Infratil Guidance
==> picture [239 x 473] intentionally omitted <==
-
Infratil’s FY2022 Proportionate EBITDAF guidance range from continuing operations of $505-$550 million remains unchanged
-
This assumes a full-year contribution from Trustpower’s retail business, a 10-month contribution from Pacific Radiology and no contribution from Tilt Renewables
-
Guidance is based on Infratil management’s current expectations and assumptions about the trading performance, is subject to risks and uncertainties, and dependent on prevailing market conditions continuing throughout the outlook period
-
There are a number of operational impacts at CDC Data Centres, Qscan Group, RetireAustralia and Wellington Airport as a result of the current covid situation in Australia. The implications in New Zealand are still emerging and being assessed
-
These are not currently forecast to materially impact FY2022 guidance but will continue to be evaluated
