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.

Earnings before net finance expenses, income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation, impairment, Fair Value changes and other

gains and losses. Refer to consolidated comprehensive income statement in the 2020 audited financial statements for a reconciliation

from EBITDAF to Net Profit after tax

3

Net Profit adjusted for non-cash fair value adjustments and business acquisition costs.

4

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.

INNOVATION

EnergyIQ’s

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.

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.

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

disclosures on page 24. These

processes result in a comprehensive

register of risks that are actively

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

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.

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.

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

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

Company vehicle

fleet to electric

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

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

to ensure there are no unexplainable

reasons for the difference when

people in these most senior positions

are female.

Supporting females to progress and

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.

is the first step towards

developing actions to

address it, which will

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,

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:

is an adjusting event - refer right

Fair value of generation assetsB153

Depletion of oil and gas producing assetsB255

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.

Earnings per share reduced from 5.84 cents per share to 5.83 cents per share as a result of adopting NZ IFRS 16.

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

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

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

cash flows from electricity purchases and sales. Oil price swaps

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.

to the difference between the market price and the strike price

at inception of the contracts. For oil price swaps ineffectiveness

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.

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.

A 10% increase would decrease the liability

by $34.9 million. A 10% decrease would

increase the liability by $31.4 million.

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

values only, given the incremental borrowing rate will not be

known until the commencement of the lease in October 2020.

G5. Contingent assets and liabilities

The Group had contingent assets and liabilities at 30 June 2020

in respect of:

Land claims, law suits and other claims

Genesis acquired interests in land and leases from Electricity

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.

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.

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

Statutory Disclosures on page 84.

Directors received no remuneration

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.

bodies corporate) that arise out

of the performance of their duties

Genesis' emissions profile gives rise to the risk of government

intervention in the market in a way that potentially restricts or limits

its operation.

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.

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.

Long-term climate changes that impact hydro generation

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.

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.

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.

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.
