Reporting entity

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (previously The New Zealand Refining Company Limited, trading as Refining

NZ) (hereinafter as ‘Parent’, ‘Company’, or ‘Channel Infrastructure’) is a profit-oriented company registered under

the Companies Act 1993 and an FMC Reporting Entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013. Channel Infrastructure is listed, and its ordinary shares are quoted under the ticker CHI (previously NZR) on

the NZX Main Board Equity Market (‘NZX Main Board’) and its subordinated notes (ticker CHI010) and corporate

bonds (ticker CHI020) are quoted on the NZX Debt Market.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter ‘financial statements’) for the six months

ended 30 June 2022 presented are those of Channel Infrastructure together with its subsidiaries (‘the Group’).

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control and includes Channel Terminal Services Limited,

Independent Petroleum Laboratory Limited, Maranga Ra Holdings Limited and CHI Future Developments Limited.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements as at and for the six months ended 30 June 2022 comply with the generally accepted

accounting practice in New Zealand (‘NZ GAAP’) and have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalents to International Accounting Standard (‘NZ IAS‘) 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International

Accounting Standard (‘IAS‘) 34: Interim Financial Reporting and, consequently, do not include all the information

required to be disclosed in annual consolidated financial statements. These financial statements should be read

in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Comparatives in the consolidated income statement have been restated due to the presentation of oil refining

activities as ‘discontinued operations’ (refer Note 2 for further information). The financial performance for the six

months to 30 June 2021 reflects the operations of Independent Petroleum Laboratory with revenue reported after

elimination of intercompany transactions with discontinued operations.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are consistent with those used in

the previously published audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December

2021. There were no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 January 2022 that would

have a material impact on the Group.

Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires directors to make certain judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income

and expenses.

The following areas involve judgements, estimates and assumptions that can significantly affect the amounts

recognised in the financial statements:

•Fair value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment – in 2021 the Group adopted the fair value

model as the measurement base for property, plant and equipment (refer to the 2021 financial statements

for further details). The Group reassessed the remaining useful lives of its infrastructure assets effective

from 1 January 2022 resulting in changes to remaining lives of certain assets (refer Note 8 for further

information).

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 (UNAUDITED)


10


• Recoverability of tax losses – in the six months ended 30 June 2022, the Group generated a tax loss of

c.$393.0 million, increasing the balance of total available losses (including losses from prior years) to c.$467

million at 30 June 2022. A deferred tax asset in respect of these unutilised tax losses has been recognised.


On the basis that at least 49% continuity of shareholding is maintained, or if there were to be a breach of

shareholder continuity, that the Company could satisfy the Business Continuity Test (dependent on ‘there

being no major’ or a ‘permitted major’ change in the business), Management and the Board believe that

future taxable profits will be available against which the losses can be offset and therefore the deferred tax

asset realised.


• Provisions – consistent with the 2021 financial statements, the Group continues to recognise several

provisions in relation to the conversion of the refinery into a dedicated fuels import terminal operation (refer

to Note 11 for further information).


• Discontinued operations – in March 2022 the Group ceased refining operations and commenced operations

as a dedicated fuels import terminal from 1 April 2022. This has resulted in the refining cash generating unit

being classified as ‘discontinued operations’.


The results from discontinued operations (as presented in Note 2) include processing fees, pipeline fees and

other refining income earned under the Processing Agreements, and Wiri land and terminal lease income to

31 March 2022, and the associated operating costs.


The results from continuing operations include import terminal fees earned under the Terminal Services

Agreements and Private Storage Agreements and Wiri land and terminal lease income from 1 April 2022, and

the associated operating costs, as well as the results of Independent Petroleum Laboratory for the six

months to 30 June 2022.



1 COVID-19


Pipeline throughputs in the six months ended 30 June 2022 were 1,132 million litres, comparable to the previous

corresponding period and 30% lower than the 2019 corresponding period (pre-COVID-19).


Although pipeline volumes during the period remained lower than pre-COVID-19 levels (predominately due to lower

demand for jet fuel from the Auckland International Airport), following the phased reopening of borders from

February 2022 jet fuel demand has recovered from c.30% to above 50% of pre-COVID-19 levels in July 2022.



2 Discontinued operations


Following the strategic review undertaken by the Company and the Final Investment Decision taken by the Board

to proceed with the conversion to an import terminal (as detailed in the 2021 consolidated financial statements),

the Group ceased refining operations in March 2022, and commenced operations as a dedicated fuels import

terminal from 1 April 2022.


The cessation of refining activities in March 2022 has resulted in refining operations being classified as

‘discontinued operations’, and are outlined in the below table:

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 (UNAUDITED)

11

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows includes the following amounts attributed to discontinued operations:

Total operating and capital costs associated with the refinery’s shutdown and decommissioning, and the import

terminal conversion are expected to be in the range of $200 to $220 million incurred over approximately four

years, and c.$50 to $60 million of demolition costs longer-term. The Company recognised provisions for operating

conversion costs in the 31 December 2021 financial statements – refer to Note 11 for further details of the

movement in these provisions.

3 Income

Import terminal and associated fees are recognised over time as services are delivered. An output method is

applied to measure progress of the services provided. The revenue is recognised in the amounts invoiced,

applying the practical expedient in NZ IFRS 15, reflecting actual volumes delivered, adjusted for minimum fee

(take-or-pay) when applicable.

Rental income from operating leases (including Wiri Oil terminal rental) is recognised on a straight-line basis in

accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.

There is no significant judgement involved in the price determination and allocation. The Group does not have

contracts with customers where significant financing components, non-cash considerations or consideration

payable to customers, obligations for refunds or specific warranties would exist.

4 Segment information

Management reviews the Group’s performance of operating segments primarily based on revenue and adjusted

earnings before depreciation and amortisation, conversion costs, net finance costs and tax expense (‘Adjusted

EBITDA’). For a reconciliation between the Non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, to the reported net profit/loss

after tax refer to Note 16. Assets and liabilities information, depreciation, finance income and costs and income

taxes are managed on a Group basis and are therefore not presented as part of the segment information.

Effective 1 April 2022, Management has identified one reportable segment, Infrastructure, which comprises the

dedicated fuels import terminal system (including jetty infrastructure at Marsden Point, storage tanks, and

Marsden Point to Auckland pipeline), Wiri land and terminal leases and the fuel testing laboratory.

Prior to 31 March 2022, the Group also identified Oil refining segment which was classified as discontinued

following the cessation of refining operations as outlined in Note 2.

6 Equity

The issued capital of the Company is represented by 372,725,917 ordinary shares (31 December 2021:

372,223,477) issued and fully paid, less 1,031,802 (2021: 1,175,163) treasury shares held by CRS Nominees

Limited. All ordinary shares rank equally with one vote attached to each ordinary share.

On 10 May 2022 the Company issued to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 232,991 share rights under the

Company’s Share Rights Plan. The Share Rights will convert on a 1:1 basis for nil cash consideration into fully paid

ordinary shares on the third anniversary of the award (unless extended to the fourth anniversary), subject to the

achievement of the outcomes sought from the material decisions made by the Board as part of the Strategic

Review process, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board. Vesting is also subject to the CEO remaining

employed in her current role except in certain no-fault terminations provided the above performance condition is

satisfied. The shares will be issued (or transferred in accordance with the terms of the Channel Infrastructure

Share Rights Plan) in respect of vested Share Rights as soon as reasonably practicable after vesting.

On 13 April 2022, the Company issued 502,440 ordinary shares, at an issue price of $1.055 per share, pursuant to

the Employee Share Purchase Scheme. The shares are held on trust by CRS Nominees as Trustee until they are

withdrawn by the employees following a restricted period of three years.

The total cost of the shares and share rights under the share schemes (including the Share Rights Plan and

Employee Share Purchase Scheme) recognised in the six months to 30 June 2022 was $1.3 million (30 June 2021:

$0.1 million) with a corresponding increase in Share Scheme Entitlement Reserve, noting that the cost recognised

in 2022 is higher due to some employees being made redundant, which resulted in earlier recognition of the costs

associated with the share schemes.

7 Borrowings

In April 2022 Channel Infrastructure extended $120 million of its existing bank facilities out to December 2023.

In May 2022, Channel Infrastructure issued $100 million of unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed rate retail bonds for a

term of five years, maturing on 20 May 2027. The bonds are quoted on the NZDX. The net proceeds from the retail

bonds provided diversification of funding that aligns with an infrastructure business, and were applied towards

repaying a portion of Channel Infrastructure’s existing bank debt and to replace some of its bank facilities which

were subsequently cancelled.

As at 30 June 2022 the total available debt funding facilities amounted to $375 million (including the Company’s

$75 million subordinated notes and $100 million retail bonds on issue).

The table below outlines the maturity profile of the facilities as at 30 June 2022:

Notes to the Interim Financial Statements
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022 (UNAUDITED)

15

(*) The difference between the carrying value of the subordinated notes and retail bonds and their respective face

values is due to unamortised issue costs and accrued interest. While the expiry of the subordinated notes is on 1

March 2034, the first election date is in March 2024, when the Company may elect to either redeem the notes or to

offer new conditions to the noteholders.

The carrying amounts of bank borrowings approximate their fair value. The borrowings are unsecured. The Parent

borrows under a negative pledge arrangement which requires certain certificates and covenants. All these

requirements have been met and no breaches of these covenants are forecast for the next twelve months.

8 Property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangibles


During the six months ended 30 June 2022 the Group acquired property, plant and equipment with a cost of $18.4

million (31 December 2021: $35.1 million).


The remaining useful lives of the Group’s property, plant and equipment have been reviewed resulting in changes

to the remaining lives of certain import terminal system assets outlined below:




During the six months ended 30 June 2022 the Group has recognised c.$16 million of depreciation expense and

expects to recognise c.$32m (of which c.$8 million is included as part of the discontinued operations) in the 12

months to 31 December 2022, reflective of the impact of the changes of remaining useful lives.


9 Contractual commitments


Commitments are related to asset purchases and other on-going contractual commitments as at the reporting

date but not provided for in the financial statements. As at 30 June 2022 the contractual commitments amounted

to $13.3 million (31 December 2021: $21.5 million).



10 Trade and other receivables and payables


Significant reduction in trade and other receivables and payables results from there being no excise duty

receivable and payable at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: $114.2 million of excise duty receivable and

payable). Following the commencement of import terminal operations, the Marsden Point site is no longer a

Customs Controlled Area and therefore the Company ceased to collect (on behalf of its customers), and to pay

excise duty to New Zealand Customs Service.



11 Provisions


Provisions relate to the costs associated with the refinery decommissioning, demolition and restoration, and

workforce and other provisions – refer Note 15 of the 2021 consolidated financial statements for further details.


During the six months ended 30 June 2022 provisions have reduced by $54.4 million compared to 31 December

2021 due to the following:


- Reduction by c.$46 million due to utilisation of previously recognised provisions (including $25 million of

shut-down and decommissioning costs, and $21 million of workforce transition and other costs);

- Reduction by c.$11 million due to increase in discount rates (including $8 million relating to conversion

provisions and $3 million to other provisions) that now range from 3.3 to 4.2% (31 December 2021: 1.3 to

3.1%); and

- Increase in provisions by c.$3 million, which includes $1 million due to discount unwinding (with the

corresponding impact on financing costs of the discontinued operations).

12 Employee benefits


Employee benefits comprise defined benefit pension and medical plan, wages, salaries, annual leave, and long-

service leave and retirement bonuses. The decrease in employee liabilities at 30 June is principally due to the

lower annual leave liability of the reduced workforce.


Defined benefit pension and medical plan liabilities reduced during the six months ended 30 June 2022 due to a

higher discount rate – 4.1% at 30 June 2022 compared to 2.8% at 31 December 2021. Other actuarial

assumptions used in the 30 June 2022 valuation were largely consistent with those adopted as at 31 December

2021.


The total amount recognised in the Income Statement and Other Comprehensive Income is as follows:





13 Deferred tax


The deferred tax asset in the consolidated balance sheet of $176 million includes $131 million associated in

respect of accumulated tax losses of $467 million. The increase in tax losses in 2022 reflects the crystallisation of

the tax losses associated with the write-off of refining assets after the cessation of refining operations.


The deferred tax liability is predominantly associated with property, plant and equipment which, for accounting

purposes is held at fair value, while for tax purposes at historical cost.


14 Contingencies


Apart from contingencies disclosed in Notes 15 and 24 to the 2021 financial statements, the Group had no

contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2022.


15 Events after balance date


There were no significant events after balance date.


16 Non-GAAP disclosures


Channel Infrastructure’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (NZ GAAP) is net profit/(loss) after tax. Channel Infrastructure has used non-GAAP measures when

discussing financial performance in these financial statements. The Directors and the Management believe that

these measures provide useful information as they are used internally to evaluate segmental and total Group

performance, to establish operating and capital budgets as well as being used for bank covenant purposes.

Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP profit

measures included in this report are not comparable with those used by other companies. They should not be

used in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP profit measures as reported by Channel Infrastructure in accordance

with NZ IFRS. Terms are defined as follows:


Reported EBITDA: Reported earnings before depreciation and disposal costs, finance costs and income

tax.


Adjusted EBITDA Reported EBITDA adjusted for other non-cash expenses and used for bank covenant

purposes.


The below reconciliation is for the results of both continuing and discontinued operations:

NZX RELEASE


25 August 2022


Strong Cash Flow in H1 increases confidence in return to Dividends for FY22

Channel Infrastructure (CHI), New Zealand’s largest fuel infrastructure business based at Marsden Point in

Northland, has today released its financial results for the six-months ended 30 June 2022 (H1 2022).

The financial results reflect discontinued operations of the refinery for the three-months ended 31 March 2022

(Q1 2022) and the continued operations of the import terminal for the three-months to 30 June 2022.


Operational Highlights

• Completed refinery shutdown safely and to plan, despite the challenges of COVID in the community

• First quarter of terminal operations successfully completed with 19 import shipments discharged

• Jet demand at highest level since 2019; demand is currently above 50% of pre-COVID levels and

continuing to recover as borders open and aviation capacity returns

• Conversion project tracking to plan and budget, with decommissioning of the plant 70% complete

and the highest-risk phase of the project over

Financial Highlights

• Strong EBITDA margin from continuing operations of c.66%, demonstrating improved financial

performance under the new operating model

• Significant cash flows funded two-thirds of conversion spend in H1 2022

• Net assets up 5% from $1.33 to $1.40 per share

• Successful retail bond issue completed in May 2022, and bank refinancing well underway to reset

cost of capital

• Performance tracking in line with FY22 guidance, and FY23 EBITDA now expected to be at the top

end of guidance

• Strong cash flow increases confidence in return to dividends in March 2023


Commenting, CEO Naomi James said: “These financial results reflect the transition to Channel Infrastructure

on 1 April, and the stable earnings and cashflows that come with our long-term customer contracts.

Performance is in line with FY22 guidance and FY23 EBITDA is now expected to be at the top of the guidance

range. Our strong cash flow increases our confidence we will return to dividends in March 2023.”


“We have successfully completed our first quarter of import terminal operations and, following the opening up

of New Zealand’s borders, we have seen jet fuel demand rapidly recover to over 50% of pre-COVID levels.

The most complex and risky part of the conversion project with the transition from refinery to terminal

operations is now behind us, and the project remains on-plan and to budget.”


“Work is progressing on a number of growth opportunities, alongside our partners, to support New Zealand’s

fuel security and decarbonisation, by using our highly strategic assets to deliver long-term shareholder value.

With significant underutilised capacity at our site, we are well positioned for the future.”

Strong EBITDA and cash flow supports return to dividends for FY22

Revenue from continuing operations was $29.8 million reflecting the first three-months of terminal operations.

On 1 April, the long-term Terminal Services Agreements with customers bp, Mobil and Z Energy commenced,

with fixed and minimum fee components, which allows time for a recovery in jet fuel demand from COVID

impacts. The strength these contracts provide is reflected in the fact that over 90% of total revenue from

continuing operations was fixed or underpinned by “take-or-pay” fees. Import terminal operating costs were

$10.1 million reflecting energy and utilities (23%), labour (23%) and site operations, and other (54%).

The strong EBITDA margin of c.66% and operating cash flow generation

1

of c.$41 million allowed Channel to

fund two-thirds of conversion spend in H1 2022.

Continuing operations ($m) H1 2022

Revenue 29.8

EBITDA 19.7

Net Profit Before Income Tax 7.8

Net Debt 215.3

Net Assets 522.4


Refining operations ceased in March 2022, and in the last three-months of operation generated revenue of

$69.0 million, and an EBITDA of $26.5 million.

Net Debt increased from $183.6 million as at 31 December 2021 to $215.3 million as at 30 June 2022 as the

refinery’s shutdown, decommissioning, and workforce transition were completed, with $63 million spent in H1

2022. Net assets increased by 5% (from $495.5 million as at 31 December 2021 to $522.4 million as at 30

June 2022) to $1.40 per share.

Successful first quarter of terminal operations with jet fuel recovering to above 50% of pre-COVID

levels

Channel discharged 19 import shipments in Q2 2022 and a total of c.593 million litres was delivered to the

Auckland market through the Marsden Point to Auckland Pipeline, with the balance of c.85 million litres

delivered to Northland via the Truck Loading Facility adjacent to the Terminal.

Diesel demand remained strong in H1, reflecting wider economic activity, and petrol demand showed a rapid

recovery from lockdown impacts, albeit remained slightly below pre-COVID levels due to high pump prices.

Petrol demand has now recovered to pre-COVID levels. As expected, jet fuel demand has recovered with the

reopening of the borders and aviation capacity returning and is now at the highest level since 2019 – currently

at above 50% of pre-COVID levels. Airline capacity constraints are currently limiting the rate of recovery of

aviation. Nonetheless, the potential exists for jet demand to recover faster than previously expected with all

border restrictions lifted.


Significant progress on carbon targets

In April, Channel Infrastructure published its first Sustainability Report, which provided a summary of its

sustainability performance to date and outlined the Company’s ambitious targets for the future. During H1

2022, we have made significant progress towards these targets.


channelnz.com

The extensive workforce transition program continued throughout the period with significant workforce

changes occurring after the refinery shut-down in March. Channel Infrastructure set an ambitious target for at

least 90% of employees seeking new employment securing a job or retraining within six-months of leaving the

Company. This is on-track with greater than 90% of staff who have left in Q2 2022 having found their next

opportunity, and only five still looking for their next opportunity.

Channel Infrastructure is targeting Net Zero scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. The shut-down of the refinery

saw a 98% reduction in 2019 emissions (over one million tonnes of CO

2

per annum). The business has also

seen an 85% reduction in electricity consumption and now has no natural gas requirements – reducing thermal

generation demand and supporting New Zealand’s wider efforts to decarbonise. CO

2

emissions fell to c.27

ktCO

2

in Q2 2022 compared to 222 ktCO

2

in Q1 2022 with further reductions expected in H2 2022.

Our environmental remediation work remains a priority, with ongoing environmental management at Marsden

Point continuing to remediate legacy groundwater hydrocarbons; the flush out and decontamination and

cleaning of plant and equipment ready for demolition and recycling and removal of materials is ongoing, and

included in the decommissioning and terminal plans and budgets.

Conversion project remains on-plan and to budget

Channel Infrastructure successfully commenced operation of New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal at

Marsden Point on 1 April 2022, following the safe shutdown of the refinery in March. Two months of intensive

site works was completed after closure to permanently decommission the refinery assets. The process of plant

decommissioning is now approximately 70% complete, and the plant has been dismantled internally with only

the shells and structures remaining. The highest-risk phase of the project is now behind us.

Over the next nine-months decommissioning works will continue to ensure the main refinery process plant and

remaining tankage facilities are in a safe state for at least 10-years. Concurrently, Channel will continue

terminal upgrades to provide additional jet fuel storage, to improve tanker unloading capacity and to upgrade

its fire-fighting and secondary containment systems.

Conversion costs are tracking to plan, with project spend to the end of July of $84 million

2

. Of the total budget,

more than half has already been spent or committed, reducing the risk of inflation on project costs.

Focused on Growth Opportunities

Channel Infrastructure’s highly-strategic assets opens up many growth opportunities with the significant

industry change, and New Zealand’s decarbonisation ambitions.

As previously announced, work is underway to convert a number of tanks to increase storage capacity for

customers, with further opportunities for additional tank conversions should they be required to meet fuel

storage requirements. With increased fuel storage at Marsden Point, we have the opportunity to support New

Zealand’s fuel security now, and as the Government looks to implement its expected fuel stockholding policy.

This week, Marsden Point received the largest refined product ship to ever visit New Zealand. As the largest

fuels import terminal in the country, Channel Infrastructure is the only location in New Zealand capable of

receiving product tankers of this size, offering customers significant freight savings, and our significant tankage

capacity enables the storage and distribution of the fuels on board, to where customers need it most.

Conversations continue with customers on meeting their requirements to support the importation of BioFuels

ready for the incoming BioFuels Mandate policy, and the study with Fortescue Future Industries (FFI)

investigating the commercial feasibility of green hydrogen production is nearing completion.

Channel Infrastructure recently opened a Request for Information process to secure long-term low-cost

electricity supply, which will be an important opportunity to reduce electricity costs which make up one-quarter

of terminal operating costs. The Maranga Ra onsite solar project provides a unique opportunity to establish

renewable capacity, at significantly lower-cost than the market is currently delivering. With resource consents


channelnz.com

already in place at Marsden Point, and available transmission capacity, the project can be developed much

faster than most other solar projects being proposed.

Focus on diversifying funding sources and aligning cost of funds with an infrastructure business

Net debt increased to $215.3 million as the conversion activities were delivered in H1 2022, and debt is

expected to peak around the end of 2023. Existing debt facilities of $375 million are sufficient to fund the

remaining conversion costs, with c.$160 million of liquidity headroom available at 30 June and no significant

near-term maturities.

Channel Infrastructure is focused on diversifying its funding sources and improving funding competitiveness,

with the objective of lowering its cost of debt, consistent with an infrastructure business. In May, $100 million

of unsecured retail bonds were issued. Bank refinancing is well progressed to align with the infrastructure

business profile. The currently drawn bank debt is fixed, providing funding cost certainty and protection in the

increasing interest rate environment.

Performance in line with FY22 guidance and FY23 EBITDA tracking towards top end of guidance

range

Looking forward performance is tracking in line with FY22 guidance, Channel Infrastructure will continue to

benefit from the stable earnings that the import terminal operating model provides. Import terminal fees

commenced from 1 April and are expected to contribute c.$75 million for the 9-months of the terminal

operation. Total operating costs

3

are expected to be c.70 million for 2022, with $53 million spent to the end of

June (including $43 million on discontinued operations, and $10 million on continued operations). As the

conversion project progresses, we expect borrowings to increase, and average to c.$220 - $230million.

Looking beyond 2022, Channel Infrastructure is now expecting FY23 normalised EBITDA, from continuing

operations, to be at the top end of its guidance range of $76 - $84 million. Channel Infrastructure will benefit

from the Producer Price Index (PPI) indexation from 1 January 2023 as all fees earned under terminal services

agreements and private storage agreements (making up c.90% of total revenue) will be subject to indexation

based on 12 monthly inflation to 30 September 2022, pro-rated for nine-months. PPI for the nine months ended

30 June 2022 was 6.6%, which implies an additional c.$7 million of revenue. Electricity remains a key cost to

the business, and therefore, management remains focused on work to reduce electricity costs, to maximise

earnings from the business.


Strong cash flows increase confidence in return to dividends in March 2023

The Board confirms its dividend policy pay-out of 60-70% of Free Cash Flow (being adjusted net cash

generated from operations less maintenance capex)

4

which supports achieving target Net Debt of 3x to 4x

EBITDA, consistent with an investment grade rating. The first opportunity for a dividend will be in March 2023

after the FY22 financial results, provided net debt is below 4.5x EBITDA.

The Company expects net debt to be below 4x EBITDA at year end, and, indicatively, Free Cash Flow

(excluding growth capex and conversion costs) from the terminal in May and June of c.$9 million would equate

to a FY22 dividend of c.6cps at the mid-point of the dividend pay-out range.


Conference Call

Channel Infrastructure’s Chief Executive Officer, Naomi James, and Chief Financial Officer, Jarek Dobrowolski

will give a presentation on the company's financial and operational performance for H1 2022 via a webcast

commencing on Thursday 25 August 2022 at 11:30am NZT.
