HY2025 HIGHLIGHTS – OPERATIONAL & STRATEGIC

This half, the Group has delivered exceptional results across the business, marking another record performance.

Multiple landmark Infrastructure projects awarded, consistent with our strategic goals – from TasNetworks to HCC REZ on the east-coast.

CommTel was a highly strategic acquisition for the Genus Services business; the turnaround continues, as we further strengthen our nbn and Telstra partnerships to meet the growing demand for communication infrastructure.

Welcoming Partum Engineering & Geographe Tree Services into the group during the Half – following the establishing of Genus Infrastructure VIC in FY24 – continues our journey as a well-diversified and truly national business; Vegetation Services now a key value-add.

Organic growth of our established business continues at pace - Genus will continue to move into new geographical locations and service offerings expanding our national footprint.

HumeLink East progressing well as we commenced on-site delivery for Transgrid alongside our JV partner Acciona in January 2025.

Melbourne Renewable Energy Hub (MREH JV with Samsung) progressing well. Project teams have completed the BESS installation.

Genus PFA undergoing rapid growth - achieved success on numerous service panels spanning multiple states and business units, bolstering the foundation of our business and increasing annual recurring revenue. We are committed to diversification across service/maintenance and large-scale project revenue.

FY2025 OUTLOOK

Strong momentum generated in FY2024, combined with a record orderbook of $1.5 billion (excluding recurring revenue) up from $0.5 billion at June 2024, provides a solid base to support earnings growth in FY2025, with Genus reiterating the forecast to deliver at least 20% growth in EBITDA* in FY2025.

Expected recurring revenue forecast at $276 million** for FY2025 up 23% on FY2024 actual results of $224 million.

A tendered pipeline of $2.2 billion, remains firm despite converting significant tenders to contract awards in HY25.

Budget pricing and opportunity leads (excluded from tender pipeline) have increased to more than $4 billion which

SUB-TRANSMISSION UPGRADES

HCC REZ is one of the first 5 renewable energy zones being developed by the New South Wales Government.

The project for Ausgrid involves upgrading the existing electricity network to allow new renewable generation to connect to the grid

It will mainly involve network upgrades which will minimize the impacts on surrounding communities and the environment, while delivering the capacity to transfer at least 1 GW of network transfer capacity.

$140 million Total Project Value

110km 132kV & 66kV dual/single-circuit

NWTD Stage 1

Genus has been appointed Head Contractor for TasNetworks’ once in a generation North West Transmission Developments (NWTD) project

We will be instrumental in designing and delivering Stage 1 of the development over a period of five years, with construction projected to begin in 2026, subject to conditions including a final investment decision, planning and environmental approvals, and the Australian Energy Regulator’s contingent project approval

The NWTD project will create many positive benefits and opportunities for Tasmanians, local communities and businesses of North West Tasmania. With established operations in Bridgewater and Spreyton, we are committed to employing Tasmanians and engaging the services of Tasmanian businesses throughout the delivery of the project.

$950 million Estimated Total Project Value

WESTERN POWER CLEAN ENERGY LINK NORTH

==> picture [385 x 338] intentionally omitted <==

PROPELLING WA TO BE A LEADER IN GREEN ENERGY

With wind and solar that are the envy of the world, WA and the Mid West region in particular, has the capacity to propel WA to become a national and international leader in green energy solutions

  • A critical first step in achieving this is strengthening the existing network to ensure it can connect and transport a greater supply of renewable energy to meet decarbonisation objectives. Modelling shows a 10 x increase in generation is needed.

The project will include new 330kV & 132kV terminal builds within the existing network footprint to significantly increase transmission capacity and enable new energy sources to come online, as well as existing line conversions and reinforcement work to significantly improve the flow of renewable energy to and from the area.

Encompasses design and construction of two new terminals at Regans Ford and Eneabba and an associated line, and augmentation of the existing 330kV Northern and Eneabba terminals. Peak manning resources are expected to be 140, to be sourced mostly from the Genus workforce.
