FY2020 EBITDAF guidance revised to $490 million
FY2020 EBITDAF guidance revised to $490 million
20 April 2020 – Mercury announced today that it has revised its FY2020 EBITDAF guidance from $500 million to $490 million.
This reflects an expected 100 GWh decrease in full year hydro generation to 3,800 GWh due to continued dry weather
conditions in the Taupo catchment in H2-FY2020 and a preliminary assessment of COVID-19 impacts.
Mercury is focussed on the safety and wellbeing of our people while maintaining energy supply and services to our customers
and for New Zealand through this time of uncertainty. Mercury remains alert to possible financial impacts that may arise from
COVID-19 and continues to closely monitor key indicators including changes in customer consumption, debtor payments and
our ability to progress suspended works such as our Turitea Wind Farm development.
Guidance may change and remains subject to any material events, significant one-off expenses or other unforeseen
circumstances including changes to hydrological conditions.
