Infratil Half Year Results to 30 September 2017
10 November 2017
The first half of FY2018 was good for Infratil. The Company is well resourced and well positioned to
progress many growth initiatives and to continue to deliver value and earning gains for Infratil’s
shareholders.
Net parent surplus from continuing operations for the period was $33.4 million compared with $28.9 million
for the same period last year.
Consolidated underlying EBITDAF from continuing operations
1
was $291.3 million (+$45.3 million from the
same period last year).
• The 18% uplift was largely due to positive generation and market circumstances for Trustpower
• Canberra Data Centres achieved a notable milestone and progressed a material growth initiative
• Wellington Airport saw solid traffic growth and continues to upgrade its facilities
• Longroad progress in its establishment phase is materially exceeding expectations
As previously announced Infratil has lifted its full year EBITDAF guidance to $485-525 million from the
$460-500 million range originally indicated.
Net debt of Infratil and wholly owned subsidiaries as at 30 September 2017 was $705.6 million, down from
$913.3 million as at 31 March 2017. Net debt was reduced by $237.9 million during the period following
receipt of proceeds following the sale of Metlifecare.
• Over the period $143.4 million in Infrastructure Bonds was raised, replacing $66.3 million of
maturing bonds and largely pre-funding Infratil’s November maturity ($81.1 million)
• Over $670 million of cash and undrawn bank facilities remain available
$139.5 million of capital was invested over the period. Investment initiatives included the commencement of
Tilt Renewables’ 54MW Salt Creek wind farm, ongoing investment by Wellington Airport in the transport
hub and on-site hotel, and investment in wind and solar generation via Longroad Energy.
The investments now underway reflect long lead times of planning, consenting and negotiating satisfactory
terms for the relevant construction and utilisation agreements.
The interim dividend for FY2018 is to be 6.00 cents per share, fully imputed, payable on 15 December 2017
to shareholders of record as at 28 November 2017.
• This is the seventh year in a row in which Infratil has increased the dividend. Last year the interim
dividend was 5.75 cps. In the 2016 calendar year total dividends paid amounted to 14.75 cps. In the
2017 calendar year 16.00 cps will have been paid, including this interim dividend
• The dividend reinvestment plan continues to be on hold

business performance. Underlying EBITDAF represents consolidated net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation,
financial derivative movements, revaluations, gains or losses on the sales of investments, and includes Infratil’s share of
RetireAustralia’s underlying profits. Underlying profit for RetireAustralia removes the impact of unrealised fair value movements on
investment properties, impairment of property, plant and equipment, excludes one-off gains and deferred taxation, and includes
realised resale gains and realised development margins.

•Operating revenue reduced by 3.7%, reflecting
declines within NZ Bus and Perth Energy following
contract losses and changing retail mix respectively
•Operating expenses reduced by 9.7% due to a strong
performance by Trustpower’s New Zealand
generation assets leading to less electricity being
purchased from third parties and Perth Energy
reducing overall contracted volume to focus primarily
on higher margin segments of the market
•Increase in depreciation and amortisation reflects
growth in asset base
•Net interest has remained steady with net cash at the
corporate level having decreased following
investments at the end of the prior period. This is
offset by maturing bonds across the Group being
replaced with coupon rates up to 285 basis points

EBITDAF for 1H18 was $159.1 million, $48.9 million (44%) above 1H17
•Trustpower’s diverse and flexible fleet of generation assets, together with
sound operating decisions, has allowed for above average prices and a strong
result
•Increased Retail EBITDAF of $29.6 million up $15.4 million from comparative
period, indicating that the investment in customers is starting to pay off
Customers
Customer growth was modest as retail acquisition campaigning was put on hold
during the period while the company realised high wholesale electricity prices
•Total accounts up 1% since 31 March 2017 to 390,000 accounts (up 3% since
September 2016)
•Total accounts with two or more utilities up 4% since 31 March 2017 to 94,000
accounts (up 12% since September 2016)

Generation
•Unfavourable wind conditions in the June quarter saw Australian production end 6%
below expectations despite a strong second quarter
•New Zealand wind production was 15% below long-term expectations
•All assets had lower production than the comparative half year, which benefited
from above average wind conditions
•Lower generation production costs as a result of production-linked maintenance and
landowner costs and higher level of capitalised asset replacements
•Market volatility continues in South Australia with higher levels of ancillary service
costs and the impact of curtailment (20GWh since 1 July 2017)
Construction and development
•Construction remains on schedule at Salt Creek Wind Farm (54MW in southwest
VIC) to achieve commercial operations by July 2018

2018 guidance is based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about the trading
performance of Infratil’s investments and is subject to risks and uncertainties, is dependent on
prevailing market conditions continuing throughout the outlook period and assumes no major changes
in the composition of the Infratil investment portfolio. Trading performance and market conditions can
and will change, which may materially affect the guidance set out above.
Underlying EBITDAF is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, presented to show
management’s view of the underlying business performance. Underlying EBITDAF represents
consolidated net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, financial derivative
movements, revaluations, gains or losses on the sales of investments, and includes Infratil’s share of
RetireAustralia’s underlying profits. Underlying profit for RetireAustralia removes the impact of
unrealised fair value movements on investment properties, impairment of property, plant and
equipment, excludes one-off gains and deferred taxation, and includes realised resale gains and
realised development margins.
•Initial guidance issued in May 2017 indicated
Underlying EBITDAF of $460-$500 million
•Underlying EBITDAF guidance was revised upwards
in October to $485-$525 million and performance is
currently tracking towards the middle of that range
•Guidance reflects current trajectory and changes in
the portfolio including:
-first half performance of TPW and Tilt Renewables
and a return to long run average wind and
hydrology for the balance of the year
-a full period of contribution from CDC and ANU
-continued growth from Wellington Airport
-return to long run house price inflation for
RetireAustralia for the balance of the year
-stabilisedretail operating conditions for Perth

•Underlying EBITDAF is a non-GAAP measure of
financial performance, presented to show
management’s view of the underlying business
performance
•Underlying EBITDAF represents consolidated net
earnings before interest, tax, depreciation,
amortisation, financial derivative movements,
revaluations, gains or losses on the sales of
investments, and includes Infratil’s share of
RetireAustralia and Metlifecare underlying profits
•Underlying profit for RetireAustralia and Metlifecare
removes the impact of unrealised fair value
movements on investment properties, impairment of
property, plant and equipment, excludes one-off gains
and deferred taxation, and includes realised resale
gains and realised development margins
•Underlying profit provides a better benchmark to
measure business performance
•The Group’s investment in Metlifecare was sold on
7 April 2017 but has no impact on the current period

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2017
Basis of preparation
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are issued but not yet effective and have not been applied in preparation of these
consolidated financial statements.
NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. NZ IFRS 9
includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial
assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from NZ IAS
39. NZ IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group has commenced a project to
review the impact of NZ IFRS 9 and will indicate the likely qualitative impact, if any, in its 31 March 2018 Annual Report.
NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised.
It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including NZ IAS 18 Revenue, NZ IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. NZ
IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group has commenced a project to review
the impact of NZ IFRS 15 and will indicate the likely quantitative impact, if any, in its 31 March 2018 Annual Report.
NZ IFRS 16 Leases, removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases – for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases.
Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating. The standard is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group has commenced a project to review the impact of NZ IFRS 16 and will indicate the likely qualitative impact,
if any, in its 31 March 2018 Annual Report.

Financing arrangements
During the period the A$41.6 million secured bank facility of Perth Energy has been refinanced with an expiry date of 21 May 2020. This facility and certain other
indebtedness between the Perth Energy Holdings Group and financiers has been guaranteed by Infratil Finance Limited.
Interest rates are determined by reference to prevailing money market rates at the time of draw-down plus a margin. Interest rates paid during the period ranged
from 2.2% to 4.2% (30 September 2016: 1.9% to 5.0%, 31 March 2017: 1.9% to 5.0%).
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2017
The Group's debt includes bank facilities with negative pledge arrangements, which, with limited exceptions, do not permit the borrower to grant any security over
its assets. The bank facilities require the borrower to maintain certain levels of shareholder funds and operate within defined performance and gearing ratios. The
banking arrangements also include restrictions over the sale or disposal of certain assets without bank agreement. Throughout the year the Group has complied
with all debt covenant requirements as imposed by lenders.
Notes to the Financial Statements
On 7 September 2016, Tilt Renewables signed financing documents in order to enable the funding of the demerger from Trustpower. These financing documents
included a new syndicated bank debt facility along with the continuation of the EKF Facilities which were historically used to fund a number of the Tilt Renewables
operating wind farms. These facilities were drawn down at implementation of the demerger on 31 October 2016 for the purpose of refinancing Trustpower debt and
are now classified as secured bank facilities.

Fixed coupon
Perpetual Infratil infrastructure bonds ('PIIBs')
Throughout the period the Company complied with all debt covenant requirements as imposed by the bond trustee.
The fixed coupon bonds the Company has on issue are at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest is payable quarterly on the bonds. 25 days prior to the maturity
date of the IFT090 series, Infratil can elect to redeem those infrastructure bonds at their $1.00 face value payable in cash, or convert all the infrastructure bonds in
the relevant series by issuing the number of shares equivalent to 98% of the face value of the bonds multiplied by the market price of the shares. The market price
is the average price weighted by volume of all trades of ordinary shares over the 10 business days up to the fifth business day before the maturity date.
The Company has 231,916,000 (30 September 2016: 233,405,600, 31 March 2017: 231,916,000) PIIBs on issue at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest is payable
quarterly on the bonds. For the period to 15 November 2017 the coupon is fixed at 3.63% per annum (September 2016: 4.26%, March 2017: 3.63%). Thereafter the
rate will be reset annually at 1.5% per annum over the then one year bank rate for quarterly payments, unless Infratil's gearing ratio exceeds certain thresholds, in
which case the margin increases. These infrastructure bonds have no fixed maturity date. No PIIBs (September 2016: nil, March 2017: 1,489,000) were repurchased
by Infratil Limited during the period.
At 30 September 2017 the Infrastructure bonds (including PIIBs) had a fair value of $1,031.4 million (30 September 2016: $968.9 million, 31 March 2017: $943.8
million).

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
• Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived
from prices) (level 2)
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements is their fair value, with the exception of bond debt and senior
notes held at amortised cost which have a fair value at 30 September 2017 of $1,857.7 million (30 September 2016: $1,742.5 million, 31 March 2017: $1,756.7
million) compared to a carrying value of $1,875.0 million (30 September 2016: $1,729.9 million, 31 March 2017: $1,788.9 million).

Published spot foreign exchange rates
Market quoted prices where available and management's best estimate based on
its view of the long run marginal cost of new generation where no market quoted
prices are available.
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
• The fair value of financial assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted
market prices.
• The fair value of other financial assets and liabilities are calculated using market-quoted rates based on discounted cash flow analysis.
• The fair value of derivative financial instruments are calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, use is made of discounted cash flow
analysis using the applicable yield curve or available forward price data for the duration of the instruments.
Where the fair value of a derivative is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the instrument, the two key types of variables used by
the valuation techniques are:
• forward price curve (for the relevant underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates or commodity prices); and
• discount rates.
Assumed counterparty cost of funds ranging from 3.3% to 3.5% (30 September
2016: 3.2% to 3.5%, 31 March 2017: 3.1% to 3.5%)
The selection of variables requires significant judgement and therefore there is a range of reasonably possible assumptions in respect of these variables that could
be used in estimating the fair value of these derivatives. Maximum use is made of observable market data when selecting variables and developing assumptions for
the valuation techniques.

The Group meets its energy sales demand by purchasing energy on spot markets, physical deliveries and financial derivative contracts. This exposes the Group to
fluctuations in the spot and forward price of energy. The Group has entered into a number of energy hedge contracts to reduce the energy price risk from price
fluctuations. These hedge contracts establish the price at which future specified quantities of energy are purchased and settled. Any resulting differential to be paid
or received is recognised as a component of energy costs through the term of the contract.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2017
The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the bank debt facilities of Infratil Finance Limited under a Deed of Negative Pledge,
Guarantee and Subordination and the Company is a guarantor to certain obligations of subsidiary companies.
The Perth Energy group has issued bank guarantees of A$24.5 million to satisfy the prudential requirements from suppliers and the Australian Energy Market
Operator.
The Company has a contingent liability under the international fund management agreement with Morrison & Co International Limited in the event that the Group
sells its international assets, or valuation of the assets exceeds the performance thresholds set out in the international fund management agreement.
During 2007 the European Commission opened formal investigations into alleged state aid in relation to Lübeck airport (owned and operated by Flughafen Lübeck
GmbH, one of the Group’s subsidiaries at that time). Lübeck is one of several airports in Germany in relation to which the European Commission opened formal
state aid investigations. One of the matters being investigated with regard to Lübeck airport related to Infratil Airports Europe Limited ('IAEL'), specifically the price
IAEL paid when it purchased 90% of Flughafen Lübeck GmbH. In February 2012, the investigation was formally extended to include the put option arrangements
(including the 2009 exercise of a put option by Infratil, by which it sold its interest in Lübeck airport back to the City of Lübeck) and the postponement of the put
option period. Since that time, Infratil and others (including Flughafen Lübeck GmbH, the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, and the government of the Federal Republic of
Germany) have worked to refute the allegations of state aid.
On 7 February 2017, the European Commission released a decision that there was no state aid in respect of any of the Lübeck airport transactions involving Infratil.
The decision becomes final and non-appealable if no interested party challenges it before the General Court of the European Union. The deadline for challenging
the Commission decision expires approximately 2.5 months after the later of the decision being served or published in the Official Journal of the EU. The decision
has not yet been published in the Official Journal, meaning the deadline for challenges cannot yet be determined. However, we consider it highly unlikely that any
third party with standing will challenge the matters involving Infratil.
To the extent any appeal is brought, Infratil maintains its position that the purchase of Flughafen Lübeck GmbH, including the put option arrangements, was the
result of an open, unconditional and transparent tender process in 2005, and that the put option arrangements, cannot, by their very nature and the circumstances
they were agreed on, involve state aid. Infratil continues to be confident that it will be able to demonstrate this, if necessary, to the General Court of the EU.
If IAEL was found to have received state aid, it would be required to refund the state aid received, together with computed interest. As the directors cannot predict
with any degree of certainty the outcome of the above matter, it is not possible to assess accurately the quantum of any financial cost to the Group.

Independent Review
Report
To the shareholders of Infratil Limited
Report on the condensed consolidated half year financial statements
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated
half year financial statements of Infratil Limited (the
company) and its subsidiaries (the group) on pages 1 to
23 do not:
i. present fairly in all material respects the
group’s financial position as at 30 September
2017 and its financial performance and cash
flows for the 6 month period ended on that
date; and
ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting.
We have completed a review of the accompanying
condensed consolidated half year financial statements
which comprise:
— the consolidated statement of financial position as at
30 September 2017;
— the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the 6
month period then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for conclusion
A review of condensed consolidated half year financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial
Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”) is a limited assurance engagement. The
auditor performs procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
As the auditor of Infratil Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit
of the annual financial statements.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to taxation, regulatory disclosures and other assurance
engagements. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group on normal
terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have not impaired our
independence as reviewer of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the group.
Use of this Independent Review Report
This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the Independent 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
shareholders as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the condensed consolidated half year financial
statements
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated half year financial statements in accordance with
NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting;
— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of condensed consolidated half year financial
statements that are fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the condensed consolidated half year
financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated half year financial statements based on our
review. We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything
has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated half year financial statements are not
prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
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 these condensed
consolidated half year financial statements.
This description forms part of our Independent Review Report.

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are issued but not yet effective and have not been applied in preparation of these
financial statements.
NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. NZ IFRS 9
includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial
assets, and new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from NZ IAS
39. NZ IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Group has commenced a project to
review the impact of NZ IFRS 9 and will indicate the likely qualitative impact, if any, in its 31 March 2018 financial statements.
NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It
replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including NZ IAS 18 Revenue, NZ IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. NZ IFRS
15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. The likely impact of this standard has not yet been
fully assessed, however it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
NZ IFRS 16 Leases, removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases – for the lessee – effectively treating all leases as finance leases.
Lessor accounting remains similar to current practice – i.e. lessors continue to classify leases as finance and operating. The standard is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The likely impact of this standard has not yet been fully assessed, however it is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements.

The audit fee includes the fees for both the annual audit of the financial statements and the review of the interim financial statements.
(5) Net investment realisations and (impairments)
At 30 September 2017 the Company reviewed the carrying amounts of loans to Infratil Group companies to determine whether there is any indication that those
assets have suffered an impairment loss. The recoverable amount of the asset was estimated by reference to the counterparties' net asset position and ability to
repay loans out of operating cash flows in order to determine the extent of any impairment loss. As a result the Company did not impair any loans to Infratil Group
companies in 2017 (September 2016: nil, March 2017: nil).

At 30 September 2017 the Infrastructure bonds (including PIIBs) had a fair value of $1,031.4 million (30 September 2016: $968.9 million, 31 March 2017: $943.8
million).
Fixed coupon
The fixed coupon bonds the Company has on issue are at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest is payable quarterly on the bonds. 25 days prior to the maturity date
of the IFT090 series, Infratil can elect to redeem those infrastructure bonds at their $1.00 face value payable in cash, or convert all the infrastructure bonds in the
relevant series by issuing the number of shares equivalent to 98% of the face value of the bonds multiplied by the market price of the shares. The market price is the
average price weighted by volume of all trades of ordinary shares over the 10 business days up to the fifth business day before the maturity date.
Perpetual Infratil infrastructure bonds ('PIIBs')
The Company has 231,916,600 (30 September 2016: 233,405,600, 31 March 2017: 231,916,600) PIIBs on issue at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest is payable
quarterly on the bonds. For the period to 15 November 2017 the coupon is fixed at 3.63% per annum (September 2016: 4.26%, March 2017: 3.63%). Thereafter the
rate will be reset annually at 1.5% per annum over the then one year bank rate for quarterly payments, unless Infratil's gearing ratio exceeds certain thresholds, in
which case the margin increases. These infrastructure bonds have no fixed maturity date. No PIIBs (September 2016: nil, March 2017: 1,489,000) were repurchased by
Infratil Limited during the period.
Throughout the year the Company complied with all debt covenant requirements as imposed by the bond trustee.

(10) Commitments
There are no outstanding commitments (30 September 2016: nil, 31 March 2017: nil).
(11) Contingent liabilities
The Company has interest rate swap derivatives that are classified as Level 2 and have a fair value liability of $14.9 million at 30 September 2017 (30 September 2016:
$22.0 million, 31 March 2017:$16.7m).
Fair value hierarchy
The analyses of financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method is below. The different levels have been defined as follows:
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
Movement in financial derivatives taken to the profit or loss
Other
The Company has a contingent liability under the international fund management agreement with Morrison & Co International Limited in the event that the Group
sells its international assets, or valuation of the assets exceeds the performance thresholds set out in the management agreement.
The Company has agreed to guarantee certain obligations of Infratil Trustee Limited, a related party, that is the Trustee to the Infratil Staff Share Scheme. The amount
of the guarantee is limited to the loans provided to the employees.
The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries are guarantors of the bank debt facilities of Infratil Finance Limited under a Deed of Negative Pledge, Guarantee
and Subordination and the Company is a guarantor to certain obligations of subsidiary companies. During the period a A$41.6 million secured bank facility of a non-
wholly owned subsidiary has been refinanced with an expiry date of 21 May 2020. This facility, and certain other indebtedness with the financier, has been
guaranteed by Infratil Finance Limited and the Company.
Interest rates
Interest rate risk is the risk of interest rate volatility negatively affecting the Company's interest expense cash flow and earnings. The Company mitigates this risk by
issuing borrowings at fixed interest rates or entering into Interest Rate Swaps to convert floating rate exposures to fixed rate exposure. Borrowings issued at fixed
rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk which is managed by the interest rate profile and hedging.

Independent Review
Report
To the shareholders of Infratil Limited
Report on the condensed half year financial statements
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the condensed half year
financial statements on pages 1 to 9 do not:
i. present fairly in all material respects the
company’s financial position as at 30
September 2017 and its financial performance
and cash flows for the 6 month period ended on
that date; and
ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting.
We have completed a review of the accompanying
condensed half year financial statements which
comprise:
— the statement of financial position as at 30
September 2017;
— the statements of comprehensive income, changes
in equity and cash flows for the 6 month period then
ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for conclusion
A review of condensed half year financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”) is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs
procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and
applying analytical and other review procedures.
As the auditor of Infratil Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit
of the annual financial statements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, Infratil Limited.
Use of this Independent Review Report
This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the Independent 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
shareholders as a body for our review work, this report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the condensed half year financial statements
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed half year financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting;
— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of condensed half year financial statements that
are fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations,
or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the condensed half year financial
statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed half year financial statements based on our review. We
conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to
our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed half year financial statements are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
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 these condensed half
year financial statements.
This description forms part of our Independent Review Report.

InfratilInterim Report 2017
REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN
AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Since 31 March 2017 Infratil has experienced generally satisfactory operating, market and
financial conditions. Pleasingly, so too have our shareholders.
As always, we judge our performance on two overarching criteria: how we operated over the period, and how we feel Infratil’s long-term value
prospects have changed. As will be apparent from the language, operations can be measured quite directly, while ‘value prospects’ entails
looking at a wider range of factors.

1. Underlying EBITDAF is a non-GAAP measure of financial performance, presented to show management’s view of the underlying business performance. Underlying EBITDAF
represents consolidated net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, financial derivative movements, revaluations, non-operating gains or losses on the sales of
investments, and includes Infratil’s share of RetireAustralia’s underlying profits. Underlying profit for RetireAustralia removes the impact of unrealised fair value movements on
investment properties, impairment of property, plant and equipment and excludes one-off gains and deferred taxation and adds back resale gains and realised development margins.
The good EBITDAF and satisfactory net
surplus for the period reflected the benefits
of diversification as well as some good
individual performances.
Trustpower experienced exceptionally
positive hydrology (it rained a lot in its
catchments) which more than offset Tilt
Renewable’s low generation (the weather
was calm around its wind farms). Wellington
Airport saw good passenger growth and each
of Canberra Data Centres, RetireAustralia
and ANU delivered satisfactory results.
Longroad contributed a $5.9 million cost,
which was in line with budget as its business
gets underway.
Less positively, Perth Energy continues to
make losses as it restructures its retail
portfolio, and NZ Bus’s contribution fell as
the loss of contracts took effect.
Discussion of the individual business
unit performances are provided later in
this report.
The operating circumstances of our
businesses are diverse. Each is impacted by
particular environmental, demand,
regulatory, technology, and competitive
factors. While this adds diversification
benefits, performance assessment requires
more precise analysis.
Infratil’s value prospects experienced
satisfactory developments over the period.
Warranting specific mention are Canberra
Data Centres, given its positive customer
and investment announcements, Trustpower
which saw a material mark up in its share
market value, and Longroad Energy which
has successfully established itself in the U.S.
renewables market.
Since 31 March 2017 Infratil shareholders
have received a 10 cents per share fully
imputed final FY2017 dividend and seen the
share price rise from the then level of $2.91.
Infratil owns infrastructure businesses that provide essential
facilities and services to individuals and communities.
To provide good risk-adjusted returns for its shareholders and
solid security for its bondholders, Infratil seeks to ensure that:
• Its businesses are efficient and provide good services to
their customers and communities.
• The businesses are in sectors with growing demand which
will give rise to opportunities to invest to meet that demand
and to lift returns.
• Financial and other sources of risk are accurately
monitored and well managed.
These goals are pursued through Infratil’s existing businesses
and by periodic divestment/investment.
23
InfratilInterim Report 2017
Mark Tume
Chairman
Marko Bogoievski
Chief Executive
Net operating cash flow for the period was
$130.8 million, up from $110.9 million for
the same period last year.
The net surplus was up $4.5 million to
$33.4 million. Higher earnings were partially
offset by higher tax, depreciation and
minorities.
In June 2017 $66.3 million of 8.5% per
annum Infrastructure Bonds matured.
A further $81.1 million of 8% per annum
Bonds are to be repaid in November. To
refinance these maturities, Infratil issued
$100.0 million of 5.65% per annum
Infrastructure Bonds maturing December
2022 and $43.4 million of 6.15% per annum
bonds maturing June 2025.
As at 30 September 2017 Infratil had net
bank deposits of $377.0 million.
The interim dividend for FY2018 is to be
6 cents per share payable on 15 December
2017 to shareholders of record as at
28 November 2017.
This is the seventh year in a row in which
Infratil has increased the dividend. Last year
the interim was 5.75 cps. In the 2016
calendar year total dividends paid amounted
to 14.75 cps. In 2017 16.00 cps will have been
paid, including this interim dividend.
The dividend is fully imputed. The dividend
reinvestment plan continues to be on hold.
Although dividends are only declared after a
financial period, and reflect a wide range of
variables, Infratil does review possible
future pay-out profiles on a ‘three year
ahead’ basis to ensure it can anticipate and
signal any likely material changes. While
actual dividends will ultimately depend on
performance and portfolio composition,
recent forecasts suggest continued increases
in absolute dividends per share. However,
given the proportion of future earnings
likely to be sourced ex-New Zealand, the
forecasts also indicate that providing full
imputation beyond the March 2018 financial
year will be problematic.
MARKETS, REGULATION, CHANGE
Infratil’s businesses have experienced a
number of unhelpful regulatory interactions
since 31 March 2017.
NZ Bus and its people have been impacted
by low-cost choices by regional transport
authorities when they have awarded contracts
to operate public transport bus services.
Winning tenders appear to have been based
on the operators paying lower wages.
Wellington Airport’s application for the
consents required to enable a lengthening of
its runway was on hold pending a court
decision as to how the Civil Aviation
Authority should interpret the regulations
which guide its decisions.
Regulation of Australia’s energy markets
continues to be in turmoil. On a number of
occasions some of Tilt Renewables’
operational wind farms were switched off
because South Australian grid rules required
the use of gas/coal fired plant.
President Trump announced a policy to
subsidise nuclear and coal fired generation.
At times it’s difficult to retain confidence in
law makers and regulators.
New Zealand of course has seen a change of
law makers after nine years. The Labour
Party led Government has something of a
clean sheet on many policy areas. But in
areas relevant to Infratil, their most clearly
enunciated goals are to up the rate of
infrastructure investment. However, it’s less
clear whether the Government intends going
it alone or working with private partners.
PROSPECTS
The first half of FY2018 was good for
Infratil.
The capital markets were supportive with
long term bond funding.
Canberra Data Centres achieved a notable
milestone and progressed a material growth
initiative.
Trustpower had an outstanding period of
climatic and market circumstances.
Wellington Airport saw solid traffic growth
and continues to upgrade its facilities.
Longroad’s progress, in its establishment
phase, more than met expectations.
Tilt Renewables started construction
of a new wind farm and progressed the
development of several others.
We are well resourced and well positioned
to progress our many growth initiatives and
to continue to deliver value and earning
gains for Infratil’s shareholders.
INVESTMENT ACTIVITY
While our businesses face highly diverse operating circumstances, there are some common features impacting investment activities.
Wellington Airport$40.3 millionTransport hub and hotel
Longroad Energy *$22.0 millionWind and solar generation in the USA
Tilt Renewables$21.1 millionSalt Creek Wind Farm in Victoria Australia
RetireAustralia *$20.6 millionLand acquisition and accommodation construction
Trustpower$15.9 millionMaintaining capability
NZ Bus$11.4 millionDouble decker buses
CDC *$5.3 millionEquipment to increase data centre utilisation
Other$2.9 million
Total capital invested$139.5 million
* the values reflect Infratil’s share of the capital invested. The total investment by these three companies was roughly twice these amounts.
At each of Wellington Airport, Tilt
Renewables, RetireAustralia, Trustpower,
NZ Bus and CDC the investments now
underway reflect long lead times of planning,
consenting and negotiating satisfactory
terms for the relevant construction and
utilisation agreements.
Each project is expected to give rise to a
development margin, to compensate for that
work and the associated risks. After all, not
all development projects give rise to
profitable investments.
Canberra Data Centres’ capital outlay in the
six months was mainly on equipment for its
existing four centres, but it has also
announced the start of the construction of a
fifth centre. This is an important step for CDC
and vindicates Infratil’s investment last year.
CDC operates in one of the world’s fastest
growing sectors and it’s good to see tangible
signs of CDC’s participation in that growth.
Longroad is in a somewhat different space.
It has only existed a year yet has acquired an
impressive portfolio of existing generation,
development projects and has also formed a
division to undertake day-to-day
management and operation of wind and
solar generation facilities, for Longroad’s
own plant and on contract for others.
It’s fair to say that Longroad has exceeded
expectations. The scale of the US market
and its liquidity and efficiency is a notch
above what we have experienced in Australia
or New Zealand.
The three shareholders, Infratil and the
NZ Superannuation Fund with 45% each
and management with 10%, committed
US$100 million to development projects.
While that figure is now being approached, it
is expected to be sufficient to continue
current development activity at a reasonable
pace. Additional options to invest in
operational assets and adjacent
opportunities will be evaluated on a
case-by-case basis.
THE CHALLENGE
One challenge Infratil and its businesses all
face comes from the world-wide phenomena
of ultra-low interest rates. Since the 2008
Global Financial Crisis central banks have
forced interest rates down to such an extent
that a recent Bank of England (BoE) paper
noted that ‘the global risk-free rate in July
2016 reached its lowest nominal level ever’;
that is since 1273, almost seven and a half
centuries ago.
Cheap debt may seem like a boon (except for
savers) but it creates distortions and risks.
Outside Australasia there is a great deal of
debate about whether very low interest rates
are now part of the problem rather than the
solution.
The problems for Infratil are:
• Investors have flocked to buy ‘near bond’
investments. Companies offering a good
dividend have seen their share prices rise.
Assets which offer solid rents have
similarly risen in price. This has priced
Infratil out of some brownfield
opportunities.
• Gradually investors of this type have taken
an interest in more complex and difficult
assets. For instance, buying power stations
with some energy price and volume risk.
This has pushed up the price of these
assets and pushed down their returns,
again squeezing Infratil out.
• The uncertainty about when it ends?
The BoE has calculated that global
risk-free rates have been falling since
1981 and that the subsequent 36 year
period is the longest ‘bull run’ since
interest rates fell in Venice between 1441
and 1481. The BoE paper also noted that
every bull run has an end.
Because Infratil seeks higher returns and we
are sceptical about ‘lower for longer’, Infratil
has adopted a circumspect and cautious
approach to investment.
If it turns out that rates do rise, especially
if that rise turns out to be sharp, then our
conservatism will be rewarded. Of course,
if rates don’t rise there will have been an
opportunity cost to Infratil’s approach; there
is some solace as ongoing low rates will raise
the value of our existing holdings.
FINANCIAL
Infratil recorded an Underlying EBITDAF
of $291.3 million over the six months.
The 18% uplift (+$45.3 million) on the same
period last year was largely due to positive
generation and market circumstances for
Trustpower. In some weather conditions
Trustpower’s hydro power stations get rain
when the more significant South Island
hydro lakes don’t. When this happens
Trustpower can increase its generation and
benefit from market prices increased by
national electricity supply constraints. This
occurred over the 2017 winter.
Thanks to the good first half, Infratil
has lifted its full year EBITDAF
guidance to $485-525 million from the
$460-500 million range originally indicated.

InfratilInterim Report 2017
On the following two pages we have set out five
graphs showing how Infratil’s assets, earnings,
funding, capital outlays, cash flows and
dividends have evolved over the last decade.
The data points for the 2018 year are either the position as at
30 September 2017 or midpoint estimates for the full year to
31 March 2018. All other data points are the years to 31 March
or as at the relevant 31 March.
Most of the changes over the decade reflect Infratil’s strategic
objectives and the resulting decisions relating to capital allocation
and funding.
Over the period, Infratil’s investments amounted to $4,230 million
and asset sales of $2,070 million.
Infratil has sought to invest in businesses with growing demand which
were likely to need additional capital investment to meet that demand,
and which offered the prospect of a good return on that capital.
Divestments have at times been ‘cut our losses’ (not all investments
are good ones), but mostly they reflected selling companies with
limited growth prospects.
One outcome of the activity has been increased operating cash flows
and dividends. A lesson of the GFC was that while shareholders seek
capital gains, dividends are also welcome.
It is obvious, but there is some trade-off between cash earnings,
dividends and capital growth. Investing totally for cash returns and
dividends leaves little room for growth, and vice versa. Infratil has
sought to balance the goals of achieving growth and the cash flow to
raise dividends.
A strategy illustrated by the funding graph is the conservative capital
structure Infratil has adopted over recent years. Dated debt has
fallen from providing 49% of Infratil’s funding to 19%. (A further 9%

One graph which could mislead shows consolidated EBITDAF. The

The graph shows the value of Infratil’s investments. Listed
investments (Trustpower and Tilt Renewables) are included at
their market values. All other assets are at their book values,
excluding deferred tax liabilities where capital gains taxes are not
expected to arise.
After growing strongly 2009-2012, EBITDAF has subsequently been
flat (+/- about $20 million). Several factors are behind this.
• One relates to the accounting treatment of business where Infratil
owns over 50% of the shares as opposed to those where Infratil
owns 50% or less. The former are consolidated meaning that
Infratil accounts for all of the businesses’ earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation, etc. With the latter group, Infratil accounts for
only its share of the businesses’ earnings after interest, tax,
depreciation, etc.

In 2012 12% of Infratil’s assets were not consolidated ( because
Infratil owned 50% or less of the relevant companies). In 2018
that percentage had risen to 33% and those companies will only
contribute about 10% of Infratil’s earnings.
• Another factor is that Infratil’s key new investments; CDC,
Longroad and RetireAustralia; are at early stages of their
profitability life-cycle.
• A further factor has been Infratil’s conservative use of debt (this
is explained below) and tendency in recent years to have large
cash deposits. On average each $200 million invested adds about
$35 million to EBITDAF, whereas the same funds on deposit
adds nothing (interest income is not included in EBITDAF).
• Not all of the story is positive or based on reporting technicalities.
The earnings of two of Infratil’s businesses have fallen materially
since 2012. That year, the combined EBITDAF of NZ Bus and
Perth Energy was $62 million and this year about $23 million
is projected.
Over the last decade, Infratil’s use of dated debt (mostly bonds,
but sometimes including net bank borrowing) has fallen; from
49% of Infratil’s total funding as at 31 March 2009 to 19% as at
30 September 2017 (perpetual debt also contributed about 9% of
the total funding on both dates). Two factors have largely driven this
change. One is management’s concern about the potential for
unpredictable adverse changes to global credit markets to cause an
increase in the cost of debt and its reduced availability. A second
factor is the difficulty management has experienced finding good
investments at good prices. Other investors who have been willing to
invest at low yields have driven the prices of many assets out of reach.
However, today Infratil’s financial capacity to invest is also being
husbanded in expectation that Tilt Renewables, Longroad,
Wellington Airport, CDC, RetireAustralia or another of Infratil’s
businesses will soon progress investments that will require capital.
The decade’s $4,230 million of capital investment has been allocated
43% to energy, 19% to transport, 13% to social infrastructure, 10% to
data and 15% to other sectors.
25% has involved buying businesses and 75% has been allocated
within those businesses to build power stations, accommodation,
airport terminals, etc.
Operating cash flow comprises underlying EBITDAF less payments
of interest and tax, and working capital movements.
Since 2013 net operating cash flows have been relatively flat (give
or take the impact of working capital), largely due to the factors that
have restrained earnings, as noted earlier.
However, the operating cash flows have also been solid and sufficient
to contribute to Infratil’s rising dividend.

The individual contributions to net operating earnings is set out below. The main sources of increase from the prior period came from
Trustpower, the maiden contribution from CDC, with some offset reflecting the sale of Metlifecare.
The $4.5 million increase in Net Parent Surplus included:
• $8.2 million lift in depreciation due to the higher asset base.
• $13.0 million increase in tax reflecting higher earnings.
• $17.9 million increase in minorities.
• Partially offsetting these increased costs, were a number of revaluation gains.

National Generation
Trustpower delivered an
excellent operating
performance and EBITDAF
up 34% on the same period
last year. In New Zealand the
winter was cold and still, and
dry in the crucial South
Island hydro catchments.
Demand for electricity rose,
supply was constrained,
and wholesale market prices
were up about 50% on
average for the time of year.
The additional positive for
Trustpower was that in areas
where it has power stations,
rainfall was heavier than
usual.
While these circumstances are not typical,
renewable electricity generation requires
back-ups which is what Trustpower was able
to provide this year. The electricity system
worked well to accommodate the climatic
vagaries. Some consumers will have received
higher bills, but most households have fixed
price contracts and will not have noticed
what was happening in the wholesale
market.
Markets with insufficient generation
back-up get into much more disruptive
problems, as is unfolding in South Australia.
Ascribing value to back-up generation
can be tricky because of the occasional
nature of demand and the range of possible
market price responses. Trustpower is
undertaking just such a valuation exercise in
respect of its Australian hydro generation
assets in NSW. It seems likely that this will
be positive, due to the potential to lift their
average output and because electricity prices
in Australia, especially for back-up
generation, have risen markedly over recent
years. The valuation and optimisation
exercise will also look at whether
Trustpower should retain ownership of the
generation.
The disrupted wholesale market resulted in
a period of stability for Trustpower’s utility
retailing operations as high wholesale
electricity prices made it less attractive to
chase retail sales. Positively, evidence
continues to accrue that households that buy
several utility services from one supplier are
more likely to be loyal to that supplier.
Showing the benefits that households place
on the convenience and cost advantages.
The new Government has announced a
review of electricity retailing in
New Zealand, but given falling real costs
for most households, New Zealand’s good
relative performance, the very open and
contested market, and the existing
proactivity of the Electricity Authority,
it’s not clear what the review will focus on.
The Government has also signalled an
intention to initiate measures to reduce
New Zealand’s carbon emissions, but that
also isn’t likely to have much impact on
electricity given that 86% is already
generated from renewable sources.

InfratilInterim Report 2017
Tilt Renewables’ EBITDAF
was down 20% on the same
period last year due to low
wind volume in both Australia
and New Zealand resulting in
generation that was 84GWh
below forecast averages.
In addition, the South
Australian Snowtown wind
farms were obliged to curtail
generation of 20GWh due
to new rules that effectively
limit the market’s reliance
on renewables.
Work has commenced on the A$105 million
54MW Salt Creek Wind Farm project in
Victoria with commissioning expected in
July 2018 and annual generation of 172GWh.
Development projects were also progressed
and Tilt Renewables now has all necessary
consents for 1,235MW of wind generation

For the larger projects, progressing to
construction now depends in large part on
the availability of contracts to sell the
generation output to reduce electricity
price risk.
One option is to sell to state governments
which have initiated programmes to buy
renewable electricity as climate change
initiatives and to create local employment.
Although these processes are likely to be
highly competitive.
That state governments are offering to buy
electricity and accept long-term price risk
indicates the problems besetting the
Australian electricity market, many of which
are the result of past regulatory
interventions.
Regulators have struggled to balance the
priorities of reliability, price, and the
transition to renewables. For instance,
renewable generation tends to be weather
dependent which creates a need for back up
sources of energy. Having been very
successful at transitioning to renewables,
South Australia has now encountered
availability problems, which, amongst other
things, has seen the state government
announce an initiative to install batteries
capable of storing a few hours electricity for
a few thousand homes.
Tilt Renewables is now looking at its
development projects to see if batteries,
pump-storage, or other technologies, could
be installed to increase their predictability.

For a start-up business,
Longroad has made
remarkable progress in a
short space of time as it
benefits from the support
of its shareholders and a
management team with a
long track record in the field
of renewable generation
development and operation.
Longroad now has 70
employees, twice the
number at Tilt Renewables.
The objective of Infratil and the
New Zealand Superannuation Fund
( both being 45% shareholders) in backing
the Longroad team was to participate in
projects which would give rise to
development margins, with options to
invest in a portfolio of US generation.
The ratio of development to ongoing
ownership wasn’t prescribed in the parties’
initial commitment of US$100 million.
Infratil and NZ Super’s quite high return
targets may be better suited to funding
developments, although generation assets
with higher levels of debt funding or those
which require some restructuring may also
offer high equity returns.
What is clear is that the Longroad team have
unearthed a plethora of opportunities and
have executed several of them. They include:
• Purchasing 680MW of operating solar
and wind plant, with attached debt
funding and long-term power offtake
agreements.
• Establishing a plant management and
servicing division. This operates
Longroad’s generation and a similar scale
of facilities on contract for third parties.
• Work is underway on a total of 6,000MW
of greenfield developments. 500MW of
wind and solar projects could be underway
within six months if appropriately priced
agreements can be negotiated to sell or
hedge the electricity output.
• 600MW of wind turbine equipment which
was purchased to benefit from the Federal
Production Tax Credit regime.
As at 30 September 2017 Infratil had
provided NZ$48.3 million to these
investments. Total shareholder
contributions were US$75 million.
At present it’s anticipated that the
US$100 million cap on development
will remain and any longer-term asset
ownership investment will be
subscribed on top of this sum.
For New Zealanders, long-range
observation of the US politics surrounding
renewable energy is difficult. The economics
of renewables in the US are highly
prospective; benefiting from intense
competition and (at least in some States)
short development times and low consenting
costs. However, the US President has a
high-profile commitment to coal.
Whether his position will make a difference
remains to be seen. It would require
substantial subsidies because solar, wind and
gas-fired generation are now cheaper than
new coal-fired generation.
In any case, politics are of little relevance for
Longroad’s more immediate developments.
The key constraint on construction starting
on the solar and wind projects noted above is
the need to secure long-term power offtake
or hedge agreements.
Longroad continues to opportunistically
review generation assets that offer
favourable returns and work is also
underway on the use of utility-scale battery
storage with solar generation.

Perth Energy Holding ’s
(PEH) energy retailing
subsidiary, Perth Energy,
had another difficult
period, which resulted
in PEH reporting a
A$5.8 million EBITDAF
loss for the half year.
This is an improvement on last year’s
A$9.1 million loss, but the path to retail
profitability requires the turnover of
unprofitable contracts that typically have
two year terms.
New sales were slow early in the period as
Perth Energy completed the overhaul of its
retail sales team with the appointment of a
new General Manager Retail. While
competition remains strong, particularly for
larger volume contracts, Perth Energy’s
second half is expected to see satisfactory
overall volumes and margins on new sales
and renewals.
To support this retail activity, Perth Energy
has contracted a competitively priced
wholesale portfolio of electricity and gas
products, governed by a comprehensive risk
management system.
In the meantime, the WA state government
review of the electricity market (which is
dominated by government-owned
competitor Synergy) has been slowly
progressing.
PEH’s generation subsidiary, Western
Energy, has been relatively insulated
from these changes and is continuing to
deliver reasonable earnings based on the
capacity charge it receives for its Kwinana
120MW dual-fuel power station. The
closure of the Muja AB coal fired power
station has demonstrated a commitment
from the state to bring the supply market
into balance, which is positive for capacity
prices in the future.
Kwinana was more pro-actively deployed
during the period as flexible gas supply
arrangements allowed a change to its
operations enabling it to make a greater
contribution to lowering Perth Energy’s
wholesale electricity costs.

InfratilInterim Report 2017
Passenger numbers showed
solid growth from increased
airline capacity and
marketing. Additional
capacity was added to several
domestic services, while
increased international
passenger numbers tended to
reflect higher aircraft loads.
The first year of Canberra- Singapore
services has been a great success and it is
hoped that this leads to its current four times
a week schedule increasing to daily. The
challenge for Singapore Airlines, and
Wellington, is the runway length. At present
the service is provided by a Boeing 777-200
and extensive testing is required to enable
certification of a new aircraft. Regulatory
agencies, airport, airlines and aircraft
manufacturers will all be involved.
The Singapore services have resulted in
an increase in Asian visitors to central
New Zealand. MBIE statistics show that
for the year to 30 September 2017, Chinese
visitor spend in central New Zealand rose
27% while the growth rate for the rest of
the country was only up 2%. Spending from
Asian visitors excluding those from China,
Korea and Japan was up 16% relative to
12% for the rest of New Zealand. However,
even after the growth only 7% of total
Asian tourist spend in New Zealand was
in the region covering Taranaki,
Horowhenua, Manawatu, Wanganui,
Hawkes Bay, Wellington, Marlborough,
Tasman and Nelson.
Good progress was achieved on the Airport’s
projects to increase car parking capacity,
improve the layout of the roadway in front of
the terminal, and to build a hotel accessible
from the terminal. This work is all due to be
completed by the end of 2018.
In August, the Supreme Court heard the
appeals of the Civil Aviation Authority
(CAA) and Wellington Airport regarding the
approach which CAA should take to
determining acceptable safety standards for
New Zealand airports; which has particular
relevance for CAA’s approval of the runway
safety areas of a number of New Zealand
airports.
CAA’s approach is consistent with
international conventions and regulatory
practice followed elsewhere. For instance,
Sydney Airport has 90 metre runway safety
areas and the Australian Aviation Authority
recently approved 90 metre safety areas for
Hobart Airport which, like Wellington, is
seeking to extend its runway to
accommodate larger aircraft.
It is hoped that the decision by the Supreme
Court will allow a quick resumption of
Wellington Airport’s consent application to
the Environment Court and, ultimately, the
advent of long-haul services to Wellington.

NZ Bus experienced a 28%
drop in EBITDAF due to
ceasing to provide services
in South Auckland and
from costs incurred from
the transition to the new
regulation and contracting
model.
While NZ Bus has lost its South Auckland
services, it has agreed contracts with
Auckland Transport through the rest of
the city that will involve approximately
500 buses, 1,000 people and six depots.
The contracts have an average term of nine
years and the resulting financial and
operational stability is allowing NZ Bus to
commit to a $47 million investment in its
fleet, including the purchase of an additional
75 double decker buses.
NZ Bus’s Auckland business now has a solid
base and good future growth prospects. The
new Government has also indicated a
willingness to increase support of Auckland’s
public transport initiatives. The logic of this
is apparent from the robust growth achieved
over the last decade.
It’s also notable that notwithstanding
disruptive regulatory changes, ongoing
roadworks and new timetables, NZ Bus
achieved good performance against
Auckland Transport’s punctuality and
reliability targets, illustrating its capability
and ability to adapt its services to meet
customer requirements.
In addition, the Company maintains the
highest health and safety standards in the
industry and enjoys the support of a
dedicated and skilled staff in delivering good
services for its communities and passengers.
NZ Bus has ACC accreditation for its
Partnership Programme and a Gold
environmental performance rating from
Enviro-Mark.
In the Wellington region, NZ Bus was
ineligible to tender for some contracts,
was unsuccessful in others, and is now
negotiating the terms of its appointed
contracts with Greater Wellington Regional
Council. This will result in an approximate
halving of the Wellington business to about
160 buses.
Once NZ Bus has fully transitioned into the
new regime in Auckland and Wellington it
will be roughly two thirds of its earlier scale
and earnings. It will be substantial and well
positioned to benefit from stable regulation
and the political will to grow patronage.
It’s also likely that there will continue
to be industry consolidation as operators
seek to improve economies of scale
and financial performance by lifting
efficiency and optimising their mix of
services and facilities.
NZ Bus has excellent staff who have
remained loyal through a difficult period of
the company’s history. It is committed to
improving efficiency and to providing the
highest standards of safety and comfort.

CDC delivered a good
EBITDAF outcome for the
period. A number of cost
one-offs, predominately
related to the opening of the
Hume 3 data centre,
combined to produce flat
earnings over the last year,
but this is forecast to now
pick up markedly and CDC’s
EBITDAF ‘run rate’ is
expected to be approximately
A$70 million by 31 March
2018.
A change to accounting treatment inflated
the net reported surplus Infratil attributed
to the investment by $10.4 million.
Since Infratil invested in CDC, demand
for Australian data centre capacity has
continued to rise, and there has been
ongoing investor interest in the sector.
ASX listed data centre operators have
returned approximately 45% over the year
(the global capitalisation of the sector has
risen over 50% according to data provided
by CapitalIQ). Demand for Australian data
centre capacity has been boosted by firms
using it as a safe reliable location for their
Asian data storage requirements.
CDC develops capability on a modular basis;
initially investing in building a data centre
(site, consenting, utilities, building, basic
infrastructure) and then providing fit-out
as clients utilise the data halls (rolling out
electricity, cooling, security, and the racks
into which clients place their servers).
This reduces capital deployment until
clients are ready.
Over the six months, CDC’s capex was
largely allocated to fit out. While this capital
spending is positive for future income
growth, CDC’s agreement with hyper-scale
cloud-provider Azure (a division of
Microsoft) has paved the way for the next
level of expansion, justifying an estimated
total investment of A$150 million in the
construction of a fifth Canberra data
centre. By the end of 2018 this centre
will lift CDC’s capacity from the existing
39MW to 59MW.
Azure provides data storage on a
massive scale and its efficient utilisation
of capacity reduces costs. It also provides
a platform for its customers to be able to
use a wide range of Microsoft and other
software providers’ tools. Azure contracted
to use CDC’s Canberra data centres because
they have the security controls and
accreditations required for the handling of
confidential government data. In addition,
CDC’s centres have secure connections with
the government owned Intra Government
Communications Network (ICON) which
provides Australian government agencies
with highly cost-effective network access
and communications.

RETIRE
AUSTRALIA
RetireAustralia’s underlying
net profit was up on the same
period last year due to a
marked uplift in unit sales
prices and values.
It has to be noted that the results in any six
month period may not be a fair reflection of
trends because of the range of
RetireAustralia’s villages and diversity of
contracts can result in distortions. Over the
long-term the Company’s success rests on
three variables; the quality of resident
experience, including the provision of a
continuum of care, the ability to expand
the provision of attractive purpose built
seniors’ accommodation, and the market
value of residences.
The latter of these variables continued to
provide a tailwind. The strong Australian
residential property market is reflected in
the A$631,400 average new unit price
RetireAustralia achieved over the period,
delivering a 28% development margin.
Last year the corresponding figures were
A$560,000 and 22%. During the current
period, average resale values were
A$407,000 which gave rise to an average
gain of A$136,000 (A$331,000 and
A$103,000 last year).
During the period RetireAustralia took
delivery of 36 new units, with the sell down
of current and previously delivered stock
yielding 39 new sales during the period. This
is consistent with expectations following the
decision last year to shift priorities to
multi-level apartment developments
involving care capabilities, over individual
units and the consequential impacts on
planning consents and delivery schedules.
RetireAustralia’s development pipeline is
on track to lift the rate of commissioning to
200 units in FY2020 and in due course to
300 a year. This is being progressed through

Glengara and 75 at Forresters Beach.
• Final planning consents have been

Queensland which will comprise 183
independent apartments and 35 care
apartments.
• Consenting is underway or pending for
three additional Queensland villages;
Tarragindi (94 independent units),
Burleigh Heads (145 independent units
and 32 care units), and the Ashgrove
Golf Club (112 independent units and
34 care units).
• In prestigious Lane Cove, Sydney, a site has
been purchased for A$22 million to allow
construction of a very top-end village.
RetireAustralia’s shareholders (Infratil and
the NZ Superannuation Fund) have
indicated their support for these initiatives
and willingness to subscribe for the
additional capital which their construction
will require.
The objective of developing a care offering
is progressing well. The trial that is
underway in the Central Coast villages is
providing excellent results and is being
well received by residents and the roll
out of home care services to the broader
portfolio is on target to be effected in the
forthcoming two years.

ENVISION VENTURES FUNDS
Although Infratil’s small investment in
Envision Ventures Funds was not increased

of electric vehicle recharging sites
(over 41,000 of them. In comparison,
New Zealand has about 1,250 petrol
stations).
Chargepoint has worked with governments
around the world to facilitate the
establishment and expansion of the
recharging infrastructure which electric
vehicles require.
New Zealand is at a very early stage of its
transport electrification. Of the more than
2 million vehicles in the National fleet, less
than 4,000 are electric.
AUSTRALIAN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
PARTNERS (ASIP)
ASIP’s main asset is a shareholding in the
Royal Adelaide Hospital public private
partnership. Construction and
commissioning of the 700 bed state-of-the
art A$1.85 billion facility was completed in
June, triggering the commencement of
quarterly availability payments by the state
government, which will continue for the
next 29 years.
The hospital was formally opened to the
public in August, and has ramped up to near
full capacity since then.
Following the hand-over investors’ interest
in the Hospital was revalued to reflect the
revised risk profile, with Infratil’s share of
the uplift being $6.9 million. This was the
main contribution to the book value of
Infratil’s holding in ASIP rising from
$34.0 million to $41.6 million over the six
months to 30 September 2017.
Over the period ASIP provided cash
earnings to Infratil of $0.6 million.
