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 its associates’ underlying profits (Canberra

Data Centres, Longroad Energy, RetireAustralia and ANU Student Accommodation). Underlying profit for RetireAustralia removes the impact of

unrealised fair value movements on investment properties and impairment of property, plant and equipment.

The revision to the FY2019 guidance follows confirmation of the forecast contribution from Longroad

Energy Holdings (LEH). As announced by Infratil on 20 July 2018, LEH sold its 250MWac Phoebe solar

generation project in Winkler county Texas to Canadian investor Innergex Renewable Energy. Since that

date, Infratil has been working with LEH to finalise the net development gains and accounting profit from

the project sale, while also updating LEH’s forecast net surplus after tax for the remainder of the financial

year. These items together have favourably impacted our forecast contribution from LEH to the

consolidated result by $34 million.

In setting its revised Underlying EBITDAF

1

guidance, Infratil notes the following key assumptions which

remain unchanged:

• Wellington International Airport FY19 EBITDAF

1

guidance of $100 million

• Canberra Data Centres 20% year-on-year EBITDAF

1

run rate growth (excluding revaluations)

• Long run average weather conditions and house price inflation for the remainder of the financial

year

• Capital expenditure guidance does not include capital required for the current takeover offer for Tilt

Renewables or Infratil’s expected contribution to the Tilt Renewables Dundonnell wind project.
