Lendlease Annual Report 2022
About this report
The 2022 Lendlease Annual Report has been prepared with reference
to the International Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework that encourages
businesses to consider what creates value for them and how this value
contributes to long term sustainable returns for securityholders.
Materiality
A matter is considered material if senior
management and those charged with
governance believe it could significantly
impact the value created and delivered
in the short, medium and long term. We
identify and capture material matters in
the following ways:
• Project Control Groups (PCGs), which
include key internal stakeholders and
represent the governance structure
for overseeing the completion of the
Annual Report
• Capturing feedback from key
external stakeholders including
securityholders, analysts and other
relevant groups
• Engagement with the Board
• Confirming the strategy is consistent
and relevant
The outcome of these processes are the
material issues noted on pages 32 and 33
in Managing and Measuring Value and in
Our Business on pages 12 to 17.
Directors’ Report and Operating
and Financial Review (OFR)

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
London Elephant ParkYear in review
5
The past year has seen a significant resetting of the organisation with both our talent and financial capital increasingly directed towards leveraging the Group’s core capabilities. We have simplified our operating structure, reduced our cost base, exited non core businesses, and enhanced our market disclosures. All while continuing to be challenged by ongoing COVID disruption. Importantly, our teams have embraced our new operating model and the greater ownership and accountability it provides.We remained disciplined and true to our strategy, securing and converting projects in global gateway cities. We also established new investment partnerships that are expected to contribute to the acceleration in development activity and grow our funds under management.Year in Review6
Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Chairman’s
Report
As an international real estate group
operating in targeted gateway cities
globally, Lendlease is well positioned to
understand and respond to the changing
nature of cities. Cities have always
evolved, but will remain the engine of
economic, social and cultural life.
Throughout the period our gateway
cities remained resilient despite emerging
geopolitical issues, the lingering
community health and social instability of
the pandemic, and the continuing impacts
of climate change.
Our operations have been impacted by
these challenges, but the organisation
has been able to anticipate, mitigate
and adapt to reset our business for
future growth.
First term as Chairman
Now that I am in my second term
as Chairman, I have reflected on the
progress we have made over the last
three years.
On becoming Chair, my immediate
priority was to lead the Board in a
strategic review of the business, which
resulted in the Engineering and Services
businesses being deemed non core.
Plans were enacted to separate them
from the Group, with both businesses
now divested.
Simultaneously, a comprehensive review
of the Board’s governance practices
identified opportunities to enhance
the effectiveness of Board processes.
Changes were implemented to increase
the focus of the Board on strategy,
reputation, customer and our people.
Two new directors, Robert Welanetz
and Nicholas Collishaw, strengthened
the Board’s experience in real estate
investment and development. Nick, along
with David Craig and Nicola Wakefield
Evans, are seeking re-election at the
2022 Annual General Meeting. The
Board remains committed to appointing
directors with deep experience in our
core sectors and expects to appoint
an additional Non executive Director
in FY23.
Tony Lombardo was appointed Global
Chief Executive Officer in June 2021 and
oversaw executive leadership changes
and the refresh of the Group’s strategy
and organisational structure. The strategy
to leverage our competitive advantage in
the urban renewal of large-scale, mixed-
use projects and to grow the investments
platform remains at the centre of our five
year roadmap. A streamlined operating
structure supports the execution of the
strategy, with increased transparency in
our reporting.
We acknowledge it has been a difficult
period for our securityholders. On behalf
of the Board, I recognise we have more
to do in rebuilding confidence. However,
the decisions we have made in the
last few years have made a difference.
The Group is well on the way to
meeting its medium term investment and
development targets, while maintaining
delivery excellence in construction. I
am confident this will lead to future
cash generation, which should deliver
sustainable growth in securityholder value
over time.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of our people, our
subcontractors and the communities in
which we operate remains our number
one priority. We are deeply saddened by
the fatality of a subcontractor on one of
our construction sites in New York, in an
area under subcontractor management.
Our sincerest condolences are extended
to the family and colleagues of the young
man who lost his life. It is a sombre
reminder of the importance of our focus
on safety for all people who interact
with our places. It is also why Lendlease
goes well beyond industry practice for
reporting fatalities.
Our safety culture, which instils pride
among our employees, is exemplified
by the implementation of innovative
solutions. For example, the improvements
we have made to the perimeter screens
on steel framed buildings has set the
industry standard in reducing the risk
of falls from height for workers and
materials. Further details on health and
safety are provided on page 34 of
this Report.
Financial result
Lendlease reported a Statutory Loss after
Tax of $99m. This comprised a Core
operating profit of $276m, a loss for Non
operating items of $333m and a Non core
loss of $42m. While disappointing, the
outcome reflects the challenging global
operating environment and the decisions
we flagged to the market in August 2021
that we would be taking to reset the
Group for future growth and the refocus
of our digital activities.
Core operating profit of $276m was
down from $377m in the prior year with
lower Development segment earnings,
in part due to a revised approach to
joint venture arrangements, more than
offsetting a strong recovery in the
Investments segment. While the financial
performance was subdued, a recovery
in operating momentum is expected to
result in improved financial performance
over coming years. Full year distributions
of 16 cents per security reflects a payout
ratio of 40 per cent on Core operating
earnings per security.
Our refreshed executive leadership team
has simplified the business, created
a leaner organisation and improved
expected returns as a result of a
reduction in annualised overhead costs
of approximately $170m and redirecting
capital. Restructuring costs associated
with these changes were $342m after
tax and include allowances for employee
redundancies and tenancy exit costs and
development impairments on a small
number of underperforming projects. The
impairment of intangibles relating to our
Digital investments was $55m after tax.
The Non core loss primarily reflects
costs associated with the exit of
the Services business. We have
maintained provisions we consider to be
appropriate to complete our share of
the retained Melbourne Metro project
and for potential warranties associated
with the now exited Engineering and
Services businesses.
The Group entered FY23 in a strong
financial position with a healthy pipeline
of work, cash and cash equivalents
of $1.3b and gearing of 7.3 per
cent. The strength of our balance
sheet positions the Group to increase
development activity and grow the
investments platform.
Sustainability
Businesses must have a clear purpose
aligned to a long term strategy for shared
value creation to achieve sustainable
success. This is reflected in our
purpose statement, creating places where
communities thrive. Living our purpose
means we help to create the best places
for customers and the communities we
serve, inspire our people, preserve our
Year in review
7
culture, and deliver sustainable growth for
our securityholders.
We are proud of our leadership position
on environmental sustainability. Our goal
is not only to eliminate the use of
fossil fuels across our business but also
help transform the real estate sector.
Decarbonisation mandates have been
implemented as we work towards our
Net Zero scope 1 and 2 emissions targets
by 2025. Initiatives include the use of
renewable diesel, the design of all electric
buildings, and the switch to 100 per cent
renewable electricity for operating assets
in Europe. We have also made progress
on scope 3 emissions through various
supply chain partnerships. Further details
on sustainability are provided on page
42 of this Report.
From a social sustainability perspective,
we have created more than $100m of
social value since launching our target
of $250m by 2025 two years ago.
Our ‘shared value’ partnerships focus
on creating measurable social value by
addressing the needs of communities.
These include: our partnership with the
Australian Red Cross in supporting the
delivery of cultural programs, health
and wellbeing initiatives and disaster
preparedness in remote Australian
communities; and Programma 2121 which
offers training and paid internships for
offenders in the Italian prison system. In
addition to our shared value partnerships,
we continued to embed commitments
to First Nations engagement through our
Elevate Reconciliation Action Plan.
the Group has a clear pathway to meet
its financial and operational targets by
FY24. We expect FY23 to be a recovery
year with further operating momentum
and improved financial performance.
Board program
The Board program, in addition to its
regular cadence of meetings this year,
expanded to reflect the broader range
of both operational and strategic issues
which required oversight.
While some engagement activities were
restricted by the pandemic, the Board
was able to assess our Asian operations
in person while other parts of the
program were maintained virtually. This
enabled the Board to engage in
programs in all four operating regions –
including site tours (physical and virtual),
project reviews, interactive employee
roundtables, leadership discussions and
engagement with external stakeholders.
The Board firmly believes these activities,
in addition to our formal meetings,
are critical for corporate governance.
More detail on aspects of the Board’s
engagement is provided on page 72.
The recovery of global gateway cities
is increasingly evident and is reflected
in the operating momentum across the
Group. Our investment partners share
this conviction with a record amount of
development Work in Progress, supported
by our construction delivery capability.
The external environment will remain
challenging, notably geopolitics and
monetary policy settings. The Board
will closely monitor these, including the
potential impacts on our supply chain,
broader inflation and implications for our
products and services.
I would like to thank my Board colleagues
and the entire Lendlease team for their
continued dedication in navigating the
challenges of a global pandemic and the
resetting of the organisation. We are now
well positioned to create long term value
for securityholders.
Looking to the future
Following a year focused on resetting the
organisation and rebuilding momentum,
M J Ullmer, AO
Chairman
8
Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Global Chief Executive
Officer’s Report
My thanks to our securityholders,
customers, partners, people and the
community for your continued support.
During the past year our operating
environment remained challenging.
COVID continued to impact our regions
and geopolitical uncertainty generated
widespread volatility in global markets.
Despite these headwinds, we made
significant progress in resetting our
company for future growth. We entered
the new financial year with a renewed
sense of optimism, reflected in solid
operating momentum across the Group.
Business renewal
Delivering the very best real estate
products and services drives our purpose.
Just as the cities in which we
operate undergo constant renewal, so
must Lendlease.
In 2021, I announced our five-year
roadmap: Reset; Create; Thrive to
enhance the way we operate to deliver
sustained performance.
This year, we implemented the first
phase, Reset. A new streamlined
company structure generated more than
$160m in ongoing cost savings and
the refreshed management team and
simplified operating model has enabled
more nimble decision making and
increased accountability.
Several portfolio divestments supported
the focus on our core business
and strengthened the Group’s balance
sheet. More than $1b of capital was
recycled including the exit of the
Services business, the reduction of our
investment in Retirement Living and the
introduction of a partner into our Military
Housing portfolio.
We also committed to enhancing our
financial and non financial disclosure,
and providing greater visibility on our
contribution to economic, environmental,
and social value creation. All three
are critical to restoring securityholder
confidence and value.
Responding to real estate trends
with a focused business model
The COVID pandemic has had a profound
impact on all facets of life. Following
its onset, we remained steadfast in our
conviction that cities would endure and
continue to be the centrepiece of modern
society for generations to come. The past
couple of years have taught us that the
value of human connection, and a sense
of belonging, is immeasurable.
We move to the Create phase of our
roadmap in better shape to deliver places
and precincts that draw people in while
also addressing urban challenges.
We aim to be an investment led
company that responds to continued
strong institutional investor demand for
real estate. We are scaling up our
investment and asset management teams
to further grow our product offering,
enhance the value of the assets we
manage and provide investors with
recurring income streams.
Our teams will pursue resilient and
sustainable development schemes that
leverage our capabilities in placemaking
and enhance urban connectivity. The
workplace of the future needs to
adapt to both changing employee
expectations and employers needs
for talent retention, collaboration and
fostering corporate culture.
Central city residential markets have
begun to recover strongly with residents
looking for improved amenity and
additional spaces to connect.
In the construction sector, our goal
remains to be a market leader,
maintaining the right capability to support
operational excellence. We will be more
selective by targeting customers whose
values align to ours.
Financial and
operating performance
As foreshadowed at the beginning of this
financial year, addressing legacy issues,
and combating the ongoing impacts
of a global pandemic suppressed our
financial performance. This was reflected
in a substantial statutory loss and a
modest core profit. However, financial
performance rebounded in the second
half, providing momentum into FY23.
The Investments segment performed
above target, underpinned by capital
recycling. Funds under management
grew to $44b and $11b of investment
partnerships were established during the
year. This includes our pivot to acquiring
existing secondary assets on market that
utilise our asset management capabilities.
Development segment returns were
below target due to ongoing COVID
challenges, severe weather impacts
on Communities settlements and our
revised joint venture structuring approach
which means profit recognition should
more closely align earnings with
development milestones and cash
going forward. Projects available to
start total $42b following planning
progress. Commencements exceeded
completions, taking Work in Progress to
a record $18.4b.
Construction segment profit was at
the lower end of the target range.
Ongoing COVID and global supply
chain disruptions, along with challenging
weather events all impacted our
productivity during the year. The
construction workbook remains healthy
at $10.5b.
Refer to the Performance and Outlook on
page 56 for a detailed analysis of our
financial and operating performance.
Our principles drive an ambition to
make a difference
A culture of care
Making sure people arrive home safely
each day continues to be our highest
priority. Tragically, a sub contractor on
one of our projects in New York lost his
life in September 2021. We once again
extend our deepest condolences to the
man’s family, friends and colleagues and
everyone impacted by this event.
We continue to strive to eliminate
incident and injury wherever we
operate using our refreshed Global
Minimum Requirements, or GMRs, as the
cornerstone of our global approach to
health and safety.
We are extending our culture of care
to encompass psychological safety to
further support employees.
Year in review
9
Creating a sustainable future
The world is warming at an unsustainable
rate. Only through collective global action
will we avoid a climate catastrophe. Our
carbon reduction targets are among
the most ambitious for the real estate
sector globally. Industry leadership in
sustainability is becoming increasingly
valued by our customers and reflected
in the rapid increase in demand for
sustainable assets.
We’re now well advanced on our Mission
Zero Roadmaps to eliminate carbon
emissions and we’re creating significant
social value. Our progress against these
targets is highlighted from page 42. In
addition, Green, Social and Sustainability
(GSS) financing now accounts for more
than 60 per cent of our total facilities.
Our people are the heart and soul of
our company
Without doubt, our people are the
driving force of our business and have
been resilient in adapting to how they
perform their work. We have overhauled
our approach to leadership, recognising
culture is set from the top. Greater
emphasis has been placed on career
development, knowledge sharing and
alignment with securityholders’ interests.
The implementation of a range of
new programs, including leadership
development, accelerating diverse talent
and technical training underpin our
investment in people. A commitment
to a diverse and inclusive working
environment reflects our belief that
to thrive as an organisation everyone
needs a place where they feel included
and valued.
Service and partnering ethos
We have a diverse range of customers
– from first homeowners to governments
with a civic refresh agenda – who trust
us to deliver great outcomes for and with
them. It is a privilege to serve and partner
with our customers. To remain focused,
each year we undertake a broad range of
customer listening and insights research
to improve our customer experience
and outcomes.
Outlook
We have entered the new financial year
as a company that is leaner, more agile
in responding to customer needs and less
distracted by our legacy issues. As the
world adapts to COVID, we’re witnessing
a resurgence in city life that underpins
our strategy.
There is now significant operating
momentum across the Group, providing
confidence in the Create phase of our
five year roadmap. While more factors
are within our control going forward,
we will be influenced by the external
environment of higher inflation and
interest rates.
The Group remains on track to meet
our targets of more than $8b in
development completions per annum by
FY24 and funds under management of
$70b by FY26. We will also maintain
delivery capability to support both our
integrated projects and construction
clients. I believe this will create lasting
securityholder returns while delivering on
our commitment of leadership in health,
safety, and sustainability.
Importantly, we have the capacity to
fund our share of this significant growth
potential while maintaining our financial
leverage within target range.
My thanks to our Board, my management
team and the people of Lendlease for
your unwavering commitment.
Finally, to our securityholders I
restate our commitment to restore
securityholder returns.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Vision, purpose
and strategy
We create places where communities thrive.
Our vision for the future of the urban
landscape is tied to our purpose as
an organisation. This purpose centres
on forming vibrant and enduring
communities that contribute to a more
liveable and sustainable future.
We are committed to creating value for all
those who interact with us and to making
a positive contribution, beyond just the
places we create.
The actions we take are driven by an
understanding that every decision we
make has an impact and must be made in
collaboration. Working in partnership with
a myriad of stakeholders, we are helping
to solve some of the biggest challenges
confronting people, cities and the planet.
Strategy
The cornerstone of our strategy is
to create the best urban precincts in
targeted global gateway cities. Our point
of difference is our proven expertise in
placemaking and delivering major urban
projects through our integrated business
model, backed by our financial strength.
Our strategy is underpinned by
an ethos that long term value
creation is maximised by achieving
social, environmental and economic
outcomes. This involves collaborating
with customers, investment partners,
governments and the communities within
which we operate.
A key differentiator from other industry
players is our end-to-end capability
across all aspects of real estate:
from concept and planning to design
and delivery, through to funding and
investment management. This is the
essence of our integrated model.
A proven track record of creating
large scale mixed use urban precincts
has enabled the Group to deepen its
expertise and sophistication to become,
in our view, the partner of choice for
urban regeneration.
Roadmap to success
This year we announced a five year
roadmap: Reset; Create; Thrive, designed
to extract the most from our strategy.
The past year has seen a significant
resetting of the organisation as our
people and our financial capital has been
directed towards leveraging the Group’s
core capabilities, particularly across urban
projects and our investments platform.
We have also simplified our structure,
exited non-core businesses and reduced
our capital in Retirement Living.
Our partnership approach has driven
significant growth in our investments
platform. Future growth will be
underpinned by the investment grade
product we expect to create from the
development pipeline. In addition, we
have the appetite and global capability
to launch new products alongside our
investment partners.
We are targeting invested capital to
increase to $6b in each of the
Investments and Development segments
by FY26.
We enter the Create phase of our
roadmap with confidence in our strategic
direction. The achievement of two
key medium term operational targets;
development completions of more than
$8b per annum from FY24 and funds
under management (FUM) of $70b by
FY26, remain on track.
The size of our development pipeline,
investment in capability to execute at
scale and the resilience of the global
cities in which we have a presence,
provides us with confidence in achieving
our development target.
Investor appetite for the geographically
diverse and sustainable product in our
development pipeline, as well as deep
relationships with global investment
partners, underpin our conviction in
reaching our FUM target.
Our global operating model provides
a framework for implementing best
practice consistently, while empowering
our teams to lead and innovate. To
support our strategic objectives, we are
investing in key capabilities with the
longer term in mind.
Resilience
We understand cities will need to become
more affordable, inclusive and sustainable
with a greater focus on transport links,
security and workplace flexibility. Our
placemaking skills are already adapting
to these challenges and the associated
changes in consumer, corporate and
government behaviour.
Our strategy has been designed to be
resilient. The business model, supported
by land management structures across
most projects, has the agility to ride out
market cycles.
Strategic priorities
• Scale investments
• Accelerate development
• Best practice construction delivery
• Leverage competitive edge
• Leadership in sustainability
‘Place’ is about peoples’ connection to a physical environment and the experiences that trigger both an emotional attachment and a sense of belonging.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
The power of the city
The benefits of urban life, disrupted by COVID, are being restored.
Human interaction drives communities, culture and commerce.
In last year's Annual Report, we
highlighted the importance of cities.
The past year has only reaffirmed our
conviction. The value to society of
‘in person’ interaction underpins the
dominant role that cities play in the
global economy. This should come as
no surprise given the thousands of
years of evolution that rewarded human
connection and collaboration.
The pre-eminence of cities has not
been undermined by successive waves
of technology. In fact, technological
change has enhanced knowledge that
is best dispersed through close and
personal interaction.
History is marked with significant periodic
plagues and pandemics, of which COVID
is the most recent. Despite these
and other challenges, including natural
disasters and economic cycles, cities
continue to rebound.
Benefits of agglomeration
The benefits of agglomeration remain as
compelling today as they have ever been.
The extensive social infrastructure and
amenity that cities offer make them
people magnets. Population density
provides the scale to support the best
educational institutions and healthcare
facilities as well as cultural attractions
and mass transit. The strong desire for
social interaction and experience spurs
vibrancy across the retail, tourism and
hospitality sectors.
Our gateway cities strategy is founded on
the premise that the most desirable cities
will continue to be the driving force of
economic, social and cultural life.
Resilient cities adapt
COVID, declared a pandemic in
early March 2020, has been the
greatest global threat this century. The
ensuing lockdowns and isolation threw
the primary purpose of cities, that
is interaction and collaboration, into
disarray. This had significant ramifications
for the way societies live, work and play.
Top: Sydney: Artist's impression, Victoria
Cross over station development.
Opposite: Boston: Clippership Wharf.
Nearly three years since the onset of the
pandemic, cities are springing back to life.
There is mounting evidence of a return
to normality, or what may be described
as the new normal, given an acceleration
in some societal trends that were already
well underway.
How we live: Central city residential
markets witnessed the fastest recovery
of all sectors in terms of occupancy and
rents. Approximately one per cent of
residential properties are vacant across
New York City, a record low. There are
similar trends in inner parts of London
with asking rents up 25 per cent from
their low point. Inner city vacancy rates
across the East Coast cities of Australia
are at or below pre-COVID levels.
How we play: The rebound in leisure and
hospitality has been strong. Visitations
across retail centres in our global
gateway cities are trending towards
2019 levels and restaurant reservations
are approximately 10 per cent above
pre-COVID levels. Cultural and sporting
events have returned with theatres
playing to full houses and major sports
taking place in front of capacity crowds.
The recovery underway in international
tourism is expected to further benefit
gateway cities.
How we work: The return to office
lags most other aspects of global
cities’ recovery from COVID. While
mobility data is much improved, it
remains markedly lower than prior to the
pandemic. CBD workplace attendance is
10-30 per cent below pre-COVID levels
across our gateway cities. We expect a
gradual recovery to continue. For insight
into shaping workplaces of the future,
refer to page 25.
88%
of the population in
high income countries is
expected to be residing in
urban areas by 20501.

A recent Committee of Sydney
study2 indicated that station precinct
development could provide almost half
of the new dwellings required to meet
Sydney's expected population growth
over the next two decades.
It is these types of opportunities across
our targeted gateway cities that play
to our strengths. Collaboration among
government, the private sector and
local communities is a must to achieve
desired outcomes.
Our global reach, placemaking
capabilities, integrated business model
and partnering approach all combine to
provide a unique skill set.
An eye to the future
As an integrated real estate group with
projects that often span several property
cycles, we take a long term view. In
2009 we committed that Barangaroo
South would be a carbon neutral precinct.
That vision was realised in 2020, with
Barangaroo South recognised as the first
carbon neutral precinct in Australia.
A recent Oxford University-Protiviti1
survey revealed that business leaders
share a very positive view on the
increasing importance of cities given their
concentrated pools of labour, skills, new
talent and knowledge. Almost two thirds
believe that by 2030 the role of cities will
be more important for their businesses,
compared with just six per cent who
believe they will be less important.
The survey results indicate that first
tier, larger and specialised urban
economies will benefit most and will
increase in importance for business
operations. This aligns with our strategy
to have a presence in gateway cities
that demonstrate the most favourable
prospects for long term outperformance.
The upside of urban renewal
A holistic approach to urban renewal is
critical for cities to adapt and become
more productive, liveable, affordable and
sustainable. Higher urban density is linked
to improved:
• Economic performance through
higher wages, more innovation and
lower costs of public service provision
• Wellbeing via social connection, as
evidenced by growing mental health
challenges experienced through the
pandemic isolation
• Environmental outcomes via lower
pollution and energy consumption.
Transport infrastructure typically
determines the urban form of cities and
shapes their evolution – think of the two
hubs of New York City with Downtown
evolving around the port and Midtown
shaped by the rail terminals.
Sydney is currently in the throes of a rail
infrastructure boom with the network set
to grow to 338 stations. This provides
for a more rapid evolution of the urban
environment to create a more liveable,
productive and sustainable city.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Growing our
investments platform
Our long term strategy is to significantly grow our investments portfolio
and over time, we expect more than half of Lendlease's invested capital
will be allocated to the Investments segment.
A Lendlease fund has
been the world's most
sustainable office fund
for seven of the last
eight years.
For decades we have
been trusted with
managing funds and
assets for some of
the world's largest real
estate investors.
We formed a $1b partnership to
develop state-of-the-art labs, offices and
manufacturing spaces in high growth
life science clusters across the US.
We also launched a $1b innovation
fund which focuses on properties linked
to both innovation and life sciences
such as laboratories, medical science
facilities and manufacturing spaces. We
believe there is significant opportunity for
FUM growth in this sector across our
target cities.
We also have the appetite and capability
to launch new products underpinned
by our end-to-end capability, and both
on and off market growth opportunities
alongside investment partners. A recent
example is the launch of Real Estate
Partners 4, a value-add fund.
We are targeting funds under
management (FUM) of greater than $70b
by FY26, up from $44b. This is expected
to require approximately $6b of invested
capital, and entails investing alongside
partners in our existing funds, in addition
to the launch of new investment products.
A strong foundation
Our investments platform provides
a strong foundation to build global
scale. We have decades of experience
managing real estate assets with trusted
fiduciary and governance structures, and
our expertise spans multiple sectors in
both the listed and unlisted markets. We
currently manage 38 funds and mandates.
In addition to the high quality
and sustainable product created from
our development pipeline, we have
expertise in generating value through
asset management.
Top: Sydney: International House
(Sustainable office)
Building a scale platform
Our development pipeline is anticipated
to provide approximately two thirds of
the growth towards our FUM target.
This includes:
• Sustainable office: we have a strong
track record of creating some of
the most sustainable Premium and A
grade office buildings and manage
more than $23b in FUM.
• Apartments for rent: we have
completed residential for rent product
in the US and UK and now have
almost $3b in FUM.
• Life sciences: global healthcare
is rapidly innovating to meet
changing needs. We are pivoting
from a construction led capability
to fully utilising our integrated
model, targeting life sciences
projects globally.
• Data centres: we have started our
first data centre in Tokyo which is
100 per cent let and due to complete
in FY25.
Renewal
23
Strong demand for global
real estate
The top 100 global investors control
approximately $1.5t in real estate assets.
We have relationships with a large
number of them.
We expect capital flows to remain strong,
with real estate allocations controlled by
the world’s largest investors likely to rise.
They are looking for managers with the
ability to generate long term value.
We offer investment partners high
quality investment portfolios and access
to our significant global development
pipeline. Our focus on safety and
creating innovative and sustainable
product is also a key differentiator.
Our deep relationships strengthen our
capacity to tailor new products to meet
their appetite.
There is a significant opportunity to
attract US and European investors, which
are currently underrepresented across
our platform.
Sustainability credentials
a differentiator
In the most recent Global Real
Estate Sustainability Benchmark (2021)
our Barangaroo office fund, Lendlease
International Towers Sydney Trust, was
the #1 ranked fund globally out of 1,520
funds. We also had four funds ranked in
the global top ten.
Optimising our portfolio
Our investment portfolio is currently
valued at $3.5b and includes our
co-investment positions in Lendlease’s
managed funds and our equity interests
in our Retirement Living and Military
Housing businesses.
We continually assess optimisation
and redeployment opportunities,
demonstrated this year by two
key initiatives.

Innovation Partnership.
Key initiatives
Redeploying capital –
Retirement Living
We reduced our investment in the
Retirement Living Trust from 50 per
cent to 25.1 per cent. The sale for
approximately $500m, to an existing
investment partner, allows us to
redeploy this capital.
Crystallising value –
Military Housing
For more than 20 years, we’ve
been providing asset management
services to military housing and
lodging communities across the US.
Through an existing relationship,
an equity partner acquired a 28
per cent interest in the asset
management income stream on a
multiple of approximately 26 times
net profit after tax.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Development, at scale
We are on track to achieve our more than $8b completion target from
FY24, almost double our historical average.
Our confidence is supported by:
• $117b development pipeline
• Planning milestones well progressed
• Capability to deliver at scale
• Market depth to absorb product
• Investment partners and capability to
support funding
$117b pipeline underpins target
The origins of achieving development
at scale emanated a little more than a
decade ago with a very focused strategy
of expanding our integrated business
model to targeted international gateway
cities. Since formulating this strategy, our
urban pipeline has grown almost tenfold,
from $11b in June 2009 to more than
$100b in June 2022. Our Communities
pipeline in Australia, which is broadly
stable over the same period, currently
stands at $15.4b.
Gateway cities often have large sites
ripe for regeneration and infill sites that
stitch well-considered density into the
city fabric. Large multi-stage sites that
provide the opportunity to craft mixed
use precincts is where the breadth of our
skills are applied to greatest effect.
Our partnership approach with a
demonstrated value proposition has
been recognised by being awarded and
completing many extraordinary projects.
A global platform with locally based
real estate expertise has few direct
competitors and is difficult to replicate.
Our current portfolio of 21 major urban
projects spans nine gateway cities.
Placemaking a key differentiator
Through the places we design, build and
curate, we aim to create destinations
where people want to be. Improved
liveability, environmental sustainability,
inclusion, affordability, connectedness,
wellbeing and a sense of community are
important elements we incorporate to
create 'place'.
Placemaking presents a unique
opportunity to generate lasting and
positive value for a city and its
communities through the way people
connect, learn and live. Great places
are the product of both physical
and experiential attributes which are
shaped, delivered and maintained through
ongoing curation.
Our completed projects, along with the
current pipeline, provide a suite of proof
points of our placemaking credentials and
our contribution to urban renewal:

Converting the pipeline
Converting the already secured pipeline
is key to achieving our annual
completion target. We’ll continue to
pursue opportunities with an emphasis
on replenishing our pipeline in Asian and
Australian cities.
Our pipeline is categorised by three
phases: In conversion; Masterplanned;
and Work in Progress. These phases
provide an indication of the likely timing
of project commencements given the
timeline required to take a project from
origination through to completion.
In Conversion
Approximately half of the pipeline,
or $57b, is 'In Conversion'. That is,
it has been secured but is yet to
receive masterplanning approval from the
relevant authorities. As a result, it is not
in the potential pool for commencement.
The timeframe to achieve masterplanning
is typically two to three years from the
date the project was secured. On smaller
projects, the conversion period may be
far shorter.
Masterplanned
Approximately $42b of the pipeline has
masterplan approvals. The focus for this
stage is: obtaining individual building
consents; launching products to secure
income via pre-sales and pre-leasing; and
working with our partners on investment
opportunities that fit their mandates.
Work in Progress
The pipeline moves into 'Work in
Progress' once delivery of an asset
commences. We currently have $18b of
Work in Progress which puts us on track
to meet our more than $8b completion
target in FY24. Maintaining this level of
completions is likely to require Work in
Progress of more than $20b.
Resilient product and places
Gateway cities are our future, and
our portfolio of projects has improved
resilience and liveability in mind. We
believe well located and high quality
product within amenity rich environments
will endure. While most of the
development pipeline is comprised of
mixed use precincts, the key product
categories are:
• Apartments for sale c.$38b:
affordable to luxury
• Apartments for rent c.$28b: offering
customers the opportunity to live
where they want and rent like
they own
• Commercial c.$35b: CBD offices,
transport hubs, innovation districts,
life sciences and data centres
• Communities c.$16b: key population
growth corridors in Australia
The evolving workplace
The most significant COVID induced
change across our real estate platform
has been the evolution of the workplace.
The working experience since the start
of 2020 has demonstrated the capability,
and in many cases, preference to partly
work from home.
The employee value proposition,
heightened by a tight labour market, is
becoming more important for employers
to attract and retain the best talent.
Employees increasingly prioritise a
workplace that is well connected, human-
centric, socially aware, environmentally
proactive, and amenity rich with a focus
on health and wellbeing.
We believe that highly sustainable
and digitally enabled workplaces in
well connected locations, will remain
in demand. Our focus is to create
workplaces that facilitate relationships,
collaboration and enhance organisational
culture. Occupiers and investors are likely
to pay a premium for this product.
Funding the pipeline
We aim to work our capital harder
as development activity accelerates
towards, and beyond, our target of more
than $8b of annual completions. More
investment partnerships are planned,
facilitating greater capital efficiency to
fund our share of the incremental Work
in Progress.
The proportions of recent
commencements funded by investment
partners are:
• 1 Java Street, New York: 80%
• Data Centre, Tokyo: 80%
• 60 Guest Street, Boston: 75%
• Certis Cisco Centre, Singapore: 51%
Our expectation is that approximately
$6b of invested capital is required
to consistently fund our share of
completions, compared with a current
invested capital balance of $5.4b.
These investment partner funding
strategies complement an already capital
efficient business model. Approximately
90 per cent of our development pipeline
has been secured on capital efficient
terms. It protects downside risks for both
ourselves and our investment partners,
while providing the flexibility to adjust
production as market conditions vary.
This unique feature of our development
platform enables $2.8b of capital in land
and infrastructure to control our $117b
development pipeline.

Leading project management,
design and construction capability
We combine the benefits of our
global scale and the rich heritage of
corporate knowledge with a localised
capability and network to deliver high
quality projects. Specialist design and
project management teams combine
deep sector knowledge with strong
customer relationships to create places
that are innovative, sustainable, and
commercially successful.
We have delivered construction projects
around the world for more than six
decades, creating hundreds of buildings
and precincts. Our construction capability
is showcased in workplaces for some of
the world’s largest organisations, vibrant
retail centres and residential apartments
including affordable housing options,
state-of-the-art hospitals and other
buildings of civic and social importance.
More than just building delivery
For us, it is more than just the
construction of buildings. We are
recognised for creating innovative places
that stand the test of time and we have
been entrusted to create and restore
iconic buildings that shape city skylines.
Our focus is client satisfaction. A
significant proportion of repeat business
is testament to being a trusted and
strategic partner. We believe our
approach to securing, creating and
delivering projects to exceed client and
investor expectations is key.
Construction has played a lead role in the
origination of some integrated projects.
This includes the Darling Harbour precinct
where the project commenced as a
Public Private Partnership. Confidence in
delivery capability and certainty is often
the key to securing such projects.
Demonstrating delivery certainty at
Sydney Place
The progress on Salesforce Tower,
the centrepiece of the Sydney Place
project, highlights our superior delivery
expertise and the certainty we provide to
investment partners.
Our team has navigated a difficult
operating environment including COVID
and weather disruptions.
Innovative design and construction
solutions have enhanced value and
mitigated risk. The project team used a
number of market leading construction
methodologies, including the use of
a steel structure as well as modular
components and pre-fabrication to
minimise site works, improve safety,
reduce waste and enhance the harbour
views from this premium workplace.
The Construction segment provides the
delivery capability for our integrated
model as well as design, project
management and construction services to
our customers. This combination enables
us to attract the best talent while
providing the scale and depth of expertise
to maintain industry best practice.
Our strategy is to provide delivery
excellence for the integrated model
and hold a leadership position in
target sectors.
A key component of the
integrated model
Our project management skills permeate
through our end-to-end real estate
offering and are the enabler for the
delivery of our urban projects.
We expect the future of urbanisation
will be increasingly tied to precincts and
districts. Our experience strengthens our
credentials as a partner of choice.
Large integrated projects such as
Barangaroo South and Darling Harbour
in Sydney and Paya Lebar Quarter in
Singapore stand as testament to our
delivery capability.
Looking forward, we’ll apply this
capability to our pipeline of projects
including Euston Station in London and
our San Francisco Bay Area project.

Opening the door to
business opportunities
Not only has the Construction segment
contributed to the origination of
integrated projects, it has also introduced
new business opportunities to the Group.
Almost two decades ago, when the US
Department of Defense was privatising
its military housing portfolio, our US
construction business, through its delivery
capability, facilitated our entry into the
housing privatisation program.
Similarly, our construction business in
Asia has a strong history delivering data
centres and life sciences buildings. This
provided the entry point for expanding
the integrated model into these two
growing real estate sectors.
Rigorous risk management
Our risk management processes have
evolved from decades of experience.
It starts with disciplined origination
that incorporates thorough market
assessments and aligns our value
proposition with potential opportunities.
Diversity by client, contract type
and sector forms part of this
origination strategy.
Substantial de-risking takes place prior
to commencement of construction.
Formulating detailed project briefs, which
is our key project management skill,
involves selecting a team with the optimal
skill set for the project. Depending on
contract type, we then go into product
design and cost planning.
The delivery phase is about construction
management, production and program
controls, functional reviews and reporting.
Post construction, we apply a rigorous
commissioning process for a smooth
transition to the client.
We remain disciplined with our approach
to winning work and strive to maintain
an industry leading approach to
risk management.
Our construction
capability plays a critical
role in the delivery of our
urban projects.
Partnership approach with
supply chain
Working collaboratively with our partners
is essential to mitigating supply chain
risk and achieving our sustainability
targets. The significant disruption caused
by COVID and geopolitical uncertainty
has emphasised the importance of the
supply chain in the successful delivery of
our projects.
We have implemented a range of
initiatives to counteract supply chain
disruption. By working directly with
global steel manufacturers, the material
experiencing the greatest price pressure,
we have improved certainty and cost
of supply. Global agreements have been
advanced with a number of strategic
partners for glass and aluminium. In
addition, we reduced the risk of
disruption through a relationship with a
large global logistics providers.
Key focus areas include:
• Knowing our suppliers and their
suppliers in order to proactively
manage risk
• Developing broader and more
advanced strategies for key high risk
trades and critical supplies
• Establishing the right trading
partnerships to introduce low
embodied carbon materials
• Building a more connected
supply chain via the use of
digital technologies.

Climate resilient
Cities built around water are particularly
vulnerable to the impacts of climate
change. The project team undertook a
climate related risk assessment to address
the project’s resilience to such impacts.
The findings were incorporated into the
design, including raising the building to
account for future potential flood risk.
Strong social value
1 Java Street will incorporate a diverse
range of apartment styles to appeal
to a variety of residents. This includes
addressing the challenge of affordability,
with approximately 30 per cent of the
units allocated to affordable housing.
Forming partnerships with local not-for-

a land parcel located on the East River
at Greenpoint in Brooklyn, New York to
create a new residential community.
Our conviction in our gateway cities

pandemic induced uncertainty to pursue
the opportunity.
Drawing on our integrated capability,
strong track record and intimate local

We have achieved exceptional outcomes

Our Critical Incident Frequency Rate
(CIFR), Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate
(LTIFR) and percentage of operations
without a critical incident are at their best
ever rates of performance.
Notwithstanding these positive outcomes,
it is with much sadness we report a fatal
incident at one of our operations.

fatally injured following a fall from height
while performing works on the site. Our

Safety culture
We undertook an organisation-wide
survey which assessed employee
perspectives regarding our safety culture.
This enabled comparison with the original
safety culture survey conducted in FY19.
The survey results reinforced the
outstanding safety culture evident across
the organisation. Several key safety and
culture climate statements elicited high
employee agreement rates including key
statements about safety culture above 85
per cent.
Our employees demonstrate great pride
in our approach and prioritisation
of safety across everything we do.
The survey results identified areas for
continuous improvement. This included
support for greater investment in supply
chain capability, and further focus on
psychological safety, in step with our
approach to physical safety.

Safety innovations
Our people identified priorities to help
improve knowledge management, reduce
administrative burden and make use
of technology to support effective
safety management.
S@l Bot
Our S@l chat bot provides our people
with access to safety requirements
and learning materials using artificial
intelligence through a query and response
system that makes it easier to source a
vast knowledge library. The S@l Bot can
be accessed from remote locations via
mobile devices. In its first 12 months more
than 12,000 queries flowed through.
Permit to Work
Leveraging our existing Environment,
Health and Safety (EHS) reporting
platform, we have successfully piloted
and implemented a digital Permit to
Work application.
The introduction of this digital approach
has reduced administrative burden
and improved visibility into the
requirements and status for many of
the high risk activities undertaken across
our operations.
External Learning Platform
To support the capability requirements
of our external partners to deliver
work safely, we launched the Lendlease
Partner Portal. The portal is designed
to address the learning and knowledge
management requirements of our supply
chain partners.
The platform provides non Lendlease
employees access via their mobile
device to Lendlease Global Minimum
Requirements (GMRs) and our EHS
expectations. The platform also supports
the implementation of other digital tools
such as the Permit to Work module.
Excellence in innovation
Our goal is to keep people safe, and we
do this by challenging how we work and
continuously looking at ways to improve.
Senior Project Engineer, David White, is
doing just that through the innovative
application of full perimeter screens (over
seven floors on a steel frame commercial
building) safety solution.
David created the solution for the safe
and efficient delivery of Salesforce Tower
at Sydney Place, a 55 storey premium
grade office tower featuring a unique
hybrid structure of concrete and steel.
Applying existing perimeter protection
screen applications would not have met
Lendlease’s GMRs, or the construction
program, so David created a new
system engaging Lendlease’s high rise
building experts around the world, as
well as numerous suppliers. The solution
demonstrated our capability to provide
perimeter screens, common in concrete
frame building construction, to a steel
frame building.
The simplicity of David’s design has
enabled a reduction in the risks of
people or materials falling. It has
reduced trip hazards and significantly
reduced manual handling of components
during installation.
The solution is a market leading
improvement with flow on benefits for
all Lendlease hybrid structure projects
around the world. The screen supplier has
also made it available to the wider market.

Financial
The Portfolio Management Framework provides structure and financial
discipline across the operating segments of Investments, Development
and Construction.
Financial strategy
The Portfolio Management Framework
(the Framework) is the core of
our financial strategy, setting target
guidelines designed to:
• Maximise long term securityholder
value through a diversified, risk
adjusted portfolio
our funding and enter into facilities in the
regions in which we operate, providing
us with a natural hedge and access to
finance in these regions.
Accessing green and sustainability linked
borrowings has allowed us to facilitate the
following outcomes:
• Lengthen the maturity profile
• Leverage the competitive advantage
• Diversify funding

This year, the Group announced a
five year plan to deliver long term
sustainable performance.
The initial cost of implementing this
plan included a restructuring charge and
a development impairment. For more
detailed information, refer to Performance
and Outlook on page 56.
Sustainable financing
Lendlease is one of the leaders in
sustainable financing in Australia. Of the
Group’s total facilities, 60 per cent, or
$3.1b are green or sustainability linked.
This includes four sustainability linked
loans and three green bonds to help
realise our global pipeline of sustainable
projects. This highlights a continuing shift
in our funding of the thriving places
we create.
These financings have allowed us to
extend the weighted average maturity of
• Improve lender engagement
• Provide good access to markets whilst
achieving competitive funding costs.
Measuring financial performance
When measuring financial performance,
we focus on Return on Equity and
Earnings per Security on our core
operations to measure the returns we
generate for securityholders.
The Framework outlines target returns at
a segment level. These returns, combined
with an allowance for corporate costs,
interest expense and tax, are used
to derive a Group Core Operating
Return on Equity target within the
8-11 per cent range. Core Operating
Earnings per Security forms the basis
for securityholder distributions within the
payout ratio of 40-60 per cent.
The elements of the Framework are based
on the Group’s measure of Core operating
profit with both the target EBITDA mix
and the target distribution payout ratio
assessed accordingly.

Our Customers
From the housing needs of US service personnel to people working in
more sustainable office buildings in Singapore; shoppers in Australia to
investment partners around the world. Our customers are as diverse as
our business operations globally.
In the past 12 months, we had more
than 163 million interactions with our
customers across Australia, Asia, Europe
and the Americas. To track our customer
performance, we annually measure
customer satisfaction (CSAT) as well
as the willingness of our customers to
advocate on our behalf (NPS). This is
conducted across all our lines of business
and regions. In aggregate, our CSAT
score lifted slightly while NPS increased
by more than 25 per cent.
Consumer
This subset of our customers, which
includes residents and visitors to our retail
centres, is by far our largest. To further
enhance the level of service we provide
to this important group, a range of
programs and initiatives were advanced
during the past year including:
Continued investment to support US
military families
We have more than $1.5b of
development work underway in our
military housing portfolio. More than
120,000 service members and families
call our communities home across
approximately 40,000 dwellings.
Our privatised Army lodging portfolio,
comprising more than 12,000 hotel
rooms, has invested more than $1b in
renovation work and new construction,
to date.
This year, 100 Lendlease military housing
neighbourhoods across the US were
recognised as SatisFacts Community
Award winners for their high resident
satisfaction scores.

Government
Around the world, we’re a partner
of choice for governments. From
state-of-the-art medical facilities,
cultural institutions, transport-oriented
developments, sports stadia or
installations key to national security,
we work shoulder-to-shoulder with our
government partners to deliver some of
their most important projects.
As the world continues its shift to a
new COVID normal, we’re supporting
administrations as they ramp up
investment to stimulate economies.
At Victoria Cross Over Station
Development, Sydney; Euston Station,
London; and Smithfield, Birmingham, we
continue to support the development
of mixed use integrated station
developments. This elevates these sites
from train stations to hubs for living,
dining and enjoyment.
Our ever-growing global expertise
in life sciences and health has
seen significant contracts secured for
Australian projects including the Liverpool
Health and Academic Precinct, Frankston
Hospital and Adelaide Women and
Children's Hospital.
In addition to our work across the
US Military Housing Portfolio, we also
continue to play a role in supporting
Australia’s national security, through
support to the Department of Defence at
sites across the country.
At Garden Island in Sydney, we
completed four years of work, which
included a significant joint venture with

Our People
Our people bring Lendlease, our purpose and our culture to life.
Creating places where communities thrive.
Leadership
To deliver our business strategy we need
to continue to attract, develop, retain and
invest in people.
With the internal appointment of a
new CEO, we have reset our executive
leadership team. Our bench strength
enabled us to do this by reaching into our
succession pools with 57 per cent filled
by internal talent. We are now focusing on
replenishing these talent pools. This will
be driven by a combination of targeted,
bespoke development of top talent and
the relaunch of our global flagship
leadership programs in partnership with
INSEAD. Many of our marquee training
programs were paused during COVID
and are being reinstated in response to
feedback from our people.
We continue to increase the
representation of positions filled by
women among our leadership cohort,
with women now filling 31.8 per cent of
leadership positions.

Careers
We have mapped the career paths of
existing employees and, coupled with
development actions, have created career
paths for future employees to emulate.
Retention of key talent remains
challenging in the current operating
environment. While we achieved a
retention rate of 87 per cent, this was
below our target of 90 per cent or
higher. We have identified talent retention
as a key risk given the market remains
extremely competitive.
Early career talent is a critical component
of our talent pipeline. We refreshed
the learning component of our global
graduate program to keep it appealing,
contemporary and focused on capabilities
to support the delivery of our strategy.
The refresh has been well received,
with a 19 per cent increase in
program participants reporting a positive
experience over the six month period. Our
globally consistent program builds early
career talent across each region,
enhances future career mobility and
provides future capability throughout
the enterprise.
Lendlease has been
certified as a Global
Healthy Workplace.1
Our refreshed people strategy continues
to bring our purpose-led business
strategy and culture to life.
We are reinvesting in learning and
careers, especially for our talent in
the Investments, Development and
Construction segments as well as our
leaders. We have also updated our Short
Term Incentive (STI) approach to further
align outcomes with performance.
We remain committed to growing
and retaining our diverse talent and
developing inclusive leaders while
creating a caring and trusting culture
where people feel valued, belong and
have an opportunity to thrive.
Our refreshed focus areas are:
• Learning
• Careers
• Leadership
• Culture
The principles we will never compromise
on continue to be:
• A physically safe workplace
• A psychologically safe workplace
• Prioritising the wellbeing of our
people and their families.

Learning
Our people make all the difference. To
support them, we are developing new
global leadership programs in partnership
with INSEAD. These programs are
focused on building modern and inclusive
leaders at all levels of the organisation,
across all regions.
We have developed and launched global
programs to drive sponsorship of diverse
talent by senior leaders while removing
barriers to accelerate under-represented
talent. Our Ignite program which focusses
on female talent launched in February
2022 with 56 participants. We have
engaged Korn Ferry and together, co-
designed Mosaic, a Racial Equity and
Sponsorship program. A cohort of 72
will be invited to participate in the
2022 program. These programs enhance
and align to regional initiatives to drive
representation and inclusion throughout
our organisation.
Culture
We continue to be proud of our culture
and our values.
They drive the way we interact that
creates a sense of belonging and
an environment for our people to thrive
as part of a team; grow with the
organisation; and to deliver for our
customers and communities.
People want to work on our projects
because of their impact on communities
and our culture of care. This is reinforced
by our Foundation work and initiatives
that continue to offer leading wellbeing
programs to our people and their families.
We continue to invest in listening to
our employees, formally through our
employee engagement survey as well
as informally.

aligned target and we are making
important inroads into tackling our scope
3 emissions.
Our progress is underpinned by the
implementation of global decarbonisation
mandates which set out carbon reduction
expectations across our Investments,
Development and Construction segments
over the next five years. The sale of
our Engineering and Services businesses
and the ongoing disruptions from COVID
have also impacted our emissions. For

Key actions
Operationalising our targets
Expanding on our 5-step decarbonisation
pathway, we launched Regional
Mission Zero Roadmaps, embedding
decarbonisation into our business
strategy for each operating segment.
Developed through extensive
engagement with our senior leaders, the
roadmaps outline initiatives to reduce
scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions in line
with our targets. Each roadmap has been
tailored to account for regional variances
in availability of alternative fuel options,
renewable energy markets, technology
solutions, supply chain maturity and
government policies.
Carbon offset guidance and procurement
We updated our global Carbon Offset
Guidance and Criteria in response to
price volatility and supply issues in
the voluntary carbon offset market. We
are now developing a Carbon Offset
Procurement Strategy to support our Net
Zero by 2025 target.
Renewable electricity procurement
We also developed global Renewable
Electricity Guidance in response to the
varied frameworks, purchasing options
and recognised certification schemes
across our regions of operation. This
will help us maintain the highest level
of quality and transparency associated
with the purchase of renewable electricity
as we target 100 per cent renewable
electricity use by 2030.
Measurement and reporting for scope 3
We commenced the drafting of our
House View and Position Statement on
scope 3 emissions to clearly define
our reporting boundaries and planned
approach for measurement, tracking
and reporting.
Expanded disclosure and
ongoing engagement
In November 2021 we delivered our third
annual Sustainability Investor Briefing and
released our inaugural ESG Databook. We
are working to evolve the ESG Databook
to help improve the accessibility of our
ESG data set.
We have been actively monitoring
the evolution of ESG reporting
standards, including participating in
industry submissions on the International
Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB)
exposure draft standards. The
establishment of ISSB is expected to
lead to globally consistent ESG disclosure
standards and we will look to align our
reporting to these standards.
We also launched Mission Zero Ready, a
global carbon literacy e-learning module
to help our people understand the
importance of our Mission Zero journey.
Building collaboration and alignment
To generate momentum for decarbonising
the real estate sector, we participated
in industry working groups, joined cross-
sector initiatives and shared thought-
leadership. Some examples include:
• Participated at several events at
COP26 in Glasgow.
• Established a strategic partnership
with Stora Enso, one of the
world’s leading suppliers of
sustainable timber.
• Joined Built by Nature and continued
to be active participants in MECLA
and the SteelZero initiative.
• Partnered with the Green Building
Council of Australia to recognise
leadership in the transition to fossil
fuel free construction sites with a new
challenge initiative.
Mission Zero Roadmap Progress
We are making progress on our Mission
Zero Roadmap initiatives to reduce scope
1, 2 and 3 emissions.
We are working towards our goal of
zero fossil fuels in construction activities
by using alternative fuels, increasing the
use of electric construction plant and
equipment and trialling battery storage
and charging infrastructure.
Proof point:
• Implemented an Alternative Fuels
Policy to help reduce fossil fuels
usage from our UK construction sites.
At the end of Q3, renewable diesel
accounted for 98 per cent of fuels
used in the UK, including sustainably
sourced low carbon alternatives such
as hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
We are increasing the number of new
all-electric developments and have begun
the process of identifying legacy gas
infrastructure to guide future capex
aligned electrification upgrades for
assets under management. This includes
reducing fossil fuels used in asset
maintenance and operation.
Proof point:
• New all-electric projects include 1
Java Street, New York, La Cienega,
Los Angeles, and all new homes at the
Fort Hood residential community.

SCOPE 1Fuels we burn44
Lendlease Annual Report 2022
We continue to focus on improving
operational energy efficiency while
increasing the generation and purchase of
renewable electricity. We are also trialling
battery storage technologies.
Proof points:
• Achieved Energy Star (ES)
certification at The Cooper,
Chicago, the first in our plan
to target ES ratings across the
multifamily portfolio.
• Switched to 100 per cent renewable
electricity, with guarantees of origin,
across our European operations.
We continue to collaborate with our
suppliers to progressively source and
procure low embodied carbon materials
and our supply chain team is establishing
a cohort of Mission Zero aligned
supplier partnerships.
Some examples of key initiatives across
our operations have been included below.
Steel
We are working closely with steel
producers to identify and procure low
carbon steel alternatives.
• At Claremont Hall, New York, we
procured steel rebar with 97 per
cent post-consumer recycled content,
resulting in an estimated 27 per cent1
reduction in embodied carbon.
• At Park & Sayer, Elephant Park,
London, the façade being installed
includes 75 per cent recycled
aluminium. The use of renewable
energy saved approximately 2,100
tCO2e compared with primary
aluminium manufactured using
fossil fuels.
Timber
As we look to a low and zero carbon
future, we continue to explore the
application of alternative materials such
as mass engineered timber.
• Achieved a BREEAM Outstanding
rating on The Pavilion at International
Quarter London (IQL). The building’s
timber superstructure delivered a
56 per cent reduction in embodied
carbon compared with an efficient
concrete alternative, surpassing
industry best practice3.
Concrete
We have developed a tender evaluation
tool to assess embodied carbon in
proposed concrete mixes. We are
specifying lower carbon concrete and
trialling emerging technologies.
Green Leasing
To reduce downstream scope 3
emissions, we continue to engage with
tenants and residents on the purchase
of renewable electricity and energy
efficiency initiatives.
• Targeting an average 40 per cent
• Enhanced our UK commercial green
Portland cement replacement across
all three residential towers at One

reduce overall embodied carbon
emissions by up to 10 per cent2.
leases to require all new office tenants
to procure 100 per cent renewable
electricity. Office tenants at IQL in
Stratford should be the first to use the
updated lease.
Aluminium and glass
We have developed an embodied carbon
tool in our façade designs. We are
collaborating with suppliers to reduce
the embodied carbon of materials by
increasing the amount of recycled
content in the aluminium and glass
we buy.

Decarbonisation challenges
and insights
To achieve Absolute Zero Carbon
by 2040 we will be reliant on
sector transformation at scale and
pace, however, we recognise there
are challenges ahead and that key to
finding solutions is sharing insights we
have gained.
Fossil Fuel Free Construction
We collaborated with the University
of Queensland to research the range
of technologies that could drive the
transition to fossil fuel free and ultimately
zero emission construction sites.
The research findings showed that
although electrification of construction
equipment and machinery is underway,
the pace will need to accelerate to
achieve zero emissions construction by
2040. Hence, we will continue to
shift our business towards the use of
renewable diesel and alternative fuels
where viable, while also advocating
for acceleration in the electrification of
construction equipment.
Existing gas infrastructure
The major urban regeneration schemes
in the UK provide an insight into some
of the challenges in eliminating fossil
fuels from development projects and
assets. Connecting to the local energy
infrastructure network is mandated for
several of these projects, some of which
rely on the combustion of gas. We are
working with local authorities and energy
providers in developing and executing
their decarbonisation strategies for these
networks which align with our Absolute
Zero Carbon target.

Environmental performance1
Our environmental performance data disclosure is in line with our
financial reporting program and provides 12 months of data to
30 June 2022, which includes actual data for Q1-Q3 and partially
estimated Q4 data. Our full year environmental performance data
will be available on the Lendlease website in the ESG Databook
once Q4 data has been gathered and the limited assurance
engagement completed.
Our environmental performance has seen both energy use and
emissions affected by the gradual economic recovery due to
the ongoing impacts of COVID and the sale of our Engineering
and Services businesses. We have also made significant progress
in reducing carbon emissions through the implementation of
our global decarbonisation mandates, business commitments to
renewable electricity and the use of renewable diesel where
available. We continued our purchase of carbon offsets for
unavoidable emissions. In FY22, we offset 18 per cent of our
remaining scope 1 and 2 emissions, taking our net position to
80 ktCO2-eq.

Creating social value
On track to reach our target
Since launching our social value target
in 2020, we have created $107.3m of
social value through the work of our
shared value partnerships, supported by
Lendlease Foundation. We are well on
track to achieve our target of $250m
by 2025, with 42.9 per cent achieved
to date.
Shared value partnerships
Our shared value partnerships are
assessed using a methodology that
combines the principles of Social Return
on Investment (SROI) with a cost benefit
analysis. This places an economic value
on the improvement of wellbeing across a
series of social outcomes. For every dollar
invested we aim for an average return on
social value of five dollars.
More than 30 partnerships have now
been assessed. A sample of assessment
outcomes of our partnerships for the
period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2022
are shown.
This year we launched
#alittlehelptothrive, a social media
campaign to celebrate the work of our
shared value partnerships. The campaign
stories can be found on our website.
Social value on projects and assets
Our social value target and reporting does
not capture activities performed across
our projects and assets. We are working
on initiatives to support the tracking of
social value across our sites with a key
focus on:
• Skilling and training
• Employment
• Volunteering.
Social impact achievements
• BeOnsite won the Queen’s Award
for Enterprise for outstanding
achievement in promoting
opportunity through social mobility.
• FutureSteps celebrated the opening
of yourtown’s Louise Place, a
transitional home that received grant
funding to provide housing and
support services to survivors of

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Risk governance and
management
Our approach aims to create a risk intelligent culture that supports
strategy by driving value creation through risk based decision making.
The Board is responsible for ensuring
the effectiveness of the risk management
framework. The risk management process
outlines the governance, risk appetite,
accountability for risk management and
operational resilience program.
Risk framework
Our risk framework, underpinned by
a ‘Three Lines of Defence’ model,
remains unchanged from a governance
perspective. The model provides a
structured approach to risk management
by defining clear roles and responsibilities
across the organisation and the
relationship between the different areas.
Risk Appetite Framework
The Risk Appetite Framework articulates
the Board’s appetite for taking on risk as
we implement our strategy. It provides
clarity on the types of projects we target,
while providing a method for identifying
projects nearing or outside of acceptable
risk tolerances.
The Risk Appetite Framework, with
a lens on continuous improvement,
is periodically reviewed to ensure it
continues to evolve and remains fit-
for-purpose. Any changes, including
the addition of new statements and
tolerances, are reviewed and approved by
the Board Risk Committee.
Enterprise risks
Our Enterprise Risk Framework is
designed to inform and support business
strategy. The framework provides an
important backdrop in setting our
strategic objectives and monitoring
operational risk assessment throughout
the organisation.
The framework provides a harmonised
approach with five interlinking pillars.
The connectivity between these pillars
creates a risk management ecosystem
in which their interaction provides clear
and measurable linkages. This ecosystem
is supported by our underlying risk
systems, managing our exposure via
insurance, a resilience framework and a
risk intelligent culture.

An independently appointed ‘Voice of
Risk’ executive continues to form part
of each Regional Leadership Team. This
individual continues to play an objective
role to challenge both the business
and the risk function on strategic and
operational risk management.
Our Risk Management Framework is
outlined above. Each of the Enterprise
Risks has a cascade of granular risks
and opportunities which are tactical
and operational. These are supported
by Group policies and Risk Appetite
Tolerances. This facilitates a portfolio lens
across our risk profile.
An overview of global market risks across the business:
Geopolitical
Heightened geopolitical tensions are impacting the global economy, creating
volatility across the global markets, reflected most notably in higher energy
prices and rising inflation. We continue to actively monitor the global political
and economic risk landscape, ensuring our resilience framework is up to
date to support the business and our Board in understanding our potential
exposures and mitigation strategies.
Disruption of supply chain
Global supply chain disruption and dependency is being actively managed
across all areas of the business, with mitigation strategies in place across
key areas including higher inflation, construction cost volatility and surety
of supply.
COVID
Despite an easing of restrictions across our operations, notwithstanding
extended lockdowns in China, we are cognisant that the business will continue
to be challenged by COVID from both a strategic and operational perspective.
Our risk teams work closely with the business, governments and industry to
prepare for disruption and support business continuity across the Group.
Our global Supply Chain team play a key role in managing the related exposures flowing
from the market risks noted above. The team supports procurement activities across the
business by leveraging our global scale through our preferred supply chain partnerships. In
addition, the Supply Chain team manages enterprise-wide risk policies and standards, plus
systems to provide enhanced insights of supply chain risk. The team is also responsible for
co-ordinating Lendlease’s modern slavery risk mitigation response.

Climate-related
strategic resilience
Lendlease supports the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-
Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD), having committed to producing
annual disclosures that consider these recommendations in 2018.
We have a phased approach to
integrating the recommendations of
TCFD over time. Our disclosure
continues to evolve as we enhance
management of climate-related risks and
as advancements are made in climate-
related financial disclosures.
Building strategic resilience
In FY19 we disclosed our three climate
scenarios that we would use to
build business strategic resilience. The
scenarios were Polarisation (>3 degrees),
Paris Alignment (2-3 degrees) and
Transformation (well below 2 degrees).
In FY20 the business identified risks and
opportunities that might arise over the
next 30 years for each of our climate
scenarios and which of these were likely
should the scenario manifest in the next
10 years.
These risks and opportunities were then
synthesised into ten Climate-Related
Impacts (CRIs) per scenario and disclosed
in our FY20 Annual Report.
absorb, adapt, or transform to
the CRIs. An assessment of the
remaining residual sensitivities was
subsequently undertaken.
In FY21 and FY22 we further enhanced
the climate-related strategic resilience
of our business by engaging with more
than 100 of our senior leaders globally
in a series of TCFD Business Impact
workshops. The FY21 workshops used
the five CRIs identified as most likely to
appear in the next 10 years from each
scenario (should the scenario manifest)
as the basis of review. The remaining
five were examined in FY22. Participants
were asked to identify their business
unit’s positive and negative sensitivities,
by reference to impact to revenue, for
each CRI relative to our baseline strategy.
Participants identified mitigating actions
to reduce the sensitivity, if the
scenario happened, through building
business strategic resilience to either
Every effort was taken to engage in
a robust scenario analysis process with
input from experienced senior leaders
in each business around the globe.
However, scenario planning is, by its
nature, subjective and may be subject to
change as key considerations evolve. The
following disclosures are subject to these
factors. The assessment of our strategic
resilience is against a baseline which
assumes our Mission Zero strategy.
Top: Sydney: Barangaroo Headland.
Risk & climate-related resilience
53
Our strategic resilience to climate-
related impacts
The assessment of the second set of
five CRIs indicates a greater financial
resilience (higher residual positive
sensitivity) in our business strategy to
our Paris Aligned scenario, supported by
our continued commitment to being a
1.5 degree aligned business. In particular,
our Mission Zero business strategy played
a significant role in both reducing the
risks and increasing opportunities in the
analysis associated with our Paris Aligned
scenario. As with most companies, we
have negative sensitivities to global
labour and supply chain disruptions in our
Polarisation scenario; however, strategies
to mitigate these risks have been well
established during COVID disruptions.
The dramatic shift under a transformation
scenario poses both positive and negative
sensitivities, depending on the level
of transformation.
The integration of climate risk
assessments with investment decision
making, combined with continued
progress in decarbonising our operations
and supply chain, has reduced residual
negative sensitivities to climate impacts.
To help understand the level of mitigating
action considered for each climate
impact, we have expanded our CRI
disclosure to include the level of
action required to achieve the residual
sensitivity. The level of action identified
for the full set of CRIs will be available
in the Climate-related Impacts section of
our FY22 ESG Databook.
Scenario
Polarisation Scenario (>3oC)
This scenario sees a world where climate action is delayed by
the polarisation of climate action. This delay results in a world
where physical climate changes are the greatest across our
three scenarios.
The integration of ‘Leadership in Sustainability’ as a strategic
priority and our Net and Absolute Zero Carbon targets sees low
levels of positive sensitivity from an increased market share from
the public sector, as well as access and cost of capital.
Having experienced similar impacts to international product
and labour availability due to COVID, Lendlease recognises a
transformation of global supply chains and labour sourcing is
needed to reduce supply risks.
Paris Alignment Scenario (2-3oC)
This scenario sees a market led transition to a lower carbon future
through global government commitments to the Paris Agreement.
This would result in increased regulation of climate action and a
reduction of the physical impacts of climate change compared with
our Polarisation scenario.
There are many ‘difficult to decarbonise’ products and materials in
our supply chain, including cement, steel, and aluminium. However,
our continued work to achieve this goal would result in a significant
positive sensitivity.
Our leadership in sustainability and carbon targets creates positive
sensitivities to an increased market share from the public sector.
It also provides an advantage whilst leadership in decarbonisation
continues to be valued by investors.
Transformation Scenario (<2oC)
This scenario sees a rapid decarbonisation pathway, where global
emissions are close to zero in 2040, driven by society.
The speed of change required to limit global warming to 1.5
degrees is likely to create negative sensitivities in our supply chain
as suppliers try to keep pace with decarbonisation demands and
shifting preferences towards localisation. Further, however unlikely,
a major shift towards community ownership would disrupt most
major corporations.
Our leadership in sustainability and innovation creates positive
sensitivities to an expectation of greater research and development
in decarbonisation. Further, we see positive sensitivities through
an increase in partnerships and collaboration in decarbonisation,
such as our founding membership of the Materials and Embodied
Carbon Leaders Alliance (MECLA), an industry led coalition to
decarbonise Australia’s building and construction industry.

seek to reduce our scope 1 and 2
emissions, which will support not being
caught by a rising cost of carbon.
The mandate actions include shifting
to renewable electricity, utilising Power
Purchase Agreements, and shifting to
renewable diesel or biodiesel alternatives,
where these options are available.
Carbon offsets will be centrally managed
and procured to achieve net zero
emissions starting in FY25 for any
remaining unavoidable emissions. For
illustrative purposes only, based on our
estimated net scope 1 and 2 emissions in
FY22, and the current estimated cost of
carbon offsets, the potential cost range to
achieve net zero in FY22 would have been
between $1.2m and $2.4m2.
Emerging Climate-related Impacts
With the full business strategy resilience
assessment now complete across the
three scenarios, we will continue to
monitor the identified climate-related
risks and opportunities for signs of the
Climate-related Impacts (CRIs) emerging.
The value of this strategic resilience
planning is evident with a few key CRIs
beginning to materialise.
CRI: Industry Leadership in
Decarbonisation valued (All scenarios)
Lendlease identified that industry
leadership in decarbonisation would be
valued under all three scenarios. This has
been seen in the rise of sustainable format
financing strategies.
We are a leader in sustainable financing
in Australia with approximately $3.1b or
60 per cent of the Group’s total facilities
sourced in sustainable formats.
Accessing the sustainable financing
market has supported execution of
the Group’s strategy, improved lender
engagement and is expected to result in
lower borrowing costs for the Group.
It is our intention to pursue, where
appropriate, sustainable format financings
in the future for new facilities and
refinancing of maturing facilities.
CRI: Increased Cost of Carbon (Paris
Alignment scenario)
Since identifying the cost of carbon
as a potential CRI under the Paris
Alignment scenario in FY20, there has
been a substantial increase in the number
of net zero commitments made by
corporations and governments globally
and a corresponding increase in the
demand for quality carbon offsets. This
has been reflected in carbon offset
markets, with an expectation that pricing
will likely increase as the net zero
deadlines declared by these entities
approach1. This is to be expected given
some organisations are planning to solely
rely on the purchase of carbon offsets to
achieve their net zero targets.
Our 2040 Absolute Zero target, which
seeks to eliminate emissions from our
business altogether without reliance on
offsets, helps to mitigate the carbon
offset price risk exposure. It is also
intrinsic to our near-term Net Zero
by 2025 target to reduce our carbon
emissions as much as possible and
therefore minimise the residual position
requiring offset.
To help achieve our ambitious targets,
long term decarbonisation plans (Mission
Zero Roadmaps) and short-term carbon
mandates have been developed for each
business and region. The mandates

1. Operating earnings presented reflects Statutory earnings adjusted for non
operating items and the Non core segment. Non operating are Investments
segment property revaluations, restructuring charges and impairment expenses.
2. Non operating items after tax for the year ending 30 June 2022 includes
Investment segment revaluations $70m, offset by restructuring costs $119m,
development impairment costs $223m, intangible impairments relating to the
Digital business $55m, other intangible impairments $6m. Prior year includes
Investment segment revaluations $26m.
3. Return on Equity is calculated using Profit after Tax divided by the arithmetic
average of beginning, half and year end securityholders’ equity.
Performance
The Group’s Statutory Loss after Tax for the year ending 30 June
2022 was $99m, compared with a Statutory Profit after Tax of
$222m for the prior year1. This included a loss of $333m from
Non-operating items driven by restructuring costs, and a loss of
$42m from the Non-core segment.
The Group recorded Core Operating Profit after Tax of $276m
for the year ending 30 June 2022. Core Operating Earnings per
Security of 40.1 cents represents a Return on Equity of 4.0 per
cent. Distributions per security totalled 16 cents, representing a
payout ratio of 40 per cent of Core Operating Profit.
Good progress has been made in advancing several strategic
priorities which provide momentum into FY23 and beyond. These
include approximately $11b of investment partnerships and the
commencement of $5.9b of developments.
Core segment EBITDA of $809m was down from $918m1 .
Investment earnings were up substantially with both higher
fund management fees and a recovery in investment income.
Development profitability remained suppressed with limited
completions, and Construction earnings continued to reflect
COVID impacts, cost pressures and lower new work secured in
Europe and Americas.
The Investments segment outperformed with a 9.7 per cent
return on invested capital, above our target range of 6-9 per cent,
boosted by the part divestment of the asset management income
stream of the US Military Housing portfolio, as well as a recovery
in portfolio income and higher management fees.
The lower contribution from the Development segment reflects
fewer completions and the impact of the change in approach to
our joint venture projects, which more closely aligns the timing
of profit with cash flow and capital at risk. While the return on
invested capital of 2.2 per cent was well below target, albeit
within the expected range for FY22, progress continues to be
made towards converting the development pipeline with Work in
Progress at a record $18.4b.
In the Construction segment, revenue was up driven primarily by
the Australian region. The Americas, where new work secured
has reduced significantly since the onset of COVID, recorded a
decline in revenue. The construction EBITDA margin of two per
cent was at the bottom of the 2-3 per cent EBITDA target range.
Corporate costs of $180m were higher due to a combination
of one-off provisioning in the current year and several one-
off benefits which reduced reported costs in the prior year.
Excluding these one-off items, corporate costs would have
declined. Net finance costs of $116m were lower with reduced
committed facilities and lower average drawn debt. The average
cost of debt was largely unchanged despite base rate increases
due to the high proportion of fixed rate debt.
The balance sheet remains in a strong position with gearing of 7.3
per cent and total available liquidity of $3.9b.
The Non-core loss primarily reflects costs associated with the
exit of the Services business in FY22. We have maintained
provisions we consider are appropriate to complete our share
of the retained Melbourne Metro project and for potential
warranties associated with the now exited Engineering and
Services businesses.
At the beginning of the year the Group announced a five-year
roadmap to deliver long term sustainable performance, with
FY22 a Reset year. The roadmap has simplified the business
and created a leaner organisation. Restructuring costs associated
with these changes, recorded as Non-operating items, were
$342m post tax and include allowances for employee and
tenancy costs, and development impairments on a small number
of underperforming projects.
Recurring annual savings arising from simplifying the Group’s
operating model were $172m, which have exceeded our target
of more than $160m pre tax on an annualised basis. Additional
cost savings are anticipated in FY23.
Restructuring charges of $170m pre tax were incurred to
generate these savings. A change in development strategy across
a small number of projects incurred an impairment expense of
$289m pre tax.
A review of the Group’s digital business reaffirmed the
importance of the strategy, along with a more focused product
offering. A refinement to the existing strategy will enable a more
efficient use of the Group’s capital. An impairment expense of
$55m post tax was recorded in relation to products that have
been discontinued.

Segment
Impacts
Outlook
The Group enters the new financial year with significant
operating momentum, providing confidence in the Create phase
of our five-year roadmap. While our integrated model enables a
high degree of control regarding executing our strategy, we will
be influenced by the external environment of higher inflation and
interest rates.
The Return on Invested Capital for the Investments segment is
expected to be in the range of 6-7.5 per cent for FY23, the lower
half of our target range. While the urban development pipeline
is expected to continue to provide the predominant source of
future growth for the investments platform, new initiatives will be
pursued selectively alongside our investment partners.
The Return on Invested Capital for the Development segment is
expected to be in the range of 4-6 per cent for FY23. Higher
commencements and a record amount of Work in Progress are
driving a recovery in both completions and profit. However, scale
benefits will not be achieved and the revised approach to our
joint venture projects is anticipated to continue to defer profits
on some projects in the near term. As a result, returns in FY23
will remain well below our target of 10-13 per cent.
We remain on track to meet our $8b completion target in FY24,
along with the Return on Invested Capital target of 10-13 per
cent. Anticipated commencements, along with our assessment
of project fundamentals of current Work in Progress, provides
confidence in achieving both the completion and return targets.
The EBITDA margin for the Construction segment is expected to
be in the range of 1.5-2.5 per cent for FY23, potentially lower
than our target range of 2-3 per cent, due to ongoing disruption
from the pandemic, cost pressures and supply chain constraints.
These risks have been well managed to date but their persistence
is likely to impact performance in FY23.
Investments
Performance was

Development
Activity and profitability
were affected.
• Retail asset management fees recovered, but were partly offset by a normalisation of expenses
•
•
Income from the Group’s investment portfolio recovered, although remains below pre-COVID levels
Extended stabilisation periods were experienced on recently completed assets
• While there have been some impacts to income, real estate valuations were resilient with a $74m (pre
tax) increase in the book value of the Group’s coinvestments.
Delays in converting opportunities across the Group’s urban pipeline included:
• Weaker demand for new apartment product
•
Population declines across many gateway cities impacting underlying real estate demand
• Weaker tenant demand and investment partner appetite in the office sector
•
Settlement delays on completed apartment product
• Deferral in completion dates of projects in delivery e.g The Exchange TRX
There were also some positive impacts:
• Demand and pricing for luxury apartments

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Investments segment
The Group’s investment portfolio is valued at $3.5b. The portfolio
was steady against FY21 with the investment into an industrial
portfolio joint venture and our participation in the Lendlease
Global Commercial REIT capital raising broadly offsetting the
Retirement Living divestment. The investment portfolio is well
diversified, with exposure across the office, residential, retail,
retirement and industrial sectors.
Outlook
The Return on Invested Capital for the Investments segment
is expected to be in the range of 6-7.5 per cent for FY23,
within our target range. Funds under management, assets under
management and the investment portfolio are the key operating
metrics that drive future financial performance.
Growth in funds under management of 12 per cent1 to
$44.4b was underpinned by new partnerships and mandates,
fund acquisitions and appreciating asset values. Additional
funds include Real Estate Partners 4; an office partnership at
International Quarter London; our industrial portfolio joint venture
and acquisitions across the Australian Funds Management
platform. In addition to the current funds under management,
there is approximately $5b of potential FUM based on
development projects currently in delivery via managed funds or
mandates. This forms part of the $11b of investment partnerships
that were established during the year.
The Group’s urban development pipeline is expected to continue
to provide the predominant source of future growth for the
investments platform. The existing urban development pipeline
includes approximately $64b of institutional investment grade
product across commercial and residential for rent assets.
Assets under management rose from $28.5b to $30.0b, primarily
driven by foreign exchange rate movements. Fees will be lower
in FY23 given our lower interest in the military housing asset
management income stream.
The Group’s investment portfolio of $3.5b includes approximately
$1b in each of office and retail assets, $0.7b in residential and
$0.5b in retirement, with the remainder in industrial.
The Group’s strategy is to significantly grow its investment
portfolio over time. Growth is expected to be derived from
retaining a proportion of completed assets from the development
pipeline and investing alongside partners through the launch of
new products. Key initiatives progressed in FY22 include the
launch of a value-add diversified fund; a partnership to develop
the office precinct at International Quarter London; a US Life
Sciences partnership; and an Asian Innovation partnership.

Performance
The Investments segment delivered EBITDA of $497m, up
substantially from $276m1. The recovery in performance was
driven by several components of the segment with higher fund
management fees, a recovery in underlying investment income
and profits on divestments. Return on Invested Capital of 9.7 per
cent outperformed both the anticipated range of 7.5-8.5 provided
at the HY22 results and the segment target range of 6-9 per cent.
Management EBITDA, derived from funds and asset
management activities across the Group’s investments platform,
was $141m, down from $165m1 .
Funds management EBITDA rose 25 per cent to $94m1 . Revenue
climbed from $145m to $172m, driven by base fees growing in
line with funds under management and acquisition fees from
investments in Asia. Higher expenses were driven by investment
in resourcing to support the $11b in initiatives to underpin our
growing platform, including the launch of new products.
Asset management EBITDA of $47m is down from $90m1 .
The prior year includes fees from the $1.3b of redevelopment
activity that was secured across the US military housing
portfolio. Residential fees across the apartments for rent portfolio
continued to rise while commercial asset management fees
recovered on fewer abatements.
Investment portfolio EBITDA was $356m, up from $111m1 .
Improved asset level performance supported a recovery in
underlying investment income with an investment yield of
approximately five per cent across the portfolio, up from
approximately three per cent in the prior year. This included
a recovery in earnings across our co-investment positions,
including an improved operating performance from our
Retirement Living investment. Profits from capital recycling
initiatives included $167m pre-tax associated with the part
divestment of the future asset management income stream from
the US Military Housing portfolio.

Performance
The Development segment delivered EBITDA of $181m, down
significantly from $469m.1 COVID adversely impacted the timing
and profitability of projects during the year while weather
disruptions suppressed the performance of the Communities
business. The prior year profit included contributions from the
development joint ventures formed on One Sydney Harbour,
Towers One and Two. They generated approximately $325m in
EBITDA, including the uplift on our retained interest of 75 per
cent. The decision to improve earnings quality by changing our
approach to joint venture projects delayed expected profits.
The subdued operating performance was reflected in a
deterioration in returns. Return on Invested Capital of 2.2 per
cent was at the lower end of the expected range of 2-4 per cent
expected for FY22 and below our target range of 10-13 per cent.
The divestment of the remaining 20 per cent interest in our
Sydney Place development, along with progress on both leasing
and construction delivery milestones, was the largest contributor
to the result. Origination fees following financial close on both
the North East Link and Frankston Hospital Public Private
Partnerships also contributed to EBITDA.
We completed $2.5b of developments, down from $3.8b in
the prior year, comprised of $2.0b urban projects and $0.5b
Communities. Across our urban portfolio, we completed both
apartments for sale and rent buildings at Lakeshore East,
Chicago, two office campus style buildings at Milano Santa Giulia
and the retirement village in Shanghai.
The Australian Communities business generated EBITDA of
$16m, down from $42m1 . Planning and weather delays
contributed to the decline in settlements from 2,228 to 1,478 lots.
Further recovery in commencements, which are running well
ahead of completions, provides us with the confidence that
operating momentum will translate into improved financial
performance. Commencements of $5.9b, including a strong
recovery in H2 FY22 of $4.4b, were up from $5.6b1 providing a
clearer pathway for completions to achieve our $8b annual target
going forward from FY24.
Our apartments for rent project at 1 Java Street, New York
commenced against the backdrop of an improved outlook for
the inner-city rental market. We are now underway with the
third and final residential tower at One Sydney Harbour, Sydney.
The Boston Life Sciences project commenced, along with office
developments in Singapore, London and Sydney. In addition, we
commenced phase one of the data centre in Tokyo. Lot sales
across Australian Communities rebounded from 1,940 to 3,1141 as
we worked through planning and launched new projects.
Invested capital rose from $4.4b to $5.4b1 as development
expenditure accelerated ahead of higher completions. Key
projects utilising additional capital include: One Sydney Harbour;
The Exchange TRX, Milan Innovation District and the Australian
Communities business. The increase in invested capital is net of
a $0.2b reduction related to the impairment of a small number of
development projects.
Outlook
The Return on Invested Capital for the Development segment
is expected to be in the range of 4-6 per cent for FY23. The
significant operating momentum we carry into the new financial
year, reflected in higher commencements and a record amount
of Work in Progress, will drive a recovery in both completions
and profit. However, neither will be at a sufficient level to derive
the full scale benefits from our development platform. In addition,
the change in approach to our joint venture projects has shifted
the timing of profit recognition. As a result, returns in FY23 will
remain well below our target of 10-13 per cent.
The development pipeline rose from $113.6b to $117b1 with
additional projects and increased scope on existing projects
more than offsetting completions and the removal of a few
underperforming projects. Our $3b joint venture with Singtel
was added to the pipeline. The project comprises two premium
grade workplaces totalling approximately 110,000 square metres.
Our Kinma Valley community project in South East Queensland
received planning approval, adding $0.7b to the pipeline. Master
planning and pricing improvements across our existing urban and
communities' projects generated an uplift of more than $5b to
the pipeline.
The conversion of the already secured pipeline is critical for
achieving our annual completion target of more than $8b.
While this alleviates the need for significant origination, we will
continue to pursue attractive opportunities with emphasis on our
Asian and Australian cities.
Work in Progress, the lead indicator for future completions, has
risen to a record $18.4b. Approximately $4.5b is expected to
complete in FY23, including Sydney Place and our apartments
for sale project at 100 Claremont, New York. The Australian
Communities business is recovering with more than $1b of
presales carried into the new financial year. Consequently, we are
targeting the lower end of our 3,000 to 4,000 settlement range
for FY23.
We remain on track to meet our more than $8b completion
target in FY24. Projects that underpin this level of completions
include residential Towers One & Two, One Sydney Harbour, the
Melbourne Quarter Tower and TRX in Kuala Lumpur.
Maintaining this completion target will require Work in
Progress of more than $20b. This milestone is expected to
be reached in FY23, driven by expected commencements of
approximately $8b.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Construction segment
Outlook
The EBITDA margin for the Construction segment is expected
to be in the range of 1.5-2.5 per cent for FY23, potentially
lower than our expected target range of 2-3 per cent, with
the Australian region expected to be the main contributor to
earnings. The outlook is subdued with ongoing disruption from
the pandemic, cost pressures and supply chain constraints. The
Group is closely monitoring these risks and has implemented
various mitigation strategies.
Backlog revenue remains solid at $10.5b and is diversified by
client type and sector. Public sector projects account for two
thirds of the backlog, while three sectors: social infrastructure;
defence; and commercial account for more than 85 per cent.
Australia has a strong workbook, with $7.0b in backlog revenue.
Key projects include the Frankston Hospital Redevelopment,
RAAF Tindal Stage 6 and USFPI Airfield Works, Powerhouse
Parramatta, Liverpool Health and Academic Precinct and the
North and South Towers of the Over Station Development at the
Sydney Metro Martin Place Integrated Station Development.
The Americas has backlog revenue of $2.6b. The lagged impact
of the pandemic and our decision to remain disciplined in bidding
for work has resulted in the Americas backlog declining to
significantly below historic levels. We have maintained capability
given our confidence that backlog and revenue will recover
over time.
Backlog revenue in Europe is $0.7b, and Asia backlog revenue
is $0.2b.
The Construction segment will continue to support the integrated
model and target leadership positions in key sectors by
leveraging its competitive advantage, focusing on key market
trends and maintaining execution excellence.

1. Construction revenue to be earned in future periods (excludes internal projects).
Performance
The Construction segment delivered EBITDA of $131m, down
from $173m in the prior year. The result was adversely impacted
by productivity delays relating to COVID, lower new work
secured, and increased cost pressures due to inflation and supply
chain challenges. Notwithstanding these challenges, our strong
client relationships, risk management approach and dedicated
teams enabled a resilient performance.
Revenue of $6.6b was modestly up on the prior year. This
was driven by an 11 per cent uplift from Australia. Asia and
Europe were broadly in line with the prior year. Revenue from
the Americas was down seven per cent because of reduced
new work secured since the onset of COVID, particularly in the
northeast residential market.
Several health related projects drove higher revenue in Australia.
This included the Tweed Heads Valley Hospital and Randwick
Campus Redevelopment; and the Pathway to 144 Mental Health
Beds project which responds to the Royal Commission into
Victoria’s Mental Health System. Office and residential buildings
in New York and Los Angeles contributed to revenue in
the Americas.
The EBITDA margin was 2.0 per cent, the bottom end of the
target range of 2-3 per cent. Australia’s margin was strong at 3.8
per cent, while margin pressure was driven by lower productivity
across projects in Europe and the Americas. This compares with
an EBITDA margin of 2.7 per cent in FY21, which included COVID
induced temporary cost reduction measures as well as project
completions that boosted the margin.
New work secured of $5.3b was well down from $6.9b,
with gains in the Australian business offset by continued
weakness in the Americas and Europe. In Australia, new work
secured of $3.6b was underpinned by the Frankston Hospital
Redevelopment, Powerhouse Parramatta and two health related
social infrastructure projects.
New work secured of $1.1b in the Americas was significantly
below historical averages, reflecting ongoing subdued activity
in key markets, including delays in projects being brought
to market.
The business is preferred for $4.6b in new projects, including
several social infrastructure projects in Australia and office
projects in Europe.
Extensive sector expertise and geographic diversity has
been critical for the business to navigate a difficult
operating environment.

Investment Assets
The investment portfolio was steady with the equity
contributions to the new Industrial Fund and Lendlease Global
Commercial REIT broadly offsetting the Retirement Living
divestment in Australia. Investment properties directly held fell
due to the disposal of retail assets at Barangaroo.
Development Assets
Total development assets rose 10 per cent as Work in Progress
accelerates ahead of higher completions. Inventory decreased
by 6 per cent with lower carrying values on underperforming
projects following their impairment and the reclassification of
International Quarter London to Equity Accounted Investments
following the formation of the new investment partnership.
Equity contributions to development projects in delivery,
including One Sydney Harbour, The Exchange TRX, and Milan
Innovation District also contributed to the 40 per cent increase in
Equity Accounted Investment assets. The increase in Investment
Properties includes capital expenditure on our Retirement Living
asset in Asia.
Other assets and liabilities
The movement in other assets and liabilities predominantly
relates to the disposal of the Services business. Cash and cash
equivalents of $1.3b are moderately below the prior year levels.
Cash flow and treasury management
The Group commenced the year with cash and cash equivalents
of $1.7b. Movements during the year comprised Operating cash
outflow of $835m, Investing cash inflow of $552m and Financing
cash outflow of $106m. The Group closed the year with cash and
cash equivalents of $1.3b.
The Group measures underlying cash flow to enable an
assessment of cash conversion.
1. Comparative period the year ended 30 June 2021.
The measures are derived by adjusting statutory cash flows, with
the largest adjustment relating to the impact on cash flows from
investments in development.
Underlying core operating cash inflow was $514m, representing
a cash conversion ratio of 82 per cent. Investment segment
cash flows were the primary driver with softer Construction
cash flows, a result of subdued activity in international regions,
impacting cash conversion. The change in approach to profit
recognition has improved the cash conversion ratio.
Underlying investing cash outflow was $482m. The major
contributors included proceeds from the 24.9 per cent
divestment of Retirement Living and the remaining 20 per cent
interest in our Sydney Place development, offset by equity
contributions to the new Industrial Fund and Lendlease Global
Commercial REIT, as well as continued investment across key
development projects in delivery. Proceeds received from the
sale of the Services business partially offset production spend in
the year.
Group facilities reduced from $5.6b to $5.0b1 following the
decision to reduce the quantum of available committed facilities.
The Group remains in a strong financial position with $3.9b
of liquidity comprised of $1.3b of cash and cash equivalents
and $2.6b in available undrawn debt. Average debt maturity
increased to 6.6 years providing greater flexibility and access to
longer term capital.
Gearing of 7.3 per cent is below the target range of 10-20
per cent, reflecting several divestments in the second half of
FY22. This is expected to rise to the middle of the target range
during FY23.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Engagement
As an international company and having regard to the material scale
of projects, the Board program is formulated to reflect the geographic
spread of Lendlease businesses.
Board regional program FY22
The Board program typically comprises
formal meetings and additional business
briefings, presentations from internal
and external sources, project site visits,
employee events and meetings with key
stakeholders. These are scheduled in each
of the regions where Lendlease operates.
The Board views that these program
activities – in addition to the
formal, scheduled Board and Committee
meetings – are important for Board
members to receive a greater
understanding of our people and our
business and a deep understanding of
the activities and operations. The Chair
works with the Company Secretary to
plan the yearly program. Depending on
the time of year, the program runs for
a minimum of three days and up to five
days where more detailed project reviews
are required.
Program for the
reporting period
between 1 July 2021
and 30 June 2022.
Board program activities
undertaken during the reporting
period are listed below. The Europe
program is not included as this
occurred in June 2021 (reported in
the FY21 Annual Report) and July
2022 (to be reported in the FY23
Annual Report).
The Board maintained its regular cadence
of meetings despite the challenge of
COVID, including intermittent lockdowns,
experienced across our operating regions
The program was maintained through
a mixture of virtual and face to face
meetings and visits.
Asia (virtual and on-site program)
• Virtual site tour of key projects
in each of the Asia countries
– Singapore, Japan, China and
Malaysia. (December 2021)

trade issues. (December 2021)

precinct. (April 2022)

Leadership Team – virtually in
December 2021 and in person in
April 2022.

(April 2022)

and overview of key regional
business issues.

• Site visit and interaction with
the Sydney Place project team.

• Engagement with Americas Regional
Leadership team. (November 2021)
Stakeholder engagement
The Board members, led by the Chairman,
maintain an active and extensive
engagement program to represent the
interests of the Group at various industry
functions and bodies. The Chairman acts
as a spokesperson and regularly meets
with customers, investors, governments
and media. In February 2022, the
Board endorsed a refreshed investor
engagement program to encourage two
way communications with the investment
community. As part of this, a presentation
detailing the scope of the Board
activities and focus areas for the Board
Committees was made available on the
Lendlease website in May 2022.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) has
always been an important date in our
calendar and provides our securityholders
with a valuable opportunity to
communicate with the Board. For the
last two years, the AGM has been held
online, due to the COVID pandemic. In
2022, we are planning to hold a hybrid
format AGM with both an ‘in-person’
and virtual component which will provide
greater access to our securityholders to
participate and vote on all resolutions.
Board engagement with our people
The Board members have approved a
code of conduct which articulates the
standards of behaviour expected of all
our people. The tone is ‘set at the
top’ and Board members believe that
meeting with our people, in addition to
information received in formal meetings
on the organisation’s culture, is an
important element of reinforcing the
Lendlease values. Board members plan
to meet with employees in all the
regions and in more focused groups with
the Regional Leadership Teams. Wider
employee events were reintroduced in
the Australia and Asia regions where
employee ‘town hall’ style events were
held, providing the opportunity for open
discussion on organisational culture.
Sessions between Board members and
the Regional Leadership teams occurred
in person and virtually. Visits to the
Europe and Americas regions with
scheduled town hall events are planned
for FY23.

Board Project Assessments
A key responsibility of the Board is to approve and oversee the
implementation of the strategy so that the Group can pursue its
integrated business model in targeted global gateway
Since the onset of COVID, the Board
has maintained site visits and project
reviews in a virtual format. The Board
reintroduced its longstanding tradition of
visiting the Lendlease regions in person to
conduct site visits and reviews of various
projects in April 2022.
Site visits allow the Board to speak to
project teams about the challenges and
opportunities in the delivery of a project,
enabling these to be appreciated in a
fuller geographic and strategic context.
These activities undertaken by the Board
are examples of how the Board oversees
management and delivering projects in
accordance with the Group’s strategy.
PLQ Development, Singapore
The PLQ project assessment is an
example of how the Board reviews and
evaluates strategic opportunities, sustains
competitive advantage of the integrated
model to originate, fund and deliver major
urban projects.
opportunities were appreciated in a fuller
geographic context.
Paya Lebar Central was identified by
the Singapore Government as a new
commercial hub for Singapore. This
project was first presented to the Board
in 2014, and after careful consideration,
an equity commitment for Lendlease’s
interest in PLQ was approved in 2015. Due
to the project’s size and significance, the
Board has continued to receive updates
on the progress of PLQ and visited the
project in 2015, prior to commencement
of construction and again in 2017, to
view progress. In April 2022, the Board
visited the now completed project, one
of the largest sustainable business and
lifestyle precincts in Singapore. The
highly activated integrated commercial
realm includes offices, retail, residential
and public spaces. In visiting the site
over a longer time frame, the Board’s
discussions on the project’s risks and
The Board’s interactions with PLQ, before,
during and after completion of delivery,
including visits, tours, presentations and
project team interactions are indicative of
the scrutiny and governance undertaken
by the Board to oversee the delivery
of projects in accordance with the
Group’s strategy.

focus areas of value creation, supported
by disciplined governance and risk

Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee assists the

actions of management in achieving
Lendlease’s aspiration to be a sustainable
organisation. The Committee has
oversight of health and safety, ESG
matters, the Lendlease Foundation,
modern slavery and the Group’s
Elevate RAP.
Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee has
responsibility for Board renewal,
composition and Director development
and oversees the reviews of Board,
Committee and Director performance.
Directors’ Meetings
Board meetings
The Board meets as often as necessary
to fulfil its role. Directors are required to
allocate sufficient time to the Group to
perform their responsibilities effectively,
including adequate time to prepare for
Board meetings. During the financial year
ended 30 June 2022, 12 Board meetings
were held. Typically, four face to face
meetings are held in Australia and one
each in the UK, Asia and the Americas
to align with the Group’s regional
operations. In addition, three shorter
meetings are scheduled to provide
updates to the Board between the longer
face to face meeting programs. Given
the COVID pandemic, a mixture of face
to face and virtual meetings were held
during the reporting period. In April 2022,
the Board returned to holding meetings
in the offshore regions. Matters were
also dealt with as required by circular
resolution. Special subcommittees were
also constituted to deal with specific
matters. During the reporting period, 13
such subcommittee meetings were held.
Overview of Board Committees
The Board recognises the essential role
of Committees in guiding the Company
on specific issues. There are five
standing Board Committees to assist,
advise and make recommendations to
the Board on matters falling within their
areas of responsibility. Each Committee
consists of independent, Non Executive
Directors. The Chair of each Committee
is not a Chair of other Committees, or
Chair of the Board. Each Committee
is governed by a formal Charter
setting out its objectives, roles and
responsibilities, composition, structure,
membership requirements and operation.
During the reporting period a review
of the accompanying Charters and
Workplans for each of the Committees
was undertaken.
The five permanent Committees of
the Board are:
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee assists the Board
with its oversight responsibilities in
relation to accounting policies and
practices, tax matters, treasury reporting,
monitoring of internal financial controls,
internal and external audit functions and
financial reporting of the Group.
People and Culture Committee
The People and Culture Committee
assists the Board with its oversight
responsibilities in relation to establishing
people management, diversity and
inclusion, talent and remuneration/
compensation policies for the Group.
Risk Committee
The Risk Committee assists the Board
with its oversight responsibilities in
relation to risk management and
internal control systems, risk policies
and practices and compliance. The
Risk Committee also has the role
of considering, and if approved,
recommending to the Board for
approval major transactions as referred
to the Committee by the Global
Investment Committee.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Remuneration Report
Message from the Board
While the global operating environment
has remained challenging, Lendlease
made demonstrable and meaningful
progress in resetting the company for
long term success by delivering the first
phase of our five year Reset, Create,
Thrive roadmap (see Performance and
Outlook on page 56.
As part of Reset, the Board oversaw
the decision to increase the transparency
of financial and non-financial metrics,
including expected return ranges
for the core segments: Investments,
Development and Construction. In
addition, greater visibility has been
provided on the Group’s contribution to
environmental sustainability and social
value creation. (see Sustainability on
page 42.
Health and safety remain the
organisation’s highest priority. Our people
and contractors have the right to
return home safely each day. We
were deeply saddened by the fatality
of a subcontractor on one of our
projects in New York in an area under
subcontractor management. We extend
our condolences to the young man’s
family and friends.
Executive Reward Strategy
As outlined in the 2021 Remuneration
Report, significant changes were made
to the Executive Reward Strategy. We
engaged with securityholders on the
proposed changes, and subsequently
received strong support at the 2021 AGM.
Key changes made to the Executive
Reward Strategy:
• Removed the restricted securities plan
to increase the remuneration portion
subject to performance.
• Rebalanced the remuneration mix
to address securityholder concerns
over maximum Long Term Award
(LTA) quantum.
• Implemented STA deferral to enable
greater alignment of STA to
securityholder return.
• Simplified and reduced the number
of KPIs within the Short Term Award
(STA) to focus on the measures that
are most critical to business success
over the long term.
• Introduced a threshold and maximum
performance range, in addition to
target for the STA to enable greater
pay for performance alignment.
• Increased the financial performance
weighting under the STA from 50%
to 65% to maintain the weighting
to financial performance post the
rebalance of the remuneration mix.
• Simplified the communication of LTAs
at maximum opportunity to enhance
peer comparability on quantum.
25 years’ relevant international industry
experience to the organisation. We thank
former executives Johannes Dekker and
Kylie Rampa for their contributions to
the organisation.
Additionally, we welcomed Nicholas
Collishaw to the Board and the People
and Culture Committee. Philip Coffey
and Jane Hemstritch rotated off the
Committee during the year.
Looking ahead
As we move into the Create phase
of our roadmap, the organisation is
well positioned to deliver on targets
for development completions and funds
under management. We are also well
progressed on our sustainability and
broader social value targets. The incentive
targets for next year will reflect this new
stage of our strategic plan.
The Committee is focused on investing
in our people in order to deliver
for securityholders and customers and
support the execution of our strategy.
We invite you to read the Remuneration
Report which details the outcomes for
KMP during the year.
M J Ullmer, AO
Chairman
Elizabeth Proust, AO
Chairman, People & Culture Committee
As well as embedding these changes,
focus areas for the People & Culture
Committee in FY22 included:
• Supporting improvements to the
broader people agenda.
• Focusing on attracting and fostering
exceptional talent, equitably and
responsibly rewarding employees, and
keeping people decisions central to
business strategy.
• Enhancements to governance
on remuneration frameworks via
modernising the treatment of
LTA awards in circumstances
where participating executives
cease employment.
FY22 outcomes and link to performance
Remuneration outcomes relating to the
financial year were determined by
business performance during Reset,
while having regard to the difficult
operating conditions.
The decisive action we took during
the year to reset the business strategy,
simplifying the organisation structure,
recalibrating the cost base, accelerating
Development activity, and growing
our investments platform has set
the Group up for sustainable long
term performance. Although financial
performance remains below our Portfolio
Management Framework targets, it is
consistent with expectations set for FY22.
Notwithstanding strong performance
against scorecard KPIs and exceeding
expectations on roadmap goals, the Board
determined that a downward adjustment
to STA outcomes should be made given
the financial results anticipated in this
year of strategic reset.
Accordingly, as a result of the application
of Board discretion, the STA outcome for
the Group CEO was 48% of maximum,
and for the other KMP ranged between
55% and 61% of maximum STA.
There was no vesting of the 2020
LTA given the relative TSR and ROE
performance hurdles were not met.
We believe the remuneration outcomes
for executives are appropriate,
acknowledging the significant progress
made on the five year roadmap.

The People & Culture Committee and the Board review our remuneration principles and remuneration
framework as well as determine the STA and LTA outcomes for Executive KMP, which remain subject
to malus consideration. The Board retains the discretion to reduce or forfeit any unvested awards if it
considers that vesting of such awards will result in the participant receiving a benefit that would be
unwarranted or inappropriate. Additionally, the Global CEO LTA is submitted for securityholder approval at
the AGM.

Maximum Remuneration Mix
Maximum remuneration mix for the Global CEO and Executives (excluding the Group Chief Risk Officer1) is as follows:
1The remuneration mix for the Group Chief Risk Officer is: 28% Fixed Remuneration, 31% Maximum STA and 41% Maximum LTA.
Adjustments were made to our Executive Reward Strategy from 1 July 2021 which included a rebalance of the
remuneration mix and implementing STA deferral. We have retained features that reflect the long dated nature
of the business, such as the LTA vesting over years 3 to 6 and delivering a significant proportion of remuneration
in equity.

76 per cent of Total Maximum Remuneration is performance based.
•
59 per cent of Total Maximum Remuneration is delivered in deferred equity

Alignment Between Remuneration Outcomes and Securityholder Experience
STA outcomes and securityholder experience
In the August 2021 Strategy Briefing1, the Global CEO set out the five year roadmap for delivering sustainable performance. The focus
of FY22 was to reset the platform for delivery and growth. This involved deploying a more focused business model, optimising the
Group operating structure and businesses, recalibrating the cost base, implementing the outcomes of the Development portfolio review
and accelerating the conversion of the pipeline, and growing the Investments platform. A change was made to the approach to the
structuring of Development joint ventures in order to improve the alignment of profit recognition with realised cash and the risk/reward
profile. A consequence of this was to defer recognition of Development profits to later years, with a reduced OPAT expected in FY22,
building back to our Portfolio Management Framework targets by FY24. The FY22 Operating Plan, which forms the basis for the FY22
STA scorecard KPIs, was aligned to the strategy reset.
Key outcomes delivered in FY22 against the strategic roadmap are:
• Successful consolidation of the Australian businesses into an integrated unit
• Annualised cost savings in excess of the $160m target
• Record Development Work in Progress in the second half providing strong momentum as we enter FY23, on the pathway to
delivering annual production in excess of $8bn by FY24
• Growth in the Investment platform ahead of plan
• Construction margin was at the bottom end of the target range.
In applying the discretion embedded in the Executive Reward Strategy, the Board had regard to these and other factors when assessing
the appropriate balance between pay for performance in the form of STA and securityholder outcomes for FY22. More detail is given in
the assessment of performance against the Global CEO STA scorecard set out on page 90.

Fixed Remuneration
This section presents our approach to setting Fixed Remuneration.
No remuneration increases were applied in FY22 to Executive KMP.
Design
Quantum
How Fixed Remuneration Works
• No remuneration increases were applied in FY22 to Executive KMP.
• Quantum and remuneration mix are benchmarked to test that total remuneration remains
market competitive.
• Annual review except in instance of role changes.
Benchmarking Approach
• Considers the relative size, scale and complexity of roles to enable a fair comparison.
• A target fixed and total remuneration position is established with reference to the market median and
75th percentile.
• Aim to provide total remuneration towards the 75th percentile if outstanding performance
is achieved.
• The People & Culture Committee typically uses a number of sources for benchmarking Global CEO
and Executive remuneration including:
Publicly available data for similar roles in companies of a similar size, such as:
•
• Revenue Group: ASX listed companies with revenue of between 50 and 200 per cent of
Lendlease’s revenue
• Market Capitalisation Group: ASX listed companies that are ranked between 26 and 75 by market
•
•
capitalisation (excluding companies domiciled outside Australia)
Publicly available data for comparable roles at:
Property organisations in Australia such as Charter Hall Group, Dexus, Goodman Group, GPT Group,
Mirvac Group, Scentre Group, Stockland and Vicinity Centres
• Companies where we compete for talent, such as Macquarie Group Limited and AMP Limited.
•
Published remuneration surveys, remuneration trends and other data sourced from
external providers.
• To supplement the above information, we also consider the following three companies as
comparators for Lendlease: Brambles Limited, British Land Company PLC and CapitaLand Limited.
These companies were identified as part of a review that was undertaken during FY21 to determine
which companies align with Lendlease based on quantitative comparisons against key metrics such
as profit, market capitalisation and scale of operations as well as a qualitative overlay that considered
the scope of business lines, employee base and operating environment.

Short Term Award (STA)
This section presents the key features of the STA plan.
Maximum STA opportunity for FY22 has been increased (excluding the Global CEO) through a rebalance of the
remuneration mix as part of adjustments to our Executive Reward Strategy:
• Removal of the RSA, which was not subject to performance based vesting hurdles.
•
Implementation of STA deferral, with 50 per cent deferred into Lendlease securities. The deferred portion will be
released in two equal tranches after one and two years.
STA Design

Quantum
Funding
Key Performance Indicators
How the STA Works
• Global CEO and Executives
•
For FY22, target STA opportunity was as follows:
– Global CEO: 100% of Fixed Remuneration
– Executives (excluding Group Chief Risk Officer): 100% of Fixed Remuneration
– Group Chief Risk Officer: 80% of Fixed Remuneration
• The minimum possible STA outcome is zero
• The maximum STA outcome is limited to 139% of target STA opportunity for the Global CEO and
140% of target STA opportunity for other Executives
• The Board determines the pool of funds to be made available to reward Executives, with reference to
Group financial and non financial performance
• The Board examines safety performance and the overall health of the business (including a broader
set of metrics around origination, sustainability and how we have managed risk)
• Global CEO and Executive scorecards, including:
– 65% Financial Performance (Group Operating Profit After Tax, Development - Completions,
Construction - EBITDA margin, Investment Management - EBITDA margin)
– 35% Non Financial Performance (safety, sustainability, customer and people)
• Refer to page 90 for a summary of the FY22 Global CEO scorecard
•
Lendlease is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all of its employees. While the assessment is
not structured formulaically or as a ‘gateway’ measure, poor health and safety outcomes may lead to
a reduction in STA outcomes for the year
• The People & Culture Committee considers feedback from multiple sources to consider ‘how’
performance outcomes are achieved:
Delivery
•
•
– Executive input: Group Chief Financial Officer and Group Chief Risk Officer
– Board committees: the Audit Committee, Risk Committee, and Sustainability Committee

50% deferred as Rights to receive Lendlease securities released in two equal tranches after one and

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Global CEO STA Scorecard
The following changes were made to the Global STA scorecard for FY22:
• the introduction of metricated KPIs with threshold and maximum performance set in addition to target
• simplification of KPIs and reduction in the number of KPIs
• shifting the KPI weightings to 65% financial KPIs / 35% non financial KPIs (previously 50% / 50%)
• 50% paid as cash and 50% deferred as Rights to receive Lendlease securities released in two equal tranches after one and two years
In FY22 the CEO and the executive team were able to establish an optimised structure and businesses, recalibrate the cost base,
complete a portfolio review and implement a focused business model. This has set the business up in a better position than anticipated
for the end of this financial year. The Board in assessing STA outcomes for the CEO and the executive team have given consideration
to both financial outcomes and strategic progress. Actual performance of the business has either achieved or exceeded the earnings
guidance provided for FY22.

Impact of Safety Incidents on FY22 STA Outcomes
We are deeply saddened by a fatal incident involving a subcontractor worker that occurred on one of our operations in FY22.
We go beyond regulatory reporting requirements and report all fatalities on our sites as we do not consider the lives of contractors,
subcontractors, consultants and community members any different to our employees.
In line with the guiding principles for determining remuneration adjustments arising from safety incidents set out on page 97, the key
factors considered by the Board when determining whether a remuneration adjustment should be made for the fatality that occurred
during FY22 are:
• The project was established with a number of best practice initiatives and had performed safely prior to the
fatal event.
4 Hudson Yards,
New York, USA
• The Board is satisfied based on material from internal and independent external sources currently available
that this incident is not a result of a failure of Lendlease supervision as the relevant area was under
subcontractor management.
• The region met all other EHS metrics targets for FY22.
Based on the assessment of the above factors and materials available at the time, the Board has determined that no adjustments would
be made to the FY22 STA outcome as a result of the fatality, noting that if new information emerges from external investigations, the
Board can reduce future STA outcomes or apply a malus adjustment.
There are no material updates in relation to any ongoing investigations into past fatalities.
Adjusted Global CEO STA outcome
The Board assessed that the Global CEO had performed extremely strongly against his scorecard KPIs. The
progress on the strategic reset is ahead of expectation, and strong momentum has been generated in the
business in the second half. However, having regard to the overall financial result from the actions taken as part
of the reset, in determining the final STA outcome, the Board have exercised discretion to reduce the outcome
on both the financial and non-financial KPIs.
• A total downwards adjustment of 33% has been applied on the metricated scorecard outcome for the Global CEO.
• The final adjusted Global CEO STA outcome is 48% of maximum opportunity.

Long Term Award (LTA)
This section presents the key features of the 2022 LTA (granted in September 2021).
From FY22, LTA awards are granted at maximum opportunity (rather than target). Accordingly, the vesting
schedules have been recalibrated to reflect this change and a straight line vesting approach has been adopted
for added simplicity.
• Maximum LTA quantum has been reduced in line with broader changes to the Executive remuneration mix.

All Executives have termination benefits that are within the limit allowed by the Corporations Act 2001 without
securityholder approval. Specifically, in the case where the Executive is not employed for the full period of
notice, a payment in lieu of notice may be made.
Treatment of unvested awards depends on the reason for termination:
Termination Payment
• Terminated for cause: Awards lapse.
• Terminated for poor performance: Board discretion.
• Resignation (engaged in activities that are competitive with the Group): Awards lapse.
•
‘Good leavers’: Awards remain on foot subject to the original vesting conditions. LTA granted from FY23
onwards are prorated for good leavers based on time served.

or inappropriate.
Bespoke Incentive Award
Denis Hickey
Denis Hickey has been issued a one–off incentive aligning to the successful delivery of Google Development Ventures (GDV) over the
next three years, recognising the criticality of this project.
The Bespoke Incentive reflects a $5,000,000 grant in Performance Rights over a three year performance period from 1 July 2021 to
30 June 2024.
• 70% of Performance Rights will vest based on the achievement of the key milestones for GDV during the performance period,
including the securing of entitlements and capital plans and the commencement of construction for each project.
• 30% of Performance Rights will vest based on customer satisfaction feedback from the client and internal stakeholders at key
touchpoints in the project life cycle, so that GDV milestones are not only delivered within the required timeframes but also to an
exceptional standard.
• There is no retesting on any portion of the Bespoke Incentive that does not vest.
The Board retains an overarching discretion to reduce or forfeit any unvested awards if it considers that the vesting of the awards would
result in receipt of a benefit that was unwarranted or inappropriate.
Performance Rights do not carry dividend rights.
For full details of the key terms of the incentive, refer to the Appendix 3G lodged with the ASX on 1 April 2022.

Board and committee fees are paid as cash. Superannuation contributions are paid in addition to the Board and committee fees outlined
above in accordance with superannuation legislation and are capped at the Maximum Superannuation Contribution Base.
Non Executive Directors are not entitled to retirement benefits other than superannuation.
There were no increases to Non Executive Director fees during FY22.
Travel Fees
Board meetings are scheduled in Australia and in each of the regions where Lendlease operates. As an international company, the Board
program is formulated to reflect the geographic spread of the Lendlease businesses. Generally, the program runs over three to five days
and includes a number of activities outside the formal meeting. These include business briefings, presentations from external sources,
project site visits, client meetings, and networking events with employees and key stakeholders. Where deeper project reviews are
required, the program may take up to five days.
The program is an important element of the Board’s activities to enable the Non Executive Directors to obtain the required deep
understanding of operations across the Group.
Where significant additional time has been spent travelling to fulfil the requirements of the program, fees are paid to compensate Non
Executive Directors for the extra time commitment:

Remuneration Governance and Risk Management
Robust governance is a critical part of Lendlease’s approach to executive remuneration. The diagram below illustrates the roles various
stakeholders play in making remuneration decisions at Lendlease:
Independent Remuneration AdvisorThe Board and People & Culture Committee engage external consultants to provide advice or information. Their input is used to guide Board and Committee decisionsDuring the year, advisors did not provide a remuneration recommendation as defined in Section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001The Board is satisfied that any advice provided by EY was made free from undue influence from any of the KMP given the structure of the engagementManagementThe Global CEO recommends Fixed Remuneration and STA outcomes for his direct reports (for approval by the People & Culture Committee)The Group Chief Financial Officer and Group Chief Risk Officer present on the ‘Health of the Business’ when the Committee is considering STA outcomesRecommends potential approaches for developing and implementing the Executive Reward Strategy and structureProvides information relevant to remuneration decisions and, if appropriate liaises with advisors to provide factual information relating to company processes, practices and other business issues; and provide management’s perspectivesAudit CommitteeAssists in setting and assessing financial targets for remuneration purposesAssesses and advises of any audit matters which may impact remuneration outcomesThe Chair of the Audit Committee is a member of the People & Culture Committee Risk CommitteeAdvises of risk issues and/or conduct matters to assist in determining an appropriate Risk adjustment for STA outcomesThe Chair of the Risk Committee is a member of the People & Culture Committee Sustainability CommitteeAssists in setting and assessing Safety/Sustainability related Key Performance Indicators People & Culture Committee Assists in establishing appropriate policies for people management and Reviews and recommends the goals, performance and remuneration of Undertakes a holistic assessment of annual performance when determining STA outcomes, including input from other Committees and ManagementRegularly considers matters outside of remuneration – including organisational culture, talent development and succession, and feedback from employees through Our People SurveyBoardThe Board has overall responsibility for Executive and Non Executive Director remuneration at LendleaseThe Board assesses the performance of and determines the remuneration outcomes for the Global CEORisk management and governance processes apply across remuneration timelines, aligned with our business cycle.

Overall Board Discretion • The Board makes, reviews and approves decisions concerning executive remuneration throughout the
year. The Board, uses its discretion to influence individual outcomes or to steer management towards
appropriate outcomes.
Malus
• The Board retains an overarching discretion to reduce or forfeit any unvested awards (during the deferral
Guiding principles

period beyond the performance testing period) if it considers that vesting of such awards would result in the
participant receiving a benefit that was unwarranted or inappropriate.
• To inform robust decision making in relation to remuneration adjustments arising from safety incidents, the
Board formalised a set of guiding principles and relevant factors during the year. The key guiding principles
are as follows:
– Our objective is to learn from incidents and to reinforce an open dialogue and safety culture. Our people
must have confidence that sharing safety related information supports this objective and helps to identify
how we will adapt in the future.
– As the facts and circumstances surrounding each incident are unique, decision making is not prescriptive or
formulaic and requires the application of judgement.
– To facilitate a consistent approach to decision making, rather than the application of a consistent outcome,
the following set of relevant factors are used by the Board to evaluate the application of any remuneration
adjustments to be made arising from safety incidents:
Safety Leadership
Safety Performance
Findings
Availability of new information
How is safety leadership demonstrated in the relevant
business / project?
How has the relevant business / project performed against safety
performance indicators?
In the event of a fatality, what was Lendlease's role based on
internal investigations?
As events unfold over time, has new and pertinent information
emerged from external investigations?
Change of Control
• The early vesting of any unvested awards may be permitted by the Board in other limited circumstances
such as a change in control of Lendlease. In these circumstances the Board will determine the timing and
proportion of any unvested awards that vest.

Unvested LTI / LTA
• Until the Mandatory Securityholding requirement is reached, 50 per cent of any vested equity awards
(Deferred STI, Deferred STA, RSA, LTI or LTA) will be subject to a disposal restriction (for Executives based
in Australia).
•
•
Executives based outside of Australia are required to achieve the Mandatory Securityholding requirement
within six years of their appointment to a KMP role.
Progress toward the minimum requirement is outlined in the Executive Equity Holdings table on page 100.
Securities Trading Policy • The Lendlease Securities Trading Policy applies to all employees of the Lendlease Group. In accordance with
the policy, Directors and Executives may only deal in Lendlease securities during designated periods.
Hedging
• Directors and Executives must not enter into transactions or arrangements that operate to limit the economic
risk of unvested entitlements to Lendlease securities. No Director or Executive may enter into a margin loan
arrangement in respect of unvested Lendlease securities.
• Deferred STI, Deferred STA, RSA, LTI and LTA awards are subject to the Securities Trading Policy, which
prohibits Executives from entering into any type of ‘protection arrangements’ (including hedging, derivatives
and warrants) in respect of those awards before vesting.
Independent Advisor
Governance Protocols
•
Strict governance protocols are observed to so that advisors’ advice to the Committee is made free from
undue influence by Executive KMP:
– Advisors are engaged by, and report directly to, the Chair of the People & Culture Committee
– The agreement for the provision of any remuneration consulting services is executed by the Chair of the
People & Culture Committee on behalf of the Board
– Any reports delivered by advisors were provided directly to the Chair of the People & Culture
Committee; and
– Advisors are permitted, where approved by the People & Culture Committee Chair, to speak to
management to understand company processes, practices and other business issues and obtain
management’s perspectives.

1. 2022 remuneration is reported in AUD based on the 12 month average historic foreign exchange rates for FY22 (rounded to two decimal places): SGD 0.98 (applied to Justin
Gabbani), USD 0.72 (applied to Denis Hickey) and GBP 0.55 (applied to Neil Martin). 2021 remuneration is reported in AUD based on the 12 month average historic foreign
exchange rates for FY21 (rounded to two decimal places): SGD 1.00 (applied to Justin Gabbani), USD 0.75 (applied to Denis Hickey) and GBP 0.55 (applied to Neil Martin).
2. Security based payments reflect the accounting expense on a fair value basis. For all Executives other than Neil Martin, security based payments are issued as indeterminate
rights and performance rights. For Neil Martin, Deferred STI (including his Executive Deferred Award) is issued as securities. LTI/LTA includes the accounting expense for the
RSA. For Denis Hickey, this also includes the accounting expense for his bespoke incentive award relating to the successful delivery of GDV over the next three years.
3. Includes the payment of cash allowances such as motor vehicle allowance and the value of the distriibution amounts paid as cash on the RSA. For Neil Martin this also includes
cash allowances paid in lieu of pension contributions.
4. Reflects 50 per cent of the FY22 STA that is paid as cash in September 2022.
5. Non monetary benefits may include items such as car parking, relocation and expatriate benefits (such as house rental, health insurance, shipping of goods and tax return
preparation), motor vehicle costs, travel benefits and annual leave.
6. Superannuation includes the value of insurance premiums funded by Lendlease for Australian Executives who are members of the Lendlease default superannuation fund.

10.As a ‘Good Leaver’, unvested LTI, LTA and Deferred STI awards remain on foot and subject to the original vesting conditions. The security based payment accounting expense
for FY21 therefore includes up to three years of each unvested award expense that has been accelerated and disclosed in total for FY21, including those amounts which would
otherwise have been included in future year disclosures. All unvested equity awards that remain on foot following retirement are still subject to the original performance
conditions and will be tested at the relevant testing date. Depending on performance, these awards may have nil value. To the extent these awards do not vest when tested,
the accounting expense that has been previously booked will be reversed.
11. Johannes Dekker ceased as a KMP on 30 June 2021 and remuneration reflects time as a KMP.
12.Tarun Gupta resigned effective 29 November 2020 and remuneration reflects time as a KMP. All unvested equity awards were forfeited upon resignation. Additionally, Tarun

b. Significant Changes in State of Affairs
There have been no significant changes in the Group’s state of affairs.
c. Events Subsequent to Balance Date
On 14 July 2022, Lendlease and Mitsubishi Estate Asia formed a joint venture to acquire the One Circular Quay development in Sydney
for approximately $800 million in up front and deferred consideration, with an additional $50 million payment subject to certain project
outcomes. Mitsubishi Estate currently holds a 19.9 per cent interest in the joint venture. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
this will increase to 66.7 per cent and Lendlease’s ownership will reduce to 33.3 per cent. Lendlease will receive an acquisition
fee on settlement, earn development management and construction management fees, equity returns on its capital and potentially
performance fees.
On 9 August 2022, the Group exchanged contracts with a third party to acquire a further 13 per cent interest in the asset management
income stream of the Group’s Military Housing portfolio, through the existing DoD Asset Management Holdings joint venture. The
Group received $86 million in consideration on financial close, generating an estimated pre tax gain on sale of $73 million.
There were no other material events subsequent to the end of financial reporting period.
d. Security Options
No security options were issued during the year by the Company or any of its controlled entities, and there are no such options
on issue.
e. Indemnification and Insurance of Directors and Officers
Rule 12 of the Company’s Constitution provides for indemnification in favour of each of the Directors named on pages 66 to 70 of
this report and the officers of the Company or of wholly owned subsidiaries or related entities of the Company (Officers) to the extent
permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. Rule 12 does not indemnify a Director, Company Secretary or Officer for any liability involving
a lack of good faith.
In conformity with Rule 12 of the Company’s Constitution, the Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access
with each of the Directors named on pages 66 to 70 of this report and for officers of the Company and Directors of related entities
of the Company. The indemnities operate to the full extent permitted by law and are not subject to a monetary limit. The Company is
not aware of any liability having arisen, and no claims have been made during or since the financial year under the Deeds of Indemnity,
Insurance and Access.
For unrelated entities in which the Group has an interest, Deeds of Indemnity may be entered into between Lendlease Corporation
Limited and the Director or Officer. Since the date of the last report, the Company has not entered into any separate Deeds of
Indemnity with a Director or Officer of an unrelated entity.
No indemnity has been granted to an auditor of the Company in their capacity as auditor of the Company.
Governance
105
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Rule 12 of the Constitution also permits the Company to purchase and maintain
insurance or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance for Officers against any liability incurred as an Officer of the Company or of a
related body corporate. This may include a liability for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in defending proceedings, whether civil
or criminal, regardless of their outcome. Due to confidentiality obligations and undertakings of the policy, no further details in respect of
the premium or policy can be disclosed.
f. Environmental Regulation
The Group is subject to various state and federal environmental regulations in Australia.
The Directors are not aware of any material non compliance with environmental regulations pertaining to the operations or activities
during the period covered by this report. In addition, the Lendlease Group is registered and publicly reports the annual performance
of its Australian operations under the requirements of the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act 2007 and Energy
Efficiency Opportunities (EEO) Act 2006.
All Lendlease businesses continue to operate an integrated Environment, Health and Safety Management System, ensuring that non
compliance risks and opportunities for environmental improvements are identified, managed and reported accordingly.
g. Non Audit Services
During the year, KPMG, the Company’s auditor, performed certain other services in addition to its statutory duties.
The Board has considered the other services provided during the year by the auditor and, in accordance with written advice provided
by resolution of the Audit Committee, is satisfied that the provision of those services during the year by the auditor is compatible with,
and did not compromise, the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 for the following reason:
• All other services were subject to the corporate governance procedures adopted by the Group and the Audit Committee is satisfied
that those services do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor.
The other services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor’s own work, acting in a management or
decision making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards.
A copy of the Lead Auditor's Independence Declaration, as required under Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, is included at
the end of the Directors’ Report.
Details of the amounts paid to the auditor of the Company, KPMG, and its related practices for audit and other services provided during
the year are set out below:

Lendlease Corporation Limited (the Company) is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The consolidated financial report of the
Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 comprises the Company and its controlled entities including Lendlease Trust (LLT)
(together referred to as the consolidated entity or the Group). The Group is a for profit entity and is an international property and
investments group. Further information about the Group’s primary activities is included in Note 1 ‘Segment Reporting’.
Shares in the Company and units in LLT are traded as one security under the name of Lendlease Group on the Australian Securities
Exchange (ASX). The Company is deemed to control LLT for accounting purposes and therefore LLT is consolidated into the Group’s
financial report. The issued units of LLT, however, are not owned by the Company and are therefore presented separately in the
consolidated entity Statement of Financial Position within equity, notwithstanding that the unitholders of LLT are also the shareholders
of the Company.
The consolidated financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors on 22 August 2022.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial report is a general purpose financial report which:
• Has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (AASBs) adopted by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board, and the Corporations Act 2001
• Complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board
• Is presented in Australian dollars ($). At June 2022, all values have been rounded off to the nearest million dollars unless otherwise
indicated, in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191
• Has re-presented comparative financial information in the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income and related
Notes for discontinued operations during the year. The comparative information in the Statement of Financial Position, Statement
of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and related Notes have not been re-presented. Refer to Note 33 ‘Discontinued
Operations’ for further details
• Is prepared under the historical cost basis except for the following assets and liabilities, which are stated at their fair value:
derivative financial instruments, fair value through profit or loss investments, investment properties, and liabilities for cash settled
share based compensation plans. Recognised assets and liabilities that are hedged are stated at fair value in respect of the risk
that is hedged. Refer to the specific accounting policies within the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the basis of
valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
Significant accounting policies have been:
• Included in the relevant notes to which the policies relate, while other significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 38
‘Other Significant Accounting Policies’
• Consistently applied to all financial years presented in the consolidated financial statements and by all entities in the Group, except
as explained in Note 37 ‘Impact of New and Revised Accounting Standards’.
The preparation of a financial report that complies with AASBs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions.
• This can affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual
results may differ from these estimates
• Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively
• The significant accounting policies highlight information about accounting judgements in applying accounting policies that have the
most significant effects on reported amounts and further information about estimated uncertainties that have a significant risk of
resulting in material adjustments within the next financial year
• These significant accounting estimates and judgements have been considered in the context of the COVID pandemic and the
impact of the other economic conditions.
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position as current or non current.
• Current assets include assets held primarily for trading purposes, cash and cash equivalents, and assets expected to be realised in,
or intended for sale or use in, the course of the Group’s operating cycle or within the next 12 months. All other assets are classified
as non current
• Current liabilities include liabilities held primarily for trading purposes, liabilities expected to be settled in the course of the Group’s
operating cycle and those liabilities due within one year from the reporting date. All other liabilities are classified as non current.
At 30 June 2022, the Group is in a net current deficit (current liabilities exceeds current assets) but does not anticipate a significant
liquidity risk in the next 12 months. This is due to the Group’s strong financial profile, which includes significant committed undrawn
facilities and low gearing ratios.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. In preparing the financial statements, including assessing the going
concern basis of accounting, the Group has considered the ongoing COVID pandemic and other economic conditions.
The Group has:
• $2,647 million in undrawn facilities. See Note 16 ‘Borrowings and Financing Arrangements’
• $1,297 million in cash and cash equivalents. See Note 14 ‘Cash and Cash Equivalents’.
Following this assessment, the Group is well placed to manage its financing and future commitments over the next 12 months from the
date of the financial statements.

Section A. Performance
In addition to the statutory result, Operating Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (Operating EBITDA)
and Operating Profit after Tax (Operating PAT) are the key measures used to assess the Group’s performance. This section
of the Financial Report focuses on disclosure that enhances a user’s understanding of Operating EBITDA and Operating PAT.
Segment Reporting below provides a breakdown of profit and revenue by the operational activity and region. The key line items
of the Income Statement, along with their components, provide detail behind the reported balances. Group performance will
also impact the earnings per stapled security and dividend payout, therefore disclosure on these items has been included in
this section. Further information and analysis on performance and allocation of resources can be found in the Performance and
Outlook section of the Directors’ Report.
1. Segment Reporting
Accounting Policies
The Group’s segments are Investments, Development, Construction and Non core. The Group has identified these operating
segments based on the distinct products and services provided by each segment, the distinct target return profile and allocation
of resources for each segment, and internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Global Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director (the Chief Operating Decision Maker) in assessing performance, determining the allocation of resources,
setting operational targets, and managing the Group.
The Group has presented the segments around business activity due to the Group's business model being broadly consistent in all
regions. Additional disclosure has also been included for Operating EBITDA, Operating PAT and Statutory Profit by region.
The Group reports Operating EBITDA and Operating PAT as its primary earnings metrics, in addition to the statutory result.
Operating PAT is defined as Statutory profit adjusted for non-cash backed property related revaluation increases or decreases
of Investment property, Other financial assets and Equity accounted investments that are classified in the Investments segment,
other non-cash adjustments or non-trading items such as impairment losses relating to goodwill and other intangibles, and non-
trading items such as restructuring costs. Operating EBITDA is before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation. Operating
EBITDA and Operating PAT includes revaluation increases or decreases of Investment properties under construction that are
classified in the Development segment.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker receives information and assesses segment performance under these metrics. Operating
EBITDA and Operating PAT are used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant
in evaluating the results of certain reportable segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. The Group
does not consider corporate activities to be an operating segment.
The operating segments are as follows:
Investments
Operates across all four geographic regions. Services include owning and/or managing investments. The segment includes an
investment management platform and the Group’s ownership interests in residential, office, retail, industrial, retirement and
infrastructure investment assets.
Development
Operates in all four geographic regions. Its products and services include the development of inner city mixed use developments,
apartments, communities, retirement, retail, commercial assets and social and economic infrastructure. Construction margin earned on
development projects is recognised in this segment.
Construction
Operates across all four geographic regions. Its products and services include the provision of project management, design and
construction services, predominantly in the commercial, residential, mixed use, defence and social infrastructure sectors.
Non core
Non core includes the provision of project management, design and construction services in the Australian infrastructure sector. These
products and services represent the retained Engineering and retained Services projects. The discontinued operations referenced
throughout the financial statements are included in this segment. Discontinued operations represent the Services business sold during
the period and the Engineering business sold in the prior period, excluding the projects retained by the Group. Refer to Note 33
‘Discontinued Operations’ for further detail.

1. The Development segment includes $73 million (June 2021: $88 million) of revaluation gains from Equity accounted investments and $nil million (June 2021: $4 million) of
revaluation gains from Investment properties classified as Development.
2. Excludes Investments segment revaluations.
3. Excludes depreciation and amortisation, Impairment losses relating to intangibles and Restructuring costs.
4. Operating profit before tax of $344 million (June 2021: $275 million) plus Investment segment revaluations (pre-tax) of $74 million (June 2021: $19 million), less impairment losses
relating to intangibles (pre tax) of $83 million (June 2021: $nil) and restructuring costs (pre tax) of $484 million (June 2021: $nil), reconciles to Loss before tax from continuing
operations of $177 million (June 2021: profit of $274 million) as disclosed in the Income Statement and Profit before tax for discontinued operations of $28 million (June 2021:
$20 million) as disclosed in Note 33 ‘Discontinued Operations’.

The Non core segment operating profit after tax includes overhead costs associated with managing the completion of the remaining retained projects

core segment given these costs relate to supporting the growth and operations of the Core segments.

3. Earnings Per Share/Stapled Security (EPS/EPSS)
Accounting Policies
The Group presents basic and diluted EPS/EPSS in the Income Statement. This is a key performance measure for the Group.
Refer to further details in the Managing and Measuring Value - Financial section of this Annual Report.
Basic EPS/EPSS is determined by dividing Profit/(loss) after tax attributable to members of the Company and Group (excluding
any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares/securities) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares/securities
outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares/securities issued during the financial year.
Diluted EPS/EPSS is determined by adjusting the Profit/(loss) after tax attributable to members of the Company and Group, and
the weighted average number of ordinary shares/securities outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares/
securities. The Group currently does not have any dilutive potential ordinary shares/securities. Dilution occurs when treasury
shares and employee share options are included in outstanding shares.
The issued units of Lendlease Trust (LLT) are presented separately within equity, and therefore the profit attributable to LLT is
excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per Company share presented in the Income Statement.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued
Section A. Performance continued
4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Accounting Policies
Provision of Construction and Development services
Construction services include project management, design and construction services predominantly in the commercial,
residential, mixed use, defence and social infrastructure sectors. Development services include development fees earned on
development of inner city mixed use developments, retirement, retail, commercial assets and social and economic infrastructure.
Contracts with customers to provide Construction or Development services can include either one performance obligation or
multiple performance obligations within each contract. The Group assesses each of its contracts individually and where there are
separate performance obligations identified, the transaction price is allocated based on the relative standalone selling prices of
the services provided. Typically, the Construction or Development services in contracts are not considered distinct as the services
are highly interrelated and an integrated bundle of services and therefore are accounted for as a single performance obligation.
The transaction price for each contract may include variable consideration in the form of contract variations or modifications, and
contract claims (collectively, ‘Modifications’). Variable consideration may also include performance or other incentive fees. The
transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring
promised goods or services to a customer per the contract.
Variable consideration is only included in the transaction price for a contract to the extent it is highly probable that a significant
reversal of that revenue will not occur, which is an area of accounting judgement. Factors considered in assessing whether the
estimated revenue associated with Modifications should be recognised include the following:
i.
Status of negotiations with customers
ii. The contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the Modifications
iii. Additional costs incurred were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and for which entitlement
contractually exists
iv. Modification related costs are identifiable, measurable, and considered reasonable in view of the work performed
v. Evidence supporting the Modification is objective and verifiable, which may include independent third-party advice
vi. Commercial and market factors specific to the Modifications
vii. Historical experience in resolving Modifications.
This assessment is reviewed each reporting period or when facts and circumstances change during the reporting period.
Revenue is recognised over time, typically based on an input method using an estimate of costs incurred to date as a percentage
of total estimated costs. These contracts are typically executed on the customer’s land so they control the assets as they are
being built or the customer benefits from the service as the work is performed. Differences between amounts recognised as
revenue and amounts billed to customers are recognised as contract assets or liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position.
The measurement of revenue is an area of accounting judgement. Management uses judgement to estimate:
i.
Progress in satisfying the performance obligations within the contract, which includes estimating contract costs expected to
be incurred to satisfy performance obligations
ii. The probability of the amount to be recognised as variable consideration for approved variations and claims where the final
price has not been agreed with the customer.
Revenue is invoiced based on the terms of each individual contract, which may include a periodic billing schedule or achievement
of specific milestones. Invoices are issued under commercial payment terms which are typically 30 days from when an invoice
is issued.
A provision for loss making contracts is recorded for the difference between the expected costs of fulfilling a contract
and the expected remaining economic benefits to be received where the forecast remaining costs exceed the forecast
remaining benefits.
Provision of Investment services
Investment services include funds management, asset management, leasing and origination services.
Each contract with a customer to provide Investment services is typically one performance obligation with revenue recognised
over time as services are rendered. Typically, our performance obligation is to manage a client’s capital and/or property for a
specified period of time and is delivered as a series of daily performance obligations over time.
The transaction price for each contract may include variable consideration in the form of performance fees. Variable
consideration is only included in the transaction price for a contract to the extent it is highly probable that a significant reversal of
that revenue will not occur. The Group assesses probability of receiving variable consideration using a combination of commercial
and market factors, and historical experience.
Revenue is invoiced either monthly or quarterly based on the terms of each individual contract. Invoices are issued under
commercial payment terms which are typically 30 days from when an invoice is issued.
Financial Statements
125
Accounting Policies continued
Sale of Development Properties
The Group develops and sells residential land lots and built form products, including residential apartments, commercial and retail
buildings. Sales of residential land lots and apartments typically are recognised at a point in time, with each contract treated as a
single performance obligation to transfer control of an asset to a customer. Residential land lots and apartments are recognised
on settlement with the customer.
The sale of retail, commercial and mixed use assets may include land, construction, development management and investment
service components. Where there are multiple components within one contract, the transaction price is allocated based on the
standalone selling prices of each component, typically using the residual approach, and revenue is recognised based on the
policies noted above. Sales of commercial and retail buildings are recognised when the customer obtains control of the asset
based on the specific terms and conditions of the sales contract.
The Group discounts deferred proceeds to reflect the time value of money where the period between the transfer of control of
a development property and receipt of payment from the customer exceeds one year. Deferred proceeds from customers are
recognised in trade and other receivables where the right to receive payment is unconditional. Deposits received in advance from
customers are recognised as a contract liability until the performance obligation has been met.
The measurement of revenue from the sale of development properties is an area of accounting judgement as it requires
management to exercise judgement in valuing the individual components of a development property sale, given the due
consideration to cost inputs, market conditions and commercial factors. The recognition and determination of when control
passes requires management judgement and is considered an area of accounting judgement.
Proceeds from the sale of residential land lots and apartments are received upon settlement, which typically occurs between
6-12 weeks following practical completion on the asset. Proceeds from the sale of retail, commercial and mixed use assets are
received in accordance with the specific terms of each contract.
The Group may enter a PLLACes (Presold Lendlease Apartment Cash Flows) transaction for certain residential apartment
buildings from time to time. This involves the Group receiving an upfront cash inflow from third party investors (investors)
in exchange for selling the investors the rights to the cash proceeds that are due from customers once the apartments are
completed. When customers settle their apartments the Group does not receive any cash proceeds nor does it pay any amounts
to the investors as the customers pay the investors directly. On entry into a PLLACes transaction the cash inflow is disclosed as
an operating cash inflow in the Statement of Cash Flows which typically occurs over a year in advance of the revenue recognition
from the sale of the apartments. At the same time, an Other payables – PLLACes is also recognised within Trade and Other
Payables and is derecognised as revenue once settlement of the apartments occurs.

5. Share of Profit of Equity Accounted Investments
Accounting Policies
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The share of profit recognised under
the equity method is the Group’s share of the investment’s profit or loss based on ownership interest held. Associates (including
partnerships) are entities in which the Group, as a result of its voting rights, has significant influence, but not control or joint
control, over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control
of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
For associates, this is from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases, and for
joint ventures, this is from the date joint control commences until the date joint control ceases.

revaluation gains and losses recognised in the Investments segment adjustment in Note 1 ‘Segment Reporting’. Share of profit from Associates and Joint Ventures include
$7 million (June 2021: $nil) and $66 million (June 2021: $88 million gain), respectively, in revaluation gains in the Development segment.
6. Other Income
Accounting Policies
Net gains or losses on sale/transfer of investments, including consolidated entities and Equity Accounted Investments are
recognised when an unconditional contract is in place.

7. Other Expenses
Accounting Policies
Other expenses in general are recognised as incurred.
Employee Benefit Expenses
Employee benefits are expensed as the related service by the employee is provided and includes both equity and cash based
payment transactions. Employee benefits recognised in the Income Statement are net of recoveries.
For cash bonuses, the Group recognises an accrued liability for the amount expected to be paid. This is based on a formula that
takes into consideration the profit attributable to the Group’s securityholders after certain adjustments. Refer to Note 35a ‘Short
Term Incentive (STI)’ for further detail.
Share Based Compensation
The Group operates equity settled share based compensation plans that are linked to Lendlease’s security price. The fair value of
the equity received in exchange for the grant is recognised as an expense and a corresponding increase in equity, in the Equity
Compensation Reserve. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of
the securities granted.
The fair value is primarily determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Refer to Note 35j ‘Amounts Recognised in the
Financial Statements’ for further detail. Management considers the fair value assigned to be an area of estimation uncertainty as it
requires judgements on Lendlease’s security price and whether vesting conditions will be satisfied.
At each balance sheet date, the Group revises its estimates of the entitlement due. It recognises the impact of revision of
original estimates on non market conditions, if any, in the Income Statement, and a corresponding adjustment to equity over the
remaining vesting period. Changes in entitlement for equity settled share based compensation plans are not recognised if they fail
to vest due to market conditions not being met.
Superannuation Accumulation Plan Expense
All employees in the Australia region are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death from the Group’s superannuation
accumulation plan. The majority of these employees are party to a defined contribution plan and receive fixed contributions
from the Group. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are
recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. The Group also operates a defined benefit superannuation plan,
membership of which is now closed. Refer to Note 34 ‘Defined Benefit Plans’ for further detail.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets, subject to impairment tests, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine
whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. The
calculation of this recoverable amount is dependent on the type of asset. The material assets’ accounting policies will contain
further information on these calculations.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses
are recognised in the Income Statement.
Reversals of Impairment
Impairment losses on assets can be reversed (other than goodwill) when there is a subsequent increase in the recoverable
amount. The increase could be due to a specific event, the indication that impairment may no longer exist or there is a change in
estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Lease Expense
Short term lease and low value lease payments, including outgoings, are recognised in the Income Statement on a straight line
basis over the term of the lease.
Depreciation and Amortisation
Depreciation on owned assets is charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of items
of property, plant and equipment. Amortisation is provided on leasehold improvements over the remaining term of the lease.
Most plant is depreciated over a period not exceeding 20 years, furniture and fittings over three to 15 years, motor vehicles over
four to eight years and computer equipment over three years.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the
useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

8. Finance Revenue and Finance Costs
Accounting Policies
Finance revenue is recognised as it is earned using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts
estimated future cash receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument. The discount is then recognised as finance
revenue over the remaining life of the financial instrument.
Finance costs include interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings and amortisation of costs incurred in
connection with the arrangement of new borrowings facilities. Costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings
are capitalised and amortised over the life of the borrowings. Finance costs are expensed immediately as incurred unless they
relate to acquisition and development of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets that take more than six months to prepare
for their intended use or sale. Finance costs related to qualifying assets are capitalised.

9. Taxation
Accounting Policies
Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the Income
Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Under
current Australian income tax law, LLT is not liable for income tax, including capital gains tax, to the extent that unitholders are
attributed the taxable income of LLT.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the financial year, using applicable tax rates (and tax laws) at
the balance sheet date in each jurisdiction, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous financial years.
Deferred tax is the expected tax payable in future periods as a result of past transactions or events and is calculated by
comparing the accounting balance sheet to the tax balance sheet. Temporary differences are provided for any differences in the
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities between the accounting and tax balance sheets. The following temporary differences
are not provided for:
• The initial recognition of taxable goodwill
• The initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable profit
• Differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they are not likely to reverse in the foreseeable future.
Measurement of deferred tax is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and
liabilities, using applicable tax rates (and tax laws) at the balance sheet date.
Recognition of deferred tax assets is only to the extent it is probable that future taxable profits will be available so as the related
tax asset will be realised. Deferred tax assets may include the following:
• Deductible temporary differences
• Unused tax losses
• Unused tax credits.
Management considers the estimation of future taxable profits to be an area of estimation uncertainty as a change in any of
the assumptions used in budgeting and forecasting would have an impact on the future profitability of the Group. The Group
prepares financial budgets and forecasts, covering a five year period, which are reviewed on a regular basis. These forecasts
and budgets form the basis of future profitability to support the carrying value of the deferred tax assets. The performance
of the Group is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, which are outside the control of the
Group, including the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, ability to access funding, oversupply and
demand conditions and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
Presentation of deferred tax assets and liabilities can be offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity or on different tax entities,
but are intended to be settled on a net basis or to be realised simultaneously.
Tax Consolidation
The Company is the head entity of the Australian Tax Consolidated Group comprising all the Australian wholly owned
subsidiaries, excluding LLT. As a consequence, all members of the Australian Tax Consolidation Group are taxed as a single entity.

10. Events Subsequent to Balance Date
On 14 July 2022, Lendlease and Mitsubishi Estate Asia formed a joint venture to acquire the One Circular Quay development in Sydney
for approximately $800 million in up front and deferred consideration, with an additional $50 million payment subject to certain project
outcomes. Mitsubishi Estate currently holds a 19.9 per cent interest in the joint venture. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions,
this will increase to 66.7 per cent and Lendlease’s ownership will reduce to 33.3 per cent. Lendlease will receive an acquisition
fee on settlement, earn development management and construction management fees, equity returns on its capital and potentially
performance fees.
On 9 August 2022, the Group exchanged contracts with a third party to acquire a further 13 per cent interest in the asset management
income stream of the Group’s Military Housing portfolio, through the existing DoD Asset Management Holdings joint venture. The
Group received $86 million in consideration on financial close, generating an estimated pre tax gain on sale of $73 million.
There were no other material events subsequent to the end of the financial reporting period.

Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements continued
Section B. Investment
Investment in the Development pipeline, joint ventures in property projects, the retirement sector, and more passive assets, such
as property funds, drive the current and future performance of the Group. This section includes disclosures for property such as
Inventories and indirect property assets such as Equity Accounted Investments and Other Financial Assets contained within the
Statement of Financial Position.
11. Inventories
Accounting Policies
Development Properties
Property acquired for development and sale in the ordinary course of business is carried at the lower of cost and Net Realisable
Value (NRV).
The cost of development properties includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the property, preparing it for sale and borrowing
costs incurred.
The NRV is the estimated selling price, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Management considers the
estimation of both selling prices and costs of completion to be an area of estimation uncertainty, as these estimations take into
consideration market conditions affecting each property and the underlying strategy for selling the property.
The recoverable amount of each property is assessed at each balance date and accounting judgement is required to assess
whether a provision is raised where cost (including costs to complete) exceeds NRV.
Inventories are expensed as cost of sales in the Income Statement. Management uses accounting judgement in determining
the following:
• The apportionment of cost of sales through sales revenue
• The amount of cost of sales, which includes costs incurred to date and final forecast costs
• The nature of the expenditure, which may include acquisition costs, development costs, borrowing costs and those costs
incurred in preparing the property for sale.
Construction Contract Assets
The gross amount of Construction and Development Work in Progress consists of costs attributable to work performed, including
recoverable pre contract and project bidding costs and emerging profit after providing for any foreseeable losses. In applying the
accounting policies on providing for these losses, accounting judgement is required.
Construction contract assets are presented as part of inventories for all contracts in which revenue recognised (costs incurred
plus recognised profits) exceed progress billings. If progress billings and/or recognised contract losses exceed revenue
recognised, then the difference is presented in Trade and other payables as a Construction contract liability.

1. The Group has considered the impacts of the COVID pandemic and other economic conditions on its recoverability assessment of inventories at 30 June 2022. As part of
its semi annual review of development property projects, the Group has considered sales volumes in the short term, production timeframes, and potential increased costs for
its projects. The carrying value of the Group’s projects has not been materially impacted during the period due to their long dated nature, except for those projects impacted
by the revised strategy announcement and business review undertaken by the Global CEO during the financial year. The Development impairment expense of $289 million
(30 June 2021: $nil) and Property inventories impairment expense of $12 million (30 June 2021: $13 million reversal) as disclosed in Note 7 'Other Expenses', have been
recorded net against the inventories balance. Refer to Note 7 ‘Other Expenses’ for further detail.
Financial Statements

12. Equity Accounted Investments
Accounting Policies
Equity Accounted Investments (Associates and Joint Ventures)
As outlined in Note 5 ‘Share of Profit of Equity Accounted Investments’, investments in Associates and Joint Ventures are equity
accounted. The share of investment recognised under the equity method is the Group’s share of the investment’s net assets
based on ownership interest held.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are carried at the lower of the equity accounted carrying amount and the recoverable
amount. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the equity accounted investment (including assets that
form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture entity), the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of
further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has obligations in respect of the associate or joint venture.
Dividends from associates and joint ventures represent a return on the Group’s investment and, as such, are applied as a
reduction to the carrying value of the investment. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investments
are eliminated against the investment in the associate or joint venture to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate
or joint venture. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no
evidence of impairment. Other movements in associates’ and joint ventures’ reserves are recognised directly in the Group’s
consolidated reserves.
Development - Investment Property
Investments in this category hold investment property that is under construction and is subject to periodic revaluations. These
revaluations represent development profit earned and are recognised in the Development segment.
Development - Inventory
Investments in this category contain inventory under development and are held at cost. Revenue is recognised once the inventory
settles with the customer and is recognised in the Development segment.
Service Concession Arrangements (SCAs)
The Group equity accounts its investment in project companies with SCAs through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). These
arrangements provide facilities management and maintenance services with terms generally of 25 to 30 years. They also
incorporate contractual obligations to make available the individual assets for their prescribed use and, where necessary, overhaul
or replace major items of plant and equipment related to the assets with payment obtained through periodic draw downs from
the relevant government authorities.
Joint Operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets
and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement.
Investments in joint operations are accounted for by recognising amounts on a line by line basis in accordance with the
accounting standards applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in relation to the Group’s interest in the
joint operation.

Financial Statements
141
Section C. Liquidity and Working Capital
The ability of the Group to fund the continued investment in the development pipeline, invest in new opportunities and meet
current commitments is dependent on available cash, undrawn debt facilities and access to third party capital. This section
contains disclosures on the financial assets, financial liabilities, cash flows and equity that are required to finance the Group’s
activities, including existing commitments and the liquidity risk exposure associated with financial liabilities. The section also
contains disclosures for the Group’s trading assets, excluding inventories, and the trading liabilities incurred as a result of trading
activities used to generate the Group’s performance.
14. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Accounting Policies
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, bank overdrafts and other short term highly
liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash within three months and which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts (if applicable) are shown as a current liability on the Statement of Financial Position and are shown as a reduction
to the cash balance in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at
amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under the amortised cost method the difference between the amount
initially recognised and the redemption value is recorded in the Income Statement over the period of the borrowing on an
effective interest basis. Borrowings are referred to in this section using their redemption value when describing the terms
and conditions.

Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognised as a
deduction from equity.
When share capital recognised as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable
costs, is recognised as a change in equity. Repurchased shares are typically classified as treasury shares and are recognised as a
deduction from equity.

17.a. Issuance of Securities
As at 30 June 2022, the Group had 689 million stapled securities on issue, equivalent to the number of Lendlease Corporation shares
and Lendlease Trust (LLT) units on issue as at that date. The issued units of LLT are not owned by the Company and are therefore
presented separately in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position within equity.

17.b. Security Accumulation Plans
The Group’s Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was reactivated in February 2011. The last date for receipt of an election notice for
participation in the DRP is 30 August 2022. The issue price is the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of
Lendlease Group stapled securities traded (on the Australian Securities Exchange) for the period of five consecutive business days
immediately following the record date, commencing on 30 August 2022, for determining entitlements to distribution. If that price is less
than 50 cents, the issue price will be 50 cents. Stapled securities issued under the DRP rank equally with all other stapled securities
on issue.
17.c. Terms and Conditions
Issued capital for Lendlease Corporation Limited comprises ordinary shares fully paid. A stapled security represents one share in the
Company stapled to one unit in LLT. Stapled securityholders have the right to receive declared dividends from the Company and
distributions from LLT and are entitled to one vote per stapled security at securityholders’ meetings. Ordinary stapled securityholders
rank after all creditors in repayment of capital.
The Group does not have authorised capital or par value in respect of its issued stapled securities.
18. Capital Management
The Group assesses capital management as part of its broader strategic plan. The Group focuses on interrelated financial parameters,
including Return on Equity, earnings growth and borrowing capacity. The Group also monitors its gearing ratio, leverage ratio, interest
coverage ratio and weighted average cost of debt and maturity profile. These are all taken into account when the Group makes
decisions on how to invest its capital and evaluate its existing investments.
The Group’s capital includes total equity, borrowings and other interest bearing liabilities. When investing capital, the Group’s objective
is to deliver strong total securityholder returns and to maintain an investment grade credit rating by maintaining an appropriate financial
profile. The Moody’s/Fitch long term credit ratings at 30 June 2022 are Baa3/BBB- respectively (June 2021: Baa3/BBB-).
The capital structure of the Group can be changed by equity issuance, paying distributions to securityholders, the Distribution
Reinvestment Plan and changing the level of debt. For further information on how the Group allocates and manages capital, refer to
details of the Portfolio Management Framework in the Managing and Measuring Value - Financial section and Performance and Outlook
section of this Annual Report.
19. Liquidity Risk Exposure
Further information on liquidity risk is disclosed in Note 24 ‘Financial Risk Management’. As disclosed in Note 27 ‘Contingent Liabilities’,
in certain circumstances, the Company guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations including
bonding and bank guarantees. Issued bank guarantees have cash collateralisation requirements if the bank guarantee facility is not
renewed by the provider.
At 30 June 2022, the Group does not anticipate a significant liquidity risk in relation to the following financial liabilities. This is due to
the Group’s strong financial profile, as supported by the significant committed undrawn facilities and low gearing ratio. Refer to Note 14
‘Cash and Cash Equivalents’ and Note 16 ‘Borrowings and Financing Arrangements’.
The Group has provided collateral of $nil (June 2021: $nil) against letter of credit facilities.

21. Loans and Receivables
Accounting Policies
Loans and receivables, which include trade and other receivables, are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable
payments that are not equity securities. They arise when the Group provides money, goods or services directly to a debtor
with no intention of trading the receivable. Contract debtors represent receivables where the right to receive payment from
customers remains conditional. Other receivables include receivables related to investment management, property development
and miscellaneous items.
Loans and receivables are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that
discounts estimated future cash receipts over the term of the loans and receivables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and
other receivables are not discounted if the effect of discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as
revenue over the remaining term.
The Group assesses provision for impairment of loans and receivables based on expected loss, and books a provision if material.
The Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available. This includes both quantitative and
qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical impairment experience, credit assessment of customers and
any relevant forward looking information. The amount of the provision is recognised in the Income Statement.
Retentions receivable on construction contracts represent deposits held by the Group until the satisfaction of conditions
specified in the contract are met.

As at the reporting date, $603 million of the trade receivables were current (30 June 2021: $478 million) and $123 million were past
due (30 June 2021: $124 million). Of the past due amount, $110 million was not impaired (30 June 2021: $112 million). ‘Past due’ is
defined under accounting standards to mean any amount outstanding for one or more days after the contractual due date. Of the total
trade debtors, 7.7 per cent (30 June 2021: 6.5 per cent) are aged greater than 90 days. Other than trade debtors, no other loans and
receivables are considered past due at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: $nil).

The credit quality of all loans and receivables, including those neither past due nor impaired, is assessed and monitored on an ongoing
basis. As the majority of the Group’s customers are government entities for the Construction business and are institutional investors
in the Development and Investment businesses, no additional risk has been identified. Impairment as noted above was immaterial at
30 June 2022. The impairment provision relates to specific loans and receivables that have been identified as being impaired, including
related party loans where the Group’s interest in a development was via an equity accounted investment.

1. Movements in contract debtors during the financial year relate primarily to additional work performed not yet transferred into Trade receivables as the right to receive payment
from the customer has not become unconditional.
2. Movements in construction contract assets during the financial year relate primarily to revenue recognised on construction contracts with customers in excess of billings raised
during the financial year.
22. Trade and Other Payables
Accounting Policies
Trade Creditors
Liabilities are recognised for amounts to be paid in the future for goods or services received, whether or not billed to the Group.
Trade and other payables are settled in the normal course of business. Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, which applies the interest rate that discounts estimated future cash outflows over the term
of the trade and other payables. Cash flows relating to short term trade and other payables are not discounted if the effect of
discounting is immaterial. The discount, if material, is then recognised as an expense over the remaining term.
Construction Contract Liabilities
Construction contracts where the total progress billings issued to clients (together with foreseeable losses, if applicable) on a
project exceed the revenue recognised (costs incurred to date plus recognised profit) on the contract are recognised as a liability.
Retentions
Retentions are amounts payable for the purpose of security and for the provision of defects in accordance with contract terms.
Release of retention amounts are in accordance with contractual terms.
Unearned Income
Primarily relates to unearned income and deposits received in advance on presold apartments. These amounts will be recognised
as income in line with the ‘Sale of development properties’ accounting policy in Note 4 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’.
Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease.
The Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

1. Prior period balances have been reclassified from Other to Trade and accrued creditors to reflect updated management information.
As a result of the revised strategy announcement and business review undertaken by the Global CEO during the financial year, the
Group assessed its right of use assets. The Group calculated its remaining recoverable right of use assets using a discounted cashflow
model with a discount rate of 3.6 per cent. This resulted in a tenancy impairment expense of $104 million in Corporate Activities and
$25 million in the Non core segment. As at 30 June 2022, the Group recognised right-of-use assets of $188 million (30 June 2021:
$325 million) within Property, Plant and Equipment. Refer to Note 1 'Segment Reporting' and Note 7 'Other Expenses' for further details.

1. Movements in Unearned income relates primarily to residential presales settled during the financial year and deposits received for development properties.
2. Movements in Construction contract liabilities relate primarily to revenue recognised during the period in excess of billings raised on construction contracts with customers.
This balance also contains provisions previously incurred on retained Engineering projects that are in progress.
During the year, the Group recognised $482 million in revenue from contracts that held a contract liability balance at the beginning of
the financial year. The total transaction price relating to the Group’s Unearned income on the Group’s development contracts at June
2022 is $439 million relating primarily to various UK and Australian projects. The difference between the Unearned income amount
noted in the table above and this amount primarily relates to the remaining development value of apartments versus the deposit amount
received. Revenue from these contracts is expected to be realised as control over each asset is transferred to the customer.
The total transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations on the Group’s construction contracts as at June 2022 is
$14.8 billion. This includes new work secured during the financial year. Of the total construction backlog, 54 per cent is expected to be
realised within the next 12 months to June 2023 (June 2021: 44 per cent to June 2022), 30 per cent to June 2024 (June 2021: 31 per
cent to June 2023) and the remaining 16 per cent realised post June 2024 (June 2021: 25 per cent post June 2023).

23. Provisions
Accounting Policies
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the Group will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the
reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using
the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the
effect of the time value of money is material).
Management considers this is an area of estimation uncertainty as these calculations involve a number of key assumptions
including the expected future cash outflow and the timing of the outflow to determine the provision.
Employee Benefits
Includes amounts for employee annual leave and long service leave entitlements.
Development Projects
Includes amounts for costs to close out development projects, including defects and residual guarantees. The timing of any
expected outflows of economic benefits is dependent on market factors, such as lease up rates in specific markets, and
negotiations with customers.
Construction Projects
Includes amounts for claims and litigation related to legacy construction projects. The timing of any expected outflows of
economic benefits is dependent on the progression of negotiations and litigation with claimants, which are ongoing at period end.
Other
Includes amounts related to various litigation and commercial matters.

Section D. Risk Management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The Group’s overall financial risk management strategy focuses on
the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise adverse effects on the Group’s performance. Treasury policies
have been approved by the Board for managing this risk. This section contains disclosures of financial risks the Group is exposed
to and how the Group manages these risks. The impact of contingent liabilities is also considered in this section.
24. Financial Risk Management
The Group operates across numerous jurisdictions and markets. The Lendlease Asset and Liability Committee oversees the
management of the Group’s treasury risks, within the parameters of a Board approved Treasury Policy, and maintains a Group wide
framework for financial risk management and reviews issues of material risk exposure within the scope of the Treasury Policy. A
summary of key risks identified, exposures and management of exposures is detailed in the table below:

Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis of the Group’s Australian dollar denominated Income Statement and Statement of Financial Position to foreign
currency movements is based on a 10 per cent fluctuation (June 2021: 10 per cent fluctuation) on the average rates during the financial
year and the spot rate at balance date, respectively. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain
constant, and excludes the effects of the foreign exchange contracts.
A 10 per cent movement in the average foreign exchange rates would have impacted the Group’s Profit after tax as follows:

24.b. Credit Risk Exposure
• The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date on financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position
(excluding investments of the Group) equals the carrying amount, net of any impairment
• The Group is not exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk on either a geographic or industry specific basis
• Credit risk on financial instruments is managed under a Board approved credit policy that determines acceptable counterparties.
Derivative counterparties and cash deposits are limited to recognised financial intermediaries with a minimum investment grade
credit rating as determined by a recognised rating agency
• Refer to Note 21 ‘Loans and Receivables’ for information relating to impairment on loans and receivables
• In certain circumstances, the Group will hold either financial or non financial assets as collateral to further mitigate the potential
credit risk on selected transactions. During the current and prior year, the Group did not hold financial or non financial assets as
collateral. At any point in time, the Group will hold other collateral such as bank guarantees and performance bonds to mitigate
potential credit risk as a result of default by a counterparty or otherwise.
24.c. Interest Rate Risk Exposure
The Group’s exposure to interest rate risk on its financial assets and liabilities is set out as follows:

Sensitivity Analysis
At 30 June 2022, it is estimated that an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Group’s equity and
Profit after tax by $6 million (June 2021: $3 million increase in the Group’s equity and Profit after tax). A one percentage point decrease
in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s equity and Profit after tax by $6 million (June 2021: $3 million decrease in the
Group’s equity and Profit after tax). The increase or decrease in interest income/(expense) is proportional to the increase or decrease in
interest rates. Interest rate derivatives have been included in this calculation.
25. Hedging
Accounting Policies
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate risks arising
from operating, financing and investing activities. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value on
the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at fair value. Hedge accounting recognises the
offsetting effects on profit or loss of changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments and the hedged item. The
accounting for hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are classified as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or
investment hedges.
The Group has minimal hedges designated at fair value. The Group primarily uses forward foreign exchange contracts as cash flow
hedges for highly probable sale, purchase and dividend transactions. The Group also uses forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge
cross border intercompany loans and transactions which mainly net off in the Income Statement. Interest rate swaps and interest rate
options are used to manage the Group’s exposure to interest rates arising from borrowings. These are primarily treated as cash flow
hedges and are mainly on borrowings within equity accounted investments.
The Group has foreign exchange derivative contracts primarily held in GBP, USD, EUR, SGD and CNY at reporting date to hedge
specific foreign currency exposures. The total gross payable exposure is $1,663 million (June 2021: payable $1,045 million).
There are 31 foreign currency contracts that will mature in more than one year (June 2021: 62 foreign currency contracts).

26. Fair Value Measurement
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies for financial instruments held at fair value are included in Note 13 ‘Other Financial Assets’ and Note
25 ‘Hedging’.
Management considers the valuation of assets at fair value including financial instruments to be an area of estimation uncertainty.
While this represents the best estimation of fair value at the reporting date, the fair values may differ if there is volatility in market
prices or foreign exchange rates in future periods.
All financial instruments recognised in the Statement of Financial Position, including those instruments carried at amortised cost, are
recognised at amounts that represent a reasonable approximation of fair value, with the exception of the following borrowings:

The fair value of commercial notes has been calculated by discounting the expected future cash flows by the appropriate government
bond rates and credit margin applicable to the relevant term of the commercial note.
26.a. Basis of Determining Fair Value
The determination of fair values of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are summarised as follows:
• The fair value of unlisted equity investments, including investments in property funds, is determined based on an assessment of
the underlying net assets, which may include periodic independent and Directors’ valuations, future maintainable earnings and any
special circumstances pertaining to the particular investment. Fair value of unlisted equity investments has also taken the COVID
pandemic and other economic conditions into consideration to determine fair value at 30 June 2022. This included valuations of
underlying investment properties at balance date
• The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with
generally accepted valuation techniques; these include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other assets that
are substantially the same, and discounted cash flow analysis
• The fair value of derivative instruments comprises forward foreign exchange contracts, which are valued using forward rates
at balance date, and interest rate swap contracts, which are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated
and discounted based on applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates and include consideration of counterparty
risk adjustments.
26.b. Fair Value Measurements
The different levels for valuation method have been defined as follows:
• Level 1: The fair value is determined using the unadjusted quoted price for an identical asset or liability in an active market for
identical assets or liabilities
• Level 2: The fair value is calculated using predominantly observable market data other than unadjusted quoted prices for an
identical asset or liability
• Level 3: The fair value is calculated using inputs that are not based on observable market data.
During the financial year, there were no material transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies.

27. Contingent Liabilities
The Group has the following contingent liabilities, being liabilities in respect of which there is the potential for a cash outflow in excess
of any provision where the likelihood of payment is not considered probable or cannot be measured reliably at this time:
• There are a number of legal claims and exposures that arise from the normal course of the Group’s business. Such claims and
exposures largely arise in respect of claims for defects (including under both contract and legislation), claims for breach of
performance obligations or breach of warranty or claims under indemnities. In some claims:
– There is uncertainty as to whether a legal obligation exists;
– There is uncertainty as to whether a future cash outflow will arise in respect to these items; and/or
– It is not possible to quantify the potential exposure with sufficient reliability.
This particularly applies in larger more complex projects, in claims involving a number of parties or in claims made a number of years
after completion of a project.
Where it is probable there will be liabilities from such claims and the potential exposure can be quantified with sufficient reliability, a
provision has been made for anticipated losses arising from such claims.
• In certain circumstances, the Company guarantees the performance of particular Group entities in respect of their obligations. This
includes bonding and bank guarantee facilities used primarily by the Construction business as well as performance guarantees for
certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.
• Securities Class Action
On 18 April 2019, Lendlease Corporation and Lendlease Responsible Entity (Lendlease Group) were served with a shareholder class
action proceeding filed in the Supreme Court of New South Wales on 18 April 2019 by David William Pallas and Julie Ann Pallas as
trustees for the Pallas Family Superannuation Fund, represented by Maurice Blackburn. On 7 August 2019, Lendlease Corporation
and Lendlease Responsible Entity (Lendlease Group) were served with a shareholder class action proceeding filed in the Supreme
Court of New South Wales on 6 August 2019 by Martin John Fletcher, represented by Phi Finney McDonald. On 21 November 2019
the Supreme Court ordered consolidation of the two class actions into a single proceeding. The consolidated proceeding alleges
that Lendlease was in breach of its continuous disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act 2001 and made representations
about its Engineering and Services business that were misleading or deceptive or likely to mislead or deceive. It is currently not
possible to determine the ultimate impact of these claims, if any, on Lendlease Group. Lendlease Group denies the allegations and
intends to vigorously defend this proceeding.

Section E. Basis of Consolidation
This section provides information on how the Group structure affects the financial position and performance of the Group as a
whole. The disclosures detail the types of entities and transactions included in the consolidation and those excluded.
28. Consolidated Entities
Accounting Policies
The Group consolidation comprises all subsidiaries controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company:
• Has the power to direct the relevant activities such as key operating, financial and investing decisions
• Has exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee such as dividends, loans and fees
• Has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of returns.
In assessing control, potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or convertible are taken into account. Management uses
accounting judgement in determining whether the Group controls an entity by applying the above control criteria and reviewing
the substance of its relationship with the entity.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences
until the date that control ceases. The financial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent
company, using consistent accounting policies with adjustments made to bring into line any dissimilar accounting policies that
may exist.
External non controlling interests are allocated their share of total comprehensive income and are presented within equity in the
consolidated Statement of Financial Position, separately from the equity of securityholders.
The material consolidated entities of the Group listed below were wholly owned during the current and prior year. Refer to the following

The Company sponsors a number of employee benefit vehicles, including employee security plans and employee security ownership
vehicles. These vehicles, while not legally controlled, are currently required to be consolidated for accounting purposes.
29.a. Employee Security Plans
As at 30 June 2022, employees own approximately 0.9 per cent (June 2021: 0.9 per cent) of the issued capital of the Group through
various active Lendlease employee security plans and ownership vehicles, details of which are outlined below:
• Australia: Employee Share Acquisition Plan (ESAP): ESAP was established in December 1988 for the purpose of employees
acquiring securities in the Group and is funded by Lendlease subscriptions, and employee salary sacrifice contributions
• Americas: US Rabbi Trust (Rabbi Trust) was established in 2004 and updated in 2005 for the acceptance of employee profit
share contributions used to acquire Group securities for US based employees. This part of the plan is not currently accepting
new contributions
• Employee Share Acquisition Plan (STI) (ESAP STI): ESAP STI was established in July 2014 for the purpose of acquiring and
allocating securities granted as the deferred component of Short Term Incentive (STI) awards, which are funded by Lendlease
subscriptions. Securities are currently allocated to employees across Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, the United Kingdom and the
United States.
Eligibility
The eligibility rules for each plan are determined by reference to the regulatory, legal and tax rules of each country in which the
Group operates.
Distributions and/or Voting Rights
Generally, employees in the various operating security plans are entitled to distributions and voting rights for allocated securities. The
plans reflect this intention subject to regulatory, legal and tax constraints. The trustee may exercise these rights in accordance with any
fiduciary or governance rules pertaining to the deed or trust laws in the legal and tax jurisdiction within which the trust operates.
29.b. Employee Security Ownership Vehicles
In addition to the plans discussed above, Lendlease has an employee security ownership vehicle, Lendlease Retirement Benefit
Fund (RBF):
• RBF was established in 1984 with shareholder approval for the benefit of employees. RBF holds Lendlease securities. The Lendlease
securities in RBF are not available for allocation to employees other than in the event of a change of control of the Group and,
in accordance with RBF’s trust deed, the capital of the trust is not available to the Group. The RBF trustee has discretion as to
the distribution of the RBF funds. In 1992, a deed poll was executed which allows for the distribution of the income of RBF to the
Company to fund employee benefit activities through the Lendlease Foundation. As a result of changes to the constitution and
governance structure of the RBF trustee on 22 June 2017, Lendlease currently does not have control of RBF and therefore RBF is
currently not required to be consolidated for accounting purposes
• The RBF arrangement is subject to periodic review to assess its ongoing role and operation.

32. Intangible Assets
Accounting Policies
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable assets and
contingent liabilities of the acquired business at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in
intangible assets as goodwill. Goodwill on acquisition of associates is included in the carrying value of investments in associates.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not amortised.
Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units (CGUs) (or groups of CGUs) that are
expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. CGUs are an identifiable group of assets that
generate cash associated with the goodwill. Management considers this is an area of estimation uncertainty as these calculations
involve an estimation of the recoverable amount of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated. The Construction CGUs use the
value in use basis, which requires the Group to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGUs and a suitable
discount rate in order to calculate the recoverable amounts.
Management agreements and other intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation
and impairment losses (see Note 7 ‘Other Expenses’). Amortisation is charged to the Income Statement on a straight line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets, ranging from three to 20 years.

1. During the second half of the financial year, the Group performed a review of its Digital assets of $115 million that resulted in a change in product offering. As the Group
changed its product offering, it had to determine the recoverable amount of the remaining Digital assets. This was calculated using a value in use with a discount rate of 20 per
cent, resulting in an impairment expense of $77 million. The impairment expense was charged to the Corporate Activities. At 30 June 2022, the remaining Digital assets was
$38 million (30 June 2021: $66 million).

32.c. Impairment Tests and Key Assumptions Used – Construction
The recoverable amount of the Construction CGUs is determined based on value in use (VIU) calculations. For the Construction CGUs,
the assumptions used for determining the recoverable amount of each CGU are based on past experience and expectations for the
future, utilising both internal and external sources of data and relevant industry trends.
No impairment arose as a result of the review of goodwill for the Construction CGUs for the financial year ended 30 June 2022.
Based on information available and market conditions at 30 June 2022, a reasonably foreseeable change in the assumptions made in
this assessment would not result in impairment of Construction goodwill. The foreseeable change in the assumptions took the COVID
pandemic and other economic conditions into consideration.
The following describes the key assumptions on which management has based its cash flow projections when determining VIU relating
to the Construction CGUs:
Cash Flows
The VIU calculations use pre tax cash flow projections based on actual operating results, and financial forecasts covering a five
year period which have been approved by management. These forecasts are based on management estimates to determine income,
expenses, capital expenditure and cash flows for each CGU.
Growth Rate
The terminal value growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the five year period is 3.0 per cent (June 2021: 3.0 per cent).
The growth rate reflects the forecast long term average growth rate for each CGU and the countries in which they operate.
Discount Rate
The discount rates applied to the cash flow projections vary between 9.2 per cent and 11.0 per cent (June 2021: between 8.9 per cent
and 12.4 per cent). The Group’s weighted average cost of capital is used as a starting point for determining the discount rate, with
appropriate adjustments for the risk profile relating to the relevant CGUs and the countries in which they operate. The discount rates
used are pre tax.
33. Discontinued Operations
Accounting Policies
Discontinued operations relate to a component of the Group including its corresponding assets and liabilities that have been
classified as held for sale and represent a separate major line of business or geographical area of operation. The group of assets
and their corresponding liabilities (together referred to as a Disposal Group), may only be classified as held for sale once the
following criteria are met:
• The carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use
• The sale must be highly probable.
A Disposal Group is measured at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Where fair value is lower than
the carrying amount, the difference is recognised as an impairment loss within the Income Statement.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the Income Statement and Statement of Comprehensive
Income. Comparatives have also been re-presented for the Income Statement, Statement of Comprehensive Income and
corresponding Notes to separately disclose the results of discontinued operations from continuing operations.

33. Discontinued Operations continued
On 25 February 2019, the Group announced that its Engineering and Services businesses are no longer a required part of the Group’s
strategy. Management at that time committed to a plan to exit from Non core operations of Engineering and Services.
On 19 December 2019, the Group entered into an agreement with Acciona to sell its Engineering business and on 9 September 2020
the Group completed the sale. The agreed purchase price for the sale of the Engineering business was $160 million which was adjusted
by $37 million at completion, resulting in total estimated proceeds of $197 million. $163 million has been received by 30 June 2022.
Acciona has not paid the balance of the final deferred payment which was due on 30 June 2021, claiming various amounts should
be set off against that payment. This is disputed by Lendlease and legal proceedings are ongoing to seek recovery of payments due
by Acciona.
On 21 July 2021, the Group entered into an agreement with Service Stream to sell the Services business and on 1 November 2021 the
Group completed the sale. The agreed purchase price for the sale of the Services business was $310 million which was adjusted by
$21 million at completion, resulting in total estimated proceeds of $331 million. $317 million has been received by 30 June 2022. As a
result of the sale, the 30 June 2021 results have been re-presented to include the Services business as part of discontinued operations.
The discontinued operations represent the Services business sold in the current year and the Engineering business sold in the prior year,
excluding the projects retained by the Group.
The major classes of assets and liabilities sold are as follows:

34. Defined Benefit Plans
Accounting Policies
Group companies operate pension plans. The plans are generally funded through payments to insurance companies or trustee
administered funds as determined by periodic actuarial calculations.
A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines the amount of pension benefit an employee will receive on retirement,
usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.
The asset or liability recognised in the Statement of Financial Position in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of
the defined benefit obligation i.e. ‘the pension liability’ at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The present
value of the pension liability is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality
corporate or government bonds, that:
• Are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid
• Have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated at least annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method,
which in simplistic terms proportions the benefit based on service. Management considers the valuation of defined benefit
plans undertaken by the actuaries to be an area of estimation uncertainty as a number of key assumptions must be adopted to
determine the valuation.
Actuarial losses/(gains) will arise where there is a difference between previous estimates and actual experience, or a change
to assumptions in relation to demographic and financial trends. These actuarial losses/(gains) are recognised in the period they
occur, directly in other comprehensive income as remeasurements. They are included in retained earnings in the Statement of
Changes in Equity and in the Statement of Financial Position.
Past service costs are recognised immediately in the Income Statement.

Lendlease Construction Holdings (Europe) Limited (UK Construction) sponsors a funded defined benefit pension scheme (the Scheme)
for qualifying UK employees. The Scheme is administered by a separate board of Trustees which is legally separate from UK
Construction. The Scheme’s Trustees are composed of representatives of both the employer and employees. The Trustees are required
by law to act in the interest of all relevant beneficiaries and are responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets plus the
day to day administration of the benefits.
The Scheme is a funded defined benefit scheme, with the final salary section providing retirement benefits based on final salary and the
index linked section providing retirement benefits based on career average salary. A separate section, the Personal Investment Section,
provides retirement benefits on a defined contribution basis. The UK Construction’s contributions to members’ Personal Investment
Fund accounts are not included in these disclosures.
The final salary section closed to future accruals on 31 August 2008 and the index linked section closed to future accruals on
31 January 2012. There were no Scheme amendments affecting defined benefits payable, curtailments or settlements during the
year. UK Construction pays four per cent of members’ basic salaries to cover the Scheme’s expected administration costs and costs of
benefits payable on death in service. Following the triennial valuation for 31 March 2020, deficit repair contributions are not required to
be paid as the scheme is in an actuarial surplus.
The defined benefit plan is exposed to actuarial risk and market (investment) risk. The following information provides additional detail
on risk:

The investment funds target an absolute level of return. The plan assets can be categorised as Level 1, where the fair value is
determined using an unadjusted quoted price for an identical asset, or Level 2, where the fair value is derived either directly or indirectly
from observable inputs, or Level 3, where inputs are unobservable (i.e. for which market data is unavailable). At year end, approximately
$1,077 million (June 2021: $1,428 million) and $107 million (June 2021: $87 million) of total plan assets were categorised as Level 2 and
Level 3, respectively. UK Construction and Trustees have agreed to a long term strategy for reducing investment risk as and when
appropriate. This includes an asset–liability matching policy which aims to reduce the volatility of the funding level of the pension plan
by investing in assets that perform in line with the liabilities of the plan so as to protect against inflation being higher than expected.
The current targeted benchmark allocation is 22.5 per cent growth assets and 77.5 per cent matching assets (June 2021: 67.5 per cent
growth assets and 32.5 per cent matching assets).

34. Defined Benefit Plans continued
The liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yield. If assets underperform this yield, this will
create a deficit.
A decrease in corporate bond yield will increase the value placed on the Scheme’s liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an
increase in the value of the Scheme’s corporate bond holdings. The majority of the Scheme’s benefit obligations are linked to inflation
and higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities, although in most cases this will be capped to protect against extreme inflation. The
majority of the assets are either unaffected by or loosely correlated with inflation, meaning that an increase in inflation will also increase
the deficit. The majority of the Scheme’s obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy
will result in an increase in the liabilities. The mortality assumptions are based on standard mortality tables which allow for expected
future mortality improvements. The assumption is that a member aged 63 will live for a further 25.3 years (June 2021: 25.3 years) if they
are male and 26.8 years if they are female (June 2021: 26.3 years).
At 30 June 2022, the weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation was 16 years (June 2021: 18 years).
vii. Sensitivity Analysis

would have affected the defined benefit obligations by the amounts shown below:

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely
that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
Non pensioner benefits are linked to RPI in the period up to retirement. Once in payment, pension increases are linked to RPI but with
a zero per cent floor and different caps applying to different periods of pensionable service. The inflation sensitivity reflects a change in
RPI inflation and the associated increases in payment.
35. Employee Benefits
Detailed information regarding the Group’s Executive Reward strategy is provided in the Remuneration Report within the Directors’
Report. The key incentive plans are as follows:
• Short Term Incentive (STI)
• Short Term Award (STA)
• Long Term Incentive (LTI)
• Long Term Award (LTA)
• Restricted Securities Award (RSA)
• Executive Deferred Award (ED Award)
• Deferred Equity Award (DEA)
• Pro Rata CEO Grant
• Google Development Ventures (GDV) Incentive.
35.a. Short Term Incentive (STI)
The STI plan is an annual incentive plan whereby a number of employees receive benefits which are dependent upon the achievement
of both Lendlease financial and non financial targets, and individual goals. The total value of the potential benefit varies by individual
and is tested against relevant market levels for each role.
• The STI plan typically comprises a cash component, which is paid in September following year end. For more senior employees,
where the potential benefit is typically higher, the plan also includes a deferred component
• Deferral periods are generally for one or two years. The deferred component is normally awarded as Lendlease securities and in
some instances as cash. Securities are held in Lendlease employee security plan trusts on behalf of employees for the deferral
period (refer to Note 29a ‘Employee Security Plans’). For employees to receive the deferred component in full, they must generally
be employed by the Group at the time of vesting.
Financial Statements
167
35.b. Short Term Award (STA)
The STA plan is an annual incentive plan which replaced the STI for a limited number of senior executives from 2019. It is designed to
focus senior executives on priority areas for delivery in the current financial year, including key Group and regional financial targets,
safety and other non financial targets aligned to the Group’s areas of focus.
Whilst performance is assessed against a set of Group metrics when determining awards, the Board will assess the overall performance
and contribution of individual senior executives, with a particular focus on safety.
The total value of the potential benefit varies by individual and is set with reference to both internal peers and external market levels.
For FY20 and FY21, the STA plan has been awarded as cash in September following year end. From FY22 onwards, 50 per cent of
awarded STA will be a deferred grant of Lendlease securities. The deferred portion will be released in two equal tranches after one and
two years.
35.c. Long Term Incentive (LTI)
The LTI plan is designed to:
• Motivate executives to achieve the Group’s long term strategic goals and provide reward where the Group delivers better value to
securityholders than its peers
• Align the interests of executives and securityholders, given that the reward received is linked to the Group’s security price and
average Return on Equity performance.

(applicable to FY20,

Termination

• The Board intends that the awards be settled in Lendlease securities, although the award may be settled in
cash or other means at the Board’s discretion
• On vesting, each performance security entitles executives to one Lendlease stapled security, or at the Board’s
discretion, cash or other instruments of equivalent value
•
•
•
In the event of a change in control of the Group, the Board has the discretion to determine whether the
vesting of some or all performance securities should be accelerated.
100 per cent of the performance securities are assessed over a three year period. If the performance hurdle is
not fully achieved at this time, those performance securities that have not vested will lapse
If the performance hurdle is not met, the awards are forfeited
• There is no retesting on any portion of the LTI grant.
•
•
•
•
If the executive resigns or is terminated for cause, the unvested LTI is forfeited
If the executive is terminated and if the Board considers vesting would provide a benefit that was
unwarranted or inappropriate, the Board can adjust unvested LTI prior to the vesting date
For ‘good leavers’, the LTI grant may remain on foot, subject to the original terms
In exceptional circumstances (such as death or total and permanent disability), the Board may exercise
discretion and settle the award at the time of termination of employment.

35.d. Long Term Award (LTA)
The LTA plan replaced the LTI for a limited number of executives from 2019. It was designed to motivate and reward key executives to
deliver on the Group’s long term strategy and to allow them to share in the value created for securityholders. Specifically, the objectives
are to:
• Create rewards that are aligned to earnings
• Align the interests of securityholders and our most senior executives
• Promote team behaviours and an enterprise leadership mindset
• Retain the senior executive team.
The intended outcome is that reward and strategy are better aligned.

Performance rights are rights to receive a variable number of Lendlease securities or at the discretion of the Board,

•
•
In the event of a change in control of the Group, the Board has the discretion to determine whether the vesting of
some or all performance rights should be accelerated.
100 per cent of the performance rights are assessed over a three year period and the number of Lendlease securities
that may be delivered on vesting is determined. The first tranche will vest immediately thereafter, and the second,
third and fourth tranches will be deferred and will vest progressively four, five and six years after the grant date
•
If the performance hurdle is not met, the awards are forfeited
• There is no retesting of the LTA grant.

•
If the executive resigns and becomes engaged in activities that are competitive with the Group or is terminated for

If the executive is terminated and if the Board considers vesting would provide a benefit that was unwarranted or

35.e. Restricted Securities Award (RSA)
The Restricted Securities Award (RSA), previously referred to as the LTA Minimum, is similar to fixed remuneration as it is not subject to
performance conditions. It is designed to motivate and reward a limited number of key executives to deliver on the Group’s long term
strategy and to allow them to have a sense of ownership and share in the value created for securityholders. The RSA (and previously
referred to LTA Minimum) is not continuing from FY22 under the revised Executive Reward Strategy.
Arrangements for RSA Awards
RSA Design
How the RSA Works
Performance Rights
• An annual grant of ‘performance rights’ is made to a limited number of executives on the Global
Leadership Team
• However, following feedback from proxy-holders and other stakeholders, the RSA will no longer be offered
from FY22
• The Board intends that the awards be settled in Lendlease securities, although some or all of the award may
be settled in cash at the Board’s discretion
•
•
Performance rights are rights to receive one Lendlease stapled security, or at the Board’s discretion, cash or
other instruments of equivalent value
In the event of a change in control of the Group, the Board has the discretion to determine whether the
vesting of some or all performance rights should be accelerated.
Vesting Period
• The first tranche (i.e. 25%) will vest after three years and the second, third and fourth tranches will vest
progressively four, five and six years after the grant date.
Termination
of Employment
•
•
If the executive resigns and becomes engaged in activities that are competitive with the Group or is
terminated for cause, the unvested RSA is forfeited
If the executive is terminated and if the Board considers vesting would provide a benefit that was
unwarranted or inappropriate, the Board has the discretion to lapse some or all performance rights prior
to the vesting date
•
For ‘good leavers’, the RSA grant may remain on foot, subject to the original terms.

35.f. Executive Deferred Award (ED Award)
The Executive Deferred Award (ED Award) is an award that was made to a limited number of executives and senior managers in
recognition of their role in supporting the Lendlease transformation program.
The ED Award comprises a one off grant of Lendlease deferred securities which vest in three equal tranches, with the final vesting three
years after grant. Securities are held in Lendlease employee plan trusts for the deferral period. Refer to Note 29a ‘Employee Security
Plans’ for further details. For employees to receive the deferred components in full, they must generally be employed by the Group at
the time of vesting.
35.g. Deferred Equity Award (DEA)
The DEA is delivered to Senior Executives as a grant of rights with vesting over two years. The Board determined that an equity award
was more appropriate than paying cash as a result of COVID. The key objectives of this award are to:
• Recognise the achievement of non financial performance outcomes that support long term value creation
• Consider the balance between motivating, recognising and rewarding executives with securityholder interests
• Provide the Board with additional review points prior to vesting
• Provide a retention element given that executives will be required to wait up to two years for the award to vest.
35.h. Pro Rata CEO Grant
The pro rata CEO Grant is designed to recognise the period served as Global CEO (one month) in FY21 for Anthony Lombardo.

70% of Performance Rights will vest based on the achievement of the key milestones for GDV during the
performance period, including the securing of entitlements and capital plans and the commencement of
construction for each project
30% of Performance Rights will vest based on customer satisfaction feedback from the client and internal
stakeholders at key touchpoints in the project life cycle, so that GDV milestones are not only delivered within
the required timeframes but also to an exceptional standard
In the event of resignation or termination for cause, unvested rights are forfeited
In all other circumstances, the portion of the award that reflects milestones that are already tested and
achieved during the performance period will remain on foot. The untested portion is forfeited (except in the
case of redundancy, whereby the untested portion will be continue to be tested against plan milestones and
vest if applicable following the end of the performance period)
35.j. Amounts Recognised in the Financial Statements
LTI and LTA awards are valued using Monte-Carlo simulation methodology where the security price can be projected based on the
assumptions underlying the Black-Scholes formula. Retention awards are valued by discounting the security price by the expected
dividends assumed to be paid from the valuation date until the vesting date (if applicable). The model inputs include the Lendlease
Group security price, a risk free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield. During the financial year ended 30 June 2022, a
$51 million expense was recognised in the Income Statement in relation to equity settled security based payment awards (June 2021:
$55 million).

Amendments to Australian
Accounting Standards – Sale
or Contribution of Assets
between an Investor and its
Associate or Joint Venture and
consequential amendments.
AASB 2014-10 amends AASB 10 and AASB 128 to
clarify the requirements for recording the sale or
contribution of assets between an investor and its
associate or joint venture.
The amendment becomes mandatory for
the June 2026 financial year and will be
applied prospectively.
38. Other Significant Accounting Policies
38.a. Foreign Currency Translation
Based on preliminary analysis performed, the
amendments are not expected to have a material
impact on the Group.
Functional and Presentation Currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic
environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial report is presented in Australian dollars,
which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
Transactions and Balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rate on the date of the transactions. Assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to Australian dollars at balance date.
Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognised in the Income Statement for monetary assets and liabilities such as receivables and
payables, except for qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges in foreign operations, which are recognised in
other comprehensive income. Refer to Note 25 ‘Hedging’ for further detail.
Financial Statements
173
Translation differences on 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.
Group Entities
The results and Statement of Financial Position of all Group entities that are not presented in Australian dollars (none of which has the
currency of a hyperinflationary economy) are translated as follows:
• Revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the
transaction rate, in which case revenue and expenses are translated at the date of the transactions)
• Assets and liabilities for each Statement of Financial Position presented are translated at the closing rate at balance date
• All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income, in the foreign currency translation reserve.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity
and translated at the closing rate.
38.b. Goods and Services Tax
Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except where the amount of GST
incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition
of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the
Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is included as a current asset or liability in the Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are included
in the Statement of Cash Flows on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities
which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are classified as operating cash flows.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the members of Lendlease Corporation Limited Report on the audit of the Financial Report Opinion We have audited the Financial Report of Lendlease Corporation Limited as the deemed parent presenting the stapled security arrangement of Lendlease Group (the Financial Report). In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Report is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: • giving a true and fair view of the Lendlease Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance for the year ended on that date; and • complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. The Financial Report of Lendlease Group comprises: • Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2022; • Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended; • Notes including a summary of significant accounting policies; and • Directors’ Declaration. The Lendlease Group consists of the Lendlease Corporation Limited and the entities it controlled at the year-end or from time to time during the financial year and Lendlease Trust. Shares in Lendlease Corporation Limited and units in Lendlease Trust are jointly traded as a Stapled Security on the Australian Securities Exchange under the name of Lendlease Group. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of Lendlease Group and Lendlease Corporation Limited in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the Financial Report in Australia. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 176
Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Key Audit Matters The Key Audit Matters we identified for Lendlease Group are: • Construction Revenue Recognition; • Sale of Development Properties; • Recoverability of Development Property Inventory; and • Asset Valuation. Key Audit Matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the Financial Report of the current period. These 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. Construction Revenue Recognition (A$6,997m) Refer to Note 4 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group performs various building, engineering and services construction contract works (projects) for a wide range of customers. The Group contracts in a variety of ways. Each project has a different risk profile based on its individual contractual and delivery characteristics. Currently, global market conditions are uncertain with disruption to supply chains and inflationary pressures. These conditions, combined with the ongoing impacts of the pandemic, continue to create a challenging operating environment impacting productivity, expected timing of completion and expected costs to complete. Other impacts include projects being put on hold in some markets, with some delays in securing and commencement of new projects. Construction revenue recognition is a key audit matter as judgement is required to assess the timing of recognition determined by the Group. Revenue on construction contracts is earned over time, typically using costs incurred as a proportion of total forecast costs as the measure of progress. Estimating total forecast costs to complete during project life is complex and requires judgement. Typical cost estimates include labour, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and project Our procedures included: • Evaluating and testing management’s review and approval of revenue and cost forecasting; • Selecting a sample of contracts for testing using: - Data Analytic routines based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, related to size and risk of projects; and - the Group’s project reporting tool. • For the sample selected, we: - conducted visits to a selection of project sites to evidence physical progress; - inquired with key project personnel to assess the project schedule, forecast costs, risks and opportunities, with involvement from KPMG engineering specialists where appropriate; - read relevant contract terms and conditions to evaluate the inclusion of individual characteristics and project risks in the Group’s estimates; - tested a sample of incurred costs to supplier invoices or other underlying documentation; - tested forecast costs for labour, subcontractors, equipment, materials, and project overheads by comparing to actual incurred spend, committed future contracts and current market quotes, with specific consideration of inflation in our assessment of contingency; - tested the variations and claims (including COVID-19 related impacts) recognised within revenue against the criteria for recognition in the accounting standards via inspection and assessment of: Financial Statements
177
overheads. Changes to these cost estimates could give rise to variances in the amount of revenue recognised. The revenue on construction contracts may also include variations and claims, which fall under either the variable consideration or contract modification requirements of AASB 15. These are recognised on a contract-by-contract basis when evidence supports that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of revenue recognised will not occur. The assessment of revenue on construction contracts resulting from variations and claims was a focus of our audit due to the audit effort in assessing this across bespoke projects and contracting arrangements. o correspondence between the Group and the customer; o the Group’s legal basis for the variations and claims, including, where necessary, external legal opinions; and o the Group’s analysis of the amounts they consider meet the recognition requirement of highly probable, using our knowledge of the Group’s historical experience in resolving variations and claims, and considering the commercial factors specific to each variation or claim and quality of information underpinning the amounts recognised. Sale of development Properties (A$610m) Refer to Note 4 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group develops for sale both built form products (for example residential apartments, and commercial and retail buildings) and residential land lots. It is the Group’s policy for development revenue to be recognised when control transfers to the purchaser, based on an assessment of the contractual terms of sale. This was a key audit matter due to the volume of transactions that occur across multiple jurisdictions. In addition, the assessment of cost of sales includes judgement as cost allocation for site infrastructure costs is typically based on the proportion of revenue for each unit, lot or building as compared to total forecast project revenue. Whilst there have been delays in timing of residential land settlements due to flooding on the east coast of Australia, these do not impact the Group’s revenue recognition policy for residential land lots as revenue is recognised on settlement. Our procedures included: • Evaluating and testing management’s review and approval of development revenue and cost forecasting; • Selecting a sample of settlements, across multiple jurisdictions, during the year. For the sample selected we: - compared revenue recognised to contractual terms of sale and cash settlements; - assessed the Group’s determination of when control transfers by a detailed analysis of the contractual terms of sale against the criteria in the accounting standards; - assessed the Group’s cost allocation methodology against the requirements of the accounting standards; - tested the application of the cost allocation methodology by comparing allocated costs to revenue recognised in the year relative to the total project revenue; and - assessed total project revenue by comparing expected sales prices to published industry forecasts and comparable sales prices achieved in the year, being alert to the impacts of current challenging market conditions. 178
Lendlease Annual Report 2022
Recoverability of Development Property Inventory (A$3,110m) Refer to Note 11 ‘Inventories’ to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit It is the Group’s policy to capitalise development costs into inventory over the life of its projects. Development costs include the purchase of land, site infrastructure costs, construction costs for built form products and borrowing costs. It is the Group’s policy to carry inventory at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The recoverability therefore of these capitalised development costs is a significant judgement made by the Group, and their assessment is based on forecasts of: • sales prices; and • construction and infrastructure costs to complete the development. Where a development is forecast to be loss making and the inventory is no longer considered to be recoverable, the Group considers it to be impaired and it is their policy for an expense to be recognised. This was a key audit matter for us due to: • current year Development Property Inventory write-down booked of $289m as a result of the Group’s strategic review of four projects increasing our focus in this area; and • many developments being long term which increases the level of forecasting judgement and audit complexity in assessing estimated sales prices and future costs to complete the development. We considered the heightened risk in estimating future sales prices, the timing of sales, and future costs as a result of current economic conditions. Our procedures included: • Selecting a sample of projects for testing using: - Data Analytic routines based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors, related to size, duration and risk of projects; and - the Group’s project reporting tool. • For the sample selected, we: - compared expected sales prices to published industry forecasts and comparable sales prices achieved in the year, being alert to the impacts of current challenging market conditions; - tested a sample of forecast construction and infrastructure costs to underlying supplier contracts, historical experience of similar costs, and our industry expectation of cost contingency levels and cost escalation assumptions; and assessed expected sales prices, the volumes of sales expected each period and holding costs in light of current challenging market conditions, using our industry knowledge; - for certain asset portfolios, compared long term market assumptions to our in-house macroeconomic view. • For projects subject to the Group’s strategic review, we challenged key assumptions included in the Group’s internal recoverability assessments, such as expected sales prices and exit costs. We did this using our knowledge of the underlying project and knowledge of the market; and by comparing to relevant external sources, such as legal agreements and valuations. • Assessing disclosures included in the financial report highlighting the key factors in determining recoverability of development property inventory, using our understanding obtained from our testing and against the requirements of the accounting standards.

179
Asset Valuation Refer to Note 12 ‘Equity Accounted Investments’ (A$4,379m), Note 13 ‘Other Financial Assets’ (A$1,205m) and Note 26 ‘Fair Value Measurement’ to the Financial Report The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit The Group is required to assess the value of equity accounted investments and other financial assets at each reporting date. The fair value of the properties held by various investment entities directly impacts the Group’s interests in these assets. Valuations of assets are generally performed by the Group using internal valuation methodologies (discounted cash flow or capitalised income approach) or through the use of external valuation experts. External valuations are obtained on a routine basis by the Group each year, with the remaining investments being valued internally. Other financial assets are predominantly investments in entities which in turn own commercial and retail property. Accordingly, the Group’s valuation assumptions are predominantly the capitalisation of earnings rates, discount rates, future rental income, and leasing incentives. Equity accounted investments include the Group’s interest in the retirement living business. The key assumptions used by the Group in determining the value of retirement villages are discount rates, changes in village residents, current units/homes market prices and pricing growth rates. Whilst interest rates are rising in global markets, real estate valuations have remained relatively stable to date. The assessment of the valuations of these assets is a key audit matter as they: • contain certain forward-looking assumptions, with higher estimation uncertainty given current economic conditions and the pandemic, which are inherently challenging to audit; Our procedures included: • Selecting a sample of valuations performed by the Group, based on the significance of the asset to the Group’s financial position and performance; • Assessing the scope, competence and objectivity of external valuation experts engaged by the Group for assets valued by external valuation experts; • Assessing the impact of market uncertainty caveats included in valuations performed by the Group’s external valuation experts on the extent of our testing of key assumptions; • Evaluating and testing management’s review and approval of internal valuations based on the Group’s policies for internally valued assets; • Assessing the valuation methodology for consistency with accounting standards and industry practice for the asset’s class; • Working with our real estate valuation specialists, we compare key assumptions with market data published by commercial real estate agents, previous external valuations, our knowledge of the industry, and/or our knowledge of the asset and its historical performance. Key assumptions include: - discount rates - changes in village residents - units/home current market prices - pricing growth rates - capitalisation of earnings rates - future rental income - leasing incentives • Assessing disclosures included in the financial report highlighting the estimates and judgements in determining fair values of the Group’s equity accounted investments and other financial assets. We used our understanding obtained from our testing against the requirements of the accounting standards. 180

securityholders with a registered address
in Australia or New Zealand to build
their securityholdings without incurring
transaction costs. The laws of other
countries make it difficult for us to
offer securities in this way. Lendlease
securityholders are able to reinvest their
distributions to acquire more Lendlease
securities through the Distribution
Reinvestment Plan (DRP) or the Share
Election Plan (SEP). Securityholders may
also make contributions of between $500
and $2,500 to acquire new Lendlease
securities under the Share Purchase Plan
(SPP). Together the DRP, SEP and SPP
constitute the Share Accumulation Plan.
The rules of each of these plans are
set out in the Share Accumulation Plan
Information Sheet. Copies are available
on the Lendlease website. Please note
that the Share Election Plan and the Share
Purchase Plan are currently suspended.

• March and September
distribution statements.
Electronic communications
Securityholders have the option of
receiving the following communications
and all other Company related
information electronically:
• Annual Report
• Distribution statements
• Notice of Annual General Meetings.
Lendlease makes the Annual Report
available in an online version. A hard
copy of the Annual Report will only be
sent to those securityholders who elect
to receive it in that form. In addition,
securityholders may elect to receive
notification when the Annual Report is
available online.
Securityholders who wish to register
their email address should go to the
website of the Lendlease share registry

For registry contact details, see page 184.
Privacy legislation
Under Chapter 2C of the Corporations
Act 2001, a securityholder’s information
(including their name, address and details
of securities held) is required to be
included in Lendlease’s public register.
This information must continue to be
included in Lendlease’s public register
for seven years after a person ceases
to be a securityholder. These statutory
obligations are not altered by the Privacy
Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.
Information is collected to administer the
securityholder’s holding and if some or
all of the information is not collected,
then it may not be possible to administer
the holding. Lendlease’s privacy policy is
available on its website.
