ASX Release 29 November 2024 For immediate release to the market
Chairman’s Remarks
A record-breaking year, as the energy transition accelerates
Genus produced an outstanding financial result this year, driven by increased activity across each of our operational segments. Our diversification and growth strategy remains firmly on track, and our record order book and tender pipeline provide an increasingly solid foundation for future organic growth.
Revenue for the year stood at a record $551 million while normalised EBITDA increased by 23.2% to $45.3 million. This result reflects solid performances across all our business segments and the progression of a number of landmark projects. Our East Coast footprint remains a cornerstone of Genus’ growth plans, with operations in the region now representing 35% of group revenue as renewable infrastructure development in these markets accelerates.
This expansion marks the achievement of a number of key strategic goals – and we expect to continue to generate strong growth through leveraging an unprecedented pipeline of renewables and transmission projects.
One key strategic pillar of our growth ambition is the subject of one of today’s Resolutions – to approve the acquisition of Partum Engineering, which will equip Genus with a true in-house engineering & design capability set.
Partum represents a unique value proposition in that it is a construction-led design house, in contrast to the
Engineering/EPCM focus of its peers.
This gives Partum – and by extension Genus – an important edge. Partum’s 120+ employees fundamentally understand how distribution & transmission lines and substations are built; and this means they can ensure that the scheduling of design deliverables (and the overall design itself) is all driven toward optimising construction and productivity, giving us - as the EPC contractor - a strong competitive advantage.
Given the sheer number of new transmission systems being developed or proposed over the next 10-20 years - and our clients’ preferred contracting model being EPC – the Genus board believe it is a strategic advantage for us to have full control of the engineering & design capability. Equally, we believe that not having control of this key area of EPC delivery would present a major risk to our core business.
Strength through organic and acquisitional growth.
The Partum acquisition is line with our target of building a comprehensive service offering across our three segments – from coast to coast – which is based on our clear foundational principle of pursuing organic growth whilst also identifying and then integrating strategic acquisitions.
Each of these opportunities are carefully considered to ensure they strengthen our geographical spread and take advantage of the significant infrastructure investment in new & existing markets. This year we have demonstrated our ability to maximise the capabilities of previously stand-alone operations in target markets which represented value and scalability.
The Genus-PFA business alone – delivering innovative pole maintenance & reinforcement solutions through our acquisition of Pole Foundations Australia - has been awarded a number of major asset upgrade contracts; which in turn help to maintain strong relationships with our growing Utilities client base.
As noted last year, the restructuring of our Industrial Services business in FY2022 was a key strategic initiative to drive improved results in this segment. With FY24 Revenue up 94% on the previous corresponding period, Industrial Services is ideally placed to capitalise on future opportunities, particularly in the renewable energy sector.

ASX Release 29 November 2024 For immediate release to the market
The foundations of our Communications business remain firmly in place to enable Genus to take advantage of the large ongoing spend in this segment. Having turned this business from loss making to trading profitably by the end of FY24, we intend to grow both Revenue & EBIT in 2024/25 and beyond through a combination of organic and strategic acquisitions.
One tangible outcome of this strategy was announced after year end, with the acquisition of CommTel Network Solutions through a Deed of Company Arrangement which reached completion last month.
Established in 1998, CommTel specialises in providing mission and business critical network solutions to the mining, oil and gas, transport, power utilities, carriers, and public safety sectors. These critical solutions and infrastructure provide the reliable low latency communication systems that manage and monitor critical services such as electricity grids, train and rail transport, air traffic control, telecommunication services, mining automation, and emergency services.
Welcoming CommTel into the Group significantly expands the capability and customer base of our Communications division. CommTel has numerous multi-year contracts with Tier 1 customers through Master Supply Agreements, Technical Support Agreements or Operational Services Agreements, which will provide us with recurring revenue.
This focus on strategic expansion - when combined with cementing our existing relationships with key clients - has elevated Genus’ capacity to deliver while allowing us to tender for contracts which represent a step-change in market perception.
Connecting the Future. Together.
We have continued to secure key contract wins in line with our strategy across our three segments of Infrastructure, Industrial Services and Communications. Our Joint Venture partnership with Acciona to deliver the HumeLink East transmission project is progressing to plan.
This is a new 500kV transmission line in Southern NSW will connect Snowy Hydro's 2.0 expansion to the network; as part of a $10 billion transmission upgrade helping to drive the National Energy Market’s renewables transition.
This is a clear demonstration that the market recognises Genus’ ability to consistently provide the skills and expertise required to complete complex energy projects as an increasing number are being presented the market
Other key contract wins through the year include a five-year agreement with Western Power to deliver a major program of maintenance & network upgrade works which is expected to generate revenue of circa $50 million in its first year being FY2025; a contract to develop transmission infrastructure supporting Fortescue’s decarbonisation plan; and a $50 million contract with ACCIONA Energia for the Aldoga 275kV Solar Farm substation design & construction works in Queensland.
This flagship solar development will contribute significantly to the Queensland Government’s target of achieving 50 per cent renewable energy by 2030. Having completed Stage 1 of the Kwinana Battery Energy Storage System (KBESS1) for Synergy last year, we continue to make good progress toward completion of Stage 2 - which positions us well for more utility-scale battery opportunities across the nation.
Delivering for Shareholders.
The Board has declared a fully franked final dividend of 2.5 cents per share (cps), up from 2.0 cps last year. As was the case in the previous financial year, we remain focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet to support growth both organically and by strategic acquisition where we see good value.

ASX Release 29 November 2024 For immediate release to the market
An industry-leading safety culture.
Our focus on safety and the conduct of safety-awareness initiatives throughout the year have continued to strengthen our safety culture and deliver improvements in our performance. This is demonstrated by our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) per million man hours worked, of 2.7 at 30 June 2024 – improving on our internal target of 2.8.
The Group’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”) was again zero, which is a direct result of the dedication and expertise of our teams in the field. Our expanding workforce continues to be built on experienced professional staff, highly skilled trades people, a network of trades-based workshops and specialised subcontractors.
Today the Group directly employs over 1,000 people including 96 apprentices/ trainees and graduates. We will always prioritise direct employment of our people – it not only helps us control risk, but also plays a significant role in protecting and growing our proactive culture; which is one of our key strategic pillars.
A strong growth platform.
Our record performance in FY2024 puts the company in an exceptional financial position, with a cash balance of $101 million (up 116%) and net cash of $77.3 million; with the Group’s cash position increasing 244% compared to the previous year. This continues to position us for organic and strategic acquisition opportunities focused on increasing our existing scale and geographic reach.
Powering Australia’s Sustainable Future.
With an extremely strong tender pipeline of approximately $2 billion; recurring revenue at $251 million per annum; plus an order book standing at $519 million; budget and opportunity leads in excess of $3 billion; and a workforce exceeding 1,000, our growing and diversified company is well placed to reach new heights in the years to come.
Australia’s energy transition is accelerating – the milestone projects we’ve secured during the year, along with our healthy tender pipeline are a clear demonstration that our growth strategy positions us well to play an active and major role in this expanding pipeline of infrastructure opportunities across Australia
The extraordinary commitment and dedication of our people drives our teams to go above and beyond, finding creative solutions to every challenge. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our employees for their continued hard work and dedication during the year in achieving such a commendable outcome.
Finally, but certainly not least, I would like to thank you, our shareholders, for continuing to be an integral part of our growth ambitions - and I trust you will continue to share in our future success.
With that, we will now move to the formal business items.

MARKET
Australia is undergoing a renewables step-change
-
The National Electricity Market’s (NEM’s) transition to higher renewables continues to occur at pace. Actual installed renewable capacity is tracking above the fastest Step Change scenario originally envisioned in the 2020 Integrated System Plan (ISP)*.
-
The ISP requires building close to 10,000 km of new transmission lines and upgrades to existing networks by 2050 to connect new generation across the power system.
-
These transmission projects are projected to reduce costs for consumers by delivering benefits that would recoup their $16 billion investment costs, save consumers a further $18.5 billion in avoided costs, and deliver emissions reductions valued at $3.3 billion.

Infrastructure
Connecting the Future
-
AEMO’s Integrated System Plan underlines the scale of infrastructure in the next two decades to replace and cope with a huge increase in demand
-
AEMO’s step change scenario requires around 5,000 km of new transmission lines to be built over the next decade – and half of this is already under construction. The total requirement for step change out to 2050 is ~ 10,000 km.
-
The 2024 ISP includes the fast-tracking of seven transmission projects that are now deemed “actionable”; and are critical components for the national transition.
-
The Western Australia South West Interconnected System Demand Assessment’s 'Future Ready' scenario shows peak demand would almost triple by 2042, requiring an additional 4,000km of transmission capacity.
