Interim results announcement for the period ended 30 September 2019
Significant capital invested in high performing renewable energy, data and connectivity
platforms
During the six months ended 30 September 2019 Infratil invested $1.4 billion which included the
acquisition of Vodafone NZ (‘Vodafone’) for $1,029 million. The remaining $332.6 million was invested
in Infratil’s existing businesses, including significant projects developed by Tilt Renewables and further
expansion of CDC Data Centres.
The acquisition of Vodafone represented the largest corporate transaction in New Zealand for over a
decade when Infratil acquired a 49.9% stake alongside global infrastructure investor Brookfield Asset
Management. The acquisition is transformational for Infratil and significantly strengthens the cash
generative core of the portfolio while increasing Infratil's exposure to long-term data and connectivity
growth. The deal was well supported by shareholders, reflected by the strong backing of the
NZ$400 million capital raise undertaken to as part of the acquisition.
Just as significant as the investment that was made during the period were the announcements around
future investment and the momentum within Infratil’s existing platforms:
• Tilt Renewables and Longroad Energy announced three new renewable generation projects
over the period amounting to 755MW of capacity at a total cost of $1,470 million. In aggregate
these two companies are now building 712MW of wind and 379MW of solar generation at a total
cost of $2,070 million;
• RetireAustralia is in the process of taking delivery of 70 new care-units at its Glengarra Village,
while construction is underway on 177 units at The Verge village adjacent to the Burleigh Golf
Club in Queensland;
• CDC Data Centres has outlined plans for the construction and fit out of up to an additional
150MW of data centre capacity across Canberra and Sydney;
• Vodafone is in the process of the initial roll-out of New Zealand’s first commercial 5G deployment
with 108 enabled cell-sites soon to provide 5G coverage in Queenstown, Christchurch,
Wellington, and Auckland; and,
• Wellington Airport has released its 2040 Master Plan which could involve $1,000 million of
investment over the next decade expanding capacity and improving resilience.
While the six-month period under review was dominated by investment, the divestments of four portfolio
businesses, ANU Student Accommodation, NZ Bus, Perth Energy and Snapper are also significant in
the context of Infratil’s goals and strategies. In addition to releasing capital, the asset sales reflect the
desire to simplify Infratil’s portfolio and recognise that those activities were unlikely to grow to a material
scale. The new investments reflect Infratil’s focus on growth infrastructure and commitment of capital
to high conviction platforms, in particular exposure to long-term data and connectivity growth and
renewable energy.
For the six-month period Infratil’s net parent surplus was $56.4 million, down from $58.5 million in the
prior period. This result included unfavourable foreign exchange and derivative movements of $16.4
million, compared to gains of $12.0 million in the prior period.
Underlying EBITDAF from continuing operations was $289.4 million for the year ended 30 September
2019, up from $284.6 million in the prior year. This included an initial two-month contribution from
Vodafone of $39.1 million. Excluding the contribution from Vodafone the main changes were lower
contributions from Trustpower and Longroad arising from low hydro generation in New Zealand and the
2
timing and terms of Longroad’s development activity and asset sales. As part of the 30 September 2019
result’s announcement Infratil is able to reaffirm its Underlying EBITDAF guidance range from
continuing operations of $655-$695 million for the year ending 31 March 2020.
Over the 6 months the Infratil share price rose from $4.17 to $4.92 and a dividend of 11.0 cps and
2.0 cps imputation credits was paid. In addition, shareholders had the opportunity to buy one share at
$4.00 for each 7.46 shares they owned under the pro-rata accelerated renounceable entitlement offer.
Shareholders who did not take up this offer received a payment equivalent to 4.69 cps.
The interim dividend will be 6.25 cps to be paid on 13 December 2019 to shareholders of record as at
29 November 2019. This will carry 1.5 cps of imputation credits. For this dividend, Infratil is
re-instituting its Dividend Reinvestment Plan in response to requests from shareholders. Details of how
to take advantage of this Plan are set out in a separate letter to be sent to shareholders.
There will be a briefing for institutional investors, analysts and media commencing at 10.00am at Prefab
Hall, 14 Jessie Street, Te Aro, Wellington. The briefing and Q&A session will be webcast live.

▪Tilt EBITDAF guidance of A$127-$132 million
▪Infratil’s share of CDC’s reported EBITDAF of

▪Accrued incentive Fees are excluded from
guidance
•Infratil expects to maintain its FY2020 final dividend at the
FY2019 final dividend level on a cents per share basis
•Underlying EBITDAF guidance is presented on a

•Capital expenditure excludes the acquisition of
Vodafone NZ, and includes a proportionate share of
capital expenditure spent by other associates
Notes:
1.Underlying EBITDAF and EBITDAF are non-GAAP measures and are reconciled and defined at Appendix I
2.Longroad Energy has closed the financing of its 243MW El Campo wind project including the sale of a 50% equity interest to two Danish pension
funds. As the sell down was for a 50% stake, Longroad will continue to consolidate the project and no gain on sale has been recorded to date
3.8 month contribution from Vodafone NZ, based on a 49.9% share of Underlying EBITDAF from 1 August 2019
4.Discontinued operations represent businesses that have been divested, or businesses which will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use

Underlying EBITDAF is an unaudited
non-GAAP (‘Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles’) measure of financial
performance, presented to provide
additional insight into management’s view
of the underlying business performance.
Specifically, in the context of operating
businesses, Underlying EBITDAF provides a
metric that can be used to report on the
operations of the business (as distinct from
investing and other valuation movements).
Market analysts also use Underlying
EBITDAF as an input into company
valuation and valuation metrics used to
assess relative value and performance of

EBITDAF
•Underlying EBITDAF is presented on a continuing operations basis and excludes any contributions
from discontinued operations.
•Underlying EBITDAF comprises:
•100% of the EBITDAF of the entities which are fully consolidated for Infratil’s Group Financial
Statements, that is Trustpower, Tilt Renewables and Wellington Airport;
•Infratil’s share of EBITDAF for CDC Data Centres (48%) and Vodafone NZ (49.9%);
•Infratil’s 50% share of the Underlying Profit of RetireAustralia (see definition below); and
•Infratil’s 40% share of the surplus before tax of Longroad Energy.
•Infratil’s approach to calculating Underlying EBITDAF is consistent with the prior reporting period,
with the exception of CDC Data Centres which was previously included on the basis of Infratil’s
share of Net profit after tax. Management’s view is that this change provides additional insight into
the underlying business performance of CDC Data Centres following growth in this investment.
•EBITDAFis net earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, financial derivative
movements, revaluations, impairment, gains or losses on the sales of investments.
•Underlying Profit is a non-GAAP performance measure used by RetireAustralia that removes the
impact of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties, impairment of property, plant
and equipment, one-off gains and deferred taxation, while adding back realised resale gains and
realised development margins. It is management’s view that Underlying Profit provides a more
predictable and consistent measure of performance year-on-year for RetireAustralia and is viewed
as a better reflection of the underlying performance.

Notes to the Financial
Statements
For the 6 months ended 30 September 2019
1 Accounting policies
Reporting Entity
Infratil Limited ('the Company') is a company domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993. The Company
is listed on the NZX Main Board ('NZX') and Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX'), and is an FMC Reporting Entity in terms of Part 7 of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Basis of preparation
These unaudited condensed consolidated half year financial statements ('half year statements') of Infratil Limited together with its
subsidiaries and associates ('the Group') have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and comply with
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These half year statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies stated in
the published financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 and should be read in conjunction with the previous annual report.
Except as described below, no changes have been made from the accounting policies used in the 31 March 2019 annual report which
can be obtained from Infratil's registered office or www.infratil.com. The presentation currency used in the preparation of these financial
statements is New Zealand dollars, which is also the Company's functional currency. Comparative figures have been restated where
appropriate to ensure consistency with the current period.
Changes in accounting policies
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases ('NZ IFRS 16') from 1 April 2019.
i) NZ IFRS 16 Leases
NZ IFRS 16 replaces NZ IAS 17 Leases and removes the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and
consequently for the lessee, all leases (other than short term or low value leases) are recognised on the Statement of Financial Position.
Similar to the previous finance lease model, this has resulted in the Group recognising right of use assets and related lease liabilities on
the statement of financial position. As a result, payments for leases previously classified as operating leases – which include leases of
land and buildings, telecommunications equipment and electricity transmission lines – have been reclassified from other operating
expenses to depreciation and interest expense. Lessor accounting remains materially unchanged under the new standard.
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and has not restated comparative amounts for the period
prior to first adoption. The Group has utilised the practical expedients permitted by NZ IFRS 16 in respect of short-term and low value
leases where appropriate. The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract contains a lease at the date of initial
application.
The lease liability was measured at the present value of the minimum lease payments, discounted at the incremental borrowing rate
applicable to that lease (or portfolio of leases) at 1 April 2019. In line with the modified retrospective approach, the associated right of
use assets were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability relating to that lease at 1 April 2019, with no overall change in net
assets. Where the lease pertains to property held to earn rental income, the right of use asset is classified as Investment Property and is
measured at fair value.
The impact of adoption of NZ IFRS 16 in the Group’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is summarised in the table below:

Financing arrangements
Infratil Finance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into bank facilities with a negative pledge arrangement,
which, with limited exceptions does not permit the Infratil Guaranteeing Group (‘IGG’) to grant any security over its assets. The IGG
comprises entities subject to a cross guarantee and comprises Infratil Limited, Infratil Finance Limited and certain other wholly owned
subsidiaries. The IGG does not incorporate the underlying assets of the Company’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries and investments in
associates. The IGG facilities also include restrictions over the sale or disposal of certain assets without bank agreement. Liability under
the cross guarantee is limited to the amount of debt drawn under the IGG facilities, plus any unpaid interest and costs
of recovery. At 30 September drawn debt and accrued interest under the IGG facilities was $327.7 million (30 September 2018: nil,
31 March 2019: $70.2 million).
Infratil Energy New Zealand Limited (‘IENZ’), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is not a member of the IGG and has granted a
security interest over its assets as part of its bank facility arrangements. IENZ has total facilities of $125.0 million, of which $10.0 million was
drawn as at 30 September 2019 (30 September 2018: nil, 31 March 2019: nil).
The Group’s non-wholly owned subsidiaries also enter into bank facility arrangements. Amounts outstanding under these facilities are
included within loans and borrowings in the table above. Wellington International Airport and Trustpower facilities are both subject to
negative pledge arrangements, which with limited exceptions does not permit those entities to grant security over their respective assets.
Tilt Renewables has granted security under a General Security Agreement in relation to its bank facilities. All non-wholly owned subsidiary
facilities are subject to restrictions over the sale or disposal of certain assets without bank agreement.
27
The various bank facilities across the Group require the relevant borrowing group to maintain certain levels of shareholder funds and
operate within defined performance and gearing ratios. Throughout the period the Group has complied with all debt covenant
requirements as imposed by the respective lenders.
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 1.6% to 3.7% (30 September 2018: 2.2% to 4.5%, 31 March 2019: 2.2% to 4.5%).

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 convert all of the bonds in that series to equity by issuing
the number of shares calculated by dividing the $1.00 face value by 98% of the market price of an Infratil share. 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.
IFTHC bonds
The Company has 112,053,000 (30 September 2018: nil, 31 March 2019: nil) IFTHCs on issue at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest
is payable quarterly on the bonds. For the period to 15 December 2020 the coupon is fixed at 3.50% per annum (September 2018: nil,
March 2019: nil). Thereafter the rate will be reset annually at 2.50% per annum over the then one year bank rate for quarterly payments.
Perpetual Infratil infrastructure bonds ('PIIBs')
The Company has 231,916,000 (30 September 2018: 231,916,000, 31 March 2019: 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 2019 the coupon is fixed at 3.55% per
annum (September 2018: 3.50%, March 2019: 3.55%). Thereafter the rate will be reset annually at 1.50% 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 2018: nil, March 2019: nil) were repurchased by Infratil
Limited during the period.
At 30 September 2019 the Infrastructure bonds (including PIIBs) had a fair value of $1,393.6 million (30 September 2018: $973.9 million,
31 March 2019: $1,104.4 million).
13 Financial instruments
13.1 Fair values
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 2019 of $2,415.4 million
(30 September 2018: $1,762.3 million, 31 March 2019: $1,997.8 million) compared to a carrying value of $2,339.5 million
(30 September 2018: $1,746.1 million, 31 March 2019: $1,979.5 million). The fair value of the Group's bank loans are not materially
different to the carrying values disclosed in note 11.
13.2 Estimation of fair values
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.
Valuation inputSource
Interest rate forward price curve
Published market swap rates
Foreign exchange forward prices
Published spot foreign exchange rates
Electricity forward price curve
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
Discount rate for valuing interest rate derivatives
Published market interest rates as applicable to the remaining
life of the instrument
Discount rate for valuing forward foreign exchange contracts
Published market rates as applicable to the remaining life of
the instrument
Discount rate for valuing electricity price derivatives
Assumed counterparty cost of funds ranging from 3.3% to 3.5%
(30 September 2018: 3.3% to 3.5%, 31 March 2019: 3.1% to 4.1%)
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.
29
13.3 Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined
as follows:
• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
• 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)
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The following tables present the Group's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

fair value hierarchy during the period ended 30 September 2019 (30 September 2018: none, 31 March 2019: none).
13.4 Energy derivatives
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.

On 8 May 2017 the Company obtained a standing waiver from the former NZSX Listing Rule 9.2.1 (which, under the transition
arrangements for the new NZSX Listing Rules, has been grandparented to 30 June 2020 to allow for re-documentation under the new
NZSX Listing Rules). The effect of the waiver is to waive the requirement for Infratil to obtain an Ordinary Resolution from shareholders to
enter into a Material Transaction with a Related Party to the extent required to allow Infratil to enter into transactions with co-investors
that have also engaged an entity related to MCO for investment management or advisory services. The waiver is provided on the
conditions specified in paragraph 2 of the waiver decision, which is available on Infratil's website: www.infratil.com/for-investors/
announcements. As yet, no transaction has been entered into with reliance on this waiver.
On 31 May 2019 Infratil announced that the sale of its public transport ticketing subsidiary Snapper to Allectus Capital Limited (‘Allectus’)
for nominal consideration. Allectus is owned by ICM Limited (‘ICM’). Infratil notes that Duncan Saville, a director of MCO, is the Chairman
and founder of ICM. Infratil confirms that the sale of Snapper was considered and approved by the Independent Directors of Infratil, who
are satisfied that the transaction was negotiated and entered into on an arm’s length commercial basis and that the directors associated
with MCO have not exercised any undue influence over the Board in its decisions in respect of the transaction.

17 International Portfolio incentive fee
International Investments ('International Portfolio Assets') are eligible for International Portfolio incentive fees (‘Incentive fees’) under the
Management Agreement between MCIM and Infratil. The Agreement allows for incentives to be payable for performance in excess of a
minimum hurdle of 12% per annum in three separate areas:
• Initial Incentive Fees;
• Annual Incentive Fees; and,
• Realised Incentive Fees.
All investments that are acquired in any one financial year are grouped together for the purposes of the Initial Incentive Fee, and an Initial
Incentive Fee is payable at 20% of the outperformance of these assets against a benchmark of 12% p.a. after tax, compounding.
Thereafter International Portfolio Assets are grouped together, and an Annual Incentive Fee is payable at 20% of the outperformance
of those assets against the higher of, a benchmark of 12% p.a. after tax, relative to the most recent 31 March valuation, or cost. Realised
Incentive Fees are payable on the realised gains from the sale or other realisation of an International Portfolio Asset at 20% of the
outperformance (since the last valuation date) against the higher of, a benchmark of 12% p.a. after tax, relative to the most recent
31 March valuation, or cost.
The investments in Australian Social Infrastructure Partners, CDC Data Centres, Longroad Energy, RetireAustralia and Tilt Renewables are
currently eligible for the International Portfolio Annual Incentive fee assessment as at 31 March 2020. There are no other International
Portfolio Assets.
As at 30 September, it is probable that Infratil will have an International Portfolio Annual Incentive fee (for the year to 31 March 2020)
due to MCO based on the performance of the above portfolio of assets, and as a result an amount of $12.7 million has been accrued as
at 30 September. Incentive fee calculations as at 31 March are based on independent valuations as at that date.
18 Contingent liabilities and legal matters
Snowtown Wind Farm Stage 2 Pty Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tilt Renewables, has been served with court proceedings on behalf
of the Australian Energy Regulator ('AER') in relation to their investigations into the system black event which occurred in South Australia on
28 September 2016. The company will continue to engage with the AER in an endeavour to resolve this matter.
There were no other contingent liabilities as at 30 September 2019.
19 Events after balance date

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 services, audit of 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.

financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed consolidated half year financial statements based on our

NZ IFRS 16 Leases replaces NZ IAS 17 Leases and 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 Company is not party to any material lease contracts and therefore the adoption of
this accounting standard has not had a material impact on the financial statements.
These unaudited condensed half year financial statements ('half year statements') of Infratil Limited have been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting and comply with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The half year statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
stated in the published financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2019 and should be read in conjunction with the previous annual report. Other than those
noted below, no changes have been made from the accounting policies used in the 31 March 2019 annual report which can be obtained from Infratil's registered
office or www.infratil.com. The presentation currency used in the preparation of these financial statements is New Zealand dollars, which is also the Company's
functional currency. Comparative figures have been restated where appropriate to ensure consistency with the current period.
Infratil Limited ('the Company') is a company domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993. The Company is listed on the NZX Main Board
('NZX') and Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX'), and is an FMC Reporting Entity in terms of Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

(5) Net investment realisations and (impairments)
At 30 September 2019 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 the period (30 September 2018: nil, 31 March 2019: nil).

IFTHC bonds
Perpetual Infratil infrastructure bonds ('PIIBs')
The Company has 112,053,000 (30 September 2018: nil, 31 March 2019: nil) IFTHCs on issue at a face value of $1.00 per bond. Interest is payable quarterly on the
bonds. For the period to 15 December 2020 the coupon is fixed at 3.50% per annum (September 2018: nil, March 2019: nil). Thereafter the rate will be reset
annually at 2.5% 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 mature on 15 December 2029.
Throughout the period the Company complied with all debt covenant requirements as imposed by the bond Supervisor.
At 30 September 2019 the infrastructure bonds (including PIIBs) had a fair value of $1,393.6 million (30 September 2018: $973.9 million, 31 March 2019: $1,104.4
million).
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 convert all of the bonds in that series to equity by issuing the number of shares calculated by dividing the $1.00 face
value by 98% of the market price of an Infratil share. 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 2018: 231,916,000, 31 March 2019: 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 2019 the coupon is fixed at 3.55% per annum (September 2018: 3.50%, March 2019: 3.55%). 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 2018: nil, March 2019: nil) were repurchased by
Infratil Limited during the period.

Movement in financial derivatives taken to the profit or loss
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.
• 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 analyses of financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method is below. The different levels have been defined as follows:
Infratil Finance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into bank facilities with a negative pledge arrangement, which, with limited
exceptions does not permit the Infratil Guaranteeing Group (‘IGG’) to grant any security over its assets. The IGG comprises entities subject to a cross guarantee and
includes Infratil Limited, Infratil Finance Limited and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries. The IGG does not incorporate the underlying assets of the Company’s
non-wholly owned subsidiaries and investments in associates. The IGG facilities also include restrictions over the sale or disposal of certain assets without bank
agreement. The Company's liability under the cross guarantee is limited to the amount of debt drawn under the IGG facilities, plus any unpaid interest and costs of
recovery. At 30 September drawn debt and accrued interest under the IGG facilities was $327.7 million (30 September 2018: nil, 31 March 2019: $70.2 million).
• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
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.
• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1)
The Company has interest rate swap derivatives that are classified as Level 2 and have a fair value liability of $6.5 million at 30 September 2019 (30 September 2018:
$9.9 million, 31 March 2019: $7.9 million).

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 2019 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 2019;
— 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, the company.
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.
2
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 auditor’s Report.

Growing
on a strong
foundation
Infratil
Interim Report
2019
Infratil invests in infrastructure businesses that provide
essential services to communities, and individuals.
Shareholders receive good risk-adjusted returns if the
businesses deliver high-quality service, are efficient,
and risks are well managed.
Infratil’s investment approach entails:
• Finding infrastructure opportunities
where demand is growing and it is
possible to invest with a realistic
prospect of fair returns that
compensate for risks and endeavour,
and with sufficient scale to warrant
active management.
• Ensuring funding and investment
diversity so that changes in
circumstances can be withstood
and opportunities taken.
• Building long-term relationships
with co-investors that have aligned
interests and values.
The infrastructure investment market is
competitive and evolving. In particular,
ultra-low interest rates are causing
institutional investors to shift capital
from bonds into “bond-like” investments.
This market dynamic is impacting the
returns available on low-risk
infrastructure assets and increasing the
attractiveness of existing assets and
proprietary development opportunities.

guidance range of
$655 million to $695 million.
This was the range provided in
May, later adjusted to incorporate
the 31 July 2019 Vodafone NZ
acquisition.
A highlight of the period was the
$1,029 million acquisition of 49.9% of
Vodafone NZ.
Funding for this and other investments
was provided by a mixture of debt, a
$400 million equity raise and cash asset
sale proceeds of $317 million.
Infratil’s portfolio of businesses provide
resilience and growth-potential and a
sound base for good shareholder returns.
In addition to contributions from
Vodafone NZ, Infratil anticipates
earnings and value growth from the
almost $3,000 million of announced
investment plans and activities of
Tilt Renewables, Longroad Energy, CDC
Data Centres and Wellington Airport.

Report of the
Chief Executive
In May Infratil participated in the
largest corporate transaction in
New Zealand for over a decade
when it acquired a 49.9% stake in
Vodafone NZ alongside global
infrastructure investor Brookfield
Asset Management.
The sale by Vodafone’s UK parent to
focus on opportunities closer to home
created a significant opportunity for
Infratil and Brookfield to invest in the
New Zealand telecommunications
sector.
There is no doubt that for Infratil the
success of this investment matters
and there is also no doubt that to be
successful Vodafone NZ must deliver
for its customers and NZ-Inc, as well
as providing a good workplace for
the skilled people it needs.
To deliver for customers, country,
employees and owners Vodafone NZ
must address both challenges and
opportunities. It needs to significantly
improve its customer service experience
and show leadership in the next
generation of mobile network technology.
It also needs to cope with a market which
is highly competitive where customers
expect to get more for less.
We believe that the expertise available
to Infratil and Brookfield and within
Vodafone NZ will be able to navigate
the risks and opportunities. The simple
metrics of the acquisition are
summarised below:
• $3,400 million was paid to Vodafone
Plc for its New Zealand operations.
$1,349 million was raised by Vodafone
NZ as bank debt. $1,029 million came
from Infratil and the same sum was
provided by Brookfield.
• Infratil anticipates a mid-teen equity
return on its $1,029 million investment.
This is based on Vodafone NZ
maintaining revenues while delivering
on new products, customer service,
platform rationalisation, and ongoing
cost savings.
• There are downside risks. The
business case is reliant on a rational
industry structure and behaviour and
sensible regulation. And improving
Vodafone NZ’s operations could take
longer than anticipated.
• There is upside potential too. The
valuation base-case assumes that
Vodafone’s investment in the next
generation mobile network
technology (“5G”) is value neutral.
That outcome will be better if the
additional capacity results in higher
revenues or more profitable services.
Vodafone NZ’s shareholders and
management are committed to
improving efficiency, to lifting customer
service and to meeting demand growth
through network investment. Nothing we
have seen since closing the acquisition
on 31 July 2019 has changed those
goals or materially changed our view
on the market potential or our ability
to deliver.
While the period under review may have
been dominated by the $1,029 million
investment into Vodafone NZ, several
other transactions were important for
Infratil, financially and in the context of
our goals and strategies:
• Infratil sold its interests in ANU
Student Accommodation, Snapper,
Perth Energy, and NZ Bus.
• Longroad Energy announced the
commencement of work on two
generation facilities in the USA with
a combined cost of approximately
$1,170 million. Tilt Renewables
announced that it will be building a
$277 million wind farm in Taranaki.
Wellington Airport published its
Master Plan intention to invest over
$600 million in facilities over the
next five years, and CDC laid out
plans for the construction and fit out
of additional data centre capacity at
its three campuses at a total cost of
over $600 million.
In addition to releasing capital, the
asset sales reflect our desire to simplify
Infratil’s portfolio and recognise that
those activities were unlikely to have
opportunities to grow to a material
scale. The new investments reflect
Infratil’s focus on growth infrastructure.
Infratil has been transitioning for
an extended period as we sought
to allocate capital to growth
infrastructure businesses which provide
the right balance of strong cash flows,
resilience and returns. Now the priority
is more about making the best of
Infratil’s existing businesses than about
repositioning capital.
Capital & Funding
Over the six months, the net debt of
Infratil and 100% subsidiaries as a
percentage of total capital (measured
by market value) increased to 34.5%
from 33.6%. This is consistent with Infratil
maintaining shadow “Investment Grade”
credit metrics.
However, a snapshot of the capital
structure only conveys that moment in
time. Of greater relevance is the support
of capital providers, which was
illustrated by the provision of $400 million
of new equity and $268 million of
long-term bond funding. This support is
greatly appreciated and reflects a long
history of delivering strong returns.
3
As important as the backing of the
debt and equity capital markets was
the support Infratil received from its
banks. They provided funding while
more permanent sources of capital
were arranged. The acquisition
funding was well led by ANZ Bank.
We received some criticism for not
undertaking the whole $400 million
equity raising on a pro-rata basis
(75 million shares were offered pro-rata
to existing shareholders, and 25 million
were sold by tender). We believe that
the best outcome for shareholders
meant taking a balanced approach
to both maximising value (i.e. selling
the shares at the highest price) and
maximising the right to participate. The
success of the equity raise is evident
and the Infratil shares have performed
well since the offer closed.
Earnings, Guidance &
Dividends
Infratil’s Net Parent Surplus was
$56.4 million down from $58.5 million
due to an adverse $29.8 million
swing in revaluations and realisations.
For the six month period the EBITDAF
1
of Infratil’s continuing operations were
$289.4 million from $284.6 million last
year. Excluding the contribution from
Vodafone NZ the main changes were
lower contributions from Trustpower
and Longroad arising from low hydro
generation in New Zealand and
the timing and terms of Longroad’s
development activity and asset sales.
The guidance for FY2020 given back
in May (later adjusted to reflect the
Vodafone NZ transaction) is reaffirmed.

Over the period the Infratil share
price rose from $4.17 to $4.92 and a

cash and 2.0 cps imputation credits
was paid. In addition, shareholders had
the opportunity to buy one share at
$4.00 for each 7.46 shares they owned.
Shareholders who did not take up this
offer received a payment equivalent
to 4.69 cps.
All told, a shareholder with 1,000
shares with a market value of
$4,170 as at 31 March 2019 who
reinvested the after-tax value of
the dividend and the rights
pay-out, would have had 1,032

a market value of $5,077.
Over the twenty five and a half years
since listing, Infratil has returned 18.0%
per annum compound after tax for a
shareholder who reinvested all dividends
and the value of rights.

Report of the
Chief Executive
The interim dividend will be 6.25 cps to be
paid on 13 December 2019 to shareholders
of record as at 29 November 2019. This will
carry 1.5 cps of imputation credits. For this
dividend, Infratil is re-instituting its
Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) in
response to requests from shareholders.
Details of how to take advantage of
this are set out in a separate letter sent
to shareholders.
Dividends reflect financial
circumstances, prospects and cash
earnings. As previously signalled,
dividends on a per share basis were
expected to be flat for the FY2020
financial year, recognising that the
number of shares has increased 18%.
As Infratil starts to receive higher
cash earnings from its more recent
investments, we expect this to feed
through to allow Infratil to raise its
per share dividend.
People
During the period we welcomed
Catherine Savage to Infratil’s board
and said farewell to Humphry Rolleston
after thirteen years. Our CEO team
was boosted with Jason Paris at
Vodafone NZ and Dr Brett Robinson at
RetireAustralia. With the sale of Snapper
and NZ Bus we lose Miki Szikszai
and Zane Fulljames who we thank for
their contributions over the years.
Markets, Regulation, Change
Progress continues in New Zealand
towards a comprehensive policy
framework to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Policies to reduce emissions
are intrinsically debatable. Some people
believe in immediate unilateral action,
others prefer a multilateral approach to
ensure that all countries do their share
and incur similar net costs.
For investors in long-life infrastructure
assets long-term price signals are
critical. For this, the legislation and
associated institutions must be widely
supported and based on sound
principles. Otherwise, investors will be
discouraged by the risk of change.
The score-card of the Zero Carbon
Act as it has evolved is positive, but
not perfect. Government’s response
to expert advice to avoid a massive
intervention into the electricity sector
(already one of the greenest in the
world and getting greener) and to give
farmers five years to develop their own
emission reduction plan shows common
sense. But there is still no clarity about
how the pricing of emissions in
New Zealand will be linked to credible
offshore jurisdictions. While everyone
should want New Zealand’s emissions
to be reduced, the global reduction of
emissions will happen faster and at
much lower cost if capital is attracted
to where it can achieve the greatest
reduction for the least cost.
If, for instance, reducing emissions in
New Zealand were to cost $100 per
tonne while the same reduction could
be achieved for $5 elsewhere, it’s not
helping New Zealand or the other
country or the planet to misallocate the
investment to the higher cost project.
It also undermines the credibility of the
regime.
It has to be noted that while
New Zealand’s emerging emission
reduction plan isn’t perfect, it is far
better than the ad hoc approach
occurring in many other countries.
In addition to making submissions on
New Zealand’s emission reduction
policies, Infratil also submitted to the
Reserve Bank on its plans to raise the
level and hence cost of bank capital.
Unlike the formation of decarbonisation
policies, parliament and its elected
representatives are largely absent from
decisions affecting the financial sector
because the regulatory power has been
delegated to the Reserve Bank.
Prospects
Infratil’s goal is to provide
attractive cash and value returns
for its shareholders and a safe
investment for its bondholders.
The strategy to deliver on those
goals is based on owning a portfolio
of businesses where some provide
strong resilient cash income and value
protection, and others provide growth.
We feel that the portfolio is well
balanced and reflects our longer-term
perspective on sectors that will drive
New Zealand and other economies.
Infratil is supported by its shareholders
and their backing of the $400 million
capital raise is greatly appreciated.
By way of context, after this equity raise,
Infratil had (over the period since March
1994) received a net $745 million from its
shareholders as subscribed capital, paid
out cash dividends of $1,365 million, and
as at 30 September 2019 had a market
value of $3,245 million.

Over the six month period
the Board oversaw Infratil’s
largest ever transaction, being
the acquisition of 49.9% of
Vodafone NZ for $1,029 million.
The role of the directors in a transaction
of this significance is material. While
management undertakes the relevant
analysis, negotiates transaction terms
and prepares documents, the Board
performs an overall review and must
ultimately decide if the transaction will
add value for Infratil’s shareholders.
Report of the
Board Chair
It will take several years before we know
if Vodafone NZ will provide the returns
we expect, but it is reasonable to infer
from the market response and specific
feedback that this was a transaction
worth undertaking.
Another question for directors relates to
the equity raising. As reported elsewhere
in this report, we had several priorities:
• When we announced that we had
agreed to acquire the interest in
Vodafone NZ we had to have
certainty of raising $400 million of
equity. This meant that the issue
had to be underwritten.
• The ideal outcome of any equity issue
is that it is taken up proportionately
by all shareholders.
Balancing the objectives of certainty,
equitable participation, and a fair price;
resulted in the Board supporting the
issue structure employed.
I would also note that for the Board this
transaction entailed the management
of a number of conflicts due to director’s
other interests. I am confident these
were dealt with in an appropriate and
professional manner.
I am satisfied that your Board did a
good job in a compressed timeframe
overseeing this transaction. The
feedback from shareholders and in
correspondence with key stakeholders
such as the NZ Shareholders Association,
has generally been positive.
We appreciate when shareholders show
serious interest in what we are doing. By
way of example I note below a summary
of a question I received at this year’s,
well attended, annual meeting. It was
asked by Tony Mitchell who is chair of
the NZ Shareholders Association.
Considerations of the Board included:
• What are the standalone merits
of the investment and how do they
compare with other opportunities?
• How does this large investment
fit with Infratil’s portfolio; is it
complementary and how does it
change the risk/return balance?
• Is the investment partner
compatible?
• How will asset sales, new equity and
debt change Infratil’s risk profile?
• What are the reputational
consequences?
• How will the equity raising impact
shareholders?

Q: A key role for boards is to manage
risk. What does the Infratil Board
consider to be the three key risks,
how do you manage them and
what do you do to check on their
management?
A: The critical risk is underperformance
by the companies Infratil has invested
in. The Board spends a lot of time
getting to understand what is going
on in those companies, their
circumstances, operations and capex
programmes. The Infratil Board does
not manage the companies, but it
needs to understand the key metrics
that will deliver success and what
risks they face.
A second key risk comes from the
structure of the balance sheet. The
big learning from the Global Financial
Crisis (GFC) was the need to focus
not so much on interest rate risk as
liquidity risk, especially the ability to
refinance debt when times get hard.
A lot of Board time focuses on liquidity
risk, the liquidity profile, and the ability
to withstand a GFC-type event.
The third risk relates to having the
best people available to manage
Infratil and the investee companies.
We are very focused on human
resources and depth.
It’s good for the Board to hear from
shareholders. While it is sometimes
not possible to satisfy all requests, we
do listen, and I encourage both our
shareholders and bondholders to get
in touch.
The interim dividend being paid in
December reflects feedback we have
received from shareholders. We are
maintaining the cash dividend and
restarting the dividend reinvestment plan.
Over the year, the Board has undergone
changes. We have increased the
number of directors to seven, appointing
Kirsty Mactaggart and Catherine
Savage. Humphry Rolleston retired after
thirteen years as an Infratil director.
As I said at the Annual Meeting, I thank
Humphry for his service to Infratil. He
often provided a unique perspective
on issues based on his extensive
experience in business. He challenged
proposals and the views of others, but
always played the ball and not the
man, and was unfailingly cordial. Infratil
has benefited from his perspective and
rigour and we enjoyed working with him.
New directors are recommended to the
Board by our Nominations Committee
comprising Alison Gerry, Paul Gough
and myself. We use a formal search and
appointment process. New directors
are put to a vote of shareholders at
the following Annual Meeting. Director
terms are for three years when they
need to stand for re-election if they
wish to continue in the role. At this year’s
Meeting Alison Gerry, Kirsty Mactaggart
and Catherine Savage were subject
to shareholder vote and each received
over 99% support.
Infratil is fortunate in that it has quite
stable ownership. Our issue of nearly
100 million new shares went mostly to
existing shareholders but about a third
have gone to new parties. We intend
to justify your support in Infratil; and on
behalf of the board and management
thank all those who participated in
providing this capital.

Financial Trends
Infratil Assets
The goal of asset allocation is to achieve a
balance between core and growth assets;
ones that provide robust income and those
that will generate value growth. This
objective is reflected in the evolving
portfolio of businesses.
The values used in this graph were extracted
from annual reports.
Capital Investment
Infrastructure is intrinsically capital intensive.
Only by deploying capital is it possible to
generate compound growth.
Over the last ten years, $5,455 million was
invested. $3,388 million was undertaken by
Infratil owned businesses growing their own
activities and $2,067 million was allocated
to acquisitions.
On these two pages are graphs of Infratil’s
assets, capital investment, funding, earnings,
cash flow, and dividends over the decade;
along with brief explanations. For the Financial
Year 2020 the figures are either as at
30 September 2019 or a mid-point estimate
of the full year outcome.

Underlying EBITDAF
1
Over the decade the combined earnings
of the core businesses Trustpower/Tilt/
Wellington Airport rose 38% (3.2% per
annum) while the contribution of the rest
increased 707% (23.2% per annum).
The level of earnings of recent years reflects
recycling capital (selling from mature higher
earnings companies and reinvesting into
businesses at an earlier stage of their
commercial lives) and because Infratil only
accounts for its share of the after tax profits
of RetireAustralia, CDC and Longroad, as
they are not consolidated.
Operating Cash Flows & Dividends
Robust cash earnings have supported the
increase in the dividend to Infratil’s
shareholders. Recent investments resulted
in guidance that dividends would be flat for
two years with growth expected to resume
as Vodafone NZ provides cash income and
imputation credits.
Operating cash flows comprise EBITDAF
1
less
payments of interest and tax and any
adjustment required for changes in working
capital (which can be up or down).
Infratil Funding
The use of debt is constrained by Infratil’s
policy of maintaining credit metrics that are
broadly consistent with an Investment Grade
credit rating (Infratil is not credit rated)
and with maintaining availability of funds for
investment opportunities.

An explanation of the sources of
these figures is provided under the
next table.
Trustpower’s earnings last year
benefitted from a period of
extraordinary hydrology and
wholesale market electricity prices.
This year generation was below
average due to a plant outage
and higher costs which were not
passed on.
Longroad’s relatively volatile
earnings largely reflect the different
accounting treatment and timing
of project development gains which
depend on the circumstances of
each sale.
CDC’s higher earnings reflected
demand growth and past investment
in capacity.

Capital Expenditure &
Investment
For consolidated subsidiaries the table
shows the total capital investment.
For Longroad the figure is the amount
of cash Infratil provided during the
period. For CDC and RetireAustralia it
shows 48% and 50% respectively of their
capital investment. The Vodafone NZ
sum is Infratil’s investment amount.
The “Other/Parent” investment includes
$0.4 million advanced to Clearvision
and $17.6 million advanced to Infratil
Infrastructure Property (IIP).
Not shown in the table are Infratil’s
incremental $61.3 million investment
into RetireAustralia, and $8.1 million
investment into CDC.
Infratil’s Assets
The values of Trustpower and
Tilt Renewables reflect their NZX
share prices on the relevant dates.
The other values are book values
excluding deferred tax when capital
gains tax is not anticipated.
It should be noted that accounting
book values are not necessarily the
same as market values. For instance,
Wellington Airport’s book value
represents approximately 11 times
that company’s EBITDAF
1
and a market
value would almost certainly be higher.
As at 31 March 2019, the independent
market values of Infratil’s investment in
Longroad and CDC were respectively
$123 million and $889 million.
Over the period Infratil received
consideration of $359 million from asset
sales including $135 million which is the
provisional NZ Bus proceeds. $93 million
of this was received as cash with the
balance being a $42 million loan (this
asset is included in “Other”). The final
NZ Bus proceeds are subject to an
earnout mechanism.
$1,029.6 million was invested in Vodafone
NZ, $8.1 million in CDC, $61.3 million in
RetireAustralia, and $17.6 million in Infratil
Infrastructure Property. Infratil advanced
$5.9 million to Longroad and received
back $21.3 million as capital returns and
distributions.
Over the period, an independent
valuation of IIP’s properties resulted
in a $25.2 million uplift. This, and the
additional funding, resulted in Infratil’s
book value of this investment being
$73.3 million as at 30 September 2019.
For 30 September exchange rates of NZ$/A$ 0.9287 and NZ$/US$ 0.6277 were used
(0.9574 and 0.6785 for 31 March).

Consolidated Operating
Cash Flow
The increase in working capital
reflects the payment of $102.5 million
in management fees which were
outstanding as at 31 March 2019.
As at 30 September 2019 Infratil and
100% subsidiaries had $873.0 million of
bank facilities drawn to $337.0 million.
Infratil guaranteed letters of credit
issued by Longroad Energy which
as at 30 September 2019 amounted
to $83.2 million (31 March 2019
$85.0 million). That is the only credit
support provided by Infratil to any
less than 100% owned business.
Over the six months no bonds matured.
Infratil issued two new bonds raising
$268.3 million:
• $112,053,000 to December 2029.
3.50% per annum initial coupon with
the coupon reset annually from
15 December 2020 to yield 2.50%
over the one year bank swap rate.
• $156,279,000 to December 2026.
3.35% per annum fixed coupon.
During the period Infratil issued new
shares. 100 million were issued as a part
of the Vodafone NZ transaction raising
$391.3 million (net of brokerage). The
issue was structured to provide Infratil
with certainty of proceeds (via
underwriting), an opportunity for all
shareholders to participate, a high issue
price (to minimise dilution), and a strong
after-market.
Capital of Infratil and 100%
subsidiaries
• 25,000,000 shares were sold by tender.
• 29,505,098 shares were offered
pro rata to institutional shareholders.
27,805,098 were taken up and
1,700,000 sold by tender.
• 45,487,130 shares were offered
pro rata to retail shareholders.
30,400,000 were taken up and
15,087,130 sold by tender.
Shares not taken up in the pro rata
issue were all tendered at $4.35, with
the 35 cents paid to the shareholder
which had not taken up the entitlement.
In addition to the above, 265,267
shares were issued to management of
subsidiaries as a part of incentive plans.
Excluding treasury stock, over the six
month period Infratil’s shares on issue
rose from 558,503,166 to 659,535,661.
The share price rose from $4.17 to $4.92.

Over the last five years, low electricity
prices resulted in approximately 5% of
national capacity being decommissioned
(largely high cost gas-fired generation)
while less than 1% of new capacity was
added. Almost the mirror image of what
happened 2009-2014. Now higher prices
are incentivising construction of wind
and geothermal generation capacity.
Trustpower is undertaking feasibility
analysis of a number of geothermal and
smaller-scale hydro projects.
While the recent low level of investment
in new generation capacity was mainly
due to low electricity prices, construction
would also have been held back pending
release of two government reports which
could have been negative for the sector.
One was the Electricity Price Review
undertaken by a Minister appointed
panel and the other was the Interim
Climate Change Committee report on
decarbonising New Zealand’s electricity
generation.
In the event, both endorsed the
structure of the industry and provided
recommendations which sensibly
balanced costs and benefits. While
few industries enjoy such reviews, it’s a
shame they are not used more widely
as many industries’ “locked and loaded”
regulatory structures would benefit from
re-evaluation. For no obvious reason
the electricity industry regularly gets a
regulatory spring clean and seems the
better for it.
Trustpower had a disappointing
period reflecting low generation,
high wholesale electricity
prices, and higher operating
costs which were not passed on
to fixed tariff retail customers.
Customers on fixed tariff terms tend to
be insulated against wholesale market
price volatility if it just reflects hydrology
or some other short-term supply
constraint. But it now appears that the
period of national generation over-
capacity is ending and this may mean
that higher and more volatile wholesale
prices are not a brief phenomenon and
will raise end user prices.

EBITDAF

was up due to higher
Australian generation with
Salt Creek operating for a full
period and less South Australian
system constraints (approximately
20GWh of generation was
curtailed, half the level of last
year) and higher prices on output
not sold on contract.
Tilt’s proportionately smaller New Zealand
generation capacity saw 8% less output
due to lighter winds.
While full year earnings guidance
increased slightly, the story of the
period was largely about progress at
Tilt’s generation projects (Tilt has 636MW
of operational capacity, 469MW under
construction, and a further 3,400MW in
its development pipeline).
Dundonnell, Victoria. 336MW,
124 turbines, A$560 million cost.
On track and on budget for
commissioning later in calendar
2020. The construction project is
being managed by Vestas (turbines
and towers) and AusNet (transmission
connection), with Tilt participating
through overall management. Tilt’s
development and construction
expertise is reflected in its track
record of bringing its development
projects in on time and on budget.
Waipipi, Taranaki. 133MW, 31 turbines,
NZ$277 million cost. Construction is
now underway following arrangement
of $241 million of debt funding, with the
NZ$36 million balance provided by Tilt.
All of the wind farm’s 455GWh of annual
generation has been sold to Genesis
Energy to 2041.
Waipipi is forecast to provide annual
EBITDAF
1
of $22 million a year and free
cash flow after paying debt interest and
principal of $9 million per annum. The
advantageous economics of this project
reflect both the low financing costs
and the technological steps taken by
turbine manufacturer Siemens Gamesa,
which is illustrated by a comparison of
Tilt’s oldest and newest wind farms.
3,400MW of other wind, solar, and
storage projects are at various stages
of development across Australia and
New Zealand.
Snowtown II, South Australia. 270MW,
90 turbines, A$400 million construction
cost. This wind farm was commissioned
in 2014 and with a proven generation
record and long-term off-take and
maintenance agreements is a very
low risk asset and source of revenue.
Reflecting this, Tilt is reviewing its
ownership of this facility to ascertain
if the capital should be redeployed
into growth opportunities. The first
stage of the review involved arranging
a A$616 million five-year loan which
is secured against the wind farm’s
income and value. This enabled the
repayment of A$483 million of Tilt’s
original demerger debt and provided
A$86 million of funds for other uses.

Longroad
Energy
During the six months Longroad
started construction on two new
renewable generation projects,
Prospero I and El Campo, and
completed the sale of its interest
in the Rio Bravo wind project and
sold a 50% interest in El Campo.
An outline of each of Longroad’s
projects is set out on the right.
As at 30 September 2019, Longroad had
provided Infratil with a net $12.7 million
of cash (i.e. Longroad has paid out more
than Infratil has put in) and it owned
684MW of solar and wind generation,
has two projects under construction
with Longroad owning 100% of
one (Prospero I) and 50% of the other
(El Campo), and was the contracted
manager of 2,292MW of generation
plant, about half for third parties.
The two new projects mean that since
31 March 2019, Longroad has started
construction on 622MW of generation
against a full year goal of 800MW, and
approximately 700MW targeted in FY2021.
The USA remains favourable for the
development of renewable generation.
US corporates are active buyers of
“green” electricity on long-term
contracts. Low cost debt and tax-
efficient funding is available to credible
counterparties. Many states are
supportive of initiatives to increase
renewable electricity generation which,
together with falling plant cost, is
balancing lower Federal support.
These features make for a very active
and progressive market, and Longroad’s
credentials as a reliable successful
developer ensures it has wide access
to transactions and counterparties.
The development and operational
experience also helps with understanding
opportunities in other developed markets.
NZ$ values are for the relevant six and twelve month period.

Wellington
Airport
Traffic at Wellington Airport was
flat over the six months as airlines
paired capacity and increased
loadings. As has happened in the
past, consolidation is following
a period of substantial growth.
Wellington’s traffic is a mixture of
domestic-trunk, regional, short-haul
international, and a sliver of long-haul
which is noted below. The flat overall
result included solid regional
performance, a mixture on international,
and weak trunk traffic. The changed
mix of passengers resulted in a lower
average aeronautical charge.
While relatively positive regional traffic
mainly reflects airline decisions, the new
airport hotel also contributed. Four
out of five journeys between the regions
around Wellington (Nelson, Napier,
New Plymouth, etc.) and international
destinations go through Auckland
or Christchurch. Offering travellers a
pleasant overnight stay at the Rydges
Hotel at the start and end of their
journeys will encourage some to change
their itineraries.
Wellington’s only wide-bodied long-haul
service received a fillip during the period
with Singapore Airlines announcing
the upgrade of its four times a week
Wellington-Melbourne-Singapore B777
service to five times a week with a
new A350. Illustrating the benefits of
the latest generation aircraft, its carbon
footprint per passenger is estimated
to be 20% lower than that of the older
aircraft.
For Wellington Airport, the main event of
this period was publication of the draft
2040 Master Plan. This measures the
Airport’s physical infrastructure against
forecast demand growth and formulates
what is required to ensure compatibility.
The exercise identified the need for over
$1,000 million to be invested over the
next decade; buying land, expanding
the terminal and airfield, and resilience
measures such as replacing the seawall
which protects the runway.
Preparation is underway with serious
work expected to start later in 2020
after further analysis and consultation.
The Plan has attracted some interest
from those concerned about aviation
related carbon emissions. An efficient
capable airport doesn’t create demand
for air travel any more than hospitals
make people sick. As illustrated by
the Singapore Airlines’ A350, better
equipment and more efficient operations
significantly reduces waste and emissions.
Wellington Airport is working to
reduce its own emissions and hopes
to contribute to improving the public
transport links with the city. It has
also undertaken its first GRESB social
and environmental report to improve
the quality and objectivity of that
information.

CDC
Data Centres
Over the six months, CDC Data
Centres continued to expand
capacity to accommodate
burgeoning demand.
A$248.4 million was invested constructing
and fitting out data centres at the
campuses at Fyshwick and Hume in
Canberra and Eastern Creek in Sydney.
CDC is on track to have a further 50MW
of capacity available in FY2021.
If its full 120MW of capacity is built out,
Eastern Creek could become Australia’s
largest data centre campus by capacity
(20MW is now available with 25MW
under construction).
CDC is forecasting FY2020 reported
EBITDAF
1
of between A$110 million and
A$120 million (double the level of FY2018)
and an end of year EBITDAF
1
run-rate
of between $135 million and A$145 million
(up from A$65 million two years prior).
Funding for the construction is coming
from a mixture of retained earnings,
debt and shareholder contribution.
In a presentation given to fund
managers and analysts in October,
CDC management explained CDC’s
unique features and why they are
attracting customers willing to write
long-term contracts. It is a combination
of factors which includes:
• CDC data centres offer the highest
level of accredited reliability and
security. Notwithstanding this,
construction costs are amongst the
lowest in the world on a per MW basis.
• Specifically with regards to the
Eastern Creek campus, it has
immediate proximity to Sydney’s
high voltage grid which has a 100%
availability record, as well as
sufficient onsite generation should a
network outage ever occur. Eastern
Creek also has comprehensive
communication links with connections
via 17 telecommunication
companies.
• CDC’s strong customer relationships
and scale means it can tailor its
offering to suit different user needs.
A government agency may want
to only pay for what is used while
still having likely room to grow if
storage needs expand. A hyperscale
user may be willing to pre-contract
a large capacity footprint for
an extended period so as to have
certainty of availability.
CDC’s customer mix, by revenue is:
• 40% Government, growing
at 12-15% per annum. With
very specific, non-negotiable
requirements for data storage
and availability.
• 45% Hyperscale, growing 20-28%
per annum. Highly sophisticated
clients which require certainty of
available capacity to meet their
rapidly expanding needs.
• 15% National Critical infrastructure
providers and other commercial

Vodafone
New Zealand
Infratil closed its purchase of
49.9% of Vodafone NZ on 31 July.
Over the subsequent two months
to 30 September 2019 its
contribution to Infratil’s result was
$39.1 million EBITDAF
1
and a net
loss of $3.2 million after deducting
interest, tax, depreciation,
adjustments and transaction
costs (both figures reflect Infratil’s
49.9% ownership).
For its full year to 31 March 2020,
Vodafone NZ is forecasting EBITDAF
1
about the same as recent years.
However, while FY2020 is forecast to
produce a financial outcome similar
to prior years, a great deal of work is
underway to revitalise the business
and ensure Vodafone NZ maintains
leadership in an attractive market in
the future.

• The initial roll-out of the 5G mobile
network using Nokia technology is
underway with 108 enabled cell-sites
soon to provide coverage for parts
of Queenstown, Christchurch,
Wellington, and Auckland. This will
be New Zealand’s first commercial
5G deployment delivering increased
mobile broadband speeds and
paving the way for additional mobile
applications.
The challenge for mobile telco
operators is to capture value from the
5G network investment. The learning
from the upgrade to 4G a decade
ago was that consumers got more for
less while telecommunication
companies failed to grow returns on
their capital. Positively, New Zealand
market data shows that fixed wireless
broadband connections are
increasing about 20% per annum
while fibre broadband and mobile
connections are also rising slightly;
while all other means of connection
are shrinking.
• Like most integrated
telecommunication businesses,
Vodafone NZ has legacy customer
service systems which are expensive
to operate and can cause customers,
staff and management frustration.
This situation reflects the company’s
history of acquisitions and relatively
slow progress on digitisation and
process simplification. The focus now
is to rationalise the multiple systems
to provide customer, product
development, and cost benefits.
Notwithstanding the relatively slow
progress in the past, Vodafone NZ
has the opportunity to dramatically
improve its capability and
performance utilising cloud-based
integrated, lower-cost IT systems that
have the potential to differentiate its
market position.
In the short-term, while the investment
in systems is underway, Vodafone NZ
has increased its local customer service
team so as to improve its customers’
experience and reduce fault resolution
times.

RetireAustralia
The Australian retirement
sector continues to experience
difficult market conditions. The
weak housing market is making it
harder to sell the family home and
is having a negative effect on the
affordability of village apartments
and units.
In addition, the Royal Commission
into Aged Care Quality and Safety,
while not specifically directed at
retirement village operators, is creating
negative sentiment towards the sector.
Over time both factors will ameliorate,
and RetireAustralia is focussing on
maintaining occupancy at its villages,
improving its offer of care services, and
progressing the development of units,
especially care-units, within its existing
villages. However, development of new
villages has slowed to reflect the market.
Development initiatives include:
• 70 new care apartments have been
commissioned at the Glengara
village on the Central Coast, NSW.
The first residents will be entering
the community later in 2019.
• Construction has started on the
40 unit stage one of the 177 unit,
The Verge, village adjacent to the
Burleigh Golf Club on the Gold Coast.
• Final planning approval has been
received for The Green in Tarragindi
Brisbane, but development of the
nearby Fancutts at Lutwyche has
been deferred.
• Planning and design of the Lane
Cove village in Sydney is progressing.
Positively, resale rates are improving.
Unit prices in some villages are above
valuation, while in other regions the soft
residential market has been reflected in
targeted discounts.
In addition to keeping its villages
occupied and progressing growth
initiatives, RetireAustralia is also
continuing to expand its offer of care
services. This is a long-term initiative
intended to improve the experience of
residents so that RetireAustralia’s villages
are an attractive place for ageing
people to live as their needs increase.
Two key senior management roles
were filled over the period with the
appointment of Dr Brett Robinson as
CEO and Paulene Henderson as CFO.
Dr Robinson’s professional career started
in surgery as an orthopedic registrar
and researcher before he moved into
health sector management.
Ms Henderson has a 25 year career in
finance including almost a decade as
CFO of a residential property company.
“RetireAustralia’s purpose is to provide
supportive, caring and fulfilling
communities for its residents. We
have a vision to allow our residents to
age in place through the provision of
high quality care, both through home
care services, and with dedicated
care facilities. The opening of our care
apartments at Glengara on the Central
Coast is a significant milestone in our
journey. RetireAustralia looks to offer our
residents a complete continuum of care,
so they can continue to enjoy life
in our communities, even as their needs
change.” – CEO Dr Brett Robinson

Other Investments
Infratil Infrastructure Property (IIP)
Construction of IIP’s 154 room Travelodge
Hotel in Auckland’s Wynyard Quarter
is progressing. The first stage of this
development should be open for use well
before the 2021 America’s Cup regatta.
In Wellington, IIP has arranged a
new location for the NZ Bus’ main base
of operations and construction will
commence when the necessary consents
have been received. Once this has
occurred, and NZ Bus has vacated the
existing 2.4 hectare Kilbirnie depot, IIP
will initiate its redevelopment or sale.
During the half year, Infratil advanced a
further $17.6 million to IIP to fund the
Wynyard construction, and this, along with
a $25.2 million increase in IIP’s properties
following Infratil’s sale of NZ Bus, gave a
30 September 2019 value of $73.3 million.
Clearvision Ventures Funds
During the period, Infratil provided
Clearvision with an additional
US$0.25 million. US$19.75 million of the
total US$25.0 million commitment has now
been advanced. The book value of the
investment as at 30 September 2019 was
NZ$28.3 million.
Clearvision made one new investment
over the period; the US ride sharing
company Zum which is targeting the youth
market by offering students a reliable safe
alternative to using an aging yellow bus to
get to and from school.
The Fund’s main other investments;
Orbital Insights, Autogrid, Climacell and
Chargepoint; continue to grow and
develop their businesses.
Australian Social Infrastructure
Partners (ASIP)
The sale of ASIP’s interest in Queensland
schools is expected later in FY2020, while
sale of the stake in the Royal Adelaide
Hospital will be progressed following
resolution of outstanding construction
and commissioning disputes.
The 30 September 2019 value of Infratil’s
interest in ASIP was $46.1 million, slightly
up on the 31 March figure.
Australian National University Student
Accommodation
On 21 May Infratil received A$162.1 million
proceeds from the sale of its 50% interest
in ANU student accommodation. In
addition, Infratil received a final distribution
of A$4.8 million.
This was a very successful investment.
Infratil provided an initial $85 million of
funding in FY2017 and then additional
funds as the ANU facilities were
developed and expanded.
Value was created through the excellent
relationship formed with the University
leadership and the ability of the
partnership to deliver additional student
accommodation and facilities to budget
and on time.
Snapper Services
Infratil’s ten year development of the
Snapper ticketing and payment system
ended with its sale for nominal
consideration on 31 May. This was not a
successful investment.
When Infratil set up Snapper it was
recognised that success required it to
be widely used. At that time, there were
about 100 million annual rides on all
New Zealand public transport and a
sophisticated payment tool such as
Snapper was only going to be viable if it
be used on most of them. In the event,
local and central government transport
agencies preferred to establish a
government owned competitor; which
doomed everyone to losses.
The Snapper team developed a number
of novel mobile payment and charging
tools which they were able to sell to
offshore transport agencies, but it wasn’t
enough to offset the local diseconomies
of scale.
Perth Energy
On 8 August Infratil sold its 80%
shareholding in Perth Energy to AGL
Energy for A$53.3 million. A further sum of
up to A$18.6 million may also be received
depending on the outcome at Perth
Energy from a material contract and the
tax treatment of penalty refunds which
Perth Energy may become entitled to.
Completion of the sale has also
released Infratil from its credit support of
Perth Energy, which as at 31 March 2019
amounted to A$64.7 million.
Infratil became a shareholder in Perth
Energy in 2007 through its Australian
Energy business and the shareholding
was retained when the rest of that
enterprise was sold in 2014. It was an
illustration of the problem of a small-scale
business operating in a complex market.
NZ Bus
On 2 September Infratil completed the
sale of NZ Bus for $93 million cash and a
$42 million loan. The final proceeds are
subject to an earnout mechanism and will
be between $125 million and $145 million.
The sale of NZ Bus was a disappointment.
When the company was acquired in 2005
it was hoped that regional transport
agencies in Wellington and Auckland
would recognise that by far the quickest
and lowest cost way to improve mobility in
those regions would involve a significant
expansion in bus public transport.
Unfortunately, public transport turned out
to be subject to a complex and conflict
riven regulatory and funding regime.
Ultimately the new contracting model that
was implemented transferred absolute
control and most of the risk to the regional
councils while prioritising cost minimisation
above everything else. There was an
unfortunate irony as billions of dollars were
allocated to “mass transit” while far lower
cost options such as better bus services
were relegated.
