GPT MANAGEMENT HOLDINGS LIMITED AND ITS CONTROLLED ENTITIES

DIRECTORS' REPORT

For the year ended 31 December 2021

The Directors of GPT Management Holdings Limited (the Company), present their report together with the financial statements of GPT Management Holdings Limited and its controlled entities (the Consolidated Entity) for the full year ended 31 December 2021. The Consolidated Entity is a for profit entity and is stapled to the General Property Trust (Trust). The GPT Group (GPT or the Group) financial statements include the results of the stapled entity as a whole.

GPT Management Holdings Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The registered office and principal place of business is Level 51, 25 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000.

onlyGPT is a vertically integrated diversified property group that owns and actively manages a $26.9 billion portfolio of high quality Australian office, logistics and retail assets. The Group leverages its real estate management platform to enhance returns through property development and funds management.

1. OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Consolidated Entity's results are largely driven by the results of the Trust and the Wholesale Funds managed by the Consolidated Entity given that ma agement and other fees are driven by the asset value and performance of the underlying properties within these entities.

Ab ut GPT

Listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since 1971, today The GPT Group is a constituent of the S&P/ASX 50 Index with a substantial useinv stor base of more than 32,000 securityholders.

GPT's vision is to be the most respected property company in Australia in the eyes of our investors, people, customers and communities. Our purpose is to create value for investors by providing high quality real estate spaces that enable people to excel and our customers and communities to prosper in a

u tainable way.

Review of operations and operating result

The Group commenced 2021 with solid momentum and expected to deliver an increase in Funds From Operations. Our interim results demonstrated that we were on track to deliver on these expectations however momentum was disrupted at the end of the second quarter when governments commenced instituting various measures to prevent the spread of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in the community. This culminated in restrictive lockdown measures that extended into the fourth quarter of 2021. The measures implemented by the New South Wales and Victorian governments also

personal

31 Dec 20

inc uded the reintroduction of the Commercial Tenancy Code of Conduct requiring landlords to provide relief to eligible tenants in the form of rent waivers nd rent payment deferral. The impact was mainly felt across our Retail assets where only essential stores were able to continue trading. Leasing ctivity in the Office sector also slowed as customers delayed leasing decisions while most office staff were working from home. Pleasingly, our Logistics

portfolio remained resilient throughout the period. When restrictions eased, we saw a strong recovery in Retail rent collection and leasing activity across the Retail and Office portfolios.

Despite the lockdown measures; we continued to make good progress on implementing our strategy to increase our weighting to the Logistics sector, successfully completing several acquisitions and developments. Logistics now represents approximately 27 per cent of the Group's diversified property p rtf lio.

Office developments at 32 Smith and the GPT Wholesale Office Fund's Queen & Collins were completed during the year and the Fund's development at 51 Flinders Lane commenced in December. We progressed masterplans for mixed-use development schemes at Highpoint Shopping Centre and the Rou e Hill Town Centre. Post the period, we also announced the sale of a non-core retail asset Casuarina Square owned jointly by GPT and the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund.

The Group's gearing at the end of 2021 of 28.2 per cent remains below the mid-point of our target range of between 25 - 35 per cent, and our balance sheet liquidity position remains strong providing additional capacity for growth.

The Consolidated Entity's financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2021 is summarised below.

The net profit after tax for the year ended 31 December 2021 is $22,503,000 (2020: $67,373,000 loss).

Consolidated Entity result

The net profit after tax compared to the loss recognised 2021, combined with increased proceeds from the sale expense and impairment expense compared to 2020.

at 31 December 2020 is largely due to the revaluation increment of financial instruments in of inventory and higher fund management fees, partially offset by increased remuneration

Property management fees increased to $22,357,000 in 2021 (2020: $19,969,000) primarily as a result of increased property revenue associated with lower impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to 2020 including lower recognition of rent waivers for tenants affected by the pandemic.

Office

The Consolidated Entity is responsible for property management activities across the office sector. Property management fees increased to $14,448,000 in 2021 (2020: $13,520,000) primarily as a result of lower membership fee waivers provided to Space&Co members during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous year and increased property management fees as more assets became operational.

Logistics

The Consolidated Entity is responsible for property management activities across the logistics sector. Property management fees increased to

$3,267,000 in 2021 (2020: $2,885,000) as a result of property acquisitions and the conversion of properties from development assets to operating

GPT QuadReal Logistics Trust (GQLT)

Proceeds from sale of inventory increased sigificantly to $34,864,000 due to the compulsory acquisition of land at Rouse Hill and increased Metroplex sales during the year.

Other income

Expenses

Expenses have decreased by 12 per cent overall to $203,992,000 compared to previous year primarily due to the revaluation increment of financial arrangements, offset partially by an increase in remuneration expenses caused by the reinstatement of the bonus scheme in the current year and increased costs relating to the sale of inventory.
