Genesis regularly flexed its portfolio of fuels and generation assets to ensure a solid result during a year of
exceptionally dry North Island conditions, multiple planned and unplanned market outages and the disruption
of COVID-19.
Genesis Energy (GNE) today announced that it delivered EBITDAF for the year of $356 million and Net Profit
(NPAT) of $46 million, with underlying earnings of $53 million. Genesis declared an increased final dividend of
8.675 cps, and a full year dividend increase to 17.20 cents per share.
“The second half of FY20 tested our portfolio flexibility through multiple gas and transmission outages,
exceptionally low North Island hydro catchment inflows and the COVID-19 lockdown. Despite those
uncontrollable events, Genesis people demonstrated great resilience and adapted quickly to support our
customers through difficult conditions,” said Genesis Energy CEO Marc England.
“Overall, hydro generation fell by 491 GWh versus the year prior. This meant Huntly Power Station’s back-up
generation was called upon more regularly to stabilise wholesale electricity prices for all market participants.”
On top of these volatile conditions was the national COVID-19 disruption, which affected industrial and
commercial electricity consumption, but was partially offset by an increase in consumption from residential
customers.
“Our retail business has continued its momentum from the first half, backed by increased uptake of our digital
products and promotions, such as Power Shout, which saw a record 141,000 customers participate in May.
Genesis now has 121,000 dual fuel customers, an increase of 3%. Our new customer care package, launched at
the end of 2019, was boosted by $250,000 to support our vulnerable customers facing hardship during the
COVID-19 lockdown.”
“Genesis’ uniquely diversified generation portfolio, flexible retail products and strong customer support
networks have demonstrated our value to all market participants. I am proud to say that our business strategy
has been thoroughly stress tested this year and has performed under the challenging conditions.

Due to the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 and changes to the segment reporting structure as outlined in the notes to the audited financial
statements, FY19 comparable financials have been restated in this presentation. As a result prior comparable period metrics may also
have changed.

Free Cash Flow is EBITDAF, less finance expense, cash taxes paid and stay in business capital expenditure.
“We are continuing our Future-gen strategy with a target to develop 2,650 GWh of new renewable generation
options that will enable us to transition our baseload thermal generation portfolio to renewables. We will
achieve the first 450 GWh of this, as Waipipi Wind Farm comes online in early 2021. Having already removed
1.8 million tonnes of CO2 from our portfolio in the last 10 years, Future-gen will enable us to further reduce our
carbon emissions by another 1 million tonnes in the next 5 to 10 years. The closure of the Tiwai smelter, if it
goes ahead, represents an exciting prospect to potentially accelerate our Future-gen strategy.”
Final dividend and a dividend reinvestment plan
The Genesis Board has declared a final dividend of 8.675 cents per share, which has a record date of 11
September 2020 and will be paid on 25 September 2020. Genesis is pleased to confirm the continuation of its
dividend reinvestment plan to provide shareholders a cost-effective way to reinvest in Genesis’ growth strategy.
Shareholders will have until 14 September 2020 to opt into the dividend reinvestment plan.
FY21 guidance
EBITDAF guidance for the full year ended 30 June 2021 is in a range of between $395 million to $415 million.
This is subject to hydrological conditions, any material events, one-off expenses or other unforeseen
circumstances. Genesis continues to target its strategic goal of $400+ million EBITDAF in FY21. Capital
expenditure guidance for FY21 is up to $95 million.

DOES NOT REMOVE THE NEED FOR ONGOING DRY YEAR SUPPORT
•Electricity supply is set to increase by ~6,000 GWh pa due to Tiwaiclosure and committed wind farms coming on line
•The supply increase will reduce the need for approximately half the current level of thermal generation in the market, includingthe likely closure
of Contact’s TCC, by ~3,200 GWh pa
•The remaining supply increase is expected to be absorbed by demand growth at ~1% pa and ongoing spill and losses from South Island suppliers
•Approximately 2,550 GWh pa of thermal support will be needed by the market on an ongoing basis, more in dry years

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Kia ora shareholders,
This year has been amongst the most
impactful in our history, forcing radical
changes to how we operate our
business.
2020 will be remembered as the year
of COVID-19, a once-in-a-generation
event. But it is also worth reflecting
on a financial year that started out
with intense and prolonged climate
change protest action across the
globe, the passing of the Zero Carbon
Act domestically and concluded with
the announced closure of Tiwai Point
aluminium smelter in Southland, which
will permanently realign the domestic
electricity market.
We are proud of how our teams
have stood up and performed under
pressure, supporting our customers
through trying times. This is testament
to our strong team culture. We are
confident in stating that our business
has been stress tested at every level
and we have come through well.
Chairman and Chief Executive’s
joint letter
Stress tested
As New Zealand’s largest energy
retailer to residential homes,
maintaining service to our customers
through the COVID-19 lockdown was
crucial. Our long-standing investments
in technology, innovation and flexible
working were invaluable. This enabled
our customer service teams to rapidly
adapt, maintaining high levels of
customer service while working safely
and remotely from their homes.
We also used the relationships built
through School-gen to partner with
Mind Lab to make online learning
content available to New Zealand
children throughout the COVID-19
lockdown.
Our generation and LPG operations
staff have been continuing their
essential work to ensure energy is
delivered to New Zealand homes and
businesses.
Our Tekapo upgrade works, which
ran from January to June, were able
to continue throughout the lockdown,
safely and efficiently. This phase was
completed with only minor delays
and utilised new technologies such as
HoloLens Augmented Reality helmets.
He tuhinga nā te Tiamana māua ko te Manahautū
CHAIR AND CEO JOINT LETTERCHAIR AND CEO JOINT LETTER
Strong retail performance
A strong retail performance has been
anchored by the development of our
digital capability, with 77 per cent of
customers engaging with our products
via our digital platforms. More than
150,000 customers took up our last
Power Shout, and 141,000 unique
users engaged with EnergyIQ in May
alone. We’re using the insights gained
from these interactions to iterate
and improve our products, to help us
innovate into a data-driven future and
Reimagine Energy for our customers.
Beyond our technological innovation,
we’re also partnering with Emirates
Team New Zealand ahead of the 2021
America’s Cup and we’ve leveraged our
40 per cent equity position in electric
car share company, Zilch, to support
our new Auckland office in Wynyard
Quarter. This will not only solidify our
own ‘electric’ first approach to our staff
transportation, but also provides a
low-carbon car share option to the local
business community.
Wholesale market volatility
The wholesale market has been
extremely volatile this year, and the
value provided by our diverse portfolio
of generation assets has been clear.
The North Island drought during the
second half of the year saw the second
lowest inflows in 95 years, with some
lakes dropping to as low as 20 per
cent of capacity. Kupe, Pohokura and
the HVDC Inter-Island link's planned
outages meant Genesis’ Rankine units
were vital in stabilising electricity
prices.
Towards the end of the year, all
swaptions were activated with our
partners, enabling Huntly Power Station
to support the other major generators
facing similar hydrology challenges, as
well as smaller retailers.
Proposed Tiwai Point closure
The proposed closure of Tiwai Point
Aluminium Smelter in August 2021
is disappointing news for the people
of Southland. This will equate to the
removal of approximately 13 per cent
of New Zealand’s national electricity
demand. As such, this marks a
fundamental shift in the New Zealand
electricity market’s supply/demand
balance. The announcement was
not unexpected and is a scenario we
have planned for. Genesis Energy's
fuel and generation flexibility will be
able to react well to the conditions as
they change. Most notably, it removes
a large uncertainty that has hung
over the sector for many years. This
presents an opportunity to accelerate
the electrification of industry and
transportation, something we have
been a strong advocate for.
Regulatory reform
We have responded to regulatory
changes, such as the opportunities
presented by the Electricity Pricing
Review in late 2019 to redesign our
residential products to better meet
our customers’ needs. These new
products better position our digital
capabilities and put control in our
customers' hands. Our EnergyIQ
platform continues to go from strength
to strength, and new features such
as EcoTracker have enabled our
customers to make better decisions
about their energy use and manage
their own carbon footprints.
The recent Zero Carbon Act and
changes to the emissions trading
scheme have been significant
movements in New Zealand’s response
to climate change, and you will see
throughout this report a range of
measures to increase transparency and
support our transition to a low-carbon
future.
Future-gen and
climate-related risk
Future-gen is Genesis’ strategy to
identify renewable opportunities
that enable the transition away from
baseload thermal generation. Thermal
will still fulfil an important function
in New Zealand’s electricity market,
filling the gaps when the rain doesn’t
fall or the wind doesn’t blow. We see
Huntly Power Station continuing this
backup role for the near future, which is
necessary for the New Zealand energy
sector’s resilience.
You can read more about this strategy
throughout this report. It has been
one of the reasons we have been quite
ambitious in reporting our climate
change-related targets this year.
There are a number of firsts here
Barbara Chapman CNZM
CHAIRMAN
Marc England
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
–
this will be the first time we’ve
re ported in line with the Task Force on
Climate Related Financial Disclosures’
re
commendations, which forms the
basis of this report.
It is also the first time as a publicly listed
company we will report our Scope 1, 2
a
nd 3 emissions in our Annual Report.
We will also be setting a Science Based
Target in FY21 which demonstrates
a
lignment between our low-carbon
transition with the co
mmitments of the
Paris agreement, and we have set
ourselves an ambitious target of
2
,650GWh of new renewables
generation development. Waipipi Wind
Farm will achieve the first 450GWh.
We
were also accredited as a Living
Wage employer earlier this year and
reported our gender pay gap for the
first time – important milestones that
further support our p
eople.
We firmly believe Genesis is going
to be a key enabler to New Zealand’s
decarbonisation jou
rney over the next
decade, maintaining a secure and
affordable electricity system for all New
Zealanders and backing up the
renewable system.
The underlying strength and flexibility
of Genesis’ business strategy, leadership
a
nd governance has been st rongly
validated this year. We are confident
that our strong and resilient business
culture positions Gen
esis well for the
future.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Genesis has strategically positioned
its business for a low emissions
economy. Developing innovative new
ways of reducing the Company’s
emissions, outside of its generation
activities, remains a key strategic
focus for the business.
Enabling greater energy efficiency
and managing peak demand is
a critical part of meeting New
Zealand's energy challenges, both
now and into the future.
Genesis works alongside its
customers to help them better
manage their energy use, control
their costs and lower their
environmental impact.
Genesis does this by enabling
greater consumer choice at the
household/retail level through its
multiple EnergyIQ propositions,
which can be read about on the
coming pages.
Key to all of this is providing
accessible information to our
customers that enables better
decision-making. Although
investments in energy efficiency
are already economically sound,
customers often defer them due to
competing priorities.
HomeGen, for example, supports
renewables at the household level by
increasing the price paid for energy
produced from Genesis customers’
rooftop solar panels.
Genesis believes providing the
appropriate incentives, for suppliers
and consumers, will lower the
information barrier and fast-track
meaningful action to reduce energy
consumption in the short term.
Kei ō tātou kiritaki te mana
Zilch Electric Car Share
Genesis acquired a
40 per cent ownership interest
in Zilch, New Zealand’s only
fully electric vehicle (EV) car-
sharing business.
As part of the design of the
new Auckland office, Genesis
will focus on encouraging low
emissions commuting by our
staff by using a combination of
our EV fleet and Zilch for work
trips during the day.
Our teams will also benefit
from staff discounts for Zilch
use outside work hours, and
the creation of Zilch parking
pods in Wynyard Quarter will
also enable the local business
community to lower their
carbon footprints.

Eco Tracker
Helping customers
make sustainable
consumption choices
Last year Genesis launched Eco
Tracker, a tool within its EnergyIQ
platform that allows Genesis
customers to view New Zealand’s
carbon emissions from electricity
generation in real time and plan their
energy usage accordingly.
Eco Tracker is designed to help
educate customers about how
electricity is generated, how it
comes through the grid to homes
and how it impacts customers'
carbon footprints. Combined with
EnergyIQ’s energy saving tips, the
goal is to provide customers with
clear suggestions about how to
change their usage habits and make
more sustainable choices.
Genesis Power Shouts are a gift
of free electricity to say thank you
to our customers for being with
Genesis.
Eligible Genesis customers can jump
into EnergyIQ and choose when
they want to activate their free hour
of power and plan ahead of time
when to perform energy intensive
tasks, such as running the dryer and
heaters.
Genesis decided to bring Power
Shout 8 forward by a month to
support customers during COVID-19
lockdown.
70% of customers engaging
with Eco Tracker have
expressed a willingness to
take an action, proof that
information is the best tool to
help kiwis lower their household
carbon emissions.
In May 2020 nearly 141,000
customers engaged with EnergyIQ
Genesis broke a number of its own
records:
• A record 16 hours of free power
offered to customers, in two
blocks of eight hours.
• A record 141,000 customers
redeeming their Power Shouts in
May – a 71 per cent redemption
rate (also a record).
• All up, Genesis gave away a
record 2.1 million hours or 240
years of free power.

Kenehi@Wynyard:
Genesis’ new sustainable home
In October Genesis will be moving
its Auckland office to 155 Fanshawe
Street, in Auckland’s innovation
hub, Wynyard Quarter. The name
Kenehi@Wynyard (K@W) was chosen
by staff.
The 6 Green Star-rated office
building is currently under
construction by Mansons TCLM. It
boasts world-class facilities, superior
transport options and new ways
to network and collaborate with
customers and business partners.
The office will align to Genesis’ wider
sustainability goals. K@W is being
built to the highest quality energy
efficiency standards: it recycles
rainwater, utilises solar power and
onsite battery storage and also
features state-of-the-art heating and
cooling systems.
Genesis will also take on the
role of site energy manager,
enabling Genesis to showcase its
solar management systems and
demonstrate its innovative digital
products and customer service
first-hand. It also enhances brand
proximity to sponsor partner
Emirates Team New Zealand ahead
of the America’s Cup in 2021.
To reduce Genesis’ carbon footprint,
it will feature on-site EV parking
spaces and chargers for its electric
vehicle fleet and end-of-trip facilities
to encourage teams to cycle and run
to work. No staff car parking will be
made available by design, lowering
Genesis' commute emissions,
but also reducing congestion and
encouraging the use of Auckland’s
public transport network.
Electric car sharing is an innovative
and cost-effective way for businesses
to reduce the emissions associated
with fleet management.
As part of the Company's Zilch
investment (see Page 7) EV car-
sharing will be a key part of the new
office’s transport infrastructure.
New 6 Green Star-rated office will focus on sustainable transport options
The central location presents a
great opportunity to weave car-
sharing transport options throughout
Genesis’ operations and push the
future of sustainable mobility.
INNOVATION
Genesis installs curved solar panels to
power Emirates Team New Zealand
In a first of its kind solar installation
for New Zealand, Genesis has fitted
curved solar panels to the unique
roof of the Emirates Team New
Zealand base. The solar installation
was a year in the making, from
planning, design, production, testing
and installation, on one of Auckland’s
most iconic buildings. These panels
will power Emirates Team New
Zealand through their defence of the
36th America’s Cup and supply the
building with energy for many years
to come.
Revolve Energy worked with Genesis
to explore the feasibility, design and
installation of the solar panels, as
well as monitoring and optimising
energy production. The panels
were designed not only to suit the
unique design of the building but to
withstand the waterfront’s strong
winds. Solar panels are typically rigid
and bolted to the roof but, due to the
curved shape of the roof, the project
used bonded flexible solar modules.
Genesis also provides electricity,
solar and energy monitoring to the
base, including tracking and sharing
how much energy the solar panels
are generating in real time and
bringing that data to life through a
dashboard. Both the team and public
can now see it displayed on the giant
digital screen outside the base, and
those not in Auckland will be able to
see it on the Genesis website.
Genesis thanks all the partners who
helped make this project a success,
especially the teams at Revolve
Energy, Reid Technology, SuperCity
Solar, Regional Facilities Auckland
and Panuku Development.

Safety and Wellness innovations
In FY20 Genesis built its new
Safety and Wellness Management
Framework, completely overhauling
its existing health and safety
management systems. The new
framework includes a new strategic
focus on mental health and
wellbeing, prioritisation of critical
risks, as well as improved quality and
transparency of safety reporting.
Genesis has continued to see the roll
out of new technologies to manage
workplace hazards, such as the
AutoSense fatigue and distraction
management system for our heavy
and light vehicle fleets. Over this
period Genesis has seen a 44 per
cent decline in contractor injuries,
which is a very pleasing result.
Underwater drone inspections at
Moawhango
Genesis also completed over
20 inspections using both aerial
and submersible drones, with
one notable inspection being the
assessment of the Moawhango Dam
Diversion Valve Intake, located 50
metres below the surface of Lake
Moawhango. The use of drone
technology has significantly reduced
the Company's critical risk exposure,
reduced the costs of inspection,
reduced outage time and improved
inspection data quality.
Tekapo Power Station
intake gate works
Genesis’ sole South Island generation asset, the
Tekapo Power Scheme, underwent substantial
upgrades and maintenance works, including
rebuilding its intake gate. This involved alternating
shutdowns of Tekapo A and Tekapo B power stations
across the January to June 2020 period. Genesis
was designated as an Essential Services provider
during the COVID-19 lockdown and worked closely
with government agencies to ensure this work was
uninterrupted, while also keeping our dedicated
engineers and contractors safe. The project
was completed with minimal delay due to the
exceptional efforts of these teams. These upgrades
will further enhance the efficiency and reliability of
this valuable generation asset.
The first major work took place at Tekapo in 1951, using very different 'dive' technologies
and safety standards.
INNOVATION

Genesis' Predictive
Analytics Platform
Genesis’ Predictive Analytics
Platform (GPAP) utilises
machine learning algorithms
to examine historical and
current data from thousands
of sensors on the power
generation sites to predict
when the health of an asset
is deteriorating and at risk
of failure. This provides
valuable early warning and
intervention on emerging
issues with the aim of
reducing plant down time and
repair costs.
Built completely on open
source software developed
inhouse, the project has
now been live for a year. In
that time Genesis has more
than 900 predictive models
running on the platform,
covering approximately 80
per cent of its key generation
assets. Already GPAP has
identified more than 40 asset
health issues that would
not have been picked up as
quickly using traditional,
manual asset monitoring
techniques.
This industry-leading
programme provides greater
certainty to engineers and
asset management planners
on the ground, but also
reinforces Genesis’ vital
role in providing security
of supply to the entire New
Zealand electricity market.
‘Virtual maintenance’ via Augmented Reality
Microsoft’s HoloLens is an
augmented reality headset that
allows Genesis staff to engage
teams remotely, by virtually
overlaying blueprints, drawings and
instructions over an operator's field
of vision. Engineers can interact
from thousands of kilometres away
via a laptop – drawing lines, circling
or pointing arrows at power station
components in the operator's field
of view while they’re talking – while
also keeping the worker's hands free.
Genesis moved HoloLens out of
its testing phase in FY20, and its
implementation was accelerated
by COVID-19. Specialists in the
Hamilton office were able to engage
with remote workers at Tekapo,
assisting in their maintenance and
inspections while travel was banned
during lockdown.
It also allowed engineers at Huntly
Power Station to successfully
perform a re-certification of vacuum
sealers via overseas inspectors
20,000kms away in the UK, in
real time. This also would not
have been able to be completed
under COVID-19 Level 4 due to
international travel restrictions.
Genesis is now using HoloLens as
a part of its training programmes,
recording veterans performing tasks
on legacy technology to train the
next generation of engineers.

The Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was
created in 2015 to develop a set
of voluntary recommendations for
companies and investors to report
the risks faced to their organisations
by climate change.
It was formed by the Financial
Stability Board (FSB) as a means
of coordinating disclosures among
companies impacted by climate
change all over the world. A key
goal of the TCFD is to encourage
sustainable investments and build
an economy which is resilient in the
face of climate-related uncertainties.
The TCFD consists of 31 members
selected by the FSB. Members are
made up of both users and preparers
of disclosures and represents
members of the G20 across
numerous sectors and industries.
The TCFD’s recommendations are
widely regarded as best practice for
climate-related financial disclosures.

Genesis has a comprehensive risk
identification and assessment
process, further detail of which is
provided in the risk management
disclosures on page 24. These
processes result in a comprehensive
register of risks that are actively
managed.
Physical climate impacts can be
'acute' arising from extreme weather
events (such as floods or droughts)
or 'chronic' arising from the longer-
term shifts in climate patterns
(i.e. increasing temperatures and
changes to hydro lake inflows).
These changes may result in financial
risks or opportunities due to the
direct and indirect impacts they can
Climate change risks
have on business operations, assets,
markets or supply chains.
Transitional climate impacts refer
to risks and opportunities resulting
from the policy, legal, technology
and market changes occurring in the
transition to a low-carbon economy.
Depending on the nature, speed and
focus of these changes, transition
impacts may pose varying levels of
financial and reputational risk or
opportunity.
Opportunities arising
Many of the transitional risks
represent an evolution or change in
the market. Some are an expected
transition and some are less
predictable, such as the speed of
technology advancement. In all
cases these changes also reflect
opportunities that Genesis is well
positioned to capitalise on.
An overview of Genesis’ highest
rated climate-related risks and
opportunities are included below.
Each category has been assessed
according to the most relevant

b) Describe the impact of
climate-related risks
and opportunities on the
organisation’s businesses,
strategy, and financial
planning.
All climate-related risks and
opportunities affect the Company’s
short-medium term strategy and
financial planning. These strike
a balance between several key
objectives, and are underpinned
by extensive scenario mapping,
including those that span different
carbon transition pathways.
Genesis recognises the impact
climate change is already having and
supports meaningful, economy-wide
planning to reduce emissions and
transition New Zealand to a low-
carbon future.
Genesis, along with the wider
electricity sector, must play a critical
role in driving decarbonisation

gas and renewable energy, February 2020.
through electrifying the more
carbon-intensive parts of the
economy, in particular industrial
processes and transport. With one
of the most renewable electricity
systems in the OECD, New Zealand
has an opportunity to lead the
world in electrification. However,
this transition is subject to its own
climate-related risks. For example,
poor regulatory or policy settings
could have the opposite effect and
disincentivise electrification through
a higher-cost and less reliable
electricity system.
Genesis has a plan to transition its
thermal generation assets away
from baseload, while still providing
backup options for renewable
generation. The economics of
renewable baseload electricity
generation have now reached
the tipping point where it is cost-
effective to build geothermal, wind
and solar. Consumers have also
stated that they want secure and
low-cost electricity¹. Currently, there
are limited commercially feasible
zero-carbon options to manage the
seasonal challenges in New Zealand.
The wholesale electricity market
will become increasingly tested as
the country becomes more reliant
on renewable generation, which
is subject to seasonal and intra-
day weather conditions that could
intensify with climate change.
This does not take away from the fact
that as New Zealand’s largest thermal
electricity generator, Genesis is very
aware of the role it plays – and the
responsibility it has – in supporting
New Zealand’s transition to a low-
carbon future.
TCFD requirement
Building a renewable future
Transitioning thermal baseload
to a backup role is necessary as
the electricity sector as a whole
decarbonises and in order for
New Zealand to reach its
carbon obligations.
Careful consideration is required
to ensure the 'energy trilemma'
elements of sustainability, reliability
and affordability are balanced to the
maximum benefit of consumers and
the economy.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Seasonal and dry year storage challenges
The increasing proportion of
electricity from renewable
generation will not solve New
Zealand’s fundamental challenge
of seasonal storage. New Zealand
currently requires about 7,000 GWh
of deep energy storage to deal with
the seasonal shifts in demand – in
which 2,000 GWh more energy is
needed in winter than summer. In
dry years inflows can be as much as
5,000 GWh or more below average.
This effect may be exacerbated by
climate change over time.
Existing hydro lakes provide about
4,000 GWh of that storage, leaving
a 3,000 GWh gap. For scale, 3,000
GWh is about five times what
Lake Taupō currently stores for
generation⁴ or 140 Tesla Powerwall
batteries for every household in
New Zealand. The Tesla option
would cost in the order of $2 million
per dwelling. That storage gap is
currently met by thermal electricity
generation, particularly at Huntly
Power Station.
New Zealand has 60 per cent of
electricity generated from hydro-
power stations, yet only six weeks
of hydro storage at any given time
(this assumes ideal hydrological
conditions and full lake storage).

As an island, New Zealand does not

additional risks from the North
Island/South Island split and how

Island link.
Thermal electricity generation

the crucial backup support that has
allowed New Zealand to enjoy such

electricity prices low enough
to encourage other sectors to
decarbonise through electrification.
In addition, the wholesale
electricity market will become more
volatile as New Zealand further
increases electricity generation
from renewable sources, given
the intermittent nature of wind
generation in particular and as the
cost of owning the remaining thermal
plant that runs less and less becomes
unsustainable. These risks are all
exacerbated by long-term effects of
climate change.
c) Describe the resilience of
the organisation’s strategy,
taking into consideration
different climate-related
scenarios, including a 2°C
or lower scenario.
• Genesis stress tests its strategy
against a number of scenarios,
these include (but are not limited
to) three scenarios specifically
modelled to align to climate-related
risks. These scenarios contribute
towards a comprehensive climate-
related risk assessment.
• The first two scenarios involve
global efforts to heavily reduce
emissions and limit global
temperature increase to below 2°C
(ideally 1.5 °C). These two scenarios
differ in their methods needed to
reach this target. The first scenario
is driven primarily by stringent
government legislation. The second
is energy sector transformation
via the private sector, such as
innovative technological advances
and change in consumer choices.
Both potentially succeed in being
the main driving force in keeping
climate change within the 2°C goal
of the Paris Agreement.
• The third scenario defined, is where
greenhouse gas concentrations
continue unabated (the IPCC's
Representative Concentration
Pathway (RCP) 8.5) and includes
greater climate change and
associated physical impacts.
• These scenarios were selected to
provide integrated scenarios with
a mix of factors but also allowed
a stress test against extremes
from both a transitional and
physical perspective. Specifics of
the scenarios were created from
published climate-risk related
models, including work published
by NIWA and the Ministry for the
Environment for physical risks.
This is supported by long-term
scenarios mapping the supply
and demand balance in the New
Zealand electricity system from
internal subject matter experts.
• The scenarios used to test company
strategy have differing timescales
applied. For the three climate-
specific scenarios, the timeframes
applied are:
»Short Term: one to 10 years
»Medium Term: 10 to 20 years
»Long Term: 20+ years
TCFD requirement
• In all scenarios modelled Genesis'
strategy proved resilient. A key
aspect is that with many risks, a
corresponding opportunity is also
created. Genesis' strategy seeks
to identify these opportunities,
while also providing a level of
risk mitigation where executed
successfully.
• An example would be the entrance
of new types of renewables into
the market. While this is needed
to reduce the reliance on thermal
generation, and potentially diversify
away from hydro-dominated
renewables, this also creates a
financial risk of displacement for
Genesis' thermal assets. However,
this also places the Company in a
strong position to make informed
and structured investment in
renewables in the
long term.

Goal:
Reduce generation
emissions by one
million tonnes
• In the past 10 years (2009-2019) Genesis has removed more than 1.8 million
tonnes of CO2 from its generation activity (a reduction of 42 per cent).
• Genesis aims to reduce its net carbon emissions by one million tonnes over the
next ten years.
• As part of the Science-based Targets Initiative, Genesis has committed to set a
Science-based Target covering generation emissions by the end of FY21.
• Genesis has committed to cease coal use at Huntly Power Station by 2025
under normal market conditions, and its intention is to phase out coal use
completely by 2030.
• Genesis has reduced coal use by 72 per cent since the 2006 peak (2006:
54.8PJ, 2019: 15.2PJ).
Goal:
Identify 2,650GWh of
renewable opportunities
to transition away
from baseload thermal
generation
• Genesis' Future-gen Strategy presents a pathway to economically displace
baseload thermal generation with renewable alternatives, with a long-term
goal of an additional 2,650GWh of incremental renewables development.
• Genesis has partnered with Tilt Renewables to buy the entire output of Waipipi
Wind Farm (133MW, 450GWh per annum) for 20 years. This will enable a
reduction of 250,000 tonnes of carbon per annum.
• Genesis is currently evaluating a number of additional geothermal, solar and
wind generation opportunities to reduce its carbon footprint.
Future-gen
More
renewables
Future-gen can be broken down into three key focus areas:
Genesis will actively seek
new technologies that
could contribute to a more
renewable future. Genesis
supports Government
initiatives exploring advances
in energy, such as hydrogen.
We are also driving efficiencies
across our generation fleet.
As transport and industrial
heating sectors look to electrify
in the coming years, wind, solar
and geothermal projects will
meet the increased demand
with affordable, renewable
generation.
Manage the
transition
Genesis is working to mitigate
our existing emissions
through partnerships such as
Drylandcarbon, a partnership
between Genesis, Contact
Energy, Z Energy and Air New
Zealand. This partnership will
establish forests that will help
offset carbon emissions from
the partner companies.
New
technologies
Genesis’ Future-gen strategy
identifies renewable opportunities
to transition away from baseload
thermal generation, while seeking to
ensure that reliable and affordable
electricity continues to enable
electrification.
Genesis’ partnership with Tilt
Renewables for the $277 million,
133MW Waipipi Wind Farm, is
currently under construction
and scheduled to be operational
in the second half of FY21. This
demonstrates the Company’s
ongoing commitment to proactively
displace its baseload thermal
generation with new renewable
generation.
Genesis will buy Waipipi’s entire
output of zero emissions, renewable
electricity, and it is anticipated that
this will displace about 20 per cent
of the Company’s baseload thermal
generation.
The Company is also considering
other renewable opportunities,
including new solar, wind and
geothermal generation projects.
The announcement of the closure
of the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter
in Southland is an opportunity for New
Zealand to accelerate the electrification
of industrial processes. It also removes
a layer of market uncertainty and allows
for clearer long-term planning.
This surplus of renewable energy will
accelerate our Future-gen strategy,
which in the long term will lead to
thermal generation displacement. This
also falls in line with our 2030 coal
commitments (see 'Metrics and Targets'
on page 20).

new products that
help customers make
sustainable choices
by 2020
• Genesis’ customer engagement app, EnergyIQ, allows users to forecast their energy usage
over seven days (based upon machine learning algorithms) so they can adjust their energy
use accordingly.
• EnergyIQ provides ‘Energy Saving Tips’ and home comparison functionality: snippets of
advice that help users be more energy efficient in their homes, reducing their power bills
and their carbon footprints.
• Genesis launched a new feature in EnergyIQ – EcoTracker, which allows users to view New
Zealand’s electricity generation emissions in real time. This enables customers to make
decisions on when best to perform energy intensive tasks, such as running dryers and
dishwashers. As of May it had 55,000 unique users.
• Genesis will announce new tools in FY21 to ensure suppliers that work with Genesis are
committed to operating in sustainable ways.
Goal:
To support a more
sustainable
New Zealand, we
need to inspire the
energy innovators of
tomorrow
• Genesis will also encourage low-carbon public transport use as part of its new Auckland
office in Wynyard (no staff car parking will be available), a building which has also been
designed to the highest green/sustainability standards, including its own solar power
management and battery system run by Genesis.
• Genesis has invested 40 per cent into Zilch EV car share to encourage zero emissions
electric car sharing. As part of the new Auckland office (see page 10), Zilch will be made
available to all businesses in the Wynyard Quarter. This encourages Genesis staff and
other companies in the area to make use of zero emissions transport options and leave
their fossil fuel-powered vehicles at home.
• Genesis also helps manage Emirates Team New Zealand's America’s Cup base as official
energy partner, building and managing its roof-based solar panels and battery system.
This is the first install of curved solar panels in New Zealand (see page 9).
• Genesis has a partnership with Air New Zealand, Contact Energy and Z Energy called
Drylandcarbon, to plant forests on marginal land to help offset carbon emissions. The
fund as a whole is forecast to sequester nearly 30 million tonnes of carbon by 2050. This
is Genesis’ first direct investment to meet its ETS carbon obligations. The Company is
continually evaluating new opportunities to engage the carbon market.
Goal:
Caring for water
and wildlife
• Working in partnership with iwi on projects that positively influence waterways and their
ecosystems.
• Engaging with Genesis customers to raise awareness of Whio and the importance of all
New Zealanders playing a role in predator control efforts. Whio breeding pairs have risen
by 151 per cent since the beginning of the partnership in 2011.
• Genesis and its partners oversaw the installation of the Whakapapa Intake passive elver
pass for winter 2020. So far, the 2020 tuna/eel season was the third best year since our
records began, with 2,167 elvers transferred upstream (see page 26 for more detail).
• Genesis is a member of the Climate Group’s EV100 commitment to transition its car
fleet to 100 per cent electric vehicles. The goal is to transition 100 per cent of passenger
vehicles to EV/hybrid by the end of FY21 and 50 per cent of commercial vehicles by 2025:
»Light vehicles: Genesis had originally committed to achieving this by the end of
2020 but this target will not be reached due to the lack of EV/hybrid ute options
in New Zealand. The Company currently has 42 EV/hybrids in its light fleet (18
Full EV and 24 Hybrid), yet still needs to transition eight light passenger vehicles
and aims to do this by the end of calendar year 2020.
»Heavy vehicles: Genesis currently has four hybrid LPG trucks and a further
three available shortly. Genesis will begin testing full EV trucks in 2021.
Goal:
Transition the

Goal:
Report Scope 1, 2
and 3 emissions
• This is the first time as a publicly listed company that Genesis has reported its Scope 1,
2 and 3 emissions in the Annual Report. To ensure data accuracy, limited assurance has
been provided by EY (see page 93).
• Genesis also breaks out Scope 1 emissions into those attributable to supply contracts
(swaptions) with our generation partners, further enhancing transparency about the
carbon footprint of the New Zealand electricity market.

Acute
Physical Risks
The process of managing acute
(‘event-driven’) physical climate-
related risks aligns to other similar
event-driven risk. For example,
extreme weather events present a
physical risk of catastrophic failure
of infrastructure and generation
assets, similar to seismic or volcanic
risks.
Management is primarily through
mitigation. Although financial risks
are transferred through insurance,
the primary focus is ensuring the
highest level of safety. Assets are
proactively managed to ensure the
continued resilience of these assets
in the face of potential events, such
as the Tekapo intake gate works (see
page 12).
Genesis constantly assesses and
reviews these assets and their
management plans, leveraging
engineering best practice and
evaluating new technologies to
identify any opportunities to improve
their resilience.
Chronic
Physical Risks
A small number of ‘chronic’ risks
(gradual long-term shifts), such
as sea level rise, align to ‘acute’
event-driven risks, with the only key
difference being that this will be
gradual rather than sudden.
Many risks associated with long-term
shifts in climate patterns align to pre-
existing risk management processes.
Weather patterns, such as El Niño
and La Niña, produce high seasonal
variation and impact the seasonal
shortfalls in electricity generation.
Additionally, changed rainfall
patterns and water inflows affect
hydro generation, changes in
winds impact wind turbines and
sunlight patterns impact solar farms'
efficiencies. A number of these risks
therefore underpin the Company’s
overarching generation strategy.
These could potentially all be
exacerbated by future climate
change effects and need to be
managed accordingly.
Transition
Risks
The nature of Transition risks aligns
to other ‘strategic risks’ and as such
climate-related transition risks are
managed through existing strategic
risk management processes.
Genesis proactively manages these
risks as part of its long-term strategy.
This management includes regular
monitoring against key risk
indicators, designed to proactively
identify associated risks.
This macro-level monitoring best
positions Genesis to detect, prepare
and adapt to shifts in the wider
business landscape (such as the
introduction of a standardised
emissions trading platform, or a ban
on coal mining) while also ensuring
potential opportunities are fully
considered.

Genesis accredited as
Living Wage Employer
Genesis has been accredited as a Living Wage Employer,
the first electricity generator in New Zealand to do so.
What is the criteria for achieving Accredited Living
Wage Employer status?
• All directly employed workers are on the current
Living Wage prior to accreditation.
• All indirectly paid workers employed by
contractors, delivering a service to the business/
organisation on a regular and ongoing basis, are
either on the current Living Wage or on milestones
agreed as part of the license.
• Employers have provided workers with access to a
union.
• Employees’ terms and conditions have not been
reduced in order to meet the current Living Wage
rate. An example of this may be the reduction of
hours or other benefits in order to pay for the cost
of delivering the Living Wage.
“Genesis Energy was our first major
customer to initiate a move to the
Living Wage. We were subsequently
awarded a significant new contract
with an international firm who saw
value in this move by Matrix Security
with Genesis Energy, and who
then also incorporated the Living
Wage standard across their service
agreement.”
Scott Carter,
CEO,
Matrix Security
The Living Wage is calculated
independently each year by the
New Zealand Family Centre. It is
the hourly rate a worker needs to
pay for life’s necessities and actively
participate in the community. It
reflects the basic expenses of
workers and their families, such as
food, transportation, housing and
childcare.
Achieving Living Wage accreditation
has been an important goal for
Genesis, aimed at contributing
to stronger communities and
enhancing the wellbeing of our
people. Genesis already pays its
full-time employees well above the
current Living Wage, which is set at
$21.15 per hour. Through the Living
Wage accreditation programme
Genesis is working with several of
its contractors to ensure those that
provide regular and ongoing services
to us will also pay their employees no
less than the Living Wage.
As part of the Pou Limited
agreement, all staff and Pou Limited
contractors receive at least the Living
Wage working at Huntly Power
Station.
Another of Genesis' key contractors,
Matrix Security, now also pays their
staff the Living Wage, which has
PEOPLE, COMMUNITY AND PARTNERSHIPS
In recognition of the enduring
partnership between Waahi Paa,
Te Kauri, Kaitumutumu, Te Ohaaki,
Taupiri, Matahuru Marae, Waahi
Whaanui Trust, the Matawhaanui
Board (as a representative of the
collective marae) and Genesis,
discussions were entered into and led
to the establishment of POU Limited,
a company focused on providing
quality facilities management services
through the employment of the local
people. This activates social benefit
in a meaningful way in support of the
community of Raahui Pookeka (Huntly).
The kupu (word) POU literally means
‘a stake’. Its meaning draws from the
name Raahui Pookeka (Huntly) and
ngaa taonga (the carvings) surrounding
the Huntly Power Station site (Te
Whare Hiko).
Raahui Pookeka as the original name
of Huntly (1869) was bestowed
during times of famine and inter-
tribal disputes. Waikato chief, Te
Putu, intervened and placed a 'raahui'
(restriction) on the eel food source,
with a 'pookeka' (stake) used as an
indicator of when the 'raahui' would be
lifted.
Ngaa taonga surrounding Te Whare
Hiko (Huntly Power Station), unveiled
in 1990 and 1998 respectively,
symbolises unity with the community
and story of the people of Raahui
Pookeka and Waikato-Tainui.
The POU name was given by Huirama
Matatahi, a board member of
Matawhaanui and Chair of Waahi
Whaanui Trust and Waahi Marae. His
gift draws on the legacy of Queen Te
Ataiirangikaahu and her vision of unity
with Te Whare Hiko (the Huntly Power
Station).
This work includes grounds
maintenance, cleaning and general
labour supply, with a clear mandate
to partner together on additional
employment opportunities and
workstreams as the relationship grows
and matures.
POU Limited: A new way of
partnering with iwi
In November 2019 Genesis announced the establishment of, and partnership with, a marae-
owned entity called POU Limited, to undertake contracted facilities maintenance activities at
Huntly Power Station.
Key aspirations were defined as:
• Acknowledging the history of
Raahui Pookeka (Huntly), the
legacy of its people and respect of
the leadership across the township
and the wider community.
• Developing a model that displayed
a long-term commitment to
leadership, partnership, that
is sustainable over time while
ensuring ongoing collaboration
across the community.
• Developing meaningful career
pathways for the people of Raahui
Pookeka (Huntly) and employing
locally as a priority.
• Supporting the building of
resilience in the local community.
• POU to develop and grow to
serve other companies and
organisations.
PEOPLE, COMMUNITY AND PARTNERSHIPS
• Partnering and operating as 'one
entity' onsite at Huntly Power
Station, based on principles
of unity of purpose, shared
aspirations and respect.
Genesis was formally accredited as a
Living Wage supplier on 1 April 2020.
All staff were being paid the Living
Wage from November 2019.
Genesis and POU Limited have
also worked together to develop a
programme of cultural induction for
all on-site staff in recognition of the
cultural significance of the area in
which we operate and out of respect
for the land and its peoples.
For Genesis, we seek that our

the Sustainability Trust (supporting
493 Wellington families) and
Christchurch's Community Energy
Action Trust (600 households).
Genesis also supports Duffy Books
in Homes, providing books to Huntly
Primary School (616) and Huntly
West School (393).
In late 2019 Genesis introduced
new care packages to support
vulnerable customers and those
suffering hardship. These were put
to the test early under COVID-19.
Within 24 hours of Level 4 being
declared, Genesis had its contact
centres teams up and running at full
capacity from home, fielding calls
from customers facing financial
uncertainty and supporting them
wherever possible.
Genesis created a dedicated service
channel for vulnerable customers
to offer tailored payment plans so
customers' debt doesn’t get out
of control. Genesis also pledged a
$250,000 care package, working
with partners to raise awareness
of the support available through
government and budgeting advisory
services. This helps keep customers'
lights on, and their homes warm.
The vulnerable care programme
has been a big success and the
lessons learned will strengthen

Pay Equity Gap
The Pay Equity Gap measures
whether males and females at
Genesis are paid the same for
performing 'equal value' work.
The Company uses the Hay
Job Evaluation methodology to
standardise its approach to job sizing
and reward. It then audits pay every
six months to look for any gaps by
grouping the data and analysing it.
It’s important this is done regularly as
people join the organisation all year
round.
In 2020 Genesis now measures
equal value of work using total pay
so we can include potential earnings
between males and females. The first
measure of this median gap is 1.9 per
cent, which is analysed thoroughly
to ensure there are no unexplainable
reasons for the difference when
including total pay elements, such as
bonuses or car allowances.

measures the progress being made
in advancing females into senior
leadership roles by calculating
leadership balances. We count the
number of males and females in the
most senior positions; 50 per cent of
people in these most senior positions
are female.
Supporting females to progress and
advance at Genesis is an important
focus. Recent talent programmes
have accelerated senior females
into new and larger roles for their
continued careers. Enhanced
parental leave rights, exercised by

Total Gender Gap
The Total Gender Gap is a measure
of the median pay between males
and females regardless of the nature
of work across the Company. For
Genesis the Total Gender Gap,
as measured by the difference in
median pay between all males and
females, is 37.2 per cent.
This Total Gender Gap is not due to
any inequity in pay. It is driven by a
greater proportion of men in roles
such as engineering, technology and
LPG delivery and a larger number
of women who work in customer
service and administration roles.
"Understanding what really
drives the Gender Gap
is the first step towards
developing actions to
address it, which will
ultimately create more
equitable opportunities for
women and men."

women. This means when looking at
the average pay of males and females
across the organisation, Genesis has
a Total Gender Gap of 37.2 per cent.
While this is representative of the
industry, Genesis is continuing its
focus on reducing this imbalance.
The aim is to look for ways Genesis
can improve its ability to attract,
develop and retain females in
STEM roles where there is a high
imbalance. This ensures we go
beyond assuring our people are paid
fairly for their valuable contributions
to Genesis’ success, to working
with our people to create more
opportunities for both genders in a
range of career types.
Having a diverse workforce is
key to high performance here
at Genesis. It is vital to bringing
fresh perspectives to decision-
making and developing the
innovative solutions our
customers demand.
Genesis is passionate about creating
a diverse, inclusive and empowering
place to work where everyone
can be themselves, where trust
and transparency helps us all to
continuously learn, grow and adapt
for whatever the future brings.
In February 2020 Genesis published
its first Gender Gap Statement.
There are three factors that make up
the statement - the Pay Equity Gap,
Leadership Progression Gap and the
Total Gender Gap.
Genesis has reduced inequity of base
pay for males and females doing
‘equal value’ work from 1.6 per cent
to 1.4 per cent in FY20.
In November 2019 Genesis
received the YWCA’s GenderTick
accreditation, further demonstrating
Genesis’ commitment to gender
equality in the workplace.
The Company commits to a 40:40:20
gender split (40 per cent male, 40
per cent female, 20 per cent either
gender) across the entire workforce.
Already, this strategic focus has seen
Genesis achieve 50 per cent female
representation at senior leadership
level.
However, a large proportion of
STEM roles (science, technology,

are held by men. This is particularly
evident in engineering roles.

Closing the Total Gender Gap will take time and require a concerted effort across a number of sectors.
Genesis is doing a range of things to better attract, develop and retain females as part of its Diversity
and Inclusion plans which will, over time, reduce the Total Gender Gap.
What Genesis is doing
to close the Gender Gap
Pay Equity GapGenesis measures and closely monitors gender pay information and focuses on inclusion in its
recruiting practices.
• Since 2017 Genesis has reported its gender pay information as part of its diversity, inclusion
and talent updates to Genesis’ Human Resources and Remuneration Committee throughout
the year.
• In 2018 Genesis changed its recruitment practices, eliminating questions that ask for previous
salary information, and began to review all advertisements to ensure inclusive language was
followed.
• The Genesis recruitment team are skilled at challenging and coaching hiring managers when
they notice unconscious bias may be influencing recruitment decisions.
Leadership
Progression
Gap
Genesis is building an inclusive environment for everyone to succeed and for females to advance.
• Genesis drives development of senior female leaders by providing access to external learning
programmes and internal mobility options.
• In July 2018 Genesis updated its parental leave policy to better support new parents
regardless of gender. Genesis tops up paid parental leave for primary caregivers for 12 weeks,
has a four-week ease-back-to-work period of full pay/reduced hours and provides two weeks
paid partner leave.
• Genesis' flexible working and flexible leave policies were updated in 2018 to ensure everyone
had access to the support and options they need to balance work with their non-work
commitments.
• Managers who hire senior leaders have to work with gender-balanced shortlists.
To t a l
Gender Gap
Genesis is inspiring more girls to take up STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths)
subjects at school and looking at ways to be more female-friendly in its operational areas.
• The Genesis School-gen programme is aimed at encouraging the uptake of STEM subjects in
schools and getting STEM equipment into the hands of young New Zealanders.
• The Women in Operations network enables more than 50 females in Genesis' operational
areas to come together and expand their personal development by providing access to cross-
functional mentoring, role models and practical learning.
Executive commitments
Having a diverse workforce is key to
high performance here at Genesis.
The Genesis Executive team will
continue to report its Gender Pay
Gap information in both the Interim
and Annual Reports. It strives to
identify pathways for women to
transition into STEM careers and
support women at Genesis in their
development.
Each leader will seek opportunities
to promote and support women in
their business units, ensuring they
are applying an inclusive lens to
activities under way. Genesis will also
identify and take opportunities to
talk in schools and universities about
STEM careers.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the consolidated financial statements
For the year ended 30 June 2020
General information
These consolidated financial statements comprise Genesis Energy
Limited ('Genesis'), its subsidiaries, controlled entities and the
Group's interests in associates and joint operations (together, the
'Group'). Refer to section D for more information on the Group
structure.
Genesis is registered under the Companies Act 1993. It is a mixed
ownership model company, majority owned by the 'Crown', bound
by the requirements of the Public Finance Act 1989. Genesis
is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the
Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and has bonds listed on the
NZX debt market. Genesis is an FMC reporting entity under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The core business of the Group and activities carried out by each
segment is disclosed in note A2.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared:
• In accordance with New Zealand generally accepted
accounting practice ('GAAP') and comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and New Zealand
equivalents ('NZ IFRS'), as appropriate for profit-oriented
entities;
• In accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013,
the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Companies Act 1993;
• Using the historical-cost convention, modified by the
revaluation of derivatives, emission units held for trading and
generation assets;
• In New Zealand dollars rounded to the nearest 100,000;
• On a Goods and Services Tax (‘GST’) exclusive basis with the
exception of receivables and payables, which include GST
where GST has been invoiced;
• Using the accounting policies set out in the notes to the
financial statements. The impact of adopting new and revised
accounting standards, interpretations and amendments is
disclosed below.
Estimates and judgements
In the process of preparing the financial statements Management
makes a number of estimates and judgements based on historical
experience and various other factors that are reasonable under
the circumstances. The table below lists the key estimates and
judgements:
Key estimates and judgementsNotePage

is an adjusting event - refer right
Fair value of generation assetsB153
Depletion of oil and gas producing assetsB255
Valuation of rehabilitation and restoration
provisions
C459
Valuation of electricity derivativesF871
Estimates are also used in determining other items such as
the expected credit loss provision (note C1), the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and software (note B2 and B3), and
whether assets with indefinite useful lives are impaired (note B3).
Judgements are further used in determining whether an event
gives rise to a provision or a contingent liability (note G4).
New Zealand Aluminium Smelters' announcement to close Tiwai
Point Smelter
On 9 July 2020 New Zealand Aluminium Smelters (NZAS)
announced its intention to close the Tiwai Point smelter by August
2021. As a result it has given notice to Meridian to terminate
its electricity supply agreement. Tiwai Point’s electricity usage
represents 13 per cent of total electricity demand in New Zealand
and is likely to impact electricity prices and generation volumes.
The impact of the closure on the Group's assets and liabilities is
dependent on a number of interrelated factors including:
• The timing of Tiwai Point's exit and how the operations will be
wound down;
• Approval and timing of transmission upgrades required to
move the surplus electricity north and how the cost of these
upgrades will be recovered;
• Level of demand from new and existing industrial plant and
electrification projects;
• Potential retirement of any existing generation assets;
• Postponement of the development of proposed generation
assets – what proposals are unlikely to go ahead and what
proposals will be delayed and for how long;
• Management of seasonal variations in hydrology, wind and
demand in the upper North Island and what combination of
generation assets will provide this service in the future;
• Demand and pricing of electricity hedging contracts; and
• Demand for and pricing of gas.
Changes in these interrelated factors will impact the wholesale
electricity price path and generation volumes, which are key
estimates used to calculate the fair value of generation assets and
electricity derivatives (refer to note B1 and F8). Greater clarity
and more information on these factors is required before Genesis
can estimate the financial effect these factors will have on the
carrying value of generation assets and electricity derivatives.
The sensitivity information disclosed in note B1 and F8 provides
the estimated impact of a 10 per cent increase/decrease in the
wholesale price path and generation volumes.
The announcement on 9 July 2020 is considered to be a
non-adjusting subsequent event on the basis that the formal
announcement to close Tiwai Point was a condition that
arose after 30 June 2020, Genesis did not have any direct
communications with NZAS or Rio Tinto in relation to this matter
and Genesis was not aware of NZAS' decision to close Tiwai
Point prior to the announcement. While NZAS had announced
prior to 30 June 2020 that it was undertaking a strategic review
of operations, closure was only one of many options available.
The formal announcement on 9 July 2020 of NZAS' intention to
close Tiwai Point is considered the key condition in relation to this
matter and therefore is not considered to clarify a condition that
existed at 30 June 2020. This is considered a key judgement in the
preparation of these financial statements.

A1. Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings
Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings are performance
measures used internally to provide insight into the operating
performance of the Group by adjusting for items that are outside
Management's control or items that relate to strategic rather
than operational decisions. Items are excluded from underlying
EBITDAF and underlying earnings when they meet the criteria
outlined in the Group's non-GAAP financial information policy
(refer to www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/governance/

GAAP performance measures. They should not be viewed in
isolation nor considered a substitute for measures reported in
accordance with NZ IFRS. Underlying EBITDAF and underlying
earnings are used by many companies, however, because these
measures are not defined by NZ IFRS they may not be uniformly
defined or calculated by all companies. Accordingly, these
measures may not be comparable.

The wholesale electricity price path used to value generation
assets and electricity derivatives at 30 June 2020 assumed the
ongoing operation of Tiwai Point. This assumption is consistent
with the assumption used in the price paths published by
independent third parties and market data available at 30 June
2020. While there was a possibility of closure, the external and
internal analysis at 30 June 2020 indicated that the broadly held
view was that Tiwai Point would remain open.
COVID-19
As the energy sector provides an essential service it has been
relatively unaffected by COVID-19 compared to other sectors of
New Zealand's economy. During the nationwide level 4 lockdown
and level 3 restrictions, which commenced on 25 March 2020,
there was a decrease in electricity and gas demand and the
wholesale electricity price path, which impacted both electricity
revenue and purchases. Since this time demand and the price
path have returned to broadly similar levels to those experienced
prior to the level 4 lockdown and level 3 restrictions. This is a
trend which is expected to continue. Given Genesis is both a
generator and a retailer, the change in the price path did not
have a material impact on the reported result. As the price path
and generation volumes at 30 June 2020 has broadly returned
to pre lockdown levels it has not had a material impact on the
valuation of generation assets and electricity swaps and options
and electricity power purchase agreements ('PPA') (refer note B1
and F8). On 12 August 2020 the alert level for the Auckland region
was raised to level 3, while the rest of the country was raised to
level 2. To date, no material business impact has been noted as a
result of the current lockdown. The expected credit loss provision
on trade receivables and accrued revenue has also been updated
to reflect the impact of COVID-19 and any potential recession
that may follow. This resulted in a small increase in the expected
credit loss provision (refer note C1). A small adjustment was also
made to deferred tax / tax expense as a result of the Government
reintroducing tax depreciation on commercial and industrial
buildings as part of the relief package for COVID-19 (refer note
A6).
Impairment of assets
Assets that have indefinite useful lives are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depletion, depreciation or
amortisation are reviewed for impairment annually or whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable. If an asset’s carrying value
exceeds its recoverable amount, the difference is recognised
as an impairment loss in the income statement, except where
the asset is carried at a revalued amount then it is treated as a
revaluation decrease up to the amount previously recognised in
the revaluation reserve.

During the year the Group adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases ('NZ
IFRS 16'). The impact of adopting this standard, using the full
retrospective method, is disclosed below.
NZ IFRS 16 Leases
The Group leases office buildings, land for its generation sites and
LPG depots. The adoption of NZ IFRS 16 has resulted in changes to
how leases are recognised, measured and disclosed. The standard
provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to
recognise right-of-use assets (leased assets) and lease liabilities for
all lease arrangements that meet the definition of a lease, except
for short-term leases where the lease term is 12 months or less and
leases of low-value assets. For these leases the Group recognises
the lease payments as operating expenses on a straight-line basis
over the term of the lease.
The lease liability on initial recognition comprises the
present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date. This includes fixed payments less any lease
incentives receivable and variable lease payments that are based
on an index or rate. The lease payments are discounted using the
incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the Group would
have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of
similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms
and conditions.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the
carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability (using the
effective interest method) and reducing the carrying amount to
reflect the lease payments made. The Group remeasures the lease
liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related
lease asset) whenever the lease term changes, the lease payments
change due to changes in an index or rate or a lease contract is
modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a
separate lease.
The lease assets comprises the amount of the corresponding
initial lease liability, lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, initial direct costs and restoration costs. The
lease asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. The lease asset is depreciated
over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. The lease term ranges
from 4 to 38 years.
NZ IFRS 16 was adopted using the retrospective method and as
a result the comparative information has been restated. Retained
earnings as at 1 July 2018 was adjusted by $5.7 million as a result
of retrospectively adopting the standard. The Group elected not to
reassess whether a contract contains a lease at the date of initial
application. For contracts entered into before the transition date,
the Group relied on the assessment made applying the previous
standard, NZ IAS 17 Leases and IFRIC 4 Determining whether
an arrangement contains a lease. The impact of adopting the
standard is disclosed below.

Determining the number of renewal periods to include in the lease term can have a material impact on the value of the leased asset
included in property, plant and equipment and the lease liability included in borrowings.

A2. Segment reporting (continued)
Reconciliation of expenses in the consolidated comprehensive
income statement to the segment note
Expenses in the consolidated comprehensive income statement
includes the following line items in the segment note: external
costs, employee benefits and other operating expenses.
Intersegment revenue
Sales between segments is based on transfer prices developed in
the context of long-term contracts. The electricity transfer price
per MWh charged between Wholesale and Retail was $85.97
(2019: $83.01).
Restatement of comparative segment note
The structure of the segment note has been updated to
reflect enhanced internal business reporting and as a result
the comparative segment note has been restated to provide
comparability with the current period. Key changes to the
comparable segment note include:
• Intersegment revenues and expenses of $709.3 million are
shown separately by segment (previously disclosed in total
by product);
• Petroleum revenue of $122.2 million previously reported has
been split into LPG ($83.4 million) and oil ($38.8 million);
• Petroleum production, marketing and distribution expense
of $62.5 million previously reported has been split into LPG
($31.6 million), oil ($1.0 million), other costs ($13.5 million)
and other operating expenses ($16.4 million);
• Emissions revenue and expense was not reported separately
previously. The $19.7 million revenue and $45.2 million
expense (made up of $18.4 million emissions associated with
electricity generation and $26.8 million emissions associated
with fuel sales) was previously reported with the product
it related to (electricity ($7.8 million revenue), gas ($10.2
million revenue and $15.2 million expense), fuels consumed
in electricity generation ($18.4 million expense), LPG ($1.5
million revenue and $11.1 million expense) and other ($0.2
million revenue and $0.5 million operating expenses));
• Other revenue of $12.5 million has been allocated to
products ($13.6 million to electricity and -$1.1 million to gas);
• Electricity purchase, transmission and distribution of $1,439.6
million previously reported has been split into electricity
purchases ($904.3 million) and electricity network,
transmission, levies and meters ($535.3 million);
• Gas purchase, transmission and distribution of $274.7 million
previously reported has been split into gas purchases ($197.1
million), gas network, transmission, levies and meters ($79.5
million) and fuels consumed in electricity generation (-$1.9
million);
• $59.8 million of expenses previously reported in other
operating expenses has been reclassified to electricity
network, transmission, levies and meters ($57.9 million), gas
network, transmission, levies and meters ($1.0 million) and
other costs ($0.9 million);
• All lines below EBITDAF remain unchanged.
In addition to changes in the structure of the segment note, the
comparative numbers have been restated to reflect:
• The change in the reporting line for Technology and Digital
from Corporate to Retail. Lines impacted by the change are
employee benefits, other operating expenses, depreciation,
depletion and amortisation and impairment of non-current
assets, which have decreased by $7.1 million, $22.1 million,
$5.9 million and $0.2 million respectively for Corporate with
a corresponding increase for Retail;
• Removal of corporate cost allocations, which has resulted
in a $7.5 million increase in employee benefits and a $19.6
million increase in other operating expenses for Corporate,
a $4.0 million and $11.8 million decrease respectively for
Retail, a $3.4 million and $7.7 million decrease respectively
for Wholesale and a $0.1 million and $0.1 million decrease
respectively for Kupe;
• Adoption of the new lease standard NZ IFRS 16, which has
resulted in a $0.3 million increase in fuels consumed in
electricity generation for Wholesale, $0.9 million decrease in
other operating expenses for Retail, a $0.8 million decrease
for Wholesale and a $4.6 million decrease for Corporate. An
increase in depreciation, depletion and amortisation of $0.8
million for Retail, $0.6 million for Wholesale and $3.8 million
for Corporate. Impairment of non-current assets decreased
by $2.8 million for Wholesale and finance expense increased
by $0.3 million for Retail, $1.5 million for Wholesale and $2.0
million for Corporate.
A2. Segment reporting
The Group reports activities under four operating segments as follows:
SegmentActivity
RetailSupply of energy (electricity, gas and LPG) and related services to end users.
Wholesale
Supply of electricity to the wholesale electricity market, supply of gas and LPG to wholesale customers and
the Retail segment and the sale and purchase of derivatives to fix the price of electricity.
Kupe
Exploration, development and production of gas, oil and LPG. Supply of gas and LPG to the Wholesale
segment and supply of light oil.
Corporate
Head-office functions, including human resources, finance, corporate relations, property management, legal,
corporate governance and strategy.
The segments are based on the different products and services
offered by the Group. All segments operate in New Zealand. No
operating segments have been aggregated. The Group has no
individual customers that account for 10.0 per cent or more of
the Group's external revenue (2019: none). Included in the Retail
segment result is $40.5 million of costs (2019: $35.3 million)
relating to the Technology and Digital team who provide services
to all of the segments.

Judgement used in determining revenue
Where customer meters are unbilled at balance date the Group uses judgement to determine the volume of the unbilled revenue. The
Group estimates the unbilled volume using historical consumption information. Unbilled revenue is disclosed in note C1. Where a
discount is offered for prompt payment, revenue is initially recognised net of the estimated discount. The estimated discount is based
on historical trends in customer payments.
A4. Other gains (losses)
In the prior year other gains (losses) included a $7.4 million unrealised gain in relation to the change in fair value of carbon units held
for trading as a result of units being acquired at below current market prices. The current year includes a $6.0 million unrealised loss
mainly due to the reversal of the unrealised gain recorded in the previous year as a result of the sale of the units. When the units are
sold the cost of the units is recorded in operating expenses.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment has increased by $30.7 million mainly due to the revaluation of generation assets in
the prior year and review of useful lives. Depreciation and depletion of oil and gas assets has decreased by $22.3 million due to lower
production as a result of a major inspection being undertaken during the year and an increase in the estimated remaining reserves of
the Kupe field.

Generation assets
Generation assets include land, buildings and plant and
equipment associated with generation assets. Generation assets
are recognised in the balance sheet at fair value at the date of
the valuation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. The underlying assumptions used in
the valuation are reviewed at each reporting date. Revaluations
are performed with sufficient regularity to ensure the carrying
amount does not materially differ from the estimated fair value
at balance date.
Any increase in the valuation is recognised in other
comprehensive income, unless it reverses a revaluation
decrease for the same asset previously recognised in the
income statement, in which case it is recognised in the income
statement to the extent it reverses a decrease previously
recognised. A decrease in carrying amount arising on revaluation
is recognised in the income statement to the extent that it
exceeds the balance, if any, held in the asset revaluation reserve
for that asset. Accumulated depreciation at the date of the
revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying value so that
the gross carrying amount after revaluation equals the revalued
amount.
Subsequent additions to generation assets are recognised at
cost. Cost includes the consideration given to acquire the asset
plus any other costs incurred in bringing the asset to the location
and condition necessary for its intended use, including major
inspection costs, resource consent, relationship agreement costs
and financing costs where appropriate.

Income tax
Income tax is recognised in the income statement unless it
relates to other comprehensive income.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on taxable income for
the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
the end of the reporting period, together with any unpaid tax or
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax reflects the differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of
deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of
realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the
end of the reporting period.
Reintroduction of tax depreciation on buildings
On 25 March 2020 the Government passed legislation which
reintroduced tax depreciation on commercial and industrial
buildings. This legislative change resulted in a $1.6 million
adjustment to deferred tax.

Key estimates and judgements
The wholesale electricity price path is the key driver of changes
in the valuation. The price path is an average of the internally
generated price path and price paths published by independent
third parties. Changes in electricity demand, hydrology and
new generation build affect the price path. These factors are
reviewed for reasonableness by senior management personnel
who are responsible for the price path used by the business.
The internally generated price path assumes national demand
growth based on the latest available industry analysis and
Genesis' view of economic growth. Forecast hydrology is based
on 83 years of historical hydrological inflow data, and new
Leased assets
Refer to the 'General information and significant matters' section
for the accounting policy for leased assets.
All other categories of property, plant and equipment
All other categories of property, plant and equipment, with the
exception of land and capital work in progress, are recognised
at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses. Land and capital work in progress are not
depreciated.
Impairment
Impairment of capital work in progress relates to expenditure on
Huntly unit 6. Huntly unit 6 capital work in progress is impaired
as incurred, as the fair value of this unit is nil. Refer to note A2 for
disclosure of impairment by segment.
Asset categoryEstimated useful lives
Generation assetsup to 85 years
Other property, plant and equipment3 to 50 years
Leased assets4 to 38 years
generation build assumptions are based on public information
and an assessment of the wholesale electricity prices required
to support new generation build. The internally generated price
path assumed the ongoing operation of NZAS at Tiwai Point. This
assumption is consistent with the assumption used in the price
paths published by independent third parties and market data
available at 30 June 2020. On 9 July 2020, NZAS announced
its intention to close the Tiwai Point smelter. Greater clarity
and more information is required before Genesis can estimate
the financial effect this will have on the fair value of generation
assets. Refer to the 'General information and significant matters'
for more information. Significant unobservable inputs in the
valuation model were:
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis. The estimated
useful lives are reviewed annually. An asset’s carrying amount
is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the
carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable
amount.
B1. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The last revaluation of generation assets was performed
on 30 June 2019. A valuation of generation assets has been
undertaken. The results indicate the carrying value approximates
the fair value and, as a result, the Group has not undertaken a full
revaluation of generation assets at 30 June 2020.
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model prepared
by Management, calculated by generating scheme except for
the Huntly site where it is calculated by type of unit (units 1 to 4,
unit 5 and unit 6). As the key inputs into the valuation are based
on unobservable market data, the valuation is classified as level
3 in the fair value hierarchy. It requires significant judgement and
therefore there is a range of reasonably possible assumptions
that could be used in estimating the fair value. Refer to note F8
for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.
If generation assets were carried at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, the
carrying amount would be approximately $1,534.6 million (2019:
$1,558.4 million).
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure
All exploration and evaluation costs, including directly
attributable overheads and general permit activity are
expensed as incurred except for the costs of drilling exploration
wells and the costs of acquiring new interests. The costs of
drilling exploration wells are initially capitalised pending the
determination of the success of the wells. Costs are expensed
immediately where the work does not result in a successful
discovery. Costs incurred before the Group has obtained the
legal rights to explore an area are expensed as incurred.
Exploration, evaluation and development expenditure assets are
not amortised; instead, they are assessed annually for indicators
of impairment. Any impairment is recognised in the income
statement. Once development of a project has been completed,
the accumulated expenditure in relation to the project is
transferred to oil and gas producing assets.
Oil and gas producing assets
Oil and gas producing assets include costs associated with
the production station, platform and pipeline transferred from
exploration, evaluation and development expenditure, mining
licences and major inspection costs. Depletion of oil and gas
producing assets, excluding major inspection costs, is calculated
on a unit-of-production basis using proved remaining reserves
('1P') estimated to be obtained from, or processed by, the specific
asset. Major inspection costs are depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the period up to the next major inspection. Major
inspections occur every two to 10 years depending on the nature
of the work undertaken.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of a business
acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date
of acquisition. Goodwill is assessed as having an indefinite useful
life and is not amortised but is subject to impairment testing
at each reporting date or whenever there are indications of
impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has
been allocated to the following cash-generating units ('CGU'):
Goodwill by CGU
2020

2019
$ million
Retail – electricity and gas102.6102.6
Retail – LPG112.6112.6
Kupe13.213.2
Total goodwill228.4228.4
Retail – electricity and gas
The goodwill associated with the electricity and gas business
mainly relates to the acquisition of NGC electricity and gas
business in 2002 and 2003. The impairment test is based on an
estimated discounted cash flow analysis (value in use). Estimated
future cash flow projections are based on the Group's five-year
business plan for the CGU. Cash flows beyond the five-year
business plan are extrapolated using a 1.0 per cent year-on-year
growth rate (2019: 1.0 per cent). The estimated future cash flow
projections are discounted using a pre-tax equivalent discount
rate of 9.4 per cent (2019: 9.9 per cent). Any reasonably possible
change in key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is
based is not expected to cause the carrying value of the goodwill
to exceed its recoverable amount.
Retail – LPG
The goodwill associated with LPG relates to the acquisition
of the LPG business from Nova Energy on 1 June 2017. The
impairment test is based on an estimated discounted cash flow
analysis (fair value less disposal costs) using ten years of forecast
information. Cash flows beyond the forecast period are based
on an EBITDAF multiple of 7.5x (2019: 7.5x). The estimated future
cash flow projections are discounted using a pre-tax equivalent
discount rate of 9.4 per cent (2019: 9.9 per cent). The forecast
takes into consideration both the acquired and existing LPG
business, as the assets of the acquired business are used to
service the pre-acquisition LPG customers. Any reasonably
possible change in key assumptions on which the recoverable
amount is based is not expected to cause the carrying value of
the goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount. As the valuation
is based on inputs that are not based on observable market data
the valuation is classified as level three in the fair value hierarchy.
Refer to note F8 for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.
Key assumptions in the impairment tests for electricity and gas and LPG were:
AssumptionsMethod of determination
Customer numbers and
customer churn
Review of actual customer numbers and historical data regarding movements in customer
numbers (the historical analysis is considered against expected market trends and competition for
customers).
Gross margin
(electricity and gas)
Review of actual gross margins and consideration of expected market movements and impacts.
EBITDAF (LPG)Review of actual EBITDAF and consideration of expected market movements and impacts.
Cost to serve Review of actual costs to serve and consideration of expected future costs.
Kupe
The goodwill associated with Kupe relates to the acquisition of
the Kupe subsidiaries from New Zealand Oil and Gas Limited
('NZOG') on 1 January 2017. The impairment test is based on
an estimated discounted cash flow analysis (value in use). The
estimated future cash flow projections are based on proved and
probable reserves ('2P'), as disclosed in note B2. The pre-tax
equivalent discount rate was 9.4 per cent (2019: 9.9 per cent).
Any reasonably possible change in key assumptions on which
the recoverable amount is based is not expected to cause the
carrying value of the goodwill to exceed its recoverable amount.
B3. Intangible assets (continued)
Key estimates and judgements
Proved reserves ('1P') are the estimated quantities of oil and
gas that geological and engineering data demonstrates with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs, under existing economic and operating
conditions. Proved reserves ('1P') are defined as those that have
a 90 per cent likelihood of being delivered. Because the geology
of the Kupe oil and gas field subsurface cannot be examined
directly, an indirect technique, known as volumetrics, has been
used to estimate the size and recoverability of the reserve. There
are high levels of uncertainty in terms of accessibility of reserves
through sealing faults and pressure support. The Joint Venture
Operator performed a review of Kupe's reserves during the
year. Genesis engaged Gaffney Cline, an independent expert, to
review and verify the Operator's reserve estimate, which resulted
in an increase in remaining reserves for both proved reserves
('1P') and proved and probable reserves ('2P'). The increase in
reserves resulted in a $17.4 million reduction in depletion expense
for the year. A reduction of 10 per cent in these reserves would
increase depletion charges going forward by approximately $3.5
million per annum at current production rates. The table below
presents the remaining Kupe oil and gas field reserves in Peta
joule equivalents ('PJe') of which the Group has a 46.0 per cent
interest (2019: 46.0 per cent).

Trade receivables and accruals
Trade receivables and accruals are initially recognised at fair value
and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Trade receivables
and accrued revenue that are known to be uncollectable are written
off. Total bad debts written off during the year was $6.2 million
(2019: $6.4 million).
Expected credit loss provision
The expected credit loss provision is calculated using the simplified
approach, which takes into account the lifetime expected credit
loss on trade receivables and accrued revenue. The allowance for
expected credit losses is calculated using a provision matrix, which
is based on historic write offs. Where possible the percentages are
adjusted for foreseeable future economic conditions which may
impact the collectability of trade receivables and accrued revenue.
It is possible New Zealand may enter into a recession as a result of
COVID-19, which may impact the collectability of trade receivables
and accrued revenue. As a result an additional amount has been
provided for based on the increase in write offs experienced during
the last economic down turn (Global Financial Crisis). In the prior
year the provision for trade receivables and accrued revenue was
based on 0.76 per cent of revenue and the provision for customers at
collection agencies and unoccupied households was 85 per cent and
100 per cent respectively of the debtor balance.
Deferred customer account credits
Account credits given to customers are included in the measurement
of revenue. The account credit is spread over the term of the
customer contract.

Fuel, petroleum, consumables and spare parts
Fuel, petroleum, consumables and spare parts are recognised
at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined
using the weighted average cost basis, which includes
expenditure incurred in bringing the inventories to their present
location and condition, including shipping and handling. Net
realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make
the sale.
Fuel inventories mainly consist of coal used in electricity
production. Fuel inventories (excluding natural gas) expensed
during the year amounted to $103.1 million (2019: $101.3 million).
Petroleum products consist of LPG and light crude oil held for
resale produced from the Kupe production facility. Petroleum
products expensed during the year amounted to $25.8 million
(2019: $26.9 million).
Consumables and spare parts are held to service or repair
generating assets. Consumables and spare parts relating to
Huntly unit 6 are impaired when incurred, as the fair value of this
unit is nil.
Emission units held for trading
Emission units held for trading are measured at fair value.
Changes in the fair value are recognised in the income statement
within other gains (losses). The fair value is determined using the
OM Financial forward curve. As the fair value is calculated using
inputs that are not quoted prices, the units are classified as level
two in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to note F8 for an overview of
the fair value hierarchy.

Software
Software are assets with finite lives. These assets are recognised
at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised in the income statement on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset
from the date it is available for use. The estimated useful life is
between one and ten years.
Impairment in the current year relates to internally developed
software projects which have been discontinued.
Emission units held for own use
Emission units held for own use are used to settle the Group's
emission obligation. The units are initially recognised at fair value
and are not revalued. As the units do not have an expiry date
they have an indefinite useful life. The units are not amortised
but are subject to impairment testing.
Contractual arrangements
Contractual arrangements include customer contracts and
relationships acquired through business acquisitions, and
sponsorship contracts.
Customer contracts and relationships
Customer contracts and relationships are assets with finite
lives. These assets are recognised at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment losses.
Amortisation of customer contracts and relationships related
to Kupe are recognised in the income statement on a units-of-
use basis, using proved remaining reserves ('1P') expected to
be obtained over the contract period. Remaining reserves used
in the calculations range from 160.7 to 250.0 PJe (2019: 164.7
to 188.1 PJe). Refer to note B2 for further information on the
reserves estimate.
B3. Intangible assets (continued)
Amortisation of customer contracts and relationships related to
the LPG business are recognised in the income statement on a
diminishing-value basis over the estimated life of the contract or
relationship to reflect the likely churn of customers. The majority
of the assets have 50-year lives with one contract having a five-
year life.
Impairment in the prior year relates to a change in the term of a
contract.
Sponsorship contracts
Sponsorship contracts are assets with finite lives. These assets
are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised in the income
statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life
of the asset from the date it is available for use. The useful life is
based on the contract period, which ranges between one and 15
years.
Deferred customer acquisition costs
Customer acquisition costs that are directly attributable to
securing a particular customer contract are capitalised and
amortised over the length of the average customer tenure (30
months). Amortisation of these costs is included within operating
expenditure.
Emission obligations
Emission obligations are recognised as a liability when the Group
incurs the emission obligation. Emission units payable to third
parties are recognised at the average cost of emission units
on hand, up to the amount of units on hand at the recognition
date. Where the emission obligation exceeds the level of units
on hand, the excess obligation is measured at the contract
price where forward contracts exist or the market price for any
obligation not covered by units on hand or forward contracts.
Trade payables and accruals
Trade payables and accruals are recognised when the Group
becomes obligated to make future payments, resulting from the
purchase of goods or services, and are subsequently carried at
amortised cost.
Employee benefits
A liability for employee benefits (wages and salaries, annual and
long-service leave and employee incentives) is recognised when
it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount is
capable of being measured reliably. Provisions made in respect
of employee benefits are measured using the remuneration rate
expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Rehabilitation and restoration
The majority of this provision relates to the remediation of the
Huntly ash ponds and the Kupe production facility. The provision
represents the present value of the Group's best estimate of
future expenditure to be incurred to remediate the sites at
balance date. Key assumptions include: an estimate of when the
rehabilitation and restoration is likely to take place, the possible
remediation alternatives available, the expected expenditures
attached to each alternative and the foreign currency exchange
rate.
There is no provision for the remediation of the Huntly
generation site because the Group has the right to lease the site
in perpetuity, there is no fixed or planned termination date for
the Huntly lease and the site remains a key electricity generation
site for the Group. The lease of the site is independent of
decisions around the retirement of Huntly units 1 to 4, which are
planned to be available to the electricity market until such time
they are uneconomic to run. There may be costs and recoveries
associated with retiring Huntly units 1 to 4 but these cannot be
reliably estimated at this time.
Contractual arrangements
Contractual arrangements provisions relate to sponsorship and
relationship agreements with various parties. The provisions
represent the present value of the best estimate of cash flows
required to settle the Group's obligations under the agreements.
The timing of the outflows is expected to occur over the next 19
years.
Key estimates and judgements
The key assumptions that could have a material impact on
the Kupe production facility rehabilitation estimate relate
to foreign exchange rates, mobilisation and demobilisation
costs for rig and offshore supply vessel and regulatory
requirements in relation to the removal of the subsea
pipeline. The majority of costs are based in United States
dollars and, therefore, are sensitive to fluctuations in
foreign exchange rates. If the foreign exchange rate were
to decrease by 10 per cent the provision would increase by
$10.7 million. Given the equipment required to complete
the rehabilitation comes from overseas, the mobilisation
and demobilisation costs can fluctuate significantly
depending on the volume of work the contractor has
nearby at the time the rehabilitation is required to be
completed. The full cost of mobilisation and demobilisation
has been provided for, given the uncertainty around the
ability to share these costs with other entities. If the costs
could be shared with other entities the provision would
decrease by between $10.0 million and $20.0 million. The
provision is based on the removal of the shore section
of the subsea pipeline. The remaining pipeline will be
flushed and left in situ. If all of the pipeline needed to be
removed, the cost would increase the provision by $16.6
million. The rehabilitation is estimated to be completed in
approximately 16 years.
D2. Joint operations
The Group has a 46.0 per cent interest in the Kupe production
facility and Petroleum Mining Permit 38146 held by the Kupe
Joint Venture (2019: 46.0 per cent). The principal activity of
the Kupe Joint Venture is petroleum production and sales. The
Joint Venture is unincorporated and operates in New Zealand.
The Group is considered to share joint control based on the
contractual arrangements between the Group and other joint
operators that state unanimous decision-making is required for
relevant activities that most significantly impact the returns of
the joint operation.
The Joint Venture is classified as a joint operation under NZ
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. The Group's share of revenue,
expenditure, assets and liabilities is included in the Group
financial statements on a proportionate line-by-line basis. The
operating results of the Kupe Joint Venture are included in

Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of
transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Borrowings designated in a fair value hedge relationship are
carried at amortised cost adjusted for the change in the fair
value of the hedged risk.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for
at least 12 months after the balance date.

Bonds issued during the prior year
On 16 July 2018 the Group exercised its right to redeem $200.0
million of fixed rate subordinated capital bonds with an original
maturity date of 15 July 2041. The redeemed capital bonds were
replaced by $240.0 million capital bonds with a maturity date
of 16 July 2048. This issue pays a quarterly coupon of 4.65 per
cent per annum. On the first reset date and every five years
thereafter, the interest rate will reset to be the sum of the five-
year swap rate on the relevant reset date plus the margin of 2.01
per cent per annum plus the step-up margin of 0.25 per cent
per annum. Issue costs are amortised over five years to the first
reset date. An interest rate swap has been used to manage the
fair value risk of the bonds.

E. Funding
E1. Capital management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that each entity in
the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while
maximising the return to shareholders through the appropriate
balance of debt and equity. This is achieved by ensuring that
the level and timing of its capital investment programmes,
equity raisings and dividend distributions are consistent with
the Group's capital structure strategy. This strategy remains
unchanged from previous years. The capital structure of the
Group consists of debt, which includes the borrowings disclosed
in note E5, cash and cash equivalents and equity attributable to
the shareholders of Genesis, comprising issued capital, reserves
and retained earnings, as disclosed in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F. Risk management
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks,
including market risk (price risk, interest rate risk and foreign
exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Board has
established policies that provide an overall risk management
framework, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as
electricity and oil price risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange
risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and the use of derivatives.
Compliance with policies is monitored by the risk assurance
function.
Market risk
Nature and exposure to the GroupNoteHow the risk is managed
Price risk
The Group is exposed to movements in the spot
price of electricity arising through the sale and
purchase of electricity to and from the market,
movements in the spot price of light crude oil
arising from oil sales and movements in the spot
price of emission units.
F2
The Group aims to hedge price risk on electricity sales and purchases,
oil sales and emission costs by entering into electricity swaps and
options and PPAs, oil price swaps and forward purchase agreements for
emission units, in line with policy limits.
The Electricity hedging policy focuses on the Group's net exposure to
electricity prices over a three-year period, with greater focus on the
near-term period. The Treasury policy requires that 50-90 per cent of oil
sales are fixed for a period of up to one year. The range decreases to a
maximum of 50 per cent for sales forecasted in two to three years' time.
The Carbon hedging policy focuses on managing price risk using units
on hand and forward purchase agreements to cover price risk in the
short to medium term.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because
Genesis borrows funds at both fixed and floating
interest rates. Changes in market interest rates
expose the Group to changes in:
• Future interest payments on borrowings
subject to floating interest rates (cash flow
risk); and
• The fair value of borrowings subject to fixed
interest rates (fair value risk).
F3
The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk in line
with the Group's Treasury policy. The Treasury policy requires that 50-
100 per cent of projected debt is fixed for a period of up to one year. The
range decreases as the age profile increases to a maximum of 20 per
cent for debt due in 10-15 years.
Foreign exchange risk
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a
result of capital and operational transactions and
borrowings denominated in a currency other than
the Group's functional currency.
F4
Capital and operating transactions
The Group uses foreign exchange contracts to manage foreign exchange
risk on capital and operational transactions (including maintenance of
capital equipment and oil sales) in accordance with the Group's Treasury
policy. The Treasury policy requires that 50-90 per cent of projected oil
sales are fixed for a period of up to one year. The range decreases as the
age profile increases to a maximum of 50 per cent for projected oil sales
in two to three years' time. All foreign currency exposures on capital
commitments are hedged, as well as operating commitments over $0.5
million.
Overseas borrowings
The Group uses CCIRS to manage foreign exchange risk on overseas
borrowings. All interest and principal repayments are hedged. The
combination of the foreign-denominated debt and CCIRS results in a net
exposure to New Zealand dollar floating interest rates and a fixed New
Zealand dollar-denominated principal repayment. The New Zealand
dollar floating interest rate risk is managed using the process described
in the interest rate risk section above.
The Group uses the following derivatives to hedge its financial
risk exposures:
• Electricity swaps and options and electricity power purchase
agreements ('PPA');
• Oil price swaps;
• Forward purchase agreements for emission units;
• Foreign exchange contracts;
• CCIRS; and
• Interest rate swaps.
A summary of the financial risks that impact the Group, how they
arise and how they are managed is presented below:
USPP
During the 2015 financial year the Group issued $150.0 million
United States dollar-denominated unsecured notes to United
States-based institutional investors. Cross currency interest rate
swaps ('CCIRS') have been used to manage foreign exchange
and interest rate risks on the notes (refer to note F4 for further
information on CCIRS).
While the New Zealand dollar amount required to repay the
USPP is fixed as a result of the CCIRS, the USPP is required
to be translated to New Zealand dollars at the spot rate at the
reporting date. Any revaluation of the USPP as a result of this
translation is offset by the change in the fair value of the CCIRS.
Capital bonds
The interest rate on the capital bonds resets every five years. The
next interest rate reset is June 2022 for the FY47 bonds and July
2023 for the FY49 bonds.

Interest on borrowings, bank and facility fees and transaction
costs are recognised in the income statement over the period
of the borrowings, using the effective interest rate method,
unless such costs relate to funding capital work in progress.
Time value of money adjustments on provisions are recognised
in the income statement up to the point the provision is used or
released.
Finance expense on capital work in progress (qualifying assets)
is capitalised during the construction period. The capitalisation
rate used to determine the amount of finance expense to be
capitalised is based on the weighted average finance expenses
incurred by the Group.
The valuation of the term loan facility and the wholesale term
notes is based on estimated discounted cash flow analyses, using
applicable market yield curves adjusted for the Group's credit
rating. The credit-adjusted market yield curves at balance date
used in the valuation ranged from 1.5 per cent to 1.8 per cent
(2019: 1.9 per cent to 3.0 per cent).
The valuation of USPP is based on estimated discounted cash
flow analyses, using applicable United States market yield
curves adjusted for the Group's credit rating. The credit-adjusted
market yield at balance date used in the valuation was 1.1 per
cent (2019: 2.6 per cent).
The carrying value of all other borrowings approximate their fair
values.
Security
All of the Group's borrowings are unsecured. The Group borrows
under a negative pledge arrangement, which does not permit the
Group to grant any security interest over its assets, unless it is an
exception permitted within the negative pledge.

Derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the
contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured to fair
value. The gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised in the
income statement, unless the derivative is designated into an
effective hedge relationship as a hedging instrument, in which
case the timing of recognition in the income statement depends
on the nature of the designated hedge relationship. The Group
may designate derivatives as either:
Cash flow hedges where the derivative is used to manage the
variability in cash flows relating to recognised liabilities or highly
probable forecast transactions.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow
hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and
accumulate in the cash flow hedge reserve. The ineffective
portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is
recognised immediately in the income statement in the change
in fair value of financial instruments line.
Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are
reclassified to the income statement in the period when the
hedged item is recognised in the income statement. However,
when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the
recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory) or
liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in the cash flow
hedge reserve are reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve
and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset
or liability.
Once hedge accounting is discontinued the cumulative gain or
loss remains in the cash flow hedge reserve and is reclassified
to the income statement either when the transaction occurs or
if the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, it is
reclassified immediately.
Fair value hedges where the derivative is used to manage the
variability in the fair value of recognised assets and liabilities.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated
and qualify as fair value hedges are recorded in the income
statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the
hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.
Once hedge accounting is discontinued the fair value
adjustments to the carrying amount of the hedged item arising
from the hedged risk is amortised to the income statement from
that date through to maturity of the hedged item.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedge instrument
expires or is sold, terminated, exercised or no longer qualifies for
hedge accounting.
The Group’s policy is to designate derivatives in hedge
relationships on inception when their fair value is zero, applying
a hedge ratio of 1:1. The Group determines the existence of an
economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the
hedged item based on the amount and timing of their respective
cash flows, reference rates, pricing dates, maturities and
notional amounts. The Group assesses whether the derivative
designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and
has been effective in, offsetting the changes in cash flows of the
hedged item.
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting
This category includes derivatives that economically hedge
financial risks but have not been designated in hedge
relationships for accounting purposes. In these cases changes
in the fair value are recognised immediately in the income
statement within the change in fair value of financial instruments
line (refer to note F5).
Certain electricity derivatives, electricity future contracts and
PPAs cannot be hedge accounted under NZ IFRS 9. These are
principally swap and option contracts that provide dry year cover
for counterparties, electricity futures offered to the market to
enable other counterparties to hedge their electricity risks and
PPAs with renewable energy suppliers. The variable nature of
renewable energy makes it difficult to demonstrate that the PPA
is highly effective as required by NZ IFRS 9, despite the fact the
PPA is an effective economic hedge.
Forward purchase and forward sale agreements for emission
units are entered into for both 'own use' and 'held for trading'.
Agreements to purchase emission units for the Group's own use
are not recognised in the financial statements until the units
are delivered. Forward purchase and forward sale agreements
held for trading do not meet the 'own use' exemption and are
accounted for as derivatives. These contracts are measured at
fair value and any gain or loss on remeasurement is recognised
immediately in the income statement.
The effects of the Group's application of hedge accounting in
respect of derivatives used to manage financial risks are shown
in notes F2 to F5.
F. Risk management (continued)
Other risks
Nature and exposure to the GroupNoteHow the risk is managed
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be
able to meet its financial obligations as they fall
due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity
risk is to ensure that it will always have sufficient
funds to meet its liabilities when due, under both
normal and stressed conditions.
F7
The Group has a policy that requires the debt facilities to be maintained
with a minimum headroom amount above the projected peak debt levels
over the next 12 months. Liquidity risk is monitored by continuously
forecasting cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial
assets and liabilities.
The Group's ability to attract cost-effective funding is largely driven
by its credit standing (Standard & Poor's = BBB+). Prudent liquidity
risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable
securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of
committed credit facilities and the spreading of debt maturities.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will
default on its contractual obligations, resulting
in financial loss to the Group. The Group has no
significant concentrations of credit risk and the
carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,
receivables and derivative assets in the balance
sheet represent the Group's maximum exposure to
credit risk at balance date.
C1
Wholesale electricity sales
The Group purchases wholesale electricity for its retail customer base,
therefore the credit risk is limited to the net amount receivable after
deducting purchases. Market participants are required to provide letters
of credit to the market-clearing agent (NZX Limited), which would be
called upon should any market participant default.
Retail electricity sales, gas, LPG and oil sales
The Group minimises its exposure to credit risk by applying credit limits,
obtaining collateral where appropriate and applying credit-management
practices, such as monitoring the size and nature of exposures and
mitigating the risk deemed to be above acceptable levels. The credit risk
is mitigated by the Group's large customer base and the diverse range of
industries customers operate in.
BS,
F1
Cash and cash equivalents and derivative contracts
Credit risk is managed by using high-credit quality financial institutions
and other organisations. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings
of its counterparties are continuously monitored to ensure the risk is
spread among approved counterparties.

The Group enters into foreign exchange contracts to hedge
highly probable forecast transactions denominated in foreign
currencies. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied. The amount
and maturity of the derivative and forecast transactions are
aligned to ensure the hedge relationship remains effective.
The Group uses CCIRS to manage foreign exchange risk on
the USPP. All interest and principal repayments are hedged.
The combination of the foreign-denominated debt and CCIRS
results in a net exposure to New Zealand dollar floating interest
rates and a fixed New Zealand dollar-denominated principal
repayment.
The principal, basis and margin components of the CCIRS
are designated as a cash flow hedge and the benchmark
component of the CCIRS is designated as a fair value hedge of
the USPP notes. The change in fair value relating to the foreign
currency basis spread component of the CCIRS is excluded
from the hedge relationship. The change is recognised in other
comprehensive income in a separate Cost of Hedging Reserve
(CoHR).
Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts reclassified to
the income statement are recognised in operating expenses
and oil revenue. Gains and losses reclassified to the income
statement on CCIRS are recognised in finance expenses.

Electricity swaps
Oil price swaps
Electricity swaps are entered into to manage the variability of

are entered into to manage the variability of cash flows from oil
sales. Cash flow hedge accounting is applied.
Gains and losses on electricity swaps are recognised in electricity
revenue and gains and losses on oil price swaps are recognised
in oil revenue. Electricity revenue includes $25.6 million (2019:
$22.6 million) of option fees on electricity swaps and options.

At balance date the carrying value of non-hedge accounted
electricity swaps and options and PPAs was a $13.0 million asset
and electricity future options was a $3.5 million liability (2019:
$19.1 million asset, $5.0 million liability). The nominal value at
balance date of non-hedge accounted electricity swaps and
options and PPAs was $930.6 million (2019: $202.3 million).
At balance date there were no non-hedge accounted oil price
swaps (2019: none).
Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk
on borrowings.
Gains and losses on interest rate swaps designated as cash flow
hedges reclassified to the income statement are recognised in
finance expenses.
The fair value hedge adjustment is recognised in finance
expenses in the income statement.
At balance date the carrying value of non-hedge accounted
interest rate swaps was $0.2 million asset and the nominal value
was $45.0 million (2019: $0.6 million liability and $65.0 million

F7. Liquidity risk
The following table details the Group's liquidity analysis for its
financial liabilities and derivatives. Where the amount payable
or receivable is not fixed, the amount disclosed has been
determined by reference to the internally generated forward
price curves existing at balance date. As the amounts included
in the table are contractual undiscounted cash flows, these
amounts will not reconcile to the amounts disclosed in the
balance sheet.
F8. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
Generation assets disclosed in note B1, emission units held for
trading disclosed in note C2 and derivatives disclosed in note
F1 are the only assets and liabilities carried at fair value in the
balance sheet. In addition to this goodwill associated with the
retail LPG business is tested for impairment using fair value less
disposal costs (refer to note B3). While borrowings are initially
recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs, they are
subsequently measured at amortised cost in the balance sheet.
The fair value of borrowings is required to be disclosed (refer to
note E5). The nature of the inputs into the fair value calculation
determines the level applied in the fair value hierarchy. Each level
is outlined below:
Level one – the fair value is determined using unadjusted
quoted prices from an active market for identical assets and
liabilities. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are
readily and regularly available from an exchange, a dealer, a
broker, an industry group, a pricing service or a regulatory
agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring
market transactions on an arm's-length basis.
Level two – the fair value is derived from inputs other than
quoted prices included within level one that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i.e. derived from prices). Financial instruments in this level
include interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts, oil price
swaps, CCIRS and electricity derivatives valued using the ASX
forward price curve.
Level three – the fair value is derived from inputs that are not
based on observable market data. Financial instruments included
in this level are electricity derivatives and PPAs valued using the
wholesale electricity price path.
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair
value hierarchy levels at the date the change in circumstances
occurred. Refer to the reconciliation of level three electricity
swaps and options and PPAs table for transfers between levels.
All derivatives disclosed in F1 other than electricity swaps and
options and PPAs are considered level two. The $2.0 million
electricity swap and option and PPAs net asset comprises a $2.0
million liability classified as level two and a $4.0 million asset
classified as level three (2019: $1.3 million liability and $25.0
million liability respectively).
Valuation of level two derivatives
The fair values of level two derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models. The key inputs in the valuation models
were:
ItemValuation input
Interest rate swapsForward interest rate price curve
Foreign exchange contractsForward foreign exchange rate curves
Oil price swapsForward oil price and foreign exchange rate curves
Electricity swaps and optionsASX forward price curve
CCIRSForward interest rate price curve and foreign exchange rate curves
Valuation of level three derivatives
Valuation process
The team that carries out the valuations reports directly to the
Chief Financial Officer. The results and key drivers of changes in
the valuations are reviewed at least six monthly for generation
assets and monthly for derivatives. The Chief Financial Officer
reports key changes in fair value to the Board. Any changes to
the valuation methodology are reported to the Audit and Risk
Committee.

G1. Share-based payments
The Group operates four share-based payment plans (Long-Term
Incentive Plan ('LTI'), Performance Share Rights Plan ('PSR'),
Talent Retention Plan ('TRP') and Employee Share Scheme ('ESS'))
to enable staff to share in the ownership of Genesis.
The cost of the plans is recognised over the period in which the
performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. The total
amount expensed is based on the Group’s best estimate of the
number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest, taking
into consideration the likelihood that service conditions will be
met, multiplied by the initial fair value of each share.

G2. Related party transactions
Majority shareholder and entities controlled by, and related to,
the majority shareholder
The majority shareholder of Genesis is the Crown. The
Group transacts with Crown-controlled and related entities
independently and on an arm's-length basis for the following
goods and services: royalties, emission obligations, scientific
consultancy services, electricity transmission, postal services,
rail services and energy-related products (including electricity
derivatives). All transactions with Crown-controlled and related
entities are based on commercial terms and conditions and
relevant market drivers.
During the year the Crown received $90.1 million in dividends
(2019: $88.4 million) of which $71.0 million was paid in cash
(2019: $67.5 million) and $19.1 million was paid in shares (2019:
$20.9 million). There were no other individually significant
transactions with the Crown (2019: nil).
The Group has five significant electricity swap and option
contracts with Meridian Energy, a Crown-controlled entity. The
electricity swap and option contracts period and profile vary
between the range of 12.5MW and 150MW, from the period 1
January 2011 to 31 December 2025. In addition to these contracts
there are a small number of insignificant contracts with Crown-
controlled and related entities.
Approximately 16.6 per cent of the value of electricity derivative
assets and approximately 16.8 per cent of the value of electricity
derivative liabilities at year end are held with Crown-controlled
and related entities (2019: 36.4 per cent and 54.1 per cent
respectively). The contracts expire at various times; the latest
expiry date is December 2025.

LTI
Under the LTI plan senior executives purchase shares at market
value, funded by interest-free loans from Genesis. The shares are
held on trust by the Trustee until the end of the vesting period.
Dividends on the shares during the vesting period are deducted
from the loan balance. If the shares vest, each executive is
entitled to a cash amount which, after deduction for tax, is
equal to the outstanding loan balance on day one for the shares
that have vested. That cash amount must be applied towards
repayment of the loan balance and the corresponding shares and
dividends on the shares during the vesting period are released to
the executive.
Vesting of shares is dependent on continued employment
throughout the vesting period and achievement of certain
performance targets (a relative TSR hurdle compared against
industry peers and an absolute TSR hurdle compared against the
NZX and ASX).
If the performance targets are not met or if the executive ceases
to be employed by the Group other than for qualifying reasons,
no shares will vest and the shares will be forfeited to the Trustee
without compensation. The relevant executive will receive no
benefits under the plan unless the Board exercises its discretion
to allow some or all of the shares to vest.

Valuation of electricity swaps and options and PPAs
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The
key inputs and assumptions are: the callable volumes, strike
price and option fees outlined in the agreement, the wholesale
electricity price path ('price path'), 'day one' gains and losses,
emission credits and the discount rate. The options are deemed
to be called when the price path is higher than the strike prices
after taking into account obligations relating to the specific
terms of each contract. No calling is required for the swaps
and there are no option fees. The price path is the significant
unobservable input in the valuation model. Refer to note B1 for
information in relation to the method used to determine the
price path. Changes in electricity demand, hydrology and new
generation build affect the price path.

Deferred ‘day one’ gains (losses)
There is a presumption that when derivative contracts are
entered into on an arm's-length basis, and no payment is
received or paid on day one, the fair value at inception would
be nil. The contract price of non-exchange traded electricity
derivative contracts and PPAs are agreed on a bilateral basis,
the pricing for which may differ from the prevailing derived
market price for a variety of reasons. In these circumstances an
adjustment is made to bring the initial fair value of the contract
to zero at inception. The adjustment is called a 'day one' gain
(loss) and is deferred and amortised, based on expected volumes
over the term of the contract. The following table details the
movements and amounts of deferred 'day one' gains (losses)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
G2. Related party transactions (continued)
PSR
During the year the Group implemented the PSR plan. Under
the PSR senior executives are granted performance share rights.
Vesting of the rights is dependent on continued employment
throughout the vesting period and achievement of certain
performance targets (a relative TSR hurdle compared against
industry peers and an absolute TSR hurdle compared against
the cost of equity). Each performance share right that vests
entitles the participant to one ordinary share in Genesis for no
consideration and 'dividend equivalents' that would have been
earned on the share over the vesting period. No share rights will
vest if the performance targets are not met or if the participant
ceases to be employed by the Group other than for qualifying
reasons, unless the Board exercises its discretion to allow some
or all of the shares to vest. The performance period is from 1 July
2019 to 30 June 2022.
Other transactions with key management personnel or entities
related to them
Key management personnel and their families may purchase gas,
electricity and LPG from the Group on an arm's-length basis and
may purchase shares in Genesis. Key management personnel
also participate in the LTI plan and PSR plan discussed on the
previous page and above. The total number of shares held by
key management personnel (excluding LTI shares) as at 30 June
2020 was 439,252 (2019: 314,713). During the year dividends paid
to key management personnel and their families was $238,663
(2019: $69,150). No other transactions took place between key
management personnel and the Group (2019: nil). As at 30 June
2020 the balance payable to key management personnel was nil
(2019: nil).
G3. Auditor's remuneration
Audit fees comprise $0.1 million for the review of the interim
financial statements and $0.5 million for the audit of the
annual financial statements (2019: $0.1 million and $0.5 million
respectively). In addition to the audit Deloitte provided the
following services during the year: provision of secretarial
services for the Corporate Taxpayer Group (of which Genesis
is a member), trustee reporting and whistleblower hotline
service (2019: provision of secretarial services for the Corporate
Taxpayer Group (of which Genesis is a member), trustee
reporting, leadership development initiatives for senior
employees, customer management software support and
whistleblower hotline service). Total fees relating to other

Corporation of New Zealand Limited ('ECNZ') on 1 April 1999.
These interests in land and leases may be subject to claims
to the Waitangi Tribunal and may be resumed by the Crown.
Genesis would expect to negotiate with the new Māori owners
for occupancy and usage rights of any sites resumed by the
Crown. Certain claims have been brought to, or are pending
against, ECNZ and the Crown under the Treaty of Waitangi Act
1975. Some of these claims may affect land and leases purchased
from ECNZ. In the event that land is resumed by the Crown, the
resumption would be effected by the Crown under the Public
Works Act 1981 and compensation would be payable. The Board
cannot reasonably estimate the adverse effect (if any) of the
claims and cannot provide any assurance that should a claim be
raised it would not have a material adverse effect on the Group's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Gas supply agreement
Genesis is currently engaged in a contractual dispute relating to
the carbon terms of one of its long-term gas supply agreements.
Following an escalation process, the matter has been referred
to arbitration in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
Details of the dispute remain confidential and have not been
disclosed to avoid any prejudice to the ongoing arbitration
process. Genesis is confident of a favourable outcome. However,
should there be an adverse outcome from the proceedings,
potentially up to 1,227,000 carbon units may need to be
transferred. As the cost of any unit transfer will depend on when
the units are required to be transferred and the make up of units
held at that time, it is not possible to provide a reliable estimate
of the financial effect of any transfer.
There are no other known material contingent assets or liabilities
(2019: nil).
G6. Subsequent events
The following events occurred subsequent to balance date:
• $90.0 million of dividends were declared on 19 August 2020
(refer to note E4);
• A $50.0 million additional revolving credit facility was
entered into which expires in July 2022;
• $50.0 million additional wholesale term notes were issued at
a fixed rate of 1.32 per cent which expire in July 2022;
• On 9 July 2020 NZAS announced its intention to close the
Tiwai Point smelter. Refer to the 'General information and
significant matters' section for more information.
Independent auditor's report
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED
TE PŪRONGO A TE KAITĀTARI KAUTE MOTUHAKE
Auditor-General
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Genesis Energy Limited
and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’). The Auditor-General has
appointed me, Bryce Henderson, using the staff and resources
of Deloitte Limited, to carry out the audit of the consolidated
financial statements of the Group on his behalf.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of
the Group on pages 40 to 73, that comprise the consolidated
balance sheet as at 30 June 2020, the consolidated
comprehensive income statement, consolidated statement of
changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for
the year ended on that date, and the notes to the consolidated
financial statements that include accounting policies and other
explanatory information.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of the Group as at 30 June 2020, and its consolidated financial
performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year
then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Standards.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Auditor-
General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional
and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on
Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities
for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with
the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate
Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics
for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In addition to the audit we have carried out assignments in
the areas of trustee reporting, scrutineer’s notice, secretarial
services for the corporate tax payer group, whistleblower hotline
service, and review of the interim report which are compatible
with those independence requirements. These services have not
impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.
In addition to these assignments, principals and employees
of our firm deal with the Group on normal terms within the
ordinary course of trading activities of the Group. Other than the
audit and these assignments and trading activities, we have no
relationship with, or interests in the Group.
Audit Materiality
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements of the
Group, that in our judgement would make it probable that the
economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person
would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality).
In addition, we also assess whether other matters that come to
our attention during the audit would in our judgement change
or influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’
materiality). We use materiality both in planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
We determined the quantitative materiality for the consolidated
financial statements as a whole to be $10 million.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current period. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on
these matters.

Key audit mattersHow our audit addressed the key audit matters and results
Valuation of Generation Assets
Generation assets are measured at fair value as set out in
note B1 of the consolidated financial statements. The carrying
amount at 30 June 2020 is $3,177 million.
The fair value of generation assets is estimated using an
internally generated discounted cash flow model. A valuation
was undertaken at 30 June 2020 which showed the net book
value approximated its fair value and as such, there has been
no revaluation increase or decrease recorded in the current
year.
The significant inputs used to assess the fair value of the
generation assets are the wholesale electricity price path,
generation volumes, and the discount rate. The significant
inputs inherently factor in the impacts of COVID-19. The
wholesale electricity price path is estimated by Genesis
Energy as described in note B1 of the consolidated financial
statements and assumed the ongoing operation of New
Zealand Aluminium Smelters (NZAS) at Tiwai Point, which was
consistent with market data available at 30 June 2020.
As disclosed under note B1 and ‘General information and
significant matters’, NZAS announced on 9 July 2020 the
closure of Tiwai Point Smelter. This is considered a non-
adjusting subsequent event and is therefore not reflected in
the wholesale electricity price path at 30 June 2020.
The estimate of the wholesale electricity price path is the most
significant input in estimating the fair values determined for
the generation assets and affects the estimated generation
volumes which are also used in the fair value calculation.
Changes to the forecast of the wholesale electricity price
path could significantly change the estimated fair value of the
generation assets.
We included the valuation of generation assets as a key audit
matter due to the level of judgement required in forecasting
the wholesale electricity price path.
Our audit procedures included assessing the key inputs to
the model used to estimate the fair value of the generation
assets. Our procedures, which included the use of our internal
valuation experts, were primarily focused on evaluating the
process undertaken by Genesis Energy in forecasting the
wholesale electricity price path and assessing whether the
forecast was consistent with internal and external data.
We assessed the professional competence of the Genesis
Energy valuers involved in the forecasting of the electricity
price path and valuation of the generation assets.
We also compared budgeted performance information from
prior periods to actual data to assess the accuracy of the
forecasting process.
We assessed the forecast wholesale electricity price path
which included internal and externally derived data.
We also evaluated the assumptions used in forecasting
the electricity price path to determine whether they were
consistent with assumptions used across the business,
including management budgets and valuations of other assets
including certain electricity derivatives.
This also included assessing the determination that the key
assumptions in the model were not significantly impacted
by COVID-19, as disclosed under ‘General information and
significant matters’ in the consolidated financial statements.
We assessed the treatment of the announcement of the
intention to close the Tiwai Point smelter by August 2021 as a
non adjusting subsequent event.
We performed sensitivity analysis on the key assumptions
applied in determining the fair value of the generation assets
and considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures.
We have found the assumptions and resulting valuation to be
reasonable.
Valuation of Electricity Derivatives
The Group’s activities expose it to a number of market risks,
including electricity, gas and oil price risk, currency risk and
interest rate risk, which are managed using derivative financial
instruments.
At 30 June 2020 derivative assets were $148.6 million and
derivative liabilities were $111.3 million as set out in note F1 of
the consolidated financial statements.
Many of the Group’s derivatives are valued using standard
valuation techniques based primarily on observable inputs.
However, some electricity swaps, options and Power Purchase
Agreements are valued using inputs that are not based on
observable market data, such as the wholesale electricity price
path forecast which is prepared by Genesis Energy valuers.
As explained in the ‘Valuation of Generation Assets’ section
above, the wholesale electricity price path forecast requires
significant judgement.
Valuations which reflect significant unobservable inputs are
considered to be ‘level 3’ valuations as described in note F8 of
the consolidated financial statements. At 30 June 2020, the
Group had $4 million of electricity derivatives considered to
be within level 3.
We included the valuation of level 3 electricity derivatives as a
key audit matter due to the judgement involved in evaluating
the inputs to the valuation models.
We tested the design and operating effectiveness of key
controls related to the recording and valuation of the level 3
electricity derivative transactions.
We challenged key assumptions applied by management and
agreed underlying data to the contract terms on a sample
basis. We have independently recalculated the fair value of a
sample of electricity derivatives.
Our internal valuation experts have evaluated the
appropriateness of the methodology applied in valuation
models for the level 3 electricity derivatives.
We also performed audit work on the wholesale electricity
price path as explained above under the section entitled
‘Valuation of Generation Assets’.
We have found the assumptions and resulting valuations to be
reasonable.
Other Information
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for
the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual Report, but does not include
the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report
thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form of
audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether the other information
is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial
statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ responsibilities for the consolidated financial
statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the
preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and International
Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as
the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors
are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative
but to do so.
The Directors’ responsibilities arise from the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated
financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the
Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of shareholders taken on the basis of
these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s
Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to
those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the
audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going
concern basis of accounting by the directors and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt
on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to
draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures
in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the consolidated financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the
financial information of the entities or business activities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain
solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other
matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Directors with a statement that we
have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships
and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Directors, we
determine those matters that were of most significance in the
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current
period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation
precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Our responsibilities arise from the Public Audit Act 2001.

Director and Executive remuneration
This report outlines our Remuneration
Report for the year ending 30 June
2020. It sets out remuneration
information for the Chief Executive, the
Executive Team and Directors. Director
and employee remuneration is also
discussed in the Company’s Corporate
Governance Statement which can be
viewed at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/
investors/governance/documents.
Genesis Energy follows the
New Zealand Shareholder Association’s
guide to assist all investors to
understand how remuneration is
aligned with value creation for its
shareholders. Genesis’ remuneration
policy for the Executive Team including
the Chief Executive is designed to have
them remunerated with competitive
salaries, a wide range of benefits
and use of performance incentives
to achieve outstanding performance
and alignment with our shareholders'
interests. The Human Resources and
Remuneration Committee regularly
reviews the remuneration policy. For
the Executive Team the policy provides
the opportunity to achieve, where
performance has been outstanding,
a total remuneration package in
the upper quartile for equivalent
market matched roles. Each year the
Committee reviews the performance
and remuneration appraisals of the
Executive, with the Board approving the
Chief Executive’s remuneration.
Total remuneration for the Executive
Team is made up of three elements:
fixed remuneration, short-term
incentives and long-term incentives.
Fixed remuneration consists of base
salary and benefits and is targeted
to be in the third quartile of the
market. External benchmarking is
commissioned by the Human Resources
and Remuneration Committee to
be carried out independently by
PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Short Term incentives (STIs) are ‘a pay
for performance’ component designed
to motivate and reward performance in
a single financial year. The target value
of an STI is set annually as a percentage
of the Executive’s fixed remuneration.
For FY20 the target for the Chief
Executive was 50 per cent and for other
Executives was between 20 per cent
and 50 per cent. The performance
measures to achieve the STI are then
set across Company KPIs for EBITDAF,
Customer, Health and Safety and
individual KPIs. Within each measure,
there are three performance levels,
‘threshold’, ‘on target’ and ‘outstanding’.
On appraisal at the end of each year
an Executive will be awarded an STI
payment based on their performance
between a range of zero per cent for
below threshold performance, to
150 per cent for outstanding
performance.
The Long Term incentives (LTI) are
also ‘a pay for performance’ component
designed to align rewards for the
Executive with shareholder value
over a three year period. Only the
Executive are eligible to participant in
the LTI. Genesis Energy’s LTI scheme
was reviewed and a new performance
share rights plan established in FY20
to ensure it continues to attract, retain
and motivate high calibre executive
members to drive outstanding
outcomes for our customers and our
shareholders.
Under the new LTI plan, executives
are granted a number of share rights
determined by dividing the gross
value of the grant by the value of one
Genesis share at the date of the grant.
At vesting, subject to meeting the
performance hurdles set at the time
of grant, each share right is converted
to one ordinary share. LTI payments,
if achieved, are made in Genesis
shares rather than cash. The executive
may also receive additional shares
representing the value of dividends paid
over the vesting period. The executive
is liable for tax on the shares received at
this point. Under the new plan, grants
will continue to be made annually
with performance measured over a
three-year period. The Board retains
discretion over the final outcome.
In FY20 LTI grants were made to the
Executive Team and the value of the
grants were set at a percentage of fixed
remuneration between a range of
25 per cent to 60 per cent.

The total remuneration earned by the Chief Executive, Mr Marc England for FY19 & FY20 is as follows:
The Base Salary is inclusive of holiday pay paid as per New Zealand legislation. Benefits include employer contributions towards KiwiSaver on the base salary, short
term incentives (STI) and long term incentives (LTI). The FY18 LTI grant, which matured in FY20, met the absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) metric measured
against the NZX and ASX performance, but did not meet the relative TSR metric measured against the Peer group ending 30 June 2020 and achieved a 50 per cent
vesting outcome.
The FY20 LTI value above represents the gross LTI bonus earned on vesting of the FY18 LTI grant. The net LTI bonus was applied to repay Marc England’s LTI loan
balance. The accumulated cash dividends net of withholding tax of $33,526 was paid to Marc England in July 2020. The dividends are earned subsequent to the
initial grant and are excluded from the LTI amount above. Following repayment of his LTI loan balance, 75,017 ordinary Genesis shares with a market value of $3.03
were transferred to Marc England on 17 July 2020.

In FY20 Marc England's annual LTI was granted as performance share rights under the Genesis Performance Share Rights Plan. Under the Plan the CE was granted
rights that when vested at the expiry of a three-year performance period will entitle him to acquire fully paid Genesis ordinary shares. The number of rights granted
equals the gross LTI value divided by the volume weighted average price of Genesis shares for the 10 trading days prior to the share price purchase date. Subject to
satisfaction of performance hurdles related to the above Performance Measures and continued employment, at vesting each right converts to one fully paid Genesis
ordinary share. If a performance hurdle is not met (or the CE leaves Genesis prior to the vesting date) then the rights associated with the performance hurdle lapse.

remuneration for membership of the
various Board committees.
Table 1 sets out the shareholder-
approved Directors’ fees for the year

Meeting.
No Director is entitled to any
remuneration from the Company other
than by way of Directors’ fees and the
reimbursement of reasonable travelling,
accommodation and other expenses
incurred in performing their duties as
Directors.
Table 2 sets out the remuneration paid
to Directors during the year to 30 June
2020.

entities forming part of the Genesis
Energy Group are set out in the

or other benefits during the period in
relation to their duties as Directors of a
subsidiary.
All Directors received the benefit of an
indemnity from Genesis and the benefit
of Directors and Officers liability
insurance cover.
The cover extends to liabilities to
persons (other than the Company
and its subsidiaries or related
bodies corporate) that arise out
of the performance of their duties

Changes in the regulatory landscape could potentially restrict
the ability to make long-term investments or enter into long-term
agreements.
Without forewarning or consultation, altering the market can create
short-term instability or make thermal generation uneconomic
resulting in the risk that thermal assets become ‘stranded’.
Some hypothetical examples:
• Legislative or regulatory restrictions on coal imports or use
or gas supply. This could additionally include heightened
environmental focus and restrictions when renewing operating
consents for Genesis’ generation assets.
• Carbon price increases, either due to regulatory intervention
or supply/demand shift in ETS, increasing the cost of thermal
generation.
The primary financial risk is one of stranded thermal assets. Genesis
values these assets based on a discounted cashflow method.
These valuations align to our short-term categorisation of this risk
category, factoring that this is when the biggest impact on our
strategy and the financial consequence could be seen. Beyond this
timeframe our strategy provides for a significantly reduced level of
thermal generation, hence the impact of these risks would be lower.
These financial risks are also factored into the risk impact rating,
noting that the financial risk of stranded assets reduces every year as
the discounted cash flows reduce the balance sheet asset value.
The moderate residual risk impact rating also includes other
consequences unrelated to asset values. For example, a faster-
than-expected reduction in thermal generation could result in
reduced earnings, costs associated with long-term fuel purchase
commitments and a potentially over-hedged carbon position.
Additionally, some aspects of our strategy involve New Zealand's
energy transition which is reliant on a stable electricity market
which thermal generation ‘backup’ currently supports. Short-
term uncertainty could result in increased or more volatile prices
representing a risk to these strategic paths, for example, slower
electrification of transport or industrial process heat.
Key mitigations considered when assessing these risks include:
• Thermal generation is only a part of our overall generation fleet.
Renewable generation would not be impacted by these risks, or
could benefit from increased market prices or volatility.
• Baseload thermal generation is a decreasing aspect of our
business, and we have assumed achieving our carbon emission
reduction targets and other publicised statements, such as coal
reduction commitments.
• A hedged position is held against carbon price increase,
including investment in offsetting forestry projects.
Key market opportunities
• Many of these risks would be economy-wide, impacting many
emissions-intensive businesses. This could contribute to them
electrifying and increase electricity demand. For example,
transport and industrial heating sectors look to electrify in the
coming years, meeting this demand with affordable, renewable
generation. This creates opportunities and also the potential for
partnering with these companies during their transition.
TCFD APPENDIX: STRATEGY 1 (A)
TCFD Appendix:
Strategy 1 (a)
The primary risk is one of reduced short-term availability of
generation assets due to weather or climate-related events.
There are a number of physical changes associated with climate
change that could affect our ability to operate thermal generation
or reduce our generation capacity. Risks predominantly relate to the
Huntly Power Station's operating consents (such as river heating) or
physical impacts to production at our Kupe joint-venture with Beach
Energy.
Example risks for Genesis:
• Increased constraints on Huntly's generation due to warmer
Waikato River temperatures; either due to general atmospheric
heating or reduced river flow due to drought.
• Reduced Huntly gas turbine output due to higher ambient air
temperatures for the inlet and cooling water cycle.
• Gas supply restrictions resulting from storms and strong sea
currents restricting platform access or if these conditions lead to
supply disruptions.
Short-term and moderate classifications align to other thermal-
based risks, factoring that it is only one aspect of our business and
forecast to diminish.
Key mitigations considered when assessing these risks include:
• Major disruptions to gas supply restrictions from storms would
likely be short term, and similar incidents in the past have been
remedied in a small number of days. The Huntly Power Station
stockpile of alternative fuel could act as a mitigation in that
period, if required. For a larger impact, multiple events would
have to coincide, so are less likely (for example, a severe storm
damaging gas pipelines at the end of a very dry period, affecting
multiple diverse thermal fuel supplies both from New Zealand
and abroad).
• Additional supplementary cooling equipment could be added
if necessary to extend asset life. This would however have
to be weighed against the economics of that additional life,
factoring in potential reduced thermal generation, and long term
regulatory uncertainty.
• Planned thermal reduction creates ‘headroom’ in some consents
as the plant may be running at lower capacity.
Key Opportunities
• As disclosed within the previous category our thermal assets are
valued for, on average, the next 10-12 years. This assumes that
a solution for New Zealand's dry-year risk has been found and
implemented by the market. If this is not the case beyond this
period, the market may still need thermal generation to secure
supply, creating value not currently recognised.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2020
TCFD APPENDIX
The long-term gradual effects of climate change have the potential
to shift the conditions in which the market currently operates. This
could impact water as a resource, decreasing or increasing the
amount in our catchment inflows. This could also have a wider effect
such as shifting energy usage in New Zealand: increasing summer
temperatures could see an increase in cooling demand, while
warmer winters could reduce heating load. Also, global disruption
due to climate change, such as displaced populations, could
increase immigration to New Zealand and thus energy demand. This
long-term unpredictability adds to the risk.
Example risks for Genesis:
• Altered catchment inflows due to warmer temperatures, less
snowpack and more irregular and intense rainfall e.g. floods,
droughts, increased Probable Maximum Flood (PMF).
• Less water being available to use. Water may be required for
other uses, such as agricultural irrigation, meaning regulation to
restrict the amount of water flowing into our catchments.
• Increased temperature could reduce generation capacity of
current assets. For example, weed proliferation due to elevated
water temperatures, which then constrains hydrological
generation sites.
Primary risks relate to our current hydrology-based assets. Our
strategy involves diversifying our generation assets but hydro assets
likely remain a key part of our business long term. This is reflected in
our asset valuations which extend to ~80 years. Therefore climate-
related risks or uncertainty which impact these assets have the
potential to be significant to our business, which is reflected in our
‘high’ impact rating.
Forecasts and predictions for long-term climate change constantly
evolve. Our current forecast shows that at a catchment level, the
Waikaremoana scheme is projected to experience drier conditions
at all times of the year, while rainfall may vary in the Tongariro
region from season to season. Summer may see reduced levels
of precipitation, with higher levels over winter. Rainfall events in
the Tekapo catchment are expected to increase over the coming
decades, driven by warmer average temperatures around the
Southern Alps. The latter may reduce the amount of snowpack
thereby reducing inflows from melt during summer, while winter
inflows would increase as precipitation would fall as rain instead of
snow.
Key mitigations considered when assessing these risks include:
• Genesis will continue to track and forecast the impacts of the
changing climate on our generation assets, and if necessary
make generation decisions based on these impacts; continually
maintaining a pipeline of development options. Genesis has a
diverse portfolio of longer-term generation growth prospects
to increase capacity as required, or to displace higher-cost
generation in the future.
• The risks are concentrated around our hydro catchments and
the change in generation potential and availability at each.
However, with the three catchments being geographically
spread, Genesis has some flexibility and risk mitigation.
Key opportunities
• Although there is a risk of decreased inflows into our hydro
catchments, this is unpredictable and climate changes could
also result in increased inflows to Genesis’ catchments, or
inflows which are better aligned to seasonal energy demand
(such as increased winter inflows when energy demand is high).
• Increased hydrology volatility could drive demand for alternative
generation sources, creating development opportunities.
• Increased international migration as a result of climate change
could increase immigration to New Zealand, driving electricity
demand and economic growth.
TCFD APPENDIX
TCFD Appendix:
Strategy 1 (a)
TCFD Appendix:
Strategy 1 (a)
Extreme climate-related events represent a risk of damage to
generation assets or other infrastructure. While our assets are well
placed to manage events much larger than the current historical
high, in the long term the extremity of events could become
unpredictable and what may be considered a probable maximum
event currently could change and be surpassed.
Example risks for Genesis:
• Loss of civil integrity of generation and ancillary infrastructure
(e.g. dams, spillways, storage ponds) due to significant rainfall or
flood events.
• Dry days combined with extreme rain increases the risk of
landslides in many areas, these have the potential to disrupt
transport and communication (restricting access to generation
assets), gas pipelines or transmission lines.
• Prolonged drought leading to bush fires affecting transmission
lines or generation infrastructure.
• Increased wind speed or an extreme wind event could damage
transmission lines or wind turbines.
* These risks are not currently rated as ‘high risk’, however, are
included above as this category is ‘long term’ and we are aware that
these risks could develop and increase as generation mix evolves.
We have researched the latest literature to inform our view of these
‘long-term’ risks. We are aware of the unpredictability presented,
and these are actively managed to reduce residual risks to the lowest
level possible. It can be observed throughout the world already
whereby unprecedented weather events occur.
Therefore although these are categorised long-term, it would not be
responsible to delay these risk decisions (for example strengthening
a dam), due to that unpredictability. As such we continually assess
for structural or infrastructure improvements to reduce these risks to
the minimum feasible level.
One key factor in the high rating is the unpredictability associated
with long-term climate predictions.
Key mitigations considered when assessing these risks include:
• Maintaining and managing the safety of our dams consistent
with best practice, constantly assessing to identify any
opportunities to strengthen these assets on an ongoing basis
and as technologies advance.

Acute climate events causing damage to critical infrastructure and assets
Consumer and investor preferences
impacting our operating landscape
Risks in this area reflect potential shifts in investor, customer and
stakeholder sentiment, particularly brand and reputation risks that
lead to a perceived loss of ‘social license to operate’.
This could require a response in the form of our strategy, business
structure or operations, and the success of this response would
determine the impact level. If capitalised upon, the opportunities
could outweigh the risks.
Example risks for Genesis:
• Increased consumer awareness of carbon-emitting businesses,
with sentiment shifting against non-renewable energy, reducing
our retail demand as customers migrate to other retailers/
generators.
• Access to capital and a downward shift in investor preference.
Investors and insurers may look to reduce their exposure to
carbon-emitting businesses or blacklist investment in their
activities, similar to blacklisting of tobacco, weaponry or
gambling investments in the past.
• Direct government intervention, such as forcing the closure of
Huntly or banning coal imports.
The moderate risk rating and short-to-medium term timeframe
applied to these risks factor the level of unpredictability in how
engaged investors and consumers will be in the required transition to
a low emissions economy, as well as key mitigations below.
Key mitigations factored into our risk assessment:
• Ability to adapt to market dynamics and customer expectations.
• Corporate agility, ability to expand into new markets and evolve
business models.
• Our strategy to transition our generation business to renewables
and our commitment to exit coal by 2030.
• Our strategy to reinvent how customers engage with energy.
Key market opportunities
• As consumer awareness of carbon footprints increases, this
creates an opportunity to engage with customers, and have
them engage with their energy, a key part of our strategy. This
year the Genesis Energy IQ platform introduced EcoTracker
so customers can track electricity use and make eco-friendly
consumer choices, which in turn can reduce demand.
• Increased emissions awareness from investors also increases
interest from potential partners to develop renewable energy
solutions.
Technological disruption to existing business
models
Changes in technology could disrupt demand or the market. Risks
in this area reflect potential market shifts, many of which would also
create opportunities. This could require a response in the form of our
strategy, business structure or operations, and the success of this
response would determine the impact level. If capitalised on then the
opportunities could outweigh the risk.
The risks at a macro level could also be summarised as management
making unsuccessful investment or strategic decisions in the
transition to a lower emission company and country.
Example opportunities/risks for Genesis:
• Efficiencies and costs of baseload renewable energy generation
(i.e. the cost of solar panels, next-gen wind turbines) falls below
the cost of baseload thermal generation.
• Electric vehicle uptake accelerates significantly, lowering the
costs of fossil fuels but increasing load on the grid.
• Consumers' use technology such as EcoTracker to plan their
energy consumption around off-peak times, reducing the need
for thermal baseload or peaker generation.
• Grid-scale and customer battery power storage, alleviating NZ’s
seasonal storage challenges.
The risk rating, and short-to-medium term timeframe applied to
these risks, factor in a level of unpredictability, such as the speed of
technology advancement and adoption. The extent to which that is
a risk, or opportunity, depends on Genesis’ ability to learn and adapt.
Genesis has made significant progress in becoming a forward-
looking, customer-centric business and recognise that this must
remain a focus of ongoing effort to navigate these risks.
A key aspect of Genesis’ strategy involves capitalising on this
transition with a focus on this changing landscape. We are actively
pursuing new technologies that could contribute to a more
renewable future. One example is that we took a 40 per cent
share in the EV car-sharing platform Zilch, demonstrating this
strategic outlook. We also capitalised on this recently with off-take
agreements in the Waipipi Wind Farm in Taranaki.
Key mitigations factored into our risk assessment:
• Corporate agility, ability to expand into new markets and evolve
business models.
• Our strategy involves transitioning thermal generation to
renewables.
• Our strategy to reinvent how customers engage with energy,
using new and emerging technology solutions.

GENESIS ANNUAL REPORT 2020
Audit and Risk Committee
A sub-committee of the Board forms the Audit and Risk Committee
(ARC), overseen by the ARC Chair. The principal purpose of the
ARC is to support the Board in its oversight of the Company’s risk
framework, including the Risk Management Policy and to monitor
compliance within that framework. ARC’s core functions include:
• Periodically provides a formal review of Genesis’ risk
management framework and policies. ARC ensures these
policies remain fit for purpose, with appropriate and effective
risk management strategies in place. Within the framework is
Genesis’ Risk Appetite Statement which has a specific carbon
emissions section. This Risk Appetite Statement underpins the
overall Risk Management Framework.
• Receiving quarterly risk reports from Executive Management.
This covers a range of risk topics, grouped as: key risks,
emerging risks, strategic risks and conduct risks. Climate-related
risks are defined as ‘key risks’ but also straddle multiple risk
categories on occasion.
• Reporting to the Board on the outcomes of ARC meetings,
including discussions concerning risks.
• Additionally, the Board receives six-monthly updates on key
sustainability trends and issues. As an example, the ARC
formally endorses both the scenarios used for Genesis’ climate
related risk assessments and any potential output of those
assessments.
Executive risk management
The core functions of the Executive with regards to managing
climate-related risk:
• The Executive are ultimately held accountable by the Board to
provide a robust risk overview.
• The Executive implements the risk mitigation strategies as
approved by ARC and, where applicable, the Board. Quarterly
risk reports are delivered to ARC, which includes actions taken
to mitigate risks previously disclosed.
• At an operational level the day-to-day management of climate-
related risks, including monitoring performance against targets
and delivering on commitments, is dispersed throughout
Genesis. Everyone has their part to play, which is emphasised
by a strong ‘tone at the top’ which flows down throughout the
wider business’ operations.
• Emerging and developing risks, including those that are climate-
related, are monitored periodically. This is primarily performed
by Genesis’ strategy team, the management of which is closely
aligned to the Risk team through the Group Manager Strategy
and Risk role.
• Additionally, the Executive review quarterly sustainability
updates on the Company’s progress against its Sustainability
goals.
TCFD APPENDIX
Risk Identification
Genesis is cognisant of the ongoing and developing effects of
climate change, along with the potential environmental impacts,
and associated operational, regulatory and financial risks to the
business. Climate-related risks are a subset of the Genesis’ overall
risk management process.
• Risks are identified, assessed and managed by the Risk
Management and Strategy teams, under the supervision of the
Group Manager Strategy and Risk. The Group Manager Strategy
and Risk reports to the Chief Financial Officer.
• Risk specialists are tasked with constant research and market
analysis to monitor the Company’s risk landscape to identify
new, emerging or developing risks. This includes staying
up-to-date with all emerging risks including the latest climate-
related research. Each business unit also has a nominated risk
champion.
• The Risk Team provide day-to-day guidance to business units on
how best to identify or manage risks.
• The Risk Team monitor emerging risks, both within the industry,
the wider economy, and across international markets, including
reporting on such to the Executive and Board. One aspect of this
includes contrasting identified key business risks, strategic risks
and climate risks against industry publications such as the World
Economic Forum’s Global Risk report.
• In addition to the overarching risk management framework,
additional procedures are tailored towards specific
risk categories. For climate-related risk we apply the
recommendations of the TCFD and undertake climate scenario
modelling and analysis, described further on Page 18.

3. Governance
Risk Assessment
Given the Company’s exposure to climate-related risk, this has long
been factored and deeply incorporated into every aspect of our risk
assessments. Our climate-risk processes, including assessment,
recognise that climate-related risks are both fundamentally different
to the other risks the Company faces, while also being integrated
with the wider risk management operation.
• All risks, including climate-related risk, are assessed using the
same framework, whilst also recognising key differences in the
underlying characteristics of specific risk categories.
• Genesis assesses the significance of each identified climate-
related risk using a risk management matrix. Aligning with the
assessment of all risks, the matrix encapsulates a likelihood and
consequence aspect, which allows the Company to determine
the appropriate level of response for each key risk.
• Like many companies, key risks and risk management are
historically weighted toward the near term to establish
prioritisation. This simply does not work for risks such as
climate change which can occur across decades. One key
difference between climate-related risk and other key risks is the
‘likelihood’ aspect. By its very nature this is difficult to accurately
quantify especially over these long-term periods and including
large numbers of variables.
• This differentiation is recognised in the way we assess climate-
related risks specifically. A greater level of weighting is placed
on the ‘consequence’ aspect of the matrix, than the likelihood.
This ensures the correct level of emphasis is placed on
mitigating the risks ahead of time.
• This consequence aspect therefore has a large factor when
determining the materiality of the risks we face. Due to the
magnitude of climate-related risks and their possible effects on
every aspect of the business, this elevates risks to ensure they
receive the appropriate attention even if extremely long-term,
or of low probabilty. Applied to this, we develop appropriate
mitigations such as carbon offsetting and carbon displacement
as part of the Company’s overall emissions reduction strategies.
Process of risk management
The processes for managing climate-related risks are incorporated
into Genesis’ Risk Framework, which applies to all risks. Developing
the systems and policies to manage climate-related risk is a highly
adaptive, ongoing process.
Datasets are leveraged from both historical precedent and flexible
forecasting to develop plausible scenario mapping. These scenarios
factor in the environmental impacts and associated operational,
regulatory and financial risks to the business. Genesis continues
to track and forecast the impacts of the changing climate on our
generation assets, and make well-informed decisions based upon
that data.
Depending on the characteristics of the specific climate risk
identified an appropriate management response will be applied,
aligning to other risks of a similar nature. Depending on that nature
the approach, that will be to mitigate, monitor, transfer or avoid.
The climate risks we face are integrated within our Risk
Management Framework, aligning to other risks of similar
characteristics. We regularly monitor whether climate science
requires us to reassess these approaches.
Genesis’ Chief Executive and Executive Leadership team are
accountable for Genesis’ actions and commitments to embed
climate change into risk management, business strategy and
planning, budgeting processes and frameworks.
This includes identifying, considering and monitoring climate-
related risks and opportunities and reporting to the Audit and Risk
Committee and the Board.

EY ASSURANCE - SCOPE EMISSIONS
Independent Limited Assurance Statement to the
Management and Directors of Genesis Energy
What our assurance covered
We reviewed Genesis’ total GHG inventory (including scope 1,
scope 2 and certain scope 3 emissions from business travel, office
waste and use of sold products) for the year ended 30 June 2020,
disclosed on page 21 of Genesis’ 2020 Annual Report.
Criteria applied by Genesis
In preparing the GHG inventory, Genesis applied the Greenhouse
Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard
(‘The GHG Protocol’). Emissions factor sources include the
following (together the ‘Criteria’):
New Zealand Ministry for the Environment, Measuring
Emissions: A Guide for Organisations (2019) (“the Criteria”).
Key responsibilities
EY’s responsibility and independence
Our responsibility was to express a conclusion on Genesis’
voluntary GHG inventory disclosure for the year ended 30 June
2020 based on our review.
We have complied with the relevant ethical requirements relating to
assurance engagements, which include independence and other
requirements founded on fundamental principles of integrity,
objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality
and professional behaviour.
In accordance with the Professional and Ethical Standard 3
(Amended), Ernst & Young Limited maintains a comprehensive
system of quality control including documented policies and
procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements,
professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory
requirements.
Genesis’ responsibility
Genesis management (“management”) was responsible for
selecting the Criteria, and preparing and fairly presenting the GHG
inventory for the year ended 30 June 2020 in accordance with that
Criteria. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining
internal controls, adequate records and making estimates that are
reasonable in the circumstances.
Our approach to conducting the engagement
We conducted this review in accordance with the International
Standard on Assurance Engagements ISAE (NZ) 3000: Assurance
Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial
Information, ISAE (NZ) 3410 Assurance Engagements on
Greenhouse Gas Statements and the terms of reference for this
engagement as agreed with Genesis on 12 June 2020.
Summary of assurance procedures performed
A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries and
applying analytical, appropriate testing, and other evidence-
gathering procedures.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
Conducting interviews with personnel to understand the
business and reporting process
Checking that the flow of information from site metering or
monitoring through to calculation spreadsheets is accurate
and any calculations are appropriate
Identifying and testing assumptions supporting the
calculations
Tests of calculation, aggregation and controls
Comparing year-on-year activities-based greenhouse gas
and energy data, where possible
Checking organisational and operational boundaries to test
completeness of greenhouse gas emissions sources
Checking that emissions factors and methodologies have
been correctly applied as per the criteria
Reviewing the appropriateness of the presentation of
disclosures.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusions.
Limited Assurance
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in
nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable
assurance engagement. Consequently the level of assurance
obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower
than the assurance that would have been obtained had a
reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
While we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal
controls when determining the nature and extent of our procedures,
our assurance engagement was not designed to provide assurance
on internal controls. Our procedures did not include testi
ng controls
or performing procedures relating to checking aggregation or
calculation of data within IT systems.
Use of our Assurance Statement
We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this
assurance report to any persons other than management and the
Directors of Genesis or for any purpose other than that for which it
was prepared.

Our Conclusion
:
Ernst & Young (‘EY’, ‘we’) was engaged by Genesis Energy Limited (“Genesis”) to undertake limited assurance as defined by
the International Standards on Assurance engagements (New Zealand) 3000, over Genesis’ voluntary greenhouse gas (“GHG”)
emissions inventory (“GHG inventory”) disclosures (including scope 1, scope 2 and certain scope 3 emissions from
business
travel, office waste and use of sold products
) for the year ended 30 June 2020. Based on our limited assurance procedures,
nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that Genesis’ GHG inventory for the year ended 30 June 2020 disclosed
on page 21 of the Genesis 2020 Annual Report, has not been prepared and presented fairly, in all material respects, in
accordance with the Criteria defined below.
