Not financial product advice: Please note that Australian Pipeline Limited is not licensed to provide financial product advice in relation to securities in the APA Group. This presentation is for information purposes only and is not financial product or investment advice or a recommendation to acquire APA Group securities and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individuals.

Past performance: Past performance information given in this presentationis given for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of future performance.
Future performance: This presentation contains certain “forward‐looking statements” such as indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance. Forward‐looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward‐looking words such as, 'expect', 'anticipate', 'likely', 'intend', 'could', 'may', 'predict', 'plan', 'propose', 'will', 'believe', 'forecast', 'estimate', 'target', 'outlook', 'guidance' and other similar expressions within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions and include, but are not limited to, forecast EBITDA, operating cashflow, distribution guidance and estimated asset life. Forward‐looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this presentation are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions and are subject to risk factors associated with the industries in which APA Group operates. Such forward‐looking statements, opinions and estimates are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of APA Group, and may involve significant elements of subjective judgement and assumptions as to future events which may or may not be correct. There can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not materially differ from these forward‐looking statements, opinions and estimates. A number of important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from such forward‐looking statements, opinions and estimates.
Investors should form their own views as to these matters and any assumptions on which any forward‐looking statements are based. APA Group assumes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect any change in expectations or assumptions.
Investment risk: An investment in securities in APA Group is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of APA Group. APA Group does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of APA Group.
Non‐IFRS financial measures: APA Group results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, investors should be aware that this presentation includes certain financial measures that are non‐IFRS financial measures for the purposes of providing a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of the APA Group. These non‐IFRS financial measures include EBIT, EBITDAand other “normalised” measures. Such non‐IFRS information is unaudited, however the numbers have been extracted from the audited financial statements.
Not an offer: This presentation does not constitute an offer, invitation or recommendation to subscribe for or purchase any security. In particular, this presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to persons that are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, unless they have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the U.S. Securities Act), or are offered and sold in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registrationrequirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any other applicable state securities laws.
Financial data: Investors should be aware that certain financial data included in this presentation are "non‐GAAP financial measures" under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These measures are EBITDA, normalised EBITDA and statutory EBITDA. The disclosure of such non‐GAAP financial measures in the manner included in the presentation may not be permissible in a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act. These non‐GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Although APA Group believes these non‐GAAP financial measures provide useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and condition of its business, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non‐GAAP financial measures included in this presentation.

Goldfields Gas Pipeline Access Arrangement Review
- WA regulator issued a draft decision in December 2015. APA has responded and challenged the regulator’s position that would result in a significant reduction in the regulated tariff. Less than 25% of the Goldfields’ capacity is sold subject to the regulated tariff.
Amadeus Gas Pipeline Access Arrangement Review
- A response to the regulator’s draft decision was lodged on 6 January 2016. A final decision is expected in April 2016. Application lodged 15 August 2014. The final decision will have minimal impact on APA’s revenue as the vast majority of service is provided at rates determined under contract.

-
(RAB) Increased by capital added to the asset and reduced by regulatory depreciation costs Regulatory The larger distribution networks and some transmission pipelines are covered by economic regulation coverage Price regulated assets are those which the regulatory authorities have determined, among other things, demonstrate natural monopoly characteristics and a degree of market power
-
Coverage can be revoked “Light‐handed” regulation is effectively a negotiate/arbitrate regime, where tariffs are negotiated with users and are subject to determination by the regulator only where the customer initiates a dispute
