Goodman Group
Chairman's letter – A strong fi nish
Sustainable and successful global expansion and growth over
this time can be largely attributable to the Group’s ability, as an
Australian company, to assimilate respectfully into local markets,
complementing them and integrating the cultures near seamlessly.
Goodman’s focus on building strong teams, not only with deep
local expertise, but also aligned to the Group’s values, as well
as to those of our stakeholders, has paid off over the long term.
Over time, relationships with many of our customers and capital
Partners have extended from one market into multiple regions,
allowing our shared intellectual property to be leveraged at scale,
creating a unique and valuable opportunity for Goodman globally.
Critical to our future success, therefore, is retention of our people.
To do this, we foster the right culture and present our teams with
ambitious challenges and appropriate rewards. To protect our
shared perspective of long-term decision-making, Goodman will
remain competitive in remunerating its people and in aligning the
interests of our people with our Securityholders.
Board changes
The Goodman Board welcomes Mark G Johnson as an
Independent Director of Goodman Limited and Goodman Funds
Management Limited, and a member of the Audit Committee.
Mark spent 30 years at PwC where he was CEO from 2008 to
2012. He is currently on a number of listed boards, has extensive
experience in the unlisted private sector and in government,
education and community organisations.
As previously announced, this is my last year as Chairman;
Stephen Johns will succeed me at the Annual General Meetings
in November. Stephen joined the Board in 2017 as an Independent
Director and Chair of the Audit Committee. Over this time, he
has made a valuable contribution to the Board and is very well
positioned to succeed me as Chairman. I am confi dent the Group
will continue to prosper under his Chairmanship.
Finally, I would like to thank Greg and his team. It has been a
privilege since 2003 to serve on, and then Chair, Goodman Group.
It has been a wonderful journey, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time
with the Group and I am delighted to be fi nishing my tenure with
the business in such strong shape.
On behalf of the Board, I sincerely thank our customers and
investors for their continued support and all of Goodman’s people
for their contribution. I wish the Group every continued success
in the future.
Thank you,
Ian Ferrier, AM

Over the decade, Goodman Group has established strong
leadership teams, fi nancial resources and a strategic real estate
portfolio to maximise the sustainability of our earnings through
diffi cult market cycles.
This has been refl ected in a security price that has outperformed
relevant benchmarks in FY20 and consistently over time. Since
30 June 2020, despite the global economic challenges resulting
from COVID-19, we have outperformed the market by 20% as our
investors benefi t from, and react to, the Group’s resilience through
its strategic positioning over many years.
A shared culture and ambition
From the properties we invest in, to the relationships we build
with our customers and Investment Partners, to the commitment
we have for our people – we are focused on fostering long-term
relationships with like-minded stakeholders.
Our people are our greatest asset. Developing and maintaining
a strong, consistent culture is critical to the Group’s success.
I believe Goodman’s heritage has been one of its key strengths.
Over 25 years, the Group has grown from its Australian foundations
into a truly global company with approximately 70% of earnings
from international markets and a consistent company culture that
is also adapted to each local market.

Annual Report 2020
Group CEO’s letter – The decade ahead
This year has certainly been an extraordinary one with the
COVID-19 pandemic continuing to have a profound impact
around the world. Throughout this time, Goodman has remained
focused on executing its strategy – to own high-quality properties
in locations where our customers can be close to consumers.
Though it has been refi ned since, this is essentially the strategy
Goodman launched 25 years ago when we listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange.
Few knew then how strongly industrial property would factor
into the wider economy, yet our business has continued to prove
its relevance and resilience. That is true of 2020, too, when
alongside our customers and the logistics and warehousing sector
globally, Goodman has played an important role in delivering and
distributing critical supplies and consumer goods by providing the
essential infrastructure needed to do so.
Our long-term strategy continues to leverage the structural
and behavioural trends that, even before 2020, were fundamentally
changing how we live, work and consume. During the year, those
trends accelerated with e-commerce increasing, many people
moving to remote work arrangements and rising demand for
technology and big data.
For these broader societal reasons, as well as the location and
quality of our property assets, and the deep expertise of our
people, Goodman is well positioned to leverage the opportunities
of the decade ahead. As always, we are looking to the future.
Growth fuelled by customer demand
Goodman adapted to the new operating environment with limited
disruptions and the business continued its long-term growth, while
supporting our customers who were experiencing fi nancial distress
as a result of the pandemic. Over the past decade, the Group
has developed signifi cant expertise, fi nancial resources and a
well-located property portfolio to sustain it through various market
conditions. These strong foundations were evident in our FY20
results with operating performance ahead of guidance.
Customer demand for strategically located space in our $51.6 billion
portfolio increased during the year. Occupancy remained high
and rental growth was steady across several industry segments,
particularly those involved in consumer staples, e-commerce and
data storage.
This strong customer demand is positively impacting our
development business, where work in progress has increased
59% on last year, to $6.5 billion, and is forecast to exceed $7 billion
in the fi rst half of FY21.
Increased development activity is fl owing through to our external
assets under management too, which were up 12%. We now
manage $48 billion on behalf of our capital Partners and delivered
total average returns of 16.6% to them with strong income and
capital growth. Throughout, Goodman remains well capitalised
with total available liquidity of $19.1 billion across the Group and
Partnerships, and the Group further reduced its gearing to 7.5%
at the end of FY20.
FY21 forecast
Operating profi t
$1,165m
+10% on FY20
Increasing commitments
In this changing global landscape, we are signifi cantly increasing
the commitments, contributions and targets within our 2030
Sustainability Strategy. One notable example is increasing
our target from 100 megawatts (MW) to 400 megawatts (MW)
of solar capacity installed on our rooftops globally by 2025.
Meanwhile, in response to the recent Australian bushfi res and the
ongoing global pandemic, Goodman increased both its fi nancial
and non-fi nancial support through the Goodman Foundation to
$13.7 million, to make a greater tangible difference to those who
need it most.
Fast-tracking trends
Prior to the pandemic, consumers were expecting more
convenience with each passing year and technology use was
rising. Both trends spiked when the pandemic hit and what was
predicted to happen in fi ve years is happening today. The signs are
that increased e-commerce adoption and the need for more data
storage are here to stay.
As such, Goodman is keeping a watchful eye on emerging trends
that are showing earlier-than-expected signs of adoption. These
include technologies that aid a more personalised shopping
experience such as artifi cial intelligence, big data and the Internet
of Things. We are also observing the rise of subscription services
and of omnichannel retail, where physical and online sales
are integrated.
While it seems likely these trends will impact our customers,
a big lesson of this year is that not everything is possible to predict.
We do know, however, that whatever trends come to fruition,
our customers will need high-quality and sustainable properties,
close to consumers, in order to leverage them. These properties
will need to accommodate future technology investments, such as
robotics and automation, and they will need to support the health
and well-being of the people working there. All of these continue to
be Goodman priorities.
Forward thinking
This year, more than ever, I am very proud of how the Goodman
team stayed focussed on delivering for our stakeholders around
the world. I thank our people for their adaptability, hard work
and resilience. I’d also like to thank our customers, capital
Partners and investors for their ongoing commitment and
support. I’d especially like to thank Ian Ferrier for his stewardship
as both a board member and Chair. He has made a tremendous
contribution to our business over the years and we wish him well
for the future.
No one could have predicted the year we’ve had. Yet as a
business, we were fortunate enough to be in a position to
manage it. Over the past 10 years, Goodman has been steadily
laying the foundations for the decade ahead – this is how we’ve
always worked. Committing to the long term has put us in the
strong position that we are in today and it is what will allow us to
keeping building on our future successes.
Sincerely,

NEXT LEVEL
Goodman delivered a strong FY20 result. While the pandemic
brought some challenges, it also accelerated key societal changes
that are well aligned with Goodman’s existing direction and that
of our customers.
During the year, customer demand for our well-located industrial
properties translated into more development activity, high
occupancy, rental growth, increased assets under management
and, ultimately, strong returns across our property investment and
management businesses.
Own
A focus on infill locations
Customer demand for space in Goodman’s strategic locations
continued to grow due to the ongoing structural changes brought
about by changes in consumer behaviour. These changes
accelerated during the pandemic, as logistics and warehousing
provided critical infrastructure for distribution of essential goods,
and more consumers shifted to online shopping.
Over the medium to longer term, we expect significant
opportunities to arise through planning outcomes across our
$51.6 billion portfolio. This should facilitate redevelopment of
higher intensity multi-storey logistics facilities and data centres as
well as change of use into residential zoning. We are continually
progressing these opportunities through various planning stages.
Property investment highlights include:
+
+
High occupancy maintained at 97.5% and weighted average
lease expiry of 4.5 years
3.0 million sqm leased, equating to $401.7 million of annual
rental property income across the Group and Partnerships
+ Like-for-like net property income growth of 3.0%.*
With more than 1,700 customers, Goodman has a diverse
range of global and local customers across industries including
e-commerce, logistics, retail, consumer goods, automotive,
pharmaceutical and technology.

Strong growth in workbook to $6.5 billion
Development activity has been a clear driver of this year’s strong
results. Our work in progress reached $6.5 billion and we expect
it to exceed $7 billion in the first half of FY21.
We have seen solid margins and pre-leasing activity, while the
average lease term of 15.1 years is the longest it’s ever been.
We expect these longer leases to continue, as customers
choose higher value infill locations and invest more in technology
at their facilities.
Our development projects have increased in both scale and value,
with the average time for developments in progress increasing
to about 17 months. This gives greater visibility over development
activities going forward.
Other development highlights include:

Development completions and higher valuations
drive strong performance
Goodman delivered average total returns of 16.6% to our capital
Partners in their respective financial years, continuing the trend
of the last five years for double digit returns.
External assets under management grew 12% over FY20 to
$48 billion due to development completions and valuation gains
resulting from cap rate compression. The impact of COVID-19
further increased demand for industrial and logistics assets,
continuing to generate positive revaluations, which grew by
$2.9 billion this year.
The Group has invested more than $1.1 billion in its Partnerships
over the last two years, including $0.3 billion in FY20. This was
mainly to fund development opportunities, as well as incremental
acquisitions of properties with redevelopment opportunities over
the longer term.

STRATEGY IN PLACE
Communicating customer insights
While Goodman’s business has evolved over time, our fundamental
strategy has remained the same – to own high-quality properties
in strategic locations for our customers.
We’re continuously building a sustainable business for the long
term. We’ve grown from one industrial building in South Sydney,
Australia, purchased for less than $20 million in the mid 1980s,
to 392 properties in five regions across the world, worth more
than $51 billion.
Clear and ongoing communication with our customers is a core
part of how we operate. We conduct regular customer insight
meetings to provide our customers with the information they
need to not only track their spending and plan their budgets,
but to help them communicate with their people and plan for the
future. We discuss what’s happening in their property, their local
area and their industry. We also ask practical questions such as
“What more can Goodman do to lower your operating costs?”,
and “How can we help?”
Sustainability is consistently executed in all our regions, however
each emphasises different aspects to best suit its local market.
Helping our customers grow
Our customers want the most efficient supply chains possible
and to be close to their customers. With 5.8 million sqm across
our portfolio and the capacity to develop more, Goodman is in
an excellent position to provide the facility to suit our customers’
changing needs. Approximately 75% of our development
customers are from our existing customer base – evidence they
appreciate Goodman’s quality product and service.
Sustainability program
Reducing our environmental impact is vital to both Goodman
and our customers. We take a practical approach that manages
natural resources as the valuable assets they are, meeting both
our customers’ commercial and environmental needs. Our
sustainability program currently includes the management of
17,460 trees across the portfolio (around the same number of trees
as in New York’s Central Park), installation of 13MW of solar energy
(enough to power 3,900 homes) and smart irrigation systems
installed across 65 sites saving 40 million litres of water since
1 January 2020 – the equivalent of 16 Olympic swimming pools.

Goodman Group began in Australia where our sustainability
is founded on our long-term relationships with customers and
stakeholders. Some of these well-established relationships with
customers across a range of industries have been flourishing for
more than 20 years and have since expanded overseas.
Yet it’s the strength of these relationships that are most important
to us. We work to continuously improve our service, delivery and
communications to help our customers drive greater efficiencies
out of their properties. This extends to our sustainability program.
Long-term customer relationships
As Australia’s longest-running listed industrial property company,
Goodman has been fortunate to work with some customers for
decades. Iron Mountain – with us since 1992 – remains in its
original, albeit upgraded property, while also growing its footprint
with us across multiple facilities. Other long-term customers have
also we\moved within our portfolio as their businesses have grown
and their needs have changed including DHL (1998), Metcash
(1998), Visy (1998), Toll (1999), Linfox (2002), Coles (2007) and
Woolworths (2008).

Long-term community partnership with Kiwi Harvest
Since 2012, KiwiHarvest has collected and redistributed
4.1 million kgs of food, the equivalent of 10.5 million meals.
It’s an exceptional achievement only made possible through
the food contributions of over 250 donors and the collective
efforts of more than 300 volunteers and staff. The Goodman
Foundation was an early supporter, facilitating KiwiHarvest’s
expansion into Auckland in 2017 and its recent move to larger
premises at Goodman’s Highbrook Business Park in 2019.

Feeding the country through the New Zealand Food Network
Amplifying our work in reducing hunger, food waste and landfill,
Goodman has helped establish the New Zealand Food Network
(NZFN). NZFN collects quality surplus and donated bulk food
from producers, growers and wholesalers, then stores and
distributes it to food rescue organisations, iwi* and charities across
New Zealand from its Auckland warehouse. While two years in
the making, the launch was expedited to help meet the increased
demand caused by COVID-19.
* iwi is a Maori term referring to extended kinship groups or tribes.
As Goodman’s only listed entity outside Australia, Goodman
Property Trust works to deliver sustainable returns for not only
its unitholders, but also customers, people and the community.
Our New Zealand team believes sustainability is about long-term
thinking and leading by example – a business strategy that
delivers positive economic, environmental and social outcomes
for all its stakeholders.
Sustainable business strategy
Goodman in New Zealand has an investment strategy focused
on the Auckland industrial market. It provides customers with
high-quality business premises, close to major transport networks
in New Zealand’s largest consumer market. With demographic
changes and consumer behaviour driving the growth in online
retail, customer demand for well-located facilities, close to
consumers, exceeds supply in many locations across Auckland.
Managing our properties efficiently
Our ability to manage our assets over their lifecycle improves their
long-term environmental and financial performance. Ongoing
energy and waste monitoring across the portfolio allows us to
benchmark our assets against best-practice industry standards.
Energy consumption in FY20 was 74% less than in FY15 and
continues a five-year trend of falling emissions. New energy
efficiency initiatives, HVAC and building management system
upgrades along with divestments of office assets have all
contributed to the reduction.

Proximity to consumer concentrations
Goodman’s business in Asia spans Mainland China, Hong Kong
SAR and Japan. Our long-term strategy emphasises the
importance of locations, maintaining growth sustainably and
making safety a priority.
Our properties in Asia are designed to suit our customers’ needs
in land-constrained environments. They have high-quality
amenities to promote health and happiness and are designed
with a sustainable focus.
High-quality properties
Goodman Business Park in Greater Tokyo, Japan, approached
its design with innovative, contemporary flair. This multi-stage
project leads the way in its aesthetic, its customer amenities and
its sustainability features. The façade on Stage 4 of the park,
known as a tensile façade, is a new style of architecture for logistics
spaces. Not only aesthetically pleasing, it is also sustainable,
allowing more natural light to flow with less glare – providing solar
protection and energy savings. This complements the rooftop
solar panels and other sustainability initiatives, which add to its
impressive environmental credentials. All Goodman properties in
Japan are designed and certified to Comprehensive Assessment
System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE) standards.
With access to more than 1.5 billion consumers with a purchasing
power of $US9.2 trillion, it is crucial that Goodman’s Asian-based
customers are in the most urban areas, close to consumers. Our
properties are in the tier 1 cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu,
Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Tokyo and Osaka – cities with the largest
populations that are leveraging the latest consumer and technology
trends and driving the sustainable growth of our business.
Industry-leading safety program across Asia
With safety a priority across Goodman’s operations, our business
in Asia is focusing on bringing our global safety standards to
the region, constantly seeking innovation from development
projects through to building maintenance. For example, roof
height safety systems have been installed across Mainland China,
Hong Kong SAR and Japan to help safeguard the well-being
of maintenance teams and prevent falls while cleaning or during
maintenance inspections.

Giving new life to old sites
Sustainability is integrated into our European business strategy
and our portfolio is strategically located around the major
consumer markets of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Benelux
and the UK.
Designed, built and managed to last, these properties look to
integrate with the environment and the communities they're in,
while also incorporating the kinds of contemporary amenities
our customers seek.
Our sustainability focus in Europe is to transition to net zero
carbon emissions in our own office spaces as well as helping
our customers manage their own sustainability goals.
Environmental initiatives
To increase the sustainability and biodiversity of our properties,
we provide our customers with environmental and well-being
initiatives. These include 5.6MW of solar installed across the
European portfolio, installing electric vehicle charging stations
at all new developments, and landscaping tailored to local
conditions with a focus on native plants, beehives and wildflowers.
Our buildings are designed to sustainable building certification
standards so we can verify their quality and green credentials
with a minimum level of BREEAM Very Good or equivalent.
To maintain our concentration of strategic locations, Goodman
commonly transforms older sites into modern spaces. This is
known as a ‘brownfield development’ – as opposed to building on
a new – or ‘greenfield’ site. More than 50% of our developments
since 2015 have been brownfield sites, placing our customers
closer to their customers and improving their supply chain
efficiency and last mile delivery. Such projects can be challenging,
but lead to environmentally friendly and visually attractive sites that
often benefit the broader community too.
Goodman Energy Tracker roll out
To help our customers to proactively measure and optimise their
energy consumption, our European portfolio is being equipped
with smart meters. The Goodman Energy Tracker smart meter
measures electricity, gas and water usage. This visibility helps
our customers to manage costs, more easily complete their
environmental reporting and encourage behavioural change.
Currently, 25% of the European portfolio is connected to the
energy tracker with more being rolled out over the next year.

In the Americas, Goodman’s global gateway city strategy spans
the major consumer markets of Los Angeles, New York,
New Jersey and São Paulo. Our growth is prudent and organic.
We align our properties’ location with our customers’ future
direction, so together we can leverage structural and societal
changes such as the growth of e-commerce.
This delivers sustainable outcomes for our customers, while
protecting and enhancing the long-term value of our assets for
our investors.
Strategic acquisitions
Key to our strategy in the Americas is to concentrate on the markets
we believe will deliver over the long term. So, despite the size and
scale of the region, we are growing our business incrementally as
we focus specifically on strategic site selection. Our portfolio is
located close to large consumer populations, where land is scarce
and barriers to entry are high. Securing these sites allows us to
support our customers' current and future growth.
Regenerating and adding value to existing properties
In the United States, we have successfully acquired, upgraded
and repurposed buildings that meet our customers’ modern
requirements. By retrofitting existing warehouses, we are
prolonging their lifecycle and reusing existing materials, which
reduces construction waste, consumption and regenerates local
areas with upgraded façades and amenities.
Holistic community partnership
A great example of working closely with local communities is
our long-standing partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank
of Orange County, which works to fight hunger. We provide
in-kind support, with senior Goodman people on the
organisation’s board, while other Goodman people volunteer
to prep and distribute food. We supply cash grants to fund
innovative concepts too, such as ‘Park-It Market’ (a market
on wheels for seniors) and a COVID-19 drive through, where
people could collect groceries contact-free. Goodman’s most
recent donation resulted in 420,000 meals for those in
need in the local community.
Towards a greener future
We are increasing our green credentials across our property
portfolio in the Americas. Our tangible measures focus on
reduced energy consumption, such as upgrading lighting to
LED technology, and transitioning to using more renewable energy
through the installation of solar panels. We’re investing in initiatives
such as drought tolerant landscaping in the US and tree audits
and management in Brazil. And we’re working with customers
to reduce waste too, with 50% of the waste in our Brazilian
properties diverted to recycling.

2030 IN THE MAKING
2030 Sustainability Strategy
At Goodman we’re focused on building a sustainable business
for the long term. One that benefits our customers and delivers
returns for our investors.
Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy is one of the measures we hold
ourselves accountable to. It influences long-term outcomes across
the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) spectrum.
And it supports Goodman and its stakeholders deliver sustained
growth and develop ongoing resilience.
At Goodman, we believe it’s important to aim high. In FY20, we
accelerated our commitments to renewable energy and carbon
neutrality, and we improved the resilience of our workforce,
business, properties and communities.
Our targets are deliberately ambitious. We know continuing
to achieve them won’t be easy, but we also know if they were
anything less, we wouldn’t be aiming high enough.

Goodman’s 2030 Sustainability Strategy provides a clear direction
for the next decade. Led by this strategy, we are well positioned to
transition into a truly sustainable, resilient and low-carbon business.
The strategy focuses on our people and culture, how we engage
with our stakeholders and how we remain a trusted partner in the
broader community. It influences our property locations as well as
how they:
+
+
+
Are built, powered, operated and respond
to the changing climate
Interact with the surrounding community
Support our customers’ well-being.
Accelerating progress
As the global landscape changes, so must we. Goodman’s 2030
Sustainability Strategy increases our commitments and accelerates
our progress with clearly defined targets to hold ourselves
accountable, under three pillars.
Notably, by 2025, our aim is to have 400MW of solar PV capacity
installed on Goodman’s properties – up substantially from our
previous commitment of 100MW. This will be achieved primarily
through solar investments, generating enough energy to power
about 120,000 houses for a year. In addition, our aim by 2025 is
to be using 100% renewable energy and be carbon neutral.
Looking back to the year that was, the Group has also:
+
Increased both financial and non-financial support through
the Goodman Foundation to $13.7 million. This is focusing
on disaster relief, particularly from the impact of the Australian
bushfires and COVID-19
Completed our global climate risk assessment in accordance
with TCFD recommendations two years ahead of our target.
+
The strategy is structured around three pillars.
Sustainable properties
Our sustainably designed, energy-efficient and professionally
managed properties are strategically located to meet the business,
health and well-being needs of our customers, and to remain
resilient to tomorrow’s global challenges.
People and culture
Our workplaces promote the health, safety and well-being of our
people and our customers. Our people are recruited and rewarded
based on their commitment to our values, their local expertise and
their long-term strategic and ethical thinking.
Corporate performance
Our capital structure is sustainable and we have a positive impact
in our global communities through the Goodman Foundation.
We promote strong leadership and governance, engage regularly
with our stakeholders and measure and disclose our financial and
community impact.

Backed by targets that address material issues Goodman has
always practiced long-term thinking. Our sustainability targets
therefore consider material issues that will continue to shape
Goodman as a resilient and sustainable business. During the
year, Goodman focused on the material ESG issues that are
fundamental to building its long-term value and sustainable
performance. They reflect our company principles as well as
input from our stakeholders.
Addressing the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) act as a universal
call to action to address the world’s most significant challenges
including climate change, poverty, gender equality and good health
and well-being for all. During the year, Goodman continued to be
guided by nine of the 17 SDGs, which were identified as most
material to our global business, customers and charity partners.

Goodman’s values and our corporate culture
Goodman’s highest priority during this challenging year was to
support our people and our stakeholders.
Fortunately, our corporate culture and values helped bond our
teams around the world, while our agile working platform enabled
us to adapt to the new working arrangements made necessary
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our commitment to well-being and long-term thinking extends
beyond just our people. Increasingly, developments across our
portfolio feature well-being initiatives that benefit our customers
too. These include health and recreation facilities, high-quality
breakout spaces and, where possible, services like gymnasiums
and cafés.
Goodman strives for a safe work culture with zero onsite fatalities
across our global operations. We are working on gender equality
in senior executive roles and prioritising human rights and business
ethics in our supply chain.

Managing climate risk – TCFD disclosures
Goodman’s global success in the industrial real estate sector is
founded on our capabilities and expertise, as well as our robust
governance structures. Everyone at Goodman plays a role in
how we sustain our high-performing operations, capital sources
and creditworthiness.
Goodman knows its properties are exposed to the impacts of
various climatic conditions across its diverse operating regions.
We acknowledge that tragic events such as the recent bushfires
in Australia are linked to a changing climate and similar events are
likely in the future.
We engage regularly with our key stakeholders and disclose our
ESG performance to maintain the trust of our capital partners
and customers. Meanwhile, our financial resilience means we can
continue to increase the tangible difference we are making to the
lives of vulnerable people through the Goodman Foundation.
GRESB is the leading ESG survey for the real estate sector and
is one of the main methods Goodman uses to communicate its
performance on ESG matters. The benchmark analyses and
scores a wide range of ESG indicators and provides detailed
insights to investors. In 2019, Goodman Group was awarded
Global Sector Leader in the Industrial – Developer category.

During the year, Goodman worked with environmental
consultant South Pole to complete a comprehensive climate
risk assessment in accordance with TCFD guidelines. We did
this to better understand the potential impacts of various climate
scenarios, to find opportunities to mitigate long-term impacts and,
ultimately, to influence the location, design and management of
Goodman’s properties.
Quantifying climate risks across multiple global regions is a
challenge, particularly on larger continents that are subject to
various conditions and incidents at the same time. However,
we identified the following climate hazards in our climate risk
assessment, based on different scenarios of carbon mitigation
over different timeframes:
Increasing temperatures and heatwaves
Intense precipitation
+
+
+ Hailstorms
+ Tropical and ex-tropical windstorms
+ Rising sea levels.

FURTHER TOGETHER
Community and community health
The Goodman Foundation unites our people, properties and
resources to make a tangible difference to the lives of people in our
communities. Through our partnerships with an exceptional group
of charities, we’re able to make a real difference, where and when
it matters most.
In this extraordinary year, with the Australian bushfires and the
COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for the services of many of our
partners intensified. The financial strength of the group, however,
meant the Foundation was well positioned to commit to an
increased effort, with a focus on critical areas in times of disaster –
mental health, distribution of food and essential goods, vulnerable
people and domestic violence.
How we help
The Goodman Foundation offers support to charities within three
key areas: Children and youth, Community and community health
and Food rescue and environment.
Support can take the form of:
+
Cash grants – Provided to fund identified projects
or needs over one to three years
Do good – Goodman team volunteering or fundraising
for charities
Give back – Workplace giving schemes that match staff
contributions dollar for dollar
In-kind – Donating our expertise, warehouse space
or other critical items.
+
+

Fareshare Australia, Feeding Hong Kong, Good360 Australia,
KiwiHarvest, OzHarvest, Second Harvest Food Bank of
Orange County, The Generous and Grateful, Thread Together,

Goodman’s people also volunteered their time. As an example,
Matt Devlin, based in Sydney, spent three weeks battling blazes
as a NSW RFS volunteer firefighter. Supported at every stage
through the Goodman Foundation’s Do Good program, and
the wider business, Matt suffered no financial impact, and
Goodman was able to contribute to work that profoundly
benefited the broader community.
In July, Goodman was one of 12 companies to receive the
2020 NSW RFS Supportive Employer Award.
A DEVASTATING FIRE SEASON
Australia’s bushfires burnt from September 2019 to March 2020.
The environmental and emotional impact of the fires was
unprecedented, covering 12 million hectares and killing
33 people, destroying over 3,000 homes and killing or
displacing approximately 3 billion native animals. They also
severely impacted local economies, including regional areas
across the country.
In response to the devastation, Goodman pledged an initial
$5 million to bushfire recovery efforts, which we then increased
to $6.5 million.
This was split between the more urgent grassroots efforts
of organisations such as the NSW Farmers Federation and
Good360 Australia, and infrastructure aiding the longer-term
firefighting efforts of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS).
Meanwhile, the Goodman team fundraised to support
BlazeAid’s efforts to rebuild fences and essential infrastructure,
and Good360 Australia in the distribution of critical items for
displaced families.

Grants for fire-affected farmers
THE RIGHT SOLUTION
The 2019–2020 bushfires had a significant impact on agriculture
and farmers in NSW, affecting 15,994 primary producers. The fires
destroyed around 60,000 hectares of prime farmland, more than
13,000 cattle and sheep perished, orchards and beehives burnt
and incomes evaporated.
To directly help farmers to recover, NSW Farmers Federation set up
a natural disaster relief fund. The Goodman Foundation’s $750,000
donation boosted the fund to more than $1 million, which was
distributed as grants to 357 primary producers. The payments
were put to practical use in replacing stock, fencing, hay reserves,
rainwater tanks, cattle water troughs and beekeeping equipment.
“We lost our home along with all our honey production sheds,
machinery and equipment,” said Peter McGann of Mogo Village
Honey. “We used the grant to buy a couple of shipping containers
and converted them into packing and extracting sheds. We’re also
buying new equipment to resume our beekeeping and
honey production.”
HELP IS ON ITS WAY
During the Australian bushfires of 2019–2020, it became
clear the Foundation wanted to make a tangible, long-term
contribution to support communities impacted by the bushfires.
With that in mind, Goodman contributed the largest corporate
donation ever to the NSW RFS with the purchase of a state-of-
the-art firefighting helicopter.
The multi-purpose helicopter is known as the go-to aircraft –
a workhorse of the industry – with a reputation for performing
reliably in the most extreme environments. It is designed to
get firefighters into hard-to-reach places, and get people
out of harm's way. The chopper will be equipped with a full
range of features such as winch, belly tank for water bombing,
surveillance camera for use in firefighting operations, search
and rescue, and down the wire insertions and extractions. Its
extensive functionality means it can be deployed all year round
in tactical and response operations.
Goodman was committed to doing something substantial to
help. “During the devastating and unprecedented bushfires
earlier in the year, we felt strongly about supporting the NSW
RFS with something that will have a sustainable impact on its
work and the communities it serves,” said Greg Goodman.
NSW RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers welcomed the addition
to the fleet. “It’s fantastic to have the support of the Goodman
Foundation through this first of its kind partnership approach.
The new helicopter will be a valuable additional resource for
us to protect people in the communities we serve. We know
helicopters can play a key role in delivering early, impactful
action on a developing fire,” said Rob. Also adding, “51 people
were rescued by helicopters last fire season. While the current
chopper can take up to four crew, the new model can carry
as many as seven – meaning more room to rescue large
groups of people. The helicopter will also be used out of
fire season to support emergency services in other rescue
operations such as floods.”
The problem
+
+
+
After a disaster, 70% of donations stop after the first
two months
Poor co-ordination and uninformed giving can create
chaos and inefficiency
Up to 60% of goods donated during disasters end up
in landfill or and are otherwise wasted.
The solution
+
+
+
Good360 Australia matches brand new goods to the right
people at the right time, to prevent waste and provide hope
and dignity
Good360 Australia works with a vetted network of more
than 2,000 not-for-profits and disadvantaged schools that
know exactly what their communities need
Good360 Australia matches goods throughout the entire
disaster relief lifecycle – prepare, respond, recover, rebuild,
refurnish and relive.
In the wake of any disaster, people want to help and often
donate goods impulsively. Their generosity can easily be
misplaced though, if they’re not giving what’s needed.
That’s where Good360 Australia comes in.
Since 2015, and with Goodman as a founding partner,
Good360 Australia has been connecting new goods, donated
by businesses, to a network of charities and schools that
support Australians in need. In the midst of this year’s bushfires,
however, they realised they needed to step up their efforts.
“We came back in January saying, ‘we have to do more’,”
said Alison Covington, Good360 Australia’s Founder and
Managing Director.
With Goodman’s support, Good360 Australia set up a disaster
recovery arm to get the right goods to the right people at the
right time. “Disasters are a marathon not a sprint and it’s really
important to stage giving over the long-term recovery process,”
says Alison.
In January, Good360 Australia moved into a custom-built
warehouse, donated by Goodman, where it could more
effectively centralise its aid. “Having a high-quality warehouse
has been a game-changer,” said Alison. “We are pinching
ourselves every time we walk in.” The warehouse includes a
volunteering space, a place to engage with the community,
a product storage zone and an area for ‘click and collect’.
When COVID-19 first struck Australia in March, there was a
200% increase in requests for support. To help meet demand,
Goodman provided additional financial support so Good360
Australia could scale up labour and logistics support. One
example has been in the delivery of 65,777 educational kits to
151 charities and schools to support struggling families with
home schooling during the pandemic.
“Goodman’s support of our growth, from day one, has meant
we can be more impactful every year,” said Alison, “which is an
amazing gift to the Australians that Good360 helps.”

Annual Report 2020
FACING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
A safe haven for vulnerable women and children
The COVID-19 pandemic presented many of our charity partners
with a colossal challenge. As demand for their services peaked,
their cash flow, volunteer resources and fundraising options
plummeted. While Goodman focused on helping its customers,
the Foundation looked to support key partners navigate the crisis.
We helped Cerebral Palsy Alliance make the switch from
face-to-face to online support and Raise Foundation ensure
‘at risk’ high school students were able to continue their
mentoring programs online.
When the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games were postponed by one
year in March, we helped Paralympics Australia avoid unplanned
storage fees for its competition equipment. We provided pro-bono
warehouse space and financial relief that allowed the team to focus
on keeping its athletes fit and motivated.
For charity partners occupying space in Goodman-managed office
or warehouse facilities, including OzHarvest, Special Olympics,
Fred Hollows Foundation and Windgap, the Foundation provided
significant additional financial support to help them manage their
shortfall in critical revenue due to cancelled fundraising events.
In Europe, the Foundation contributed to street nurse charity,
Infirmiers de Rue, to support homeless people in Belgium, as well
as to the efforts of SOS Children’s Villages in France, Belgium and
Germany to support schooling from home.
Meanwhile, in, California, Goodman helped food re-distribution
service, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, prevent
looming food shortages by purchasing four truckloads of food
while some of the Irvine-based Goodman team volunteered to
pack and distribute essential food supplies.
The Foundation’s work in food redistribution ramped up in other
parts of the world too, with charities OzHarvest, UK Harvest and
KiwiHarvest also seeing increased demand.
Early in the pandemic, experts predicted a rise in the need
for safe spaces for those experiencing domestic violence.
Recognising this, the Goodman Foundation engaged with
Women's Community Shelters (WCS) in Sydney to identify
vulnerable women. These were women who were at significant
risk of family violence and often the first category of people
facing unemployment, but were not eligible for any social funding
programs or government assistance.
Using Goodman’s dedicated grant over three years, WCS
established a Women Without Income program to help around
30 families access safety in shelters, support essential medical or
legal help, and also to transition other families to independent living.
“Through the Women Without Income program, we’ve immediately
been able to support women and children who really had nowhere
else to turn,” said Annabelle Daniel, WCS Chief Executive Officer.
“We’ve provided support including bonds for independent housing,
funds for critical medication and furniture for new homes.”
Stepping up support for Cerebral Palsy Alliance
Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) offers intervention, therapy and all
the benefits of its world-leading research to children and adults
living with cerebral palsy. Over the five years that Goodman has
been a global sponsor of CPA’s leading health and wellness
fundraising event, STEPtember, Goodman has helped raise millions
through its own global fundraising efforts, as well as those from
additional contributors brought on board through the Friends of
Goodman initiative.
About $800,000 was donated during Goodman's 2019
STEPtember campaign alone. However this wasn’t a normal year,
with the pandemic shutting down options for all of CPA’s onsite
therapy visits. CPA identified 400 vulnerable families who urgently
needed to continue their life-changing therapy and Goodman
furthered its support beyond STEPtember to help CPA complete a
swift pivot to Telepractice delivery.
“Thanks to Goodman’s incredible generosity, we were able to
provide 220 families, some the most vulnerable in our community,
with the tools they need to be able to access therapy at home
for their children,” said Rob White, CPA Chief Executive Officer.
“Telepractice has been a life changer for these families, not
only supporting their child’s therapy needs but also ensuring
connectedness and support for the whole family.”

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
The directors (Directors) of Goodman Limited (ABN 69 000 123 071)
and Goodman Funds Management Limited (GFML), the responsible
entity for Goodman Industrial Trust (ARSN 091 213 839), present
their Directors’ report together with the consolidated financial
statements of Goodman Limited and the entities it controlled
(Goodman or Group) and the consolidated financial statements
of Goodman Industrial Trust and the entities it controlled (GIT) at
the end of, or during, the financial year ended 30 June 2020 (FY20)
and the audit report thereon.
Shares in Goodman Limited (Company or GL), units in Goodman
Industrial Trust (Trust) and CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) over
shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (GLHK) are stapled to
one another and are quoted as a single security on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX). In respect of stapling arrangements,
Australian Accounting Standards require an acquirer to be
identified and an in-substance acquisition to be recognised and
accordingly Goodman Limited is identified as having acquired
control over the assets of GIT and GLHK. The consolidated
financial statements of Goodman Limited therefore include the
results of GIT and GLHK.
As permitted by the relief provided in Australian Securities
& Investments Commission (ASIC) Instrument 18-0353, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements present both the
financial statements and accompanying notes of Goodman and
GIT. GLHK, which is incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong,
prepares its financial statements under Hong Kong Financial
Reporting Standards and the applicable requirements of the
Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and accordingly the financial
statements of GLHK have not been included as adjacent columns
in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements
of GLHK have been included as an appendix to this financial report.
GFML, as responsible entity for the Trust, is solely responsible
for the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial
report of GIT, in accordance with the Trust’s Constitution and the
Corporations Act 2001.

Operating profit per security (operating EPS) is the operating profit divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue during FY20, including securities
relating to performance rights that have not yet vested but where the performance hurdles have been achieved. Operating profit comprises profit attributable to
Securityholders adjusted for net property valuations gains, non-property impairment losses, net gains/losses from the fair value movements on derivative financial
instruments and unrealised fair value and foreign exchange movements on interest bearing liabilities and other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items
e.g. the share based payments expense associated with Goodman’s LTIP.
The Directors consider that Goodman’s operating profit is a key measure by which to examine the underlying performance of the business, notwithstanding that
operating profit is not an income measure under International Financial Reporting Standards.
Development work in progress is the end value of ongoing developments across Goodman and its investments in associates and joint ventures (referred to as Partnerships).
Gearing is calculated as total interest bearing liabilities over total assets, both net of cash and the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments included in
other financial assets of $292.5 million (2019: $222.4 million). Total interest bearing liabilities are grossed up for the fair values of certain derivative financial instruments
included in other financial liabilities of $194.0 million (2019: $123.6 million).
Interest cover is operating profit before net finance expense (operating) and income tax (operating) divided by adjusted net finance expense (operating). Adjusted net
finance expense excludes capitalised borrowing costs.

Overview
The Board acknowledges the unprecedented times the world
is experiencing and the terrible impact COVID-19 is having on
people’s lives and livelihoods. Goodman’s markets have been
affected at various times and to varying degrees, but the Group
has adapted to this new operating environment with limited
disruption and has continued to grow the business sustainably
for the long term. Goodman plays an important role in providing
both essential infrastructure and making a tangible difference for
customers in the cities in which the Group operates.
Over the past decade, the Group has established significant
human capital, financial resources and a well located real
estate portfolio, to sustain the business through market cycles.
This is reflected in the results for the financial year with Goodman
reporting operating profit of $1,060.2 million, compared to
$942.3 million for the prior year, an increase of 12.5%. This
equates to an operating EPS of 57.5 cents, up 11.4% on FY19.
Goodman’s statutory profit attributable to Securityholders for FY20
was $1,504.1 million, a decrease of $123.8 million compared with
FY19. This included the Group’s share of property valuation gains,
net of deferred tax, of $621.3 million and the accounting expense of
the Goodman LTIP of $164.0 million. There was also a $6.8 million
fair value gain on derivatives which is included in the statutory profit
but excluded from the calculation of operating profit. The decrease
in statutory profit compared to FY19 was principally due to the
lower property valuation gains in FY20.
Goodman has achieved this result while maintaining the prudent
metrics in accordance with its financial risk management policy.
At 30 June 2020, gearing remained low at 7.5% and the funds
available to the Group for future investment were $2.8 billion. On
14 July 2020, a notice of early redemption was issued in relation
to the total of the US$174.5 million (A$253.3 million) outstanding
principal amount of the bonds due for payment in 15 April 2021.
This transaction is due to settle in August 2020, which would have
a commensurate pro-forma impact on liquidity. Over $2.0 billion of
the Group’s total of $2.6 billion of remaining bonds have maturities
of more than five years from 30 June 2020.
Dividends and distributions relating to FY20 were maintained
at 30 cents per security, equivalent to 52% of operating profit.
The cash retained in the business is consistent with the financial
risk management targets and is considered appropriate given
the significant development activity and the commensurate growth
in investments that is expected in the near term.

“own+develop+manage”
The Group’s focus on urban locations to efficiently service
consumers has provided resilient cashflows across the global
portfolio. This is particularly important in uncertain times, with
Goodman’s assets providing critical infrastructure for delivery of
essential goods and services.
The Group has experienced increased demand for both temporary
and permanent space from customers in the food, consumer
goods and logistics sectors, particularly related to e-commerce
operators and those transitioning to online. The portfolio
occupancy has remained stable at 97.5%, with like for like NPI
growth during FY20 at 3% and, in general, there was relatively
limited closure or disruption of Goodman’s warehouse facilities over
the past few months.
Where Goodman’s most vulnerable customers have been
significantly impacted by the lockdowns and the economic impacts
of the pandemic, then Goodman has worked with them to provide
rental assistance. This includes complying with any local legislation,
with support in the form of rent abatement, rent deferral or lease
restructure. However, the impacts in FY20 have not been material in
the context of the Group’s reported operating profit and net assets.
Furthermore, many of Goodman’s customers have continued to
progress discussions regarding demand for new space in line with
ongoing supply chain consolidation, online expansion and growth
in the digital economy. This has given the Group confidence to
grow its WIP to $6.5 billion at 30 June 2020. The Group continues
to mitigate its development risk through global diversification and
sharing the opportunities with its investment partners, undertaking
79% of developments within the Partnerships at 30 June 2020.
WIP is 76% pre-committed at 30 June 2020, with uncommitted
space representing only 2% of total global portfolio area.
This continued customer demand for industrial space has seen a
strong property valuation result for the financial year. The uplift in
2H was $257.6 million, despite the economic impacts arising from
the pandemic. During FY20, the weighted average capitalisation
rate of the stabilised assets in the Goodman portfolios contracted
from 5.1% to 4.9%.
23
Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Operating and financial review (continued)
Goodman’s external AUM during FY20 increased by 12% to
$48.0 billion at 30 June 2020 from $42.9 billion, which resulted
in higher base management fee revenue in FY20. The increase
in AUM was primarily a result of continued development activity
and the property valuation uplifts on both stabilised assets and
development completions. The Group’s Partnerships again
reported strong total returns and as a consequence, management
earnings for FY20 included portfolio performance fee revenue of
$207.2 million.
While the Group’s portfolios are largely concentrated in key
urban centres, Goodman has continued to rotate assets where
longer-term returns are projected to be lower than the Group’s
and the Partnership’s targets.
Analysis of performance
Goodman’s key operating regions are Australia and New Zealand
(reported on a combined basis), Asia (Greater China and Japan),
Continental Europe (with the vast majority of assets located in
Germany and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (North
America and Brazil). The operational performance can be analysed
into property investment earnings, management earnings and
development earnings, and the Directors consider this presentation
of the consolidated results facilitates a better understanding of the
underlying performance of Goodman given the differing nature of
and risks associated with each earnings stream.
Property investment earnings consist of gross property income
(excluding straight lining of rental income), less property expenses,
plus Goodman’s share of the operating results of Partnerships
that is allocable to property investment activities which excludes
the Group’s share of property revaluations and derivative mark to
market movements. The key drivers for maintaining or growing
Goodman’s property investment earnings are increasing the level
of AUM (subject also to Goodman’s direct and indirect interest),
maintaining or increasing occupancy and rental levels within the
portfolio, and operating and financing costs within Partnerships.
Management earnings relate to the revenue from managing both
the property portfolios and the capital invested in Partnerships
(management income). This includes performance related revenues
but excludes earnings from managing development activities
in Partnerships, which are included in development earnings.
The key drivers for maintaining or growing management earnings
are activity levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of
AUM, which can be impacted by property valuations and asset
disposals and is also dependent on liquidity including the continued
availability of third party capital to fund both development activity
and acquisitions across Goodman’s Partnerships.
Development earnings consist of development income, plus
Goodman’s share of the operating results of Partnerships that is
allocable to development activities, plus net gains or losses from
disposals of investment properties and equity investments that are
allocable to development activities, less development expenses.
Development income includes development management fees
and also performance related revenues associated with managing
development activity in Partnerships. The key drivers for Goodman’s
development earnings are the level of development activity, land
and construction prices, property valuations and the continued
availability of third party capital to fund development activity.

In FY19, one of the Partnerships exchanged contracts to sell a development property to a third party. In the period between exchange and settlement, the Group
recognised its $14.4 million share of fair value gain in respect of the property. Settlement occurred in 1H20 and this gain has been categorised as development
earnings in the FY20 analysis of the Group’s performance. The share of fair value adjustments attributable to investment properties in Partnerships has been reduced
by $14.4 million.
Net finance expense (operating) excludes derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements.
Income tax expense (operating) excludes the deferred tax movements relating to investment property valuations and other non-operating items.
25
The more significant component of the Group’s investment
earnings is from its cornerstone interests in the managed
Partnerships, where earnings from the stabilised assets increased
by $48.6 million to $346.7 million compared to the prior year.
In addition to the favourable impact of foreign currency translation
on the overseas earnings, there were two main operational factors
for this increase. The first was the stabilisation of developments
during both FY19 and FY20. Goodman has continued to be a
net investor in the Partnerships to fund developments and new
acquisitions. The second was the rental income growth from
existing stabilised properties. Net property income from the
Partnership portfolios was up 3% on a like for like basis in FY20
compared to FY19. Occupancy remained stable and was 97.5%
at 30 June 2020 (2019: 97.6%).
The returns from the Partnerships are also impacted by the level
of debt in each Partnership. Gearing has been maintained at the
lower end of target ranges, which continues to be appropriate
given the ongoing development activity and the aim of Goodman
and its investment partners to position the Partnerships for
sustainable long-term growth. However, during FY20 certain of the
Partnerships did raise new debt, including the first debt issuance
by Goodman North America Partnership (GNAP). The operating
return on Goodman’s investment in the stabilised portfolios held by
the Partnerships was 4.9% compared to 4.9% in FY19, as growth
in net property income and the capital management initiatives in
the Partnerships offset the impacts of the valuation growth that
increased the investment base.
During FY20, the Group’s share of property valuations from
the stabilised portfolios (pre deferred tax) was $551.1 million,
including valuation uplifts on new developments that reached
completion. Valuation gains occurred across all the Group’s
regions, a combination of both capitalisation rate compression
and the growth in rental income. At 30 June 2020, the WACR
for the Group’s portfolios was 4.9%, compared to 5.1% at the
start of FY20.

The Group’s property portfolios are concentrated in large, urban
centres around the world where demand from customers has
put pressure on land use and availability. Customers, including
e-commerce, are continuing to invest in order to improve the
efficiency of their supply chains and data centre users are
looking to expand their operations. During 2H, as the COVID-19
pandemic accelerated the shift in consumer purchasing habits
to online shopping, Goodman has seen increased demand for
both temporary and permanent space from customers in the
food, consumer goods and logistics sectors, particularly related to
e-commerce operators and those transitioning to online.
Despite the lockdowns and other restrictions that all major
economies have experienced in the past few months, there
has been relatively limited closure or disruption of Goodman’s
warehouse facilities and the financial impact on the Group has
not been significant in the context of its consolidated results and
financial position.
Where the Group’s most vulnerable customers have been
impacted by the pandemic, then Goodman has worked with them
to provide rental assistance, which includes compliance with local
legislation. In the majority of cases, assistance has been in the
form of rent deferral or lease restructure. To date, the rate of rental
delinquency has not had a material impact on the Group.
The directly held properties are primarily in Australia and have
potential for significant long-term growth, from the redevelopment
to more intense or higher and better uses. The increase in
earnings from the directly held properties was mainly driven by the
completion of developments with some underlying rental growth.
26
Management
Management earnings in FY20 of $511.2 million increased by 8.8%
compared to the prior year and comprised 34% of total operating
earnings (2019: 35%). The translation of the overseas earnings had
a favourable impact compared to the prior year, however, the main
driver of management earnings was the increase in external AUM.
During FY20, external AUM increased by 12% to $48.0 billion from
$42.9 billion as set out below:

Base management fee income, earned from the overall
management of the Group’s Partnerships, increased in line with
the external AUM. This was supplemented by both property
services income, which increased in line with the gross property
income in Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees
and transactional fees.
In addition, the consistently high Partnership returns over the past
few years again resulted in a strong contribution from performance
fee revenue, which was relatively stable at $207.2 million (FY19:
$204.3 million).These performance fees arose primarily in Australia/
New Zealand, Asia and Continental Europe.
For FY20, the Partnerships reported average total returns of 16.6%
(2019: 15.9%).
Development
In FY20, development earnings were $575.7 million (excluding
revaluation gains), an increase of 13.1% on the prior year and
comprised 38% of total operating earnings (2019: 38%). The
increase in the Group’s earnings was primarily volume driven
with the overall project returns relatively consistent with the prior
year. Foreign currency translation of overseas earnings also had
a favourable impact on earnings compared to the prior year.
The scale of the Group’s development projects has continued to
grow due to the high value nature of the sites and the complexity
associated with development of infill locations. In the final quarter
of the year, a number of high value projects commenced such
that by 30 June 2020, WIP was $6.5 billion across 46 projects.
During FY20, total project commencements were $4.5 billion,
with completions of $2.4 billion.
Annual Report 2020
The majority of inventory disposals and fixed price contract
income arose in Europe, as Partnerships in Continental Europe
generally acquire completed developments from Goodman.
In the Group’s other operating segments, development earnings
are a mix of development management income, including
performance related income, and transactional activity, including
the Group’s share of development profits reported by Partnerships
themselves. Consistent with the prior year, the majority of
development activity in FY20 was undertaken by Partnerships
(79% of WIP at 30 June 2019).
Consistent with the Group’s strategy, development activity has
been focused on key urban centres, where customer demand
is high and the supply of available land is restricted. In locations,
such as Japan and North America, this has allowed the Group
to commence certain projects prior to pre-lease commitments.
Nevertheless, 76% of WIP was pre-committed at 30 June 2020.
Operating expenses
For FY20, operating expenses increased to $292.3 million from
$267.7 million. The majority of the operating expenses related
to remuneration costs which increased to $203.7 million from
$191.9 million as a result of modest inflation pressure, and the
impact of a weaker Australian dollar on the translation of the
overseas costs. Headcount was maintained in most divisions,
with increases in Continental Europe and the Americas to support
the growth in those regions. The Group’s aim is to keep base
remuneration costs relatively steady, and instead use variable
costs to incentivise staff.
Administrative expenses also increased in FY20. In addition to
the impact of the weaker Australian dollar on the translation of the
overseas costs, the main increases related to compliance costs,
insurance premiums and charitable donations. During 2H20,
Goodman made additional donations to certain of its charitable
partners to help support them during the COVID-19 pandemic
and a significant donation to the New South Wales Rural Fire
Service to purchase and equip a new helicopter to assist in fighting
future bushfires.
Net finance expense (operating)
Net finance expense (operating), which excluded derivative mark
to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, increased
to $70.8 million from $45.9 million. This was due to lower interest
received on the Group’s cash and higher borrowing expenses on
the Group’s foreign denominated loans and derivatives due mainly
to the impact of the lower Australian dollar.
Income tax expense (operating)
Income tax expense (operating) for FY20 at $88.8 million (2019:
$95.1 million) decreased compared to the prior year. A significant
proportion of Goodman’s earnings related to GIT and its controlled
entities, which, as trusts, are “flow through” entities under
Australian tax legislation, meaning Securityholders (and not GIT)
are taxed on their respective share of income. However, the
decrease in the tax expense was primarily due to the nature and
location of the Group’s development revenues.

Capital management
Interest bearing liabilities
At 30 June 2020, the Group’s available debt facilities and fixed rate
long-term bonds, which totalled $4.0 billion (of which $2.9 billion
had been drawn), had a weighted average maturity of 5.8 years.
The Group’s cash and undrawn bank facilities were $2.8 billion.
Subsequent to 30 June 2020, the Group has initiated the process
to redeem bonds of $253.3 million that were due to expire in
15 April 2021. This is expected to conclude in 14 August 2020.
At 30 June 2020, gearing was 7.5% (2019: 9.7%), which
continued to be at the lower end of the Group’s policy range of
0% to 25%. Interest cover was 15.3 times (2019: 19.6 times) and
the Group continued to have significant headroom relative to its
financing covenants. Goodman’s credit ratings were unchanged
over the period.
During FY20, the Group and its Partnerships refinanced
over $3.1 billion of bank debt and secured third party equity
commitments of $2.5 billion to provide liquidity for ongoing
acquisition and development opportunities.
Dividends and distributions
The Group’s distribution for FY20 was maintained at 30 cents
per security, a pay-out ratio of 52%, with 15 cents paid on
25 February 2020 and 15 cents to be paid on 28 August 2020.
This pay-out ratio has assisted the Group in retaining sufficient
funds for its ongoing development activity and in keeping gearing
at an appropriate level, within the desired range. The distribution
reinvestment plan was not in operation during the year.
In respect of the separate components that comprise the
30 cents per security:
+
+

Goodman Limited did not declare any dividends during the
financial year (2019: $nil).
Goodman Industrial Trust declared and accrued distributions
of 26.0 cents per security (2019: 25.0 cents per security),
amounting to $475.4 million (2019: $453.5 million).
GLHK declared and accrued a dividend of 4.0 cents
per security (2019: 5.0 cents per security), amounting to
$73.1 million (2019: $90.7 million).

Summary of items that reconcile operating profit
to statutory profit
Property valuation related movements
The net gain from fair value adjustments on investment properties
of $45.2 million (2019: $146.8 million) related to those assets
directly held by Goodman, principally in Sydney, Australia. The
uplift in value was due to both rental growth and a contraction in
capitalisation rates.
Goodman’s share of net gains from fair value adjustments
after tax attributable to investment properties in Partnerships
was $591.7 million. While this has decreased from $746.6
million in FY19, this represents a strong result in the current
environment, a reflection of the quality of the property portfolios
and the continued customer and investor demand for industrial
assets. The valuation uplift in FY20 included $182 million (2019:
$171 million) from the Group’s share of completed and ongoing
development activity in the Partnerships.
The majority of the uplift on the stabilised portfolios in FY20 was
recorded in the first half of the year. However, despite the economic
uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, the valuations of
the Group’s portfolios have been in line or slightly increased from
pre-COVID levels. In most regions, there has been transactional
evidence to support the valuation results at 30 June 2020.
At 30 June 2020, the WACR for Goodman’s stabilised property
portfolios (both directly held and Partnerships) decreased from
5.1% to 4.9%.
There were no impairment losses associated with the Group’s
inventories during FY20.
Fair value adjustments and unrealised foreign currency
exchange movements related to liability management
The amount reported in the income statement associated
with the Group’s derivative financial instruments was a net gain of
$6.8 million. Despite the volatility in foreign currency exchange rates
during the second half of FY20, this relatively small net impact was
due to the fact that the rates at the end the year were similar to
those at the start of FY20 for most denominations.
Under the Group’s policy, it continues to hedge between 65%
and 90% of the net investment in its overseas businesses. Where
Goodman invests in foreign assets, it will borrow in that currency
or enter into derivative financial instruments to create a similar
liability. In so doing, Goodman reduces its net asset and income
exposures to those currencies. The unrealised fair value movement
of the derivative financial instruments (up or down) is recorded in
the income statement; however, the foreign currency translation
of the net investment that is being hedged is recorded directly in
reserves. In FY20, the movement in reserves attributable to foreign
currency movements was a loss of $26.7 million, a relatively small
net impact in the context of the Group’s overall foreign net assets.
Annual Report 2020
Other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items
The principal other non-cash adjustments or non-recurring
items for FY20 related to the share based payments expense of
$164.0 million for Goodman’s LTIP, down from $196.6 million in
FY19. This decrease primarily relates to the introduction of fixed
longer-term earnings per share hurdles associated with the awards
made during FY20 and the fact that the Goodman Group security
price decreased from $15.03 to $14.85 during FY20 compared to
an increase from $9.62 to $15.03 in FY19. The introduction of the
fixed operating EPS hurdle has decreased the likelihood of it being
achieved and at 30 June 2020 the Group has assessed this
probability to be 50%.

The Group’s cash and interest bearing liabilities should
be considered together. On a net basis, the liability was
$1,156.6 million at 30 June 2020 compared to $1,367.9 million
at 30 June 2019. This reduction in the net liability reflects strong
operating cash inflows, which funded both the Group’s net
investment in Partnerships and the dividends/distributions to
Securityholders. The net cash inflow for FY20 was $189.6 million.
Other assets included receivables and the fair values of derivative
financial instruments that are in an asset position. The derivatives
financial instruments, both those in an asset and those in a liability
position, are in place to hedge the Group’s interest rate and foreign
exchange rate risks.
Other liabilities included trade and other payables, the provision for
dividends/distributions to Securityholders, fair values of derivative
financial instruments that are in a liability position and tax liabilities
(including deferred tax). The movement during the year was
primarily due to increases in the liability fair values of certain of the
derivatives and increased income tax liabilities.

The carrying value of wholly-owned, stabilised investment
properties increased by $41.5 million to $1,797.9 million at
30 June 2020. This was primarily due to valuation uplifts of
$45.2 million during the year, offset by some minor disposals.
The value of Goodman’s cornerstone investments in Partnerships,
which excludes the Group’s share of development assets in the
Partnerships, increased by $886.9 million to $7,807.3 million,
due to the valuation uplifts across the portfolios, stabilisation of
developments (primarily in GNAP) and funding for new acquisitions,
net of new bank debt facilities or bond issuances by the
Partnerships.
Goodman’s development holdings, which include the Group’s
share of development assets in the Partnerships as well as the
directly held properties, increased during the year by $148.3 million
to $3,140.1 million. This was a result of both the increased activity
levels that occurred in most regions and valuation uplifts associated
with investment properties under development in the Partnerships
(primarily in Asia and North America). A number of large projects
commenced in the latter part of the year, which resulted in
development WIP increasing to $6.5 billion at 30 June 2020.
At 30 June 2019, the principal goodwill and intangible asset
balances were in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.
The movement during FY20 related to changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and there have been no impairments or reversals
of impairments.

Operating cash flow
Operating cash flows of $1,156.9 million increased relative to the
prior year and was also higher than the Group’s operating profit
of $1,060.2 million.
This was primarily attributable to higher receipts from management
activities during FY20.
The net development cash flows were at a similar level to the prior
year, although both the gross receipts from development activities
and the gross payments for development activities were lower. This
arose due to the nature and structure of the development activities
– with less development costs being incurred directly by the Group.
Instead Goodman undertook more developments in joint ventures
or in Partnerships with the Group’s share of the funding reported in
investing activities.
The distributions received from Partnerships in FY20 were
$462.2 million, increased from $365.4 million in the prior year.
This the main reason for the higher distributions relating to
development activities in the Partnerships.

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Operating and financial review (continued)
Investing cash flow
Outlook
Investing cash flows in FY20 primarily related to the net investments
in Goodman’s Partnerships of $806.6 million (2019: $920.6 million).
This investment occurred principally in Asia and North America
to fund the ongoing development activity in those Partnerships.
There were also capital returns from partnerships in Australia and
North America of $428.4 million during FY20 as the Partnerships
raised new debt.
The investment property acquisitions of $234.3 million were in
Australia and the United Kingdom, although the United Kingdom
property was sold to Goodman UK Partnership (disposal of
controlled entities) later in the year. The investment property
disposals also related to Australia.
Financing cash flow
Financing cash flows include the drawdowns and repayments
associated with Goodman’s interest bearing liabilities.
The principal financing cash outflows were the distributions
paid to Securityholders.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material financial
impact on Goodman. For FY21, the business conditions for
industrial assets are expected to remain favourable. The Group is
strategically well placed given its financial and operational strength.
The Board sets targets annually and reviews them regularly.
Overall, the Group expects to achieve operating profit for FY21
of $1,165 million, which equates to operating EPS of 62.7 cents,
up 9% on FY20. Forecasts are subject to there being no material
adverse change in market conditions or the occurrence of other
unforeseen events.
Development demand continues to increase which has given the
Group confidence to accelerate growth in WIP. The development
WIP of $6.5 billion at 30 June 2020 has an average expected duration
of about 17 months so the revenue from these projects will emerge
during FY21 and FY22. Furthermore, with current customer demand
levels and the Group’s capacity to meet this demand, the Group
believes that there is scope for it to increase its level of development
activity materially during FY21, which would see WIP exceed $7 billion
by 31 December 2020. Other prospective projects currently being
contemplated would result in this level of WIP being sustained for
a prolonged period. This increase in development is projected to
contribute to higher total AUM, resulting in growth in both property
investment earnings and management earnings over time.
In order for the Group to fund the anticipated increase in the capital
allocated to development activities, including funding its share
of investment in Partnerships, and to keep the Group’s financial
leverage at the appropriately lower end of the policy range, the
Directors intend to hold the distribution at 30 cents per security
for FY21 subject to achieving the anticipated profits.
Further information as to other likely developments in the
operations of Goodman and the expected results of those
operations in future financial years has not been included in this
Directors’ report because disclosure of the information would be
likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to Goodman.

Annual Report 2020
Risks
Goodman identifies strategic and operational risks for each of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an assessment
of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to the Board annually.
Goodman has established formal systems and processes to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process. This is
facilitated by a Group Investment Committee comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive Officer, which considers
all major operational decisions and transactions. The Group Investment Committee meets on a weekly basis.
The Board has separate committees to review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee reviews and monitors a range
of material risks in Goodman’s risk management systems including, among other risks, market risks, operational risks, sustainability,
regulation and compliance and information technology. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors financial risk management and
tax policies.
The key risks faced by Goodman and the controls that have been established to manage those risks are set out below:
Risk area
Mitigation
Capital
management
Ensuring long-term availability of funding from
both investors and financial institutions to support
the sustainability of the business and the delivery

Economic and
geopolitical
environment
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently forecast
to cause the worst global recession since World
War II and be more than twice as deep as the
recession associated with the 2007-09 global
financial crisis. How prolonged this recession will
be is uncertain.
Geopolitical and geo-economic tensions are
still heightened and continue to rise among the
world’s major powers.
The global economic climate and future
movements in interest rates present risks and
opportunities in property and financing markets
and the businesses of the Group's customers
which can impact both the delivery of the
Group's strategy and financial performance.

+ Goodman defined design specifications, which cover environmental,
technological, and safety requirements, protecting against
short-term obsolescence
+ Internal audit reviews with reporting to the Risk and
Compliance Committee
+ Insurance program, both Goodman and general contractor,
including project specific insurance
+ Ongoing monitoring and reporting of WIP and levels of speculative
development, with Board oversight including limits with respect
to speculative development
31
Goodman Group
Directors’ report
(continued)
Risk area
Mitigation
Disruption, changes
in demand and
obsolescence
Through advancement in technology and
rapid growth in e-commerce (as seen through
automation/robotics, driverless vehicles and an
increase in demand for data centre use), there
is a longer-term risk that warehouses become
obsolete and not fit for purpose through their
specialisation and/or location.
Environmental and
climate change
Failure to properly identify and mitigate both
physical and transition risks from climate change,
leading to a negative impact on Goodman’s
reputation, ability to raise capital and a disruption
to operations and stranded assets.
Asset and portfolio
Inability to execute asset planning and
management strategies, including leasing
risk exposures, can reduce returns from
Goodman’s portfolios.
+ Key urban market strategy – urban, infill locations support
re-usability of property
+ Adaptable and re-usable building design – ease to reconfigure
for another customer
+ Geographic diversification
+ Capital partnering transfers risks into Partnerships
+ Insurance program (both Goodman’s and key contractors),
including project specific insurance covering design and defects
+ Long lease terms with prime customers
+ Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability policy
+ 2030 Sustainability Strategy including the assessment
of individual assets to improve resilience and implementation
of sustainability initiatives
+ Sustainability guidelines for development projects
+ Review and approval of acquisitions and development projects
by the Group Investment Committee and relevant
+ Partnership Investment Committee, including consideration of climate
in due diligence and specification
+ Key urban market strategy – urban, infill locations where customer
demand is strongest
+ Diversification of customer base and lease expiries
+ Review of significant leasing transactions and development projects
by the Group Investment Committee
+ Capital expenditure programs keeping pace with property lifecycle
Concentration to
counterparties
and markets
Information and
data security
Over-exposure to specific areas, such as capital
partners, supply chain, customers and markets,
may limit growth and sustainability opportunities.
+ Diversification of customer base and lease expiries
+ Diversification of capital partners and Partnership expiries
Maintaining security of IT environment and
data, ensuring continuity of IT applications
to support sustainability and growth and
prevent operational, regulatory, financial and
reputational impacts.
+ Reporting of risks and management activity
+ Proactive monitoring, review and testing of infrastructure

Remuneration report – audited (continued)
REMUNERATION REPORT – AUDITED
Sustained performance
Dear Securityholders,
On behalf of the Board, we are pleased to present the 2020
remuneration report, outlining Goodman’s remuneration strategy
and principles.
Goodman’s remuneration framework is essential to attracting
and retaining high quality professionals with local expertise,
who develop businesses and relationships globally and drive
Goodman’s long-term success. It is integral to the exceptional
results delivered for Securityholders.
The past financial year has been marked by enormous
challenges for the business and communities. Extreme weather
conditions resulting in droughts and bushfires in Australia,
followed by the global COVID-19 pandemic in the final months
of this financial year caused unprecedented health, social and
economic consequences.
Our business plays an important role in providing both essential
infrastructure and making a tangible difference to the communities
in which we operate, and Goodman has reacted to the crises
through increasing support to affected groups.
Social impact grants from the Goodman Foundation and donations
from Goodman staff have increased to $13.7million. This included
contributions to the NSW Rural Fire Service and communities
affected by the NSW bushfires, as well as Goodman’s charitable
partners, and Goodman staff also provided 8,600 hours of
volunteer assistance. Additionally, the Group has not taken any
government relief in Australia (JobKeeper).
Managing the welfare of employees has been a critical
consideration in achieving the Group’s financial and operational
targets. This situation has required practically all employees to work
remotely for extended periods of time. Our focus and commitment
to keeping our teams motivated and demonstrating genuine
support and concern for employees (and their families) have been
considerable. Managers within the Group, in particular the senior
executives have demonstrated significant levels of leadership,
compassion and commitment in their efforts to achieve the Group’s
commercial objectives.
Goodman is a leading internationally diversified real estate fund
manager in the logistics real estate sector. The retention of
talent is essential for the long term success of the business and
is increasingly challenging as opportunistic competitors seek
to recruit Goodman’s high-performing teams, in each of our
markets. The Group’s remuneration policy plays a critical role in
helping to ensure that Goodman has the right human resources to
deliver our strategy, create the right culture and drive performance
for all stakeholders.
Over more than a decade, the Group has established strong
and resilient leadership teams, financial resources and a strategic
real estate portfolio, to maximise sustainability of earnings through
difficult market cycles. This has allowed us to adapt to the new
operating environment with limited disruption and continue to grow
for the long term. As a result, the Board is proud that Goodman
has performed strongly through this period despite world market
dislocation and volatility. Our long-term vision, which includes a
strong focus on cash flow, liquidity, and risk management, has
been executed consistently and diligently.
Total Securityholder return (TSR) for the Group versus comparable
indices is detailed below, indicating sustained material

FY20 results delivered significant outperformance both
operationally and for Securityholders while positioning the business
for future growth. Despite the market uncertainty, our measured
approach over many years has allowed Goodman to retain, and
also exceed, previous operating EPS guidance for FY20 and
commit to firm operating EPS guidance for FY21. This is in an
environment where most of the ASX listed entities have withdrawn
FY20 guidance and are not expected to provide guidance for the
year ahead. The Board’s belief in pay for performance culture is
reflected in the challenging hurdles set for FY21 remuneration
awards, which if achieved, will have provided Securityholders with
top quartile performance and 30% growth in operating profit over
the past three years (significantly ahead of consensus expectations
for the S&P/ASX 100).
Key performance highlights include:

targets compared with the S&P/ASX 100, which is expected
to show an average -14.4% decline for FY20
Statutory profit of $1.5 billion for Goodman and $4.8 billion
across the combined Group and Partnerships
Operating profit of $1.1 billion (+12.5%) in FY20 for Goodman
Significant growth in development work in progress (WIP) up
59% during FY20 to $6.5 billion at 30 June 2020, positioning
the business well into FY21
Total assets under management (AUM) increased 12% to
$51.6 billion
Substantial revaluation growth of $2.9 billion across the Group
and Partnerships.

Annual Report 2020
We continue to engage in an open and meaningful dialogue with
Securityholders and other stakeholders to enhance understanding
of our policy and its contribution to Goodman’s performance as
well as our understanding of Securityholder concerns and local
and global market practices. We hope we can rely on your support
at our 2020 Annual General Meeting in November.
Yours sincerely,

Chairman, Remuneration and Nomination Committee
Continued improvement and alignment
of the Long Term Incentive Plan
As you are aware, in 2019, the Board announced several
changes to the remuneration framework which have now been
implemented. Specifi cally, the operating EPS hurdle under the
Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is measured over three years from
the date of each grant, as opposed to setting annual targets.
We have also signifi cantly enhanced our disclosures in support
of variable remuneration, rationale for the performance metrics
and the comparator sets used in assessing remuneration levels.
We believe that our fundamental principle of aligning all our people
and Securityholders meaningfully through equity, is unique in the
Australian market and has been a signifi cant factor in building
the resilience of our business. This should continue to deliver
the Group’s and Securityholders’ desired outcomes despite the
uncertain outlook for global markets.
In line with commentary in prior years, the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee has made some additional distinctions in
the remuneration approach applied to executive key management
personnel (KMP) to further align them with long-term performance.
Several years ago, the Group Chief Executive Offi cer (CEO)
agreed with the Board to not receive short-term incentive (STI)
but to receive all performance based remuneration in the form of
long-term incentive (LTI), to focus on signifi cant long-term alignment
of pay with Securityholders’ returns. It was also consistent with a
responsibility for developing and implementing a long-term strategy
and providing leadership in this form of remuneration.
The other executive KMP can be differentiated in their roles
and responsibilities where some hold regional responsibilities
including specifi c fi nancial targets and others perform wider global
strategic roles. The Board and Remuneration and Nomination
Committee have determined that where executive KMP have a
greater focus on Group strategy and implementation, they should
have a relatively larger proportion of equity based remuneration
(as a proportion of total remuneration) and less emphasis on STI.
The Board believes that these individuals have more infl uence
on setting and maintaining the Group’s strategy and should be
increasingly aligned with the long-term outcomes of the Group and
returns to Securityholders. This structure also minimises the risk of
inappropriate reward or penalisation as a result of market volatility
and unexpected market movements over the short term.

Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
1. REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY
AND LINK TO BUSINESS STRATEGY
Goodman is a globally diversified real estate fund manager and
one of the largest listed industrial property managers and
developers in the world. Goodman’s people are largely based
outside Australia, and consequently, Goodman’s remuneration
structure has some key differences from the Australian market.
This reflects the requirements of the labour markets we are
competing in globally, not just in Australia, and the objective of
aligning multiple regional businesses and operational segments
with Group performance outcomes.
The retention of talent is critical for the long term and is increasingly
challenging as opportunistic competitors seek to recruit
Goodman’s high-performing teams, in each of our markets. The
Group’s remuneration policy plays a critical role in helping to ensure
that Goodman has the right human resources to deliver its strategy,
create the right culture and drive performance for all stakeholders.
As a result, the key component of remuneration is equity based
reward. The Board believes aligning ALL people at Goodman
with Securityholders through the Group’s remuneration policy has
added significant value to the Group. It has been a fundamental
differentiator in generating and rewarding long-term performance
and retaining Goodman’s people in a highly competitive global
environment. It is particularly important in light of the challenges
COVID-19 has created, as it binds all employees together as
owners of the business and is a powerful incentive and driver of
operational resilience.
Our remuneration framework takes a long-standing partnership
approach where Goodman’s people participate in the long-term
success of the Group alongside Securityholders.
38
Annual Report 2020
1.1 THE ROLE OF THE BOARD AND REMUNERATION
1.2 KEY REMUNERATION PRINCIPLES
AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE
The Board believes the success of Goodman is primarily due to
the depth of talent globally executing a strategy that requires strong
collaboration and the culture of inclusion created by the LTIP.
Given the cyclical nature of real estate, incentive structures
within real estate businesses are highly outcome driven (particularly
by private equity real estate managers where most institutional
assets reside).
As a result, the Board:
+
+
+
Encourages management to take a long-term strategic
rather than opportunistic approach to property investment
Has overlaid the operational, financial and human strategy
in order to create long-term sustainable returns
Focuses on the consistency of cash profit as the most
tangible means of measuring long-term value creation
for Securityholders.
The Board annually considers remuneration with a three to five year
view. It considers how the performance of the Group has been
influenced by the decisions over the last three to five years and how
it expects the business to perform over the next three to five years.
It is not solely an exercise in reviewing a single year.
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has considered the
specifics of individual performance, in the context of the COVID-19
environment and collectively in the context of the Group’s
continued strong performance. Given the nature of the Group’s
global operations, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee
has paid particular attention to the global marketplace and the
competitors in that sector. Industrial and logistics real estate,
and Goodman’s success, has made its people a target for new
entrants to the sector and existing competitors looking to emulate
the Group’s performance. The Remuneration and Nomination
Committee believes this requires a wide global remit in order to
set competitive remuneration allowing for the strong component
of remuneration that is at risk.
This changing international landscape will result in Goodman’s
capital and resource allocations shifting over time, with the aim
of delivering the best risk adjusted returns overall albeit this may
be to the detriment of one part of the global business and to
the benefit of another. The Group’s remuneration framework is
therefore focused on influencing long-term decision making and
collaboration across business units and international operations
to derive sustainable outcomes.
While considered unique in the Australian market, the LTIP reflects
several key principles of remuneration at Goodman:
+
+
+
+
Focus on LTI as the predominant source of pay for
performance. All employees are eligible to receive LTI grants
as a material component of remuneration and are tested
using challenging hurdles (see section 2.4.2), enhancing
alignment of rewards across the Group with Securityholders
Aligning the deliverable outcomes of all employees globally
with Goodman’s aspirations of long-term cash flow growth,
resilience and sustainability. This is practically achieved
through the focus on operating profit (which reflects cash
profits) as the primary testing measure for LTI awards
(see section 2.4.1)
Collaboration to achieve Group-wide targets across regions
and business units
A culture of ownership, inclusion and alignment.
This philosophy has enabled Goodman to deliberately position
its business over the past decade to maximise sustainability of
earnings in varying market cycles that has resulted in consistent
long-term security price outperformance.

The performance of individuals is assessed through a detailed bottom up performance appraisal process based on contribution
to defined objectives that reflect behavioural expectations, annual contribution to results as well as strategic and other contributions
where these results or benefits may be reflected in future years. Base salaries for the executive KMP roles are set low versus peers
and this is carried through in lower STI outcomes for relevant KMP. The focus on STI as a form of reward has reduced in favour of
LTI, in line with a culture and ethos of sustainable outcomes.
Operating profit growth and capital management are of the highest importance in financial assessment. These factors together
encourage not only the operating EPS targets being met but also that the method in which they are met matches appropriate risk
and quality settings.
This structure is simple and transparent and aligns management with the operating EPS growth expectations of Securityholders.
The weighting to LTI is believed to be the most effective way of rewarding sustained performance and retaining talent.
Despite the impact of COVID-19 the security price has remained stable and underlying performance has exceeded targets.

Operating EPS is a critical measure of long-term performance (see section 2.4.1).
Hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging (see section 2.4.2) relative to external and internal reference points.
The relative TSR and operating EPS hurdles interact as TSR impacts the value of all performance rights. Given the significant skew
in remuneration to performance rights, the impact of the TSR hurdle is greater than its 25% weighting in that TSR provides an
effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group. The price to earnings multiple attributable to securities will reflect
the perceived risk in achieving operating EPS targets, which impacts the likelihood of vesting and the ultimate value upon vesting.
The total number of equity settled performance rights outstanding under the LTIP equates to 3.4% of the Group’s issued securities.
The proposed number of FY21 awards (both equity and cash settled) is 0.9% of the total securities on issue.
The maximum number of performance rights under the LTIP is limited to 5% of the Group’s issued securities.

2. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK
2.1 PEER GROUP AND QUANTUM ASSESSMENT
As in previous years, the Board and Remuneration and Nomination Committee have considered the entire enterprise of the Group
and its Partnerships globally, when assessing the executives roles.
In this context, Goodman:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Is an international real estate fund manager
Manages and creates value in respect of $51.6 billion of assets globally
Manages capital allocation and funding across various activity types, which is sourced from multiple sophisticated markets
and jurisdictions
Is one of the largest developer of logistics real estate in the world, with a current WIP of $6.5 billion of new product
Generated a combined statutory profit across the Group and Partnerships of $4.8 billion in FY20
Is the 13th largest entity listed on the ASX and is a member of the S&P/ASX 20 index
Generates 72% of earnings from management and development activities which require more intensive day to day activity
than a passive investment portfolio
Provides its customers and partners with investment management, asset management, development, financial, transaction
and capital management services in the listed and private equity capital markets globally
Derives 72% of earnings from international markets with 70% of employees situated offshore.
The Group has limited direct comparable real estate market peers in Australia, having operating businesses in five continents and
17 countries, each with market driven remuneration outcomes. The Group’s 958 staff (at 30 June 2020) are mostly offshore, and
consequently Goodman competes for labour in an international market, which the Board considers when assessing the quantum
of remuneration awards.
2.1.1 PEER GROUP COMPARATORS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE GROUP CEO

Private equity managers were also considered for comparison,
particularly with respect to the nature of pay for performance
remuneration structures in those types of enterprises but were
not cited as direct comparisons for quantum setting purposes.
For many entities, returns in FY20 are likely to have been
significantly dislocated given the impact of COVID-19 which should
be taken into account when assessing the comparator group.
When assessing the Group CEO’s remuneration for FY20 the
components considered by the Board are:
+
+
Current fixed base pay
Performance rights to be awarded in FY21 (subject to
securityholder approval) to be tested over FY21 – FY23 and
vesting in FY24 – FY26.
The assessment of the value of the performance rights referred
to in this section uses face value metrics, as opposed to the
economic value. This is common market practice. That is, no
discount has been applied to the attributed value of performance
rights for vesting risk or time value of money. The Board has
considered the total remuneration noting in its determination
that the comparability of other remuneration schemes is limited,
particularly as it relates to:
+ Proportion at risk – fixed pay is significantly lower in absolute
terms and represents only 9% of total potential remuneration
for FY20. As in previous years the Group CEO will not
participate in the STI award or any other form of variable cash
remuneration (comparatively, the market average fixed pay
and STI is approximately 50% of total remuneration)
91% of his remuneration for FY20 performance will be taken
in the form of performance rights, the ultimate value of which
is at risk. By way of comparison, the average proportion of
remuneration in LTI for the S&P/ASX 20 and S&P/ASX 100 is
51% and 48% respectively.
+
This means that the Group CEO would not receive any LTI in
respect of his performance for FY20 if the Group did not meet
its performance hurdles under the LTIP over the next three
years. Furthermore, the ultimate value of the award will be
subject to Goodman’s security price performance over the
next five years. Full remuneration for performance in FY20
will only be realised if these conditions are satisfied, and
Goodman’s performance is at least sustained until FY26.
This results in a more significant portion of the Group CEO’s
remuneration that is at risk compared to most other ASX
listed entities.
The Board considers Goodman’s remuneration awards have been
set on the basis that the hurdles set for the FY21 performance
rights awards are significantly more challenging than relative to
the FY20 awards. This is due to the more uncertain and volatile
operating ESG expected in the future (see section 2.4.2 on
proposed FY21 LTIP EPS grant targets).
Annual Report 2020
2.2 REMUNERATION COMPONENTS FOR
EXECUTIVE KMP – CONTINUED ENHANCEMENTS
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee has continued
to make improvements to the structure of remuneration. In FY20,
the Board made some additional distinctions in the remuneration
approach applied to individual KMP to further align them with
long-term performance. Several years ago, the Group CEO agreed
with the Board that he would not participate in the STI scheme
and any performance based remuneration would be in the form
of LTI, to increase long-term alignment of pay with Securityholders’
returns. It was also consistent with the Group CEO’s responsibility
for developing and implementing a long-term strategy.
The Board believes the other executive KMP can be differentiated
in their roles and responsibilities where some hold specific regional
responsibilities and others perform wider global strategic roles.
The Board has determined that:
+ Nick Kurtis (Group Head of Equities), Michael O’Sullivan
(Group Chief Risk Officer) and Nick Vrondas (Group Chief
Financial Officer) who have a greater focus on Group strategy
and implementation should have a relatively larger proportion
of equity based remuneration (as a proportion of total
remuneration) and less emphasis on STI. The change reflects
that these individuals have more influence on the setting and
maintaining the Group’s strategy and should be increasingly
aligned with the long-term outcomes of the Group and returns
to Securityholders
Anthony Rozic (Chief Executive Officer, North America) and
Danny Peeters (Executive Director, Corporate) with regional
operational responsibilities continue to have a more balanced
weighting to STI in line with the current approach. Their STI
remuneration is also expected to be more variable reflecting
annual achievements.
+
On that basis, STI awards for executive KMP (excluding the Group
CEO) have declined by 27% compared with FY19, while LTI awards
have increased 12% from the FY19 levels. Overall remuneration
awarded for these executive KMP has been set with reference

This chart reflects the significant level of overall remuneration that is at risk. This analysis is different to both the statutory presentation
of remuneration and the vested remuneration, which are detailed later in the remuneration report.
2.2.1 WHEN IS REMUNERATION EARNED AND RECEIVED?
Performance goals must be achieved over a period of three years to qualify for performance based pay. Vesting then occurs in equal
tranches from years three to five. However, there is no certainty of vesting and the outcome is dependent on the movement in the security
price over the next five years.
The chart below illustrates the timing of receipt of the remuneration components. It demonstrates the requirement for sustained
operational performance over five years from the end of FY20 for the performance based remuneration to vest. This is further emphasised
by a significant proportion of the executive KMP remuneration that is in the form of LTI.

2.3 STI
STI is a component of remuneration that is at risk. It is specific to achievement of financial and non-financial objectives. This structure is
very transparent and aligns management with the operating EPS growth expectations of Securityholders.
Questions
Who is eligible
to participate
in the STI?
What is the form
of the STI award?
What is the
maximum award
participants
may earn?
How is the
STI earned?
How is the
individual
STI award
determined?
All full-time and part-time permanent employees.
The Group CEO agreed with the Board not to participate in the STI awards, to emphasise reward for long-term decision
making across the organisation.
Nick Kurtis (Group Head of Equities), Michael O’Sullivan (Group Chief Risk Officer) and Nick Vrondas (Group Chief Financial
Officer) have agreed with the Board to forgo varying portions of their STI awards in exchange for LTI, to emphasise reward
for long-term decision making across the organisation.
Cash. For executive KMP, 50% of the STI award is paid on finalisation of Goodman’s full year result.
50% of the STI award is deferred and paid in cash after a period of 12 months and the deferred STI amount is subject to
forfeiture under malus provisions (see below).
STI awards are capped at 150% of fixed remuneration for executive KMP. Target STI for individuals is also compared
to market based remuneration data and their manager’s own assessment of what an appropriate level of incentive
compensation may be relative to the long-term value that person brings to the Group.
The Board sets budget targets for the business annually. These targets are set relative to the market conditions, earnings
visibility, financial structure and strategy and are believed to be challenging but challenging and appropriate. Targets will vary
over time, through cycle and strategy, to ensure they remain contemporary.
STI for all staff is subject to: (1) meeting behavioural expectations under the Group Code of Conduct; and (2) achieving
operating EPS (based on the annual forecast for the relevant year). Securityholder returns are prioritised.
STI rewards annual performance against objectives of the individual and the Group.
The Group objectives include multiple factors as set from time to time, dependent on the market and strategy of the Group.
These primarily fall into five groups:
property investment
–
–
development
– management
–
–
Adherence to the Group’s core values is a minimum hurdle for the STI to vest and the Remuneration and Nomination
Committee looks at conduct and specific judgements are made in relation to this.
The performance of individuals is assessed through a detailed and formal performance appraisal process based on
contribution to defined objectives, behavioural expectations, annual contribution to results as well as strategic and other
contributions where these results or benefits may be reflected in future years.
capital management and
corporate and social responsibility.
Is there
malus/clawback?
The executive KMP STI awards are subject to 50% deferral for 12 months from the date of publication of Goodman’s
financial statements. This deferral period provides protection from malus. The Board has discretion to forfeit deferred
amounts for material misstatement, fraud or adverse changes that would have affected the award where there is
executive responsibility.
Is STI deferred
into equity?
What happens
to STI upon
termination?
No. A much greater portion of remuneration for KMP is in the form of LTI (equity) than any other S&P/ASX 100 entity and
hence they are already significantly more aligned with securityholders’ outcomes than executives at other listed entities.
As a result, in the Board’s view, there is little further benefit in deferring STI into equity.
For all KMP, the deferred portion of STI award is subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where employees
are dismissed for cause without notice (e.g. fraud or serious misconduct). The Board has discretion to pay deferred STI
in certain circumstances, where employees leave the Group with good leaver status due to personal circumstances or due
to permanent disablement or death.

Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
2.3.1 CODE OF CONDUCT
The way employees conduct themselves is crucial to the success
of the Group. Goodman has consistent and transparent practices
in place for managing non-compliance with policies and the
approach to risk guides the way all employees are expected to
conduct themselves and hence all remuneration is subject to
meeting these requirements.
Within the Code of Conduct, there is a set of eight guiding
principles that encourage employees to uphold Goodman’s
reputation and behave appropriately in dealing with the Group’s
customers and other team members. Employees are assessed
continually against these principles. The guiding principles are:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Act in a professional manner
Work as a team and respect others
Treat stakeholders fairly
Value honesty and integrity
Follow the law and the Group’s policies
Respect confidentiality and do not misuse information
Manage conflicts of interest
Strive to be a great team member
The Board also believes that ownership through the LTIP embeds
a culture of inclusion and sense of place in Goodman and that this
has been strongly reflected in the Group’s performance over many
years and particularly through COVID-19. While assessment is
continual, the Code of Conduct is a gate to an individual’s eligibility
to receive a STI and LTI at the time of assessment. The Board
believes that this is an absolute requirement and hence applying
a fixed percentage reduction to the measure is less effective.
The proportional impact of this measure on STI can be anything
from 0% to 100%, as any breach of the Code can have levels
of severity ranging from cessation of employment to minor
performance issues which can be managed and rectified and
may require varying levels of financial impact, training and/or
personal development.

Annual Report 2020
2.4 LTI PARAMETERS
The LTIP is an equity plan whose rewards are at risk. It is open to all permanent employees to create alignment with the interests
of Securityholders over the long term.
+
+
No value is derived from LTI unless minimum cumulative performance hurdles of operating EPS and relative TSR are met
or exceeded, and performance rights have no entitlement to income or assets until they vest.
If performance achieves or exceeds long-term targets and performance rights vest, LTI represents the majority of remuneration
for executive KMP and becomes a material component of remuneration for all participating employees.
Questions (in relation to all grants including FY21)
Who is eligible
to participate?
What is the form
of the award?
What is the
maximum LTI
participants
may earn?
All full-time and part-time permanent employees are eligible to participate in the LTIP.
The LTIP awards performance rights linked to the underlying ASX listed securities. The performance rights do not
receive distributions or have any right to income or assets until vesting.
When considering the overall size of LTI awards, the Board also considers the number of securities that could vest and
the associated impact on the operating EPS growth. Performance rights issued under the LTIP are capped at 5% of
issued capital with vesting of approximately 1% per annum, assuming all hurdles are met and all employees remain
employed. The Board considers the performance of the Group in comparison with the comparator group, the amount
of overall operating profit, the competitive nature of the global labour markets where we operate and the value of the
team in the local and global marketplace, as appropriate.
How is the number
of rights determined?
The number of rights is determined by dividing the LTI award amount by the face value of the Goodman security price
(as at the most recent 30 June) rounded to the nearest (lower) 10,000.
What are the
performance
measures?
Behaviour in accordance with core values is an absolute requirement for the granting of performance rights and
a minimum hurdle for LTI awards to vest as continued employment is a pre-condition.
The Board believes that the commercial decisions Goodman makes in fulfilment of its overall financial objectives
are best reflected in two key indicators: operating EPS and TSR (relative to the S&P/ASX 100).
Operating EPS is a critical measure of long-term global performance of the operations (see section 2.4.1).
The hurdles are set to be competitive and challenging relative to external and internal historical and prospective
reference points (see section 2.4.2).
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group i.e. the security price to earnings
multiple will reflect the perceived risk in the Group in achieving operating EPS targets.
Focus on LTI is an efficient way of rewarding sustained performance and retaining talent.
What is the weighting?
75% operating EPS hurdle
25% relative TSR hurdle
What is the
performance period?
Both operating EPS and relative TSR performance are tested over three financial years starting from 1 July in the year the
grant was made. Operating EPS growth is assessed in the third year relative to the year preceding the year of the grant.
How do the LTIP
awards vest?
Is there
malus/clawback?
What happens
to LTIP awards
upon termination?
What rights are
attached to the
performance rights?
KMP equity holding
Subject to meeting performance hurdles, vesting occurs in equal tranches shortly after the end of years three,
four and five, provided participants remain employed by the Group.
Subject to immediate forfeiture in circumstances where employees are dismissed for cause without notice
(e.g. fraud or serious misconduct). LTI will also be forfeited where employees cease to be employed, unless special
circumstances exist.
Performance rights lapse upon the employee leaving Goodman, except in special circumstances (e.g. where
employees leave the Group with good leaver status due to redundancy or personal circumstances or due to permanent
disablement or death).
Performance rights have no Securityholder rights prior to vesting (e.g. distributions, voting, rights issue participation).
There is no specific requirement for executive KMP to hold a minimum value of Goodman equity. Goodman’s
remuneration structure includes significant emphasis on performance based remuneration in equity. The result is that
over time, there is significantly more alignment and exposure to Goodman’s performance through equity than at other
ASX listed entities.

Questions specific to the FY20 grant
What are the vesting
conditions for FY20 grants?
The Board has set an operating EPS
performance hurdle of growing operating EPS
from the FY20 result of 57.5 cents to between
68.5 cents (Threshold level) and 74.5 cents
(Upper level) in FY23. Vesting of 25% of the
operating EPS portion occurs upon satisfying
testing conditions at the Threshold level with
a sliding scale up to 100% at the Upper level.
The range is equivalent to between 6% and
9% Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in
operating EPS or approximately 19% to 30%
cumulatively over the three year testing period.
TSR awards are subject to achievement of cumulative

Questions specific to outstanding historic grants made between FY16 and FY19
Operating EPS tested (75% of grant)
Relative TSR tested (25% of grant)
Operating EPS awards are subject to
achievement of a cumulative operating EPS
hurdle, which is the combination of three years’
individual operating EPS hurdles. This ensures
that the appropriate balance between short and
long-term challenges is incorporated. With the
vast majority of remuneration through LTI, the
focus remains on sustainable performance.
Targets are disclosed to the market each year
and are equal to the forecast operating EPS.
For FY21, this is 62.7 cents as it relates to the
FY19 award. Performance conditions for the
FY16, FY17 and FY18 awards which have
outstanding tranches, have already been tested.
See Section 3.5.2 for details of testing results for
FY18 awards.

2.4.1 OPERATING EPS – LONG-TERM CASH FLOW
ALIGNMENT WITH VESTING OUTCOMES
The Group provides statutory profit disclosure in accordance with
Australian Accounting Standards, including all required specific
disclosures. The Board believes that managing the business, on
what is primarily a cash profit basis, is fundamental to long-term
resilience and is the strongest determinant of value creation over
time. That is the intent of the operating profit definition. The measure
has been consistently applied since being adopted in 2005.
+
+
+
+
Operating profit intentionally excludes non-cash measures.
In addition, in the past, the Group has excluded significant
realised gains (such as the urban renewal realisation gains)
where these were believed to be cyclical in nature and not
reflective of long-term earnings
The share based payments (SBP) expense reflects the
amortisation of the aggregated fair value applicable to
outstanding performance rights. It is disclosed and expensed
in the Group’s statutory accounts per the accounting
standards. The SBP expense is excluded from the Group’s
operating profit, like other non-cash items (such as
revaluations). It is also excluded from regional budgets, as the
expense is volatile and has no linkage to operational outcomes
Outcomes for employees through the LTIP and equity
performance are directly aligned with the long-term cash profit
growth of the business defined as operating EPS, which is
believed to be the real driver of performance
Operating EPS is a transparent driver of employee
behaviour providing a key link between the generation of
operational outcomes at an individual level and the overall
outcomes directly reflected in operating EPS, which drives
Securityholder value.
Importantly for Securityholders, the Board believes that SBP:
+
+
+
Have no impact on Securityholder value until they vest when
they dilute net tangible assets (NTA) and future earnings
Do not reflect the cost of the plan to Securityholders or the
true value to employees
Increase volatility and decrease earnings transparency on
a short-term basis depending on movements in security price,
subjective assessments and other valuation parameters.
(The Group’s SBP expense decreased 17% in FY20
compared to FY19).
Furthermore, any dilution to Securityholders through the potential
issuance of securities under the LTIP is allowed for in the operating
EPS assessment, as the weighted average number of securities
includes the securities on issue plus those performance rights that
at the start of each financial year had met the three year operating
EPS and TSR hurdles but had not yet vested. The Board considers
this to be conservative as prior to vesting, performance rights have
no entitlement to income or net assets, and therefore there is no
dilution to Securityholders.
+
+
The financial impact of the performance rights occurs
only when securities are issued, through the future operating
EPS dilution
Not all performance rights necessarily vest. This can only
occur if testing criteria are met and by extension, the Group’s
performance has achieved or exceeded performance criteria
Annual Report 2020
+
Following successful testing at year three, only one third of
the tested performance rights vest at that time. The remainder
have no rights until they vest, following the end of years four
and five.
2.4.2 OPERATING EPS HURDLES FOR
PROPOSED FY21 AWARDS
The operating EPS target range used here is for the purpose
of remuneration only, specifically the testing criteria for vesting
of performance rights. The range does not constitute earnings
guidance for the Group.
The Board has set an operating EPS performance hurdle for FY21
of growing operating EPS from the FY20 result of 57.5 cents to
between 68.7 cents (Threshold level) and 74.5 cents (Upper level)
in FY23. At the Threshold level, 25% satisfy the hurdle with a sliding
scale up to 100% satisfying the hurdle at the Upper level. This
range is equivalent to between 6% and 9% CAGR in operating
EPS or approximately 19% to 30% cumulative over the three year
testing period.
Despite market uncertainty, Goodman has committed to firm
operating EPS guidance for FY21. This is in an environment
where most of the ASX listed entities have withdrawn or
reduced guidance and are not expected to give guidance for
the year ahead.
The effective CAGR hurdle is the same as for FY20 awards, but
the Board believes the FY21 hurdle is significantly more challenging
given the current economic environment. The hurdle is set for
the entire period of the grant and hence performance must be
achieved regardless of changes to business conditions globally.
Management and other employees carry the risk associated with
external factors negatively impacting operating earnings and in the
Board’s view this risk has increased due to the unknown impacts of
the current pandemic.
The range has been set with particular reference to:
+
+
+
+
Analyst current consensus expectations of CAGR in operating
EPS of c5% for Goodman over three years compared with the
Threshold at 6% for 25% vesting and Upper level at 9% for
100% vesting
The range of potential real estate opportunities for the
Group globally, given Goodman’s risk parameters and
concentrated locations
The long-run historical performance of the Group
The global economic environment, noting the uncertainty
around COVID-19 induced economic malaise, that the current
rate of inflation in Australia and the major markets in which
Goodman operates globally is around 1% per annum and the
current 10 year rate of interest on government securities in
Australia and most major markets is below 1% per annum.
49
Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
The Board also notes that:
+
The Group’s FY20 operating EPS growth (which sets the base year for hurdles) was 11.4% (ahead of original target at 9%)
–
–
The S&P/ASX 100 consensus forecast average of a -14.4% EPS decline for FY20
This significant reduction in FY20 EPS for the S&P/ASX 100 will likely give the appearance of higher future growth rates
(off the lower base). Despite Goodman’s resultant relatively higher starting point, the Group must still deliver significantly
higher growth than the S&P/ASX 100 consensus forecast average to achieve the operating EPS Threshold hurdle
(where only 25% of securities vest).
The hurdles are always set with the desire to achieve a sustainable long-term growth rate that is competitive with the market on a risk
adjusted basis, reflecting the low financial leverage of Goodman and other risk settings particularly in the current global pandemic and
economic environment. In the Board’s view, increasing hurdles to unsustainable levels would encourage riskier behaviour, inconsistent
with an acceptable risk tolerance and framework and expectations of Securityholders. This could potentially lead to lower quality earnings
and adversely affect the intent of the LTIP and ultimately Securityholder returns.

Annual Report 2020
3. REMUNERATION OUTCOMES AND THE LINK BETWEEN PERFORMANCE AND REWARD
Despite the significant headwinds caused by the global pandemic, the Group has recorded another year of material outperformance,
both of its external relative targets and its internal operational targets. FY20 ended amid significant market volatility due to COVID19
however, while Goodman’s security price has not been immune to the volatility in equity markets, its relative performance in FY20
continued to be significantly ahead of its peer groups, following 10 years of outperformance.
Importantly, all employees at Goodman are eligible to receive a proportion of their remuneration in performance rights which are deferred
for five years and require challenging operational targets to be met in order to be received. This results in all employees having an ongoing
significant exposure to Goodman equity performance which has ensured the strong alignment of employees with Securityholders.
This is a long-standing feature of Goodman’s remuneration approach and the Board believes it is an important factor in operating through
market cycles.

Goodman Group
Directors’ report
Remuneration report – audited (continued)
Over the past decade, the Group has established significant human capital, financial resources and a strategic real estate portfolio.
It has deliberately positioned its business to maximise cash flow resilience in varying market cycles, primarily through;
+
+
+
Concentration of the portfolio on logistics real estate in urban infill markets, where supply is limited and demand is driven by consumers
Deleveraging the Group’s balance sheet and retaining significant liquidity
Partnering with long-term capital to share risk and return over a significant globally diversified platform
This has included specific actions over successive years, including:
+
+
+
+
+
+
Significant reduction in financial leverage (gearing) over the last decade from 47.9% to 7.5%
Increased quality of the property portfolio through over $23 billion of asset sales since 2013 concentrating the portfolio in
predominantly urban infill markets and providing funding for the development of new buildings
Diversification of the Group’s sources of debt and tenor
Reduced operational risk through undertaking more development activity in Partnerships, which has reduced volatility of earnings
but increasing return on assets for the Group. The impact of increased development within the Partnerships has increased their
returns and the prospects for performance fees in the medium to longer term
Significant sales of assets that were reconfigured for higher and better residential use. On these transactions, the substantial profit
was not included in operating profit despite being cash realised gains as they were believed to be over and above the usual course
of business
Maintained a conservative distribution pay-out ratio to retain funding for growing development demand.
The resilience of the Group through this period, is in large part due to this strategic long-term thinking and incentivising employees through
equity linked to sustained operational performance over a long period.

Annual Report 2020
The key financial metrics which are aligned with the Group’s strategy, long-term performance and STI and LTI programs for all employees
are operating EPS and relative TSR. CAGR in operating EPS over the past five years has been 9.1%, which has exceeded the forecasts
and therefore the hurdles. This has been achieved while at the same time reducing gearing.

3.4 REMUNERATION MIX ALIGNMENT
ACROSS THE GROUP
The Board believes that the alignment between pay and
long-term performance is evidenced by the significant portion
of remuneration at risk for the Group CEO, the other executive
KMP and the whole organisation, that is in the form of LTI.
The portion of remuneration at-risk (FY20 STI and performance
rights that vested in FY20) as a proportion of total remuneration
for the Group CEO, the other executive KMP and the remainder
of employees, is illustrated in the charts below. They show strong
alignment between Securityholders and all employees as the
remuneration received as depicted below requires five years
of continued performance. Future remuneration outcomes will
depend on the Group achieving its hurdles over the long term
and the security price.
Vested remuneration is often considered by stakeholders as it
represents the value that is actually received by the KMP during the
year. It includes fixed base pay, STI and the value of performance
rights that actually vested during the year as a result of grants
made in prior periods, using the closing Goodman security price
on the day of vesting.

3.5 GROUP PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
3.5.1 STI OUTCOMES
The Board has again agreed with the Group CEO that he will not participate in the STI award. In line with continued focus on sustained
long-term performance, all performance based remuneration relating to the Group CEO’s FY20 performance will be awarded in the
form of LTI.
Given the global nature of the Group’s operations the recommendations for each executive KMP are based on the Remuneration and
Nomination Committee’s review of several sources of market information relating to the individual’s role, region and global comparisons
and specific incentive schemes that apply in competitor organisations.
In FY20, the Board made some additional distinctions in the remuneration approach applied to individual KMP to further align them with
long-term performance. The executive KMP STI outcomes (excluding the Group CEO), on average, are down 27% in FY20, compared
with FY19, (averaging 63% of the maximum potential versus 89% in FY19). This reflects the Board’s decision to focus reward in the form
of LTI for the KMP whose roles have greater focus on overall Group strategy. The table below indicates the maximum possible STI and
the actual STI awarded.
It should be noted that based on the Group and individual performances in FY20, KMP were eligible for the maximum STI.

3.5.2 LTI OUTCOMES
Performance rights are granted on an annual basis, are tested over three years and vest in three equal tranches shortly after the third,
fourth and fifth anniversary of the grant. Testing as at 30 June 2020 was completed for the grants of performance rights made to
executive KMP in respect of executive KMP performance in FY17 (called FY18 awards). The FY18 awards had two hurdles: operating
EPS and a relative TSR, both measured over the three years ended 30 June 2020.
The mechanics of the testing are detailed in section 2.4. The first tranche of the FY18 awards will vest in September 2020, the second
tranche will vest in September 2021 and the third tranche in September 2022.
Operating EPS hurdle (75% weighting)
The operating EPS is calculated by dividing operating profit by the weighted average number of securities on issue adjusted to include
all performance rights which have passed the testing criteria, even though they are not yet vested (issued) to account for potential EPS
dilution. Operating EPS growth for the three year period to 30 June 2020 was 33.4%, compared to a cumulative three year target of
23.9%. For each year, the operating EPS was based on the weighted average number of securities on issue plus those performance
rights that at the start of the year had met the three year EPS and TSR hurdles but had not yet vested.

As a result of achieving the operating EPS hurdle, a total of 11,775,723 equity settled performance rights will vest in September 2020,
September 2021 and September 2022. In addition, 2,273,813 cash settled performance rights will also vest. The Group may elect to issue
the equivalent number of new securities to raise funds to satisfy those obligations in the future.
Relative TSR (25% weighting)
TSR provides an effective check against increasing risk practices within the Group, as the price to earnings multiple will reflect the
perceived risk in the Group.
Relative TSR is measured against the S&P/ASX 100 peer group. Vesting applies a sliding scale:
+
+
0% vests up to and including the 50th percentile
Vesting of 50% starts at the 51st percentile on a sliding scale with 100% vesting at the 75th percentile.
Goodman posted a three year TSR of 103.4% to 30 June 2020, compared with the S&P/ASX 100 index performance of 17.1%.
This ranked Goodman in the 93rd percentile and consequently 100% of these performance rights vested.

3.5.3 GROUP CEO
In FY20, the Board considered the following highlights when
assessing the Group CEO, Gregory Goodman:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Developed and drove a consistent global business strategy
across all markets to sustain the performance of the Group
despite significant challenges presented by COVID-19. The
Group has adapted to these challenges and continues
to outperform its own targets and the broader market
performance, retaining employees and increasing community
support and charitable programs.
Exceeded earnings guidance through the COVID-19 affected
period, while most companies on the ASX withdrew guidance
for FY20
Outperformed benchmark indices and comparator
companies in FY20 and delivered strong and sustained TSR
of 103.4% over three years and 170% over five years
Delivered:
–
–
–
–
Statutory profit of $1,504 million, driven by growth in
property values as a result of asset selection over the past
few years and operational activities such as development
Operating profit of $1,060 million, up 12.5% on FY19
Operating EPS of 57.5 cents, up 11.4% on FY19
NTA increased 9% to $5.84 per security
Decreased financial leverage to 7.5% and maintained strong
Group balance sheet with $2.8 billion of liquidity
Instrumental in significantly increasing sustainability initiatives
and programs for the Group. This has included establishing
a zero carbon emissions target for the Group by 2025,
increasing the 2025 target for solar PV capacity installed on
the rooftops of Goodman’s global portfolios from 100MW to
400MW and implementing compliance with TCFD
Fostered a culture that focused on delivering quality across all
aspects of the business: people, properties and service
Lead global internal programs to promote a strong culture
of inclusion, collaboration and conduct across the
organisation, underpinned by the long held principles in the
Group’s Code of Conduct, treating all stakeholders with
integrity, and accountability
Reinforced Goodman’s purpose aimed at understanding the
drivers of change and the needs of the Group’s customers
and all stakeholders to support their future success
Integrated strong risk management approaches globally
Lead the shift for all employees to increase alignment with
Securityholders through the LTIP as the preferred form
of remuneration by taking 100% of performance based
remuneration in performance rights
Increased Goodman Foundation commitments to enable it
to meet its $50 million 2030 social impact target. The Group
CEO drove:
–
Contributions of $13.7 million in FY20, including
$6.6 million for Australian communities affected by the
recent bushfires and $7.1 million contributed by the
Foundation and the Goodman team across a number
of Foundation programs.
–
Directed the Goodman team globally to contribute
8,600 hours of service through the year. The Goodman
Foundation focuses on children and youth, community
and its health, and food rescue and the environment.
Meal program and food rescue charities that have been
supported by Goodman since their inception have
provided over 130 million meals globally.
The charts below demonstrate the performance of the Group
and various key metrics relative to the Group CEO’s vested
remuneration outcomes in FY20 and prior years. They illustrate
significant alignment of Group CEO remuneration outcomes and
the key metrics for testing and vesting of performance rights.
Significant operating profit growth, security price growth and
consequently returns for Securityholders over the testing periods,
correlate with increased Group CEO remuneration over time. Given
the strong increase in the market price of securities between the
time of the grant and the time of vesting, the Group CEO (and all
beneficiaries of the LTIP) have participated in the performance
alongside all investors in the Group.
Importantly, the Group CEO’s vested remuneration as a proportion
of TSR (in $ billion) has trended lower over the past five years,
indicating that the Securityholders have experienced a more than
proportionate benefit from the Group’s performance relative to the
Group CEO.

The table below includes awarded remuneration at the grant date and the vested remuneration over the past five years for the Group
CEO. The numbers in this table differ from the statutory disclosure in section 6 primarily due to the differences in the measurement and
timing of recognition in respect of performance rights granted under the LTIP and not the final vesting outcome. The below figures show
the base salary received by the Group CEO in the respective year plus the value of performance rights which vested during that year
at the closing price on the day the performance rights vested.

Annual Report 2020
3.6 LTI GRANTS IN FY21 IN RELATION TO FY20 PERFORMANCE
The remuneration awards made by the Board in respect of the executive KMP performance in FY20 comprise fixed remuneration,
STI and awards under the LTIP that will be made in FY21. As discussed in section 2.1, the performance rights will be tested at the end
of FY23. The vesting of those performance rights that achieve the performance hurdles will occur in equal tranches in September 2023,
September 2024 and September 2025. The minimum vesting percentage is 0% if hurdles are not met.
Over the past two years, the number of performance rights proposed to be awarded to the Group CEO have decreased 42%.
In determining its intended award of performance rights, the Board has considered the face value of the FY21 awards for each executive
KMP. This assumes 100% vesting and therefore represents the maximum number of potential securities. It does not consider the risk
of achieving the performance hurdles and that performance rights have no entitlement to distributions over the vesting period or the time
value of money.

Salary and fees represent the amounts due under the terms of executives’
service contracts and include movements in annual leave provisions.
Executives’ bonus (STI) awards are paid in two instalments: 50% on finalisation
of Goodman’s financial statements and 50% 12 months later. Under Australian
Accounting Standards, this means the entire bonus award is considered
as a long-term benefit with regard to the disclosure of individual executive’s
remuneration. No bonuses were forfeited during the financial year.
Other includes reportable fringe benefits, car parking and changes in long
service leave provisions.
During the period, the Board agreed certain tax equalisation arrangements
with Anthony Rozic in connection with his employment arrangements in the
United States and Australia to ensure that he was no better or worse off. The
Board agreed to pay additional tax related amounts of US$150,005 relating
to the period prior to 1 January 2019. These amounts were on top of his
Australian tax obligations for which he remained exclusively responsible.
The Board also advanced under an interest free loan, double-tax amounts
for which Foreign Income Tax Offsets from the Australian Taxation Office will
be used to repay the advances. At 1 July 2019, the advances amounted to
$nil and at 30 June 2020 equalled US$503,729, the maximum during the
period. The amount of interest that would have been payable if charged on an
arms-length basis during the period would have been $8,490. The additional
tax related amount and the notional interest amount have been included in
Anthony Rozic’s statutory remuneration for FY20 (Other remuneration).
No other executive KMP received a loan from the Group during the current or
prior financial years.
Performance rights are an LTI and in accordance with Australian Accounting
Standards: the values of the awards are determined using option pricing
models and amortised in the income statement over the vesting periods.
The determination of the values of the performance rights that are subject
to the operating EPS hurdles also reflect an assessment of the probability
of the hurdles being met.
The remuneration of Danny Peeters is disclosed in Euros, the currency in
which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed to
his performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted
average rate for the relevant financial year.
The remuneration of Anthony Rozic is disclosed in US dollars, the currency
in which his base remuneration and STI are determined. The value attributed
to his performance rights is translated from Australian dollars at the weighted
average rate for the relevant financial year.

5. NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
REMUNERATION
5.1 KEY ELEMENTS OF THE NON-EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR REMUNERATION POLICY
–
The policy is structured to ensure independence of judgement
in the performance of their duties.
– Non-Executive Directors receive fixed fees for Board membership
and additional fees for membership of committees.
–
–
–
The fees consider the size and scope of Goodman’s activities and
the responsibilities and experience of the Directors. Periodically,
these fees are benchmarked against data for comparable entities
provided by external advisers.
As approved by Securityholders at the 2006 Annual General
Meeting, total remuneration (including superannuation) payable
by Goodman to all Non-Executive Directors in aggregate must
not exceed $2.5 million per annum. For the current financial year,
total Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration was $2.3 million
(2019: $2.1 million).
The increase in Non-Executive Director fees compared to the prior
financial year was due to the change in composition of the Board.
There have been no changes to the Board and committee annual
fees since 1 January 2018.
– Non-Executive Directors are not entitled to participate in any
STI or LTI schemes as they may be perceived to create a bias
when overseeing executive decision making.
–
The Board has a policy, set out in the Directors’ Securities
Acquisition Plan, for Non-Executive Directors to accumulate a
significant long-term holding of Goodman securities so that they
have an alignment of interests with those of Securityholders.
Under the policy, each Non-Executive Director is required to
acquire securities such that their holding is equal in value to twice
their annual base fees. The value of securities for this purpose
equals the higher of purchase cost or market value at the end of
each financial year. This holding may be acquired at any time but
where not held at the beginning of a financial year, the policy is for
25% of base fees (net of tax) during the financial year to be applied
to the on-market purchase of securities.

Footnotes to the analysis of executive KMP performance rights table
1.
The fair value was determined at grant date and calculated using a combination of the standard Black Scholes model with a continuous dividend/distribution yield
and a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100 entities and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance
rights to arrive at a present value.
As performance rights had an exercise price of $nil, Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested. Accordingly,
the percentage of performance rights that vested during the financial year equalled the percentage of securities issued during the financial year.
The value of performance rights vested was calculated using the closing price of a Goodman security on the ASX of $14.26 on 2 September 2019, the day the
performance rights vested.
As Goodman securities were automatically issued to employees when the performance rights vested, and lapsed where they failed to do so, the vesting date was
also deemed to be the expiry date.

6.3 SECURITIES ISSUED ON EXERCISE OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS

on exercise of these securities was $nil.

Annual Report 2020
Environmental regulations
Non-audit services
Goodman has policies and procedures to identify and
appropriately address environmental obligations that might arise
in respect of Goodman’s operations that are subject to significant
environmental laws and regulation. The Directors have determined
that Goodman has complied with those obligations during the
financial year and that there has not been any material breach.
Declaration by the Group Chief Executive Officer
and Group Chief Financial Officer
The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group Chief Financial
Officer declared in writing to the Board that, in their opinion, the
financial records of Goodman for the year ended 30 June 2020
have been properly maintained and the financial report for the year
ended 30 June 2020 complies with accounting standards and
presents a true and fair view of Goodman’s financial condition and
operational results. The Group Chief Executive Officer and Group
Chief Financial Officer confirmed that the above declaration was,
to the best of their knowledge and belief, founded on a sound
system of risk management and internal control and that the
system was operating effectively in all material respects in relation
to the financial reporting risks.
Disclosure in respect of any indemnification
and insurance of officers and auditors
Pursuant to the Constitution of Goodman, current and former
directors and officers of Goodman are entitled to be indemnified.
Deeds of Indemnity have been executed by Goodman, consistent
with the Constitution, in favour of each Director. The Deed
indemnifies each Director to the extent permitted by law for
liabilities (other than legal costs) incurred in their capacity as a
director of Goodman Limited or a controlled entity and, in respect
of legal costs, for liabilities incurred in defending or resisting civil or
criminal proceedings.
During the financial year, KPMG, Goodman and GIT’s auditor,
performed certain other services in addition to the audit and review
of the financial statements.
The Board has considered the non-audit services provided during
the financial year by the auditor and, in accordance with written
advice authorised by a resolution of the Audit Committee, resolved
that it is satisfied that the provision of those non-audit services
during the financial year by the auditor is compatible with, and did
not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the
Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons:
+
+
All non-audit services were subject to the corporate
governance procedures adopted by Goodman and have been
reviewed by the Audit Committee to determine they do not
impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor
The non-audit services provided do not undermine the
general principles relating to auditor independence as set
out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants,
as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own
work, acting in a management or decision making capacity
for Goodman, acting as an advocate for Goodman or jointly
sharing risks and rewards.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of Goodman and GIT,
KPMG and its network firms, for the audit and non-audit services
provided during the financial year are set out in note 26 to the
consolidated financial statements.
Lead auditor’s independence declaration
under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001
The lead auditor’s independence declaration is set out on page 71
and forms part of this Directors’ report for the financial year.
Rounding
Goodman has insured to the extent permitted by law, current and
former directors and officers of Goodman in respect of liability
and legal expenses incurred in their capacity as a director or officer.
As it is prohibited under the terms of the contract of insurance,
the Directors have not included details of the nature of the liabilities
covered or the amount of the premiums paid.
Goodman and GIT are entities of a kind referred to in ASIC
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument
2016/191. In accordance with that Instrument, amounts in this
Directors’ report and the consolidated financial statements have
been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless
otherwise stated.
The auditors of Goodman are not indemnified by Goodman
or covered in any way by this insurance in respect of the audit.

Directors’ report
Events subsequent to balance date
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the fi nancial
year and the date of this report any item, transaction or event of
a material and unusual nature likely, in the opinion of the Directors,
to affect signifi cantly the operations of Goodman, the results
of those operations, or the state of affairs of Goodman, in future
fi nancial years.
The Directors’ report is made in accordance with a resolution
of the Directors.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
BASIS OF PREPARATION
This section sets out the general basis upon which
Goodman and GIT have prepared their financial statements
and information that is disclosed to comply with the
Australian Accounting Standards, Corporations Act 2001
or Corporations Regulations.
Specific accounting policies can be found in the section
to which they relate.
1 Basis of preparation
Goodman Limited and Goodman Industrial Trust are for profit
entities domiciled in Australia.
In accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/
Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, amounts in these
consolidated financial statements have been rounded to the
nearest hundred thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.
(c) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each
of the controlled entities are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s and the
Trust’s functional and presentation currency.
(a) Statement of compliance
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s
functional currency at rates approximating to the foreign exchange
rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable
and payable in foreign currencies at the balance date are translated
at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Resulting exchange
differences are recognised in the income statement.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms
of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable at
the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items which are
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of controlled foreign operations are
translated into Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling
at the balance date.
Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates
for the financial year. Exchange differences arising on translation
are taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve.
On cessation of operations in a foreign region, the cumulative
exchange differences relating to the operations in that region, that
have been included in the foreign currency translation reserve, are
reclassified to the income statement.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part
of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the
foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements are general purpose
financial statements which have been prepared in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the Australian
Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act
2001. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) form the
basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the AASB.
The consolidated financial statements also comply with IFRS.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian
dollars and were authorised for issue by the Directors on
13 August 2020.
(b) Basis of preparation of the consolidated financial reports
Shares in the Company, units in the Trust and CDIs over shares
in GLHK are stapled to one another and are quoted as a single
security on the ASX. Australian Accounting Standards require
an acquirer to be identified and an in-substance acquisition to
be recognised. In relation to the stapling of the Company, the
Trust and GLHK, the Company is identified as having acquired
control over the assets of the Trust and GLHK. In the consolidated
statement of financial position of the Group, equity attributable to
the Trust and the CDIs over the shares of GLHK are presented as
non-controlling interests.
As permitted by the relief provided in ASIC Instrument 18-0353,
these financial statements present both the financial statements
and accompanying notes of Goodman and GIT. GLHK, which is
incorporated and domiciled in Hong Kong, prepares its financial
statements under Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
and the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Companies
Ordinance and accordingly the financial statements of GLHK
have not been combined and included as adjacent columns in
this report. The financial statements of GLHK have been included
as an appendix to this report.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
historical cost basis, subject to any impairment of assets, except
that the following assets and liabilities are stated at fair value:
Investment properties
Derivative financial instruments
Investments in unlisted securities
Liabilities for cash settled share based
payment arrangements.

(d) Changes in accounting policies
Goodman and GIT have adopted AASB 16 Leases, with a date of initial application of 1 July 2019.
AASB 16 Leases
AASB 16 replaces AASB 117 Leases and other existing guidance on leases. It introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires
a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low
value. A lessee is required to recognise a right of use asset representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease liability
representing its obligations to make lease payments.
Goodman applied AASB 16 on 1 July 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the cumulative effect of
initially applying this standard is recognised at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues
to be reported under AASB 117.
Certain of GIT’s Partnerships have leasehold investment properties that continue to be held at fair value. As a lessee, GIT does not directly
hold any material leases and therefore the new standard will not have a material impact.
Further details of the nature and effect of the changes to previous accounting policies and the transition options applied are set out below:
Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019
(i) Definition
AASB 16 defines a lease on the basis of whether a customer controls the use of an identified asset for a period of time, which may be
determined by a defined amount of use. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use of the identified asset
and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from that use.
Goodman applied the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it will apply AASB 16 to all
contracts entered into before 1 July 2019 that had been identified as leases in accordance with the old leases accounting standard (AASB 117).
(ii) Lessee accounting
Goodman recognises a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured
at cost plus any direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any
lease incentives received.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost and
interest expense is calculated using the effective interest method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change in future lease
payments arising from a change in an index or rate, or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether Goodman will be
reasonably certain to exercise an extension or termination option. The new standard will result in the gross up of assets and liabilities
where Goodman leases office buildings, motor vehicles, office equipment and development land classified as inventories.

The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method
over the period of the lease. Ground leases of development land that are classified as inventories are not depreciated but are assessed
at each reporting date for impairments to ensure they are recorded at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(iii) Leasehold investment property
Under AASB 16, Goodman is required to account for all properties on leasehold land as investment properties when these properties
are held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income and/or for capital appreciation. The adoption of AASB 16 does not have
a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements as the Group has previously applied AASB 140 Investment Property, to account
for all of its leasehold investment properties at fair value. These leasehold investment properties will continue to be carried at fair value.
(iv) Lessor accounting
The accounting policies applicable to Goodman as a lessor remain substantially unchanged from those under AASB 17.
(v) Transitional impact
The following table summarises the impact of the adoption of AASB 16 on Goodman’s consolidated statement of financial position
at 1 July 2019. The comparative information at 30 June 2019 has not been restated.

Goodman has applied the practical expedient and adjusted the right of use assets at the date of initial application by the amount provided
for onerous leases.
(vi) Impact on results for the period
After the initial recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities at 1 July 2019, Goodman, as a lessee, is required to recognise interest
expense on the outstanding balance of the lease liability, and the depreciation of the right of use asset, instead of the previous policy of
recognising rental expenses incurred under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The impact on the consolidated
income statement in the current period as a result of this change in policy is not significant compared to the results if AASB 117 had
continued to apply.
In the consolidated cash flow statements, Goodman, as a lessee, has classified the principal portion of lease payments within financing
activities and the interest portion within operating activities. Under AASB 117, the entire lease payment was classified within operating
activities. However, the change does not have a significant impact on the presentation of cash flows.
(e) Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
The Group has not applied any new standard or interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting period. None of the new
accounting standards or interpretations is expected to have a significant impact on the future results of the Group.
(f) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires estimates and assumptions concerning the application of accounting
policies and the future to be made by Goodman. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year can be found in the following notes:
+
+
+
Note 6 – Property assets
Note 14 – Goodwill and intangible assets
Note 18 – Financial risk management.
The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future
periods affected.

Measurement of fair values
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
A number of Goodman’s accounting policies and disclosures
require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities.
The notes in this section focus on the significant items in the
income statement, and include the profit per security, analysis
of the results by operating segment and taxation details.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, Goodman
uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are
categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy and have
been defined as follows:
+
+
+
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 (unobservable inputs).
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring
fair values is included in the following notes:
+
+
Note 6 – Property assets
Note 18 – Financial risk management.

2 Profit before income tax
Gross property income
Gross property income comprises rental income under operating
leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts billed to customers
for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, security, etc.). Amounts
billed to customers for outgoings are a cost recovery for Goodman
and are recognised once the expense has been incurred.
The expense is included in property expenses.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a
straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where
operating lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed
increases in rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This
asset is a component of the relevant investment property carrying
amount. The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is
amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as a
reduction of gross property income.
Management and development income
The revenue from management and development activities is
measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with
a customer. Goodman recognises revenue when it transfers control
over a product or service to a customer.
Management income
Fee income derived from investment management and property
services is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services
are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly
or quarterly in arrears.
Performance related management income generally relates
to portfolio performance fee income, which is recognised
progressively as the services are provided but only when the
income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not
being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically
dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to an
agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the Partnership,
which can vary from one year to seven years. The returns are
impacted by operational factors such as the quality and location
of the portfolio, active property management, rental income rates
and development activity but can also be significantly affected
by changes in global and local economic conditions. Accordingly,
portfolio performance fee revenue is only recognised towards the
end of the relevant assessment period, as prior to this revenue
recognition is not considered to be sufficiently certain.
In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably measured,
management prepares a sensitivity analysis to understand the
impact of changes in asset valuations on the potential performance
fee at the assessment date. The assessment of revenue will depend
on the prevailing market conditions at the reporting date relative to
long-term averages and also the length of time until the assessment
date e.g. the longer the time period to assessment date, the
greater the impact of the sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio
performance fee revenue is then recognised based on the length of
time from the start of the assessment period to the reporting date
as a proportion of the total assessment period. Where the income
is attributable to development activities that have occurred over the
performance fee period, then it is reported as development income;
otherwise, the income is reported as management income. The
Partnerships make payments in respect of portfolio performances
fees at the end of the performance periods, once the attainment of
the conditions has been verified and the amount of the fee has been
agreed by all parties.
Development income – disposal of inventories
The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time
when control over the property asset is transferred to the customer.
This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and payment in
full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal of inventories
is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount
of the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal
(less transaction costs) and is included in the income statement in
the period of disposal.
Development income – development management services
Fee income from development management services (including
master-planning, development management and overall project
management) is recognised progressively as the services are
provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference
to costs. Payments are received in accordance with the
achievement of agreed milestones over the development period.
The development period can be up to 24 months for larger, more
complex projects.
Performance related development income includes income
associated with the returns from individual developments under the
Group’s management and performance fee income that relates to
development activity. Income in respect of individual developments
is recognised by Goodman on attainment of the performance
related conditions, which is when the income can be reliably
measured and is highly probable of not being reversed. These
amounts are paid by the Partnership when the amounts have
been measured and agreed. Income associated with development
activities as part of a portfolio assessment is recognised on the
same basis as outlined above in the management income section.
Development income – fixed price development contracts
Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed price
development contracts. This occurs when a signed contract exists,
either prior to the commencement of or during the development
phase, to acquire a development asset from Goodman on
completion. Revenue and expenses relating to these development
contracts are recognised in the income statement in proportion to
the stage of completion of the relevant contracts by reference to
costs. The payments may be on completion of the development
once legal title has been transferred. The development period can
be up to 24 months for larger, more complex projects.
Annual Report 2020
Net gain on disposal of investment properties
The disposal of an investment property is recognised at the
point in time when control over the property has been transferred
to the purchaser.
Employee expenses
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and
annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months
of the balance date represent present obligations resulting from
employees’ services provided to the balance date. These are
calculated at undiscounted amounts based on rates that are
expected to be paid as at balance date including related on-costs,
such as insurances and payroll tax.
Bonuses
A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for bonuses
where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past
practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for
bonuses are measured at the amounts expected to be paid,
including related on-costs, when they are settled.
Superannuation
Defined contribution funds
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution funds are
recognised as an expense as incurred.
Defined benefit funds
The net obligation in respect of defined benefit funds is
recognised in the statement of financial position and is calculated
separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future
benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior
periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value
of any plan assets. The calculation of defined benefit obligations
is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected
unit credit method. Remeasurements of the net defined benefit
liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return
on plan assets (excluding interest), are recognised immediately
in other comprehensive income. Net interest expense and other
expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in the
income statement.

3 Profit per security
Basic profit per security of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to the Securityholders by the weighted average
number of securities outstanding during the year. Diluted profit per security is determined by adjusting the profit attributable to the
Securityholders and weighted average number of securities outstanding for all dilutive potential securities, which comprise performance
rights issued under the LTIP.

4 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of Goodman that engages
in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur
expenses. Goodman reports the results and financial position
of its operating segments based on the internal reports regularly
reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer in order to assess
each segment’s performance and to allocate resources to them.
Operating segment information is reported on a geographic basis
and Goodman has determined that its operating segments are
Australia and New Zealand (reported on a combined basis), Asia
(Greater China and Japan), Continental Europe (primarily Germany
and France), the United Kingdom and the Americas (North America
and Brazil).
The activities and services undertaken by the operating
segments include:
+
+
+
Property investment, including both direct ownership and
cornerstone investments in Partnerships
Management activities, both fund and property management
Development activities, including development of directly
owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories) and
management of development activities for Partnerships.
The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive
Officer are based on profit before net finance expense and income
tax expense, and also exclude non-cash items such as fair value
adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive
based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating
segment primarily include inventories, investment properties and
the operating segment’s investments in Partnerships, but exclude
inter-entity funding, income tax receivables and corporate assets.
The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily
relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating
activities, but exclude interest bearing liabilities, derivative financial
instruments, provisions for distributions and corporate liabilities.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are
the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial
statements of Goodman and GIT.
For the purpose of operating segment reporting, there are no
material intersegment revenues and costs.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment
is included on the following pages.

5 Taxation
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements in
deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement except to the extent that they relate to items recognised directly
in equity, in which case the relevant amounts of tax are recognised directly in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not accounted for:
+
+
+
Goodwill
The initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit
Differences relating to investments in controlled entities to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities. Deferred tax assets or liabilities in respect of investment properties held at fair value are calculated on the presumption that the
carrying amount of the investment property will be recovered through sale. 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.
Additional income taxes that arise from dividends/distributions are recognised at the same time as the liability to pay the related
dividends/distributions.

Deferred tax assets of $219.9 million (2019: $248.8 million) in relation to tax losses and payables have not been recognised by Goodman.
GIT
Under current Australian income tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, provided that
Securityholders are presently entitled to the distributable income of the Trust as calculated for trust law purposes. The controlled entities
of the Trust that operate in certain foreign jurisdictions are liable to pay tax in those jurisdictions.
The income tax expense recorded by GIT relates to withholding taxes on actual distributions and deferred taxes on potential future
distributions from Partnerships. At 30 June 2020, deferred tax liabilities of $82.3 million (2019: $62.8 million) have been recognised in
relation to potential future distributions from Partnerships.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The notes in this section focus on Goodman’s property assets,
working capital and goodwill and intangible assets.
6 Property assets
(a) Principles and policies
Investment in property assets includes both inventories and
investment properties (including those under development), which
may be held either directly or through investments in Partnerships
(both associates and JVs).
Inventories
Inventories relate to land and property developments that are
held for sale or development and sale in the normal course of the
Group’s business. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or
net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value requires
estimates and assumptions which are regularly evaluated and are
based on historical experience and expectations of future events
that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Inventories are classified as non-current assets unless they are
contracted to be sold within 12 months of the end of the reporting
period, in which case they are classified as current assets.
Investment properties
Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and
buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income
and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried
at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires estimates and
assumptions which are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Investment
properties are not depreciated as they are subject to continual
maintenance and regularly revalued on the basis described below.
Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised
directly in the income statement.
Components of investment properties
Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment)
comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets
and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial report.
Investment property carrying values include the costs of acquiring
the assets and subsequent costs of development, including costs
of all labour and materials used in construction, costs of managing
the projects, holding costs and borrowing costs incurred during the
development periods.
Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and assets
relating to fixed rental income increases in operating lease
contracts are included within investment property values. Lease
incentives are amortised over the term of the lease on a straight-line
basis. Direct expenditure associated with leasing a property is also
capitalised within investment property values and amortised over
the term of the lease.
Annual Report 2020
Classification of investment properties
Investment properties are classified as either properties under
development or stabilised properties. Investment properties
under development include land, new investment properties
in the course of construction and investment properties that
are being redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties are all
investment properties not classed as being under development
and would be completed properties that are leased or are available
for lease to customers.
For investment properties under development, the carrying values
are reviewed by management at each reporting date to consider
whether they reflect the fair value and at completion external
valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.
For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations are
obtained at least every three years to determine the fair values.
At each reporting date between obtaining independent valuations,
the carrying values are reviewed by management to ensure they
reflect the fair values.
Deposits for investment properties
Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment
properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title are
recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the statement
of financial position.

(c) Estimates and assumptions in determining property carrying values
Inventories
For both inventories held directly and inventories held in Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead valuations are
determined using the feasibility studies supporting the land and property developments. The end values of the developments in the
feasibility studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those
observed in the relevant market. If the feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a completed development will exceed
the net realisable value, then the inventories are impaired.
Investment properties
Stabilised investment properties
The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on current prices in an active market for similar properties in the same location
and condition and subject to similar lease and other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each
acted knowledgably, prudently and without compulsion.
94
Annual Report 2020
Approach to determination of fair value
Market assessment
The lockdowns and economic impacts from the COVID-19
pandemic commenced at different times, with Asia affected from
December 2019 and rest of the world from February/March 2020.
The independent valuers would normally calculate fair values
using both observable capitalisation rates and discounted cash
flows. At the start of the pandemic the independent valuers were
concerned that historic market transactional evidence would not
be appropriate to use in their assessments of the valuations of the
investment properties and certain of their valuations undertaken
at March 2020 for the Partnerships placed a greater reliance on
the discounted cash flow methodology and most valuation reports
included a reference to the material uncertainty that existed in the
market at that time.
However, in the last quarter of the financial year, it became clear
that asset values in the industrial, logistics and warehousing sector
had been less impacted than those for other real asset classes.
This was evidenced by market transactions in the three months
ended 30 June 2020 that were completed at values consistent with
the reported valuations from the independent valuers. Accordingly,
at 30 June 2020, the independent valuers have been able to
prepare valuations using both observable capitalisation rates and
discounted cash flows and relatively few valuation reports included
a reference to the uncertainty in the market that was specific to the
subject property.
At 30 June 2020, the Board has been able to assess that all
markets in which the Group operated were active and as a
consequence, no adjustments have been made to the carrying
values of the Group’s stabilised investment property portfolios on
the basis of internally prepared discounted cash flow valuations.
The approach to determination of fair value of investment
properties is applied to both investment properties held directly
and investment properties held in Partnerships.
Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates
of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in
property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy
rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent
and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into
account. Valuations are either based on an external independent
valuation or on an internal valuation.
External valuations are undertaken only where market segments
were observed to be active. In making the determination of
whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics
are considered:
+
+
+
+
Function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or
suburban office)
Location of asset (city, suburb or regional area)
Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely
appeal to private (including syndicates), national and
institutional investors)
Categorisation as primary or secondary based on a
combination of location, weighted average lease expiry,
quality of tenant covenant (internal assessment based on
available market evidence) and age of construction.
Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in
the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant
recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a
comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an
individual market segment (taken together with any comparable
market segments as necessary), that market segment is
considered inactive.
Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external
independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment
properties where there has been more than a 25 basis point
movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has been a material
change in tenancy profile (including changes in the credit rating
or financial performance of a significant customer), and/or there
has been significant capital expenditure, and/or there has been
a change in use (or zoning) of the asset and/or it has been three
years since the previous external independent valuation. For
all other stabilised investment properties in an active market
segment, an internal valuation is performed based on observable
capitalisation rates and referenced to independent market data.
Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no
external independent valuations are performed and internal
valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow (DCF)
calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 10 year
period. The key inputs considered for each individual calculation
are rental growth rates, discount rates, market rental rates and
letting up incentives. Discount rates are computed using the 10
year bond rate or equivalent in each jurisdiction plus increments
to reflect country risk, tenant credit risk and industry risk. Where
possible, the components of the discount rate are benchmarked
to available market data.

During the current financial year, the fair values of 59% (2019: 76%) of stabilised investment properties held directly by Goodman were
determined based on a valuation by an independent valuer who held a recognised and relevant professional qualification and had recent
experience in the location and category of the investment property being valued. The equivalent percentage for GIT was 42% (2019: 97%).
For investments in Partnerships, all properties that were stabilised investment properties throughout FY20 were valued by an independent
valuer during the year.
Sensitivity analysis
The fair value measurement approach for directly held investment properties has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the
inputs to the valuation method used (see note 1(f)). The stabilised investment property valuations at 30 June 2020 are most sensitive to the
following inputs:
+
+
+
Capitalisation rates
Market rents
Level of lost income due to incentives provided to customers and/or the amount of vacant time on expiry of a lease.
The majority of directly held stabilised investment properties are in Australia and the average capitalisation rate and the range of market
rents are summarised in the table below:

Investment properties under development
External valuations are generally not performed for investment properties under development, but instead valuations are determined
using the feasibility studies supporting the developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility studies are based
on assumptions such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those observed in the relevant
market adjusted for a profit and risk factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function, location, size and current status
of the development and is generally in a market range of 10% to 15%. This adjusted end value is then compared to the forecast cost
of a completed development to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.
This practice of determining fair value by reference to the development feasibility is generally also applied for Goodman’s investments
in Partnerships. However, certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for investment properties under development each
financial year.

(f) Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments accounted for using the equity method comprise associates and JVs, which are collectively referred to as Partnerships.
Associates
An associate is an entity in which Goodman exercises significant influence but not control over its financial and operating policies. In the
consolidated financial statements, investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in associates are
carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. Under this method, Goodman’s share of post-acquisition
gains or losses of associates is recognised in the consolidated income statement and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves
is recognised in consolidated reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements in both profit or loss and reserves are adjusted against
the cost of the investment.
JVs
A JV is an arrangement in which Goodman is considered to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby Goodman has rights
to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated financial
statements, investments in JVs are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower of the equity
accounted amount and recoverable amount. Goodman’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated income
statement from the date the arrangement commences to the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in reserves are recognised
directly in consolidated reserves.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains arising from asset disposals to associates and JVs are eliminated to the extent of Goodman’s interest. Unrealised gains
relating to associates and JVs are eliminated against the carrying amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same
way as unrealised gains unless they evidence an impairment of an asset.

7 Receivables
8 Contract balances
Receivables comprise trade and other receivables and loans
to related parties and are recognised on the date that they
are originated, initially at fair value plus any directly attributable
transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate
method, less any impairment losses.
Receivables are derecognised when the contractual rights to
the cash flows from the receivable expire or the Group transfers
the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the receivable
in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards
of the receivable are transferred.
Contract assets primarily comprise amounts recoverable from
fixed price development contracts (disclosed net of any payments
received on account) and accrued performance fee income where
the Group assesses that the income can be reliably measured.
Contract liabilities primarily comprise consideration received
in advance of the completion of development contracts and
rental guarantees.

The Group’s trade receivables balances make up only a small
proportion of the consolidated net assets. The majority of
customers have paid and continue to pay rental income in line with
agreed leases. Goodman has provided limited short-term rental
assistance for some customers and has assessed the receivables
balances at 30 June 2020 for expected credit losses (risk of
non-payment). However, the level of provisioning was not significant
in the context of the Group’s financial position.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations
The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under Goodman’s existing contracts was
$14.3 million. This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing management and fixed price
development contracts with customers. Goodman will recognise the expected revenue in the future as the work is completed,
which is expected to be within the next 12 months.
Details regarding Goodman’s future rental income associated with existing lease agreements is included in note 6.
In addition, Goodman receives investment management, development management and property services fees under various contracts
that it has with its Partnerships. These contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically transacted on terms that are consistent
with market practice. The revenues under these contracts are linked to the assets under management, total development project costs
or gross property income of Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.
9 Assets held for sale
In March 2020, the Group together with GEP entered into an agreement with a third party to dispose a portfolio of property assets and
the Group’s operating platform in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The disposal was completed on 8 July 2020.
Accordingly, at 30 June 2020, the directly held assets and liabilities to be disposed have been presented as a disposal group held for sale.

The carrying amounts of goodwill and management rights are
tested annually for impairment. For the purpose of impairment
testing, goodwill and management rights are allocated to the
related cash-generating units monitored by management.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of the fair value (net
of disposal costs) and the value in use but given that goodwill
and management rights are not frequently traded (i.e. fair value is
difficult to ascertain), the recoverable amount will be equal to the
value in use of the cash-generating unit. In assessing value in use,
the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the cash-generating unit.
Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating
units are allocated first to reduce the goodwill allocated to
the cash-generating unit, then to the carrying amount of the
management rights allocated to the cash-generating unit and
then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the
cash-generating unit on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. An
impairment loss for management rights is reversed only to the
extent that its carrying amount does not exceed its original cost.

14 Goodwill and intangible assets
Goodman recognises both goodwill and indefinite life management
rights in its statement of financial position.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of controlled entities is stated
at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (refer below).
No amortisation is provided.
Management rights
When fund and/or investment management activities are acquired
as part of a business combination, management rights are
recorded where they arise from contractual or other legal rights,
and the fair value can be measured reliably.
Management rights are stated at cost less impairment.
Management rights are not amortised as they are assumed to have
an indefinite life given they are routinely renewed at minimal cost
and on broadly similar terms.

Impairments and reversals of impairments
There were no impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses during either the current or prior financial year.
Impairment testing for intangible assets
The carrying values of both goodwill and indefinite life management rights are assessed for impairment annually. For the purpose of
impairment testing, goodwill and indefinite life management rights are allocated to the Goodman divisions that represent the lowest level
within Goodman at which the goodwill and indefinite life management rights are monitored for internal management purposes. Where
goodwill and management rights arise in the same division, impairment testing has been performed on the combined intangible asset.
The impairment tests for all intangible assets are based on each division’s value in use. Value in use is determined by discounting the
future projected cash flows generated from continuing operations. These cash flows are for a five year period, with a year five terminal
value calculated using a terminal growth rate and an appropriate discount rate for each division.
The key drivers of value in respect of the intangible assets are:
+
+
Development cash flows, which are impacted by development volumes and margins and whether the developments are
undertaken directly by Goodman or directly by Partnerships or in joint venture with Partnerships
Management cash flows, which are driven by the level of AUM and net property income in Partnerships and, in the case of portfolio
performance fee income, the long-term performance of the Partnerships.
The estimation of future cash flows requires assumptions to be made regarding uncertain future events. The cash flows do not assume
a downturn in earnings that might arise in the event of a significant adverse change in market conditions for the Group. The cash flows
also assume that Goodman’s management contracts with Partnerships have an indefinite life. This is on the basis that in the past these
contracts have been typically renewed at minimal cost and on broadly similar financial terms.
When assessing a potential impairment, the value in use is compared against the sum of the intangible asset balance and the plant and
equipment balance for each division.

All amounts were calculated in local currency and translated to Australian dollars at the closing exchange rate at the end of the financial
period. Averages related to average amounts over the 5 year forecast period.
Value in use
The increase in the Continental Europe value in use compared to the prior year reflects the strategic focus on high value real estate.
Following the disposal of the operations in central and eastern Europe, the Group will concentrate its management and capital resources
to activities in Goodman’s core western and southern markets. The scale of the Group’s development projects will continue to grow due
to the high value nature of the sites and the complexity associated with development of infill locations. This is expected to result in higher
margins, commensurate with the increased scale and complexity of the projects, sustaining development earnings for the long term.
The value in use for the United Kingdom has increased compared to the prior year due to the growth in GUKP over the past 12 months.
Discount rates
The post-tax discount rates were determined using the capital asset pricing model, with individual assumptions referenced to market
data, where available, and adjusting for specific factors associated with each division. A risk premium was included in each division’s
discount rate, reflecting the level of forecasting, size, country and financing risks for that division. The value in use was determined using
the after-tax cash flows and the post-tax discount rates, with the discount rates then converted to the equivalent pre-tax rates.

Developments
Demand for modern, well-located industrial product in both Continental Europe and the United Kingdom remains strong. Earnings forecasts
for each division include projects which have not yet been contracted.
Continental Europe
The activities will be focused on core markets in western and southern Europe. The average annual development activity over the next five
years is expected to be 0.6 million square metres and the estimated cash outflow from Goodman and Partnerships required to fund the
assumed development pipeline across the forecast period is A$0.9 billion per annum.
United Kingdom
The activity will continue to be focused on the core markets close to London and along the M1 corridor. In the short term, developments
will include a number of sites that have already been acquired. The division’s development activity over the next five years is forecast to be
0.16 million square metres per annum, on average, which will be undertaken by GUKP, with Goodman earning development management
fee income. The estimated cash outflow from Goodman and GUKP required to finance the assumed development pipeline across the
forecast period is A$0.32 billion per annum.
Sources of funding for development activity
Capital inflows required to fund acquisitions and development activity in both divisions are assumed to arise from the following sources:
equity investment directly into Partnerships (including distribution reinvestment plans) by Goodman and its investment partners (in
some cases, the projections assume future equity investment will be greater than existing commitments); lending facilities advanced to
Partnerships; debt capital markets; customer-funded turnkey developments; and proceeds from disposals of assets. It is not practicable
to determine the percentage of the total which will flow from each source.
Funds available to Goodman and its investment partners are assumed to be sourced from available global markets and are not limited
to lending markets in the regions to which the relevant intangible asset relates.
AUM
For Continental Europe, the average annual increase in AUM of 3.4% (2019: 7.9%) over the forecast period is lower than the prior year
forecasts due to the disposal of assets in central and eastern Europe. The projected AUM assumes that most of the development over
the forecast period is for Partnerships. For the purpose of the value in use assessments, capitalisation rates are expected to be stable
over the period and no portfolio performance revenue is assumed.
For United Kingdom, the significant percentage growth in AUM over the period reflects the fact that GUKP is a relatively new Partnership,
with AUM forecast to grow from £0.5 billion to approximately £1.6 billion. During FY20, GUKP secured a number of sites that will be
developed over the next three years and underpin the projected growth. For the purpose of the forecasts, capitalisation rates are
expected to be stable over the period.

Long-term growth rates have been used to extrapolate cash flow projections beyond the period covered by the five year forecast.
For both Continental Europe and United Kingdom, the growth rate was based on the consumer price indices.
The forecast cost of developments in year five represents the estimated total funding requirements for both directly held developments
and developments within Partnerships. The cost of developments in Australian dollars has remained relatively stable.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The notes in this section focus on Goodman and GIT’s financing activities, capital structure and management of the financial risks involved.
15 Net finance (expense)/income
Interest income and expense are recognised using the effective interest rate method.
Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt.
Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed
using the effective interest rate method.

Facilities available and facilities utilised in respect of the USD denominated notes represent the face value of the notes on issue and exclude the fair value adjustment
of A$27.0 million (2019: A$45.3 million) that is being amortised over the period to maturity.
Bank guarantees are drawn from facilities available under unsecured bank loans. The guarantees are not reflected as a liability in the statements of financial position.
17 Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities primarily comprise derivative financial instruments that are recognised initially on the trade date at
which Goodman and GIT become a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
Goodman and GIT use derivative financial instruments to hedge their economic exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks
arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with the Group’s Financial Risk Management policy, Goodman
and GIT do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
Goodman and GIT’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly movements
in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement.
Cash flow hedges
Certain of Goodman and GIT’s associates and JVs continue to designate derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes. Goodman’s and GIT’s share of the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments in
associates and JVs that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss
relating to any ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)
18 Financial risk management
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
Goodman is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its
investments in New Zealand, Hong Kong, China, Japan,
Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and
Brazil. Foreign exchange risk represents the gain or loss that would
be recognised from fluctuations in currency prices against the
Australian dollar as a result of Goodman’s net investment in foreign
operations, future commercial transactions, and other foreign
currency denominated assets and liabilities.
In managing foreign exchange risks, Goodman aims to reduce
the impact of short-term fluctuations on Goodman’s earnings and
net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in
foreign exchange rates will have an impact on both earnings and
net assets.
Goodman’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to
hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency denominated
assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is
achieved by borrowing in the same currency as the overseas
investments to form a natural economic hedge against any
foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as
cross currency interest rate swaps (CCIRS) and foreign exchange
contracts (FEC).
The Group’s hedge position is monitored on an ongoing basis and
the Group will enter into new derivatives (including forward start
contracts) and close out or enter into contra derivative contracts
to manage the capital hedge position.
The Directors have ultimate responsibility for Goodman’s financial
risk management (FRM) processes and have established policies,
documented in the FRM policy, to manage Goodman’s exposure
to financial risks and to utilise capital in an efficient manner.
Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring the day
to day compliance with the Group’s FRM policies and prepares
reports for consideration by management committees and the
Board including:
+
+
+
+
Cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months
to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and
headline gearing at each month end
Debt maturity profile, to allow the Group to plan well in
advance of maturing facilities
Interest rate hedge profile over the next 10 years, to allow
the Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating rate
debt in accordance with its FRM policy
Capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring
currency derivatives, to allow the Group to manage its net
investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.
Any significant investments or material changes to the finance
facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Board.
Capital management
Goodman’s principal capital management objectives are to
maintain a strong capital base and provide funds for operating
activities (including development expenditure), capital expenditure
and investment opportunities as they arise. This is achieved
through an appropriate mix of debt and equity.
Goodman is able to alter the capital mix by issuing new Goodman
debt and equity securities or hybrid securities, by reinstating
the distribution reinvestment plan, by adjusting the timing of
development and capital expenditure and by selling assets to
reduce borrowings. Goodman also manages capital through its
distribution policy in which distributions made to Securityholders
are based on the Group’s operating profit, subject to a minimum
distribution equal to the taxable income of the Trust.
Goodman’s key financial risks are market risk (including foreign
exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.

Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% stronger against all other currencies, with all other variables held
constant, the profit attributable to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements,
would have decreased by A$58.2 million (2019: A$56.0 million decrease) for Goodman and A$22.7 million (2019: A$18.0 million) for
GIT. If the Australian dollar had been 5% weaker against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable
to Securityholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have increased by
A$58.2 million (2019: A$56.0 million increase) for Goodman and A$22.7 million (2019: A$18.0 million) for GIT.
Interest rate risk
Goodman’s interest rate risk arises from variable rate borrowings and the Group’s CCIRS that hedge the overseas investments. Goodman
adopts a policy of hedging such that between 60% and 100% of its current year exposure to changes in interest rates on borrowings
is on a fixed rate basis. Goodman enters into interest rate derivatives (IRD), comprising both interest rate swaps and interest rate caps,
to manage cash flow risks associated with the interest rates on borrowings that are floating. The IRD contracts are for 90 day intervals
and involve quarterly payments or receipts of the net amount of interest.
As at 30 June 2020, Goodman and GIT’s fixed and floating interest rate exposure (by principal) based on existing interest bearing liabilities
and derivative financial instruments is set out below:

As a result of the fixed rate interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments that existed at 30 June 2020, Goodman and
GIT would have the following fixed interest rate exposure (by principal) at the end of each of the next five financial years. This assumes
all interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments mature in accordance with current contractual terms.

Throughout the financial year, if interest rates on borrowings (based on the interest bearing liabilities and derivative financial instruments
in place at the end of the year) had been 100 basis points higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the profit attributable to
Securityholders would have increased/decreased by A$0.7 million (2019: decreased/increased by A$0.1 million) for Goodman and
decreased/increased by A$2.6 million (2019: increased/decreased by A$1.0 million) for GIT.
Price risk
Goodman and GIT are not materially exposed to price risk.

(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Goodman will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Goodman’s objective is to maintain
sufficient liquidity to fund short-term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities, debt expiries and distributions. This
is achieved through the monthly preparation of a three year cash flow forecast to understand the uses of funds and to identify potential
shortfalls in funding. This allows Goodman to plan for renewal of debt facilities, negotiation of new debt facilities, new issues of securities,
including the distribution reinvestment plan, and other potential sources of funding.
Goodman’s treasury function is responsible for reporting details of all debt maturities to the Board at its regular meetings.
Goodman seeks to spread its debt maturities such that the total debt repayable in a single financial year does not exceed Board approved
policy levels.

Goodman Group
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Capital management (continued)
18 Financial risk management (continued)
(c) Credit risk
Master netting or similar agreements
Goodman enters into derivative transactions under ISDA master
netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where certain
credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding transactions
under the agreement are terminated and a single net termination
value is payable in full and final settlement.
As Goodman does not have any current legally enforceable
right to offset, the fair values associated with derivative financial
instruments have been presented gross in the statement of
financial position. However, if a credit event occurred, the ISDA
master netting off agreement would allow A$294.7 million
(2019: A$209.6 million) and A$291.9 million (2019: A$207.2 million)
of financial assets and financial liabilities in relation to Goodman’s
and GIT’s respective derivative financial instruments to be offset.
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if
counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets,
excluding investments, which have been recognised on the
statement of financial position, is equal to the carrying amount.
Goodman has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all
potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one
customer. Goodman evaluates all customers’ perceived credit
risk and may require the lodgement of rental bonds or bank
guarantees, as appropriate, to reduce credit risk. In addition,
all rents are payable monthly in advance. Bank guarantees are
accepted from financial institutions which have an investment
grade credit rating from a major rating agency.
Concentration of credit risk may exist due to receivables in
respect of the disposals of investment properties. The credit
risk is minimised as legal title to the properties is only transferred
upon receipt of proceeds and typically Goodman will have either
received a cash deposit or be the beneficiary of a bank guarantee
for 10% to 20% of the total proceeds.
In relation to material bank deposits, Goodman minimises credit
risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The counterparty
must have a long-term credit rating that is a minimum of an “A”
category (or equivalent) from a major rating agency. The amounts
and other terms associated with bank deposits are formally
reviewed monthly.
The credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are

Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 fair values
The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by Goodman and GIT consist of IRD, CCIRS and FEC.
The fair values of derivative financial instruments are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future
cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted for
specific features of the instruments.
19 Dividends and distributions
Dividends and distributions are recognised when they are declared and before deduction of any withholding tax. Any non-recoverable
withholding tax is included in income tax.

The Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These performance
rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman securities for $nil consideration (equity settled performance rights) or, in certain
jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled performance rights), subject to the vesting
conditions having been satisfied. Further details regarding the vesting conditions are included in the remuneration report section of the

Share based payments transactions
The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee
compensation reserve over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which
the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The accumulated share based payments expense of
performance rights which have vested or lapsed is transferred from the employee compensation reserve to retained earnings.
The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the
vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non-market
vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the vesting date based on the fair
value of the rights.
The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the
performance rights granted. The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was measured as follows:
+
+
Operating EPS tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model with a
continuous dividend/distribution yield
Relative TSR tranche: these rights were valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for each of the ASX 100
stocks and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present value. The model
uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co-variance.
The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included the following:
Fair value at measurement date ($)
Security price ($)
Exercise price ($)
Expected volatility (%)
Rights' expected weighted average life (years)
Dividend/distribution yield per annum (%)
Average risk free rate of interest per annum (%)

recognised in relation to cash settled performance rights.
Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan
Under Goodman’s New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan, employees receive approximately half of their LTI in the form of performance
rights over GMT units that vest subject to meeting performance hurdles based on the achievement of distributable earnings targets by
GMT and the relative total unitholder return from holding GMT units compared to other NZX property vehicles. On vesting, delivery of units
in GMT is made from units held by Goodman or acquired on market.

Parent entity contingencies
Capitalisation Deed Poll
Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships
Investments in controlled entities and Partnerships are accounted
for at cost in the financial statements of Goodman Limited and
Goodman Industrial Trust. Distributions/dividends received from
Partnerships are recognised in the income statement, rather than
being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
The Company, GFML, as responsible entity of the Trust, GLHK and
certain of their wholly-owned controlled entities are “investors” under
a Capitalisation Deed Poll (CDP) dated 23 May 2007. Under the CDP,
each investor undertakes to pay to the relevant controlled entity
borrower (borrower) any amounts owing under finance documents for
the purpose of the CDP when the borrower fails to make a payment.
Any payments by an investor to a borrower will be by way of loan to, or
proceeds for the subscription of equity in, the borrower by the investor.
Tax consolidation
United States and Reg S senior notes
Goodman Limited is the head entity in a tax consolidated group
comprising all Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries (this excludes GIT).
The head entity recognises all of the current tax assets and liabilities of
the tax consolidated group (after elimination of intra-group transactions).
Financial guarantees
Where the parent entities have provided financial guarantees in relation
to loans and payables of controlled entities for no compensation, the
fair values of these guarantees are accounted for as contributions and
recognised as part of the cost of the investment.
Parent entity capital commitments
At 30 June 2020, the parent entities had no capital commitments
(2019: $nil).
Under the issue of notes in the United States 144A/Reg S bond
market (refer to notes 16(b) and 16(c)), controlled entities of GIT had
on issue USD and EUR notes amounting to US$1,303.8 million and
€500.0 million respectively. GL, GFML, as responsible entity of the
Trust, and GLHK have unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed
on a joint and several basis the payment of principal and interest in
respect of each of the notes.

Annual Report 2020
Recognition of portfolio performance fee income
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report (portfolio performance fee income is allocated to management income and development income).
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Goodman Group, in its capacity as an investment manager,
earns portfolio performance fees based on agreements with
some of its managed partnerships.
Recognition of portfolio performance fee income is considered
a key audit matter due to the:
+ Quantum of portfolio performance fee income, relative to the
Goodman Group’s total revenue; and
+ Significant judgment exercised by us in assessing the
amount of performance fees recognised by the Goodman
Group. The key assumptions impacting the amount of
performance fees are subject to estimation uncertainty,
bias and inconsistent application. This increases the risk of
inaccurate forecasts or a wider range of possible outcomes
for us to consider. Increased time and effort is spent by the
audit team in assessing these key assumptions.
The amount of portfolio performance fees recognised is impacted
by key assumptions including:
+ Fair value of underlying investment properties (a key driver
of the quantum of performance fees recognised by the
Goodman Group) held by the partnerships. The valuation of
investment properties contains assumptions with estimation
uncertainty such as capitalisation rates, discount rates, rent
relief provided to customers, customer covenant strength,
market rental income, weighted average lease expiry and
vacancy levels, projections of capital expenditure and
lease incentive costs. This leads to additional audit effort
due to the differing assumptions based on asset classes,
geographies and characteristics of individual investment
properties. This was further heightened with the existence of
the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in less market transactions
which are ordinarily a strong source of evidence regarding
property fair values.
+ The level of constraint applied. This is impacted by
the Goodman Group’s expectations of how much
of the performance fee is highly probable to be
received in accordance with the requirements of the
accounting standards.
In assessing this Key Audit Matter, real estate valuation
specialists, who understand the Group’s investment profile and
business, were involved.
Our procedures included:
+ Reading the Goodman Group’s agreements with managed
partnerships to understand the key terms related to
performance fees, including hurdle rates;
+ Evaluating Goodman Group’s accounting policies
regarding the recognition of performance fee income and
valuation of investment properties against accounting
standard requirements;
+ Comparing hurdle rates and performance fee rates to
underlying partnership agreements. We recalculated the
performance fee income using the performance fee rates
in the agreements applied to the value in excess of the
hurdle stipulated in the partnership agreements. We tested
the value in excess of the hurdle set amount by performing
the audit procedures over investment properties below.
We compared the recalculated performance fee to the
amount recorded by the Goodman Group; and
+ Challenging the constraints applied in determining the
amount of performance fees that are highly probable to
be received by the Goodman Group. We did this by
using our knowledge of the Goodman Group, their past
performance, business, and our industry experience
to challenge the Goodman Group’s estimate of current
and forecast managed partnership performance and the
remaining tenure of the partnerships.
For investment properties, taking into account asset classes,
geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties:
+ Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of the
managed partnerships’ external valuation experts and
internal valuers;
+ Challenging significant assumptions, with reference to
published industry reports and commentary to gain an
understanding of prevailing property market conditions;
+ On a sample basis, assessing the impact on our audit
of “market uncertainty” caveats included in valuations
performed by the Group’s external valuers by inquiring
with management or the Group’s external valuers; and
+ With the assistance of our real estate valuation specialists,
assessing a sample of significant assumptions including
capitalisation rates, discount rates, rent relief provided to
customers, customer covenant strength, market rental
income, weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels,
projections of capital expenditure and lease incentive costs.
We did this by comparing to market analysis published by
industry experts, recent market transactions, inquiries with
the Goodman Group, historical performance of the assets
and using our industry experience in the current COVID-19
economic environment.

Independent Auditor’s Report
(continued)
Recognition of development income ($882.6m)
Refer to Note 2 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Development income was a key audit matter due to:
Our procedures included:
+ its significant value (34% of revenue and other income);
+ Selecting specific contracts from development income
+ the high volume of transactions; and
+ the judgements applied by us to assess the Goodman
Group’s determination of revenue recognised during the
period in relation to contracts which remain in progress
at period end.
Development income comprises income from disposal of
inventories, other development income (including development
management services) and income from fixed price
construction contracts.
Income from development management services is recognised
progressively, requiring judgment by us when considering
the Goodman Group’s determination of the amount and extent
of the services provided based on contract deliverables.
Income from certain inventory disposals and fixed price
construction contracts is recognised in proportion to the stage
of completion of the relevant contracts. We focused on the
stage of completion estimation which is based on costs incurred
as a percentage of estimated total costs for each contract,
which included consideration of the impact of COVID-19 on
cost and duration of the contract.
recognised (in relation to contracts that remain in progress at
period end) based on quantitative and qualitative information
(such as the size and complexity of the arrangement); and
+ Evaluating Goodman Group’s recognition of development
income against the criteria in the accounting standards.
For the specific contracts selected, our procedures included:
+ Understanding the underlying contractual arrangements,
in particular their unique terms;
+ Where recognition of development income is conditional upon
certain events occurring, checking correspondence with
external parties for evidence of achievement of conditions;
+ Assessing the Goodman Group’s determination of revenue
recognised during the period in accordance with the provision
of services stipulated in the underlying contract or the stage
of completion;
+ For revenue recognised based on the stage of completion,
assessing a sample of costs incurred to date and total
forecast costs against project feasibilities; and
+ Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman
Group’s project feasibilities by comparing to commentary
published by industry experts, recent market transactions,
and our knowledge of historical performance of the assets.
As part of this we assessed the impact that COVID-19 has on
actual costs and duration of development projects and the
likely continued impact on key cost and duration assumptions
included in the Goodman Group’s project feasibilities.

Annual Report 2020
Valuation of investment properties ($1,901.2m), investments accounted for using the equity method ($9,370.8m)
and inventories ($1,180.2m)
Refer to Note 6 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The Goodman Group’s investments in property assets include
investment properties and inventories, which are held either
directly or through its investments accounted for using the
equity method.
Investment properties are held at fair value and inventories are
held at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The valuation
of property assets are determined using internal methodologies
or through the use of external valuation experts.
The valuation of property assets is a key audit matter as they
are significant in value (being 77% of total assets) and contain
assumptions with estimation uncertainty.
This leads to additional audit effort due to differing assumptions
based on asset classes, geographies and characteristics of
individual property assets. This was further heightened with
the existence of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in a decline
in market transactions which are ordinarily a strong source of
evidence regarding property fair values.
The valuation of property assets include a number of significant
assumptions:
+ Investment properties:
– capitalisation rates;
– discount rates;
– rent relief provided to customers;
– customer covenant strength;
– market rental income;
– weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels;
– projections of capital expenditure; and
– lease incentive costs.
+ Inventories:
– forecast capitalisation rates and market rental income;
– land value per square metre;
– letting up periods and lease incentive costs; and
– development costs.
In assessing this Key Audit Matter, we involved real estate
valuation specialists, who understand the Group’s investment
profile and business and the economic environment it operates in.
Our procedures included:
+ Obtaining an understanding of the Goodman Group’s
process regarding the valuation of property assets, including
specific consideration of the impact of COVID-19;
+ Assessing the methodologies used in the valuations of
property assets, for consistency with accounting standards,
industry practice and the Goodman Group’s policies; and
+ Working with real estate valuation specialists to read
published reports and industry commentary to gain an
understanding of prevailing property market conditions.
For investment properties, taking into account asset classes,
geographies and characteristics of individual investment properties:
+ Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity
of external valuation experts and Goodman Group’s
internal valuers;
+ Challenging significant assumptions, with reference to
published industry reports and commentary to gain an
understanding of prevailing property market conditions;
+ On a sample basis, assessing the impact on our audit
of “market uncertainty” caveats included in valuations
performed by the Group’s external valuers by inquiring
with management or the Group’s external valuers;
+ With assistance of real estate valuation specialists,
assessing a sample of significant assumptions including
capitalisation rates, discount rates, rent relief provided to
customers, customer covenant strength, market rental
income, weighted average lease expiry and vacancy levels,
projections of capital expenditure and lease incentive costs.
We did this by comparing to market analysis published by
industry experts, recent market transactions, inquiries with
the Goodman Group, historical performance of the assets
and using our industry experience in the current COVID-19
economic environment; and
+ Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding obtained from our testing, against accounting
standard requirements.
For inventories:
+ Challenging the key assumptions included in the Goodman
Group’s internal recoverability assessments (project
feasibilities) and valuations by comparing to commentary
published by industry experts, recent market transactions,
and our knowledge of historical performance of the assets.
145
Goodman Group
Independent Auditor’s Report
(continued)
Value of intangible assets ($845.8m)
Refer to Note 14 to the Financial Report
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in our audit
At 30 June 2020 the Goodman Group’s intangible assets
comprised goodwill and management rights. The valuation of
intangible assets was identified as a key audit matter as the
Goodman Group’s annual impairment assessment contains
significant judgments involving forecasting and discounting
future cash flows.
The impairment assessment is based on the value in use model
performed for each division of the Goodman Group. The value in
use models incorporate significant judgment in respect of future
conditions and we focussed on key assumptions such as:
+ forecast cash flows, growth rates and terminal growth rates,
taking into consideration the level and margins from ongoing
development activity, forecast funds management income
(which is primarily dependent on assets under management)
and the impact of COVID-19 on each division. The Group’s
models are sensitive to small changes in these assumptions,
which may reduce available headroom. This drives additional
audit effort specific to their feasibility and consistency of
application to the Group’s strategy; and
+ discount rates – these are complicated in nature and vary
according to the conditions the division is subject to from
time to time.
We involved valuation specialists in assessing this Key Audit Matter.
Our procedures included:
+ Considering the appropriateness of the value in use method
applied by the Goodman Group to perform the annual test
of goodwill and management rights impairment, against the
requirements of the accounting standards.
+ For divisions with significant intangible assets:
– Working with our valuation specialists, comparing
the discount rates and terminal growth rates used
in the value in use models to publicly available data
of comparable entities;
– Assessing the ability of the Goodman Group to
accurately forecast by comparing previous forecasts
to actual results;
– Comparing the division’s forecast cash flows contained
in the value in use models to Board approved forecasts;
– Challenging the divisions forecast cash flows from
development activity and funds management based on
our understanding of local market conditions, including
the impact of the COVID-19 economic environment on
each division; and
– Performing a sensitivity analysis on the discount rates,
growth rates and forecast assets under management
by applying a reasonably possible range of outcomes
to focus our further procedures.
+ Assessing the disclosures in the financial report using our
understanding from our testing and against the requirements
of the accounting standards.

Other Information
Other Information is financial and non-financial information in the
Goodman Group’s annual reporting which is provided in addition
to the Financial Report and the Auditor’s Report. The Directors
of the Company and the Directors of the Responsible Entity are
responsible for the Other Information.
The Other Information we obtained prior to the date of this Auditor’s
Report was the Directors’ Report (including the Remuneration
Report). The Chairman’s Letter, Group Chief Executive Officer’s
Report, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability, Corporate
Governance and Securities Information are expected to be made
available to us after the date of the Auditor’s Report.
Our opinion on the Financial Report does not cover the Other
Information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion
or any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception
of the Remuneration Report and our related assurance opinion.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Report, our
responsibility is to read the Other Information. In doing so, we
consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent
with the Financial Report or our knowledge obtained in the audit,
or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
We are required to report if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this Other Information, and based on the work we
have performed on the Other Information that we obtained prior to
the date of this Auditor’s Report, we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Directors
for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company and the Responsible Entity are
responsible for:
+ preparing the Financial Report that gives a true and fair view
in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the
Corporations Act 2001;
+ implementing necessary internal control to enable the
preparation of a Financial Report that gives a true and fair
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error; and
+ assessing the Goodman Group and Trust’s ability to continue
as a going concern and whether the use of the going concern
basis of accounting is appropriate. This includes disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend
to liquidate the Goodman Group or the Trust or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit
of the Financial Report
Our objective is:
+ to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial
Report as a whole is 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
Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They 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 the Financial Report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audits of the
Financial Report is located at the Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board website at:

Goodman Group
Report of the directors
Business review (continued)
Performance review
Property investment activities
The Consolidated Entity has operations in Asia, Continental
Europe and the United Kingdom, and its earnings are derived from
property investment, development and management activities.
The Board acknowledges the unprecedented times the world
is experiencing and the terrible impact COVID-19 is having on
people’s lives and livelihoods. The Consolidated Entity’s markets
have been affected at various times and to varying degrees, but the
Consolidated Entity has adapted to this new operating environment
with limited disruption and has continued to grow the business
sustainably for the long term. The Consolidated Entity plays an
important role in providing both essential infrastructure and making
a tangible difference for customers in the cities in which it operates.
The Consolidated Entity has established significant human
capital, financial resources and a well located real estate portfolio,
to sustain the business through market cycles. This is reflected
in the results for FY20 with the Consolidated Entity reporting
operating profit of $390.3 million, compared to $328.1 million
for the prior year.
In assessing Goodman Group’s underlying performance, the
directors consider operating earnings as well as Goodman Group’s
statutory profit. Operating earnings is a proxy for ‘cash earnings’
and is not an income measure under Hong Kong Financial Reporting
Standards. It is defined as profit attributable to Shareholders
adjusted for property valuations, impairment losses and other
non-cash adjustments or non-recurring items.

Property investment earnings comprise property income from
completed developments held for sale and the Consolidated
Entity’s share of the results of property investment joint ventures
(referred to by the Consolidated Entity as Partnerships). The
key drivers for maintaining or growing the Consolidated Entity’s
property investment earnings are increasing the level of assets
under management (AUM) (subject also to the Consolidated
Entity’s direct and indirect interest), maintaining or increasing
occupancy and rental levels within the portfolio, and changes
in financing arrangements.
The Consolidated Entity’s property portfolios are concentrated
in large, urban centres around the world where demand from
customers has put pressure on land use and availability.
Customers, including e-commerce, are continuing to invest in order
to improve the efficiency of their supply chains and data centre
users are looking to expand their operations. During the second
half of FY20, as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift in
consumer purchasing habits to online shopping, the Consolidated
Entity has seen increased demand for both temporary and
permanent space from customers in the food, consumer goods
and logistics sectors, particularly related to e-commerce operators
and those transitioning to online.
Despite the lockdowns and other restrictions that all major
economies have experienced in the past few months, there has
been relatively limited closure or disruption of the Consolidated
Entity’s warehouse facilities and the financial impact on the
Consolidated Entity has not been significant in the context of its
consolidated results and financial position.
Where the Consolidated Entity’s most vulnerable customers have
been impacted by the pandemic, then the Consolidated Entity has
worked with them to provide rental assistance. In the majority of
cases, assistance has been in the form of rent deferral or lease
restructure. To date, the rate of rental delinquency has not had a
material impact on the Consolidated Entity.
The Consolidated Entity’s share of investment earnings from its
cornerstone holdings in the Partnerships increased by 21.7%
to $37.6 million compared to the prior year. This was due to rental
income growth from existing properties and the completion of
developments both during FY19 and FY20.
152
During FY20, the Consolidated Entity’s share of property valuations
from the stabilised portfolios was $20.0 million. Valuation gains
were due to both capitalisation rate compression and the
growth in rental income. At 30 June 2020, the weighted average
capitalisation rate for the Consolidated Entity’s portfolios was
5.2%, compared to 5.3% at the start of FY20.
Development activities
In FY20, development earnings were $356.6 million, an increase
of 28% on the prior year and comprised 57% of total operating
earnings (2019: 53%).
Development activity continued to be strong with 28 developments
completed during the year and work in progress of $3.1 billion
across 21 projects at 30 June 2020. The increase in the
Consolidated Entity’s earnings was primarily volume driven.

Development earnings comprise development income (including
development management fees) net of expenses, income
from sales of properties (primarily inventories but also including
disposals of special purpose entities in certain jurisdictions) and the
Consolidated Entity’s share of the results of property development
Partnerships. Development income includes performance related
revenues associated with managing development activity in
the Partnerships. The key drivers for the Consolidated Entity’s
development earnings are the level of development activity, land
and construction prices, property valuations and the continued
availability of third party capital to fund development activity.
The majority of inventory disposals and fixed price contract
income arose in Europe, as the Partnerships in Continental Europe
generally acquire completed developments from the Consolidated
Entity. In the Consolidated Entity’s other operating segments,
development earnings are a mix of development management
income, including performance related income, and transactional
activity, including the Consolidated Entity’s share of development
profits reported by the Partnerships themselves.
Consistent with Goodman Group’s strategy, development activity
has been focused on key urban centres, where customer demand
is high and the supply of industrial logistics is restricted. The scale
of the projects has been growing over time as a consequence of
the high value nature of these sites and the complexity associated
with development of infill locations.
Annual Report 2020
Management activities
Management earnings in FY20 of $219.1 million increased by 2%
compared to the prior year and comprised 35% of total operating
earnings (2019: 40%). The two main drivers of management
earnings were the increase in external AUM and the increasing
contribution from portfolio performance fee income.
During FY20, external AUM increased by 6% to $21.5 billion from
$20.2 billion as set out below:

Management earnings relates to the revenue from managing the
property portfolios and the capital invested in the Partnerships
(management income). This includes performance related revenues
but excludes earnings from managing development activities in the
Partnerships, which are included in development earnings. The
key drivers for maintaining or growing management earnings are
activity levels, asset performance, and increasing the level of AUM,
which can be impacted by property valuations and asset disposals
and is also dependent on liquidity including the continued
availability of third party capital to fund both development activity
and acquisitions across the Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships.
Base management fee income, earned from the overall
management of the Partnerships, increased in line with the
increase in AUM. This was supplemented by property services
income, which increased in line with the gross property income
in the Partnerships, and other income such as leasing fees and
transactional fees.
Other items
Operating expenses increased mainly due to the growth in
development and management activity levels, particularly with
the acquisition of the business in the United Kingdom, and to
the impact of the increase in the Goodman Group security price
on employee incentive payments. Borrowing costs have fallen
as a result of lower interest rates and the balance of funding
arrangements within the Consolidated Entity. The reduction in tax
expense is primarily a function of changes to the origin and nature
of revenue arising from management and development activities.

The value of cornerstone investments in Partnerships has
increased by $49.3 million to $1,276.2 million, principally driven
by capital contributions into existing Partnerships. A reconciliation
of the current year movement in cornerstone investments in
Partnerships is detailed in note 6(e) to the consolidated financial
statements. Distributions of income and capital from cornerstone
investments in the current year amounted to $187.3 million.
The increase in development holdings by $515.0 million to $1,056.2
million is primarily due to the acquisition of the United Kingdom
business and additional expenditure on development projects in
Continental Europe, China and the United Kingdom during the year.
Other assets included receivables, other financial assets, contract
assets, property, plant and equipment and tax assets (including
deferred tax). Other liabilities included trade and other payables,
the provision for dividends to Shareholders, fair values of derivative
financial instruments that are in a liability position, employee
benefits and tax liabilities (including deferred tax). The movement
during the year was primarily due to the liability fair values of certain
of the derivatives.
The movement in operating and investing cash flows from
the comparative year is primarily attributable to the timing of
development activities undertaken, both on balance sheet and in
Partnerships, compared with the prior year. The higher operating
cash inflow from development activities was partly offset by
decreased cash flows from management activities.
Investing cash flows primarily relate to investments in the
Partnerships to fund development expenditure.
Financing cash flows comprise principally of proceeds of loans
from related parties offset by dividends paid in FY20. The higher
financing cash outflow in the current financial year was due to the
repayment of related party loans using excess operating cash.
Outlook
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material
financial impact on the Consolidated Entity for FY21, the business
conditions for industrial assets are expected to remain favourable.
The Consolidated Entity is strategically well placed given its
financial and operational strength. An increase in performance is
anticipated from each of the Consolidated Entity’s earning streams,
subject to there being no material adverse change in market
conditions or the occurrence of other unforeseen events.
Further information as to other likely developments in the
operations of the Consolidated Entity and the expected results of
those operations in future financial years has not been included in
this report of the directors because disclosure of the information
would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the
Consolidated Entity.
154
Risks
Goodman Group identifies strategic and operational risks for each
of its regions as part of its strategy process. The key risks, an
assessment of their likelihood of occurrence and consequences
and controls that are in place to mitigate the risks are reported to
the Goodman Group board annually.
Goodman Group has established formal systems and processes
to manage the risks at each stage of its decision making process.
This is facilitated by a Goodman Group Investment Committee
comprising senior executives, chaired by the Group Chief Executive
Officer, which considers all major operational decisions and
transactions. The Goodman Group Investment Committee meets
on a weekly basis.
The Goodman Group board has separate board committees to
review and assess key risks. The Risk and Compliance Committee
reviews and monitors a range of material risks in Goodman
Group’s risk management systems including, among other risks,
market, operational, sustainability, regulation and compliance and
information technology. The Goodman Group Audit Committee
reviews and monitors financial risk management and tax policies.
Annual Report 2020
155
Goodman Group
Report of the directors
Business review (continued)
The key risks faced by Goodman Group and the controls that have been established to manage those risks are set out below:
Risk Areas
Mitigation
Capital management
Ensuring long-term availability of funding from both
investors and financial institutions to support the
sustainability of the business and the delivery of
Goodman Group’s strategy.
Economic and
geopolitical environment
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently forecast to cause
the worst global recession since World War II and more
than twice as deep as the recession associated with
the 2007-09 global financial crisis. How prolonged this
recession will be is uncertain.
Geopolitical and geo-economic tensions are still
heightened and continues to rise among the world’s
major powers.
The global economic climate and future movements in
interest rates present risks and opportunities in property
and financing markets and the businesses of Goodman
Group’s customers which can impact both the delivery
of Goodman Group’s strategy and financial performance.
+ Goodman Group board approved financial risk
management policy
+ Prudent capital management with cash flow
requirements, gearing and available liquidity reviewed
monthly and reported to the Goodman Group board
+ Diversification of debt funding sources and maturities
+ Diversification of investment partners
+ Change in distribution pay-out ratio consistent with
contribution to increasing development workbook.
+ Global diversification of Goodman Group’s
property portfolios
+ Focus on core property portfolios in key urban
market locations
+ Focus on cost management
+ Prudent capital management with low gearing
and significant available liquidity to allow for potential
market shocks
+ Co-investment with local capital partners.
Governance,
regulation and
compliance
Non-compliance and changes to the regulatory
environments (including tax) impact Goodman Group’s
business, including its reputation.
+ Independent governance structures
+ Core values and attitudes, with an embedded
compliance culture focused on best practice
+ Dedicated Chief Risk Officer and Compliance Officer
+ Review of transactions by the Goodman Group
+ Investment Committee.
People and culture
Retaining the executive management team, who
support the sustainability of the business.
Maintaining an organisational culture, in a changing
workplace environment, commensurate with
Goodman Group’s values.
+ Succession planning for senior executives
+ Competitive remuneration structures
+ Performance management and review
+ Goodman Group values program.
Development
Development risks may arise from location,
site complexity, planning and permitting, infrastructure,
size, duration along with general contractor capability.
+ Review of development projects by the
Goodman Group Investment Committee
+ Goodman Group defined design specifications,
which cover environmental, technological,
and safety requirements, protecting against
short-term obsolescence
+ Internal audit reviews with reporting to the
Goodman Group Risk and Compliance Committee
+ Insurance program, both Goodman Group and
general contractor, including project specific insurance
+ Ongoing monitoring and reporting of work in
progress and levels of speculative development,
with Goodman Group board oversight including
limits with respect to speculative development.
156
Annual Report 2020
Risk Areas
Mitigation
Disruption,
changes in demand
and obsolescence
Through advancement in technology and rapid growth
in e-commerce (as seen through automation/robotics,
driverless vehicles and an increase in demand for data
centre use), there is a longer-term risk that warehouses
become obsolete and not fit for purpose through their
specialisation and/or location.
+ Key urban market strategy – urban, infill locations
support re-usability of property
+ Adaptable and re-usable building design – ease to
reconfigure for another customer
+ Geographic diversification
+ Capital partnering transfers risks into partnerships
+ Insurance program (both Goodman Group’s and
key contractors), including project specific insurance
covering design and defects
+ Long lease terms with prime customers.
Environmental and
climate change
Failure to properly identify and mitigate both physical and

Goodman Group
Independent auditor’s report
To the members of Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (Incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited ("the Company") and its
subsidiaries ("the Group") set out on pages 162 to 206, which
comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 June 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated cash flow statement for the year then ended and
notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true
and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group
as at 30 June 2020 and of its consolidated financial performance
and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards
("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public
Accountants ("HKICPA") and have been properly prepared in
compliance with the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards
on Auditing ("HKSAs") issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Group in
accordance with the HKICPA’s Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants ("the Code") and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the
audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion.
Information other than the consolidated financial
statements and auditor’s report thereon
The directors are responsible for the other information which
comprises all the information included in the Company’s Report
of the directors.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, 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 consolidated
financial statements
The directors are responsible for the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view
in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA and the
Hong Kong Companies Ordinance and for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors
are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit
of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the consolidated 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. This report is made
solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 405 of the
Hong Kong Companies Ordinance, and for no other purpose.
We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any
other person for the contents of this report.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs
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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise
professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
+
+
+
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the directors.
160
+
+
+
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the
going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit
evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast signifi cant doubt
on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures
in the consolidated fi nancial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
consolidated fi nancial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated fi nancial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
Obtain suffi cient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
fi nancial information of the entities or business activities within
the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated fi nancial
statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision
and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the directors regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signifi cant
audit fi ndings, including any signifi cant defi ciencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.

the provision of any guarantee or security in connection with
any financial accommodation
Entering into any joint borrowing or joint financial
accommodation and providing any guarantee, security,
indemnities and undertakings in connection with the relevant
joint borrowing or joint financial accommodation.
A party need not do anything under the above arrangements to
the extent that the party considers that it is not in the interests of
Goodman Group Securityholders as a whole, or would cause a
member of the party’s group to contravene or breach applicable
laws or particular finance arrangements.
On the basis of the above, the consolidated financial statements
have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRSs
requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates
and associated assumptions are based on historical experience
and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making
the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that
are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an
ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only
that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.
(c) Accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as
transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders
and therefore no gain or loss and no goodwill is recognised as a
result of such transactions.
(d) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the consolidated financial statements of each of
the Company’s subsidiaries are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are
presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional
and presentation currency.
Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated to each entity’s
functional currency at rates approximating the foreign exchange
rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Amounts receivable
and payable in foreign currencies at the reporting date are
translated at the rates of exchange ruling on that date. Resulting
exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms
of historical cost are translated at rates of exchange applicable at
the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items which are
measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Translation of controlled foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into
Australian dollars at foreign exchange rates applicable at the
reporting date.
Revenue and expenses are translated at weighted average rates for
the financial year. Exchange differences arising on translation are
taken directly to the foreign currency translation reserve until the
disposal or partial disposal of the operations.
Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part
of the net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in the
foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation.

(e) Changes in accounting policies
(ii) Lessee accounting
The Consolidated Entity has adopted HKFRS 16 Leases with
a date of initial application of 1 July 2019.
HKFRS 16 Leases
HKFRS 16 replaces HKAS 17 Leases and other existing guidance
on leases. It introduces a single lessee accounting model and
requires a lessee to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases
with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is
of low value. A lessee is required to recognise a right of use asset
representing its right to use the underlying leased asset and a lease
liability representing its obligations to make lease payments.
The Consolidated Entity applied HKFRS 16 on 1 July 2019 using
the modified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the
cumulative effect of initially applying this standard is recognised at
the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been
restated and continues to be reported under HKAS 17.
Further details of the nature and effect of the changes to previous
accounting policies and the transition options applied are set
out below:
Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019
(i) Definition
HKFRS 16 defines a lease on the basis of whether a customer
controls the use of an identified asset for a period of time, which
may be determined by a defined amount of use. Control is
conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the use
of the identified asset and to obtain substantially all of the economic
benefits from that use.
The Consolidated Entity applied the practical expedient to
grandfather the definition of a lease on transition. This means that it
will apply HKFRS 16 to all contracts entered into before 1 July 2019
that had been identified as leases in accordance with the old
leases accounting standard (HKAS 17).
The Consolidated Entity recognises a right of use asset and a
lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use
asset is initially measured at cost plus any direct costs incurred
and an estimate of costs to restore the underlying asset or the
site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the
straight-line method.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the
lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date,
discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate. After
initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost
and interest expense is calculated using the effective interest rate
method. The lease liability is remeasured when there is a change
in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate,
or there is a change arising from the reassessment of whether
the Consolidated Entity will be reasonably certain to exercise an
extension or termination option. The new standard will result in
the gross up of assets and liabilities where the Consolidated Entity
leases office buildings, motor vehicles, office equipment and
development land classified as inventories.
The right of use assets in respect of office buildings, motor
vehicles and office equipment are depreciated using the
straight-line method over the period of the lease. Ground
leases of development land that are classified as inventories are
not depreciated, but are assessed at each reporting date for
impairments to ensure they are recorded at the lower of cost and
net realisable value.
(iii) Leasehold investment property
Under HKFRS 16, the Consolidated Entity is required to account
for all properties on leasehold land as investment properties when
these properties are held for the purpose of leasing to produce
rental income and/or for capital appreciation. The adoption of
HKFRS 16 does not have a significant impact on the Consolidated
Entity’s financial statements as the Consolidated Entity has
previously applied HKAS 40 Investment property, to account
for all of its leasehold properties that were held for investment
purposes at fair value. Consequentially, these leasehold investment
properties continue to be carried at fair value.
(iv) Lessor accounting
The accounting policies applicable to the Consolidated Entity as a
lessor remain substantially unchanged from those under HKAS 17.

(vi) Impact on results for the period
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Consolidated Entity’s accounting policies and
disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Consolidated Entity uses market observable data as far as
possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair
value hierarchy and have been defined as follows:
+
+
+
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 (unobservable inputs).
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair
values is included in the following notes:
Note 6 – Property assets
+
+ Note 14 – Financial risk management.
After the initial recognition of right of use assets and lease liabilities
at 1 July 2019, Consolidated Entity, as a lessee, is required to
recognise interest expense on the outstanding balance of the
lease liability, and the depreciation of the right of use asset, instead
of the previous policy of recognising rental expenses incurred
under operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The impact on profit or loss in the current period as a result of
this change in policy is not significant compared to the results if
HKAS 17 continued to apply.
In the consolidated cash flow statement, the Consolidated Entity,
as a lessee, has classified the principal portion of lease payments
within financing activities and the interest portion within operating
activities. Under HKAS 17, the entire lease payment was classified
within operating activities. The Consolidated Entity has determined
that the change does not have a significant impact on the
presentation of cash flows.
(f) Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
The Consolidated Entity has not applied any new standard or
interpretation that is not yet effective for the current accounting
period. None of the new accounting standards or interpretations
is expected to have a significant impact on the future results of the
Consolidated Entity.
(g) Critical accounting estimates used in the preparation
of the consolidated financial statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires
estimates and assumptions concerning the application of
accounting policies and the future to be made by the Consolidated
Entity. Estimates are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year can be found in the
following notes:
+ Note 6 – Property assets
+ Note 14 – Financial risk management.
The accounting impacts of revisions to estimates are recognised
in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future
periods affected.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Results for the year
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
2 Profit before interest and income tax
Gross property income
Gross property income comprises rental income under operating
leases (net of incentives provided) and amounts billed to customers
for outgoings (e.g. rates, levies, cleaning, security, etc.). Amounts
billed to customers for outgoings are a cost recovery for the
Consolidated Entity and are recognised once the expense has
been incurred. The expense is included in property expenses.
Rental income under operating leases is recognised on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease contract. Where operating
lease rental income is recognised relating to fixed increases in
rentals in future years, an asset is recognised. This asset is a
component of the relevant investment property carrying amount.
The cost of lease incentives provided to customers is amortised on
a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as a reduction of gross
property income.
Management and development income
The revenue from management and development activities is
measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with
a customer. The Consolidated Entity recognises revenue when it
transfers control over a product or service to a customer.
Management income
Fee income derived from investment management and property
services is recognised and invoiced progressively as the services
are provided. Customers make payments usually either monthly
or quarterly in arrears.
Performance related management income generally relates
to portfolio performance fee income, which is recognised
progressively as the services are provided but only when the
income can be reliably measured and is highly probable of not
being reversed. These portfolio performance fees are typically
dependent on the overall returns of a Partnership relative to an
agreed benchmark return, assessed over the life of the Partnership,
which can vary from one year to seven years. The returns are
impacted by operational factors such as the quality and location
of the portfolio, active property management, rental income rates
and development activity but can also be significantly affected by
changes in global and local economic conditions. Accordingly,
portfolio performance fee revenue is only recognised towards the
end of the relevant assessment period, as prior to this revenue
recognition is not considered to be sufficiently certain.
In determining the amount of revenue that can be reliably
measured, management prepares a sensitivity analysis to
understand the impact of changes in asset valuations on
the potential performance fee at the assessment date. The
assessment of revenue will depend on the prevailing market
conditions at the reporting date relative to long-term averages and
also the length of time until the assessment date e.g. the longer
the time period to assessment date, the greater the impact of the
sensitivity analysis. The potential portfolio performance fee revenue
is then recognised based on the length of time from the start of
170
the assessment period to the reporting date as a proportion of
the total assessment period. Where the income is attributable to
development activities that have occurred over the performance
fee period, then it is reported as development income, otherwise
the income is reported as management income. The Partnerships
make payments in respect of portfolio performances fees at
the end of the performance periods, once the attainment of the
conditions has been verified and the amount of the fee has been
agreed by all parties.
Development income – disposal of inventories
The disposal of inventories is recognised at the point in time when
control over the property asset is transferred to the customer.
This will generally occur on transfer of legal title and payment
in full by the customer. The gain or loss on disposal of inventories
is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of
the asset at the time of disposal and the proceeds on disposal
(less transaction costs) and is included in profit or loss in the
period of disposal.
Development income – development management services
Fee income from development management services (including
master-planning, development management and overall project
management) is recognised progressively as the services are
provided in proportion to the stage of completion by reference to
costs. Payments are received in accordance with the achievement
of agreed milestones over the development period. The
development period can be up to twenty four months for larger and
more complex developments.
Performance related development income includes income
associated with the returns from individual developments under
the Consolidated Entity’s management and performance fee
income that relates to development activity. Income in respect of
individual developments is recognised by the Consolidated Entity
on attainment of the performance related conditions, which is
when the income can be reliably measured and is highly probable
of not being reversed. These amounts are paid by the Partnership
when the amounts have been measured and agreed. Income
associated with development activities as part of a portfolio
assessment is recognised on the same basis as outlined above
in the management income section.
Development income – fixed price development contracts
Certain development activities are assessed as being fixed
price development contracts. This occurs when a signed
contract exists, either prior to the commencement of or during
the development phase, to acquire a development asset from
the Consolidated Entity on completion. Revenue and expenses
relating to these development contracts are recognised in
profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the
relevant contracts by reference to costs. The payments may
be on completion of the development once legal title has been
transferred. The development period can be up to twenty four
months for larger and more complex developments.
Annual Report 2020
Net gain on disposal of investment properties
The disposal of an investment property is recognised at the point in time when control over the property has been transferred to
the purchaser.
Employee benefits
Wages, salaries and annual leave
Wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the
reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees’ services provided to the reporting date. These are calculated at
undiscounted amounts based on rates that are expected to be paid as at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers’
compensation insurance and payroll tax.
Bonuses
A liability is recognised in other payables and accruals for bonuses where there is a contractual obligation or where there is a past
practice that has created a constructive obligation. Liabilities for bonuses that are expected to be settled within 12 months are measured
at the amounts expected to be paid, including related on-costs, when they are settled. Liabilities for bonuses, including related on-costs,
which are expected to be settled after more than 12 months are discounted to reflect the estimated timing of payments.
Defined contribution retirement plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised as an expense as incurred.
Profit before interest and income tax has been arrived at after crediting/(charging) the following items:
Management income
Portfolio performance fees
Management income
Income from disposal of inventories
Development income from fixed price development contracts
Other development income, including development management
Net gain on disposal of special purpose development entities
Development income
Inventory cost of sales
Other development expenses
Development expenses
Included in employee expenses are the following items:
Salaries, wages and other benefits

3 Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Entity
that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues
and incur expenses. The Consolidated Entity reports the results
and financial position of its operating segments based on the
internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group Chief Executive
Officer in order to assess each segment’s performance and to
allocate resources to them.
Operating segment information is reported on a geographic basis
and the Consolidated Entity has determined that its operating
segments are Asia (which consists of Greater China and Japan),
Continental Europe and the United Kingdom.
The activities and services undertaken by the operating
segments include:
+
Property investment, comprising the Consolidated Entity’s
cornerstone investments in Partnerships
+ Management activities, both fund and property management
Development activities, including development of directly
+
owned assets (predominantly disclosed as inventories)
and management of development activities for the
Consolidated Entity’s Partnerships.
The segment results that are reported to the Group Chief Executive
Officer are based on profit before net finance expense and income
tax expense, and also exclude non-cash items such as fair value
adjustments and impairments, corporate expenses and incentive
based remuneration. The assets allocated to each operating
segment primarily include inventories, and the operating segment’s
investments in Partnerships, but exclude receivables from GL, GIT
and their controlled entities, income tax receivables and corporate
assets. The liabilities allocated to each operating segment primarily
relate to trade and other payables associated with the operating
activities, but exclude payables to GL, GIT and their controlled
entities, provision for dividends to Shareholders, income tax
payables and corporate liabilities.
The accounting policies used to report segment information are
the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial
statements for the Consolidated Entity.
For the purpose of operating segment reporting, there are no
material intersegment revenues and costs.
Information regarding the operations of each reportable segment
is included on the following pages.

The provision for Hong Kong profits tax for year ended 30 June 2020
is calculated at 16.5% (2019: 16.5%) of the estimated assessable
profits for the year. Taxation for overseas subsidiaries is charged at the
appropriate current rates of taxation ruling in the relevant countries.
4 Income tax expense
Income tax for the period comprises current tax and movements
in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Current tax and movements
in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that they relate to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the
relevant amounts of tax are recognised in other comprehensive
income or directly in equity respectively.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for
the period, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of
previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from deductible and taxable
temporary differences respectively, being the differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets also arise from
unused tax losses and unused tax credits. Apart from differences
which arise on initial recognition of assets and liabilities, all deferred
tax liabilities and all deferred tax assets, to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the asset can be utilised, are recognised.
The amount of deferred tax recognised is measured based on
the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying
amount of the assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets
and liabilities are not discounted.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Components of investment properties
6 Property assets
(a) Types of property assets
Investment in property assets includes both inventories and
investment properties (including those under development), which
may be held either directly or through investments in Partnerships.
Inventories
Inventories relate to land and property developments that are held
for sale or development and sale in the normal course of business.
Where property developments are forecast to be completed
and sold more than 12 months after the reporting date, then the
inventories are classified as non-current.
Work in progress in relation to land subdivision and development
projects includes the costs of acquisition, planning, management
and development and holding costs such as interest and taxes.
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the normal
course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and
selling expenses. The calculation of net realisable value requires
estimates and assumptions which are continually evaluated and
are based on historical experience and expectations of future
events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Investment properties
Investment properties comprise investment interests in land and
buildings held for the purpose of leasing to produce rental income
and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are carried
at fair value. The calculation of fair value requires estimates and
assumptions which are continually evaluated and are based on
historical experience and expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Investment
properties are not depreciated as they are subject to continual
maintenance and regularly revalued on the basis described below.
Changes in the fair value of investment properties are recognised
directly in profit or loss.
Land and buildings (including integral plant and equipment)
comprising investment properties are regarded as composite assets
and are disclosed as such in the consolidated financial statements.
Investment property carrying values include the costs of acquiring
the assets and subsequent costs of development, including costs
of all labour and materials used in construction, costs of managing
the projects, holding costs and borrowing costs incurred during the
development periods.
Amounts provided to customers as lease incentives and assets
relating to fixed rental income increases in operating lease
contracts are included within investment property values. Lease
incentives are amortised over the term of the lease on a straight-line
basis. Direct expenditure associated with leasing a property is also
capitalised within investment property values and amortised over
the term of the lease.
Classification of investment properties
Investment properties are classified as either properties under
development or stabilised properties. Investment properties
under development include land, new investment properties in the
course of construction and investment properties that are being
redeveloped. Stabilised investment properties are all investment
properties not classified as being under development and would
be completed properties that are leased or are available for lease
to customers.
For investment properties under development, the carrying values
are reviewed by management at each reporting date to consider
whether they reflect their fair value and at completion external
valuations are obtained to determine the fair values.
For stabilised investment properties, independent valuations are
obtained at least every three years to determine the fair values. At
each reporting date between obtaining independent valuations, the
carrying values are reviewed by management to ensure they reflect
the fair values.
Deposits for investment properties
Deposits and other costs associated with acquiring investment
properties that are incurred prior to obtaining legal title are
recorded at cost and disclosed as other assets in the consolidated
statement of financial position.

(c) Estimates and assumptions in determining property
carrying values
Inventories
For both inventories held directly and inventories held in
Partnerships, external valuations are not performed but instead
valuations are determined using the feasibility studies supporting
the land and property developments. The end values of the
developments in the feasibility studies are based on assumptions
such as capitalisation rates, letting up periods and incentives that
are consistent with those observed in the relevant market. If the
feasibility study calculations indicate that the forecast cost of a
completed development will exceed the net realisable value, then
the inventories are impaired.
Stabilised investment properties
The fair value of stabilised investment properties is based on
current prices in an active market for similar properties in the
same location and condition and subject to similar lease and
other contracts. The current price is the estimated amount for
which a property could be exchanged between a willing buyer
and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper
marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgably,
prudently and without compulsion.
Approach to determination of fair value
The approach to determination of fair value of investment
properties is applied to both investment properties held directly
and investment properties held in Partnerships.
Valuations are determined based on assessments and estimates
of uncertain future events, including upturns and downturns in
property markets and availability of similar properties, vacancy
rates, market rents and capitalisation and discount rates. Recent
and relevant sales evidence and other market data are taken into
account. Valuations are either based on an external, independent
valuation or on an internal valuation.
Annual Report 2020
External valuations are undertaken only where market segments
were observed to be active. In making the determination of
whether a market segment is active, the following characteristics
are considered:
+
Function of the asset (distribution/warehouse or
suburban office)
+ Location of the asset (city, suburb or regional area)
+
Carrying value of the asset (categorised by likely
appeal to private (including syndicates), national and
institutional investors)
Categorisation as primary or secondary based on a
combination of location, weighted average lease expiry,
quality of tenant covenant (internal assessment based
on available market evidence) and age of construction.
Each property asset is assessed and grouped with assets in
the same or similar market segments. Information on all relevant
recent sales is also analysed using the same criteria to provide a
comparative set. Unless three or more sales are observed in an
individual market segment (taken together with any comparable
market segments as necessary), that market segment is
considered inactive.
Where a market segment is observed to be active, then external,
independent valuations are performed for stabilised investment
properties where there has been more than a 25 basis points (bps)
movement in capitalisation rates and/or there has been a material
change in tenancy profile and/or there has been significant capital
expenditure, and/or there has been a change in use (or zoning)
of the asset and/or it has been three years since the previous
external, independent valuation. For all other stabilised investment
properties in an active market segment, an internal valuation is
performed based on observable capitalisation rates and referenced
to independent market data.
Where a market segment is observed to be inactive, then no
external, independent valuations are performed and internal
valuations are undertaken based on discounted cash flow (DCF)
calculations. The DCF calculations are prepared over a 10 year
period. The key inputs considered for each individual calculation
are rental growth rates, discount rates, market rental rates and
letting up incentives. Discount rates are computed using the
10 year bond rate or equivalent in each jurisdiction plus increments
to reflect country risk, tenant credit risk and industry risk. Where
possible, the components of the discount rate are benchmarked
to available market data.
Market assessment
The lockdowns and economic impacts from the COVID-19
pandemic commenced at different time, with Asia affected from
December 2019 and Europe from February 2020. The independent
valuers would normally calculate fair values using both observable
capitalisation rates and discounted cash flows. At the start of the
pandemic, the independent valuers were concerned that historic
market transactional evidence would not be appropriate to use in
their assessments of the valuations of the investment properties
and certain of their valuations undertaken at March 2020 for the
Partnerships placed a greater reliance on the discounted cash flow
methodology and most valuation reports included a reference to
the material uncertainty that existed in the market at that time.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Operating assets and liabilities (continued)
6 Property assets (continued)
However, in the last quarter of the financial year, it became clear
that asset values in the industrial, logistics and warehousing
sectors had been less impacted than those for other real estate
asset classes. This was evidenced by market transactions in the
three months ended 30 June 2020 that were completed at values
consistent with the reported valuations from the independent
valuers. Accordingly, at 30 June 2020, the independent valuers
have been able to prepare valuations using both observable
capitalisation rates and discounted cash flows and relatively few
valuation reports included a reference to the uncertainty in the
market that was specific to the subject property.
At 30 June 2020, the Board has been able to assess that all
markets in which the Consolidated Entity operated were active
and as a consequence, no adjustments have been made to the
carrying values of the Consolidated Entity’s stabilised investment
property portfolios on the basis of internally prepared discounted
cash flow valuations.
The overall weighted average capitalisation rates for the divisional
portfolios (including Partnerships) are set out in the table below:

Investment properties under development
External valuations are generally not performed for investment
properties under development, but instead valuations are
determined using the feasibility studies supporting the
developments. The end values of the developments in the feasibility
studies are based on assumptions such as capitalisation rates,
letting up periods and incentives that are consistent with those
observed in the relevant market adjusted for a profit and risk
factor. This profit and risk factor is dependent on the function,
location, size and current status of the development and is
generally in a market range of 10% to 15%. This adjusted end value
is then compared to the forecast cost of a completed development
to determine whether there is an increase or decrease in value.
This practice of determining fair value by reference to the
development feasibility is generally also applied for the
Consolidated Entity’s investments in Partnerships. However,
certain Partnerships do obtain independent valuations for
investment properties under development each financial year.

(e) Investments accounted for using the equity method
Joint ventures
A joint venture (JV) is an arrangement (referred to by the Consolidated Entity as a Partnership) in which the Consolidated Entity is considered
to have joint control for accounting purposes, whereby the Consolidated Entity has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than
rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, investments in JVs are accounted for using the
equity method. Investments in JVs are carried at the lower of the equity accounted amount and recoverable amount. The Consolidated
Entity’s share of the JVs’ net profit or loss is recognised in the consolidated profit or loss from the date the arrangement commences to
the date the arrangement ceases. Movements in reserves are recognised directly in the consolidated reserves.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Unrealised gains arising from asset disposals with JVs, including those relating to contributions of non-monetary assets on establishment,
are eliminated to the extent of the Consolidated Entity’s interest. Unrealised gains relating to JVs are eliminated against the carrying
amount of the investment. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, unless they evidence an impairment
of an asset.

GJDP undertakes property development activities, with completed developments sold at, or shortly after, completion depending on
leasing status. The Consolidated Entity’s other Partnerships have a long-term remit to hold investment properties to earn rental income
and for capital appreciation, although they will undertake developments when an appropriate opportunity arises.

Operating assets and liabilities (continued)
7 Receivables (continued)
7 Receivables
Impairment
Non-derivative financial assets
Non-financial assets
The Consolidated Entity initially recognises loans and receivables
and deposits on the date that they are originated. All other financial
assets are recognised initially on the trade date at which the
Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial asset when
the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or
it transfers the right to receive the contractual cash flows on the
financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks
and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.
Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or
retained by the Consolidated Entity is recognised as a separate
asset or liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount
presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when,
and only when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right to offset
the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise
the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s assets
(except inventories, refer to note 6(d); and deferred tax assets,
refer to note 4) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication
exists, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount.
The impairment is recognised in profit or loss in the reporting
period in which it occurs.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount
of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss,
unless an asset has previously been revalued, in which case the
impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that
previous revaluation, with any excess recognised through profit
or loss.
Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units
are allocated to the carrying amount of any identified intangible
asset and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets
in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.
Loans and receivables
Financial assets and contract assets
The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss allowance
for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets measured at
amortised cost and contract assets. Financial assets measured
at amortised cost include cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables, amounts and loans due from related parties and
other receivables.
Other financial assets measured at fair value are not subject to the
ECL assessment.
Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market.
Such assets are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly
attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition,
loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method, less allowance for impairment of
doubtful debts, except where the receivables are interest-free
loans made to related parties without any fixed repayment terms
or the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases,
the receivables are stated at cost less allowance for impairment
of doubtful debts.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables,
amounts due from related parties and loans to related parties.
Amounts recoverable on development contracts
Amounts recoverable on development contracts arise when the
Consolidated Entity contracts to sell a completed development
asset either prior to or during the development phase. The
receivables are stated at cost plus profit recognised to date less an
allowance for foreseeable losses and less amounts already billed.
184
Annual Report 2020
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all expected cash shortfalls.
In measuring ECLs, the Consolidated Entity takes into account information about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future
economic conditions.
Impairment loss allowances for trade receivables, amounts due from related parties, other receivables and contract assets are measured
at an amount equal to a lifetime ECL. Lifetime ECLs are losses that are expected to result from all possible default events over the
expected lives of the items to which the ECL model applies.
The Consolidated Entity recognises an impairment loss allowance equal to the expected losses within 12 months after the reporting date
on loans to related parties, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the loans since initial recognition, in which case the
loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the fair value of each class of receivable mentioned above. All non-current
receivables of the Consolidated Entity are due within five years from the reporting date. There is no material difference between the
carrying values and the fair values of receivables.
Trade receivables
No trade receivables were impaired at 30 June 2020 and 2019. There are no significant overdue trade receivables at 30 June 2020.
Other receivables
At 30 June 2020, none of the other receivables balance was overdue or impaired (2019: $nil).
Amounts due from related parties
At 30 June 2020, none of the amounts due from related parties was overdue or impaired (2019: $nil). Amounts due from related parties
are typically repayable within 30 days. The amounts due from related parties are unsecured.
Loans to related parties
Loans to related parties principally relate to loans to fellow subsidiaries of GL and GIT and loans to JVs. Refer to note 21(c) for details of
loans to related parties. During the year, no impairment losses were recognised on loans to related parties (2019: $nil). The loans to related
parties are unsecured.

Transaction price allocated to the remaining contract obligations
The amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations under the Consolidated Entity’s existing contracts
is $14.3 million (2019: $21.9 million). This amount represents revenue expected to be recognised in the future from ongoing management
and fixed price development contracts with customers. The Consolidated Entity will recognise the expected revenue in the future as the
work is completed, which is expected to be within the next 12 months.
In addition, the Consolidated Entity receives investment management, development management and property services fees under
various contracts that it has with its Partnerships. These contracts are for varying lengths of time and are typically transacted on terms that
are consistent with market practice. The revenues under these contracts are linked to the assets under management, total development
project costs or gross property income of the Partnerships and are invoiced as the services are provided.

Non-derivative financial liabilities
The Consolidated Entity initially recognises debt securities issued and subordinated liabilities on the date that they are originated. All other
financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument.
The Consolidated Entity derecognises a financial liability when the contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only
when, the Consolidated Entity has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends to either settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.
The Consolidated Entity has classified non-derivative financial liabilities into the other financial liabilities category. Such financial liabilities
are recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these financial liabilities
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
12 Finance income and expense
Finance income
Interest is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method, and, if not received at the reporting date, is reflected
in the consolidated statement of financial position as a receivable.
Finance expense
Expenditure incurred in obtaining debt finance is offset against the principal amount of the interest bearing liability to which it relates,
and is recognised as a finance cost on an effective interest rate basis over the life of the facility or until the facility is significantly modified.
Where a facility is significantly modified, any unamortised expenditure in relation to that facility and incremental expenditure incurred in
modifying the facility are recognised as a finance cost in the financial year in which the significant modification occurs.
Finance costs relating to a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the cost of that asset using a weighted average cost of debt.
Qualifying assets are assets which take a substantial time to get ready for their intended use or sale. All other finance costs are expensed
using the effective interest rate method.

13 Other financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Consolidated Entity become a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Derivative financial instruments and hedging
The Consolidated Entity uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its economic exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks
arising from operating, investing and financing activities. In accordance with its treasury policy, the Consolidated Entity does not hold or
issue derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.
The Consolidated Entity’s derivative financial instruments are not designated as a hedge for accounting purposes, and accordingly
movements in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in unlisted securities
Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in unlisted securities are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognised as
other comprehensive income and presented in the asset revaluation reserve in equity. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss
unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in other
comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. When such an asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss in
equity is transferred to retained earnings.

14 Financial risk management
The Consolidated Entity’s capital management and financial risk management processes are managed as part of the wider Goodman
Group. There are established policies, documented in Goodman Group’s financial risk management (FRM) policy document, to ensure
both the efficient use of capital and the appropriate management of the exposure to financial risk.
Goodman Group’s treasury function is responsible for monitoring the day to day compliance with Goodman Group’s FRM policies and
prepares reports for consideration by management committees and Goodman Group’s Board including:
+
+
+
+
Cash flow projections over a period of at least 12 months to assess the level of cash and undrawn facilities, and headline gearing
at each month end
Debt maturity profile, to allow the Goodman Group to plan well in advance of maturing facilities
Interest rate hedge profile over the next 10 years, to allow Goodman Group to manage the proportion of fixed and floating rate debt
in accordance with its FRM policy
Capital hedge position (by currency) and profile of expiring currency derivatives, to allow Goodman Group to manage its net
investment hedging in accordance with its FRM policy.
Any significant investments or material changes to the finance facilities or FRM policies require approval by the Goodman Group Board.
The Consolidated Entity’s key financial risks are market risk (including foreign exchange and interest rate risk), liquidity risk and credit risk.
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The Consolidated Entity is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk and net investment foreign currency risk through its investments
in Hong Kong, Japan, China, Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. Foreign exchange risk represents the loss that would be
recognised from adverse fluctuations in currency prices as a result of future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities
and, principally, net investments in foreign operations.
Goodman Group manages foreign currency exposure on a consolidated basis. In managing foreign currency risks, Goodman Group aims
to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on earnings and net assets. However, over the long term, permanent changes in foreign
exchange will have an impact on both earnings and net assets.
Goodman Group’s capital hedge policy for each overseas region is to hedge between 65% and 90% of foreign currency denominated
assets with foreign currency denominated liabilities. This is achieved by borrowing in the same functional currency as the investments to
form a natural economic hedge against any foreign currency fluctuations and/or using derivatives such as cross currency interest rate
swaps (CCIRS) and forward exchange contracts (FEC).
The Consolidated Entity has minimal transactional foreign exchange risk as the majority of transactions in each division are in the
functional currency of each division.
As at 30 June 2020, a summary of the derivative financial instruments used to hedge the Consolidated Entity’s exposures arising from its
investments in foreign operations is set out below:

Sensitivity analysis
Throughout the financial year, if the Australian dollar had been 5% (2019: 5%) stronger against all other currencies, with all other variables
held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign
exchange movements, would have decreased by $16.3 million (2019: $31.5 million). If the Australian dollar had been 5% (2019: 5%) weaker
against all other currencies, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable to Shareholders, excluding
derivative mark to market and unrealised foreign exchange movements, would have increased by $16.3 million (2019: $31.5 million).

Interest rate risk
Goodman Group adopts a policy that at all times interest rates on between 60% and 100% of the Group’s external borrowings and
derivatives (by principal) are hedged for the next 12 months. The Consolidated Entity’s interest rate risk arises from floating interest rates
on related party loans (receivable and payable) and from the floating interest rate legs of certain CCIRS. The Consolidated Entity does not
hedge its interest rate exposure on related party loans but has entered into interest rate swaps (IRS) to manage certain cash flow risks
associated with floating interest rates on its CCIRS.
As at 30 June 2020, the Consolidated Entity’s fixed and floating rate exposure (by principal) arising from its derivative financial instruments
is set out below:

Based on the Consolidated Entity’s interest bearing borrowings at 30 June 2020, if interest rates on borrowings had been 100 bps
per annum (2019: 100 bps per annum) higher/lower, with all other variables held constant, the Consolidated Entity’s profit attributable
to Shareholders would have been $11.5 million lower/higher (2019: $6.9 million lower/higher).

Price risk
The Consolidated Entity is not exposed to price risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Entity will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Consolidated Entity’s
objective is to maintain sufficient liquidity to fund short-term working capital, capital expenditure, investment opportunities and dividends.
Management seeks to achieve these objectives through the preparation of regular forecast cash flows to understand the application and
use of funds and through the identification of future funding, primarily through loans from related parties in Goodman Group.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

(c) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted.
The maximum exposure to credit risk on financial assets, excluding investments, of the Consolidated Entity which have been recognised
in the consolidated statement of financial position, is the carrying amount (refer to notes 7 and 17(a)).
The Consolidated Entity has a policy of assessing the creditworthiness of all potential customers and is not materially exposed to any one
customer. The Consolidated Entity evaluates all customers’ perceived credit risk.
In relation to material bank deposits, the Consolidated Entity minimises credit risk by dealing with major financial institutions. The
counterparty must have a stable, long-term credit rating that is a minimum of an “A” category (or equivalent) from a major rating agency.
The amounts and other terms associated with bank deposits are formally reviewed monthly.
From time to time, the Consolidated Entity also makes loans to JVs, typically to fund development projects. In making its investment
decisions, the Consolidated Entity will undertake a detailed assessment of the development feasibility and credit risks associated with the
relevant counterparties.
During the current and prior year, credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, amounts and loans due from
related parties and other receivables were not determined to be significant and no impairment losses were recognised.
The credit risks associated with derivative financial instruments are managed by:
+
+
+
transacting with multiple derivatives counterparties that have a long-term investment grade credit rating;
utilising International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with derivative counterparties in order to limit exposure
to credit risk through netting of amounts receivable and amounts payable to individual counterparties (refer below); and
formal review of the mark to market position of derivative financial instruments by counterparty on a monthly basis.
Master netting or similar agreements
Goodman Group enters into derivative transactions under ISDA master netting off agreements. Under these agreements, where certain
credit events occur (such as a default), all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated and a single net termination value
is payable in full and final settlement.

(d) Fair values of financial instruments
Except for derivative financial instruments and investments in unlisted securities which are carried at fair value, the Consolidated Entity’s
financial instruments are carried at cost or amortised cost. The carrying amounts of the Consolidated Entity’s financial instruments carried
at cost or amortised cost were not materially different from their fair values as at 30 June 2020 and 2019.

(ii) Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 and Level 3 fair values
The Level 2 derivative financial instruments held by the Consolidated Entity consist of IRS, CCIRS and FEC.
The fair value of derivatives are determined using generally accepted pricing models which discount estimated future cash flows based
on the terms and maturity of each contract and current market interest rates and/or foreign currency rates, adjusted for specific features
of the instruments.
The fair value measurement for investment in unlisted securities has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value. The following table shows
the valuation technique used in measuring fair value as well as the significant unobservable inputs used:

Goodman Group’s share based payments primarily relate to performance rights awarded to employees under the LTIP. These performance
rights entitle an employee to either acquire Goodman Group securities for $nil consideration (equity settled performance rights) or, in certain
jurisdictions, to receive an amount in cash equal to the value of the securities (cash settled performance rights), subject to the vesting
conditions having been satisfied.
During the year, the movement in the number of equity settled and cash settled performance rights under the LTIP was as follows:
Outstanding at the beginning of the year
Issued
Transferred from other Goodman Group entities
Vested
Forfeited
Outstanding at the end of the year
Exercisable at the end of the year

Share based payments transactions
The fair value of equity settled performance rights at the grant date is expensed with a corresponding increase in the employee
compensation reserve over the vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which
the related service and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met. The accumulated share based payments expense
of performance rights which have vested or lapsed is transferred from the employee compensation reserve to retained earnings.
The fair value of cash settled performance rights is also recognised as an expense but with a corresponding increase in liabilities over the
vesting period. The expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of performance rights for which the related service and non-market
vesting conditions are expected to be met. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the vesting date based on the fair
value of the rights.
The fair value of services received in return for performance rights granted under the LTIP is measured by reference to the fair value of the
performance rights granted. The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was measured as follows:
+
+
Operating earnings per security tranche: these rights were valued as a granted call option, using the standard Black Scholes model
with a continuous dividend yield
Relative total shareholder return tranche: these rights were valued using a Monte Carlo model which simulated total returns for
each of the ASX 100 stocks and discounted the future value of any potential future vesting performance rights to arrive at a present
value. The model uses statistical analysis to forecast total returns, based on expected parameters of variance and co-variance.
The model inputs for performance rights, both equity and cash settled, awarded during the current financial year included the following:
Fair value at measurement date ($)
Security price ($)
Exercise price ($)
Expected volatility (%)
Rights' expected weighted average life (years)
Dividend/distribution yield per annum (%)
Average risk free rate of interest per annum (%)
Share based payment expense included in profit or loss was as follows:

20 Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. When assessing whether
the Company has power, only substantive rights (held by the Company and other parties) are considered.
An investment in a subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the
date that control ceases. When an entity ceases to be controlled by the Company, it is accounted for as a disposal of the entire interest
in the entity, with a resulting gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.
In the Company’s statement of financial position, an investment in a subsidiary is stated at cost less impairment losses.
The following list contains only the particulars of subsidiaries which principally affected the results, assets or liabilities of the Consolidated
Entity. The class of shares held is ordinary unless otherwise stated.

Annual Report 2020
Combination of entities or businesses under common control
Where the Consolidated Entity acquires entities or businesses from other members of Goodman Group such that all of the
combining entities (businesses) are ultimately controlled by Goodman Group Securityholders both before and after the combination,
the Consolidated Entity applies the pooling of interests method.
At the date of the combination of entities under common control, the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their
carrying amounts. No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities that would otherwise be done
under the acquisition method. The only goodwill that is recognised is any existing goodwill relating to either of the combining entities.
Any difference between the consideration transferred and the equity “acquired” by the Consolidated Entity is reflected within equity
(common control reserve).
Similar to the acquisition method, the results of the “acquired” entity are included only from the date control commenced. Comparatives
are not restated to present the consolidated financial statements as if the entities had always been combined.
Acquisition of entities from GL
On 19 August 2019, the Consolidated Entity acquired Dollmist Limited and its subsidiaries from GL for consideration of $4.3 million.
Dollmist Limited is the holding company of a number of other entities operating in the United Kingdom, which provide investment,
development and property management activities. Dollmist Limited then acquired Goodman Colnbrook (Jersey) Holdings Limited on
29 May 2020 from GL for consideration of $23.4 million. Goodman Colnbrook (Jersey) Holdings Limited holds a development asset
in the United Kingdom.
