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:

„Net property income of $153.0  million

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.

Waterview Tunnel

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.

Management report (continued)
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.

The new issues add further tenor and

now includes bank borrowings, listed retail

GMT’s bank facilities were also refinanced

during the year, with the first bank debt

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.

environment, a small number, typically
retail and hospitality businesses, have

experienced significant hardship as

a result of COVID-19. As a long-term

business partner, the Trust has supported

these more vulnerable customers. This

assistance has included rent abatements,

rent deferrals, rent freezes, lease

restructures and marketing support.

E-commerce

Consumers have responded to the risks of

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

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.

The specialist carrier,

Pukekiwiriki Place.

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.

specific benefits  unique to that location,

examples of these include;

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.

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.

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

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.

Diversity

and inclusion

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 health, safety and wellbeing of our
people, our customers, our contractors,

and the wider community has always

been our priority.

A detailed policy governs our approach

and ensures our obligations under the

Health and Safety at Work Act 2015

are complied with every day. Extensive

staff training and contractor induction

programmes together with comprehensive

safety procedures and work practices

help create a culture where individuals are

empowered to identify, report, and actively

prevent harm from occurring.

We are committed to creating a safe

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

differences and have

a comprehensive

inclusion and diversity

policy that sets

goals across gender,

ethnicity and age.

The principles of this policy:

„promote a culture of inclusion that

values and respects individual

differences and is free of harassment,

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.

Page 105 includes more detail  about

the diversity targets we have set to

broaden representation across our

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.

Our  workplaces provide high levels  of

amenity in locations that also  offer

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

team contributed around $10,000 of

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.

information

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.

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.

Accounting policies

Property income from investment property leased to customers under operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the extent that future rental increases

are known with certainty. Fixed rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line income recognition. Where lease incentives are provided to customers, the cost of incentives is

recognised over the lease term on a straight-line basis as a reduction to rental income.

Service charge income is recognised for the recoverable portion of customer’s property operating expenses incurred in the accounting period.

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.

Key judgement

The lease liabilities are for perpetually renewable ground leases at Westney Industry Park for $65.3 million (2020: $63.1 million) and The Gate Industry Park for $0.2 million (2020: $0.2 million).

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.

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.

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.

Capital transactions

Capital transactions that occur with related parties can only be approved by the independent directors of GNZ, with non-independent directors excluded from the approval process.

No properties were acquired pursuant to the Co-ownership Agreement between GMT and Goodman Industrial Trust (2020: none). This agreement was approved by unitholders at a general

meeting held on 23 March 2004.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, GMT purchased land at Savill Link for $0.9 million that was co-owned via the Co-ownership Agreement between GMT and Goodman Industrial Trust.

Key management personnel

Key management personnel are those people with the responsibility and authority for planning, directing and controlling the activities of an entity. As the Trust does not have any employees

or Directors, key management personnel is considered to be the Manager. All compensation paid to the Manager is disclosed within this note.

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

values of retail bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes are as follows:

$ millionFair value hierarchy2021202 0

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.

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.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 March 2021

6. Financial risk management (continued)

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:

$ millionFair value hierarchy2021202 0

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).

Financial

Statements

of GMT Bond

Issuer Limited

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.

GMT Bond

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:

ƒmonitoring the independence, ability and objectivity of the external auditor;

ƒensuring the Key Audit Partner (as defined in the Listing Rules) is changed every five years;

ƒreviewing the financial statements of GMT and GMT Bond Issuer Limited and overseeing the

auditing of those financial statements;

ƒreviewing and reporting to the Board on the appropriateness of GMT’s Financial Risk

Management policy;

ƒsetting the parameters for the internal audit programme, overseeing its implementation and

reviewing its outputs and recommendations; and

ƒoverseeing 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:

ƒManagement 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

ƒUnitholders 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.

Access to key governance documents

The governance section of the website, https://nz.goodman.com/who-we-are/corporate-

Deeds).

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:

ƒthe basis of remuneration is local market referenced base salary, reviewed annually;

ƒemployees 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;

ƒall employees can participate equally in two long term incentive plans designed to maximise

long-term alignment with Unitholders of GMT (“NZ LTIP”) and Securityholders of Goodman

Group (“Goodman Group LTIP”);

ƒthe NZ LTIP, performance rights are issued which give employees the right to acquire, for nil

consideration, Goodman Property Trust units subject to the satisfaction of hurdles assessed

over specific three-year testing period timeframes. GMT units awarded are sourced from units

held by Goodman Group or purchased on market by Goodman Group or can be cashed out at

the option of Goodman Group. GMT does not issue any new units in relation to the NZ LTIP;

ƒunder the Goodman Group LTIP, performance rights are issued which give employees the

right to acquire, for nil consideration, stapled securities of Goodman Group subject to the

satisfaction of hurdles assessed over specific three-year testing period timeframes; and

ƒfor both LTIP schemes, an employee is required to remain employed for a five-year period

from the initial granting to be eligible to receive all the awards that meet performance hurdles.

Employees automatically receive life insurance cover and salary continuance insurance and

for those that are participating, KiwiSaver contributions of 3% are made in addition to salary

payments. Dependent on role, employees may receive the use of a company vehicle and may

have a workplace carpark provide.

The remuneration of the CEO, including the nature and amount of each major element, is shown

below. All amounts are in New  Zealand dollars.

ended 31 March 2021 the ratio between the average base salary paid to an employee and the

Chief Executive Officer was 1 to 3.8.

units with a market value of $7.5 million on the date of vesting. The Goodman Group LTIP

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:

ƒLiquidity risk

ƒInterest rate risk

ƒForeign exchange risk

ƒCounterparty credit risk

ƒOperational 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:

ƒAn annual meeting

ƒInvestor open days

ƒPeriodic newsletters

ƒAnnual reports

ƒLive webcasts of the interim and annual result presentations

ƒRegular institutional investor and analyst meetings

ƒNational road show presentations

ƒInvestor briefings

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.

Operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure included to provide an assessment of the performance of GMT’s

principal operating activities. Calculation of operating earnings are as set out in GMT’s Profit or Loss statement.


2

Cash earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that assesses underlying cashflows, on a per unit basis, after adjusting

for certain items. The calculation is set out on page 54 of GMT’s Annual Report 2021.

3

Loan to value ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used to assess the strength of GMT’s balance sheet. The calculation

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.
