2017/18 Year in review
New platforms gathering momentum while core businesses deliver strong results

10

•Underlying EBITDAF of $552.4 million, up $32.9 million (6.3%)

on the prior year of $519.5 million

•Proprietary sector platforms now in place and are an

important indicator of future success

-New renewables and data infrastructure platforms firmly

established and delivering

-Eldercare platform development pipeline repositioned to include

care apartments and an integrated continuum of care offering

-Core platforms likely to generate in excess of $1 billion of capital

deployment opportunities over the next three years

•$533 million of cash and undrawn bank facilities on hand at

31 March 2018

•Final dividend of 10.75cps, up 7.5% on the prior year

Infratil Annual Meeting 2018

Investing in “Ideas that Matter”
The cornerstone of Infratil’s approach to investment

Infratil Annual Meeting 201811

•Infratil invests in critical infrastructure and essential

services for countries, communities and individuals

•Since 1994 Infratil has consistently sought to invest:

-Where demographic or core societal trends are driving

long-term demand

-Where Infratil has capability and operational expertise

-Where there is opportunity for further re-investment

•What constitutes “infrastructure” continues to evolve as

technology and business models change

•Current key areas of focus include decarbonisation,

global mobility, data and an aging population

Salt Creek Wind Farm, Victoria

12
•Infratil’s goal is to provide

shareholders good risk-adjusted

returns across a diversified

infrastructure portfolio:

-Since its inception Infratil has returned

16.6% p.a. over 24 years

-Returns over the 3 years to

31 March 2018 were muted at 4.4% p.a.

as Infratil positioned itself for, and

executed, investment in new platforms

-Valuation discounts have narrowed

financial year to date as key platforms

have demonstrated tangible progress,

with returns to 23 August of 14.6%

Based on a closing share price of $3.445

Heading to a low emissions future
Building a global renewables platform

13

•Infratil has made a long-term commitment to renewables

•Energy markets constantly face short-term political

uncertainty, highlighting the benefits of market

diversification

•Infratil has developed a high quality development pipeline in

NZ, Australia and the US, with flexibility to reprioritise

projects

•The NZ government is consulting on its Zero Carbon Bill with

the aim of having the legislation in place by mid 2019

-There is widespread acknowledgement of the need to balance the three

goals of price, reliability, and emissions

-Infratil’s primary submission point is that emission reductions will require

substantial capital investment and that NZ should exercise caution to

ensure that investment is encouraged

-At least $200 billion is required over the next three decades to electrify

NZ and meet objectives

Infratil Annual Meeting 2018

Infratil’s current

renewable development

options:

Australia: 3,046MW

United States: 6,000MW

New Zealand: 540MW

Trustpower
Well placed to capitalise on a renewable future

14

•Trustpower provides Infratil with strong cashflows,

supporting growth platforms and broader

development opportunities

•Trustpower has a diverse and flexible portfolio of

hydro generation assets, and a unique multi-product

retail offering that is delivering customer and earnings

growth

•Following the sale of its Australian hydro assets and

the full takeover of King Country Energy, Trustpower

is well positioned to participate in further industry

consolidation

•Current strong capital position offers an opportunity

for a capital return to shareholders

Australasian Renewables
Tilt Renewables -a breath of fresh air

•Tilt’s pipeline of wind, solar and storage development

options provides Infratil with significant investment

opportunities in both Australia and New Zealand

•Infratil remains positive around the long-term

development opportunity despite significant policy

uncertainty in Australia

•In the three months to 30 June 2018 Tilt’s total energy

production was 50% above the comparative quarter in

2017 and 7% ahead of long-term expectations

illustrating the significant volatility of wind resources

•Dundonnell wind farm development project bid into the

Victorian Renewable Energy Auction Scheme, with an

expected total cost of approximately A$600 million,

including $A300 million from Tilt shareholders

Australasian Renewables
Tilt Renewables -Infratil and Mercury’s announced intention to make a takeover

offer

16

•On 15 August Infratil and Mercury announced their

intention to make a full takeover offer for Tilt Renewables

•Infratil and Mercury already respectively hold or control

51.04% and 19.99% of the Tilt shares

•The offer price of NZ$2.30 represents a 24.3% premium

to Tilt’s closing share price on 11 May 2018, being the

last trading day before Mercury acquired its 19.99%

stake

•If fully successful, the takeover offer will result in Infratil

increasing its holding in Tilt to 80.01%, at a cost of

NZ$208.54 million, with Mercury remaining at 19.99%

•The only substantive condition of the offer is approval

under the Australian Foreign Investment regime

•The offer is expected to close in October

US Renewables
Opportunities reflect the dynamic character of the US electricity generation market

17

•Longroad provides Infratil with extensive investment

opportunities across the renewable energy sector in a

rapidly changing US market

•Longroad recently confirmed the sale of its Phoebe

solar generation project in Texas and expects to

distribute approximately US$30 million to Infratil this

financial quarter

•Longroad is also progressing the Rio Bravo 238MW

wind project in Texas, with completion expected in

mid-2019

•Longroad remains well positioned for continued growth

through its significant wind and solar development

pipeline and its growing third-party services business

Australasian data and connectivity -Canberra Data Centres
Telco infrastructure is increasingly in the cross-hairs of infrastructure investors

18

•The data centre & telecommunications sectors continue

to be driven by improved access and connectivity to high-

speed broadband, and the growth in cloud-based services

•In 2018 CDC delivered a contracted EBITDAF run rate of

A$69 million and remains on track for 20% year-on-year

EBITDAF run rate growth in FY19

•Scheduled completion of the Fyshwick 2 data centre

(21MW) this calendar year, will be followed by

commencement of the first phase of CDC’s new ~50MW

campus at Hume next year

•The development of 5G wireless technology and ongoing

regulatory and policy developments should create further

opportunities for infrastructure investors within the future

Wellington Airport

$300 million five-year capital programme to be completed in FY2019

•Wellington Airport delivers strong cashflows while

continuing to grow faster than underlying GDP

•Continuing traffic increases and increased aircraft

size are expected to require additional investment

over the next five years

-Upgrade of the taxiway is now complete and the

transport hub and hotel are scheduled for

completion later this calendar year

-The project to extend the runway has resumed after

two years of frustrating court processes and a

commissioning date in 2022 is plausible

•User ratings of the Airport’s services and facilities

are at an all-time high and the Airport continues

to engage positively with the community

Infratil Annual Meeting 2018

Wellington Airport International Terminal

20
•NZ Bus provides reliable cashflows to Infratil, within a

contract setting that has shifted risk away from bus

operators and allowed the re-sizing of the business

-NZ Bus has secured geographically diversified, long-term

revenues across Auckland, Wellington and the Bay of Plenty

-Strong organic growth is expected, particularly in the

Auckland market but also in Wellington as GWRC looks to

phase in some route adjustments

-NZ Bus has a relatively young fleet of ~710 contracted

buses, and a network of 13 depots

•The TEV prototype electric bus has operated more than

6,000 kilometres in Wellington, with no reliability issues

•Infratil continues to evaluate future ownership options to

maximise value and stakeholder outcomes

Australian Eldercare Services -RetireAustralia
Pursuing a strategythat will deliver contemporary, high-quality retirement living

21

•Investment rationale remains compelling as Australia’s

aged population grows while investment in specialist

accommodation and care is lagging

•RetireAustraliais transitioning to an Australian version of

the “continuum-of-care” model but its development

rate has moderated while that transition occurs:

-Implementation of the integrated care model in Australia

has been challenging and will require patience

•2 medium density urban villages under construction,

with a further 260 new dwellings in the planning phase,

and a total development pipeline of ~1,100 dwellings

•Staged rollout of the home care offering has

commenced with services now accessible to more than

1,500 residents

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL POSITION

-Cash position of $182.5 million and wholly owned subsidiaries bank

facilities drawn of $37.3 million as at 31 July 2018

-$111.4 million of Infrastructure Bonds maturing in November 2018

are likely to replaced by a new/rollover offer

Infratil –platform set for the next phase of capital growth
Pressure now on capital allocation and setting priorities across multiple opportunities

24

Converting the near-term pipeline into cash or tangible net

assets:

•Have worked hard to establish multiple accretive options

•Investment is expected to be focused on renewables,

telecommunications, and retirement services:

-Valuation discounts are likely to narrow as current platforms

achieve independent scale

-Infratil has the benefit of working with supportive and

sophisticated shareholders in various JVs

Tightening the portfolio and reducing complexity:

•Review the long-term position of peripheral assets in the

portfolio and close out several lower-value options

•Ongoing performance management of key assets and capital
