Chairman’s Remarks
[Opening]
Good morning everyone, and thank you once again for joining us today at our Annual General Meeting for 2025.
It’s a pleasure to be here with you today, reflecting on what has been a truly remarkable year for our company. I’d like to begin by acknowledging the dedication of our people, the trust of our shareholders, and the strength of our partnerships - all of which have been instrumental in driving our success.
[Strength & Resilience]
This year, Genus has demonstrated the power of a strong, diversified and resilient foundation that has been many years in the making. We’ve delivered record financial results, driven by increased activity across all segments of our business. Our Total Share Holder Return (TSR) over the 12 month reporting period was 101%, which is exceptional by any measure. Our cash position at year-end reached an unprecedented $161 million, up nearly 60% from last year - and our net cash rose to $113.5 million, a 47% increase. These aren’t just numbers - they represent the fruits of a lot of hard work by Dave Riches and his team and provide a further solid foundation from which we can continue to grow, invest, pay a dividend and have confidence in our long-term future.

ASX Release 20 November 2025 For immediate release to the market
[Momentum & Growth]
Our momentum created this year is real and measurable. Revenue climbed to $751 million, a 36% increase. Normalised EBITDA rose 49% to $67.4 million, and NPAT surged 84% to $35.4 million. These results reflect solid performances across all segments of our business and the successful delivery of landmark projects. Genus in conjunction with various Joint Venture partnerships, have been shortlisted for a number of significant Transmission infrastructure projects including Gippsland Offshore Wind Transmission Project, Western Renewables Link, New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) and Hunter Transmission Project totaling circa $10 billion.
Our East Coast operations now contribute 42% of group revenue - a testament to our strategic expansion in renewable infrastructure. With a robust pipeline of transmission and renewables projects, we’re well-positioned to continue this growth and expect our East Coast operations to be in excess of 50% of group revenue during the 2025/26 financial year.
[Strategy & Scale]
Our strategy remains clear: build a comprehensive, coast-to-coast service offering across Infrastructure, Energy & Engineering, and Services. We’ve proven that scale doesn’t have to compromise agility. Genus continues to deliver complex, multi-region infrastructure projects with speed, precision, and innovation.
Over the past year, we’ve made strategic acquisitions that enhance our end-to-end capabilities - from in-house engineering and communications to rail infrastructure and vegetation management. These moves strengthen our control over delivery and reinforce our mission to build a truly integrated, nationally-scaled business.
[Key Projects & Wins]
We’re proud to be involved in some of the major projects that are fundamental in achieving the “Re-wiring the Nation” renewable energy strategy.. This year, we secured major contracts including:
-
TasNetworks’ NWTD Stage 1 in Tasmania – a key part of the transformative Project Marinus.
-
A $270 million contract with Western Power for the Clean Energy Link North Project.
• A $140 million upgrade project with Ausgrid in NSW. 08 9390 6999 Level 1, 63-69 Abernethy Road, Belmont WA 6104 www.genus.com.au

ASX Release 20 November 2025 For immediate release to the market
- A $130 million contract with nbn® Australia for WA’s FTTN network upgrade.
After year-end, we were awarded additional work on the Clean Energy Link – North and Pilbara Decarbonisation Projects for Western Power and Fortescue, respectively. We also expanded our Battery Energy Storage System portfolio with projects at Merredin in WA for Atmos Renewables and Reeves Plains for Alinta Energy in South Australia, further supporting Australia’s energy transition.
[Shareholder Value & Safety]
We remain committed to delivering value to our shareholders. The Board has declared a fully franked final dividend of 3.6 cents per share, up from 2.5 cents last year, whilst still maintaining a strong balance sheet to support our continued growth strategy.
Safety of course continues to be a core focus. Our TRIFR stands at 3.1, reflecting ongoing improvements and a strong safety culture. With well over 1,600 employees, including 100 apprentices and graduates, we’re investing in the future of our workforce and fostering an inclusive, supportive environment.
[Looking Ahead]
FY2025 set a new benchmark for our Group, we have had a strong start to the financial year and are tracking towards the upper end of the forecast previously provided in the Financial Results Release for FY2025 of 20- 25% growth in EBITDA in FY2026.
[Closing]
I want to thank each and every member of the GenusPlus team for their hard work, commitment and dedication throughout the year. Additionally, to our shareholders - thank you for your continued support and belief in our vision.
With that, we will now move to the formal business items.

THE ENERGY TRANSITION IS GAINING MOMENTUM
The momentum of new energy projects connecting to the National Electricity Market (NEM) continues to build.
In the September 2025 Quarter 8 projects (1.8 GW) received application approval, 10 projects (2.2 GW) were registered, and 6 projects (1.6 GW) reached full output across the NEM.
The projected 10,000km of transmission projects by 2050 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.
