A. Our Performance

Notes to the Financial Statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020

A1. SEGMENTS

Contact reports activities under the Wholesale segment and the Customer segment. There have been no significant changes to

Contact’s operating segments in the current period.

The Wholesale segment includes revenue from the sale of electricity to the wholesale electricity market, to Commercial & Industrial

(C&I) customers and to the Customer segment, less the cost to generate and/or purchase the electricity and costs to service and

distribute electricity to C&I customers. The results of Simply Energy Limited, following its acquisition on 31 August 2020, have been

included within the Wholesale segment, within the relevant line items. Prior to acquisition date, Contacts share of net earnings of

Simply Energy Limited were included in ‘Unallocated’ other operating expenses.

The Customer segment includes revenue from delivering electricity, natural gas, broadband and other products and services to

mass market customers less the cost of purchasing those products and services, and the cost to service customers.

‘Unallocated’ includes corporate functions not directly allocated to the operating segments.

The Customer segment purchases electricity from the Wholesale segment at a fixed price in a manner similar to transactions with

third parties.

A2. EARNINGS

The tables on the next pages provide a breakdown of Contact’s revenue and expenses, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation

and amortisation, and changes in fair value of financial instruments (EBITDAF) by segment, and a reconciliation from EBITDAF and

underlying profit to profit reported under NZ GAAP.

Revenue from Simply Energy Limited for electricity supply and billing services is included in the ‘C&I electricity - Fixed price’ and

‘C&I electricity - Pass through’ revenue lines. Simply Energy revenue is recognised when energy is supplied for customer

consumption and as billing services are provided. Revenue recognition involves the calculation of unbilled revenue accruals.

The significant items category has been removed in the current reporting period, to improve the understandability of the EBITDAF

measure. The increase in Holidays Act provision recognised in the year ended 30 June 2020 has been reclassified to other operating

expenses, reducing EBITDAF by $5 million with no overall impact to profit. There is no impact in the 6 months ended 31 December

2019 or the 6 months ended 31 December 2020 as the significant items in these periods were the movements in the fair value of

financial instruments which continue to be excluded from EBITDAF as described above.

EBITDAF and underlying profit are used to monitor performance and are non-GAAP profit measures.

At 31 December 2020, Contact was committed to $8 million of capital expenditure (31 December 2019: $13 million, 30 June 2020:

$8 million) and $8 million of carbon forward contracts (31 December 2019: $31 million, 30 June 2020: $33 million), all of which are

due within one year of the reporting period end.

Rio Tinto announced on 14 January 2021 that New Zealand’s Aluminium Smelter will continue to operate until the end of 2024, and

Contact has now reached its final investment decision on, and will proceed with, the development of the Tauhara geothermal plant.

Contact is undertaking a strategic review of its thermal assets, from which Taranaki Combined Cycle (TCC) assets with a net book

value of $107 million will be fully depreciated by 31 December 2023.

A useful life review of existing Wairākei assets will also be undertaken in the second half of FY21, allowing for future considerations

of how the existing Wairākei A & B stations will be replaced. This may impact the useful life assessment of Wairākei assets going

forward.

C2. GOODWILL AND ASSET IMPAIRMENT TESTING

Contact has two cash-generating units (CGUs): Wholesale and Customer. The Customer CGU includes goodwill of $179 million (31

December 2019 and 30 June 2020: $179 million), and the Wholesale CGU includes goodwill of $23 million, following acquisition of

Simply Energy Limited in the period (31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020: $nil). Capital work in progress (CWIP) includes $150

million (31 December 2019: $116 million, 30 June 2020: $140 million) related to future generation developments not allocated to a

CGU.

Contact Energy Limited increased its shareholding in Simply Energy Limited to 100% on 31 August 2020, as part of its efforts to

accelerate decarbonisation and provide commercial & industrial customers with valuable, innovative energy solutions. The

provisional goodwill of $23 million reflects the capabilities that Simply provides and includes $7.5 million fair value of expected

performance payments which are linked to decarbonisation and earnings targets (possible performance payments of $nil - $15

million).

No impairments were recognised in the current or prior period. Future cash flows were assessed on the basis that New Zealand’s

Aluminium Smelter continues to operate until the end of 2024, reflecting the Rio Tinto announcement of 14 January 2021. This

supports the carrying value of the CGUs and future generation development CWIP.

Sensitivities

The calculation of the value in use for the CGUs is most sensitive to the wholesale electricity prices and the post-tax discount rate.

The sensitivity of the valuation model to the wholesale electricity prices and discount rate, where all other inputs remain constant,

is as follows:

Significant unobservable inputs Sensitivity Impact $m

Post tax discount rate

-0.5% 540

+0.5% -444

Wholesale electricity price path

+10% 346

-10% -346


The value in use exceeds the carrying value for all sensitivities carried out.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that

causes us to believe that the interim financial statements on

pages 2 to 17 do not:

i. present fairly in all material respects the company’s financial

position as at 31 December 2020 and its financial performance

and cash flows for the six month period ended on that date; and

ii. comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

We have completed a review of the accompanying interim

financial statements which comprise:

• the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020;

• the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity

and cash flows for the six month period then ended; and

Basis for conclusion

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ

SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the

Independent Auditor of the Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”) is a limited

assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures,

consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible

for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and

other review procedures.

As the auditor of Contact Energy Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires

that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the

audit of the annual financial statements.

Our firm has also provided other services to the company in

relation to Trustee reporting and other assurance for Greenhouse

gas emissions reporting, Global Reporting Initiative Indicators and

Green Borrowings Programme reporting. Subject to certain

restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal

with the company on normal terms within the ordinary course of

trading activities of the business of the company. These matters

have not impaired our independence as reviewer of the company.

The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the

company.






Use of this Independent Review Report

This report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our

review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the

shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in

the Independent Review Report and for no other purpose. To the

fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders as a body for

our review work, this report, or any of the opinions we have

formed.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim financial

statements

The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

• the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial

statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting;

• implementing necessary internal control to enable the

preparation of interim financial statements that is fairly

presented and free from material misstatement, whether

due to fraud or error; and

• assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This

includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going

concern and using the going concern basis of accounting

unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations,

or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the review of the interim

financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim

financial statements based on our review. We conducted our

review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410. NZ SRE 2410 requires us

to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that

causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not

prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34

Interim Financial Reporting.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than

those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly,

we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial

statements.
