Industrial property owner Goodman Group has maintained its full-year earnings forecast as it continues to expand globally.

“We are performing strongly, with accelerating business activity in our key markets around the world,” chief executive officer Greg Goodman told the company’s annual general meeting in Sydney on Friday.

He said Goodman still expected to post earnings per security of 32.3 cents for the 2012/13 financial year, up six per cent from the previous year.

Goodman recently expanded its operations in Brazil and north America, and also operates in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and Europe.
