- The company has a robust data center pipeline with over $15 billion in work in progress, including nearly 500 megawatts of capacity, and has secured a 20-year lease with a global hyperscaler for the first 50-megawatt phase of its Tsukuba Tech Central project.
- Goodman Group (GMGSF) maintains a strong financial position with low gearing at 6.5% and $6.4 billion in cash and undrawn lines, providing significant liquidity to fund its development program.
- The company has successfully raised over $60 billion in debt and third-party equity over the past five years, demonstrating strong capital management and partnership capabilities.
- Goodman Group (GMGSF) is well-positioned for future growth with a substantial development workbook, targeting 9% EPS growth for FY27, and expects further data center leases to be signed over the coming period.
- Management revenue decreased by $147 million, primarily due to lower performance and transactional revenues, which fell from $372 million to $206 million year-over-year.
