HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights

Operational

  • A strong half year, as Genus continues to expand geographically and across all operational sectors – as we increasingly demonstrate our capacity to deliver complex, flagship projects across Australia which will be critical in realising the nation’s energy transition ambitions.

  • Genus continues to see strong growth in the Battery Energy Storage market, with major projects in this space underway and more in the pipeline as part of our group strategy.

  • Awarded a contract in JV with ACCIONA to deliver part of Transgrid’s $3.3 billion HumeLink 500kV Transmission Project in NSW, and continuing to deliver infrastructure works with existing clients including FMG and Rio Tinto. The award of HumeLink marks a step-change for Genus - and it is testament to the decades of hard-won progress that we now participate in projects of this magnitude.

  • Growth in East Coast revenue as a percentage of total revenue is expected to continue, having grown from 34% in FY2023 to 35% in HY2024.

Strategic

  • Significant investment has been put into growing the east coast presence of Genus to be positioned for the substantial investment required to the power network over the next 10-20 years. HumeLink is a high-profile example of this strategy’s success.

  • As with HumeLink, Genus will focus on taking a disciplined and conservative approach to contract terms for larger scale and major projects.

  • Genus’ East Coast footprint continues to gather pace with a new Victoria-based Infrastructure team - we welcome the Prasinus Energy Team to the wider Genus Family.

  • Milestone award of the globally significant Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (in JV with Samsung C&T Australia) firmly establishes Genus in the Battery Energy Storage space; on the back of winning the Kwinana Battery Stage 2 Project in WA.

  • Genus Communications’ 3-year Master Module Agreement with nbn enables Genus to take advantage of the large ongoing spend in the communications industry. Our N2P Project and broader communications teams continue to perform well across the country.

  • The Group is focused on replicating its Western Australian business model into the larger east coast market which is dependent on the Group’s ability to continue to grow the new operations or execute and integrate further strategic bolt-on acquisitions. Growth in our QLD, NSW, TAS & VIC operations across all sectors is proof-positive.

  • Ongoing focus on continuing to develop relationships with mining companies and utilities to provide opportunities for renewable energy adoption across Australia, augmenting our strong WA Pipeline.

Part 2 Outlook & Growth Strategy

MARKET DRIVERS

Key Market Drivers*: Australia is accelerating toward net-zero

  • With coal expected to retire faster than previously announced, the NEM is forecast to need a seven-fold increase in large-scale wind and solar generation by 2050.

  • It also 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.

  • The lowest-cost pathway for secure and reliable electricity is from renewable energy, connected by transmission, supported by batteries and pumped hydro, and backed up by flexible gas-powered generation.

==> picture [241 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

Connecting the Future – Infrastructure

  • The Federal Government $20 billion Rewiring the Nation Plan is designed to ensure the transmission infrastructure is funded and delivered.

  • Replacement dispatchable capacity of 47 GW from battery and hydro storage is required to firm renewable energy sources as coal-fired generation is phased out by 2050. The system currently has 23 GW of coalfired generation capacity.

  • Queensland’s SuperGrid Infrastructure Blueprint represents around $62 billion of industry wide capital investment in the energy system. This investment is over a timeframe of around 15 years involving both Government and the private sector.

  • 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.

  • Transmission & Distribution form part of our service offering and will continue to be a major contributor to the coming decades of growth. Genus is well-positioned to deliver.

  • Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH) A Globally Significant BESS Project

  • Awarded three contracts for engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning for the Balance of Plant scope and BESS installation for this 600MW/1,600MWh battery energy storage project , alongside our JV partner Samsung C&T Australia.

  • MREH is a globally significant energy storage precinct located 25km northwest of Melbourne’s

  • commercial business district.

  • This is a major milestone in the State Electricity Commission (SEC's) plans to deliver renewable, affordable and reliable energy for all Victorians.

==> picture [241 x 65] intentionally omitted <==

Strategy Update – Industrial Services Utility BESS Projects

  • With the Genus’ completion of Synergy’s Kwinana BESS 1 project and stage 2

  • now well underway – in addition to Victoria’s MREH BESS - Genus has a platform to build a significant pipeline of EPC opportunities greater than 100MW.

  • The growth that Genus is seeing in BESS opportunities aligns with Australia’s current target to reduce its domestic emissions by 43 percent on 2005 levels by 2030.

  • IRENA’s 1.5°C Scenario sees a need for battery storage to offer significant flexibility to the power system, reaching almost 360 GW by 2030, and 4,100 GW by 2050. Beyond the power sector, battery storage will play a critical role in decarbonisation.

EBIT-A and NPAT-A are adjusted for Amortisation expense relating to Acquisition of Intangible assets.

HY2023 tax expense adjustment: In 2020 and 2021 the carrying tax base for PPE has been increased to include the value of the chattel mortgages not previously included, increasing the DTA and in turn reducing income tax expense. In the absence of this rectification relating to prior years, the effective tax rate for the half year ended 31 December 2022, would have been 28%.
