ALE has a policy of only paying distributions from free cash flow, subject to the minimum requirement to distribute taxable income of the trust under the Trust Deed. Distributable Profit is a non-IFRS measure that shows how free cash flow is calculated by ALE and hence how distributions are determined. Distributable Profit excludes items such as unrealised fair value (increments)/decrements arising from the effect of revaluing derivatives and investment property, non-cash expenses and non-cash financing costs. The reconciliation between Operating Profit before Tax and Distributable Profit has not been audited or reviewed by KPMG. .

* Utilisation percentage is approximate only and excludes Dan Murphy’s and other additions made by ALH
Opportunity exists for ALH to expand its land utilisation across ALE’s portfolio
Any positive EBITDAR impact from land utilisation to be included in future market rent reviews
Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Management Limited ABN 45 105 275 278Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Trust ARSN 106 063 049
ALE is unable to provide forecasts of future ALH EBITDAR growth and corresponding market rent
Rent reviewed to market at 2018 (10% cap / collar), at 2028 and on ALH electing to extend, each 10 years to 2058 (open)
Independent valuers advise that market rent for pub properties in Australia is usually set at between 35% and 45% of the pub operator’s EBITDAR
Capital expenditure by ALH, ALH’s operating capability and Victorian gaming reforms are materially increasing ALH’s EBITDAR. This is all positive for future market rent reviews
PropertiesMarket Rent Outlook

Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Management Limited ABN 45 105 275 278Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Trust ARSN 106 063 049
Statutory valuations by CBRE/Urbis adopt comparable property capitalisation rates and 10 year discounted cash flow (DCF) methodologies
All CBRE/Urbis June 2013 valuations assumed that a 10% increase in rent would occur in 2018. They included little if any value arising from the 2028 open market rent reviews. If these open reviews are included then the property valuations may change
ALE currently considers that a portfolio purchaser may be prepared to pay a premium for the portfolio given the value inherent in both the unique leasing arrangements and the independent valuers’ positive outlook for market rent

PropertiesALE & ALH: A quality and sustainable pub landlord and tenant arrangement
Capital city located properties with long term record of pub operation
Investment grade tenant with strong commitment to pub operations
Profitable tenant with capacity and willingness to fund capital expenditure
Rents are substantially below market rent levels given the operator’s strong profit profile
Sustainable longer term relationship between rent and operator profit driven by annual uncapped inflation indexed and market rent review in 2018
Triple net lease structure that ensures the tenant as operator has the freedom and incentive to make property improvements to maximise operating profit
Cross defaulting leases that maximise tenant compliance across the portfolio

Case Study – Property RedevelopmentALE & ALH: A quality and sustainable pub landlord and tenant arrangement
Racehorse Hotel, Booval/Ipswich, Brisbane, QLD
Acquired in 2003 for $1.90m with 25 year triple net lease at cap rate of 9.0%
Independent valuation of $2.74m as at June 2007 at a cap rate of 5.72%
ALH redeveloped the hotel in 2009-11 at a cost to ALH of around $8m
New improvements feature new hotel, bistro and Dan Murphy’s
Rent remained unchanged as part of development process
Hotel EBITDAR for ALH is now significantly higher than before development
Rent will be reset to market having regard to the EBITDAR of the hotel - in 2018 (10% collar) and 2028 (open)
Independent valuation of $3.05m as at June 2013 at a cap rate of 5.72% does not yet fully recognise the capital expenditure and resulting profitability improvements

During the period ALE’s properties demonstrated their quality by increasing in value
Cyclically low interest rates locked in for the long term from simplified hedging is expected to provide significant ongoing value to securityholders

ALE will continue to review acquisition opportunities that meet our strict strategy and criteria
FY14 Outlook and Strategy Distribution Guidance
Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Management Limited ABN 45 105 275 278Australian Leisure and Entertainment Property Trust ARSN 106 063 049
27
FY14 distribution guidance of at least 16.35 cents per security
FY14 distribution is expected to be at least 75% tax deferred
Notwithstanding long debt maturity profile, the Board is focussed on a range of refinancing options given the lower credit margins currently available
Distribution guidance includes benefits from in the money counter hedges that will be fully amortised in FY14
Materially reduced gearing position provides opportunity to maintain a stable through cycle distribution profile beyond amortisation of counter hedge benefits
All guidance assumes the existing portfolio, hedging and capital structure continues
ALE aims to grow distributions by CPI each financial year until the next refinancing
