It influences how the objectives of Goodman PLUS Trust (Trust) are set and achieved, how risk is monitored and assessed and how performance is optimised. The Trust recognises that an effective corporate governance culture is critical to success. We have designed and implemented a substantial range of governance initiatives, described in detail below, and we believe that our corporate governance systems are robust and effective. We recognise corporate governance is not static and systems will need to evolve over time to meet the demands of a changing market and corporate circumstances. At all times, we strive to achieve governance outcomes which balance the needs or requirements of the Trust, its stakeholders, regulators and the market. The corporate governance statement below outlines the ways in which the Trust has met the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (2nd Edition). Any departures to implementation of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations are described in the corporate governance statement below. As a result of the Trust not having employees of its own, and as a result of the limited business activities of the Trust, some of the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s recommendations are undertaken by Goodman Group (Goodman) rather than the Trust, as set out below.

  • Interconnection
    Interconnection 101 As cloud usage takes off, data production grows exponentially, content pushes closer to the edge, and end users demand data and applications at all hours from all locations, the ability to connect with a wide variety of players becomes ever more important. This report introduces interconnection, its key players and busi- ness models, and trends that could affect interconnection going forward. KEY FINDINGS Network-dense, interconnection-oriented facilities are not easy to replicate and are typically able to charge higher prices for colocation, as well as charging for cross-connects and, in some cases, access to public Internet exchange platforms and cloud platforms. Competition is increasing, however, and competitors are starting the long process of creating network-dense sites. At the same time, these sites are valuable and are being acquired, so the sector is consolidating. Having facili- ties in multiple markets does seem to provide some competitive advantage, particularly if the facilities are similar in look and feel and customers can monitor them all from a single portal and have them on the same contract. Mobility, the Internet of Things, services such as SaaS and IaaS (cloud), and content delivery all depend on net- work performance. In many cases, a key way to improve network performance is to push content, processing and peering closer to the edge of the Internet. This is likely to drive demand for facilities in smaller markets that offer interconnection options. We also see these trends continuing to drive demand for interconnection facilities in the larger markets as well. © 2015 451 RESEARCH, LLC AND/OR ITS AFFILIATES.

  • A Microsoft Office for Software Development with a Growing Moat, Large TAM and High-Quality Management
    Company: Atlassian (NasdaqGS: TEAM) Rainbow Chik Recommendation: Long [email protected] Price Target: $422 (79% upside/ 21% 3-yr IRR) A Microsoft Office for software development with a growing moat, large TAM and high-quality management KEY STATISTICS TRADING CHART EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Atlassian is a high-quality SaaS market leader that offers mission critical workplace collaboration and Application Development software. It is analogous to Microsoft Office for software development and is the oil that powers software development from planning, coding, deployment, support and collaboration. I believe TEAM is undervalued as the market (1) underappreciates TEAM’s moat expansion as a result of cloud migration, (2) underestimates TEAM’s strong network effect expanding in the large knowledge worker TAM, (3) overlooks management quality being long-term owner- operator and prudent capital allocator. The recently announced migration from perpetual licenses to cloud subscription presents a unique window to invest. Investors are concerned about the short-term revenue headwind and churn risk as a result of cloud migration, but my research suggests that it masked the better business potential given it leads to higher pricing power in a win-win situation and much stickier customers in the long-term. My base case valuation suggests a 79% upside from its current valuation at $236 ($423 target price). This is based upon sustained strong customer growth and subscription revenue per customer growth during and post-cloud-migration from my research. In addition, my bull/ bear case analysis suggests an attractive 3.5x upside/ downside ratio. COMPANY OVERVIEW Atlassian = Microsoft Office for software development Founded in 2002, Atlassian is an Australian SaaS market leader.
