Price Performance

Growth Potential
- Portfolio of assets well diversified by geographies (located in major population centres) and tenants (currently have 35 tenant partners with no individual tenant accounting for more than 21% of income).
- Sector leading long term WALE of 18.4 years with 100% occupancy.
- The vast majority of the portfolio (>75% of income) is structured with an annual rent escalation that is the higher of CPI or an agreed fixed amount - typically 3%. This provides continued income growth linked to CPI in periods of high inflation and provides a floor on rent growth as inflation moderates.
- Supportive government policies should be supportive of the childcare / ELC sector. Reforms introduced over the last two years are expected to further increase demand by improving affordability and access for families (including the announced removal of the activity test in the government's three-day guarantee bill recently passed).
- Better than expected rental growth due to CPI linked increases or rent reviews.
- Potential upside from its development pipeline in childcare centres.
- Solid balance sheet.
- Strong and experienced management team.
- Strong tenant profile.
Key Risks
- Property portfolio fundamentals risks. Assets in the portfolio are subject to risks from deterioration in the property fundamentals such as cap rates, rents received from tenants and rental growth, expense risks, net asset values, occupancy rates, tenancy risk and costs, weighted average lease expiry.
- Deteriorating economic and demographic trends will impact assets.
- Development risks. Poor execution or delays in the development or redevelopment of existing properties may affect the rental income and value of assets of the Company.
- Adverse interest rate movements affect bond-proxy stocks.
- Management performance risks. The Company relies on the expertise of managers to manage assets, asset recycling (acquisitions and divestments), and to execute the strategy.
