Rural Funds Group is uniquely well-disclosed within the comp set: as an Australian REIT under IFRS, RFF carries investment property at FAIR VALUE (book = FMV by definition), AND publishes per-property values in the Annual Report (Note B1/C1). Independent valuations cover ~68% of portfolio; directors' valuations on remaining 32% (in line with most recent independent mark, with revaluations every 24 months minimum). This file uses RFF's FY25 audited per-property values as the gold-standard FMV source. All 16 land rows + 3 non-land rows tie directly to RFF's published Note C1 schedule. Total adjusted property assets: AUD $1,975.557M (incl water rights at directors' valuation = $1,856.762M without directors' uplift). CRITICAL CHANGES vs prior version of this file: • Prior version aggregated to 6 sectors with old data tied to ~AUD $1,587M (FY23-era mark) • Added 16 individual property rows + 3 non-land rows (JBS feedlot, water rights, other infra) • TRG JV macadamia development surfaced as separate row (AUD $310.8M = 16% of total) — major buildout FY23-25 missed by old aggregation • Cattle land split into 5 sub-region rows (Northern QLD extensive at $142/acre vs Central QLD developed at $1,517/acre vs NSW Northern Tablelands at $5,442/acre vs WA at $2,278/acre vs VIC alpine at $3,293/acre) — proper differentiation by carrying capacity / pasture quality • Total acres updated: 1.69M → 1.83M (740,107 ha = total cattle + cropping + macadamia + almond + vineyard land) • Mayneland + Baamba Plains 50% sales to TRG (Dec-2024) reflected in reduced FY25 values • Per-property cap rate ranges align with RFF's disclosed valuation inputs (Note C1 page 64): discount rates 6.5-14.5%, terminal cap rates 7.75-9.0%; my land-only cap rates of 5.5-8.0% reflect the bare-land portion stripped of bearer-plant risk KEY INSIGHT: RFF is the cleanest NAV reporter in the comp set — the FMV from this file should match within ±2% of RFF's published Adjusted NAV per unit (AUD $3.08). The Live-price-vs-NAV comparison shows pure market-vs-NAV discount. SECTOR PRICING ANCHORS (per RFF FY25 audited): - Almond orchards (NSW): $42-46K AUD/acre (3 properties, $450M total) - Macadamia orchards: $42K AUD/acre TRG JV (40-year lease) vs $56K AUD/acre RFF own mature - Vineyards (SA + VIC): $37K AUD/acre (5 properties, $59M) - Cropping (irrigated): $2-7K AUD/acre depending on infrastructure - Cattle stations: WIDE range — $142/acre extensive northern QLD to $5,442/acre NSW Northern Tablelands - Water rights: $5,060 AUD/ML weighted (25,419 ML, $128.6M) RFF's revenue split (FY26f): Cattle 36% + Almonds 29% + Macadamias 21% + Cropping 5% + Vineyards 4% + Other 4%.
