Darling Park, Sydney Materiality assessment GPT identifies and addresses material issues relevant to our stakeholders, including both financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. We define material issues as those that could significantly impact our ability to create long-term value for us and our stakeholders. In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive, externally facilitated double materiality assessment. The process identified eight of the most material financial and sustainability impacts associated with our business, aligning with processes recommended by the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB)’s standards for IFRS S1, the incoming mandatory Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards, and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines. Through the integration of sustainability into GPT’s core business practices, the findings of our materiality assessments can directly inform and contribute to the Group’s overall objectives. To read more about our materiality process and assessment, and how this impacts GPT, see our sustainability website.

To meet our refreshed strategic objectives, we have invested significantly in the research, funds management and investment capabilities of the business. Delivering innovative investment solutions and outperformance is essential to investing our capital and the capital of our investment partners effectively. With this strategy shift, we expect to see a significant change in the composition of our invested capital from direct balance sheet property holdings to co-investments across the Funds Management platform. While this change will take time and require investment discipline, we expect this strategy to result in enhanced return on capital and earnings growth. We believe that our purpose, values and culture provide a solid foundation for ensuring we do what is right for all stakeholders. Our financial performance is inextricably linked to our ability to satisfy the needs of all our stakeholders. Our ‘Experience First’ purpose underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional value and puts the customer experience at the heart of everything we do. Throughout 2024, we reinforced the integration of sustainability into our core business. We have made strides towards our Net Zero Plan, including achieving our 2024 target of Carbon Neutral Certification for GPT-managed operational assets and delivering new, carbon-neutral developments. As part of our Board renewal, Louise Mason was appointed to the Board in May as a Non-Executive Director. Louise has brought extensive property experience across sectors from her senior executive roles in the industry. Also, during the year, Rob Whitfield retired from the Board. In his roles as Chair of the Sustainability and Risk Committee and member of the Audit and Nomination Committees, Rob made a significant contribution to GPT, and we thank him for his commitment and valuable service. In closing, I want to thank the Board, Executive Team, and our employees for their hard work and dedication this past year. I would also like to thank our Securityholders for their support and convey the Board’s appreciation for your feedback. As we strive to build on our recent successes, we will continue to focus on driving sustainable earnings growth and prioritise value creation for securityholders. Vickki McFadden Chairman 11 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN For GPT, 2024 has been a year of delivering performance and aligning organisational capability to execute our revised strategy. In March, Russell Proutt commenced as our CEO and Managing Director with a mandate to drive securityholder value through sustainable earnings growth. Underpinning this goal is a foundation of performance excellence with a focus on expanding our investment management segment to enhance the utilisation of our resources and return on capital. The Group has implemented significant changes to the organisational design and senior management, including the appointment of Merran Edwards as Chief Financial Officer and Mark Harrison as Chief Investment Officer. The Board considers these changes and the reallocation of resources to be consistent with the objective of positioning GPT to become the leading diversified real estate investment manager in Australia. In line with guidance provided in early 2024, GPT delivered Funds From Operations (FFO) of 32.2 cents per security and a distribution of 24.0 cents per security. These results are testament to the strength of our diversified platform and management’s commitment to delivering financial performance. The Australian real estate market continues to be a complex operating environment characterised by elevated interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty. Notwithstanding this, we have seen greater capital activity and investment as the market adjusts to the higher interest rate environment. The persistence of higher borrowing costs, however, continues to weigh on profitability and asset valuations. Despite these challenges, the business benefits from our investment in high quality assets across sectors with high occupancy levels. This income stability combined with our disciplined capital management continues to underpin our financial performance. Letter from the Chairman Vickki McFadden Chairman 10 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 28 Risk Management 33 Governance 44 Directors’ Report 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 64 Financial Report 113 Independent Auditor’s Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 10 Letter from the Chairman Gateway and Belmont Forum. We will also continue to pursue targeted development opportunities across the portfolio. In 2025, we will commence the 10,000 square metre expansion of Rouse Hill Town Centre. Office Our Office platform expanded, reaching $14.2 billion in AUM. We now own or manage 29 assets, totalling 1.24 million square metres of prime grade net lettable area (NLA). Office portfolio occupancy of over 94.7 per cent demonstrates the demand for our high-quality buildings. We leased approximately 202,200 square metres in 2024. During the year, Matthew Brown was appointed as the Head of Office and brings extensive domestic and international experience in property and funds management. Matt will focus on building on the achievements of 2024 and drive strategy for the office investment portfolio and broader platform. Logistics Our Logistics platform continues to benefit from strong occupier demand for our well positioned assets. We currently have $4.6 billion in AUM and 1.34 million square metres of gross lettable area (GLA) across the portfolio. Our Logistics portfolio is 99.5 per cent occupied, with a 5.1 year weighted average lease expiry and is heavily weighted to the Eastern seaboard of Australia with approximately 60 per cent of the portfolio being GPT developed assets. The portfolio is estimated to be more than 15 per cent under-rented, providing the opportunity for further income upside as leases expire. This stabilised portfolio is complemented by our $3 billion development pipeline, over 90 per cent concentrated in Sydney and Melbourne. Corporate We have continued to exercise prudent cost control and aim to operate within the existing cost envelope during this period of organisational change. Our balance sheet remains solid and we maintain strong investment grade ratings at A- by S&P and A2 by Moody’s, with $1.1 billion of available liquidity. Investment Management At 31 December, we managed $34.1 billion of AUM, including $21.8 billion attributed to external or third-party capital. As outlined earlier, growth of our investment management business is core to our strategy. To be successful, we must continue to deliver superior investment returns to our capital partners. Our intention to meaningfully invest alongside our partners serves to align our interests and provides a natural incentive for performance as well as a deterrent to accumulate assets without meeting return requirements. During the year Mark Harrison was appointed as the Chief Investment Officer and we have added capability and resources in capital transactions, research and private capital engagement. Mark will be leading the origination, underwriting and execution of investment strategies across the business as well as portfolio management and allocation of balance sheet capital. An example of our proactive investor engagement is reflected in the recent modernisation of one of our wholesale funds. In November, GWSCF’s Securityholders voted in favour of amendments to modernise its Constitution. The modernisation, which achieved strong support from investors, replaced the 10-year liquidity window with a more flexible, structured redemption process. The series of amendments put forward to investors were designed following an extensive multi-stage engagement process conducted by management. These changes enhance GWSCF’s appeal and commercial viability, providing investors a compelling investment proposition with sustainable liquidity options. In 2025, we will continue to focus on optimising returns on capital and pursuing accretive growth strategies across the platform. We also intend to create new investment opportunities aligned with our capabilities and expertise where we will invest alongside our investment partners. Outlook and Guidance I am excited and optimistic about the future of our business. This past year has been one of recalibration and change, and I am proud of the resilience and dedication of our team. We have great capability across the organisation and, together, we have navigated challenges, seized opportunities, and laid the foundation for growth. Looking ahead to 2025 and beyond, we have set ourselves ambitious targets, and are committed to building on our strengths and embracing the challenge to deliver exceptional value to our securityholders. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we expect to deliver 2025 FFO between approximately 32.5 and 33.1 cents per security, being 1.0 to 3.0 per cent growth on the previous corresponding period and a distribution of 24.0 cents per security. Russell Proutt Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director 13 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT LETTER FROM THE CEO Letter from the CEO Russell Proutt CEO and Managing Director Since assuming the role of CEO in March 2024, I have been consistently impressed by the depth of property expertise and the commitment to excellence that permeates our business. This observation has not been a surprise as GPT has long been an Australian market leader with exceptional operating capability, a premium diversified portfolio and robust governance. These strengths provide an excellent foundation on which to build and grow. As committed stewards of the capital we invest and manage, we must always approach decisions with an owner’s mindset. This approach deters short-term thinking and prioritises value creation. During the year, we made changes to our organisational design and allocated significant resources to deepen our investment capability. There were also significant changes made to align the management incentive structures to support the focus on delivering long-term growth for securityholders. Whilst it is early days in the execution of our strategy, we have had significant success and see tremendous opportunity in the future. And despite a year of change at GPT, performance continues to be strong with our teams staying focused on delivering today in order to build for tomorrow. Ultimately, we will be successful by delivering our best to our investor partners, our tenants and their customers, our employees, and the communities in which we operate. Market Environment The Australian real estate market continues to navigate a varying economic landscape. While the initial shock of rapidly rising interest rates has eased, higher borrowing costs and economic uncertainty persist. There is optimism globally as central banks appear to have successfully managed inflation which may lead to lower interest rates in 2025. However, there are no assurances this will occur or, if they do, to what extent. Investment activity in the Australian property sector displayed signs of recovery during the year, with transaction volumes increasing more than 20 per cent over 2023 levels while still below longer term averages. We believe that this trend will continue in 2025 as the Australian real estate market will screen attractively for investment. For GPT, we own and manage a high quality and diversified portfolio with high occupancy that underpins income security. Combined with our disciplined approach to capital management, including having no unfunded capital commitments across the organisation and ample liquidity, we are well positioned to continue to progress our strategy. 2024 Performance For the full year, we reported Funds From Operations (FFO) of 32.2 cents per security which was in line with the full year guidance. We had strong asset level performance across all of our sectors. However, this was more than offset by the increase in finance costs. Retail Our Retail platform is well-positioned to continue to capitalise on positive economic trends and strong demand in a supply-constrained market. Our portfolio of 17 shopping centres, with Assets Under Management (AUM) of $14.0 billion, continues to expand and houses over 4,300 retailers generating $11.8 billion in annual sales. Our leasing team have delivered portfolio occupancy of 99.8 per cent with specialty productivity exceeding $13,200 per square metre at an average 15.8 per cent occupancy cost. In December, we announced our new retail partnership with the Perron Group where we invested $482 million to acquire 50 per cent of two premium Perth retail assets, Cockburn During the year, we embarked on a strategy to prioritise the growth of our investment management business.

Funds from operations FFO represents GPT’s underlying earnings from our operations. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit after tax (under Australian Accounting Standards) for certain items which are non-cash, unrealised or capital in nature. This is in accordance with FFO and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) in the Property Council of Australia ‘Voluntary Best Practice Guidelines for Disclosing FFO and AFFO’. GPT delivered FFO of $616.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, up 2.6 per cent on the prior period (2023: $600.9 million). FFO per security increased 2.6 per cent to 32.2 cents (2023: 31.4 cents). Statutory result GPT’s statutory net loss after tax was $200.7 million, as compared to a $240.0 million loss after tax in the prior corresponding period, predominantly due to an increase in development profits and lower negative investment property valuation movements of $770.7 million (2023: $819.0 million negative revaluation). Distribution The Group targets to distribute 95 to 105 per cent of free cash flow, defined as operating cash flow less maintenance and leasing capex and inventory movements. The Group may make other adjustments in our determination of free cash flow for one-off or abnormal items. Distributions to stapled securityholders for the year ended 31 December 2024 are $459.8 million (2023: $478.8 million), representing an annual distribution of 24.0 cents per ordinary stapled security, a decrease of 4.0 per cent on 2023 (2023: 25.0 cents). The payout ratio for the year ended 31 December 2024 is 98.6 per cent of free cash flow.

This trend is expected to continue into 2025, as the Australian market becomes increasingly attractive for investment. Our premium quality, diversified portfolio with high occupancy, and a disciplined approach to capital management, positions the group well for sustainable and growing earnings, and a solid base from which to progress our strategy. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we expect to deliver 2025 FFO between approximately 32.5 and 33.1 cents per security, being 1.0 per cent to 3.0 per cent growth on the previous corresponding period and a distribution of 24.0 cents per security. 17 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT GROUP PERFORMANCE Financial position 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M Change % Portfolio assets Retail 5,859.3 5,657.2 3.6% Office 4,783.0 5,533.9 (13.6%) Logistics 4,119.8 4,416.0 (6.7%) Total portfolio assets 14,762.1 15,607.1 (5.4%) Financing and corporate assets 867.7 672.7 29.0% Total assets 15,629.8 16,279.8 (4.0%) Borrowings 4,839.3 4,796.3 0.9% Other liabilities 680.8 717.3 (5.1%) Total liabilities 5,520.1 5,513.6 0.1% Net assets 10,109.7 10,766.2 (6.1%) Total number of ordinary stapled securities (million) 1,915.6 1,915.6 – NTA ($ per security)1 5.27 5.61 (6.1%) 1.

In 2024, we continued to foster a workplace culture that is strong, inclusive and energised to deliver on our goals, retain trust and drive growth. Through initiatives that prioritise professional growth, leadership and engagement, we continue to build on our reputation as an employer of choice, attracting and retaining top talent across the industry. Our approach Our 2024 People Strategy directly supports GPT’s strategy and is aligned to three key strategic enablers: Enhanced Capability High Performing People Winning Culture Strategic pillar 1. Enhanced Capability Building a strong workforce is crucial to our ongoing success. During 2024, the professional capability of the organisation’s leadership was aligned to the strategic shift of the business. We built significant organisational capability by investing in the growth functions of the business, all within the existing cost footprint. We attract top talent by offering opportunities to work with industry leaders and providing continuous learning and development. We invest significantly in our people and are committed to developing our leaders by offering tailored programs, skills training, and mentorship opportunities. In doing so, we foster innovation and drive future growth. In 2024, we launched a new Leadership Capability Framework identifying the key leadership attributes that will support our success and guide future talent and leadership development. 2. High Performing People The performance of our people is critical to building a high-performing organisation. We empower our people to excel and reward performance based on results. Clear goals and performance expectations are key and during the year we enhanced our performance management process to strengthen clarity, accountability, and ongoing feedback tied to development. Recognising and rewarding our employees’ achievements fosters a culture that values results and the way they are achieved. Talent management is a priority. We help our people grow through regular leadership coaching and by understanding career goals, creating personalised development plans, and identifying future leaders. This ensures a strong, sustainable workforce. 3. Winning Culture Our culture is a significant factor of our brand and ability to attract and retain talent. We foster an experience-led culture where employees feel valued, contribute ideas, and understand their role in delivering our strategy. This is reflected in our 88 per cent participation rate in the 2024 engagement survey, with 88 per cent of employees expressing pride in working at GPT. This result places us in the top quartile of employers in Australia. At GPT, we value open communication and transparency. We regularly share updates with our people on strategy, business progress and things that matter to them to maintain a connected and cohesive workplace. We listen to our people which allows us to act on their feedback through a variety of channels, including Town Halls, our intranet news feed, engagement surveys, focus groups and employee resource groups.

For operational buildings where we cannot eliminate all emissions, we utilise a combination of energy and Australian nature-based reforestation offsets. We have reduced our energy intensity by 53 per cent and our net scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity by 94 per cent against our 2005 baseline. We have implemented standard renewable electricity contracts in our buildings which has driven the bulk of our carbon emissions (net Scope 1 and 2). The result is that offsets only account for around 5 per cent of these net emissions intensity reductions. Our efficiencies, electricity procurement strategy and long-term renewable energy contract have also delivered significant energy cost savings. We also make sure the offsets we use achieve multiple co-benefits and manage offsetting risks. Our Restoring Country for Climate offset partnership with Greenfleet and Kabi Kabi Traditional Owners provides certainty of supply, quality and cost of offsets for approximately the next five years. The partnership also advances GPT’s nature targets as well as enabling embodied carbon neutral goals. To date we have supported 306 hectares of native forest restoration plantings. Key achievements in 2024 Focus for 2025 and prospects First placed of real estate investment trusts in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025 Yearbook.

Leverage our strengths in sustainability to support platform growth and onboard new assets to our systems. Enhance responses to business and sustainability risks associated with biodiversity, human rights and water. Social sustainability In 2024, we delivered $9 million in social value to our communities through direct investment in non-profit partnerships, events and infrastructure. These initiatives provide community benefit, as well as pro-bono space and our people’s skills and time. We built on our GPT Foundation partnerships with Australian Childhood Foundation, the Property Industry Foundation and ReachOut to advance fundraising and awareness outcomes; and 93 per cent of our employees participated in our annual volunteering, workplace-giving and Acts of Kindness campaigns. We continued to progress our modern slavery prevention actions, including enhancing our grievance reporting mechanisms as well as improving our construction supply chain risk management practices. We also completed a human rights salience assessment to focus our actions on the most material risks. We advanced our First Nations engagement initiatives with a particular focus on economic outcomes through growing our social procurement spend. In addition, we also created bespoke social plans for each asset in our Retail and Office portfolios that drive social inclusion, connection and wellbeing for our customers and communities. 27 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT SUSTAINABILITY GROUP PERFORMANCE Sustainability Our ambition is to embed scalable sustainability solutions that support our growth while driving leading environmental, social and financial outcomes for our investors, tenants and stakeholders. Our approach To achieve our sustainability ambition, our approach focuses on: • Responsible business: We drive value and resilience for all stakeholders by embracing responsible business practices. • Innovation: We foster innovation by developing new solutions for emerging risks and opportunities. • Systematisation: We drive continuous improvement in delivering sustainable outcomes. • Engagement: We engage with stakeholders to support and deliver sustainable outcomes. Our sustainability priority areas Aligning with a double materiality approach, GPT’s sustainability policies consider the impacts of our business on sustainability-related matters as well as the potential impacts of social and environmental matters on our core business. In 2024, four priority areas underpinned our sustainability ambition: 1. Supporting development and investment platform growth through future- proofing assets, navigating sustainability-related regulation and providing sustainability services to our partners. 2. Optimising building performance using a systematic data driven approach that drives operational efficiencies and informs social strategy alignment. 3. Deliver our ‘Carbon Neutral Now, Nature Positive Next’ ambitions, including delivery of carbon neutral milestones while taking steps towards addressing our nature goals. 4.

The elevated interest rate environment, CPI trend pressure on costs, and uncertainty surrounding the broader geopolitical landscape, has continued to pose challenges. Further, capitalisation rate softening has also increased the risk profile for Development. A disciplined capital management approach and the diversified property portfolio has contributed to delivering financial performance of the Group. The Office property market remained challenging, however our leasing strategy of adapting to changing market conditions has been key in managing the risk. The focus for 2025 is to continue with the strong leasing momentum from 2024. Organisational resilience and the ability to respond to disruption continued to be a focus in 2024. A key priority has been to continuously deploy and update GPT’s cyber risk management strategy to adapt and respond as the threat landscape becomes more sophisticated. This has included continued monitoring of cyber risk and the potential interruption to business operations. GPT’s cyber security strategy is aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and has also been assessed against ASD Essential 8 mitigation strategies. A full assessment of GPT’s key risks is set out in the table on pages 30-32. 2 Southbank Boulevard, Melbourne Emerging risks and opportunities In addition to the key risks impacting the Group, GPT monitors emerging risks which have the potential to disrupt the business in the future. In many cases, these emerging risks also present opportunities. A review of emerging risks and GPT’s preparedness for them is undertaken every six months by both the GPT Executive Team and the Audit and Risk Committee. Some of the risk and opportunities considered in 2024 included: • Increasing geopolitical tensions • The shift to electric vehicles • The transition to clean energy • Global trends in ESG regulation, and • Mass adoption of generative AI. 29 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management GPT proactively identifies and manages risk to enable informed decisions which protect the value of our assets and realise our strategic objectives. GPT takes an integrated, enterprise-wide approach to risk management which incorporates culture, conduct, compliance, processes and systems, consistent with AS/NZS ISO 31000:2018. Risk Management Process Identification Risks are identified through annual and semi-annual workshops, incident management, audit and risk reviews at the strategic, business, project and process levels Assessment Risks evaluated using a likelihood and impact scale calibrated against GPT's Risk Appetite Treatment Management determine level of risk mitigation, transfer, acceptance or removal Assurance and Reporting Reporting provides assurance to Management and Directors that risks are identified, assessed, treated and escalated appropriately Communication and Consultation Monitoring and Review Risk Management Framework The Group’s Risk Management Framework is overseen by the Board and consists of the following key elements: 1. Risk Policy – The Risk Policy sets out the Group’s approach to risk management, which is reviewed annually by the Board and the Audit and Risk Committee. The Risk Policy is available on GPT’s website. 2. Risk Appetite Statement – The Board sets GPT’s risk appetite to align with strategy, having regard to GPT’s operating environment and key risks. Risk appetite is documented in our Risk Appetite Statement, against which all key investment decisions are assessed. 3. Risk Governance – The Board is supported in its oversight of the Risk Management Framework by the Audit and Risk Committee, which reviews the effectiveness of the Framework, and by the Executive Team and the Investment Committee. 4. Risk Culture – GPT maintains a transparent and accountable culture where risk is actively considered and managed in our day-to-day activities. Risk culture is assessed as part of internal audits and tracked using a Risk Culture Scorecard. 5. Risk Management Processes and Systems – GPT has robust processes and systems in place for the identification, assessment, treatment, assurance and reporting of risk.

Corporate governance plays an integral role in supporting GPT’s business and helping us to deliver on our strategy. It provides the arrangements and practices through which GPT’s strategy and business objectives are set, performance is monitored, and risks are managed. It includes a clear framework for decision making and accountability across the business. Further information on GPT’s corporate governance framework is available in the 2024 Corporate Governance Statement. The Board and Committees The Board comprises six independent Non-Executive Directors and the CEO and Managing Director. The Chairman of the Board is an independent Non-Executive Director who is responsible for providing leadership to the Board. Biographies for each of the Directors, including their experience and qualifications, are available on page 39. During 2024, Louise Mason was appointed to the Board following the retirement of Rob Whitfield. Ms Mason brings extensive experience as a property executive and has added to the Board’s existing skills mix, particularly given her experience across multiple property sectors and development. The Board has established the Audit and Risk, Human Resources and Remuneration and Nomination Committees to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. To better align the roles of the Board and its Committees, in 2024, the Board agreed to discontinue the Sustainability and Risk Committee and merge its functions into the Board, the Audit and Risk Committee, and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, in place of the previously separate Audit and Sustainability and Risk Committees. The Board also establishes special purpose committees as may be required from time-to-time to focus on specific matters. The Chairman of each Committee is an independent Non-Executive Director with the appropriate qualifications and experience to carry out that role. The Board receives minutes of Board Committee meetings and updates from the Chairman of each Committee to ensure that there is an appropriate flow of information between the Committees and the Board. Each Committee has a formal Charter setting out its responsibilities which is reviewed at least every three years. Copies of those Charters are available in the Corporate Governance section of GPT’s website. Culture The Board is committed to a transparent and inclusive culture at GPT and understands the importance of the Board and Management’s role in promoting and supporting behaviours that underpin the desired culture. The Board regularly meets with various levels of the organisation, both formally at meetings and informally during asset tours and staff functions, to test and observe the organisation’s culture. In addition, a culture dashboard is reported to the Board regularly through its Committees and the results of GPT’s Employee Engagement Survey and planned actions to address any issues raised are reported to the Board’s Human Resources and Remuneration Committee. Code of Conduct The Group’s Code of Conduct (Code) is an important aspect of establishing and maintaining GPT’s culture and sets out the standards of behaviour expected of Directors and employees. All Directors and employees are bound by the Code. In addition to setting out what our expectations are of our people, the Code articulates the consequences if these expectations are not met. The Board is informed of any material breaches of the Code of Conduct via the Human Resources and Remuneration and Audit and Risk Committees. For further information regarding any breaches that occurred during the year, see GPT’s Sustainability Data Dashboard for full details. Corporate Governance Framework The Board’s Governance Framework, as shown on page 34, is based on accountability, effective delegation and adequate oversight to support sound decision making. The Board is accountable to securityholders for GPT’s performance and responsible for the overall management and governance of GPT, as well as setting GPT’s strategic objectives and risk appetite. Details of GPT’s governance arrangements, including key policies, can be found in the Corporate Governance section of the website. These key policies are reviewed regularly for appropriateness, to enable GPT to meet regulatory requirements and evolving stakeholder expectations, and maintain a high standard of corporate governance. 33 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT Risk How GPT manages the risk Value driver Technology and Cyber Security Our ability to prevent critical outages, ensure ongoing available system access and respond to major cyber security threats and breaches of our information technology systems is vital to GPT’s organisational resilience and the safety of people and assets. • Technology risk management framework, including third party risk management around cyber security • Policies, guidelines and standards for Information Management and Privacy • Regular security testing and training (penetration testing, phishing and social engineering) by external specialists • Disaster Recovery and Cyber Security Incident Response Plans with annual testing • Monitoring of GPT platforms by external specialists and technology solutions • Regular hardware and software updates with security patches • Annual cyber risk assessments • Information Security Risk and Compliance Committee oversight • Alignment to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and assessed against ASD Essential 8 mitigation strategies • Regular review of information security and compliance with privacy regulations Real estate Our people Our customers, suppliers and communities Compliance and Regulation We ensure compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements through our established policies and frameworks. • Experienced management team with Legal, Tax, Finance, Compliance and Risk Management • Engagement of external advisors as required • Internal and external audit program overseen by the Board Audit and Risk Committee • Active management of Compliance Plans • Internal committees (such as Market Disclosure, Privacy and Information Security, Risk and Compliance) to monitor key compliance risks • Comprehensive internal policies and procedures (including Anti-Money Laundering, Counter terrorism Financing, Conflicts Management, Whistleblower and Code of Conduct) • Ongoing training program addressing key compliance requirements • Active involvement in the Property Council of Australia and other industry bodies Our investors Real estate Our people Environment Our customers, suppliers and communities KEY: Risk increased No change in risk Risk decreased 32 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT KEY RISKS RISK MANAGEMENT GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 10 Letter from the Chairman 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 44 Directors’ Report 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 64 Financial Report 113 Independent Auditor’s Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 33 Governance 28 Risk Management Key areas of governance focus in 2024 The Board was actively engaged in its governance responsibilities throughout the year, fulfilling its role in accordance with the Board and Committee Charters. Clear planning and agenda-setting enables the Board and its Committees to use their time effectively. Time was allocated in 2024 to hear from experts in relevant fields, both internal and external to GPT, to further the Board’s knowledge in specific areas. In addition, the Board toured GPT’s assets and engaged directly with GPT’s people. The Board visited GPT’s offices and assets in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Board also gained insights and a deeper level of knowledge on topics such as GPT’s developments, economic outlook, capital markets, outlook for Australian property across various sectors, nature-related risk management and issues and crisis management. Board skills and experience The Board is committed to a mix of skills, experience and expertise to enable it to discharge its responsibilities. The Board has a gender target of 40 per cent female, 40 per cent male and 20 per cent of any gender that hold the relevant skills and experience. As at 31 December 2024, 57 per cent of the Directors were female and 43 per cent male. The Board also consists of a mix of tenures to balance knowledge of GPT and our business with fresh insights. 50 per cent of Non-Executive Directors have less than three years tenure and 50 per cent have greater than three years at 31 December 2024. The average tenure of Non-Executive Directors is 3.8 years. The Board has identified the skills and experience set out in the matrix on page 36 as those required for Directors to provide effective governance and direction for the Group. The matrix is reviewed on a regular basis, in line with GPT’s strategic direction and changes in Directors’ skills and experience, and used by the Board as a key component of succession planning, Committee membership and professional development. Having assessed its composition and the results of the analysis set out above, the Board considers that it has the appropriate mix of skills and experience to enable it to discharge its responsibilities. Induction and training On commencement of employment, all Directors and employees undertake an induction program which includes information on GPT’s values, Code of Conduct, health and safety, and employment practices and procedures. In addition for Director induction, any new Directors meet with the members of the Executive Team and visit our assets as appropriate to discuss GPT’s strategy, our various businesses, our financial position and performance and risk management. This induction program was provided on the appointment of Louise Mason as a Director during 2024. Ongoing development is incorporated into the Board calendar which provides that Directors, individually and collectively, develop and maintain the skills and knowledge required for the Board to fulfil its role and responsibilities.

The GPT Group is a stapled entity, a common arrangement in the Australian real estate sector. Each GPT security listed on the ASX is comprised of a share in GPT Management Holdings Limited (GMH) that is ‘stapled’ to a unit in General Property Trust (GPT). GPT is a unit trust (Managed Investment Trust) that is treated separately to GMH for Australian tax purposes. The GPT Group conducts our business only in Australia. Tax Risk Management Framework GPT has a Tax Risk Management Framework that is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee and reflects our conservative risk appetite with respect to taxation. By applying this framework, GPT is able to manage our tax obligations efficiently, comply with tax laws and mitigate transaction-related tax risks. The Tax Risk Management Framework provides a holistic governance approach that ensures compliance with tax law through the implementation of tax-related policies, processes, procedures and systems across the Group’s business. GPT applies this framework across the broader business to fully integrate the taxation implications of transactions, projects and business initiatives into day-to-day activities. Private tax rulings, external advice and counsel opinion are obtained as necessary to ensure the correct application of the tax law to the Group’s business. Our tax contribution The payment of applicable taxes is an important aspect of GPT’s contribution to the Australian economy. The GPT Group’s real estate investment assets are held in a trust (GPT) that is owned by securityholders. Under Australian tax law, distributions of income arising from real estate investments held by the Trust is taxed at the securityholders levels. All other profits that arise from trading activities are earned by GMH and are subject to the Australian corporate income tax rate of 30 per cent. GPT is also subject to goods and services tax, stamp duty, council rates, land tax, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, and remits ‘pay as you go’ withholding taxes on behalf of employees and investors. Tax Transparency Code GPT reports in accordance with the voluntary Tax Transparency Code (TTC) issued by the Board of Taxation. The TTC recommends a set of principles and minimum standards for the disclosure of tax information by businesses.

RHTC was classified as an asset held for sale in the GPT financial statements as at 31 December 2024. Concurrently, GPT entered into an agreement with GWSCF to acquire an additional 8.33 per cent interest in Highpoint Shopping Centre for $204.6 million, bringing GPT’s total ownership interest of this property to 25 per cent. These contracts are expected to settle simultaneously around 31 March 2025. The Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance occurring since 31 December 2024 that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of GPT, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of GPT in the subsequent financial years. Indemnification and insurance of directors officers and auditors GPT provides a Deed of Indemnity and Access (Deed) in favour of each of the Directors and Officers of GPT and its subsidiary companies and each person who acts or has acted as a representative of GPT serving as an officer of another entity at the request of GPT. The Deed indemnifies these persons on a full indemnity basis to the extent permitted by law for losses, liabilities, costs and charges incurred as a Director or Officer of GPT, its subsidiaries or such other entities. Subject to specified exclusions, the liabilities insured are for costs that may be incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings that may be brought against Directors and Officers in their capacity as Directors and Officers of GPT, its subsidiary companies or such other entities, and other payments arising from liabilities incurred by the Directors and Officers in connection with such proceedings. During the financial year, GPT paid insurance premiums to insure the Directors and Officers of GPT and its subsidiary companies. The terms of the contract prohibit the disclosure of the premiums paid. GPT has agreed to indemnify the auditors out of the assets of GPT if GPT has breached the agreement under which the auditors are appointed. Non-audit services During the year PricewaterhouseCoopers, GPT’s auditor, has performed other services in addition to their statutory duties. Details of the amounts paid to the auditor, which includes amounts paid for non-audit services and other assurance services, are set out in note 22 to the financial statements. The Directors have considered the non-audit services and other assurance services provided by the auditor during the financial year. In accordance with advice received from the Audit Committee, the Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services by the auditor is compatible with, and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reasons: • The Audit Committee Chairman reviewed the non-audit services and other assurance services to ensure that they did not impact upon the integrity and objectivity of the auditor • The Audit Committee's own review concluded that the auditor independence was not compromised, having regard to the Board’s policy with respect to the engagement of GPT’s auditor, and • The fact that none of the non-audit services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers during the financial year had the characteristics of management, decision making, self review, advocacy or joint sharing of risks. Auditor’s independence declaration A copy of the auditor’s independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 63 and forms part of the Directors’ Report. Rounding of amounts The amounts contained in this report and in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest hundred thousand dollars unless otherwise stated (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to GPT under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. GPT is an entity to which the Instrument applies. 45 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT Directors’ Report The Directors of GPT RE Limited, the Responsible Entity of General Property Trust, present their report together with the financial statements of the General Property Trust (the Trust) and its controlled entities (the trust consolidated entity) for the year ended 31 December 2024 .

General Property Trust is a registered scheme, GPT Management Holdings Limited is a company limited by shares, and GPT RE Limited is a company limited by shares, each of which is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business is Level 51, 25 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000. The Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and includes the following information: • Principal business activities on page 4; • Operating and Financial Review, including information on the Group’s operations and financial position, business strategies and prospects on pages 7, 14 to 32; • Information on the Directors and Company Secretary on pages 39 to 41; • Board and committee meetings attendance on page 37; • Remuneration Report on pages 46 to 62; • Auditor’s Independence Declaration on page 63; and • Distributions paid or payable to securityholders during the year – Note 12 Distributions Declared on page 93.

There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the year ended 31 December 2024. Likely developments and expected results of operations In the opinion of the Directors, disclosure of any further information regarding business strategies and future developments or results of the Group, other than information already included in this Directors’ Report or the consolidated financial statements accompanying this Directors’ Report would be unreasonably prejudicial to the Group. Environmental regulation GPT has policies and procedures in place that are designed to ensure that where operations are subject to any particular and significant environmental regulation under a law of Australia (for example property development and property management), those obligations are identified and appropriately addressed. This includes obtaining and complying with conditions of relevant authority consents and approvals and obtaining necessary licences. GPT is not aware of any significant breaches of any environmental regulations under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or of a State or Territory of Australia and has not incurred any significant liabilities under any such environmental legislation. GPT is subject to the reporting requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (“NGER Act”). The NGER Act requires GPT to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption and generation for the 12 month period from 1 July to 30 June. GPT has implemented systems and processes for the collection and calculation of the data required. The data is assured and submitted to the Australian Government Clean Energy Regulator by the legislative deadline of 31 October each year. GPT complied with the Regulator’s submissions requirements for the period ended 30 June 2024 within the required timeframe. Information about GPT's participation in the NGER program is available on our website: www.gpt.com.au. Events subsequent to reporting date On 31 January 2025, GPT acquired 50 per cent of Cockburn Gateway and Belmont Forum, two premium Perth retail assets for $482.0 million, establishing a new retail partnership with the Perron Group. On 7 February 2025, settlement occurred on the disposal of 6 Herb Elliott Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park for $36.7 million. This asset was classified as properties held for sale within inventories in the GPT financial statements as at 31 December 2024. 44 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 10 Letter from the Chairman 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 28 Risk Management 33 Governance 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 64 Financial Report 113 Independent Auditor’s Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 44 Directors’ Report 2024 Performance and Outcomes For the full year, we reported Funds From Operations (FFO) of 32.2 cents per security which was in line with the full year guidance. Across our investment portfolio, we had strong asset level performance in all of our sectors and have started to progress the implementation of our refined strategy. For 2024, the Committee approved an average fixed remuneration increase budget of 3.5 per cent for eligible employees. No fixed increases were awarded to Executive KMP in 2024. The outcomes for our short-term incentive compensation plan (STIC) have been evaluated in the context of individual and company performance. Our Executives were instrumental in the design and initial implementation of our shift in strategy while also delivering performance outcomes in-line with market guidance for the year. In light of this, the CEO received a STIC payment of $1,253,425, being 100 per cent of the target award (pro-rated for service period during the year) and the CFO received a STIC payment of $300,000, being 100 per cent of the target award (pro-rated for service period during the year). There was no 2024 STIC paid to outgoing KMP. The long-term incentive (LTI) plan is a critical component of our remuneration structure to align resources over time to deliver value to securityholders. The 2022-2024 LTI plan vested at 15.44 per cent. The vesting is calculated with the RTSR metric achieving a 30.88 per cent vesting outcome and the Total Return metric achieving a nil vesting outcome. The Committee determined that a 3.2 per cent increase would be applied to NED fees for 2024. Our People and Culture 2024 has been a year of building organisational capability to deliver for the future. We have leveraged our strong employment brand and attracted top talent from the market to complement our existing organisation capability. This year we received a top quartile engagement score (76 per cent) in the annual employee engagement survey with 88 per cent of employees being proud to work at GPT and 89 per cent believing GPT is a great place to work. Our Board is gender diverse (57 per cent females) as is our Executive team (38 per cent females) and we continue to maintain strong gender diversity outcomes across our senior leadership cohort (44 per cent females). We proudly ranked in the top five globally out of 3,795 publicly listed companies in Equileap's annual Gender Equality Report. We are committed to foster a culture and maintain a capability where the best decisions are made, fair outcomes are delivered, and workforce performance is optimised. Looking Ahead As we look to 2025 and beyond, we are extremely well positioned to succeed in the pursuit of our ambition to be Australia’s leading diversified real estate investment manager. The Committee will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the remuneration framework and will refine and evolve as needed to ensure it remains aligned with our strategy and securityholder expectations. Our primary objective is to design an effective system of incentives to promote a culture of performance, accountability, and value creation. Thank you for your continued support, we welcome feedback and comments from investors and stakeholders regarding this report. Sincerely, Tracey Horton AO Chairman of the Human Resources & Remuneration Committee The information provided in this Report has been audited in accordance with section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001. Sydney 17 February 2025 47 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT Introduction from the Chairman of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee I am pleased to present the 2024 Remuneration Report on behalf of the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee (HRRC or Committee). This report is designed to provide investors and other stakeholders with a clear understanding of how our remuneration is structured, how it aligns with our performance and strategic objectives, and how it incentivises management to deliver long-term value. 2024 marked a pivotal year for GPT in which we outlined our ambition to become Australia’s leading diversified real estate investment manager. This shift in emphasis from primarily direct property ownership to focus on aligned investment alongside third-party capital has been designed to support sustainable earnings growth that ultimately drives securityholder value. Our strategy is enabled by leveraging the existing operational excellence present in our business, supplemented through new executive appointments and refinements to the organisational design. Organisation and Leadership Changes During 2024, the professional capability of the organisation’s leadership has been aligned with the shift in strategy and has included substantial changes in the executive and senior leadership. These changes have included the appointment of Russell Proutt as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director, following the retirement of Bob Johnston. Following Russell’s commencement, he announced the appointment of Merran Edwards as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Mark Harrison as Chief Investment Officer (CIO). Together with the strength of the existing team, this new leadership provides the business with the depth and breadth of capabilities required to successfully execute on our strategy. Our remuneration philosophy remains unchanged with the primary objective being to design an incentive structure that attracts, retains and motivates exceptional talent to execute our strategy in line with securityholder interests. With this in mind, along with the refresh of the strategy, 2024 has been a transition year in which the Short Term Incentive Compensation (STIC) program and the Long Term Incentive (LTI) were modified to promote focus and alignment. 2024 Remuneration Changes • STIC awards continue to be awarded as 50 percent cash and 50 percent deferred rights. In addition this year we introduced a requirement that any portion of the STIC award that exceeds 80 per cent of the participant's target, will be awarded as rights and subject to one year deferral. This change is intended to facilitate greater ownership opportunity and participation for high performing employees. • To further align Executive and Securityholder interests, this year we introduced the option for our Executives and Senior Leaders to defer a portion or all of any cash STIC awarded into rights. The CEO has elected to defer all of his cash STIC into rights, resulting in a 100 per cent deferral in 2024. • LTI granted in 2024 will be measured against growth in Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and the Relative Total Securityholder Returns (RTSR) over multi-year periods. We believe these two measures are effective financial metrics to support sustainable growth and securityholder value creation. The RTSR evaluation methodology was updated from 2024 to be consistent with market practice, using a quartile measure relative to the constituents (equally weighted) of the comparator group (ASX200 A-REIT Index excluding Goodman Group and GPT Group). • In 2024, the performance period for LTI was extended from three to four years. To facilitate this transition; half of the 2024 award will have a performance period of three years and the other half will have a performance period of four years. Starting in 2025, the performance period will be four years. 2025 Remuneration Changes The Committee has refined our framework to further align with the strategic direction of the business. These changes were signalled to major investors and proxy advisors as part of our 2024 Governance Roadshow. To ensure our short-term incentive compensation aligns to our performance and strategy, the most significant change that will be made for 2025, is to move from a sole FFO measure to the introduction of a Group Scorecard to inform the determination of the annual incentive (STIC) pool to be applied following the application of a minimum FFO earnings gateway. The scorecard has been designed to incentivise our teams, based on financial (75 per cent) and non-financial (25 per cent) measures, to deliver the desired value creation outcomes across our business. The metrics selected for 2025 provide a critical link between our strategy and securityholder value, including allocating greater weightings to earnings from investment management and capital management and a reduced weighting of the current year’s FFO outcome. Further information on each measure and their linkage to our performance is provided in the table on page 50.

Short Term Incentive Compensation (STIC) Drive achievement of the short-term financial, strategic, operational and people objectives as agreed by the Board. Mandatory and voluntary deferral support alignment to sustainable securityholder value creation. A minimum of 50 per cent is awarded as deferred rights (mandatory deferral) 1 , deferred for one year, with the remainder as cash. Executives can elect to receive up to 100 per cent of their cash STIC award as rights (voluntary deferral)2. Long Term Incentive (LTI) Rewards delivery of sustained long term securityholder value. LTI awards are measured against Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) and the Relative Total Securityholder Returns (RTSR) over three and four year periods3. If LTI plan conditions are met, the requisite number of performance rights will convert to GPT securities, alternatively, performance rights will lapse. All vested and unvested awards are subject to malus and clawback provisions. 1. Any STIC award above 80 per cent of Target STIC will be awarded as deferred rights, with the remainder awarded as 50 per cent cash and 50 per cent deferred rights (mandatory deferral). 2. The voluntary deferral is made up of rights to acquire GPT securities with a minimum deferral period of 12 months from the end of the performance period. Participants can elect the timing of the exercise of the rights for a period of up to 10 years from the vesting date. These rights will not be subject to forfeiture on termination of employment. 3. 2024 has been a transition year for the LTI plan where the performance period was extended from three to four years. In 2024 the award was equally divided across performance periods of three and four years and then from 2025, the performance period will be four years.

TSR is calculated as the percentage growth in GPT’s security price from the last trading date of the previous financial year to the last trading date of the current financial year, together with the value of distributions received during the year, assuming that all of those distributions are reinvested into new securities. 2. GPT's TSR compared to the TSR of the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index. From 2021 this was adjusted to exclude Goodman Group and The GPT Group. 3. Group total return is defined as the sum of the change in net tangible assets (NTA) per security plus distributions per security over the performance period, divided by the NTA per security at the beginning of the performance period. 4. Includes all right-of-use assets of The GPT Group. 5. AFFO is calculated as FFO less maintenance capex, leasing incentives and one-off items calculated in accordance with the Property Council of Australia voluntary best practice guidelines for disclosing FFO and AFFO. The calculation of AFFO can be found in the Financial Results table in the Group Performance section of this Annual Report. 2. 2024 Short Term Incentive Compensation (STIC) funding GPT's STIC plan provides executive KMP with the opportunity to be rewarded for their performance consistent with the Group's strategic and operational goals. FFO was used by the Committee and the Board to determine the size of the overall STIC pool. 3. Group Performance The Board takes a robust approach to determining executive remuneration outcomes considering a range of quantitative and qualitative factors. An assessment of performance against the primary objectives is summarised in the table below. The percentage weightings for each category for the table below reflect those used for the individual scorecards for KMP. Measure and Commentary Achievement Financial (weighting 50%) Achieve FFO Target • Delivered FFO of $616.3 million (FFO per security of 32.2 cents) versus target of $613 million (32.0 cps). • Both the Retail and Logistics portfolios delivered strong underlying income growth versus the prior year with continued low vacancy; the Logistics headline portfolio result was impacted by asset divestments in 2023 and 2024. • Office portfolio occupancy (including HOA) increased to 94.7 per cent by December 2024; the 2024 FFO result was impacted by lower one-off income. • The contribution from management operations has increased by 13.6 per cent versus the prior year driven by higher funds under management. This is combined with higher 2024 trading profits and lower corporate overheads partially offset by higher interest expense. At target Attract new capital to the platform and build upon core capabilities through the product development pipeline • Invested $482 million to acquire 50 per cent of two premium Perth retail assets: Cockburn Gateway and Belmont Forum. This created a new partnership with Perron Group and the expansion of the retail platform in WA. • Milestones are being progressed across the Group's $3 billion Logistics development pipeline in addition to approval of the Rouse Hill re-development, with works to commence 1H 2025. At target GWSCF and GWOF to outperform the respective MSCI index for 12 months total return performance • GWSCF has gross assets of $3.5 billion, net gearing of 16.6 per cent and has outperformed the MSCI/Mercer All Retail Index over 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years. • GWOF has exceeded sector index for the last 1, 2, and 3 years. Exceeds target 51 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT DIRECTORS’ REPORT REMUNERATION REPORT Minimum Security Holding Requirement (MSHR) GPT’s Minimum Security Holding Policy requires Non-Executive Directors, the CEO and members of the Executive Team to build and maintain a minimum holding of GPT securities. The policy requires the CEO to maintain a holding equal to 150 per cent of fixed remuneration. For Non-Executive Directors, other KMP and Executive Team members, the MSHR is equal to 100 per cent of fixed remuneration or board fees. For Non-Executive Directors, the base fee on the date of appointment, and in the case of the Chairman, the date of becoming the Chairman, is the requirement. The minimum holding must be met within five years for the CEO and Executive Team, and within four years for Non-Executive Directors. Clawback and Malus GPT’s Clawback Policy provides the Board with the discretion to modify remuneration outcomes as a result of adverse circumstances that arise or become known after remuneration has been granted, paid or vested. Individuals who participate in the STIC and LTI are subject to these awards being adjusted, cancelled or clawed back if a trigger event occurs. No trigger events occurred in 2024, and the Board did not enact the Clawback Policy during the reporting period. New 2025 Group Scorecard GPT's revised remuneration structure for 2025 introduces a Group Scorecard to determine how the short-term incentive pool for all eligible employees is determined. For the Group Scorecard to be funded at any level, a minimum FFO gate first needs to be achieved. Further information on each metric is provided in the table below. Measure and metric Rationale for selection Financial Performance (75%) FFO per security • Key indicator of financial performance. • Ensures continued focus on income and growth. Management Operations Includes the net contribution from funds management, property management and development management • Key indicator of financial performance and value creation. • Ensures continued focus on income and growth.

From 2024 LTI is transitioning to a four year performance measurement period. As 2024 is a transition year, 50% will be tested at the end of a three year performance period, and 50% will be tested at the end of a four year performance period. 2. The Relative TSR comparator group, being the S&P/ASX200 A-REIT Accumulation Index, is adjusted to exclude GPT and Goodman Group for LTI plans. TSR is calculated as the percentage growth in GPT’s security price over the performance period, together with the value of distributions received during the performance period, assuming that all of those distributions are reinvested into new securities. Relative TSR was chosen as a performance condition in order to align remuneration outcomes with the relative performance experienced by investors, being a key measure of securityholder value generation. 3. Group total return is defined as the sum of the change in net tangible assets (NTA) per security plus distributions per security over the performance period, divided by the NTA per security at the beginning of the performance period. Group total return was chosen as a performance condition to reflect the underlying property performance of the business, aligned with the long term returns of the Group. 4. AFFO per security growth is calculated as the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of AFFO per security from the base year (2023) to the end of the relevant performance period. AFFO per security growth was chosen as it measures the underlying earnings of the business, adjusting for maintenance capital expenditure and lease incentives. Growth in this metric will reward in a manner which is aligned to the underlying performance of the portfolio. 5. Entries of "n/a" are for awards that are part-way through their performance periods and where the testing date is in the future. 6. 2022-2024 LTI outcomes by Executive KMP Former Executive KMP Position Performance rights granted % of performance rights vested¹ Performance rights vested % of performance rights lapsed Performance rights lapsed Bob Johnston Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director 413,520 12.87% 53,206 87.13% 360,314 Mark Fookes Chief Operating Officer 158,610 13.52% 21,447 86.48% 137,163 Dean McGuire² Interim Chief Financial Officer 83,553 15.44% 12,900 84.56% 70,653 1.

The Group is a for profit entity. The notes to the financial statements are organised into the following sections: Note 1 – RESULT FOR THE YEAR: focuses on results and performance of GPT. Notes 2 to 9 – OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES: provides information on the assets and liabilities used to generate GPT’s trading performance. Notes 10 to 15 – CAPITAL STRUCTURE: outlines how GPT manages its capital structure and various financial risks. Notes 16 to 25 – OTHER DISCLOSURE ITEMS: provides information on other items that must be disclosed to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and other regulatory pronouncements. Key judgements, estimates and assumptions In applying GPT’s accounting policies, management has made a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions regarding future events. The impact of inflation and interest rate rises has caused heightened levels of economic uncertainty. As such there is a higher level of estimation uncertainty than usual in management's judgements and estimates for the period. Management have reviewed the investment property valuations for both factual accuracy and the reasonableness of assumptions used to determine fair value. See note 2(c) for information on GPT’s valuation process, and note 2(d) for a sensitivity analysis showing indicative movements in investment property valuations should certain key metrics differ from those assumed in the valuations. The following judgements, estimates and assumptions have the potential to have a material impact on the financial statements: Area of judgements and estimates Assumptions underlying Note Investment properties Fair value 2 Equity accounted investments Assessment of control versus significant influence 3 Inventories Lower of cost and net realisable value 6 Security based payments Fair value 20 RESULT FOR THE YEAR 1. Segment Information GPT’s operating segments are described in the following table. The chief operating decision makers monitor the performance of the business on the basis of Funds from Operations (FFO) for each segment. FFO represents GPT’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations, and is determined by adjusting the statutory net profit after tax for certain items which are non-cash, unrealised or capital in nature. FFO has been determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the Property Council of Australia.

A capitalisation interest rate of 5.0% ( 2023 : 4.7% ) has been applied when capitalising interest on qualifying assets. Land and buildings which are held to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, and which are not wholly occupied by GPT, are classified as investment properties. Investment properties are initially recognised at cost and subsequently stated at fair value at each balance date. Fair value is based on the latest independent valuation adjusting for capital expenditure and capitalisation and amortisation of lease incentives since the date of the independent valuation report. Any change in fair value is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period. Properties under development are stated at fair value at each balance date. Fair value is assessed with reference to reliable estimates of future cash flows, status of the development and the associated risk profile. Finance costs incurred on properties undergoing development are included in the cost of the development. Lease incentives provided by GPT to lessees are included in the measurement of fair value of investment property and are amortised over the lease term using a straight line basis. ii) Assets held for sale There is an exchanged sales contract for the remaining land parcel within Austrak Business Park with settlement expected to occur before 30 June 2025. The sales price under the contract is for $10.6 million. On 7 February 2025, the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF) exercised their rights under an option agreement entered into with GPT to purchase a 50 per cent interest in Rouse Hill Town Centre (RHTC).

Investment Properties Basis of valuation In line with the Valuation Policy, GPT independently values each completed investment property (including investment property assets disclosed within equity accounted investments) at least annually with an internal tolerance check prepared every six months when an asset is not independently valued (refer to Note 2(c) for further details on GPT's internal tolerance check process). Independent valuers consider transaction evidence and prevailing market conditions, which guides them in their key valuation assumptions, including capitalisation and discount rates, market rental levels, tenant incentives, lease up periods, income growth rates and capital expenditure. GPT provides factual information to the independent valuers, including passing rent information, outstanding incentives and capital expenditure forecasts which the independent valuers then use to form their own assessment. Management has reviewed the investment property valuations for both factual accuracy and reasonableness of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The fair values are shown in the following tables. a) Investment properties Investment properties Less lease liabilities Fair value Investment properties Less lease liabilities Fair value 31 Dec 24 31 Dec 23 Note $M $M $M $M $M $M Retail 4,518.9 (6.3) 4,512.6 4,715.0 (6.4) 4,708.6 Office 2,450.1 – 2,450.1 2,802.8 – 2,802.8 Logistics 3,473.3 (7.3) 3,466.0 3,511.5 (7.5) 3,504.0 Properties under development 296.6 – 296.6 236.0 – 236.0 Total investment properties (i) 10,738.9 (13.6) 10,725.3 11,265.3 (13.9) 11,251.4 Key judgements, estimates and assumptions continued a) Investment properties continued 74 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 10 Letter from the Chairman 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 28 Risk Management 33 Governance 44 Directors’ Report 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 113 Independent Auditor’s Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 64 Financial Report Discounted cash flow (DCF) Under the DCF method, the fair value is estimated using explicit assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset's or liability's life including an exit or terminal value. The DCF method involves the projection of a series of cash flows from the asset or liability. To this projected cash flow series, an appropriate, market-derived discount rate is applied to establish the present value of the cash flows from the asset or liability. Income capitalisation method This method involves assessing the total net market income receivable from the property and capitalising this in perpetuity to derive a capital value, with allowances for capital expenditure and reversions. Gross market rent A gross market rent is the estimated amount of rent for which a property or space within a property should lease between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Net market rent Net market rent is defined as gross market rent less the building outgoings or cleaning costs paid by the tenant. 10-year average specialty market rental growth The expected annual rate of change in market rent over a 10-year forecast period in specialty tenancy rents. Specialty tenants are those retail tenancies with a gross lettable area of less than 400 square metres (excludes ATMs and kiosks). 10-year average market rental growth The expected annual rate of change in market rent over a 10-year forecast period. Adopted capitalisation rate The rate at which net market income is capitalised to determine the value of a property. The rate is determined with regard to market evidence. Adopted terminal yield The capitalisation rate used to convert income into an indication of the anticipated value of the property at the end of the holding period when carrying out a discounted cash flow calculation. The rate is determined with regard to market evidence. Adopted discount rate The rate of return used to convert a monetary sum, payable or receivable in the future, into present value. Theoretically it should reflect the opportunity cost of capital, that is, the rate of return the capital can earn if put to other uses having similar risk. The rate is determined with regard to market evidence. Land rate (per sqm) The land rate is the market land value per sqm. Profit and risk factor The profit and risk factor is applied to the remaining costs of a development to reflect a target margin required to complete the project. The factor will vary depending on the remaining leasing or construction required. Lease incentives A lease incentive is often provided to a lessee upon the commencement of a lease. Incentives can be a combination of, or, one of the following: a rent-free period, a fit-out contribution, a cash contribution or rental abatement.

A proportion of this balance includes amounts receivable for recovery of operating costs on gross and semi-gross leases which will be accounted for as revenue from contracts with customers as this income is earned. The remainder will be accounted for as lease income as it is earned. Amounts receivable under non-cancellable operating leases where GPT’s right to consideration for a service directly corresponds with the value of the service provided to the customer have not been included (for example, variable amounts payable by tenants for their share of the operating costs of the asset). Leases have only been included where there is an active lease in place and renewal has not been assumed unless there is reasonable certainty that the tenant intends to renew. Key judgements, estimates and assumptions continued 79 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS c) Valuation process – investment properties GPT manages the semi-annual valuation process to ensure that investment properties are held at fair value in GPT’s financial statements and that GPT is compliant with applicable regulations (for example the Corporations Act 2001 and ASIC regulations), the GPT RE Constitution and Compliance Plan. GPT has a Valuation Committee (Committee) which is comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Head of Transactions and Direct Capital and General Counsel. The purpose of the Committee is to: • Approve the panel of independent valuers • Review valuation inputs and assumptions • Where the valuations are conducted internally, provide an escalation process where there are differences of opinion from various team members responsible for the valuation • Oversee the finalisation of the valuations, and • Review the independent valuation sign-off and any comments that have been noted. All independent valuations and internal tolerance checks are reviewed by the Committee prior to these being presented to the Board for approval. Independent valuations GPT’s independent valuations are performed by independent professionally qualified valuers who hold recognised relevant professional qualifications and have specialised expertise in the investment properties being valued. Selected independent valuation firms form part of a panel approved by the Committee. Each valuation firm is limited to undertaking consecutive valuations of a property for a maximum period of two years. Where an exceptional circumstance arises, the extension of the valuer’s term must be approved by the relevant Board. The Valuation Policy requires an independent valuation at least annually for all completed investment properties. Properties under development with a value of $100 million or greater are independently valued at least every six months. Unimproved land is independently valued at least every three years. Additional valuations will be completed in the event an internal tolerance check identifies the requirement for an independent valuation. Critical judgements are made by GPT in respect of the fair values of investment properties (including investment properties within equity accounted investments). Fair values are reviewed regularly by management with reference to independent property valuations, recent transactions and market conditions, and using generally accepted market practices. The valuation process, critical assumptions underlying the valuations and information on sensitivity are disclosed below and in note 2(b). An independent valuer will typically conduct both an income capitalisation valuation and a DCF valuation for each asset, which informs a range of valuation outcomes. The valuer will then apply their expertise in determining an adopted value, which may include adopting one of these specific approaches or a mid-point of these two approaches. The valuation of the properties under development is determined by a development feasibility analysis for each parcel of land within each asset. The development feasibility analysis is prepared on an “as if complete” basis and is a combination of the income capitalisation method and where appropriate, the DCF method. The cost to complete of the development includes development costs, finance costs and an appropriate profit and risk margin. These costs are deducted from the “as if complete” valuation to determine the “as is” basis or “current fair value.” The fair value of vacant land parcels is based on the market land value per square metre. Internal tolerance checks Every six months, with the exception of properties independently valued, an internal tolerance check is prepared. The internal tolerance check involves the preparation of a DCF and income capitalisation valuation for each investment property. These are produced using a capitalisation rate, terminal yield and discount rate based on comparable market evidence and recent independent valuation parameters. The tolerance measurement will typically be a mid-point of these two approaches. These internal tolerance checks are used to determine whether the book value is in line with the fair value or whether an independent valuation is required. Highest and best use The fair value of investment properties is calculated based on the highest and best use whether or not the current use reflects the highest and best use.

Rights are initially measured at cost and subsequently amortised over their useful life. For the management rights of Highpoint Shopping Centre, management considers the useful life as indefinite as there is no fixed term included in the management agreement. Therefore, GPT tests for impairment at balance date. Assets are impaired if the carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined using a discounted cash flow. A 13.75 per cent pre-tax discount rate and 3.22 per cent growth rate have been applied to these asset specific cash flow projections. IT development and software Costs incurred in developing systems and acquiring software and licences that will contribute future financial benefits and which the Group controls (therefore excluding Software as a Service) are capitalised until the software is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. These include external direct costs of materials and services and direct payroll and payroll related costs of employees’ time spent on the project. Amortisation is calculated on a straight line basis over the length of time over which the benefits are expected to be received, generally ranging from 5 to 7 years. IT development and software are assessed for impairment at each reporting date by evaluating if any impairment triggers exist. Where impairment triggers exist, management calculate the recoverable amount. The asset is impaired if the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount. Critical judgements are made by GPT in setting appropriate impairment triggers and assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount. Management believe the carrying value reflects the recoverable amount. Costs incurred in relation to Software as a Service are recognised as an expense as incurred. Carbon offsets The Group has purchased carbon credits (or offsets). These carbon credits are used by the Group to offset its operational emissions or to offset embodied carbon within a development project. The carbon credits are measured at cost and management considers that the carbon credits have an indefinite useful life. Therefore, GPT tests for impairment at balance date. The costs of the carbon credits include any direct purchase costs. Assets are impaired if the carrying value exceeds their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is determined with reference to the current market price for equivalent carbon credits. When carbon credits are utilised, they are derecognised and the cost is recognised as an expense where the carbon credits are utilised to offset operational emissions, or capitalised to development costs of investment properties where utilised to offset embodied carbon. GPT has assessed the carbon credits for impairment indicators and has calculated the recoverable amount where indicators exist. There was no impairment for the year ended 31 December 2024 ( 31 December 2023 : $0.5m). 5. Intangible Assets continued 85 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Recoverability of receivables Management has assessed whether these balances are “credit impaired”, and where required have recognised a loss allowance equal to the lifetime ECL. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset is expected to occur. Lifetime ECLs result from all possible default events over the expected life of the trade receivable and are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the contracted cash flows due to GPT and the cash flows expected to be received). A default on receivables is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments when they fall due and management determines that the debt is uncollectible, or where management forgives all or part of the debt. Debts that are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. At 31 December 2024 , GPT has assessed the likelihood of future defaults and debt forgiveness taking into account several factors. These include the risk profile of the tenant, the asset location and other economic conditions impacting the tenants' ability to pay. This has resulted in an ECL allowance of $ 6.8 million being recognised as at 31 December 2024 ( 31 December 2023 : $14.4 million). The remaining net balance of trade receivables (excluding accrued income and related party receivables) is $ 16.4 million ( 31 December 2023 : $7.2 million). 5.

Cost includes the cost of acquisition and any subsequent capital addition. For development properties, cost also includes development, finance costs and all other costs directly related to specific projects including an allocation of direct overhead expenses. Post completion of the development, finance costs and other holding charges are expensed as incurred. A total of $ 3.8 million in finance costs have been capitalised to inventory for the year ended 31 December 2024 ( 31 December 2023 : $3.6 million). When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. For wholly owned, internally managed developments, this expense is determined on a forward looking, revenue proportional basis. Net realisable value (NRV) The NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs to sell, and where relevant, any estimated costs of completion. At each reporting date, management reviews these estimates by considering: • The most reliable evidence, and • Any events which confirm conditions existing at the year end that could cause any fluctuations of selling price and costs to sell. The amount of any write down is recognised as an impairment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Taxation continued Tax relating to equity items Income taxes relating to items recognised directly in equity are recognised in equity and not in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Effective tax rate The Australian Accounting Standards Board have issued a Draft Appendix to the Tax Transparency Code outlining the method to calculate the effective tax rate as shown in note 9(b), using: • Accounting profit before tax adjusted to exclude transactions which are not reflected in the calculation of income tax expense, including; – Trust taxable income which is attributed in full to its securityholders, and – Non-tax related material items in the Company, and • Tax expense adjusted to exclude carry forward tax losses that have been recognised and prior year tax under/ overstatements. Attribution managed investment trust regime The Trust made an election to be an attribution managed investment trust (AMIT). Under Australia’s taxation laws, securityholders of the Trust pay income tax to the Federal Government on taxable income that is attributed to them as part of the Trust distribution process. In the case where a GPT securityholder is an Australian resident, the securityholder pays tax on the taxable income attributed to them at their own applicable tax rate. Where the securityholder is a non-resident, Managed Investment Trust (MIT) withholding tax applies at the rate of 15 per cent where the place of payment is in a country that has an exchange of information agreement with Australia. If such an agreement does not exist, a withholding tax rate of 30 per cent or 45 per cent applies, depending on the circumstances. CAPITAL STRUCTURE Capital is defined as the combination of securityholders’ equity, reserves and net debt (borrowings less cash and cash equivalents). The Board is responsible for monitoring and approving the capital management framework within which management operates. The purpose of the framework is to safeguard GPT’s ability to continue as a going concern while optimising its debt and equity structure. GPT aims to maintain a capital structure which includes net gearing levels within a range of 25 to 35 per cent that is consistent with a stable investment grade credit rating in the “A category”. At 31 December 2024 , GPT is credit rated A- (stable) / A2 (stable) by Standard and Poor’s (S&P) and Moody’s Investor Services (Moody’s) respectively. The ratings are important as they reflect the investment grade credit rating of GPT which allows access to global capital markets to fund the business. The stronger ratings improve both the availability of capital, in terms of amount and tenor, and reduce the cost at which it can be obtained. GPT is able to vary the capital mix by: • Issuing stapled securities • Buying back stapled securities • Activating the distribution reinvestment plan • Adjusting the amount of distributions paid to stapled securityholders • Selling assets to reduce borrowings, or • Increasing borrowings. 89 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M c) Current tax liabilities Opening balance at the beginning of the year (4.3) 6.2 Current income tax expense (11.2) (11.5) Tax payment/(refund) made to tax authorities 8.2 (0.2) Movements in reserves (0.4) 1.2 Closing balance at the end of the year (7.7) (4.3) d) Net deferred tax assets Employee benefits 10.9 14.8 Provisions and accruals 1.4 2.0 Right-of-use assets (2.8) (6.6) Lease liabilities 6.8 11.2 Other 8.5 5.3 Net deferred tax assets 24.8 26.7 Movement in temporary differences during the year Opening balance at the beginning of the year 26.7 21.9 Income tax (expense)/benefit (1.7) 4.6 Movement in reserves (0.2) 0.2 Closing balance at the end of the year 24.8 26.7 Trust Property investments are held by the Trust for the purposes of earning rental income. Under current tax legislation, the Trust is not liable for income tax provided the taxable income of the Trust including realised capital gains is attributed in full to its securityholders each financial year. Securityholders are subject to income tax at their own marginal tax rates on amounts attributable to them. Company Income tax expense for the financial year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income. This is adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets – recognition Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carried forward unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent it is probable that taxable profit will be available to utilise them. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets – measurement Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between accounting carrying amounts and the tax cost bases of assets and liabilities, other than for the following: • Where taxable temporary differences relate to investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures: – Deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future, and – Deferred tax assets are not recognised if it is not probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will not be available to utilise the temporary differences. 9.

Financial Risk Management continued Debt covenants GPT’s borrowings are subject to a range of covenants, according to the specific purpose and nature of the loans. Most bank facilities include one or more of the following covenants: • Gearing: adjusted borrowings must not exceed 50% of adjusted total tangible assets and • Interest coverage: the ratio of operating earnings before interest and taxes to finance costs on borrowings is not to be less than 2 times. A breach of these covenants may trigger consequences ranging from rectifying and/or repricing to repayment of outstanding amounts. GPT performed a review of debt covenants as at 31 December 2024 and no breaches were identified noting: • Primary covenant gearing ratio as at 31 December 2024 is 29.1 per cent, and • Interest cover ratio for the 12 months to 31 December 2024 is 4.0 times . 14. Financial Risk Management The GPT Board approve GPT’s treasury policy which: • Establishes a framework for the management of risks inherent to the capital structure • Defines the role of GPT’s treasury, and • Sets out the policies, limits, monitoring and reporting requirements for cash, borrowings, liquidity, credit risk, foreign exchange, interest rate and other derivative instruments. a) Derivatives As part of normal business operations, GPT is exposed to financial market risks which are principally interest rate risk on borrowings and foreign exchange rate risk on foreign currency borrowings. GPT manages these risks through the use of derivative instruments including interest rate swaps (fixed to floating, floating to fixed and floating to floating swaps), cross currency interest rate swaps and option based derivatives. Regular coupons under these instruments are reported in finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income along with the interest cost on borrowings to which it relates. Derivatives are carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at fair value and classified according to expected cash flow. If they do not qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value (including amortisation of upfront payments including premiums) are recognised in net gain/loss on fair value movements of derivatives in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting and are designated in hedge relationships, the recognition of any gain or loss depends on the nature of the item being hedged. Refer to note 14(b) on hedge accounting. All of GPT’s derivatives are measured at fair value using market observable valuation inputs (level 2). For additional fair value disclosures refer to note 15. 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M Derivative Assets Interest Rate Swaps – AUD 57.7 63.3 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps – fair value hedges 68.0 9.9 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps – dual fair value and cash flow hedges 431.3 290.5 Total Derivative Assets 557.0 363.7 Derivative Liabilities Interest Rate Swaps – AUD 85.1 70.0 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps – fair value hedges 26.0 42.6 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swaps – dual fair value and cash flow hedges 20.1 25.5 Total Derivative Liabilities 131.2 138.1 Net Derivative Assets 425.8 225.6 GPT enters into ISDA (International Swap Derivatives Association) Master Agreements with its derivative counterparties. Under the terms of these agreements, where certain credit events occur, there is a right to set-off the position owing/receivable to a single counterparty to a net position as long as all outstanding derivatives with that counterparty are terminated. As GPT does not presently have a legally enforceable right to set-off, these amounts have not been offset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. In the event a credit event occurred, the ISDA Master Agreement would have the effect of netting, allowing a reduction to derivative assets and derivative liabilities of the same amount of $122.2 million ( 31 December 2023 : $104.1 million). 95 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS All borrowings with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting date are classified as non-current liabilities. Borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. When the terms of a financial liability are modified, AASB 9 Financial Instruments (AASB9) requires an entity to perform an assessment to determine whether the modified terms are substantially different from the existing financial liability. Where a modification is substantial, it will be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and a recognition of a new financial liability. Where the modification does not result in extinguishment, the difference between the existing carrying amount of the financial liability and the modified cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as a gain/loss on modification of financial liabilities. GPT management has assessed the modification of terms requirements within AASB 9 and have concluded that these have not materially impacted the Group. The following table outlines the cumulative amount of fair value hedge adjustments and impact of exchange rate changes that are included in the carrying amount of foreign currency borrowings, which are designated in hedging relationships, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M Nominal amount 2,272.5 2,272.5 Unamortised borrowing costs (4.2) (5.0) Amortised cost 2,268.3 2,267.5 Cumulative fair value hedge adjustments and impact of exchange rate changes 433.1 212.6 Carrying amount – foreign currency borrowings 2,701.4 2,480.1 The carrying value of cross currency interest rate swaps hedging the above foreign currency borrowings is included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within derivative assets totalling $ 499.3 million ( 2023 : $300.4 million) and within derivative liabilities totalling $ 46.1 million ( 2023 : $68.1 million).

This mainly arises from borrowings. Interest rate risk inherent on borrowings issued at floating rates is managed by entering into interest rate swaps that are used to convert a portion of floating interest rate borrowings to fixed interest rates, which reduces GPT’s exposure to interest rate volatility. The following table provides a summary of GPT’s gross interest rate risk exposure as at 31 December 2024 on interest bearing borrowings as well as the net effect of interest rate risk management transactions. This excludes unamortised borrowing costs and fair value and other adjustments. 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M Fixed Rate Exposure Fixed rate borrowings 2,919.1 3,119.1 Borrowings hedged via interest rate swaps1 995.9 1,520.9 Effective fixed rate borrowings 3,915.0 4,640.0 Floating Rate Exposure Floating rate borrowings 1,480.7 1,457.5 Borrowings hedged via interest rate swaps1 (995.9) (1,520.9) Effective floating rate borrowings 484.8 (63.4) 1. Net interest rate swaps converting floating rate borrowings into fixed rate borrowings. b) Hedge accounting GPT’s objective is to manage the risk of volatility in FFO and NTA and whilst economic hedges exist to manage its financial market risks, GPT has elected to apply hedge accounting only in relation to foreign currency borrowings. Foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising from foreign currency borrowings are managed with cross currency interest rate swaps which convert foreign currency fixed interest rate cash flows into Australian dollar floating interest rate cash flows. At inception of the hedge relationship, GPT designates and documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item and the proposed effectiveness of the risk management objective the hedge relationship addresses. GPT fully hedges 100 per cent of its foreign currency exposure in respect of foreign currency borrowings with cross currency interest rate swaps and therefore applies a hedge ratio of 1:1. This means that whilst there are fair value movements from period to period, there is 100 per cent matching of cash flows, resulting in nil fair value movements over the duration of the borrowings nor FFO impact in any period. On an ongoing basis, GPT determines and documents its assessment of prospective hedge effectiveness of all hedge relationships. Cross currency interest rate swaps hedging foreign currency borrowings are designated as either dual fair value and cash flow hedges or fair value hedges only. Fair value hedges A fair value hedge is a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of the underlying item (foreign currency borrowings) that is attributable to a particular risk (movements in foreign benchmark interest rates and if applicable, foreign exchange rates). All changes in the fair value of the foreign currency borrowings relating to the risk being hedged are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income together with the changes in the fair value of cross currency interest rate swaps with the net difference reflecting the hedge ineffectiveness. Cash flow hedges A cash flow hedge is a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk (movements in foreign exchange rates) associated with a liability (foreign currency borrowings). The portion of the fair value gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is effective (that which offsets the movement on the hedged item attributable to foreign exchange movements) is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in equity and any ineffective portion is recognised as net gain/loss from hedge ineffectiveness on qualifying hedges directly in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Currency basis A component of the cross currency interest rate swap is the currency basis. This is a liquidity premium that is charged for exchanging different currencies, and changes over time. Where currency basis has been included in fair value hedge designations, movement in currency basis is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. In all other cases, currency basis have been excluded from GPT’s fair value hedge designation with movements recognised in Other Comprehensive Income and accumulated in the cost of hedging reserve in equity. Designated hedging instruments The following table shows the nominal amount of derivatives designated in cash flow and/or fair value hedge relationships in time bands based on the maturity of each derivative. 31 Dec 24 31 Dec 23 Less than 1 year $M 1 to 5 years $M Over 5 years $M Total $M Less than 1 year $M 1 to 5 years $M Over 5 years $M Total $M Cross currency interest rate swaps USD exposure AUD nominal amount 145.9 613.2 698.7 1,457.8 _ 372.0 1,085.8 1,457.8 Average receive fixed interest rate 3.6% 3.8% 3.8% _ 3.6% 3.9% Average contracted FX rate (AUD/USD) 1.0283 0.8125 0.7442 _ 0.9410 0.7874 HKD exposure AUD nominal amount _ 167.9 646.8 814.7 _ 167.9 646.8 814.7 Average receive fixed interest rate _ 3.3% 3.7% _ 3.3% 3.7% Average contracted FX rate (AUD/HKD) _ 7.1465 5.4990 _ 7.1465 5.4990 14.

Refinancing risk arises when GPT is required to obtain debt to fund existing and new debt positions. GPT manages this risk by spreading sources, counterparties and maturities of borrowings in order to minimise debt concentration risk, allow averaging of credit margins over time and reducing refinance amounts. As at 31 December 2024 , GPT’s exposure to refinancing risk can be monitored by the spreading of its contractual maturities on borrowings in the liquidity risk table above together with the information in note 13. f) Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk refers to the risk that the value of a financial commitment, asset or liability will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. GPT’s foreign exchange risk arises primarily from: • Firm commitments of highly probable forecast transactions for receipts and payments settled in foreign currencies or with prices dependent on foreign currencies; and • Investments in foreign assets. The foreign exchange risk arising from borrowings denominated in foreign currency is managed with cross currency interest rate swaps which convert foreign currency exposures into Australian dollar exposures. Sensitivity to foreign exchange is deemed insignificant. Foreign currency assets and liabilities The following table shows the Australian dollar equivalents of amounts within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position which are denominated in foreign currencies. United States Dollars Hong Kong Dollars 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M 31 Dec 24 $M 31 Dec 23 $M Assets Derivative financial instruments 358.8 222.2 140.5 78.2 358.8 222.2 140.5 78.2 Liabilities Derivative financial instruments 19.3 30.0 26.8 38.2 Borrowings1 1,779.4 1,641.2 926.2 843.9 1,798.7 1,671.2 953.0 882.1 1. Excluding unamortised borrowing costs. g) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a contracting entity will not complete its obligations under a contractual agreement, resulting in a financial loss to GPT. GPT has exposure to credit risk on all financial assets included on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. GPT manages this risk by: • Establishing credit limits for financial institutions and monitoring credit exposures for customers to ensure that GPT only trades and invests with approved counterparties; • Investing and transacting derivatives with multiple counterparties that have a minimum long term credit rating of A- from S&P, or equivalent if an S&P rating is not available, minimising exposure to any one counterparty; • Providing loans into joint ventures, associates and third parties, only where GPT is comfortable with the underlying property exposure within that entity; • Regularly monitoring loans and receivables balances; • Regularly monitoring the performance of its associates, joint ventures and third parties; and • Obtaining collateral as security (where appropriate). Receivables are reviewed regularly throughout the year. A provision for doubtful debts is recognised at an amount equal to lifetime 'expected credit loss' (ECL). Refer to note 4 for the calculation of lifetime ECL. GPT’s policy is to hold collateral as security over tenants via bank guarantees (or less frequently, collateral such as bond deposits or cash). The maximum exposure to credit risk as at 31 December 2024 is the carrying amounts of financial assets recognised on GPT’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. For more information refer to note 4. 14.

GPT manages liquidity risk by: • Maintaining sufficient cash; • Maintaining an adequate amount of committed credit facilities; • Maintaining a minimum liquidity buffer in cash and surplus committed facilities for the forward rolling twelve month period; • Minimising debt maturity concentration risk by diversifying sources and spreading maturity dates of committed credit facilities and maintaining a minimum weighted average debt maturity of 4 years; and • Maintaining the ability to close out market positions. The following table provides an analysis of the undiscounted contractual maturities of liabilities which forms part of GPT’s assessment of liquidity risk: 31 Dec 24 31 Dec 23 1 year or less $M Over 1 year to 2 years $M Over 2 years to 5 years $M Over 5 years $M Total $M 1 year or less $M Over 1 year to 2 years $M Over 2 years to 5 years $M Over 5 years $M Total $M Payables 486.4 – – – 486.4 408.5 – – – 408.5 Lease liabilities 8.5 4.4 5.6 18.7 37.2 10.9 8.5 9.0 19.7 48.1 Borrowings 241.3 582.9 2,159.6 2,060.9 5,044.7 267.1 252.5 1,761.9 2,294.9 4,576.4 Projected finance cost from borrowings1 195.3 179.8 395.2 194.3 964.6 261.9 228.6 476.6 355.1 1,322.2 Derivative Financial Liabilities – Interest rate swaps1,2 19.4 15.3 40.6 20.3 95.6 22.9 18.5 36.6 34.0 112.0 Derivative Financial Liabilities – Cross currency swaps1,2 Cash outflow 5.3 5.0 15.6 105.8 131.7 50.1 45.9 137.0 1,025.5 1,258.5 Cash inflow (2.3) (2.3) (6.9) (112.3) (123.8) (32.4) (32.3) (96.9) (991.8) (1,153.4) Net liquidity exposure 953.9 785.1 2,609.7 2,287.7 6,636.4 953.0 570.3 2,386.7 2,834.4 6,744.4 1. Projection is based on the likely outcome of contracts given the interest rates, margins, interest rate forward curves as at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 up until the contractual maturity of the contract. The projection is based on future non-discounted cash flows and does not ascribe any value to optionality on any instrument which may be included in the current market values. Projected interest on foreign currency borrowings is shown after the impact of associated hedging. 2. In accordance with AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, the future value of contractual cash flows of non-derivative and derivative liabilities only is to be included in liquidity risk disclosures. As derivatives are exchanges of cash flows, the positive cash flows from derivative assets have been disclosed separately to provide a more meaningful analysis of GPT’s net liquidity exposure. The methodology used in calculating projected interest income on derivative assets is consistent with the above liquidity risk disclosures. 14.

All inputs are market observable. Borrowings classified as Level 3 relate to foreign currency denominated borrowings as GPT's own credit spreads are not market observable. These spreads are sourced from banks. Refer to note 13 for breakdown. 1. Level 1 – Fair value is calculated using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – Fair value is calculated using 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 – Fair value is calculated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable data (unobservable inputs). 2. Credit value adjustments are applied to derivative assets based on that counterparty’s credit risk using observable credit default swap curves as a proxy for credit risk. Debit value adjustments are applied to derivative liabilities based on GPT's credit risk using observable credit default swap curves as a proxy for credit risk. 100 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 10 Letter from the Chairman 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 28 Risk Management 33 Governance 44 Directors’ Report 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 113 Independent Auditor’s Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 64 Financial Report 19. Contingent Liabilities A contingent liability is a liability that is not sufficiently certain to qualify for recognition as a provision where uncertainty may exist regarding the outcome of future events. As at 31 December 2024 , GPT has no material contingent liabilities. 20. Security Based Payments GPT currently has four employee security schemes – the General Employee Security Ownership Plan (GESOP), the Broad Based Employee Security Ownership Plan (BBESOP), the Deferred Short Term Incentive Plan (DSTIC) and the Long Term Incentive (LTI) Scheme. a) GESOP The Board believes in creating ways for employees to build an ownership stake in the business. As a result, the GESOP is in place for individuals who do not participate in the LTI. Under the plan individuals who participate receive an additional benefit equivalent to 10 per cent of their short term incentives (STIC). The amount after the deduction of income tax is invested in GPT securities to be held for a minimum of one year. The cost of this benefit is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. b) BBESOP Under the plan individuals who are not eligible to participate in any other employee security scheme may receive $1,000 worth of GPT securities or $1,000 cash if GPT achieves at least target level performance. Securities must be held for the earlier of three years or the end of employment. The cost of this benefit is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. c) DSTIC DSTIC is delivered to the senior executives. In the current year, any short term incentive compensation (STIC) awarded above 80% of target STIC will be awarded as deferred rights, with the remainder awarded as 50 per cent in cash or the option to receive GPT rights (voluntary deferral) and 50 per cent in GPT rights (a mandatory deferred component). The mandatory deferred component is rewarded in deferred rights which vest one year after award, subject to continued employment up to the vesting date. The voluntary deferral rights have a minimum deferral period of 12 months from the end of the performance period and are not subject to forfeiture on termination of employment. d) LTI At the 2009 AGM, GPT securityholders approved the introduction of a LTI plan based on performance rights. The LTI plan covers each three or four year period. Awards under the LTI to eligible participants are in the form of performance rights which convert to GPT stapled securities for nil consideration if specified performance conditions for the applicable three or four year period are satisfied. Please refer to the Remuneration Report for detail on the performance conditions. The 2024 LTI plan has Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) per security growth as a performance condition. AFFO at December 2024 is $470.0 million. The Board determines those executives eligible to participate in the plan and, for each participating executive, grants a number of performance rights calculated as a percentage of their base salary divided by GPT’s volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the 30-day period immediately prior to the commencement of the performance period. Fair value of performance rights and restricted securities under DSTIC and LTI The fair value of the performance rights is recognised as an employee benefit expense over the vesting period ( 2024 : $6.0 million, 2023 : $4.0 million) with a corresponding increase in the employee incentive scheme reserve in equity. For LTI, the fair value is measured at grant date. For DSTIC, the fair value is measured at each reporting date until the grant date. Total security based payment expense based on the fair value is recognised over the period from the service commencement date to the vesting date of the performance rights. Non-market vesting conditions are included in the calculation of the number of rights that are expected to vest. At each reporting date, GPT revises its estimate of the number of performance rights that are expected to vest and the employee benefit expense recognised each reporting period takes into account the most recent estimate. The impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income with a corresponding adjustment to equity. 103 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 17.

Revenue for leases with fixed increases is recognised on a straight line basis for the minimum contracted rent over the lease term with an asset recognised as a component of investment properties relating to the fixed increases in operating lease rentals in future periods. When GPT provides lease incentives to tenants, these costs are amortised against lease income on a straight line basis. Contingent rental income is recognised as revenue in the period in which it is earned. In addition to revenue generated directly from the lease, rent from investment properties includes non-lease revenue earned from tenants, predominately in relation to recovery of asset operating costs, which is recognised and measured under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. 18.

Accounting Policies a) Basis of preparation The financial statements are a general purpose financial report which has been prepared: • In accordance with the requirements of the Trust’s Constitution, Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards; • In accordance with the recognition and measurement requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB); • On a going concern basis. GPT has prepared an assessment of its ability to continue as a going concern, taking into account all available information for a period of 12 months from the signing date of these financial statements and future cash flow assessments have been made, taking into consideration appropriate probability-weighted factors. GPT is confident in the belief it will realise its assets and settle its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for at least the amounts stated in the financial statements. The net deficiency of current assets over current liabilities of $ 396.4 million is impacted by the inclusion of the distribution payable of $229.9 million and borrowings due within 12 months (inclusive of $ 340.3 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities). As set out in note 13, GPT has access to $ 1,859.6 million in undrawn financing facilities (prior to repayment of the uncommitted facilities). Refer to note 24(b) for further information on going concern; • Under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation for financial assets and liabilities and investment properties at fair value through the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income; • Using consistent accounting policies with adjustments to align any dissimilar accounting policies being adopted by the controlled entities, associates or joint ventures; and • In Australian dollars with all values rounded in the nearest hundred thousand dollars in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, unless otherwise stated. GPT is an entity to which the Instrument applies. In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, the stapled entity reflects the consolidated entity. Equity attributable to other stapled entities is a form of non-controlling interest and represents the contributed equity of the Company. Comparatives in the financial statements have been restated to the current year presentation. As a result of the stapling, investors in GPT may receive payments from each component of the stapled security comprising distributions from the Trust and dividends from the Company. The financial report was approved by the Board of Directors on 17 February 2025 . b) Going Concern GPT is of the opinion that it is able to meet its liabilities and commitments as and when they fall due for at least a period of 12 months from the reporting date. In reaching this position, GPT has taken into account the following factors: • Available liquidity, through cash and undrawn facilities, of $ 1,146.3 million (after allowing for repayment of $340.3 million of outstanding uncommitted facilities) as at 31 December 2024 ; • Weighted average debt expiry of 5.1 years , with sufficient liquidity in place to cover the $152.5 million of debt (excluding outstanding uncommitted facilities) due between the date of this report and 31 December 2025 ; • Primary covenant gearing of 29.1 per cent, compared to a covenant level of 50.0 per cent, and • Interest cover ratio for the twelve months to 31 December 2024 of 4.0 times , compared to a covenant level of 2.0 times. c) Basis of consolidation Controlled entities The consolidated financial statements of GPT include the assets, liabilities and results of all controlled entities for the financial year. Controlled entities are all entities over which GPT has control. GPT controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Controlled entities are consolidated from the date on which control is obtained to the date on which control is disposed. The acquisition of controlled entities is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated. 107 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 22.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST. The net amount of GST receivable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority. iii) Revenue Rental revenue from investment properties is recognised on a straight line basis for the minimum contracted rent over the lease term with an asset recognised as a component of investment properties relating to the fixed increases in operating lease rentals in future periods. When GPT provides lease incentives to tenants, these costs are amortised against lease income on a straight line basis. Contingent rental income is recognised as revenue in the period in which it is earned. Revenue from dividends and distributions is recognised when they are declared. Interest income is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest method The following table summarises the revenue recognition policies. Type of revenue Description Recognised Recoveries revenue The Group recovers the costs associated with general building and tenancy operation from lessees in accordance with specific clauses within lease agreements. These are invoiced monthly based on an annual estimate. The consideration for the current month is due on the first day of the month. Revenue is recognised as the estimated costs are consumed by the tenant. Should any adjustment be required based on actual costs incurred, this is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within the same reporting period and billed annually. Over time Recharge revenue The Group recovers costs for any additional specific services requested by the lessee under the lease agreement. These costs are recovered in accordance with specific clauses within the lease agreements. Revenue from recharges is recognised as the services are provided. The lessee is invoiced on a monthly basis, where applicable. The consideration for the current month is due on the first day of the month. Over time Fund management fees The Company provides fund management services to GPT Wholesale Office Fund (GWOF), GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF), GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust (GQLT) as well as mandates managed by GPT in accordance with their contractual arrangements. The services are utilised on an ongoing basis and revenue is calculated and recognised in accordance with the relevant constitution. The fees are invoiced on a quarterly basis and consideration is payable within 21 days of the quarter end. Over time Fee income – property management fees The Company provides property management services to the owners of property assets in accordance with property services agreements. The services are utilised on an ongoing basis and revenue is calculated and recognised in accordance with the specific agreement. The fees are invoiced monthly with variable payment terms depending on the individual agreements. Should an adjustment, as calculated in accordance with the property services agreement be required, this is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within the same reporting period. Over time Fee income – property management leasing fees – over time Under some property management agreements, the Company provides a lease management service to the owners. These services are delivered on an ongoing basis and revenue is recognised monthly, calculated in accordance with the property management agreement. The fees are invoiced monthly with variable payment terms depending on the individual agreements. Over time Fee income – property management leasing fees – point in time Under some property management agreements, the Company provides a lease management service to the owners. The revenue is recognised when the specific service is delivered (e.g. on lease execution) and consideration is due 30 days from invoice date. Point in time Development management fees The Company provides development management services to the owners of property assets in accordance with development management agreements. Revenue is calculated and recognised in accordance with the specific agreement. The fees are invoiced on a monthly basis, in arrears, and consideration is due 30 days from invoice date. Over time/ point in time Sale of inventory Proceeds from the sale of inventory are recognised by the Company in accordance with a specific contract entered into with another party for the delivery of inventory. Revenue is calculated in accordance with the contract. Consideration is payable in accordance with the contract. Revenue is recognised when control has been transferred to the buyer. Point in time 24. Accounting Policies continued d) Other accounting policies continued 109 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Associates Associates are entities over which GPT has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying voting or decision making rights of between 20 per cent and 50 per cent. Management considered if GPT controls its associates and concluded that it does not based on its level of control over each associate. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under this method, GPT’s investment in associates is carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at cost plus post acquisition changes in GPT’s share of net assets. GPT’s share of the associates’ result is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where GPT’s share of losses in associates equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured long term receivables, GPT does not recognise any further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Joint arrangements Investment in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. GPT has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined it has both joint operations and joint ventures. Joint operations GPT has significant co-ownership interests in a number of properties through unincorporated joint ventures. These interests are held directly and jointly as tenants in common. GPT recognises its direct share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in the consolidated financial statements under the appropriate headings. The investment properties that are directly owned as tenants in common are disclosed in note 2. Joint ventures Investment in joint ventures are accounted for in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position using the equity method which is the same method adopted for associates. d) Other accounting policies Material accounting policies that summarise the recognition and measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements. i) Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the GPT entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (‘the functional currency’). Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Foreign operations Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost are converted using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences of non-monetary items, such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss, are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. Exchange differences arising on monetary items that form part of the net investment in a foreign operation are taken against a foreign currency translation reserve on consolidation. Where forward foreign exchange contracts are entered into to cover any anticipated excesses of revenue less expenses within foreign joint ventures, they are converted at the ruling rates of exchange at the reporting period. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are taken to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 24.

An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. GPT has assessed the right-of-use assets for impairment indicators and has calculated the recoverable amount where indicators exist. This has resulted in nil impairment expense for the year ( 31 December 2023 : $1.3 million). Ground Leases A lease liability reflecting the leasehold arrangements of investment properties is separately disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the carrying value of the investment properties is adjusted (i.e. grossed up) so that the net of these two amounts equals the fair value of the investment properties. The lease liabilities are calculated as the net present value of the future lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate. e) New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2024 GPT has applied the following standard and amendments for the first time for the annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2024 : • AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards –Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and AASB 2022-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants amend AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements. As a result of the adoption of the amendments to AASB 101, GPT changed its accounting policy for the classification of borrowings: "Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless at the end of the reporting period, the Group has a right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period." This new policy did not result in a change in the classification of the Group's borrowings. The Group did not make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting the amendments to AASB 101. Other than the above, there are no significant changes to GPT’s financial performance and position as a result of the adoption of the new and amended accounting standards and interpretations effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 . The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding annual reporting period with the exception of new and amended standards and interpretations commencing 1 January 2024 that have been adopted where applicable. f) New accounting standards and interpretations issued but not yet adopted Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2024 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. 25. Events subsequent to reporting date On 31 January 2025, GPT acquired 50 per cent of Cockburn Gateway and Belmont Forum, two premium Perth retail assets for $482.0 million, establishing a new retail partnership with the Perron Group. On 7 February 2025, settlement occurred on the disposal of 6 Herb Elliott Avenue, Sydney Olympic Park for $36.7 million. This asset was classified as properties held for sale within inventories in the GPT financial statements as at 31 December 2024. On 7 February 2025, GPT exchanged unconditional contracts with the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund (GWSCF) for the disposal of a 50 per cent interest in Rouse Hill Town Centre (RHTC) for $395.0 million. RHTC was classified as an asset held for sale in the GPT financial statements as at 31 December 2024. Concurrently, GPT entered into an agreement with GWSCF to acquire an additional 8.33 per cent interest in Highpoint Shopping Centre for $204.6 million, bringing GPT’s total ownership interest of this property to 25 per cent. These contracts are expected to settle simultaneously around 31 March 2025. The Directors are not aware of any other matter or circumstance occurring since 31 December 2024 that has significantly or may significantly affect the operations of GPT, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of GPT in the subsequent financial periods. 25. Events subsequent to reporting date continued e) New and amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted from 1 January 2024 continued 111 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As at 31 December 2014, contract assets were fully amortised resulting in a value of nil ( 31 December 2023 : $7.5 million). These assets amortised over a contract period of two years beginning 16 December 2022. Amortisation of this asset offsets revenue from funds management fees, or is recognised in expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, depending on the nature of the contract payments made. iv) Expenses Property expenses and outgoings which include rates, taxes and other property outgoings, are recognised on an accruals basis. v) Finance costs Finance costs include interest on borrowings and regular coupons paid or received under derivative instruments hedging GPT’s interest rate risk on a portfolio basis, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings. Finance costs are expensed as incurred unless they relate to a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset under development which generally takes a substantial period of time to bring to its intended use or sale. Finance costs incurred for the acquisition and construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised to the cost of the asset for the period of time that is required to complete the asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically for a development project, finance costs associated with the development facility are capitalised. Where funds are used from Group borrowings, finance costs are capitalised using the relevant capitalisation rate taking into account the Group’s weighted average cost of debt. vi) Leases Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, GPT’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate is calculated by interpolating or extrapolating secondary market yields on the Group’s domestic medium term notes (MTNs) for a term equivalent to the lease. If there are no MTNs that mature within a reasonable proximity of the lease term, indicative pricing of where the Group can price a new debt capital market issue for a comparative term will be used in the calculation. Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by: • increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability • reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made; and • remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications. Interest on the lease liability and any variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which they relate. Interest on lease liabilities included in Finance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income totalled $0.6 million for the year ( 31 December 2023 : $0.9 million). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The cost of the asset includes: • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received • any initial direct costs; and • restoration cost. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis from the commencement date of the lease to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, unless they meet the definition of an investment property. Right-of-use assets which meet the definition of an investment property form part of the investment property balance and are measured at fair value in accordance with AASB 140 Investment Property (refer note 2 and the following section on ground leases). GPT's right-of-use assets are all property leases. GPT determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease together with both: • the periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and • periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. Management considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option or not exercise a termination option. This assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee. 24.

In line with the Group’s valuation policy, GPT independently values each completed investment property (including investment property assets disclosed within equity accounted investments) at least annually. We considered this a key audit matter because of: ● the relative size of the investment property balance in the consolidated statement of financial position (including investment properties within equity accounted investments). ● the inherently subjective nature of the key assumptions that underpin the valuation models, including, amongst others, the capitalisation and discount rates. ● the extent of judgment involved in considering the impact of the uncertain economic environment on investment property valuations. objectivity of the external valuers. We met with management to discuss the specifics of the property portfolio including significant leasing activity, capital expenditure and vacancies impacting the portfolio. We met with a selection of external valuation firms to develop an understanding of their processes, judgements and observations. For a selection of investment properties which were assessed as being at greater risk of material misstatement, we performed the following procedures, amongst others, to assess the appropriateness of certain significant assumptions used in the assessment of fair value. We: ● obtained the valuation models and held discussions with management to develop an understanding of the basis for assumptions used. ● assessed the appropriateness of the methodology adopted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and the mathematical accuracy of the valuation models. ● assessed the appropriateness of the capitalisation rate and discount rate used in the valuation models by comparing them against market data for comparable properties. ● assessed the appropriateness of other significant assumptions in the valuation models by considering observable external market data. We evaluated the disclosures made against the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. Other information The directors of GPT RE Limited, the Responsible Entity of General Property Trust, (the directors) are responsible for the other information.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report. We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates. Audit Scope ● Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events. ● In establishing the overall approach to the audit of the Group, we determined the type of work that needed to be performed by us, as the group auditor. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matters to the Audit and Risk Committee. Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter Valuation of investment properties, including investment properties in equity accounted investments Refer to Note 2 and 3 The Group’s investment property portfolio is comprised of office, retail and logistics properties including properties under development in those categories.

Investment properties are valued at fair value at each balance date and the value is dependent on the We performed the following procedures, amongst others: We obtained an understanding of the control activities relevant to our audit over the data provided by the Group to external valuers; and review and recommendation of the valuations by the Valuation Committee. We assessed whether certain control activities were appropriately designed and operated effectively throughout the year ended 31 December 2024. We obtained a selection of property market reports and, together with our PwC real estate experts, obtained an understanding of the prevailing market conditions and their expected impact on the Group’s completed investment properties. We agreed the fair value in investment property valuation reports to the Group’s accounting records and assessed the competency, capability, and 114 THE GPT GROUP 2024 ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL REPORT INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT GPT Website Investor Centre GPT Policies and Governance Case Study Library Sustainability Website Sustainability Data Dashboard Contents 03 2024 Highlights 04 Business Overview 08 Strategy 10 Letter from the Chairman 12 Letter from the CEO 14 Group Performance 28 Risk Management 33 Governance 44 Directors’ Report 46 Remuneration Report 63 Auditor’s Independence Declaration 64 Financial Report 118 Securityholder Information 121 Glossary 123 Corporate Directory 02 About this Report 113 Independent Auditor’s Report Responsibilities The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

We have issued a separate opinion on the remuneration report. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, 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. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the directors of the Responsible Entity for the financial report The directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, including giving a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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 financial report Our objectives are 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 the Australian Auditing Standards 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 the financial report.
