market.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
The Manager has a Continuous Disclosure Policy which details the relevant legal requirements
and sets out the procedures put in place to ensure compliance with them.
Related Party Policy
The Manager believes that having a Board with a majority of experienced and strong
Independent Directors, effectively manages any related party issues or conflicts that could
arise with an external management structure.
A comprehensive Related Party Policy 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.
Other reporting
The Manager has extended GMT’s corporate reporting in recent years to provide a broader
overview of the business, explaining how the Trust creates long-term value for all its
stakeholders. It includes additional information about the Managers own-develop-manage
business model, the current investment strategy and achievements in the sustainability
programme.
Fourteen factors were identified as key drivers of the Trust’s success in a materiality survey
undertaken with a representative group of stakeholders in FY21. The seven most important
included, customer attraction and retention, sustainable structure, operations and results,
health, safety and wellbeing, flexible and adaptable properties, diversity and inclusiveness,
sustainable design and management, and responsible investment. These seven areas are the
focus of GMT’s corporate reporting.

Principle 5 — Remuneration
GMT’s external management structure means that the Trust does not have any Directors or
employees of its own.
The remuneration of the Directors and employees are direct costs of Goodman (NZ) Limited
and Goodman Property Services (NZ) Limited respectively. The expense is a cost of managing
GMT, a service for which these entities receive fees. For these reasons, during the financial
year ended 31 March 2021, GMT cannot comply with the NZX Code recommendations for
issuers to have a remuneration policy and to recommend Director remuneration to unitholders
for approval as those recommendations have no application to a Unit Trust such as GMT which
has no Directors and no employees.
A breakdown of the fees paid by GMT in FY21 is provided in Note 9 of the Financial Statements,
page 80.
In the interests of transparency and good governance the Manager has disclosed 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
detail is provided with the consent of the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer.

Chief Executive Officer and employee remuneration
The remuneration of the CEO and other employees is designed to attract and retain the most
talented and effective individuals. Packages include a base salary, together with short-term and
long-term incentive components.
A summary of key remuneration principles 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

Principle 6 — Risk Management
The Manager maintains a risk management framework for GMT that includes regular reporting
to both the Audit Committee and the Board and the undertaking of an annual risk assessment
f o r G M T.
The Board has the overall responsibility for ensuring that risk is managed effectively. This
includes consideration of all strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks. The Audit
Committee reviews the effectiveness of the risk management process.
Risk register
The register identifies the material risks to the business, assessing the impact and likelihood
of each risk along with the steps taken to mitigate possible adverse impacts. Customer,
environmental, financial, human, health and safety, regulatory and reputational impacts are
all considered.
The Manager’s business risk function facilitates the annual review of the risk register in
conjunction with senior management. Existing risks are reassessed, and new risks considered
during the review.
Financial risk management policy
The policy reflects the Board’s approach to managing financial risks. It includes policies,
controls relating to:
Liquidity risk
Interest rate risk
Foreign exchange risk
Counterparty credit risk
Operational risk
This policy is reviewed by the Board annually.
Health and Safety
The health, safety and wellbeing of employees, customers, contractors and the wider
community is a business priority.
Since the introduction of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 the Manager has worked
closely with staff and contractors to develop a culture of greater safety awareness. The
emphasis on proper processes, vigilance and personal responsibility is consistent with the aim
of being free of serious harm accidents.
Detailed reporting, including trend analysis, is provided to the Board on a regular basis and
used to identify and mitigate future health and safety risks.
There were no serious harm accidents recorded in the last financial year.
Principle 7 — Auditors
The Audit Committee ensures the quality and independence of the external audit process.
The Committee ensures the annual audit is carried our independently and without impairment
maintaining the credibility and reliability of the Trust’s financial reporting.
Annual meeting attendance
The Manager also requires the external auditors to attend the annual meeting to answer
Unitholders’ questions about the conduct of the audit, as well as the preparation and content of
the independent auditor’s report.
Internal audit
The Audit Committee approves the annual internal audit programme. The scope of the internal
audit programme varies from year to year depending on the outcome of the risk assessment
review described in Principle 6.
The service is performed by Goodman Group with its engagement approved by the Trust’s
supervisor and the Independent Directors.
Principle 8 — Unitholder Rights & Relations
The Board and Manager encourage investor engagement and facilitate this through regular
communication and meeting opportunities. The Manager’s investor relations resource is
responsible for delivering this programme. It typically includes:
An annual meeting
Investor open days
Periodic newsletters
Annual reports
Live webcasts of the interim and annual result presentations
Regular institutional investor and analyst meetings

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 2021.
GMT
On 6 May 2019, NZX granted GMT waivers from various Listing Rules, set out below. GMT was
granted waivers by the NZX from the equivalent provisions of the Listing Rules, which applied
before 1 January 2020, in decisions dated 21 April 2005 and 18 October 2010.
1. NZX granted GMT waivers from various governance requirements in Listing Rules 2.2,
2.3, 2.4, 2.7 and 2.8 to the extent that these rules would apply to GMT’s non-Independent
Directors. As GMT is a managed investment scheme, the governance requirements and
processes to be followed by issuers of Equity Securities (in receiving nominations and the
appointment and duration of that appointment of a Director), are not readily applicable to
GMT’s governance structure. The effect of the waivers from Listing Rules 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7
and 2.8 is that the governance processes of the Board of the Manager remains consistent
with how it was governed before the waivers were granted. The waivers from Listing Rules
2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.7 and 2.8 have been granted on the condition that GMT complies with those
Listing Rules in respect of the Manager’s Independent Directors, and GMT having a Non
Standard (NS) designation in accordance with Listing Rule 1.18.1.
2. NZX granted GMT a waiver from Listing Rule 2.10 to the extent that Directors of the
Manager are “interested” in transactions that the Manager is entering for the purposes
of the day-to-day management of GMT, solely due to those Directors being a Director of
the Manager. Without this waiver, the Directors of the Manager could be deemed to be
“interested” in every decision relating to the investments by GMT due to the relationship
between the Manager, GMT and Unitholders, with the Directors therefore unable to vote
on these decisions. The waiver from Listing Rule 2.10 has been granted on the condition
that any Director abstain from voting on any transactions entered into by the Manager on
behalf of GMT with another entity in respect of which the Director would be otherwise
“interested”.
3. NZX granted GMT a waiver from Listing Rules 2.11 and 2.12. The effect of the waivers from
Listing Rules 2.11 and 2.12 is that the remuneration of the Directors of the Manager is not
required to be approved by Unitholders, as the remuneration is paid out of the fees the
Manager is entitled to in relation to its role as manager of GMT under the Trust Deed, and
which has been approved by Unitholders. The waivers from Listing Rules 2.11 and 2.12 are
granted on the following conditions:
(a) all of the Manager’s Directors’ remuneration is paid directly from the income of the
Manager;
(b) the income of GMT cannot directly be applied in satisfaction of Directors’
remuneration; and
(c) the Manager discloses in its annual report the income it has earned in respect of its
management of GMT for the prior financial year.
4. NZX granted GMT a waiver from Listing Rule 2.20.1(a)(i) to the extent that this rule
requires Rules 2.2.1 and 2.8.1 to be incorporated by reference into the Trust Deed of GMT,
which GMT has been granted waivers from, discussed above. The effect of this waiver
is to ensure there is consistency between the waivers granted and the contents of the
Trust Deed.
5. NZX granted GMT a waiver from Listing Rule 4.2.2 permitting the issue of Units (on a
perpetual basis) to the Manager as consideration for the Manager’s performance fee
(“Performance Fee Units”) under the terms of the Trust Deed, without the annual approval
of Unitholders. The waiver from Listing Rule 4.2.2 has been granted on the following
conditions:
(a) that any Performance Fee Units would be issued to the Manager in accordance with
the terms of the Trust Deed, as approved by Unitholders at GMT’s annual meeting on
2 August 2011;
(b) the terms and effect of this waiver are disclosed in any Offering Document
distributed or registered in respect of an offer of Units during the period in which this
waiver is relied upon; and
(c) the number and price of Performance Fee Units issued to the Manager is disclosed in
each annual report during the period in which those Units are issued.

Summary of recent Trust Deed amendments
During the period from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021, GMT’s Trust Deed was amended by
supplemental deed dated 28 May 2020. The amendments to the Trust Deed, as approved
by the Manager and the Supervisor, were made to rectify the inconsistencies identified in the
explanatory memorandum to approve matters including amendments to the performance fee
clauses in the Trust Deed, particularly the “Unitholder Return” and “Benchmark Index” (being
the peer performance comparison for the determination of the performance fee) not being
calculated on a like-for-like basis, as well as other minor amendments for consistency.
A copy of the supplemental deed which amended GMT’s Trust Deed is available on
the Corporate Governance section of the Goodman Property Trust Website at
www.goodman.com/nz. It is also available on the Disclose Register accessible on
the Companies Office website (https://www.companiesoffice.govt.nz/disclose).

Result overview
Strong cashflow growth, driven by ongoing leasing success, and continued development
progress have supported significant portfolio revaluations and contributed to the record
profit growth (before tax) of $648.9 million.
Keith Smith, Chairman of Goodman (NZ) Limited said, "We’re extremely pleased with the
performance of the Trust over the last 12 months. We’ve achieved our operational targets
and progressed new capital management and sustainability initiatives that make GMT an
even more resilient business”.
The pandemic has highlighted the important role that warehouse and logistics property has
in the national supply chain. It is critical business infrastructure that is also supporting the
rapid growth of New Zealand’s digital economy.

is set out in note 2.6 of GMT’s financial statements.

Chief Executive Officer, John Dakin said, “E-commerce is emerging as an important
demand driver for our portfolio. With its urban logistics focus, the Trust is benefitting from
the growing demand for distribution facilities close to consumers.”
These structural trends are reflected in GMT’s strong leasing results, contributing to the
2.9% increase in cash earnings to 6.40 cents per unit.
With the risks of COVID-19 in New Zealand being contained, the economic outlook has
improved. Guidance for FY22 reflects a 4% increase in cash earnings and a corresponding
increase in cash distributions to at least 5.5 cents per unit.

2021. A copy of the report, which was released today, has been provided to the NZX and

Sustainable growth
A sustainable operating model is essential if an organisation is to be successful over the
long-term.
John Dakin said, “This year we have increased our efforts and made new commitments in
key areas, including environmental sustainability. Becoming Toitū carbonzero certified
means the business is now proudly carbon neutral, four years ahead of schedule.”
A detailed carbon reduction and management plan will guide the business toward its
targeted 19% reduction in absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.
John Dakin said, “Our commitment to reducing climate change impacts has been extended
to the Trust’s development programme where we are aiming for a five-star Green Star
rating on all new developments. We will also offset the embodied carbon within these new
projects.”
The Trust completed seven development projects during the year (total value $125 million)
and commenced four new projects (total project cost of $132.0 million). The most
significant of these new projects is the redevelopment of Roma Road Estate in Mt Roskill,
anchored by New Zealand Post.
John Dakin said, “Companies have gained confidence in the operating environment as the
year has progressed and are once again considering their future space requirements.”
The Trust has confirmed another new development project today, with Favona Estate in
Māngere to be extensively redeveloped. The project, which includes two new warehouses,
adds to GMT’s current development workbook which now totals $250.1 million of active
projects.
Mainfreight has committed to the larger 22,435 sqm facility at Favona Estate, with the
second warehouse being developed on a build to-lease basis.
John Dakin said, “The unique demand drivers created by a growing online marketplace are
supporting a renewed level of development activity.”
GMT continues to target new investment opportunities for development.
The acquisition of properties neighbouring the Trust’s Savill Link and Mt Wellington
industrial estates was consistent with this strategy. Purchased in the first half of the
financial year for $83 million, the properties have a combined land area of 14.5 hectares.
Financial flexibility
John Dakin said, “A well-capitalised balance sheet, with substantial reserves has enabled
GMT to take advantage of these new opportunities. With a loan to value ratio of 19.2% and
only partially drawn debt facilities the Trust retains $339 million of funding capacity for
future investment.”
Asset sales and equity issuance in previous years have significantly deleveraged the
Trust, while new debt issues have diversified its sources of funding. The Board has
continued this prudent approach by reducing GMT’s preferred gearing range to between
20% and 30%.
3
Keith Smith said, “These measures, together with refinements to the distribution policy
support the creation of a high-quality, low risk property business focused on sustainable
long-term growth.”
Looking ahead
By delivering a strong operating performance in a year disrupted by COVID-19, GMT has
shown that it is a robust and resilient property business.
GMT’s high-quality portfolio focused on urban logistics should continue to benefit from the
structural trends that are driving demand for distribution facilities close to consumers.
While economic and pandemic risks remain, the quality, scale and location of the portfolio,
together with low gearing and focused investment strategy gives the Board and
Management confidence that the Trust remains well positioned into FY22.
