Genesis Energy today released its half year results for the six months ended 31 December 2016 after a period

dominated by wet and warm conditions.


In the first half of financial year 2017, Genesis Energy delivered EBITDAF of $155.7 million in line with guidance

given in November. However it was down 11% on the same period last year, predominately due to the flow

through of low oil prices on wholesale revenues. Despite this, underlying operations were stable, supported by

lower costs, increased retail margins and growth in LPG customers. One-off restructuring costs in the first half

have reset the business for a more customer-centric future.


Net profit after tax was up 4.2% on the prior comparable period as a result of changes in fair value instruments;

free cash flow was consistent with a lower EBITDAF and net debt was down 2% on the same period last year.


Genesis Energy Chairman Dame Jenny Shipley said the Board, having taken into account the current trading

environment, have struck the interim dividend of 8.2 cents per share, the same level as the prior comparable

period. The dividend will be paid on 13 April 2017, with a record date of 30 March 2017.


“The Company’s transformation continues to accelerate and the business performed well against a backdrop of

unfavourable market conditions, which have been well-signaled to the market,” Dame Jenny said.


Chief Executive Marc England and his Executive team held an Investor Day in November to reset the vision and

strategy for the business, focusing on ‘Optimising’ the business to improve short term returns, “Innovating’ for

medium term growth and ‘Investing’ for long term value creation.


Marc said progress had been made against all three strategic themes with “greater efficiency in the generation

business having already led to lower operating costs; new innovations, such as bulk LPG delivery systems, were

being rolled out to customers and a decision to invest further into Kupe to enable longer term value creation

had been actioned.”


Higher margins in both mass market and time-of-use markets offset a decline in electricity sales due to warmer

weather and reduced retail consumption. LPG sales increased 22% as Genesis Energy continues to accelerate

its growth in this market which is supported by its integrated fuel position from the Kupe field through to

customers’ homes and businesses.



1

Earnings before net finance expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation, impairment, fair value changes and other gains

and losses

2

Free Cash Flow is EBITDAF, less finance expense; taxes paid and stay in business capital expenditure.

3

Stay in business capital expenditure is the capital expenditure required to maintain ongoing asset management and life-cycle

maintenance of the Company’s asset portfolio.


The wholesale market result included significant cost savings across generation to partially offset adverse market

conditions from suppressed spot electricity prices, combined with lower oil and methanol prices. Kupe increased

production by 11% on the prior year but was impacted by ongoing oil price impacts.


Building an innovation pipeline


With traditional energy retail markets in New Zealand dominated by price led competition, Genesis Energy is

activating its strategy to compete through product innovation in energy management services across four

product categories – Electricity, Piped Gas, Bottled Gas and Distributed Energy. As part of this effort, today

Genesis Energy is announcing a collaboration with customers and other industry partners to design game-

changing digital tools that re-imagine how they use energy.


In the first phase of a planned three-year program, ‘The Local Energy Project’ will make use of Genesis Energy’s

own digital lab that, through scaled agile methodologies, is accelerating the development of new products that

will improve customers’ engagement and experience with energy. The Lab is creating new energy monitoring

tools, integrated new technologies such as solar and batteries, home heating and hot water.


“By working and learning with our customers, we are ensuring the innovation around new energy technologies

is relevant to consumers and puts them in control of what they spend their money on,” Marc said.


Full Year Guidance


EBITDAF guidance for the full year ended 30 June 2017 has been updated to a range of $320 million and $330

million including the part year contribution of the additional 15% interest in Kupe.

Kupe Performance Summary

•Gas production up on prior year despite unplanned

12 day outage in HY17

•EBITDAF continues to be impacted by external

factors:

−HY17 oil sales hedged at an average of US$57/bblled to

$8m decline relative to HY16 where oil prices were

hedged at an average US$86/bbl

−LPG production down due to plant corrosion issues which

were resolved in late 2016

Change well underway

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Genesis Energy is fast changing itself to develop and deliver new data-driven

technologies that will improve the energy experience for our customers and

ultimately deliver results for our shareholders.

8.2 c

86.6%

While our transformation continues to

gain pace, the Company’s underlying

business of producing and selling

electricity, natural gas and bottled gas

performed well against a backdrop of

unfavourable market conditions, which

have been well signalled to the market.

New Zealand’s high reliance on renewable

electricity generation is both a plus and

a minus for a diverse company such

as Genesis Energy. While the wet and

warm conditions in the first six months

of the financial year resulted in increased

renewable generation and reduced coal

consumption at Huntly Power Station,

this also correlated to suppressed

wholesale electricity prices.

The weather impacted our Customer

business too, with the warmest year

on record resulting in a 4.5 per cent

reduction in demand from our residential

customers. However, to a large extent,

the reduced sales volume was offset

by a change in some retail prices and

internal cost-saving initiatives.

Our third major source of revenue

– the Kupe Oil and Gas field – was

also impacted by low oil prices and a

longer-than-expected production plant

maintenance outage that resulted in a

17.0 per cent drop in oil and gas earnings.

Overall, earnings (EBITDAF)

1

remain

in line with November guidance and

the Board and I are pleased to declare,

despite the market pressures and

consistent with the prior period,

a dividend of 8.2 cents per share.

INTERIM REPORT

Re-imagining energy

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REVIEW

In 2016, we reset the Company’s vision to be ‘Re-imagining Energy to be

customers’ first choice for energy management’. This vision was expressed in

three Strategic Themes: Optimise, Innovate and Invest.

After six months, I am pleased to report

that we are making good progress against

these themes as we drive change and

cement a customer-centric mind-set

throughout the business.

Specifically, we have completed a number

of Optimise projects in the half year that

are leading to greater efficiencies and

short-term revenue improvements. The

cost to acquire new customers is in decline

and our employee costs have reduced

by 6.0 per cent. Our customer-facing

employees, through the implementation

of new digital tools, are also now able to

see more information. This allows them

to deliver a more effective and efficient

customer service, enabling meaningful

and targeted communications to our

customers. These efficiency gains are a

win, both for our customers and investors,

as it contributes to greater returns and

lower prices.

Under our Invest strategy, we identified

and acted quickly to acquire a greater

stake in the Kupe Oil and Gas field

from New Zealand Oil and Gas.

By increasing our share of the Kupe Oil

and Gas field to 46 per cent we will be

able to create greater value and flexibility

to our fuel book and create further value

from production through to both

our thermal generation and retail

businesses. The acquisition was funded

by existing debt facilities and was

effective on 1 January 2017.

Understanding information flows

as well as energy flows is key to true

energy management and enhancing

our customers’ energy experience. In

late January 2017, I announced our

intention to create The Local Energy

Project as part of our Innovation strategy.

This project aims to understand how

our customers interact with new digital

services by working with them to find

where the commercial value is before

we roll out new services nationally.

During the half year, we also adopted

an innovative approach to bottled LPG.

Currently we sell most of our Kupe-

sourced wholesale LPG to other gas

retailers but see a big opportunity to

grow our retail LPG customer base

by targeting commercial bulk LPG

customers and residential 45kg bottled

gas customers. Our sales proposition is

underpinned by data and technology-

driven innovation, not discounting, and

we are starting to see positive growth.

While external market factors,

which are outside of our control,

create challenges for our trading

teams, the rest of the business is

moving forward positively. We are

deliberately challenging and disrupting the

way we have done business historically.

We are mobilising innovation through

new digital technologies and data-driven

decision-making to deliver success.

In late November 2016, the Executive

Team committed to growing

Genesis Energy to be a $400m or

more EBITDAF company by 2021.

With thoughtful insight, acute focus

and action we are well on our way to

achieving this goal.

Business

Highlights

at a Glance

4.

LPG – bobtail tanker

Genesis Energy is targeting rapid

growth in the bottled and commercial

LPG markets. LPG sales volumes in

the half year were up 25 per cent

compared to HY2016.

The Company has invested in a

‘bobtail’ LPG tanker to service mainly

agribusiness customers. We are also

developing a service based on automated

reordering of 45kg bottled gas.

1.

Kupe share increase

During the period, Genesis Energy

agreed to acquire all of New Zealand

Oil & Gas’ 15 per cent share of the Kupe

Joint Venture for $168m.

The increase in ownership gave the

company access to approximately

160,000 extra barrels of oil and 13,000

additional tonnes of LPG per annum.

Genesis Energy already purchases 100

per cent of the natural gas from Kupe.

NEW INITIATIVES UNDERWAY

5.

Schoolgen data visualisation

Having reached almost 100 solar

schools, the Schoolgen programme

has achieved scale to enable new

data-driven resources for all school

students, teachers and customers

thinking about solar generation.

During the half year, a software

engineer intern created a new

solar data dashboard for a revised

Schoolgen website, which will be

relaunched in FY2017.

6.

Internships from TupuToa

At the end of 2016, five university

students from the TupuToa programme

began 12-week assignments at our

Greenlane office. TupuToa focuses

on identifying, developing and

supporting high-potential Māori

and Pasifika graduates to transition

to corporate careers.

The interns at Greenlane are working

across the organisation and have been

linked with mentors to support them

throughout their time with the Company.

2.

Contact centre

New call centre and customer

management systems were introduced to

support our service and reduce handling

times. Self-service transactions were up

by 47 per cent over a 12-month period.

Energy Online customers were up

six per cent over 12 months. Energy

Online went fully digital by making bill

payments by post a thing of the past.

Energy Online reached the 1,000

customers mark for bottled gas.

3.

Renewable generation up

Flexible generation provides resilience

against adverse market conditions.

Coal burn was down 92 per cent in the

half year as wet and windy conditions

favoured renewable generation, which

was up 12.5 per cent.

Total generation output was down eight

per cent. A more efficient maintenance

programme and reduced staff costs

during the half year resulted in cost

savings of $5m.

Retail adapts Agile

We’re using Agile methods to drive ideas

and deliver faster on customer needs.

Agile is iterative and incremental.

It breaks down development work into

short and fast blocks called sprints.

The major advantage of Agile is the ability

to move at speed while adapting to

market changes and customer feedback.

We have introduced Agile across our

product development and marketing teams.

The Local Energy Project

Genesis Energy is developing

New Zealand’s first real-world R&D

community in South Wairarapa.

This collaborative project will test,

design and develop game-changing

digital tools that customers will use to

re-imagine how they use energy. By

working and learning with our customers,

we are ensuring the innovation around

new energy technologies is relevant to

consumers and puts them in control.

Lightning Lab Electric

Genesis Energy has a plan to become

New Zealanders’ first choice for energy

management. As part of delivering on

our vision, we’re supporting Lightning Lab

Electric’s Innovation Challenge and

Accelerator programme. A joint

venture with CreativeHQ and Callaghan

Innovation, Lightning Lab Electric is

New Zealand’s first-ever open call for

innovation within the electricity sector.

1. General information

Genesis Energy Limited (the ‘Parent’) is a

company registered under the Companies

Act 1993. The Parent is majority owned by

Her Majesty the Queen in Right of New

Zealand (the ‘Crown’) and is listed on the

NZSX, NZDX and ASX. The Parent, as a

mixed ownership model company, is bound

by the requirements of the Public Finance

Act 1989. The liabilities of the Parent are not

guaranteed in any way by the Crown. The

Parent is an FMC Reporting Entity under

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

The condensed consolidated interim

financial statements comprise the Parent,

its subsidiaries and the Group’s interests in

joint operations (together, the ‘Group’). The

condensed consolidated interim financial

statements cover the six-month period

ended 31 December 2016.

These interim financial statements have not

been audited.

The Group is designated as a profit-oriented

entity for financial reporting purposes.

The Group’s core business is located in

New Zealand and involves the generation

of electricity, retailing and trading of energy,

and the development and procurement of

fuel sources. To support these functions,

the Group’s scope of business includes

retailing and trading of related

complementary products designed to

support its key energy business.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim

financial statements have been prepared

in accordance with and comply with

New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial

Reporting (‘NZ IAS 34’). In complying with

NZ IAS 34, these statements comply with

International Accounting Standard 34

Interim Financial Reporting.

The condensed consolidated interim financial

statements do not include all the information

and disclosures required in the annual financial

statements. Consequently these condensed

consolidated interim financial statements

should be read in conjunction with the annual

financial statements and related notes

included in Genesis Energy’s Annual Report

for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The condensed consolidated interim

financial statements are presented in

New Zealand dollars rounded to the nearest

one hundred thousand.

Application of new and revised accounting

standards, interpretations and amendments

There have been no new or revised

accounting standards, interpretations and

amendments effective during the period

which have a material impact on the Group’s

accounting policies or disclosures.

There have been no significant changes

in accounting policies or methods of

computation since 30 June 2016. The

accounting policies set out in Genesis

Energy’s Annual Report for the year

ended 30 June 2016 have been applied

consistently to all periods presented in these

condensed consolidated interim financial

statements.

Critical accounting estimates

and judgements

The preparation of the Group’s condensed

consolidated interim financial statements

requires management to make estimates

and assumptions that affect the application

of policies and the reported amounts of

assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.

The estimates and underlying assumptions

are based on historical experience and

various other factors that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances. Actual

results may differ from these estimates.

Significant areas of estimation and

judgement in these condensed consolidated

interim financial statements are the same as

those disclosed in Genesis Energy’s annual

financial statements included in Genesis

Energy’s Annual Report for the year ended

30 June 2016.

Seasonality of operations

Fluctuations in seasonal weather patterns

can have a significant impact on supply and

demand and therefore the generation of

electricity, which in turn can have a positive

or negative impact on the reported result.

Fair value interest rate risk adjustment on borrowings – gain (loss)

19.8 (6.2)

1.9 (21.0)

The change in the fair value of derivatives for the current period mainly relates to the movement in the fair value of Cross-Currency Interest

Rate Swaps (‘CCIRS’) ($18.4 million loss). The movement in the fair value of the CCIRS relates to movements in interest and foreign

exchange rates between 30 June 2016 and the reporting date. The movement in the fair value of the CCIRS was offset by the change in the

fair value interest rate risk adjustment on the United States Private Placement (‘USPP’) ($19.3 million gain). The net impact on net profit of

the CCIRS and USPP was $0.9 million gain.

The change in the fair value of derivatives for the previous period mainly relates to the movement in the fair value of electricity swaps and

options ($19.9 million loss) offset by the movement in the fair value of CCIRS ($6.1 million gain). The movement in the fair value of the

electricity swaps and options primarily reflects movements in the electricity price path between either the date the contract was entered into, if

its a new contract in the period, or since the previous reporting date. The movement in the CCIRS relates to movements in interest and foreign

exchange rates between 30 June 2015 and 31 December 2015. The movement in the fair value of the CCIRS was offset by the change in

the fair value interest rate risk adjustment on the USPP ($6.5 million loss). The net impact on net profit of the CCIRS and USPP for the six

months ended 31 December 2015 was a $0.4 million loss.

During the 2017 financial year, the Group reviewed the method used to deplete oil and gas-producing assets (excluding major inspection

costs). Based on the results of the review, the Group amended the method used to deplete the cost of producing wells to better reflect the

way in which the asset is being used. The reserves estimate used to calculate depletion expense was also revised to align with those used by the

Joint Venture Operator as the Joint Venture Operator’s reserve estimate was unavailable at the time the 30 June 2016 result was compiled.

The change in method and reserves estimate was applied prospectively from 1 July 2016, which resulted in a $0.4 million increase in depletion

expense for the period.

8. Material related party transactions

The majority shareholder of the Parent is the Crown. The Parent and Group transact with Crown-controlled and related entities independently

and on an arm’s-length basis for emission activities comprising emission unit purchases and sales, royalties, scientific consultancy services,

electricity transmission, postal services and energy-related products (including electricity derivatives). All transactions with Crown-controlled

and related entities are based on commercial terms and conditions, and relevant market drivers.

The Group has two significant transactions with Meridian Energy, a Crown-controlled entity, being: a 150MW contract to provide dry-year

cover for four years from 1 January 2015, with a further four-year extension from 1 January 2019 and a 50MW contract to supply electricity to

the Huntly node from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018.

There were no other individually significant transactions with Crown-controlled and related entities during the period (31 December 2015: nil).

Other transactions with Crown-controlled and related entities which are collectively but not individually significant relate to the sale of

electricity derivatives (31 December 2015: purchase of coal, sale of gas and electricity derivatives). Approximately 79 per cent of the value of

electricity derivative assets and approximately 61 per cent of the value of electricity derivative liabilities held by the Group at the reporting date

were held with Crown-controlled and related entities (31 December 2015: 89 per cent and 62 per cent, respectively). The contracts expire

at various times; the latest expiry date is December 2025. No gas sales were made to Crown-controlled and related entities under gas sales

agreements (31 December 2015: 11 per cent).

For a list and description of transactions with related parties, refer to Genesis Energy’s annual financial statements included in Genesis Energy’s

Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

term notes and pre-funding for the acquisition of the NZOG subsidiaries ($168.0 million) ahead of the settlement which occurred after the

reporting date. Refer to note 14 for further information.

As at 31 December 2016 the Group had drawn down $310.0 million (30 June 2016: $50.0 million) from the revolving credit facility and had

available undrawn funding of $190.0 million (30 June 2016: $450.0 million).

11. Fair value

Fair value hierarchy

The Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised into one of three levels. The levels are outlined in Genesis Energy’s annual

financial statements included in Genesis Energy’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016.

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the date of the event or change in

circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels one, two and three during the period (31 December 2015: nil).

Valuation processes of the Group

The process used to value level three generation assets and derivatives has been disclosed in Genesis Energy’s annual financial statements

included in Genesis Energy’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016. The process used as at 31 December 2016 is consistent with

that used at 30 June 2016.

Valuation method of the Group

The valuation method used to value level three generation assets and derivatives has been disclosed in Genesis Energy’s annual financial statements

included in Genesis Energy’s Annual report for the year ended 30 June 2016. The valuation method used as at 31 December 2016 is consistent with

that used 30 June 2016.

Valuation of electricity swaps and options

The valuation of electricity swaps and options in level three is based on a discounted cash flow model over the life of the agreement. The key assumptions in

the model are: the callable volumes, strike price and option fees outlined in the agreement, the forecast internally generated electricity price path, ‘day one’

gains and losses, emission credits and the discount rate. The options are deemed to be called when the internally generated price path is higher than the strike

prices after taking into account obligations relating to the specific terms of each contract. No calling is required for the swaps and there are no option fees.

GENESIS ENERGY INTERIM REPORT
22

11. Fair value (continued)

The key unobservable inputs, range of assumptions and third-party inputs combine to determine the wholesale electricity price path.

The wholesale electricity price paths used to value level three electricity swaps and options range from $64 per MWh to $113 per MWh over

the period from January 2017 to 31 December 2025 (30 June 2016: $65 per MWh to $109 per MWh over the period from 1 July 2016 to

31 December 2025).

The discount rate used in the model ranged from 2.2 per cent to 5.8 per cent (30 June 2016: 1.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent) and the emission

credit price used ranged between $20.00 and $25.00 (30 June 2016: $18.00 and $25.00).

If the price path increased by 10 per cent while holding the discount rate constant, this would result in the carrying value of the electricity

derivatives decreasing to $24.3 million liability (30 June 2016: $50.7 million liability). If the price path decreased by 10 per cent while holding

the discount rate constant, the carrying value would increase to $16.6 million asset (30 June 2016: $12.7 million asset).

The change in fair value of financial instruments disclosed above includes an unrealised gain of $1.8 million (30 June 2016: $18.1 million loss) on

level three derivatives held at the end of the reporting period.

Deferred ‘day one’ gains (losses)

There is a presumption that when derivative contracts are entered into on an arm’s-length basis, and no payment is received or paid on day one,

the fair value at inception would be nil. The contract price of non-exchange traded electricity derivative contracts are agreed on a bilateral basis,

the pricing for which may differ from the prevailing derived market price for a variety of reasons. In these circumstances, an adjustment is made

to bring the initial fair value of the contract to zero at inception. The adjustment is called a ‘day one’ gain (loss) and is deferred and amortised,

based on expected call volumes over the term of the contract. The ‘day one’ adjustment below is included in the level three electricity swaps

and options held at the reporting date.

The following table details the movements and amounts of deferred ‘day one’ gains (losses) included in the fair value of electricity swaps and

options held at the reporting date:

11. Fair value (continued)

Valuation of wholesale term notes

The valuation of wholesale term notes is based on estimated discounted cash flow analyses using applicable market yield curves adjusted for the

Group’s credit rating. Market yield curves at the reporting date used in the valuation ranged from 2.9 per cent to 4.8 per cent (30 June 2016:

3.0 per cent to 3.9 per cent).

Valuation of USPP

The valuation of USPP is based on estimated discounted cash flow analyses using applicable United States market yield curves adjusted for the Group’s

credit rating. The credit-adjusted market yield at the reporting date used in the valuation was 3.3 per cent (30 June 2016: 2.5 per cent).

13. Contingent assets and liabilities

At 31 December 2016 the Group had contingent assets and liabilities in respect of:

Land claims, lawsuits and other claims

The Parent acquired interests in land and leases from Electricity Corporation of New Zealand Limited (‘ECNZ’) on 1 April 1999. These interests

in land and leases may be subject to claims to the Waitangi Tribunal and may be resumed by the Crown. The Parent would expect to negotiate

with the new Māori owners for occupancy and usage rights of any sites resumed by the Crown. Certain claims have been brought to or are

pending against the Parent, ECNZ and the Crown under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975. Some of these claims may affect land and leases

purchased by the Parent or its subsidiaries from ECNZ. In the event that land is resumed by the Crown, the resumption would be affected by

the Crown under the Public Works Act 1981 and compensation would be payable to the Parent.

The Board of Directors cannot reasonably estimate the adverse effect (if any) on the Parent if any of the foregoing claims are ultimately resolved

against it, or any contingent or currently unknown costs or liabilities crystallise. There can be no assurances that these claims will not have a

material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition or results of operations (30 June 2016: no reasonable estimate).

There are no other known material contingent assets or liabilities (30 June 2016: nil).

14. Events occurring after balance date

Subsequent to balance date, the following events occurred:

– The Parent declared an interim dividend of $82.0 million (8.2 cents per share);

– A subsidiary of the Group (Genesis Power Investments Limited) acquired 100 per cent of the shares of three subsidiaries from NZOG that in

combination hold a 15 per cent stake in the Kupe Joint Venture and 100 per cent of a subsidiary that has rights to royalty payments associated

with the Kupe field. The acquisition increased the Group’s holdings in the Kupe Joint Venture from 31 per cent to 46 per cent, effective from

1 January 2017. The subsidiaries acquired have not been consolidated into the Group at 31 December 2016 as control of the entities did not

pass until 1 January 2017.

Kupe Royalties LimitedRoyalty holding company1 January 2017

The entities were acquired as a result of the Group’s strategy to create value by linking upstream fuel supply with electricity generation and

consumer energy needs. The purchase price of $168.0 million was paid in cash to a Trust account on 29 December 2016. This has been treated

as cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2016 given the sale was not effective until 1 January 2017.

Significant assets and liabilities acquired from the purchase were an increased share of Kupe oil and gas assets and associated rehabilitation

provision, intangible assets associated with contractual arrangements, deferred tax and goodwill. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired

has yet to be finalised and as a result this information has not been disclosed. Any goodwill on acquisition can only be determined once the fair

value of assets and liabilities acquired have been finalised; as a result the information in relation to goodwill has not been disclosed. Further details

on the acquisition will be disclosed in the Annual Report.

Acquisition-related costs amounting to $0.8 million have been expensed as incurred in profit or loss within ‘other operating expenses’.

There have been no other significant events subsequent to balance date.

GENESIS ENERGY INTERIM REPORT

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘the financial statements’) of Genesis Energy Limited (‘the

Company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) which comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as at 31 December 2016, and the

consolidated interim comprehensive income statement, consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim

cash flow statement for the six months ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information on pages 9 to 23.

This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the

Company’s Shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest

extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company’s Shareholders as a body,

for our engagement, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Board of Directors’ Responsibilities

The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements, in accordance with NZ IAS

34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determine is

necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error.

The Board of Directors is also responsible for the publication of the financial statements, whether in printed or electronic form.

Our Responsibilities

The Auditor-General is the auditor of the Group pursuant to section 5(1)(f) of the Public Audit Act 2001. Pursuant to section 32 of the

Public Audit Act 2001, the Auditor-General has appointed Andrew Dick of Deloitte Limited to carry out the annual audit of the Group.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance

with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410’). NZ SRE 2410

requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a

whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting. As the auditor of Genesis Energy Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to

the audit of the annual financial statements.

A review of the financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs

procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying

analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International

Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on those financial statements.

We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements.

In addition to this review and the audit of the Group’s annual financial statements, we have carried out assignments in the areas of

taxation, trustee reporting, scrutineer’s notice and other assurance and non-assurance services which are compatible with those

independence requirements. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.

In addition to these assignments, partners and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of

trading activities of the Group. Other than these assignments and trading activities, we have no relationship with, or interests in the Group.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements of the Group do not present

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2016 and its financial performance and cash flows for

the six months ended on that date in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
