    Retirement LivingWe have a clear strategy to continue to grow returnsin the Retirement Living business by improvingscale and ef ciency. Our ability to grow is largely inour control, with a strong development pipeline at

    sites we already own, ef ciency improvements wellin train, and a commitment to maintain consistentlyhigh customer satisfaction.

    The Retirement Living business continues todeliver against its strategy with a solid resultdespite the soft residential market. Operatingpro t was up six per cent on the previous yearand return on assets also rose, thanks to arecord number of settlements.

    OutlookHaving assessed the business and put our revisedstrategy into action, I am con dent we will see asteady improvement in Stocklands earnings fromFY14 as new Retail, Residential and Retirement

    Living projects begin to contribute, and as recentIndustrial letting, rental growth and cost reductioninitiatives begin to come through.

    However, improvement in Residential earningswill likely be constrained as we continue to tradethrough impaired and low margin projects. It willalso take some time to see the full bene ts of ournew strategic priorities, particularly in Industrialand medium density housing development.

    We are targeting FY14 earnings per share of fourto six per cent above FY13, assuming there is nomaterial decline in market conditions.

    I am con dent that the strategic direction we haveset, the new leadership appointments we havemade and the actions we have taken this year willposition us well to deliver sustainable, competitiveand growing returns into the future.

    Mark Steinert Managing Director and CEO

    I have seen what setsour business apart quality assets, a strongand ethical corporateculture, and people witha passion for creatinggreat places to live,shop and work.

    Industrial NOI decreased 18 per cent fromFY12 (comparable NOI down 10.9 per cent)mainly due to FY12 asset sales and FY13

    lease expiries. Leases were executed onaround 288,000 sqm of space during theyear and as a result Weighted AverageLease Expiry increased to 3.3 years(from 2.7 years in FY12).

    We expect continued solid underlyingdemand for industrial space with marketconditions likely to remain stable. As a resultof re-letting and redevelopment activityalready underway, we expect to achieve NOI

    growth from the Industrial por tfolio in FY14.We will look to grow our portfolio, targeting$1.21.5 billion in assets in ve years. We willfocus on actively leasing, upgrading anddeveloping the existing portfolio, sourcingpre-commitments and completing designand construct, and assessing assets that tstrategic lters and investment criteria.

    Net Operating Income

    $63m

    Net Operating Income

    $119mOverall, of ce demand is weak relative to supply.Of ce vacancy and high incentives remain anindustry issue. By tightly managing our Of ce

    assets we lifted comparable NOI 1.8 per centfrom FY12 or 6.6 per cent pre-IFRS.

    Occupancy increased to 96 per cent and ourWeighted Average Lease Expiry was higherat 4.6 years. Total NOI was down 16 per centcompared to FY12, re ecting our businessstrategy of divesting non-core of ce assetsthat do not meet our hurdles.

    We will retain a tactical exposure to of ce andwill continue to focus on maximising returnsfrom the portfolio. Income will be optimisedin the short to medium term with a focus onactive management, refurbishment andleasing. We will also look to take advantageof value-add opportunities within the existingportfolio, consider joint ventures (or part sales)as appropriate, and progressively down-weight when market conditions are optimal.

    We are committedto ensuring that ourremuneration policiesare fair, responsible andcompetitive and thatwe communicate ourremuneration arrangementswith full transparency.We undertook a thoroughreview of our remunerationpolicies and practicesin FY12.On an ongoing basis, the Board monitors ourremuneration policies and practices to ensurethat they remain in line with current best practice,are consistent with anticipated regulatory changesand market trends, and continue to be effectiveto meet our changing business priorities and

    market challenges.Our remuneration structure has threecomponents: xed remuneration (Fixed Pay); performance-based pay, or short-term

    incentives (STI); and long-term incentives (LTI).

    There were no material changes to the remunerationarrangements for our existing Senior Executivesbut the remuneration arrangements for our newManaging Director and CEO Mark Steinert, whocommenced in January 2013, differ from those ofour previous Managing Director Matthew Quinn.

    In FY13, for the second consecutive year, weawarded no Fixed Pay increases to our SeniorExecutives continuing our prudent approach toremuneration management.

    The total short-term incentives (STI) for allemployees and those awarded to our SeniorExecutives are signi cantly down from FY12.

    These outcomes re ect the Boards assessmentof performance against the measures outlined inour Corporate Scorecard. We believe that thesemeasures create appropriate alignment for ouremployees with our securityholders interestsand encourage proper management of risk indelivering business objectives.

    58/60

    Detailed documentation of data collection andreporting protocols exist for a number of keysustainability metrics (including energy,greenhouse emissions, operational wasteand water) in some areas of the business.Documentation of corresponding processes forthe same metrics in other parts of the businessesrequire further development. In addition,documented data protocols for other key datametrics should be improved to maintainconsistency in year on year reportingmethodologies. Net Balance also recommendsthat Stockland documents the established

    stakeholder engagement and materialityassessment processes occurring across thebusiness to ensure continuity and consistencyof approach over time.
