CAPITAL METRO BID COSTS

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) announced today that the ACTivate consortium had not been successful in its bid to build, operate and maintain Canberra’s new light rail system, known as the Capital Metro project.

Downer is a member of the ACTivate consortium and, in its full year results announcement on 6 August 2015, said its bid costs would be expensed in the event the consortium was not successful.

Downer’s share of pre-tax bid costs totalled $13 million, in line with the estimate provided at the time of its full year results of between $10 million and $15 million.

Downer announced at its 2015 full year results that it was targeting net profit after tax (NPAT) of around $190 million for the 2016 financial year.

As a consequence of expensing the bid costs relating to Capital Metro, the NPAT target for the 2016 financial year is now around $180 million.
