Folkestone Outlook

Market Outlook – Greg Paramor

Australian Market Conditions – Office

29

As at July 2013, CBD office vacancy rates ranged from 6.9% in Perth to 12.8% in Brisbane

Demand varies across CBD markets

Sydney recorded the smallest increase (+ 70bps) in vacancy rate in FY13 and Brisbane the largest increase (+ 460bps)

demand in FY13 was significantly below the 20 year historical average – occupied space contracted by 61,663sqm

demand soft in mining related CBD’s (Perth and Brisbane)

Lower rental growth and higher incentives (already pushing 25% - 30% along the eastern seaboard) expected in FY14

Supply levels are low in most CBD markets (Melbourne excluded) before next wave of supply hits in 2015/16 particularly in Sydney (Barrangaroo) and Perth

Office assets with high occupancy, superior tenant quality and location will continue to be well sought after by investors

Some secondary assets will continue to be under pricing pressure – unless there is an opportunity to refurbish, re-let or re-position

Australian Market Conditions – Retail

30

Retail environment remains challenging

Low consumer confidence keeping retail spending below trend especially in the discretionary retail sector

Cyclical factors (price discounting, low consumer sentiment and continued high savings levels) and structural issues (internet penetration and changing retail formats) continue to impact retailers

Rental growth has slowed, incentives are increasing and vacancy rates are rising especially in secondary centres

Competition between centres will continue to drive defensive investment by owners to improve amenity, maintain occupancy and drive foot traffic

Grocery anchored neighbourhood centres and super regional destination centres should perform better than other types of retail centres

Sub-regional centres and secondary centres in poor locations or with poor tenancy mixes are more likely to be impacted by the cyclical and structural changes impacting the retail sector

Australian Market Conditions – Industrial

31

Industrial currently attracting significant investor interest Strong demand from A-REITs (Goodman, Mirvac, GPT, Dexus) and

private investors

Fife Capital industrial REIT IPO well supported

Approximately $1bn worth of investment in H1 2013 with Sydney the focus of buyer activity

Industrial attractive to investors for a number of reasons

yields - prime grade Sydney industrial yields range between 7.75% and 8.25%

typically long term leasing structures with fixed increases

changes to the structure economy (decline of local manufacturing, growing online retailing and improved infrastructure) driving increased demand for distribution and logistic centres

Increasing industrial development activity driving up supply across most markets1

nationally c. 367,000sqm of stock is under construction with 61,000sqm in Sydney – driven by active pre-leasing activity

Melbourne has 122,021sqm under construction with lower pre-commitments putting pressure on rents and incentives (averaging 12%)

Two tier market with prime assets in strong demand whilst secondary assets not as well supported

Australian Market Conditions – Residential

32

Housing recovery is strong in Sydney and Perth however is patchy across the rest of the capital city markets

Buyer activity varies

first home buyers subdued - 14.7% of the loan market in July 2013 (down from 31.9% in May 2009 and below 20yr average of 19.9%)

investor activity is increasing - loans to investors 36% of total loans in June 2013, above 20 year average of 32%

New home sales up and auction clearance rates improving

sales activity up in four months to June 2013

Sydney and Melbourne averaging above 60% in recent months with Sydney topping 84% on 14 Sep 2013

Rental growth remains strong as vacancies remain low

median Sydney inner ring rents $575/wk up 4.5% year to June 13

national vacancy rate 2.1% and 1.8% in Sydney (as at Aug 2013)

Sydney should lead the recovery given limited price growth over past decade and low levels of construction activity

Medium term outlook positive – high population growth, demographic changes, undersupply of dwellings and growing acceptance of medium density accommodation forcing developers to rethink what consumers want

Early Learning Sector

33

Graph Source: ABS 1 Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations – Childcare in Australia - August 2013

The key drivers of the early learning sector:

demand for childcare services remain strong

birth rates has grown steadily - 2012 birth rate at an all time high

increased female participation rate in the labour force, supporting demand for long day care

recognition of social and educational benefits of early learning in children aged 1-5 years

government assisting with access to childcare, largely through Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate schemes, with the government forecast to spend $22bn to 2016-171

population of children less than 5 years in the catchment area of a centre drives occupancy and profitability

State of the market:

there are 6,192 long day care centres in Australia, an increase of 1,635 centres or 35.9% since 20041

since 2004, the number of children using long day care centres has increased by 39.5 per cent to 615,630 children1

49.2% of 3 to 5 year olds used childcare in 2012, up from 43.0% in 2006. In the 0-2 years age cohort, 31.4% used childcare compared to 26.9% in 20061

there continues to be unmet demand, as evidenced by healthy waiting lists, in many areas across Australia.
