119、debt facility in June 2024,keeping the facility limit unchanged at$500 million but extending the maturity dates.The Group has a$100 million facility expiring 31 May 2027,a$200 million facility expiring 31 May 2028 and a$200 million facility expiring 31 May 2029,providing a remaining weighted average
120、 term of 4.1 years as at 30 June 2024;The balance drawn increased by$35 million to fund acquisitions and development capital expenditure,offset by proceeds from asset disposals;Gearing was 22.6%at 30 June 2024(30 June 2023:21.0%);The Group was fully compliant with all bank facility covenants through
121、out FY2024 and as at 30 June 2024.At 30 June 2024 the Loan to Valuation Ratio was 24.9%(Covenant:50%)and the Interest Cover Ratio was 4.9 times(Covenant:2.0 times).Interest rate management Active swaps in place as at 30 June 2024 have a notional value of$285 million and cover 76%of borrowings(2023:8
122、8%).The weighted average fixed rate for active swaps is 2.03%(2023:2.03%)and the weighted average term is 2.6 years(2023:3.5 years).During the year,the Group entered into forward start interest rate swaps with a notional value of$120 million.These swaps have a weighted average fixed interest swap ra
123、te of 3.82%and weighted average term of 4.0 years,with commencement dates throughout FY2025 and FY2026.FY2025 OUTLOOK The Group has provided FY2025 distribution guidance of 18.25 cents per security,which represents an increase of 4.9%on FY2024.FY2025 distribution guidance is estimated on a status qu
124、o basis,assuming no new acquisitions or disposals and no material change in current market or operating conditions after the date of this report.SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN STATE OF AFFAIRS In the opinion of the directors,other than the matters identified in this report,there were no significant changes
125、in the state of affairs of the Group that occurred during the financial year.MATTERS SUBSEQUENT TO THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR On 23 July 2024,the Group announced that it had exchanged contracts,entered into heads of agreement or was in exclusive due diligence to acquire and develop additional soc
126、ial infrastructure properties with a total investment of$92 million.In conjunction with these acquisitions,the Group undertook a fully underwritten Institutional Placement of$120 million.On 1 August 2024,the Group issued a Security Purchase Plan for eligible Australian and New Zealand investors to r
127、aise up to$20 million.The offer remains open as at the date of this report.Other than those matters identified above,no matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2024 that has significantly affected,or may significantly affect:(i)the operations of the Group in future financial years;or(ii)the
128、results of those operations in future financial years;or(iii)the state of affairs of the Group in future financial years.LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS AND EXPECTED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Group will continue to be managed in accordance with its existing investment objectives and guidelines.The results of th
129、e Groups operations will be affected by a number of factors,including the performance of investment markets in which the Group invests.Investment performance is not guaranteed and future returns may differ from past returns.As investment conditions change over time,past returns should not be used to
130、 predict future returns.22DIRECTORS REPORT CONTINUEDMATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS The material business risks that could adversely affect the achievement of the Groups financial prospects are as follows.The Group has in place a Risk Management Policy and Framework under which it identifies,assesses,monito
131、rs and manages these risks.Macroeconomic risk The operations and performance of the Group is influenced by the macroeconomic condition of the Australian and the wider global economy.A prolonged economic downturn and its related effects,including increasing rates of unemployment,in addition to other
132、factors such as inflation and rising interest rates,could have a material adverse impact on the Groups business or financial performance including asset valuations,income,expenses and cashflows.The Groups development activity may be impacted by supply chain disruption and the impact of cost-escalati
133、on and labour shortages in the construction industry.Concentration risk The Groups property portfolio is presently 91%invested in ELCs and ELC development sites and 9%in healthcare assets.Adverse events to the early learning and/or healthcare property sectors may result in general deterioration of t
134、enants ability to meet their lease obligations and the future growth prospects of the portfolio.As at 30 June 2024,61%of the portfolio by income(excluding developments)is leased to the largest four tenants(Goodstart Early Learning 23%,Green Leaves Early Learning 18%,Edge Early Learning 11%,and Affin
135、ity Education 9%).Any material deterioration in the operating performance of the Groups tenants may result in them not meeting their lease obligations which could reduce the Groups income and portfolio value if a suitable replacement cannot be found.Tenant risk The Group relies on tenants to generat
136、e its revenue.Tenants may be not-for-profit companies,private entities or listed public companies.If a tenant is affected by financial difficulties they may default on their rental or other contractual obligations which may result in loss of rental income and loss in value of the Groups properties.T
137、ypically,tenants are required to provide an unconditional and irrevocable bank guarantee,which must not expire until at least six months after the ultimate expiry date of the lease,as security for their performance under the lease.Refer to note 8(d)for further details on tenancy risk for the portfol
138、io.Climate change risk Extreme weather and other climate change related events have the potential to damage the Groups investment properties and disrupt tenant operations.Such events may increase tenant costs for maintenance,the cost,deductibles or availability of insurance,the ability to re-lease i
139、nvestment properties in the future and the rent levels for which they can be leased,thereby affecting future investment property valuations and rental cash flows.The precise nature of these risks is uncertain as it depends on complex factors such as policy change,technology development,market forces
140、,and the links between these factors and climatic conditions.To help mitigate the risk of localised valuation impacts on the Group,the investment property portfolio is geographically diversified.Active asset management of the portfolio can also assist with mitigating this risk.Changes to existing re
141、gulatory regimes or the introduction of new regulatory regimes(including environmental or climate change related regulation)may also increase the cost of compliance,reporting and maintenance of assets.Government policy risk and change in lawChildcare and healthcare operators rely heavily on governme
142、nt funding which,if reduced or otherwise modified,may adversely impact the underlying demand for these services and therefore tenants ability to meet lease obligations and/or their demand for these properties.There is a risk that there may be material adverse changes in legislation,government polici
143、es or legal or judicial interpretation relating to the childcare and/or healthcare sectors.Property valuations Changes in the property market,especially changes in the valuation of properties and in market rents,may adversely affect the Groups financial performance and the price of ARF securities.Cy
144、ber securityThe Group leverages IT systems,networks and data to operate efficiently.Managing potential IT system failures and cybersecurity breaches is an area of focus for the Group to ensure it manages the risk of loss of sensitive information,operational disruption,reputational damage,fines and p
145、enalties.ARENA REIT ANNUAL REPORT 202423MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS CONTINUEDCyber security continuedThe following measures are in place to help protect the business and employees from cybersecurity related threats:providing a digitally safe working environment,both in the office and for remote working;
146、protecting systems,networks and end-point devices;mandatory training for all employees to identify and manage potential threats;vulnerability testing and security event monitoring to identify and respond to threats;embedding policies to safely control,access and manage data and privacy,for both empl
147、oyees and third parties;and simulated cyber attacks and recovery exercises to enhance resilience and identify potential improvement opportunities.Capital ManagementCapital market volatility may impact our ability to transact and access suitable capital.The Group manages this risk by:acquiring and de
148、veloping new assets on capital efficient terms;retaining a strong balance sheet and relatively low gearing;actively managing debt expiries;maintaining a disciplined and prudent approach to capital management and hedging;maintaining liquidity in excess of funding requirements;and engaging with debt a
149、nd equity investors to regularly update them about the business.AFSL financial compliance riskThe Group is exposed to the risk of having inadequate capital and liquidity.Arena REIT Management Limited,a subsidiary of ARL,holds an Australian Financial Services License(AFSL)and acts as a responsible en
150、tity for the Groups managed investment schemes.The AFSL requires minimum levels of net tangible assets,liquid assets,cash reserves and liquidity,which may restrict the Group in paying dividends that would breach these requirements.The directors regularly review and monitor the Groups balance sheet t
151、o ensure ARMLs compliance with its AFSL requirements.INFORMATION ON DIRECTORSThe directors during the financial year were:David Ross,Independent Non-Executive ChairDavid has over 35 years ASX listed company and corporate experience in the property and property funds management industries in Australi

175、tives.The FY2024 economic and investment environment has been characterised by relatively high inflation and interest rates creating uncertainty and cost of living pressures.Notwithstanding the challenging environment,Arenas financial performance in FY2024 was underpinned by discipline across invest
