YEAR IN REVIEW
A 4.7% reduction in the fair value of its property portfolio, as a result of independent
valuations at 31 March 2023, is the principal driver of GMT’s statutory loss.
Keith Smith, Chair of Goodman (NZ) Limited said, “While rising interest rates have impacted
investment yields, GMT’s underlying portfolio fundamentals remain strong and it continues to
deliver robust operating results.”

High occupancy levels, sustained rental growth, new development completions and strategic
acquisitions have all contributed to a 6.9% increase in operating earnings, to $126.5 million
before tax.
Chief Executive Officer, James Spence said, “GMT’s operating performance demonstrates
the resilience of the business and the benefits of an investment strategy exclusively focused
on the Auckland industrial market.
Cash earnings of 7.1 cents per unit was 6.6% ahead of last year and almost 3% higher than
our original guidance.”
With limited new supply and high barriers to entry, the key structural trends that are driving
customer demand for more productive and sustainable warehouse and logistics facilities are
expected to support another strong operating result in FY24.
Keith Smith said, “Guidance for FY24 includes a 4% increase in cash earnings to around 7.4
cents per unit with a 5% increase in cash distributions to approximately 6.2 cents per unit.”

ATTRACTING PREMIUM RENTALS
James Spence said, “The Auckland industrial market is highly constrained, with almost zero
vacancy for prime space. It is a real estate sector that has recorded double-digit rental
growth over the last 12 months, with demand for space exceeding supply in many locations
across the city.”
Demographic changes, regional growth, customer sustainability targets, and the
requirements of e-commerce have all driven the increase in demand for well-located and
operationally efficient warehouse and logistics property.
Customers are also seeking to improve supply chain resilience by driving greater productivity
and value from their facilities.
James Spence said, “The positive demand dynamic is reflected in our own leasing results,
with high occupancy levels being maintained and new rental benchmarks being achieved for
prime warehouse space within the portfolio.”
The level of under-renting (the difference between contract and market rentals) is also
growing. The potential reversion to market is assessed by valuers as 25%, at 31 March
2023.
James Spence said, “The benefits of this under-renting will be realised over time, as contract
rents are reviewed to market and new leases are secured at the higher rates.”
WORLD CLASS DEVELOPMENT
The strength of new leasing demand is also reflected in the volume of development work in
progress, with $461.6 million of active projects.
The current workbook is around 95% pre-committed, with an average lease term of more
than 12 years. It will add over 110,000 sqm high-quality urban logistics space to the portfolio
over the next 18 months.
James Spence said, “Over 90% of the current projects are being constructed on brownfield
sites and we are targeting an industry leading 5 Green Star Built rating for these
developments. The redevelopment and intensification of these properties is fully aligned
with our sustainability and circularity commitments.”
The use of lower carbon building materials is reducing the intensity of development
emissions
5
by an average of 13.8% on current projects and most demolition and
construction waste is being either recycled or repurposed.

Independent assessment of building only, upfront embodied carbon (A1-A5) compared to a similar sized reference building.
3
The focus on sustainable development supported GMT’s first Green Bond issue ($150
million) and the establishment of Green Loan facilities totalling $300 million during the year.
At 31 March 2023, GMT had a loan to value ratio of 25.9% and committed gearing of
29.1%. Low gearing and only partly drawn bank facilities provide over $700 million of
available liquidity.
Keith Smith said, “Prudent financial management has enabled GMT to grow sustainably. A
well-capitalised balance sheet adds resilience to the business and provides the funding
capacity to take advantage of new investment and development opportunities that may
arise.”
SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME
Progressing new sustainability initiatives that improve the environmental performance of the
business have continued to be a priority.
James Spence said, “Toitū carbonzero certification for our business operations and an
improved CDP climate score of A- demonstrate further progress toward our sustainability
commitments. Acknowledging that there is more work to do, we have reviewed our 2025
targets and added new objectives for 2030.”
These operational emission reduction targets are consistent with the objectives of the Paris
Agreement and the limiting of global warming to less than 1.5 degrees.
James Spence said, “To meet the growing demand for sustainable warehouse and logistics
facilities we have also continued to invest in energy efficiency, water conservation and
biodiversity projects that improve the operational and environmental performance of the
stabilised portfolio.”
FUTURE FOCUSED
GMT has delivered a robust operating performance over the last 12 months, with sustained
customer demand contributing to significant revenue and earnings growth. The same
business drivers are expected to support further strong operating results in FY24, with
forecast cash earnings of 7.4 cents per unit and cash distributions of around 6.2 cents per
unit.
The longer-term outlook is more uncertain with a variety of downside risks likely to constrain
economic activity.
By remaining agile and adapting to the changing operating environment, the Trust will
continue to benefit from the structural trends that are driving customer demand for
sustainable warehouse and logistics space.

GMT’s $4.8 billion urban logistics portfolio provides
essential supply chain infrastructure, facilitating the
efficient storage and distribution of goods and materials.
The strength of GMT’s FY23 operating results
demonstrates the resilience of the business and
the benefits of an investment strategy exclusively
focused on the Auckland industrial market.
We have remained disciplined in the
execution of this strategy, adapting to
the moderating economic environment
while continuing to build a responsible
and sustainable business.
Strong leasing demand for well-
located, warehouse and logistics space
has ensured earnings targets were
achieved, while new sustainability and
capital management initiatives have
strengthened the Trust and reaffirmed
our commitment to a low carbon future.
Goodman continues to invest in its
people, and has provided additional
support to its community partners to help
address the impacts of recent extreme
weather events.
Year in review
GMT’s property portfolio has continued
to deliver strong revenue growth. High
occupancy levels, growing rental rates,
new development completions and
strategic acquisitions have all contributed
to the 6.9% increase in operating earnings
before tax, to $126.5 million.
There has been a corresponding 6.6%
increase in cash earnings to $99.6 million
or 7.1 cents per unit. Cash earnings is our
preferred measure of underlying operating
performance, and the increase is almost
3% higher than our original guidance for
the year. A further 4% increase to around
7.4 cents per unit is expected for FY24.
Cash distributions relating to FY23 have
increased 7.3% to 5.9 cents per unit.
A further 5% increase to around 6.2 cents
per unit is forecast for FY24.

Chair's Report
Valuation impacts
While the operating performance of the
Trust has been extremely pleasing, a
$237.7 million or 4.7% reduction in the
fair value of its property assets (following
independent valuations) has resulted in a
statutory loss of $135.4 million after tax.
The valuation movement is also the main
contributor to the 5.9% reduction in net
tangible assets, to 245.2 cents per unit.
After a long period of sustained value
growth, rising interest rates have negatively
impacted real estate investment yields.
The quality of the Trust’s property assets
and the continued strong rental growth
being achieved, has significantly reduced
the valuation impacts of increased
capitalisation rates.
Strong leasing demand for well-located
warehouse and logistics space has ensured
earnings targets were achieved while new
sustainability and capital management initiatives
have strengthened the Trust and reaffirmed
our commitment to a low carbon future.

Building resilience
A sustainable operating model is essential
for an organisation to be successful over
the long-term and we have continued to
prioritise initiatives that mitigate impacts
for the environment and communities
where we operate, as well as positioning
ourselves for future opportunity.
Toitū carbonzero certification for our
business operations and a CDP climate
score of A- demonstrate further progress
toward our sustainability commitments.
The leadership rating from CDP is the
equal highest score of a local organisation
and represents the second consecutive
year of improved results for our business.
Acknowledging that there is more work to
do, we have reviewed our current Emissions
Reduction and Management Plan and set
longer dated objectives for 2030. These
operational emission reduction targets
are consistent with the objectives of the
Paris Agreement and the limiting of global
warming to less than 1.5 degrees.
We are also measuring and reporting
non-mandatory Category 4 emissions
associated with our development
programme, to better understand the
wider impact of our business activities.
We are collaborating with consultants,
contractors, and suppliers on these
projects to deliver lower emission, more
resource efficient and resilient buildings.
The completion of New Zealand’s first
6 Green Star Design

rated industrial
facilities at Highbrook Business Park
is consistent with these sustainable
development goals.
The achievement has been complemented
by treasury initiatives that add diversity
and capacity to the Trust’s debt book.
The issue of $150 million of Green Bonds
and establishment of Green Loan facilities
totalling $300 million supports further
investment and development activity,
aligning new funding with sustainable
property solutions for our customers.

YEAR IN REVIEW
Chair's Report
Independent Director and this is likely to
be my last annual report as Chair.
It has been a privilege to have led the
Board over the last 13 years and I’m
extremely proud of everything that
has been achieved. GMT has been
successfully repositioned as an urban
logistics specialist and is now well
established as New Zealand’s leading
property investment entity.
Stepping ahead
A high-quality property portfolio, robust
capital structure and a sustainable growth
strategy provide the stability and resilience
needed for a more challenging operating
environment.
By remaining disciplined with our
investment decisions and staying focused
on our customer relationships, the
Trust should continue to benefit from
the positive demand dynamic that is
supporting high occupancy levels and
sustained rental growth.
Progressing new sustainability initiatives
and reducing the carbon emissions of our
business activities will also continue to be
a key focus. Achieving these milestones
is expected to contribute to long term
value creation for all our stakeholders.
Working together
Together, the Board and Management
Team have welcomed James Spence as
the new Chief Executive Officer.
After almost 20 years leading our highly
successful business, John Dakin stepped
down as Chief Executive Officer on
31 December 2022. We are delighted
that he is continuing as a director of the
Manager, and as a senior executive within
the wider Goodman Group.
The Board endorsed James’s appointment
and believe his experience within
Goodman’s global fund management
business and as Director of Investment
Management for GMT over the last five
years, provides continuity of leadership
that is of real benefit to our stakeholders.
As CEO, James leads a dedicated team
of 69. They are all capable individuals
who are committed to the delivery of our
business strategy. Results from a recent
internal survey shows that it is an inclusive
and diverse workplace, with highly
engaged people.
Strategies to broaden representation
across the business have delivered
positive results, although with a stable
team it has been a graduated change.
Recent updates to the existing Inclusion
and Diversity policy have reaffirmed these
commitments with new targets for 2030.
As announced at last year’s annual
meeting this will be my final term as an

While a slowing economy has created headwinds,
the key structural trends that are driving customer
demand for space have continued to support
GMT’s strong operating results.
The creation of a high quality, low risk property business
focused on sustainable long-term growth is the strategic
objective that guides our investment decision making.
With a $4.8 billion warehouse and
logistics portfolio exclusively invested in
Auckland’s urban logistics market, GMT
provides essential business infrastructure
for customers requiring sustainable
distribution facilities close to consumers.
It is a real estate sector that has recorded
double-digit growth in market rentals
over the last 12 months, with demand for
space exceeding supply in many locations
across the city. The positive demand
dynamic is mirrored in our leasing results.
It is also reflected in a heightened level
of development activity, with projects
totalling over 110,000 sqm currently
under construction.
While a slowing economy has created
headwinds, the key structural trends that
are driving customer demand for space

Attracting premium rents
The Auckland industrial market is highly
constrained, with almost zero vacancy
for prime space. Demographic changes,
regional growth, customer sustainability
targets, and the unique requirements of
e-commerce have all driven the increase in
demand for well-located and operationally
efficient urban logistics property.
Customers are also seeking to improve
supply chain resilience by driving
greater productivity and value from their
warehouse and logistics facilities.
The benefits of the Trust’s urban
logistics portfolio and the strength of our
customer relationships is reflected in the
212,486 sqm of leasing transactions
completed since 31 March 2022.
Representing almost 20% of the stabilised
portfolio, new leasing has contributed to
like-for-like net property income growth
1
of
5.3% over the year. It has also established
new rental benchmarks within the portfolio.
The level of under-renting (the difference
between contract and market rentals) is
also growing. The potential reversion to
market is assessed by valuers as 25%,
at 31 March 2023. The benefits of this
reversion will be realised over time, as
contract rents are reviewed to market and
new leases are secured at the higher rates.
Customers are also seeking to improve supply chain

Management report
The redevelopment and intensification
of these sites is fully aligned with our
sustainability and circularity commitments.
The recovery of valuable resources in
the deconstruction phase and the use
of alternative building materials and
construction systems, contribute to lower
emissions in the development process.
Residual embodied carbon is also
independently verified and offset with
carbon credits following completion of
new projects.
Green funding
Prudent financial management has
enabled GMT to grow sustainably.
A well-capitalised balance sheet and
available liquidity have provided the
funding to progress the development
programme and take advantage of new
investment opportunities.
New treasury initiatives in FY23 have
added diversity and flexibility to the
Trust’s debt book. The inaugural
$150 million Green Bond issue and
establishment of $300 million of Green
Loan facilities were the most significant
of these initiatives, aligning new funding
with sustainable development.
At 31 March 2023, GMT had a loan to
value ratio of 25.9% and committed
gearing of 29.1%. Debt facilities were
62.5% drawn, had a weighted average
term to expiry of 3.6 years, and were
83.7% hedged for the next 12 months.
Our preferred through cycle gearing range
of between 20% and 30%, is well below
the 50% maximum permitted under the
Trust's debt covenants. It is a conservative
setting that provides operational flexibility
and substantial balance sheet resilience
should investment markets deteriorate.
Future focused
GMT has delivered a robust operating
performance over the last 12 months,
with sustained customer demand
contributing to significant revenue and
earnings growth. The same business
drivers are expected to support further
strong operating results in FY24, with
forecast cash earnings of 7.4 cents per
unit and distributions of 6.2 cents per unit.
The longer-term outlook is more uncertain
with a variety of downside risks likely to
constrain economic activity.
Having the resilience to perform through
more challenging market conditions has
always guided our investment strategy.
By remaining agile and adapting to the
changing operating environment, the Trust
will continue to benefit from the structural
trends that are driving demand for our
sustainable warehouse and logistics
space solutions.

Goodman’s focus on circularity
and commitment to sustainable
development includes the recycling
and repurposing of demolition materials
across all its brownfield projects.
Developing sustainably
Over 90% of the Trust’s current development
projects are being constructed on brownfield sites.
Situated in prime locations, the redevelopment of these
older style properties into modern, efficient, sustainable
distribution facilities improves the efficiency of
Auckland’s industrial building stock. The intensification
of use helps limit urban sprawl and minimises travel
distances and transport-related emissions for
customers focused on last mile delivery.
All new projects are targeting an industry leading
5 Green Star Built rating. The certification,
from the New Zealand Green Building Council,
assesses the sustainability attributes of the project
and the quality of the workspaces it provides.

Favona
Development insight
The first stage in the creation of a logistics supersite
for Mainfreight, at the Trust's Favona Road Estate
in Māngere, saw 80% of demolition material,
over 2,500 tonnes, recycled.
The initial eight-month deconstruction phase of
this brownfield project included the sorting and
transport of all aluminium and steel framing, glass
panels, concrete and other building materials to
appropriate resource recovery operators.
Late 2018
The purchase
Three adjoining brownfield sites on Favona
Road, Māngere, were conditionally acquired
in December 2018 for $29 million. The
7 hectare property included 40,000 sqm
of older-style commercial glasshouses.

Goodman’s strategic focus as an owner, developer
and manager of warehouse and logistics space
includes the aim of becoming a lower carbon
and more resilient property business.
A sustainability framework that includes the following three pillars
directs our actions towards these goals.
Sustainable properties
Goodman invests in properties that
are adaptable, resource efficient
and resilient to the impacts of
climate change. Located close to
key transport infrastructure and
large consumer catchments, these
facilities help improve our customers’
operational efficiency. High-quality
workspaces and a range of amenity
features contribute to staff wellbeing
for these businesses.
People and culture
We believe that a business that is
positively connected with its people
and wider community will deliver
superior long-term results. Goodman’s
flexible and progressive work practices
help create a diverse, inclusive and
safety conscious culture. Team
members are recruited and rewarded
based on their commitment to our
values, long-term strategic thinking,
expertise and performance.
Corporate performance
A sustainable capital structure,
contemporary governance policies
and business wide commitment to
ESG principles give our investors,
regulators, customers, and community
partners confidence in our strategy.
We measure our performance against
leading benchmarks and provide the
market with regular updates on our
operating performance and wider
business activities.
We’re challenging
ourselves to do
better and do more
for the benefit of all
our stakeholders.
Paving the way
Our framework
Concrete with lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) is specified for all new developments. It has up to
25% less embodied carbon than standard practice concrete.

significant to our business were
extensively reviewed in 2021.
The next stakeholder consultation
will be undertaken in FY24
as part of a three-year cycle.
We’ve made three updates to
the matrix this year, following a
comprehensive internal review.
These changes include:
1. Increased priority being
assigned to sustainability
and resilience related factors
2. The number of factors has
been reduced to 10, with similar
priorities being amalgamated
3. New wellbeing and diversity
initiatives throughout our
business have been reflected
in the relative rankings
of these factors
It includes reporting on a range of non-

GMT’s urban logistics portfolio provides customers
with high-quality properties in key locations across
Auckland. Close to major transport infrastructure and
large consumer catchments, the productivity benefits
of our facilities are reflected in high occupancy levels
and strong customer retention rates.
Future proof portfolio
The average age of the core portfolio
is around 11 years. A long-term
investment strategy ensures these
properties are maintained to a
superior standard. Upgrade projects
that improve the operational and
environmental performance of the
portfolio are also underway.
These energy efficiency and water
conservation initiatives include the
installation of electricity submetering,
solar energy systems, EV chargers,
LED lighting and water saving
technologies. The replacement of
R22 refrigerants within building HVAC
systems with low emission factor
alternatives has also commenced.

Sustainable development
solutions
A successful development programme
has driven the growth of GMT, with over
90% of the core portfolio developed
since 2004.
Our commitment to sustainable
development includes the targeting of
a 5 Green Star Built rating on all new
projects. Adopting the Green Star
standard as our base-build specification
ensures all new warehouse and
logistics facilities are highly sustainable
and operationally efficient.
Recently completed projects at
Highbrook Business Park have
received a 6 Green Star Design rating.
Representing world leadership standard,
the NZ Blood Service and Tāwharau
Lane projects are the first industrial
buildings in New Zealand to achieve
this rating.
The use of lower carbon and sustainably
sourced building materials in the
construction phase is reducing the
intensity of our development emissions.
Life cycle assessments, measuring the
upfront embodied carbon of all current
projects, recorded an average 13.8%
reduction in emissions intensity compared
to similar sized reference buildings. On
a square metre basis, this equates to a
reduction from around 462 kg CO
2
e sqm
to 398 kg CO
2
e sqm of net lettable area.
Once complete and independently
verified, the residual embodied carbon in
these development projects will be offset.
We’ve also integrated circularity principles
into the development process, with
careful recycling and repurposing of
most demolition and construction waste
where possible.
Extensive landscaping, urban ngahere
(urban forests), beehives and other
biodiversity initiatives are incorporated
into our larger estates, enhancing, and
protecting the natural environment.
Over 10,700 native shrubs and trees were
planted at Highbrook Business Park and
Roma Road Estate during the year.

Climate risk and
emissions reporting
With extreme weather events already
affecting our communities, the need
for collective action on climate change
is urgent.
As a business we are committed to
minimising our greenhouse gas emissions
and have implemented a sustainability
programme that includes ambitious
carbon reduction targets. Our Emissions
Reduction and Management Plan details
the operational initiatives that will help
in the transition to a low carbon, more
sustainable business.
The plan has been updated this year,
with 2030 targets added to the original
2025 objectives. The pathway is aligned
with the Paris Agreement and the aim
of limiting global warming to less than
1.5 degrees.
Carbonzero certification from Toitū
confirms our carbon emissions have been
measured in accordance with the new
ISO 14064-1:2018 standard and that we
have offset mandatory emissions with locally
sourced carbon credits (Category 1-4), and
Certified Renewable Energy certificates
(Category 2) from Meridian.
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.
The table below summarises the
combined emissions of these
businesses, with the detailed inventory
available online. The objective is to
reduce absolute emissions (from our
2020 base year) by 21.5% before
2025, and 43.0% by 2030.
Our FY23 result, with a 38.3%
reduction in emissions, is consistent
with these ambitions. The strong
progress reflects positively on our
carbon reduction initiatives which
are summarised on page 26.
The embodied carbon from our
development activity is reported
on a below the line basis, as non-
mandatory Category 4 emissions.
We estimate that these emissions
will be around 17,183 tCO

OUR VALUES
Goodman’s values are integral to the success
of the business. They shape our culture and
focus our people on delivering high-quality
service, and innovative property and investment
solutions over the long term.
Prioritising health and safety
We are committed to creating a safe
working environment that is free of
accidents and other workplace risks.
A detailed Health and Safety policy
governs our work practices and ensures
our obligations under the Health and Safety
at Work Act 2015 are complied with.
There were 67 health and safety incidents
reported in FY23 compared to 52 in FY22.
All incidents were classified as minor
with no serious harm injuries, a pleasing
result that has continued since FY18.
The data includes any incidents involving
our people or contractors together with
any reported incidents occurring within
the public areas of the portfolio. It includes
hazard observations, near misses, injuries
requiring first aid, injuries requiring medical
treatment and serious harm injuries.
We are also taking steps to understand
whether there are any potential risks in
our supply chain in relation to modern
slavery. We have undertaken a survey of
our preferred suppliers for the purpose
of managing this risk.
Strength through diversity
We know that a diverse and inclusive team
creates a vibrant work culture with a rich
mix of views and ideas. Diversity brings
unique perspectives and experiences
to problem solving, ultimately leading to
better business outcomes.
We celebrate individual differences
and want our people to feel included
and supported. An inclusive culture score
of 90% in our recent survey indicates we
are delivering on these objectives.
Our refreshed Inclusion and Diversity
policy, which sets goals across gender,
ethnicity and age, guides our behaviour
and helps ensure we are a representative
and inclusive workplace.
Page 113 of this report includes more
detail of our workforce demographics
and our targets for 2030.
Flexible and progressive employment
policies are one of the ways we help
reduce bias. These policies have
encouraged a more permanent shift in
work practices over the last few years,
with 49% of our people working flexible
hours and 88% choosing to work
remotely at least one day a week.
Approximately 7% of our people have
also been supported with formal part-
time working arrangements.

Workplace wellbeing
Goodman's brand values guide how we
interact with each other, represent our
business, and engage with stakeholders.
An employee retention rate of 94% over
the last year, and an engagement score
of 88% in an internal survey in March
2023 show we have created a positive
and supportive work environment for
our people.
We take a holistic approach to wellbeing
with a range of initiatives focused on
health and happiness.
Our partnership with Groov has
continued to support the mental health
of our people over the last 12 months.
Dr Fiona Crichton has delivered
foundation sessions, to build knowledge
and help identify the small actions
that individuals and teams can take to
improve their wellbeing.
Annual flu vaccinations, COVID-19 testing
kits and skin cancer checks are other
health services offered to our people.
We also hosted and promoted social and
cultural events, sporting and recreational
opportunities, and a financial wellbeing
session from Benestar (our EAP provider)
over the last 12 months.
Developing our people
It is important to Goodman that we
recruit, engage, develop and retain the
best people. This focus starts with a brief
to agency partners that ensures they
are representing Goodman’s values and
supporting us to attract diverse talent.
We look for people who will challenge
our thinking, drive change and develop
new ideas that contribute to sustainable
business outcomes.
We empower our managers and provide
the tools and processes to help our
people reach their potential. Formal
induction programmes, regular reviews,
career development plans and training
objectives provide the pathways that
enable our people to thrive.
Training can be online or through more
structured learning, with study grants
and leave available for technical or
tertiary courses.
A unique long-term incentive plan helps
retain talent. It gives all our people a
material stake in the business, aligning their
interests with those of our stakeholders.
To encourage wider participation in our
industry we provide an annual scholarship
for a University of Auckland property
student and support the Keystone Trust

retention levels is key to achieving
resilience within our portfolio. The strength
of our customers underwrites GMT’s
financial performance, providing the
strong rental cashflows that underpin
earnings growth and returns to investors.
Low gearing and significant liquidity
bolster the resilience of our business,
while creating the capacity to invest in
new opportunities as and when they arise.
GMT’s Sustainable Finance Framework
enables the business to issue new bonds
and establish loans to support the
delivery of sustainable property solutions
for our customers.
Benchmarking
As a business we are focused on
continuous improvement and best
practice, and as a part of this we
undertake regular benchmarking against
respected international standards.
As part of our commitment to reducing our
carbon footprint, GMT has participated in
the annual CDP survey since 2006. The
global initiative encourages participants to
measure their greenhouse gas emissions,
manage their climate change impacts and
reduce carbon pollution.
Investment grade
credit rating
Our financial strength is
reflected in our credit rating.
GMT’s approach to gearing,
capital management,
operations and investments
contribute to S&P Global
Ratings maintaining their credit
rating of BBB for the business.
As a result of the mortgage
security held over GMT’s
property portfolio, the Trust’s
debt issuances are rated one
notch higher at BBB+.
Both ratings have remained
stable since first assigned
in 2009.
The implementation of emission
management and reduction strategies as
part of our Toitū carbonzero certification
has contributed to an improved CDP
result in 2022 with a climate score of
A-, compared to B in 2021 and B- in
2020. This was the equal highest rating
achieved by a New Zealand organisation
in 2022. We also maintained our supplier
engagement score of A-.
There were 30 local businesses that
submitted data, with CDP evaluating over
18,700 organisations worldwide. Further

Reporting
As a leading NZX investment entity, we
have the responsibility to provide timely,
balanced and readily available information.
We engage with the investment community
on a regular basis, through various
communication channels, including formal
reporting, market announcements and
briefings, newsletters and more directly
through open days, presentations, and
meetings.
For our sustainability reporting we have
adopted the GRI framework. The index
on page 44 allows stakeholders to readily
access and review key information
regarding our sustainability programme,
ensuring both transparency and
accountability.
We are active industry participants and
have worked collectively with others
during the year to agree three climate
change scenarios for the New Zealand
construction and property sector.
An external consultant has also been
engaged to undertake an assessment of
the Trust’s assets under each of these
scenarios. From FY24, these impacts will
be disclosed in accordance with Aotearoa
New Zealand Climate Standard 1
(NZ C S1).
Our corporate memberships and
partnerships include Australasian

Association and Property Council
of New Zealand.
Community spirited
Engagement with our communities
and broader stakeholders is integral to
the fabric of GMT. Building meaningful
connections and fostering positive
relationships with the community
gives us the social licence to operate.
One of the most important
stakeholder relationships we have is
with tangata whenua. We continue
to work alongside local iwi in our
investment and social initiatives to
ensure we acknowledge and honour

Goodman Foundation
YEAR IN REVIEW
The Goodman Foundation
has been supporting
New Zealand communities
for well over 10 years.
During this time the charitable
organisation has provided over $2 million
of financial assistance to its community
partners. These organisations share
the same values and are delivering
initiatives that improve the wellbeing and
social outcomes of those living in the
neighbourhoods where Goodman invests.
Acknowledging the devastating impacts
of the extreme weather across the North
Island during January and February 2023,
the Goodman Foundation has extended its
community support.
An additional $100,000 in funding has
been provided to KiwiHarvest, OrangeSky
and the Red Cross in response to the
hardship and displacement caused by
the Auckland Anniversary floods and
Cyclone Gabrielle.
The financial support will allow these
organisations to extend their services,
helping with the immediate need and
ongoing recovery of the affected
communities.
Goodman team members are also
contributing directly with individual
donations being matched by the
Goodman Foundation.
The Red Cross were recipients of additional Goodman Foundation funding to assist with disaster relief
following extreme weather events in early 2023.

KiwiHarvest
As New Zealand’s leading food rescue
organisation, KiwiHarvest is on track to
double the volume of food it collects and
redistributes by 2025.
With local services operating in Auckland,
Dunedin, Queenstown and Invercargill,
KiwiHarvest collects nutritious but
perishable food destined for landfill and
redistributes it to those in need through
foodbanks and other community agencies.
In a year when fruit and vegetables prices
increased 23%, making them unattainable
to our most vulnerable, KiwiHarvest
redistributed a record 2.0 million kgs of
food. Around 12% more than previous
year and equivalent to over 5.74 million
meals, it included surplus produce, protein,
mislabelled goods, cleaning products and
grocery items approaching expiry.
Responding to the acute need in
our communities in early 2023, the
organisation acted quickly, with essential
deliveries of food, hygiene, and cleaning
supplies to the storm damaged and
isolated areas of Northland, West
Auckland, and Hawke’s Bay.
A founding partner, the Goodman
Foundation has been a supporter of
KiwiHarvest since 2015. This support
includes regular volunteering, with
Goodman people encouraged to help
in the warehouse, processing and
packing produce and other food items
for distribution.

read face a lifetime of disadvantage and
created a programme to encourage
reading at home by gifting books.
Over 100,000 Kiwi kids now benefit from
five free books every year, with more than
14 million books being distributed since the
programme began almost 30 years ago.
There are 700 schools and early

1
Operating earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure included to provide an assessment of the performance
of GMT’s principal operating activities. The calculation of operating earnings before other income/(expenses)
and tax is set out in GMT’s Profit or Loss statement.
2
Refer to note 3.1 of GMT’s Financial Statements for the calculation.
3
Cash earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that assesses underlying operating cashflows, on a per unit
basis, after adjusting for borrowing costs and Manager’s base fee capitalised to land, expenditure related to
building maintenance, and to reverse straight line rental adjustments.
4
Loan to value ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure that assess GMT’s level of gearing. Refer to note 2.6
of GMT’s Financial Statements for the calculation.
While the operating
performance of the Trust
has been extremely
pleasing, a 4.7% reduction
in the fair value of its
property assets has
contributed to a statutory
loss of $135.4 million
after tax.
Financial overview
After more than five years of sustained
growth in property values, rising
interest rates have impacted real estate
investment yields. The valuation effect of
a 100-bps softening in GMT’s average
portfolio capitalisation rate (to 5.2%) has
been significantly reduced by positive
leasing results and strong rental growth
over the last 12 months.
Independent valuations at 31 March 2023
resulted in $237.7 million of fair value
losses, compared to $660.4 million of
fair value gains in FY22. The fair value
losses contribute to a 5.9% reduction in
net tangible asset backing, to 245.2 cents
per unit (on a fully diluted basis).
Adjusting for these fair value movements
and other cash and non-cash items
provides the reconciliation with operating
earnings.
Operating performance
High occupancy levels and sustained
customer demand have contributed
to strong operating results and new
development commitments for the Trust.
Net property income was up 12.7% for the
year to $177.0 million, supported by new
leasing, continued strong rental growth
and the completion of four development
projects. The purchase of the Sleepyhead
manufacturing facility in Ōtāhuhu during
the year ($49.4 million) also contributed to
the revenue growth.
Total expenses of $50.5 million were
30.2% higher than last year, driven
primarily by an increase in net interest
costs. Rising interest rates were reflected
in a weighted average cost of debt of
4.0%, 80-bps higher than the 3.2%
recorded in FY22. A 44.9% increase in
GMT’s average debt balance on the prior
year, as a result of new investment and
development initiatives, also contributed
to the increase in net interest costs.
Additional deductions associated with
new leasing and the redevelopment of
brownfield sites lowered GMT’s effective
tax rate to 12.2% (16.1% FY22). As a
result, the 11.9% increase in operating
earnings after tax (to $111.1 million) was
greater than the pre-tax increase of 6.9%.
On a weighted average unit basis, operating
earnings were 9.01 cents per unit before
tax and 7.92 cents per unit after tax.

Cash earnings and distributions
Cash earnings is our preferred measure
of underlying operating performance.
It is a non-GAAP measure that assesses
free cash flow, on a per unit basis, after
adjusting for certain items.
The table alongside presents the Trust’s
cash earnings calculation for the last
three years. It demonstrates a track
record of consistently strong growth.
Cash earnings of 7.1 cpu was 0.2 cpu
higher than market guidance (6.9 cpu)
and 6.6% higher than the 6.66 cpu
achieved in FY22. Cash distributions of
5.9 cpu reflect a payout ratio of 83.1%
and represent a 7.3% increase on the
5.5 cpu paid previously.
Guidance for FY24 is for a further 4%
increase in cash earnings to around
7.4 cpu, with a 5% increase in cash
distributions to approximately 6.2 cpu.
The Tāwharau Lane development at Highbrook Business Park included three standalone facilities leased to pH7, Garmin and Chemist Warehouse.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
FY23 summary
YEAR IN REVIEW
Balance sheet
Prudent capital management has always
supported GMT’s investment strategy.
A well-capitalised balance sheet has
enabled the Trust to grow sustainably,
taking advantage of new acquisition and
development opportunities as they arise.
New treasury initiatives in FY23 have
added diversity and flexibility to the
Trust’s debt book.
The inaugural $150 million Green Bond
issue and establishment of $300 million
of Green Loan facilities were the most
significant of these initiatives, aligning new
funding with sustainable development.
With $739 million of available liquidity
at 31 March 2023, GMT’s debt facilities
now include bank borrowings, listed retail
bonds, listed green bonds, wholesale
bonds and US Private Placement debt
notes.
A loan to value ratio of 25.9% and
committed gearing of 29.1% is well
below the 50% maximum allowed under
GMT’s Trust Deed and debt facility
covenants. It is a conservative setting
that provides operational flexibility and
substantial balance sheet resilience
should investment markets deteriorate.
GMT Bond Issuer Limited
GMT Bond Issuer Limited received
$28.8 million of interest income (FY22
$20.6 million) and incurred $28.8 million
of interest expense (FY22 $20.6 million).
The increase on the previous year reflects
the full year impact of the $200 million
Wholesale Bond issue in December 2021
and GMT’s inaugural $150 million Green
Bond issue in April 2022. The five-year
Green Bonds (GMB060) were issued
under the Trust’s Sustainable Finance
Framework. The coupon rate of 4.74%,
represented a competitive interest
margin of 1.10% per annum over the
corresponding base rate.
The GMB030 bonds matured on 23 June
2022.
S&P Global Ratings has maintained the
credit rating of all bonds issued by GMT
Bond Issuer Limited at BBB+. This is one
notch higher than the Trust’s investment
grade issuer rating of BBB due to the
mortgage security held over GMT’s
property portfolio.
No dividends or distributions have been
paid by GMT Bond Issuer Limited.
GMT's $4.8 billion portfolio provides over 1 million sqm of warehouse and logistics space.

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. Straight line rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight-line income recognition. Where lease
incentives are provided to customers, the cost of incentives is amortised 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.
1.2. Future contracted gross lease receipts
Gross lease receipts that the Group has contracted to receive in future years are set out below. These leases cannot be cancelled by the customer.

Significant transactions
In May 2022, GMT completed the acquisition of a value-add property in Ōtāhuhu, Auckland for $49.4 million.
In December 2022, following the satisfaction of a subdivision condition, GMT completed the final part of the acquisition of land at Māngere, Auckland for $10.0 million.
During the year ended 31 March 2023, three developments were completed and were independently valued at a total of $99.3 million.
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, who are all members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers.
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 cash flows 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.
The Group has considered the impact of climate change on the business and the valuation of investment property. To date, the panel of independent valuers used have
made no explicit adjustments to valuations in respect of climate change matters. The Group acknowledges that climate change considerations will likely have a greater
influence on valuations in the future as markets place a greater emphasis on these matters.
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 market capitalisation rate is the main determinant of value in the valuation of investment property. The impact of a 0.5% increase in the market capitalisation rate from
5.2% to 5.7%, assuming all other valuation inputs remain unchanged, would be equivalent to a decrease of $378.7 million / 7.9% in the fair value of investment property.
Land is valued based on recent comparable transactions, resulting in land values ranging between $212 psm and $650 psm (2022: between $211 psm and $649 psm).

1. Investment property (continued)
1.6. Stabilised properties (continued)
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.

1. Investment property (continued)
1.7. Investment property under development (continued)
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 (adjusted for
percentage of completion) in the same manner as stabilised properties.
Commenced developments held at the land transfer value plus subsequent capital expenditure are tested for impairment. An indication of impairment requires an
assessment of the recoverable amount of the commenced development, with the full value of any applicable impairment immediately recognised.
Land is carried at fair value, independently valued at least annually, with any changes in valuation recognised in Profit or Loss.

Bank ($75.0 million) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (New Zealand) Limited ($75.0 million). Additional bilateral facilities were provided to the Trust by Bank of
New Zealand ($150.0 million), Commonwealth Bank of Australia ($100.0 million) and Westpac New Zealand Limited ($150.0 million).
As at 31 March 2022 $570.0 million of syndicated bank facilities was provided to the Trust by Bank of New Zealand ($185.0 million), Commonwealth Bank of Australia
($150 million), The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited ($130.0 million) and Westpac New Zealand Limited ($105.0 million). An additional $100.0 million

As at 31 March 2023, GMT’s drawn borrowings had a weighted average remaining term of 3.6 years (2022: 4.6 years), with 74% being drawn from non-bank sources
(2022: 85%). Calculation of the weighted average remaining term assumes syndicated bank facilities utilise 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 $65.7 million (2022: $65.8 million) and The Gate Industry Park for
$0.2 million (2022: $0.2 million). The calculation of the lease liabilities assumes lease terms of between 62 and 65 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 3.5% 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 2023 of between 5.23% for the
90-day BKBM and 4.30% for the 10-year swap rate (2022: 1.61% for the 90-day BKBM and 3.38% 10-year swap rate). There were no changes to these valuation
techniques during the year.

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

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

Derivative financial instruments0.2(3.8)

Total deferred tax liabilities(30.0)(36.0)
Key judgement
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates
enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax
assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
For deferred tax liabilities potentially arising on investment property measured at fair value there is a rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of the investment
property asset will be recovered through sale. In estimating this deferred tax liability, the Group has made reference to the Manager’s experience of tax depreciation
recovered when properties of a similar nature have been sold.

Related party investment in GMT
At 31 March 2023, Goodman Group, GNZ’s ultimate parent, through its subsidiary Goodman Investment Holdings (NZ) Limited, held 278,063,312 units in GMT out of a total
1,403,254,516 units on issue (31 March 2022: 345,971,371 units in GMT out of a total 1,397,303,338 units).
At 31 March 2023, Goodman Group, GNZ’s ultimate parent, through Goodman Industrial Trust, held 75,357,377 units in GMT out of a total 1,403,254,516 units on issue
(31 March 2022: nil 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.
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), 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, (the “Peer Group") with the index being compiled by a suitably qualified and
experienced person.
GMT will not earn a performance fee on any performance in excess of the target return plus 5% per annum with any performance over that cap carried forward indefinitely to future
periods (except in a period in which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT terminates). Similarly, any performance below the target return is carried forward indefinitely to future periods. No
performance fee is payable for any year where GMT's performance is less than 0%, however, any under or over performance in that year 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 2023, GMT’s return was less than 0% and therefore no performance fee is payable (2022: $15.7 million), however GMT outperformed the Peer Group and has
a $48.9 million carry forward to include in the calculation for future periods (2022: $9.0 million carry forward). Subject to no issued capital changes by GMT, the maximum
performance fee payable in the year to 31 March 2024 is $14.7 million.

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 1% change to interest rates.

12. Financial risk management (continued)
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, green 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, green retail bonds, wholesale bonds and US Private Placement notes are as follows:
$ millionFair value hierarchy20232022
Retail bondsLevel 11 9 7. 1302.4
Green retail bondsLevel 114 3.4–
Wholesale bondsLevel 23 41 .7354.2
US Private Placement notesLevel 2U S $10 9.4U S $114.8
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
cash flows 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. During
the year, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
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.

Independent auditor’s report
To the unitholders of Goodman Property Trust
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of the Goodman Property Trust (the Trust), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2023, 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 Trust's financial statements comprise:
+ the balance sheet as at 31 March 2023;
+ the statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
+ the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
+ the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
+ the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International
Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of assurance services relating to the performance fee calculation, agreed upon procedures relating to the financial
covenants of the bank facilities and reporting to the supervisor of GMT Bond Issuer Limited. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of
the Group.

Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. This matter was
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment property
As disclosed in note 1, the portfolio of investment properties comprising Auckland
industrial stabilised properties and investment property under development held
by the Group was valued at $4.8 billion of which $4.7 billion is held at fair value as
at 31 March 2023.
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 existence of
significant estimation uncertainty coupled with the size and value of the investment
property portfolio, is why we have given special audit focus and attention to this area.
Valuations were carried out by independent registered valuers selected by the
Manager. The valuers performed their work in accordance with the International
Valuation Standards and the Australia and New Zealand Valuation and Property
Standards. The valuers engaged are well-established and experienced in the market
in which the Group operates, 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, discount rates,
market rental, rental growth rates and terminal capitalisation 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.
Goodman (NZ) Limited (the Manager) verify all key inputs to the valuations, assess
property valuation movements against prior periods and hold 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 have obtained sufficient
appropriate audit evidence to demonstrate the suitability of the inclusion of the valuation in
the balance sheet and disclosures made in the financial statements were 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 impact of climate change and related risks on the portfolio
+ the controls in place over the valuation process.
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 valuation inputs
+ 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 assessed the valuers’ qualifications, expertise and objectivity and found no
evidence to suggest that their objectivity in performing the valuations was compromised.
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.

Our audit approach
Overview
MaterialityOverall Group materiality: $6,325,000 which represents 5% of profit before tax excluding movements in 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 of the financial statements.
Following our assessment of the risk of material misstatement, a full scope audit was performed over the consolidated Group balances
Key audit mattersAs 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 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 Group's investments and 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 determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Manager is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Manager either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and
ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (NZ), 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.GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST

Independent auditor’s report
To the unitholders of Goodman Property Trust (continued)
+ 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's unitholders, as a body,
for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

6. Financial risk management
The Company is exposed to financial risk for the financial instruments that it holds. Financial risk can be classified in the following categories; interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity
risk and capital management risk.
The Board has delegated to the Goodman (NZ) Limited Audit Committee the responsibility to review the effectiveness and efficiency of management processes, risk
management and internal financial controls and systems as part of their duties.
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 assets and liabilities by their relevant contractual maturity date. Values are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and
include both principal and interest where applicable.

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 hierarchy20232022
Related party receivablesLevel 2682.2656.6
Retail bondsLevel 1(197.1)(302.4)
Green retail bondsLevel 1(143.4)–
Wholesale bondsLevel 2( 3 41 .7 )(354.2)
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 cash flows 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, the green 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.
During the year, there were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
7. Equity
As at 31 March 2023, 100 ordinary shares had been issued for nil consideration (2022: 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 2023 are nil (2022: nil).

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholder 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 2023, 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 2023;
+ the statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
+ the statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
+ the statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
+ the notes to the financial statements, which include significant accounting policies 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

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
MaterialityOverall materiality: $288,000, which represents 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.
Key audit mattersAs reported above, 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.
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.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
107
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.
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
To the shareholder of GMT Bond Issuer Limited (continued)
GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
108
+ 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 Lisa Crooke.

Goodman Group is the Trust’s largest
investor, owning approximately 25.2%
of Units on issue at 31 March 2023.
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 Bonds issued
by GMT Bond Issuer Limited.
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/about-
goodman/corporate-governance
which Directors and employees who wish
to trade in GMT Units or 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
https://nz.goodman.com/about-goodman/
board-of-directors
Directors have an average tenure of
12 years at 31 March 2023. 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. The exception is Gregory
Goodman who has a standing appointment
in his role as Group CEO of Goodman
Group and Phil Pryke who as a Goodman
Group representative is appointed for
such term as Goodman Group considers
appropriate but never exceeding three
years.
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.
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.

YEAR IN REVIEWOTHER INFORMATION
Corporate governance
between the various business segments
and compares this against the 2030
targets, included in the refreshed
Inclusion and Diversity policy.
Of the seven Directors that comprise the
Board, two identify as female, five identify
as male and the three officers all identify
as male. The composition is unchanged
from the 2022 financial year.
Of the executives, three identify as
female and six identify as male.
Of the 69 staff that make up the
business, 46.4% identify as female and
46.4% identify as male, 7.2% identified
as ‘other identity’ or chose not to answer.
Around 7% of our people identify as part
of the LGBTTQIA+ community.
On average, a Goodman team member
has been with the business for seven
years and is approximately 38 years
old. It’s a team that includes 11 different
ethnicities, with speakers of 11 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 James
Spence is the Chief Executive Officer
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 2023 financial year, all
Directors attended each Board meeting
they were entitled to attend. The 100%
attendance record was also maintained in
the 2022 financial year.

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 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, which
are subsidiaries of Goodman Group.
An Inclusion and Diversity policy, specific
to NZ Directors and employees was
adopted in 2018 and has been refreshed
in 2023. 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.
Strategies to broaden representation
across the business have delivered
positive results, although with a stable
team it has been a graduated change.

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 and Company Secretary.

biography.
PRINCIPLE 3
Board Committees
The Board establishes committees to
assist in the exercise of its functions and
duties and to ensure that all risks are
effectively monitored and managed.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee is a permanent
committee which typically meets four
times a year. As at the date of this Report,
the Audit Committee has a majority of
Independent Directors and comprises:
Laurissa Cooney (Chair), Keith Smith,
Leonie Freeman, David Gibson and
Phil Pryke. Phil Pryke is the only Director
on the Audit Committee who is not
independent.
All members of the Audit Committee
are non-executive Directors.
The Audit Committee operates under
the terms of a formal charter, a copy of
which is available on the website within
the corporate governance section. The
duties and responsibilities of the Audit
Committee include the following:
+monitoring the independence, ability
and objectivity of the external auditor
+ensuring the Key Audit Partner (as
defined in the Listing Rules) is changed
every f ive years
+reviewing the financial statements of
GMT and GMT Bond Issuer Limited
and overseeing the auditing of those
financial statements
+reviewing and reporting to the Board
on the appropriateness of GMT’s
Financial Risk Management policy
+setting the parameters for the internal
audit programme, overseeing its
implementation and reviewing its
outputs and recommendations
+overseeing and advising on the
Manager’s internal risk management
programme.
Remuneration Committee
The NZX Code recommends that a
Remuneration Committee be established
to benchmark remuneration packages for
Directors and senior employees and that
this be disclosed to investors.
GMT has not followed this
recommendation during the financial year
ended 31 March 2023, 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 115.
Nomination Committee
GMT’s Trust Deed gives Unitholders
the right to nominate and appoint
Independent Directors.
The Board, rather than a committee,
manages 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
non-Independent 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.

Corporate governance
PRINCIPLE 4
Reporting & Disclosure
A fully informed and efficient market
builds investor confidence which
ultimately contributes to the investment
performance of the Trust and its ability
to raise capital.
The Manager is committed to keeping
Unitholders, regulators and other
stakeholders fully and promptly informed
of all material information. The Manager
has policies and procedures that govern
the behaviour of the Directors and
employees, ensuring balanced and timely
information is provided to the market.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
The Manager has a Continuous
Disclosure Policy which details the
relevant legal requirements and sets out
the procedures put in place to ensure
compliance with them.
Related Party Policy
The Manager believes that having a
Board with a majority of experienced and
strong Independent Directors, effectively
manages any related party issues or
conflicts that could arise with an external
management structure.
A comprehensive Related Party Policy
summarises the relevant restrictions
contained in the Listing Rules, the law and
relevant contractual commitments, and
how these issues are managed.
The Manager uses this policy as a tool to
ensure that:
+Management and the Board are
properly briefed and educated on
the relevant restrictions and the
processes put in place to ensure
compliance with these restrictions
+Unitholders and the investment
market recognise that the Manager
deals with related party issues in an
appropriate, transparent and robust
manner.
Other reporting
The Manager has extended GMT’s
corporate reporting in recent years
to provide a broader overview of the
business, explaining how the Trust creates
long-term value for all its stakeholders.
It includes additional information about the
Manager's own-develop-manage business
model, its current investment strategy
and how its sustainability objectives are
integrated into the business.
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. Following an internal review
in FY23, the 14 existing factors were
amalgamated into 10.
These factors are categorised under the
three pillars of Goodman’s sustainability
framework (Sustainable Properties, People
and Culture, Corporate Performance)
and are the focus of GMT’s corporate
reporting. See the Sustainability Report,
starting on page 22 for more information.

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, in relation to the financial
year ended 31 March 2023, it is not
possible to comply with the NZX
Code recommendations that issuers
have a remuneration policy and that
Director remuneration be approved
by unitholders. In this respect the
NZX Code recommendations have
no application to a Unit Trust such
as GMT, as it has no Directors or
employees.
A breakdown of the fees paid by GMT
in FY23 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
Goodman Group’s Remuneration
and Nomination Charter 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.

of governing the Trust and implementing
a strategy that creates value for its
investors. The level of remuneration is
regularly benchmarked against other

Chief Executive Officer and
employee remuneration
The remuneration of the CEO and other
employees is designed to attract and
retain the most talented and experienced
individuals. Packages include a base
salary, together with short-term and
long-term incentive components.
A summary of key remuneration
principles is set out below:
+the basis of remuneration is local
market referenced base salary,
reviewed annually
+employees may be awarded short
term incentives in the form of
discretionary cash bonuses. These
remain subject to the performance
of GMT, Goodman Group and the
individual against specific financial
and operational targets
+all employees (other than John Dakin,
CEO until 31 December 2022)
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 5-year LTIP”)
+for the NZ LTIP, performance
rights are awarded 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. GMT does not issue any new
units in relation to the NZ LTIP
+under the Goodman 5-year LTIP,
performance rights are awarded
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
+for both LTI schemes, an employee
is required to remain employed for
the full five-year period from the
initial grant to be eligible to receive all
the awards that meet performance
hurdles and for both schemes
Goodman Group has the right to
“cash-out” any Performance Rights
which have met the required hurdles
for vesting
+with effect from the year ended
31 March 2022, John Dakin
(CEO until 31 December 2022)
participates in the Goodman Group
10-year LTIP which has a four-year
testing period for performance rights,
followed by a seven-year vesting
period (“Goodman 10-year LTIP”).
In all other respects, this scheme
replicates the Goodman 5-year LTIP.
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 provided.

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 for GMT.
The Board has the overall responsibility
for ensuring that risk is managed
effectively. This includes consideration
of all strategic, operational, financial and
compliance risks. The Audit Committee
reviews the effectiveness of the risk
management process.
Risk register
The register identifies the material risks
to the business, assessing the impact
and likelihood of each risk along with the
steps taken to mitigate possible adverse
impacts. Customer, environmental,
financial, human, health and safety,
regulatory and reputational impacts are
all considered.
The Manager’s business risk function
facilitates the annual review of the
risk register in conjunction with senior
management. Existing risks are
reassessed, and new risks considered
during the review.

Financial Risk Management policy
The policy reflects the Board’s approach
to managing financial risks. It includes
policies, controls relating to:
+Liquidity risk
+Interest rate risk
+Foreign exchange risk
+Counterparty credit risk
+Operational risk
This policy is reviewed by the Board
annually.
Health and Safety
The health, safety and wellbeing of
employees, customers, contractors
and the wider community is a business
priority.
Since the introduction of the Health
and Safety at Work Act 2015 the
Manager has worked closely with staff
and contractors to develop a culture of
greater safety awareness. The emphasis
on proper processes, vigilance and
personal responsibility is consistent with
the aim of being free of serious harm
accidents.
Detailed reporting, including trend
analysis, is provided to the Board on a
regular basis and used to identify and
mitigate future health and safety risks.
There were no serious harm accidents
recorded in the last financial year.
PRINCIPLE 7
Auditor
The Audit Committee ensures the quality
and independence of the external audit
process. The Committee ensures the
annual audit is carried out independently
and without impairment maintaining the
credibility and reliability of the Trust’s
financial reporting.
PricewaterhouseCoopers have been
auditor of the Trust since Goodman
became Manager in FY04. Lisa Crooke
has been lead audit partner since FY23.
Annual meeting attendance
The Manager also requires the external
auditors to attend the annual meeting
to answer Unitholders’ questions about
the conduct of the audit, as well as
the preparation and content of the
independent auditor’s report.
Internal audit
The Audit Committee approves the
annual internal audit programme. The
scope of the internal audit programme
varies from year to year depending on
the outcome of the risk assessment
review described in Principle 6.
The service is performed by Goodman
Group with its engagement approved
by the Trust’s supervisor and the
Independent Directors.
PRINCIPLE 8
Unitholder Rights & Relations
The Board and Manager encourage
investor engagement and facilitate this
through regular communication and
meeting opportunities. The Manager’s
investor relations resource is responsible
for delivering this programme. It typically
includes:
+An annual meeting
+Investor open days
+Periodic newsletters
+Annual reports
+Live webcasts of the interim and
annual result presentations
+Regular institutional investor and
analyst meeting
+Investor briefings
The investor relations section of the
website is the repository of important
information about GMT and GMT Bond
Issuer Limited. It includes NZX releases,
financial result and meeting presentations,
reports and newsletters, and distribution
histories. It also allows investors to view
current prices and link to the Registrar to
check their holding, update details and
download forms.
Investors have the option of receiving
communication in printed or electronic
format and live webcasting is provided
for the annual meeting and financial
result presentations.
A dedicated toll-free investor line
is also available for any investment
related queries, 0800 000 656
(+64 9 375 6073 from outside
New Zealand).
Annual meeting of Unitholders
The Trust Deed requires an annual
meeting of Unitholders every year. The
Board encourages the participation of
Unitholders at these meetings to ensure
accountability and familiarity with the
objectives of its investment strategy.
The next annual meeting is to be held on
28 June 2023.
Further details will be contained in the
Notice of Meeting, which is expected
to be distributed on or around 6 June
2023. This timing is less than the NZX
recommendation of being at least
28 days ahead of the meeting as there
are no resolutions to be voted on at this
year’s meeting.
When required, voting on resolutions
is done by poll and online proxy voting
is provided for investors unable to
attend. Unitholders have one vote per
unit they hold.

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
(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
(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.
GMT Bond Issuer Limited
No waivers were relied upon during the
period.

by NZX can be found at www.nzx.com

Building resilience
The desire to build supply chain resilience is driving customer demand for well-located urban logistics space
+Demographic changes, customer sustainability targets, and the unique requirements of e-commerce have all driven the increase in demand for well-located
and operationally efficient urban logistics property
+Customers are seeking to improve supply chain resilience by increasing productivity and value from their warehouse and logisticsfacilities and are now
requiring more sophisticated distribution networks
Goodman provides essential supply chain infrastructure in a highly constrained market
+The Auckland industrial market is at capacity, with almost zero vacancy for prime space, which, alongside growing barriers toentry for new supply, is driving
significant market rental growth
+Our portfolio is expected to continue to grow organically, primarily through redevelopment activity from within the existing portfolio, with a cautious approach
to any capital investment decision
GMT is well positioned with the physical and financial resilience for a more uncertain operating environment
+Having the ability to perform through more challenging market conditions has always guided our investment strategy
+GMT’s robust financial position, with low gearing, diverse sources of funding, and substantial liquidity, allows us to adapt to the environment and continue to
pursue the best opportunities

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST |ANNUAL RESULT2023
Future focused
Navigating the challenging economic environment
+The near-term outlook is more uncertain with a variety of
downside risks likely to constrain economic activity
+While a slowing economy has created headwinds, we expect GMT
to continue to benefit from strong property market fundamentals
+High barriers to entry and elevated construction costs are likely to
result in limited new supply, resulting in the market remaining at
near capacity
Continued focus on growth in underlying cashflows
+GMT has delivered a robust operating performance over the last
12 months, with increasing rentals, sustained high levels of
occupancy and development completions producing significant
growth in cashflows
+The same business drivers are expected to support further strong
operating results in the year ahead
+Prudent capital management and low gearing will continue to
underpin our investment strategy and continued ability to produce
robust long-termreturns
GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST |ANNUAL RESULT 2023 | SUMMARY & OUTLOOK

Guidance for FY24 is for afurther
4% increase in cash earnings to
around 7.4 cents per unit, with a 5%
