Commenting, Chair James Miller said: “During 2022 we successfully reset to our new sustainable business
model, as New Zealand’s leading fuel infrastructure company. As a result, we have today reported the
Company’s first profit in over three years and recommenced a dividend for shareholders. With the
successful refinancing of debt lowering our cost of funding, the Company is well placed for the many
opportunities that exist for future growth.”
Commenting, CEO Naomi James said: “I’m proud that we have delivered in full on our commitments in
2022 and have successfully transitioned to our new business model, safely and to budget, while also
supporting our workforce through significant changes. We now have a company with a long-term
sustainable business model and a focused growth strategy.”
“The successful transformation of this business, the results we achieved in 2022, and the sustainable
business model we now have in place would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication
of the entire Marsden Point team. It has been a privilege to lead such a team over the last three years, and
I know that under Rob’s leadership the Channel Infrastructure team will continue to work hard to make the
most of the exciting growth opportunities ahead.”
Incoming CEO Rob Buchanan said “It will be my first priority to continue our focus on the safe, resilient and
efficient operation of the terminal, while delivering on the strategy already set out for the company, seeking
to grow shareholder value through continuing to optimise and grow our business following the
commencement of import terminal operations last year. The importance of Channel’s critical fuel
infrastructure has never been clearer, with the latest outlook for stronger future fuel demand and the New
Zealand Government’s package of fuel security measures requiring additional fuel storage, which presents
a great opportunity for our business. We have a big and exciting year ahead as we look to seize the
compelling opportunities ahead of us, and deliver further shareholder value from our Marsden Point site.”
Successful nine months of import terminal operations and new business model in place
On 1 April 2022, the business safely and successfully transitioned from refinery to terminal operations.
Channel Infrastructure has successfully completed nine months of terminal operations with 56 import
shipments discharged and over 2.2b litres of terminal throughput. With the closure of the refinery,
Channel’s Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions have reduced by over 98% and we received the first shipment of
sustainable aviation fuel through Marsden Point.
Through 2022, aviation demand had recovered to 70% of pre-COVID levels prior to the most recent weather
impacts. Diesel demand has remained strong and petrol demand recovered through the year as COVID
restrictions were lifted.
Channel Infrastructure successfully lowered its cost of funding, reflecting the reset of its business model to
an infrastructure company with stable earnings and cashflows, with the refinancing of the bank debt in
November 2022, together with the Retail Bond offer in May 2022.
The conversion project continues to track to plan and to budget, with project spend until the end of
December 2022 of $114 million. With some 65% of the budget either spent or committed, the project is now
significantly de-risked.
In addition to 180m litres of shared terminal capacity, over half of the almost 100m litres of contracted
private storage has now been commissioned, with the remainder anticipated to be available around mid-
2023. Additional terminal storage was contracted in the second half of the year, which is expected to deliver
c$25m of additional revenue over 5 years.
Focused on delivering Growth Opportunities with stronger fuel demand outlook
In November, the New Zealand government announced its package of fuel security measures, and detailed
policy design is currently underway focused on increasing the amount of fuels held in country to support
greater fuel supply chain resilience. With its tank capacity and pipeline direct to Auckland, Marsden Point
is well placed to support the incoming minimum Domestic Stockholding Obligation (DSO) and 70m litre
domestic diesel fuel reserve announced by Government to ensure New Zealand’s fuel security.
With more clarity around the COVID-19 recovery, late last year Channel Infrastructure sought to update its
future fuel demand outlooks prepared by fuel industry experts Hale & Twomey. The throughput of
Channel’s facilities is expected to change over time to meet changing consumer demands, with the shift to
electric vehicles, biofuels and continuing growth in aviation. With the latest update showing stronger
demand for jet fuel and diesel, this outlook confirms a clear path for long term utilisation of Channel’s jetties,
tanks, and pipeline direct to Auckland to supply increasingly renewable jet fuel and diesel to Auckland and
Northland, long in the future.
Commenting, Naomi James said: “Improving supply chain resilience is a priority for New Zealand. With jet
fuel demand forecast to recover from COVID impacts more quickly than previously expected, and to
continue to grow, it is critical for Government and industry to work together to implement the Government’s
fuel security package and address the outstanding recommendations of the 2017 RAP disruption incident”.
First Channel dividend will be paid less than a year after conversion
With a strong normalised Free Cash Flows and net debt to EBITDA ratio within the targeted range, the
Board today declared its first dividend as Channel Infrastructure. The Board have declared a fully imputed
dividend at 70% pay-out applied for 9 months of terminal operations, resulting in a fully imputed final
dividend of 5 cents and a fully imputed special dividend of 2 cents per share. The dividend declared implies
an annualised dividend yield of 6.5%. The dividend will be paid on 20 March 2023, with a record date of 10
March 2023.
Upgraded FY23 guidance provided in November 2022 confirmed
With funding costs reset and largely hedged in 2023 and long-term contracts indexed to PPI, Channel
Infrastructure is protected and benefits in the current inflationary environment. PPI indexation on revenue
is more than offsetting the inflationary impacts in the cost base, and with additional private storage
contracted, in November last year Channel upgraded its 2023 financial guidance. For 2023 revenue is
expected in the range of $125 million to $128 million and EBITDA guidance of $82 - $86 million, with an
indicative dividend range of 9 – 11 cents per share.
Conference Call
Channel Infrastructure’s Chief Executive Officer, Naomi James, Chief Financial Officer, Jarek Dobrowolski
and Incoming Chief Executive Officer Rob Buchanan, will give a presentation on the company's financial
and operational performance for FY2022 via a teleconference commencing on Friday 24 February at

•Refinanced $205m of bank debt, achieving tenor spread across 3-5 years and a
reduction in bank funding cost
•Debt facilities of $380m withsignificant liquidity headroom available ($123m as at31
December 2022) –together with operating cash flows, this provides sufficient capacity
to fund the remainder of conversion costs and investment in private storage
•Expected debt will peak at around $70m to $90m above 31 December 2022 level in next
12-18 months
•97% of end of year net debt was fixed, with significant hedge protection in the following

21
[1] Guidance is for terminal operations (classified as continuing operations) and excludes discontinued operations
(i.e.one-off conversion cost opexand capex of $200-220 million), private storage capex ($45-50 million) and
additional terminal storage ($7m), with no change in guidance for these projects. Guidance also excludes any opex
and capex associated with new growth opportunities.
[2] Based on expected average level of borrowings of c.$300 million in FY23, debt hedge profile (refer previous page)
and current Bank Bill Rate (BKBM) for unhedged debt. Excludes capitalisedinterest, amortisationof upfront bank
fees and issue costs, and other non-cash financing costs (i.e.unwinding of interest associated with provisions)
[3] Previous capex guidance of $5-12m reflected a range of capex expected across the initial 10-year contract term and
excluded growth and one-off conversion capital expenditure
[4] Based on contracted electricity supply at an average cost of $215/MWh and assuming transmission and distribution
costs of $4m
[6] Includes Wiri assets’ depreciation of c$6m p.a. until early 2025.

Stronger demand expected for Channel’s infrastructure over the long term
26
•Updated Hale & Twomey fuel outlook confirms a
faster jet fuel demand recovery, and materially
higher jet and diesel demand over the long-term
•Strong growth in demand for jet fuel is
expected to continue reaching pre-COVID
levels by 2026
•Diesel substitution likely to take longer
than previously expected in some sectors
•Petrol demand declines as previously
forecast as light vehicle fleet electrifies
•Terminal revenue now estimated above Take-or-
Pay in 2025 as terminal volumes rise above c.3.4
billion litres, with every 0.1 billion litres volume
increasing revenue by c.$1.6m p.a. (pre-inflation)
•Existing Marsden Point to Auckland pipeline
capacity is sufficient to meet projected demand,
with growth in aviation fuels offset by decline in
land fuels
•Increasing volume of renewable fuels expected
through Channel’s infrastructure as biodiesel and
SAF
[1]
–which can utilise existing infrastructure –
enter the fuel mix
[1] The ‘Indicative renewables portion’ includes biodiesel volume
impact if a mandate was to be implemented as initially proposed
(now rescinded), and indicative SAF volumes (not provided by H&T)
aligned with Air NZ targets (10% by 2030, and along with zero-
emission aircraft contribute to 70% emission reductions by 2050)
[2] 2023 forecast includes assumed SAF volumes, these were
excluded in 2021 outlook.
[2]
Slower diesel substitution forecast
25
Petrol
•Hale & Twomey outlook for petrol demand to peak in near-term -reflecting increasing
electrification of the Light Vehicle fleet, and a gradual shift in travel behaviour
•Recent government incentives delivering faster electrification of light vehicle fleet
than previously anticipated. Outlook assumes electrification rate consistent with 2022
CCC modelling
•Marsden Point volumes anticipated to be c.5% higher if ethanol not utilisedin supply
mix
[1]
Diesel
•Hale & Twomey outlook for higher near-term and longer tail of demand for diesel than
previous outlook (2021)
•slower transition than petrol –electrification to commence in the light vehicle
fleet (utesand vans), followed by light trucks and buses
•diesel substitution more challenging in agriculture, fishing & forestry and heavy
transport sectors
•Biodiesel substitution possible -with second generation biodiesel utilisingexisting
infrastructure
[2]
.
[1] Modelling assumption: biofuels obligation implemented (mandate currently rescinded, but improved transport intensity
target remains) with ethanol blended at 10% into regular petrol, bypassing Channel’s infrastructure
[2] Modelling assumption: biofuels obligation implemented with renewable diesel blended into pool, utilisingexisting
infrastructure
Faster than expected recovery in jet fuel
28
•Initial recovery in demand more than just a temporary release
of ‘pent up travel demand’ from closed borders:
•near doubling
[1]
in Auckland jet fuel demand as borders
reopened from February 2022
•Auckland International Airport expects recovery in
passenger numbers to pre-COVID levels by 2025
•Aligned with Hale & Twomey, who expect jet demand to
return to pre-COVID levels by 2026, with lag reflecting
fleet fuel efficiency improvements
•Forecasts assume 25% of regional jet demand to be electric
by 2040, 10% of short-haul demand to be met by hydrogen by
2050 –limited impact on total jet fuel demand, which is driven
by long-haul and extra-long-haul flights

Improving supply chain resilience is a priority for New Zealand
29
•Minimum domestic stockholding obligation (DSO) proposed by
NZ Government has a key role to play in improving resilience
•Fuel storage capacity has increased through transition from
refinery to import supply chain
•Marsden Point fuel storage capacity is higher today
than whenoperating as a refinery -65% increase in
diesel, 40% increase in jet
•More jet storage capacitywill be available once
additional contractedprivate storage is commissioned
later this year, with capacity to addmore
•With strong jet recovery from COVID impacts underway,
addressing 2019 RAP inquiry recommendations is now a
priority
•Recommendations sitting with Channel –to improve
surveillance along the pipeline and improve
communication with landowners, neighboursand the
community -have been completed
•In November 2022, the NZ Government announced its final resiliency
plan designed to ensure fuel supply resilience by holding more stocks
onshore
•Government procurement of 70ML strategic diesel reserve
•Minimum onshore fuel stockholding obligation for fuel
wholesalers
•MBIE currently consulting with industry on the final policy design, and
have issued RFI for 70ML Diesel reserve (storage and stock) that
Government intends to procure
•Marsden Point is ideally placed to support fuel resilience measures:
•working with government on accelerating the establishment of
70ML domestic dieselfuel reserve –timing & cost advantage
from existing tank capacity and high throughput terminal (enables
product turnover)
•potential need for increased storage capacity to meet minimum
stockholding policy and provide a resilient supply chain for
growing jet fuel demand
•Over 400MLof unutilisedtank capacity available at Marsden Point

Delivering to shareholders
•Dividend recommenced less than a year post-conversion –ahead of indications at the time of the August 2021
shareholder vote
•Strength of cash flows, de-risked conversion project, refinanced debt facilities and leverage within the targeted
range provided Board with confidence in returning to dividends from FY22
•Board approved Dividend policy (a pay-out of 60-70% of normalised Free Cash Flows, being adjusted for net cash
generated from operations less maintenance capex, excluding conversion costs and growth capex)
[1]
•Declared a fully imputed dividend (at top end of pay-out of 70% applied for 9 months of terminal operations) of:
•Final dividend of 5 cents,
•Special dividend of 2 cents.
•Implied (annualised) dividend yield of 6.5%
[2]
as at31 December 2022
•Dividend payable on 20 March 2023, with record date on 10 March 2023
•FY23 guidance implies anindicative dividend range of 9–11 cps, with targeted 40:60 split between interim and
final dividend
[1] The dividend policy is subject to the Board’s due consideration of the Company’s medium term asset investment programme; a sustainable financial structure for Channel Infrastructure, recognisingthe
targeted investment grade rating; and the risks from short and medium term economic and market conditions and estimated financial performance. It is the intention of the Board to attach imputation credits to
dividends to the extent that they are available.

operations of the fuels' import terminal for the
nine months ended 31 December 2022 and the
discontinued operations of the refinery for the three
months ended 31 March 2022 . The transition to a
new business model during the 2022 year limits the
comparability of the current financial results with the
previous corresponding period. This Annual Report also
includes an overview of the Company’s Strategy and
Corporate Governance Framework and includes the
annual Remuneration Report.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
During 2022 we successfully reset to our new
sustainable business model, as New Zealand’s
leading fuel infrastructure company. As a result
of our transition, the Company has reported a
profit and declared our
first
dividend to shareholders.
2022 was a year of huge change for our business, as we
deliver
ed on the outcomes of the 2020 Strategic Review,
safely transitioning from refinery to terminal operations.
Channel Infrastructure is a company that now has a
long-term sustainable business model, which can deliver
stable earnings with a focussed growth strategy to
continue to grow shareholder value.
We play a critical role in New Zealand’s fuels
infras
tructure supply chain, providing New Zealand’s
largest transport fuels storage capacity, and the only
supply route for jet fuel to Auckland International
Airport. The long-term contracts that we have
negotiated with strong credit counterparts, give us stable
earnings and strong Free Cash Flows. With our funding
costs now reset and terminal revenue indexed at PPI,
we are strongly placed in the current environment to
deliver strong and stable earnings and cash flow from
our business, underpinning our return to dividends this
year. Our change in operations has been supported
by our customers bp, Mobil, and Z Energy (100 per cent
owned by Ampol), and we are thankful for their support
as we worked together to make this major change in New
Zealand’s fuel supply chain.
Transition to a new Chief Executive
Officer following the business transition to
Channel Infr
astructure
Naomi James was appointed at the start of 2020 to
re
set the business on a path to deliver sustainable
returns to shareholders. Having successfully completed
the transition from Refining NZ to Channel Infrastructure,
in November last year the Board began the transition
from Naomi’s transformation-focused leadership to Rob
Buchanan. Rob has deep experience in the energy
and infrastructure sector and will continue to execute
and deliver on Channel Infrastructure’s strategy and
plan to drive the business forward. Rob’s extensive
experience and leadership style is ideal to continue
Channel Infrastructure’s journey to become a world-class
operator of terminal and pipeline assets, and position the
company to prosper in a decarbonising world.
13
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
Naomi's leadership during the most difficult time in the
company’
s history was nothing short of first-class. I join
the entire Board in thanking Naomi for her dedication,
perseverance, and leadership of the company over the
past three years. Naomi joined us at a time of immense
uncertainty for the business. With her leadership,
the company undertook a comprehensive strategic
review to determine a long-term sustainable business
model, and successfully delivered the transformation to
Channel Infrastructure. Naomi leaves us with a long-
term sustainable business model in place, a range of
exciting growth opportunities ahead, and a talented and
committed team at Marsden Point.
Rob joined the team on 31 January 2023, and will take
o
ver as CEO from 6 March 2023. Following a hand-over
period, Naomi will depart the company on 1 April 2023.
A new business model requires different
skills at the Board table
Reflecting the Board’s commitment to strong and
e
ffective governance, we undertook a Corporate
Go
vernance Review in 2022 to update the company’s
corporate governance model, structures, and processes
to reflect
the transition to Channel Infrastructure and an
import terminal business.
With a different
business, also came the need for a new
set of skills around the Board table. Our Board requires
a focus on deep capability as a public company as well
as strategic experience in the fuel industry. Reflecting
this, we saw John Bourke, who brought particular refining
expertise to the Board, resign from the Board at the
Annual Shareholders Meeting. Following the completion
of the Corporate Governance Review, Simon Allen
stepped down as Chair from 1 July 2022. As the new
Chair, I want to take this opportunity to thank Simon
for leading the company through its fundamental reset
and John for the insights and experience he brought to
the Refining NZ Board as the company safely shut down
refining operations and converted to the import terminal.
In April 2022, we were joined by Andy Holmes, who has
ext
ensive fuel sector experience, and Anna Molloy, who
brings finance and audit experience to the Board. I am
confident we have a strong and capable Board who
have the right skill set to support our management team
and drive our strategy forward – seizing the growth
opportunities before us, providing the infrastructure to
support New Zealand’s decarbonisation, and lowering
our cost of capital.
Following on from the Corporate Governance Review, we
engaged Pr
opero Consulting in late 2022 to undertake
an evaluation review of the Board. This Propero review
provided valuable insights and recommended actions
as we continually strive for improvement in governance
performance and outcomes.
Increasing shareholder value,
re
commencing dividends and focused
growth opportunities
During 2022 we announced our capital allocation
frame
work to grow shareholder value by delivering
both dividends and growth. With the stability that now
comes from our long-term contracts, and the confidence
the transition is running to plan, we have returned to
dividends with a policy of paying out 60 to 70 per
cent of normalised Free Cash Flows. This leaves us with
30 to 40 per cent for deleveraging and growth. We
have declared our first dividend as Channel Infrastructure
being a fully imputed final dividend of 5 cents per share
and a fully imputed special dividend of 2 cents per share,
representing a pay-out at the top end of the dividend
policy range. The dividend will be paid on 20 March 2023,
with a record date on 10 March 2023.
With the refinancing
of our bank debt in November
2022, together with the Retail Bond offer in May
2022, we have been successful in lowering our cost
of funding, reflecting the reset of our business model
to an infrastructure company with stable earnings and
cash flows. This refinancing programme has established
Channel Infrastructure’s strong presence in both bank
and bond markets, which will support future growth
plans and provide opportunity to continue to lower the
Company’s cost of capital.
Channel Infrastructure is
a company that now has
a long-term sustainable
business model, which can
deliver stable earnings with
a focused growth strategy to
continue to grow shareholder
value.
14
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
The Board and Management are also focussed on
gro
wing shareholder value through the delivery of growth
opportunities. We have already contracted private
storage that is expected to deliver c. $9 million (real)
per year over the 10-year contract term, and additional
terminal storage revenue was contracted in late 2022
and is expected to deliver c.$25 million of additional
revenue over the next five years. Furthermore, we are
progressing our plans to reduce electricity costs through
long-term supply, and to use our Marsden Point site
to support the Government’s planned 70 million litre
strategic diesel reserve.
Our strategy is clear, and we are excited by the future
opportunitie
s for growth that utilise the highly strategic
assets and infrastructure of our business, in the near to
medium term.
Well-placed in the current
inflationary environment
W
ith our funding costs reset and our long-term contracts
index
ed to PPI, we are protected and benefit
in
the current inflationary environment. PPI indexation on
re
venue is more than offsetting the inflationary impacts
we are seeing in our cost base. The continued execution
of our growth strategy including the contracting of
additional terminal storage, allowed us to update our
detailed 2023 financial guidance in November last year.
For 2023, we are expecting revenue in the range of
$125 - $128 million (previous guidance: $116 - $120 million)
and EBITDA guidance increased from $76 - $84 million to
$82 - $86 million, increasing the indicative dividend range
from 8 –11 cents per share to 9 –11 cents per share.
Thank you shareholders
Your Board appreciates the continued support of
shar
eholders' throughout the Strategic Review and reset
of the fundamentals of this business.
With this period of change now behind us, and
the recommencement o
f dividends, we would like
to acknowledge shareholders patience and support
through this time and to thank you for your loyalty.
In a year when the NZX50G
index declined 12%, it was
extremely pleasing that our
new business model and
delivery of strategic initiatives
resulted in a 52% share price
increase in 2022, following
the 71% increase in 2021. We
can now look to the future with
confidence.

Chief Executive Officer
Letter from

16
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
I’m proud that we have delivered on our commitments to
you in 2
022 and have successfully transitioned to our new
business model, safely and to budget, while also supporting our
workforce through significant change. We now have a company
with a long-
term sustainable business model and a focussed
growth strategy.
When I joined the business in 2020, we had a huge
challenge ahead of us as w
e embarked on the Strategic
Review to determine the best way forward for the
business. The Refining NZ business model was no longer
a sustainable option. This was evident through the
period of historically low refining margins, with structural
challenges to the competitiveness of the refinery
compared to newer and larger Asian refineries, high costs
of operating in New Zealand (including high electricity,
gas and carbon costs) and the strong preference of
our customers to move to a more competitive import
supply chain.
Not only did we successfully complete the extremely
challenging and complex job t
o transition from Refining
NZ to Channel Infrastructure, but we now have a long-
term sustainable business model in place, alongside a
range of exciting growth opportunities ahead. With this
significant transformation complete and a clear strategy
in place, now is the right time to transition to a new CEO
with deep experience in the energy and infrastructure
sector to take the new business forward. I am excited to
be shortly handing over to Rob Buchanan, on 6 March
2023. I know Rob well, and I know he will be a good
fit
to take the business forward and to seize the growth
opportunities ahead of this great company.
New business model delivers
impro
ved financial performance
Revenue from continuing operations was $88 million
reflecting the
first nine months of terminal operations. On
1 April 2022, the long-term Terminal Services Agreements
with customers bp, Mobil and Z Energy commenced, with
fixed and minimum fee components, which supports debt
funding of the conversion costs and allows time for a
recovery in jet fuel demand from COVID-19 impacts. The
strength of these contracts is reflected in the fact that 94
per cent of total revenue from continuing operations was
fixed or underpinned by “take-or-pay” fees and almost
90 per cent of revenue was subject to annual PPI-based
indexation. Channel Infrastructure has delivered its first
profit of $17 million in three years from continuing
operations, reflecting the improved financial profile of
the business. The strong EBITDA margin of 65 per cent
and strong cash flow generation have given the Board
confidence to now recommence dividend payments.
17
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
Successful nine months of import
terminal oper
ations
Channel Infrastructure successfully completed nine
months of t
erminal operations. Imported fuel of 2,215ML
has flowed through our terminal infrastructure in its
first nine months of operation and been delivered to
Auckland and Northland markets as planned.
I’m proud to say that we are well-progressed with
completion o
f conversion project works. Following many
months of extensive planning and preparation, our
capable team safely ran the refinery to shutdown,
transitioned to import terminal operations and
collaborated with customers to establish new ways of
working while also supporting our staff and community
through this significant change. Now, almost a year
on, we remain on plan and to budget and with some
65 per cent of the budget either spent or committed,
the project is significantly de-risked. While works remain
ongoing on site, the most
significant activity will conclude
mid-2023 with the commissioning of remaining private
storage capacity.
Undertaking this highly complex transition safely and to
plan is a credit t
o our entire team at Marsden Point and
something we are all very proud of.
In late December, rigorous testing processes at Marsden
Point
identified an off-specification jet import cargo and
ensured this fuel was not distributed further along the
supply chain. This incident highlighted the importance
of there being minimum stocks in country at any time
to provide an adequate buffer to potential supply
disruptions. We continue to work with our customers and
Government on steps to improve supply chain resilience.
Environmental & social responsibility
Our 2022 Sustainability Report provides an update on
how w
e are making significant progress against all of the
ambitious sustainability targets we set for ourselves and
what our future priorities will continue to be. We have
delivered on our commitment to significantly reduce our
direct emissions. We are also supporting our customers,
who can now access lower carbon fuel options, to bring
down their emissions. Throughout we have been working
hard to ensure the highly skilled and dedicated workforce
who were impacted by our transformation had access
to the support they need for their own transition to new
opportunities outside of the business. I am proud that
following an extensive programme of workforce transition
support, 97 per cent of those who have left the business
have been supported into their next opportunity.
Growth opportunities
As an infrastructure provider, Channel Infrastructure has
a critical role t
o play in New Zealand’s energy transition
and our new business model has already opened up a
number of growth opportunities.
As of today, we have commissioned over half of our
exis
ting private storage commitments, with the rest
set to come online later this year which will increase
fuel storage capacity at Marsden Point by 45 million
litres. This important work is offering customers more
opportunity for onshore fuel storage, which is critical to
building New Zealand’s supply chain resilience.
The New Zealand Government has now commenced an
RFI to s
eek proposals for a 70ML domestic diesel fuel
reserve for New Zealand, providing further opportunity
to make use of the significant unutilised storage
capacity that exists at Marsden Point. The New Zealand
Government is also working on the implementation of a
new minimum Domestic Stockholding Obligation (DSO)
for the fuel industry, which we anticipate will generate
additional storage requirements. Our work to secure
affordable, long-term electricity supply for Marsden Point
and explore the potential for future sustainable aviation
fuel and hydrogen production is also progressing.
With more clarity around the COVID-19 recovery, late
last y
ear we began the process of updating our fuel
demand forecasts. The updated Hale & Twomey fuel
outlook, outlined in more detail in our Sustainability
Report, confirms a faster jet fuel recovery and more
persistent jet and diesel demand than previous forecasts.
Terminal revenue is now estimated to be above take-
or-pay levels from 2025 as terminal volumes rise above
c.3.4 billion litres. Every additional 100 million litres of
throughput increases revenue by an estimated $1.6 million
per annum (pre-inflation).
18
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
The updated fuel demand outlook includes biofuels
for the
first time and an updated assessment of the
decarbonisation pathway for fuel. Petrol demand is
expected to peak and start to decline in the near-
term with more electric vehicles and use of biofuels.
Diesel will transition more slowly, with a gradual increase
in biofuels and the electrification of light commercial
vehicles and buses, with the transition of heavy transport
to electric and hydrogen expected to take longer. The
decarbonisation of the aviation industry is expected to
largely be driven by the gradual substitution of petroleum
jet fuel with Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Importantly,
second-generation renewable fuels, including SAF and
biodiesel, are drop-in fuels that can be handled by
Channel’s existing infrastructure, and the changes in
expected fuel demand mean that over time, the volume
of renewable fuels being handled through Channel’s
infrastructure is expected to grow and make up an
increasing proportion of our throughput.
As you have seen over the last three years, the team
at Mars
den Point are highly capable and dedicated,
and I know that under Rob Buchanan's leadership of the
business, they will work hard to make the most of the
growth opportunities ahead of this company.
Thank you
As my time with this great business draws to a close,
I want t
o pay tribute and thank the many partners,
stakeholders, shareholders, lenders and customers who
have been on this journey of transformation with us. Your
support has been critical to making this transition
a success.
I want to thank and acknowledge our Board for their
const
ant support and guidance for me over the last few
years. I especially want to thank everyone working at
Marsden Point, both past and present, for their work in
helping to transform Channel Infrastructure and to set up
this business for a strong and exciting future ahead. I am
proud to have worked alongside all of you, thank you.
The successful transformation
of this business, the results we
achieved in 2022, and
the sustainable business model
we now have in place would not
have been possible without
the hard work and dedication
of the entire Marsden Point
team, who have given this
business their all each and
every day.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
I am delighted to be joining Channel Infrastructure
at this important time.
Since joining at the end of January 2023, I have been
impre
ssed with the clear vision and the highly capable
team at Channel Infrastructure, who are working hard to
deliver on our plans for the future. The business is in great
shape, and it’s a real tribute to our outgoing CEO, Naomi
James, and the wider team at Channel Infrastructure,
who have worked hard to transform the company during
an extremely challenging period of time.
Going forward, I’m delighted to be working alongside the
team at Mar
sden Point, as we leverage the company’s
highly strategic and critical infrastructure in order to
capture the significant opportunities ahead of us.
It will be my first
priority to continue our focus on
safe, resilient and efficient operation of the terminal
while delivering on the strategy already set out for
the company, seeking to grow shareholder value
through continuing to optimise our business following
the commencement of import terminal operations last
year, while delivering on our aspiration to be a world-
class terminal.
Our business plays a critical role in New Zealand’s
fuels infras
tructure supply chain, providing New Zealand’s
largest transport fuels storage capacity, and the only
supply route for jet fuel to Auckland Airport. We are
committed to supporting our customers and the New
Zealand Government with domestic fuel storage which
provides a buffer in the event of supply chain disruptions.
In addition to this we will begin the next phase of
Channel Infras
tructure’s growth plans, looking to support
both the integrity of New Zealand’s fuel security of supply
and the decarbonisation of the fuels' supply chain.
The opportunities for Channel Infrastructure to leverage
its unique and highly s
trategic asset base as New
Zealand navigates the energy transition are significant
– and I’m really excited to be part of bringing our plans
to fruition in coming years.
We have a big and exciting year ahead as we look
to s
eize the compelling opportunities ahead of us, and
deliver further shareholder value from our Marsden Point
site. I am looking forward to meeting you at our
upcoming Annual Shareholders' Meeting in April.

Revenue
Channel Infrastructure's primary source of revenue comes
fr
om the f
ees earned under the Terminal Services
Agreements, of which 45 per cent is fixed and the
remainder is throughput related fees, for the Marsden
Point to Auckland pipeline, pipeline to the Truck Loading
Facility and wharfage. Fees under the Terminal Services
Agreements are subject to take-or-pay commitments,
set at $100 million per annum (real) for the first three
years, ($75 million pro-rated for the nine months to
31 December 2022) underpinning revenue while jet fuel
demand continues to recover post COVID-19. Total "take-
or-pay" top-up payments made in the nine months
ended 31 December 2022 amounted to $5 million.
All fees are subject to PPI escalation with a one-year
lag (i.e
. 2022 inflation applying to 2023 fees charged)
which provides a high degree of protection in the current
inflationary environment.
Additional revenue is earned through Private Storage
Agreement
s. Private storage fees are capacity-based
(i.e. independent of throughput), with FY2022 revenue of
$3 million. Private storage fees are expected to increase
to a full run-rate around mid-2023 as the last tank
conversions are completed, generating private storage
revenue of c.$9 million (real) per annum. In addition,
newly contracted terminal revenue is expected to deliver
revenue of c.$25 million over five years.
The $6
million p.a. of Wiri lease fees will continue until
February 2025 when the lease expires.
In total, 94 per cent of Channel’s total revenue in FY22
was underpinned b
y fixed or "take-or-pay" fees.

Operating Costs
Channel Infrastructure's largest costs are electricity and
payr
oll, t
ogether making up 50 per cent of total
operating costs.
Total electricity costs reduced significantly with an
almos
t 90 per cent reduction in electricity consumption
as a result of the transition from refinery to import
terminal operations. However, unit costs remain high,
with transmission and distribution charges yet to reset
for the reduced terminal load. Electricity costs in FY22
for the terminal comprised c.$120/MWh for supply and
c.$4 million for transmission and distribution. As outlined
on page 26, a key strategic imperative is to lower the cost
of electricity supply in the future.
Labour costs reflect the salary and other employee
cos
ts of the c.70 import terminal, laboratory and
corporate staff.
Administration and other costs comprise insurance, IT,
rat
es and governance costs.
Materials and contractor payments relates to the cost of
sit
e and asset maintenance.

Depreciation
A useful life review of all terminal assets was completed
during the y
ear
, which - based on the current asset base
as at 31 December 2022 - will result in an ongoing annual
depreciation of c.$34-$35 million p.a. (including Wiri asset
depreciation of c.$6 million until early 2025).
Financing Costs
The effective
interest rate applying in the nine months
ended 31 December 2022 was 6.6 per cent (higher
due to line fees paid on undrawn bank facilities) and
approximately 97.0 per cent of Channel Infrastructure’s
debt as at 31 December 2022 was fixed, providing
funding cost certainty and protection in the high interest
rate environment. A successful retail bond issue and
bank refinancing has reset the cost of debt for 2023,
aligned with the infrastructure business.
Discontinued Operations
A net loss after tax of ($5)
million is reported from
discontinued operations in 2022 which reflects the results
from refining operations. This includes $70 million of
revenue received in Q1 under the processing agreements
comprising of $47 million processing fees, $6 million
pipeline fees and $17 million of sulphur fees, natural
gas pass-through, carbon and other revenue and Wiri
lease payments. Total expenses amounted to $68 million,
comprising: operating costs of $46 million, depreciation
$8 million, conversion costs and impairment of assets of
$8 million and financing costs of $6 million.

Cashflow and Dividends
Strong operating cashflows
from continuing operations
funded a significant portion of conversion spend and
growth capex, with net debt increasing to $257 million.
This represents gearing of 33 per cent and Net Debt
to EBITDA of 3.4 times (based on annualised reported
EBITDA for nine months of terminal operations).
Strong cash flows and leverage in the target range of 3
to 4 time
s has enabled the Board to declare a dividend
at the top end of its Dividend Policy range of 60-70
per cent of Normalised Free Cash Flow

. A fully imputed

Balance Sheet
Net Assets
Net assets of the Company increased by 5 per cent
t
o
$518 million or $1.39 per share primarily reflecting the
strong financial performance and a net increase in the
mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s interest rate
swaps and electricity hedges as at 31 December 2022.
Provisions and employee benefits
Provisions associated with the conversion to an import
terminal hav
e reduced by $77 million, with $73 million
spent on shutdown and decommissioning and workforce
transition which were completed across the year and
a $12 million reduction in conversion provisions due to
a higher discount rate, offset with provision discount
unwinding of $2 million. Employee benefits also reduced
by $11 million in line with workforce reductions through
the transition.
Working Capital
Trade receivables and payables have reduced by
c.$114
million due to excise duty no longer being
collected and paid on behalf of customers following the
commencement of import terminal operations.
Net working capital (after excluding conversion
pro
visions) is positive $9 million.
Borrowings
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 net
proceeds from the retail bonds provided diversification
of funding that aligns with an infrastructure business,
and were applied towards repaying a portion of existing
bank debt.
In November 2022, the Company refinanced $205
million
of bank debt, achieving tenor spread across three
to five years. Total available debt facilities are now
$380 million with no maturities within 12 months and
a weighted average debt maturity of 3.5
2
years as at
31 December 2022.

The Group’s net debt as at 31 December 2022 was
$257 million, resulting in total headroom of $123 million
which pro
vides sufficient capacity to fund the remainder
of conversion costs and investment in private storage. It is
expected that debt will peak at around $70 to $90 million
above current levels in the next 12-18 months.
The refinancing programme has reduced the Company’s
co
st of bank debt, with the fixed rate bonds and interest
rate swaps providing significant funding cost certainty for
2023 in a rising interest rate environment.
Tax Losses
The Company generated significant tax losses
through the con
version to an import terminal. As at
31 December 2022 , the Company held tax losses
amounting to c.$507 million which will be used to offset
against future assessable income.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
Looking Ahead to FY23
The terminal services and private storage fees are
sub
ject to PPI escalation. In November 2022, Statistics
New Zealand announced the PPI for the 12 months
ended 30 September 2023 was 8.4 per cent, which will
increase the 2023 "take-or-pay" level under the Terminal
Services Agreements by $6.3 million (above the 2022
annualised take or pay fee equivalent) to $106.3 million.
Together with additional private storage contracted, this
resulted in Channel's EBITDA guidance upgrade from
$76 - $84 million to $82 - $86 million increasing the
Company’s EBITDA expectations for 2023.
Based on the Company’s capital allocation framework
and dividend policy of r
eturning 60-70 per cent of
normalised Free Cash Flow to shareholders, the indicative
dividend range for FY23 increases from 8 to 11 cents per
share to 9 to 11 cents per share.

Governance
44
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited operates in New Zealand and
is li
sted on the NZX’s Main Board. It is subject to regulatory
control and monitoring by both the NZX and the Financial
Markets Authority (“FMA”). Our corporate governance framework
sets out our Board’s practices and processes to provide
accountability to shareholders for Channel Infrastructure’s actions
and performance.
This section of the Annual Report provides summary
information on our curr
ent corporate governance
framework. The Company’s full Governance Statement,
including detailed reporting against the NZX Corporate
Governance Code, together with our governance policies
can be viewed on the ”Investor Centre” section of our
website: www.channelnz.com.
The Governance Statement is annually reviewed and
appro
ved by the Board and is current as at 23 February
2023. In 2022, the Board undertook a Corporate
Governance Review in light of the change in the
Company’s business operations from oil refining to import
terminal s
ervices, and the Governance Statement was
previously reviewed and updated in May 2022.
The Board considers that it has followed the
recommendations in the NZX C
orporate Governance
Code during the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
Responsibilities of the Board and
it
s C
ommittees
The Board is responsible for setting the Company’s
str
ategic direction and for providing oversight of the
management of the Company, with the aim of increasing
shareholder value and ensuring the obligations of the
Company are properly met. The Board is accountable to
shar
eholders for the performance of the Company, with
day-to-day management of the Company delegated to
the Chief Executive Officer.
The Board uses committees to address certain issues
that requir
e detailed consideration by members of the
Board who have specialist knowledge and experience.
The Board retains ultimate responsibility for the functions
of its committees and determines their responsibilities.
There are currently four Board committees:
• The Audit and Finance Committee comprising four
members, of which three are Independent Directors,
• The People and Culture Committee comprising four
members
, of which three are Independent Directors,
• The Independent Directors Committee comprising all
five Independent Directors, and
• The Health, S
afety, Environment and Operations
Commit
tee comprising all Directors.
45
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
The Board may also establish ad hoc committees
from time t
o time, and in 2021 it established a
Transition Committee for the purposes of the Corporate
Governance Review and other matters relating to
the transition from an oil refinery to an import
terminal business.
The respective roles of the Board, its committees and
management (the Corpor
ate Leadership Team) are set
out in the Board’s and relevant committees’ Charters.
The committees annually evaluate their own performance
to ens
ure that they are appropriate to assist the Board in
effectively fulfilling its role and meeting its duties. The
Board also undertakes a periodic evaluation of its
performance, and in 2022, the Board engaged Propero
Consulting to prepare an evaluation report to assist the
Board in continuing to effectively perform as a Board.
Independence of Directors
The Board currently consists of seven Directors:
• James Miller (the Chair), Andrew Holmes, Anna
Mollo
y
, Vanessa Stoddart and Paul Zealand are
Independent Directors.
• Lindis Jones and Lucy Nation are not Independent.
The Chairman is an Independent Director, responsible for
r
epr
esenting the Board to shareholders.
Independence is assessed according to the NZX Main
Board Lis
ting Rules criteria. No shareholder has any
constitutional right to appoint Directors.
The three largest shareholders of the Company are also
major cus
tomers, either directly or through wholly-owned
subsidiaries, and some have representation on the Board
which could lead to a conflict of interest. Clause 8.16.1
of the Constitution allows for the Independent Directors
to act as the Board in respect of matters that pose a
conflict of interest if raised at the full Board. The role of
the Independent Directors is to:
• Act as the Board in relation to those matters to
be decided by the Board in which all of the other
Directors have an interest which disqualifies them from
forming part of the quorum and voting, and
• Act as a committee of the Board to deal with
matt
ers delegated or referred to it by the Board
or management, including ensuring that issues
concerning the major customers, and in particular any
conflicts of interest, are dealt with in a transparent
manner for the benefit of the Company as a whole.

Director and Corporate Lead
Te
am Remuneration
The Company has adopted a Director and Executive
Remuner
ation Policy for remuneration of the Board
and Corporate Lead Team. Channel Infrastructure’s
remuneration framework and policies are overseen by the
People and Culture Committee in accordance with the
People and Culture Committee Charter.
Remuneration
Channel Infrastructure aims to attract and retain
appropriat
ely qualified and experienced individuals.
Channel Infrastructure applies a fair and equitable
approach to remuneration and reward practices,
considering internal and external relativities balanced
against the commercial environment.
The Board takes independent advice and establishes
marke
t rates and medians against New Zealand
businesses of comparable size and complexity,
having regard to industry specific and generic roles.
Individual performance, company performance and
market relativity are key considerations in setting
remuneration levels.
Channel Infrastructure is committed to pay equity,
and as the bus
ine
ss transitioned to the Terminal, the
Company completed a pay equity review of the new
organisation. In March 2022, the pay equity gap was 16
per cent. Channel remains committed to closing the gap
and actively monitors remuneration levels and during the
appointment of staff into new roles ensured that women
were actively supported into roles.
Directors’ Remuneration
The Board determines the level of remuneration paid to
Direct
ors within the amounts approved by shareholders
(that is, from the approved collective pool). The current
approved fee pool limit is $900,000 and was approved
by shareholders at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in
April 2018.
The remuneration and other benefits, excluding
reimbur
sements, received by the individual Directors
of the Company during the 2022 financial year were

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
The Directors do not participate in any profit-based
incentiv
e system. No Director of the Company has
received, or become entitled to receive, a benefit
(other than a benefit included in the total emoluments
received or due and receivable by Directors shown in this
report), including shares, remuneration paid by subsidiary
company or other payments from services provided
(including Directors and Officers insurance cover). The
Chairman does not receive additional fees for being on
a committee. No loans have been made to Directors. The
Directors of subsidiary companies (refer to page 63) are
not remunerated in those positions.
Directors’ Fees Review
Directors’ remuneration is intended to be set at a
lev
el to remain comparable with other companies in
New Zealand, considering the expertise, skills, and
responsibilities of Directors. Directors’ fees were last
increased in 2018, and since then the Board has resolved
each year to not increase Directors’ fees, in recognition
of the Company’s financial performance and despite the
significant workload of the Board over the last three
years during the Strategic Review.
As previously signaled, following the successful
conv
ersion from refining to import terminal operations
and the change in the nature of the business of the
Company in 2022, the Board is undertaking a review of
the level of Directors’ fees.
Chief Executive
Officer Remuneration
Naomi James commenced her employment as Chief
Executiv
e Officer on 6 April 2020. Naomi James' total
remuneration package includes:
• A base salary of $995,000 per annum (2021: $995,000);
• A short-term performance incentive (STI) payment
based on achie
vement of agreed key performance
indicators (KPIs). The STI is an incentive with an “on
target” incentive of 45 per cent of base salary per
plan year, with the potential for this to increase to
65 per cent depending on performance. Short-term
incentive payments are deemed “at risk” payments
designed to motivate and reward performance in the
financial year. The STI is paid in the year following the
performance period;
• A long-term incentive plan (LTI) in the form of:
– A grant of initial performance rights (in the form
of s
hare rights in the Company) equivalent to
one year’s base salary ($995,000) that are due to
vest on 6 April 2024 subject to achievement of a
minimum “on target” performance against annual
controllable KPIs during the vesting period,
– Performance rights equivalent to 25 per cent
of bas
e salary on the first anniversary of the
commencement date, 25 per cent on the second
anniversary and 50 per cent on each successive
anniversary, with each tranche having a three year
vesting period with a further year to vest
1
.
The Chief Executive Officer’s
LTI entitlement (including
the initial performance rights) is capped at $6 million,
• A six month redundancy entitlement, with no
additional entitlements aris
ing under her employment
contract due to her exit from the business. In
accordance with the terms of her employment
agreement, upon her exit from the Company in 2023,
she will be paid six months redundancy, accrued leave
and her existing STI entitlement, and her existing and
disclosed share rights entitlements will vest subject to
satisfactory performance to termination date.
The total remuneration paid to the Chief Executive Officer
during the year ended 31 December
2022 comprised the
following components:
• Fixed remuneration - base salary of $995,000,
• STI paid on achievement of agreed performance
objectiv
es of $646,750,
• Share rights (equivalent to 25 per cent of base
salar
y ($248,750) and subject to vesting conditions
including the achievement of outcomes sought from
the material decisions made by the Board from the
strategic review process,
• $2,000 Employee Share Scheme award, and
• Other
benefits
of $40,552 (accommodation
and mileage).
The Chief Executive Officer’s
KPIs, with respect to the
short-term incentive, agreed for the 2022 financial year
relate to:
KPI CATEGORYWEIGHTING
Delivery against the Company scorecard (HSE, on time and budget delivery of conversion programme, meeting
cust
omer commitments, retain and build organisational capability and balance sheet capacity to fund conversion)
50%
Establish strong base for future sustainability and growth (reset cost of capital, transform from refinery to
infr
as
tructure company, support New Zealand’s decarbonisation, growth through diversification)
50%

As noted in the 2021 Annual Report, the first tranche of LTI share rights under her employment agreement were offered to the CEO. Ms James voluntarily
declined to accep
t the offer recognising the challenging and uncertain circumstances of the Company at that time.
50
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
A short-term incentive in respect of the 2022 year will be
paid in early 20
23, amounting to $646,750 recognising Ms
James’ performance against the KPIs outlined above.

1 The Board has determined that unvested share rights will vest upon cessation of Ms James' employment as CEO on 6 March 2023 (subject to any lapse
ev
ent), as the outcomes contemplated by the vesting conditions have been delivered under Ms James' leadership.
2 These share rights are included for the purpose of applying the $6 million cap on the CEO's LTI entitlements referred to above.
3 Ms James’ short-term incentive in respect of the 2020 year was not paid in cash. Instead, share rights equivalent to $540,000 were granted in
April 2021.
Remuneration of Incoming CEO, Rob Buchanan
In November 2022, Rob Buchanan was appointed
as Chief Ex
ecutive (replacing Naomi James) and
commenced employment at Channel Infrastructure on
31 January 2023 and will commence as CEO on 6 March
2023. His remuneration package includes:
• A base salary of $550,000 per annum;
• A short-term performance incentive (STI) payment
based on achie
vement of agreed key performance
indicators (KPIs). The STI entitlement is an “on target”
incentive of 35 per cent of base salary per plan
year, with the potential for this to increase to 45 per
cent depending on performance. STI payments are
deemed “at risk” payments designed to motivate and
reward performance in the financial year. The STI is
paid in the year following the performance period;
• A long-term incentive plan (LTI) in the form of:
– A grant of initial share rights equivalent to one
year
’s base salary ($550,000) that will vest on
31 January 2028, subject to the achievement of a
minimum “on target” performance against annual
controllable KPIs during the vesting period,
– Share rights equivalent to 45 per cent of
base s
alary on the first anniversary of the
commencement date and each anniversary
thereafter, with each tranche having a three-year
vesting period and with measures and targets to be
agreed with the Board.
The Chief Executive Officer’s LTI entitlement, including
the initial shar
e rights, is capped at $8
million, and
thereafter subject to renegotiation.
• An entitlement to six months base salary (in addition
to s
ix months' notice or payment in lieu) in the
event of termination due to redundancy, and an
entitlement to 12 months’ base salary for termination
of employment on a “no-fault” basis or resignation
within three months of a change of control of

2022 Workforce Changes
In 2022, the conversion of the refinery to import terminal
oper
ations resulted in 159 staff exiting the business
during the year. The Company provided employees
with a minimum of six months’ notice and six months
redundancy. Redundancies amounting to $22 million
were paid in 2022 (2021: $4.4 million) and leave
entitlements were paid out amounting to $7 million.
Redundancy and leave payments are included in the
employee remuneration table set out on page 54.
The business deployed a wide range of tailored
workf
orce transition support services, to help our people
into new jobs or training opportunities once their
employment with us came to an end.
Within six months of exit, 97 per cent of our staff
impact
ed by the change who were seeking new
employment had found new employment or were
retraining. Refer to the 2022 Sustainability Report
(available at www.channelnz.com
) for further details on
our Workforce Transition.
Corporate Leadership Team
and Other Emplo
yees'
Remuneration Profile
The Corporate Lead Team and employees with Individual
Employment Agr
eements (IEAs) are remunerated with
a mix of base salary and benefits, and short-term
performance incentives. The determination of fixed
remuneration is based on responsibilities, individual
performance and experience, and market data. At risk,
variable remuneration, comprises short-term incentives
based on the KPIs in the Company Scorecard
and individual performance. The Company Scorecard
included HSE, conversion programme, customer,
capability, and balance sheet performance metrics, with
an above target outcome recorded against these KPIs.
STI payments in respect of 2022 performance will be
made in 2023.
52
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
As previously disclosed, in 2021, key business leaders were
awar
ded with two tranches of share rights (in the form of
shares in the Company) to incentivise and retain selected
individuals in key management roles critical to the safe
delivery of the conversion project. The first tranche of
share rights vested on 1 January 2023 in accordance
with their terms and 1,931,890 shares in the Company
were issued to the awardees of the share rights on
4 January 2023. The second tranche of share rights are
scheduled to vest on 28 February 2023 (and upon vesting
1,377,389 shares in the Company will be issued on that
date to awardees of the share rights), with the Board
having determined that the vesting condition in relation
to the safe, on time, on budget and to-plan conversion
to import terminal operations in 2022 has been satisfied
to date.
Employee Share Purchase Scheme
The Company has established the Employee Share
Purchas
e Scheme which is tax exempt in accordance
with section CW26C of the Income Tax Act 2007 (as
amended). The purpose of the Employee Share Purchase
Scheme is to recognise the important contribution of all
employees to the Company’s future and to assist the
Company in retaining and motivating employees.
A trust has been created under the Employee Share
Purchas
e Scheme for the purpose of holding Company
shares on behalf of each participating employee over a
three-year period. For further details on the scheme, refer
to the consolidated financial statements included in this
latest Annual Report.
The Company estimates that the annual cost of
operating the s
cheme is approximately $31,000. The
value of the awards under the Employee Share Purchase
Scheme amounted to $2,000 for each eligible employee
in 2022.
The funds, totaling $529,848 for the award, were
pro
vided to CRS Nominees Limited (Trustee), as Trustee
of the Employee Share Purchase Scheme, to pay the
subscription price in cash for the issue of the shares
as fully paid ordinary shares. The shares are held
by the Trustee for the participating employees until
they are withdrawn by the participants following a
restricted period of three years from the acquisition date,
unless released earlier in certain limited circumstances
(for example death, sickness, redundancy etc). The
participating employees may vote the shares and receive
dividends, if paid.
The total financial
assistance given in 2022 in the form of
advances to the Trustee to acquire the shares and fund
the annual costs of operating the Scheme amounted to
$560,848. (2021: $575,000).
Employee Remuneration
The following table shows the number of employees and
former emplo
yees (including members of the Corporate
Lead Team), not being Directors, who, in their capacity
as employees, received remuneration and other benefits
during 2022 of at least $100,000.
The remuneration figures include all monetary payments
made during the y
ear, including redundancy payments
and contributions made by the Company as part of the
share scheme. No employees appointed as a Director
of IPL, a subsidiary company of Channel Infrastructure
NZ Limited, receive or retain any remuneration or other
benefits for holding this office.
The analysis (see table) is compiled on a cash basis; the
variable perf
ormance rewards (linked to individual and
business performance for a financial reporting period) in
respect of the 2022 financial year, will be paid in March
2023 and reported as part of the remuneration banding
for the 2023 year.
The ratio between employee remuneration (median)
and Chief Ex
ecutive Officer's total annualised, on-target
remuneration for the 2022 financial year (on a cash basis)
was 1:9 (2021: 1:7).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Reporting Entity
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (previously The New
Zealand
Refining Company Limited, trading as Refining
NZ) (‘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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended
3
1 December 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 Rā
Holdings Limited and CHI Future Developments Limited.
Basis of Preparation
These consolidated financial
statements for the year
ended 31 December 2022 comply with:
• The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013,
• Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New
Zealand (‘NZ G
AAP’),
• New Zealand equivalents to the International Financial
Repor
ting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’) and other authoritative
pronouncements of the External Reporting Board, as
appropriate for for-profit entities, and International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on
the his
torical cost basis, except for property, plant and
equipment, investment properties, derivative financial
instruments and plan assets (included in the net defined
benefit pension plan liability) which are measured at
fair value.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on
a GS
T exclusive basis and presented in New Zealand
dollars ($) which is the Group’s functional currency,
and the financial information has been rounded to the
nearest thousand dollars ($000), unless otherwise stated.
Comparatives in the consolidated income statement
have been r
epresented due to the classification of oil
refining activities as ‘discontinued operations’ (refer Note
1 for further information).
Use of Judgements and Estimates
The preparation of
financial
statements requires directors
and the management to make certain judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the application
of accounting policies and reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The areas
involve estimates and assumptions that can significantly
affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated
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). Effective from 1 January
2022, the Group reassessed the remaining useful lives
of it
s infrastructure assets resulting in changes to
remaining lives of certain assets (refer to Note 8 for
further information).
•Provisions – consistent with the 2021 financial
s
tatements, the Group continues to recognise several
pro
visions in relation to the conversion of the refinery
into a dedicated fuels import terminal operation (refer
to Note 14 for further details).
•Recoverability of tax losses – during the year,
the Group gener
ated a tax loss of c.$437 million,
increasing the balance of total available losses
(including losses from prior years) to c.$507 million at
31 December 2022. A deferred tax asset in respect of
these unutilised tax losses has been recognised.
On the basis that at least 49 per cent 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 lo
sses can be offset and therefore
the deferred tax asset realised.
•Discontinued operations – in March 2022, the
Group ceas
ed refining operations and commenced
operations as a dedicated liquid fuels import terminal
from 1 April 2022. This has resulted in the refining
cash generating unit being classified as ‘discontinued
operations’. For further details, including judgements
relating to the processing fees, refer to Note 1.
Note, the results from continuing operations (as
pre
sented in the consolidated income statement)
75
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
include import terminal fees earned under the Terminal
Service
s 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 full financial year.
Significant Accounting Policies
The mat
erial accounting policies applied in the
prepar
ation of these consolidated financial statements
have been consistently applied to all periods presented.
There were no new or amended accounting standards
mandator
y for the year ended 31 December 2022 that
were considered to have a material impact to the Group.
The Group has early adopted in 2022 amendments to IAS
1 Presentation and disclosure: Disclosures of Accounting
P
olicies issued by the XRB (effective for periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2023) which require entities to
disclose only those accounting policies that relate to
material transactions.
The XRB has issued a number of other standards,
amendments and int
erpretations which are not yet
effective, of which an impact on the Group’s consolidated
financial statements is not considered to be material.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
1 Discontinued Operations
Following the Strategic review undertaken by the Company and the Final Investment Decision taken by the Board
to pr
oceed 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’; these 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, and are
outlined in the below table.
Processing fees are determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Processing Agreements with
each cust
omer. The Company is currently in dispute with some related-party customers in relation to 2022 processing
fees associated with the cessation of refining activities, with these disputes having been referred to arbitration.
Processing fee revenue recognised for the period to 31 March 2022 of $47 million reflects the Company’s best estimate
of the revenue earned during that period. The Company’s maximum exposure to the disputes is limited by the
operation of the Processing Fee Floor (revenue recognised in Q1 in excess of the fee floor was c.$11 million).

2 Segment Reporting
(a)Identification and description of reportable segments and reporting measures
Management reviews the Group’s performance of operating segments primarily based on revenue and adjusted
earnings be
f
ore depreciation, finance costs and income tax (‘Adjusted EBITDA’). For a reconciliation between the
Non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA, to the reported EBITDA refer to Note 23. 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), and Wiri land and terminal leases from 1 April 2022 and the fuel testing laboratory for the
full year
. The oil refining segment represents results from refining and pipeline operations and Wiri land and terminal
leases until 31 March 2022 when the refining business has been discontinued and classified as discontinued operations
(as disclosed under Note 1 ). 2021 financials have been represented to reflect this change in segment reporting.

3 Income
Import terminal and associated fees are recognised over time as services are delivered. An output method
is applied to meas
ure progress of the services provided. The revenue is recognised in the amounts invoiced,
applying the practical expedient in NZ IFRS 15, reflecting actual throughput, adjusted for minimum fee (take-or-pay)
when applicable.
Rental income from operating leases (including Wiri terminal rental) is recognised on a straight-line basis in
accordance with the s
ubstance of the relevant agreements.
There is no significant
judgement involved in the price determination and allocation with respect to terminal fees. 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 Related Parties
(a) Shareholders and other related parties
The Group entered into transactions with related parties, primarily processing and distribution revenues under the
P
r
ocessing Agreements until 31 March 2022 and import terminal and related revenue under the Terminal Services and
Private Storage Agreements from 1 April 2022.
The nature, transactions and balances with the related parties are as follows:
•Import Terminal Services – Channel Group provides import terminal and pipeline services to each of the Group’s
thr
ee shareholder customers, namely bp New Zealand Holdings Limited (BP), Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited (Mobil)
and Z Energy Limited under long-term Terminal Services Agreements which commenced on 1 April 2022, and Private
Storage Agreements. Prior to this, until March 2022, the Group provided processing and distribution services to these
shareholders under Processing Agreements with each of the customers. In 2022 c.89 per cent (2021: c.89 per cent) of
the Group’s total revenue was earned with shareholder customers. For credit terms refer to note 19.
•Lease income – relates to income associated with the Wiri fuel terminal infrastructure that is owned by the Parent
C
ompany and located on the land owned by Wiri Oil Services Limited. There has been no impact from the
conversion to an import terminal on these lease arrangements, which remain in place until their expiry in February
2025 and continue to be classified as non-cancellable operating leases with no right of renewal (meaning that at
the end of the lease term ownership of the Wiri fuel terminal assets reverts to Wiri Oil Services Limited).
•Excise Duty – prior to commencement of the import terminal operations, excise duty was collected from the
s
hareholder customers and paid to the New Zealand Customs Service on the same day each month (refer notes
15 and 17). Following the commencement of import terminal operations, the Company is no longer a Customs
Controlled Area and therefore ceased to collect and pay excise duty.
•Purchases of Goods and Services – prior to commencement of the import terminal operations, the Group
purchas
ed sulphur, a by-product of the refining process, which was then on-sold to third parties. From April 2022
sulphur is no longer produced by the Company. In addition, amongst underwriters of Channel's material damage
and business interruption insurance policy are companies related to Channel's shareholders and therefore a portion
of the insurance premium is paid to those companies.

The increase in key management personnel compensation is related to cash payment of short term incentives (nil
in 20

through the year.
The cost associated with the key management personnel’s share scheme (not included in the above key management
pers
onnel compensation) amounts to $1.6 million (2021: $0.6 million).
The Company operates the following share schemes:
Chief Executive Share Rights Scheme
The Company has issued share performance rights to the current CEO Naomi James, details of which are disclosed in
the R
emuner
ation Report, which will vest on her ceasing to be CEO.
In the year ended 31 December 2022, the Company recognised an expense of $1.0 million (2021: $0.4 million) in relation
to the Chie
f Executive Officer’s share rights plans. The expense is measured at its fair value (determined based on the
Company’s share price and taking into account share liquidity discount and expected dividends) and recognised over
the vesting period. The weighted average remaining life of the scheme is 0.2 years (31 December 2021: 2.3 years).
Management Share Rights Scheme
In 2021 key members of management (including the Chief Executive) were awarded with two tranches of share rights
(in the f
orm o
f shares in the Company for nil consideration) to incentivise and retain selected key management to the
safe delivery of the conversion project. The first tranche of share rights vested on 1 January 2023 in accordance with
their terms and 1,931,890 shares in the Company were issued to the awardees of the share rights on 4 January 2023.
The second tranche of share rights are scheduled to vest on 28 February 2023 (and upon vesting 1,377,389 shares in
the Company will be issued on that date to awardees of the share rights), with the board having determined that the
vesting condition in relation to the safe, on time, on budget and to-plan conversion to import terminal operations in
2022 has been satisfied to date.
In the year ended 31 December 2022, the Company recognised an expense of $1.1 million (2021: $0.5 million) in relation
to the Management Shar
e Rights Scheme, including $0.6 million relating to key management personnel (not included in
the table above).

The Group has estimated unused tax losses of c.$507 million (2021: $70 million) available to carry forward. A deferred
tax as
set in respect of these unutilised tax losses has been recognised. On the basis that at least a 49 per cent
continuity of shareholding is maintained, management and the Board believe that future taxable profits will be
available against which the tax losses can be recovered and therefore the deferred tax asset can be realised.
Any significant
change in the shareholding of Channel Infrastructure, or adverse change in future earnings and
profitability, could limit the Company’s ability to realise the deferred tax asset. Specifically, in case of shareholder
continuity breach occurring, the carry forward of tax losses would be subject to the Business Continuity Test.
6 Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) from continuing and discontinued operations, attributable
t
o s
hareholders of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year. The
Company’s share-based payments described in note b have no material dilutive effect on the earnings per share.

7 Equity and Dividends
Contributed Equity. The issued capital of the Company as at 31 December 2022 is represented by 372,725,917 ordinary
shar
es (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 Chief Executive
Share Rights Scheme (refer to note 4).
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.
Revaluation reserve. Revaluation reserve represents an accumulated revaluation gain on property, plant and
equipment v
alued at fair value. Please refer to note 8 for further details.
Treasury stock. Treasury stock represents the value of shares acquired by CRS Nominees Limited on-market, or shares
iss
ued by the Company, in respect of the Employee Share Purchase Scheme.
Employee share entitlement reserve. The employee share entitlement reserve is used to recognise the fair value of
s
hares granted but not vested to employees (as part of the Employee Share Purchase Scheme) or to the Chief
Executive or key management within the Share Rights Schemes. Amounts are transferred to share capital when the
shares vest to the employee.
Cash flow hedge reserve.
The cash flow hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change
in the fair value of hedging instruments used in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in the Consolidated
Income St
atement (refer to note 19).
Dividends. The Group has declared a fully imputed final dividend of 5 cents per share and a fully imputed special
dividend of 2 cent
s per share, payable on 20 March 2023 (no dividends were paid or declared in 2021). As at
31 December 2022 imputation credits available to shareholders, subject to 66 per cent shareholder continuity, amount
to $20.3 million being an equivalent of c.14 cents per share of fully imputed dividends (2021: $20.9 million or c.14 cents
per share).

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
8 Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are included in the Common Terms Deed as detailed in note 13.
Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is recognised at fair value (following the change in the Group’s accounting policy
from a his
torical measurement base to a revaluation model, as disclosed in the 2021 consolidated financial statements)
less accumulated depreciation, except capital work in progress which is recognised at historical cost.
Any surplus on revaluation of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to the Revaluation Reserve unless it
offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, in which case it is recognised
in the C
onsolidated Income Statement. A deficit
on revaluation of property, plant and equipment is recognised in
the Consolidated Income Statement in the period it arises where it exceeds any surplus previously transferred to the
Revaluation Reserve.
As at 31 December
2022 management has assessed the fair values of property, plant and equipment of the import
terminal system and concluded that it does not differ materially from its carrying value. As such no adjustment to the
carrying amounts was made in 2022. The previous valuation was carried out by PwC, a qualified independent valuer,
as at 31 December 2021.
The carrying amount of the import terminal system under the cost model was $218 million as at
31 December 2022.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than freehold land and
capital w
ork in progress which are not depreciated. 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

9 Intangibles
Intangibles relate to New Zealand Units (NZUs), being carbon units issued under the New Zealand Emissions Trading
Scheme (NZ ET
S) by the Crown to the Parent company pursuant to the Company’s Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement
(NGA), which came to an end with the cessation of refining activities from April 2022.
NZUs are recognised at historical cost and presented on a gross basis, i.e. intangibles represent all carbon units held
by the C
ompany at balance date. As at 31 December 2022 the Company holds a surplus of c.72,000 units (available
for sale).
Carbon units have an indefinite
useful life as they remain in indefinite circulation under the NZ ETS. A review of
useful lives and an impairment assessment has taken place as at year end, concluding that the useful life remains
appropriate, and the intangibles are not impaired (2021: Nil).
10 Other Assets
Other assets include:
• Investment properties ($6.2
million) - land leased by Parent (refer to Note 11 for further details) and held at fair value
through profit and loss. The last revaluation of the investment property was undertaken in 2021.
• Precious metal (platinum) ($13.5 million) - platinum purchased in December 2022 as part of the platinum lease
se
ttlement, which is expected to be recovered and sold within 12 to 24 months. Platinum is held at fair value through
profit and loss (discontinued operations).
11 Operating Leases
Lease income from operating leases, where the Group is a lessor, are recognised as income on a straight-line basis
o
v
er the period of the lease.
The Group has the following leases where it acts as a lessor:
• Lease of land and terminal assets located at Wiri, South Auckland, to Wiri Oil Services Limited (refer to note 4) under
a non-cancellable oper
ating lease which expires in February 2025 with no right of renewal. The annual Wiri terminal
and land lease income and land lease cost are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of lease and
amounted to $6.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in 2022 (2021: $6.5 million and $0.5 million);
• Lease of some surplus land at Marsden Point – the original lease ending in 2021 was renewed by the lessee for
another period o
f 21 years.

commitments amounted to $34 million (31 December 2021: $21.5 million), and are primarily related to import terminal
conversion project costs.

13 Borrowings
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.
In November 2022, Channel Infrastructure fully refinanced
$205 million of bank debt and its current banking group
comprises ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, ASB Bank New Zealand, Bank of New Zealand, China Construction Bank
(New Zealand) Limited and Westpac New Zealand. Following the bank refinancing the Group’s total funding facilities
are $380 million with no maturities within 12 months, and an average tenor of 3.5 years as at 31 December 2022.
Average tenor calculated on the assumption that the subordinated notes are redeemed at their reset date in March
2024 (noting that the Company may either exercise a right to redeem the notes or a right to offer new conditions to
the noteholders).
The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair value. The borrowings are unsecured. The Parent can
det
ermine which revolving cash advance facility will be drawn upon meeting funding requirements. The Parent borrows
under a Common Terms Deed which requires certain certificates and covenants.
The table below outlines the maturity profile
of the facilities as at 31 December 2022:

1 The difference
between the carrying value of the subordinated notes and retail bonds and their 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.

14 Provisions
Provisions are liabilities of uncertain timing and amount, recognised where the Group has an obligation (legal or
constructiv
e) whose settlement will require an outflow of resources and can be reliably measured.
All provisions are recognised in amounts reflecting the present value of future expected cash outflows. In estimating
the pro
visions, the Group assumed a long-term inflation rate of 2 per cent (2021: 1.9 per cent) and discount rates
between 4.5 per cent and 5.12 per cent (2021: between 1.3 per cent and 3.1 per cent), respectively.

benefit pension plan
The Parent contributes to a defined benefit pension fund which has been closed to new members since 2002. As
at
31 December 2022 there were two active members contributing to the Plan (2021: 44). In addition, there are 98
retirees/pensioners receiving regular pension payments or disability pensions which can be paid from the Plan until
normal retirement age (2021: 87).
Under the plan the Parent has an obligation to pay contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all
pensioners the benefits they are entitled to. Key risks that could expose the Group to a shortfall include investment
returns and life expectancy.
The latest triennial actuarial review, completed as at 31 March 2022, reported an actuarial surplus (actuarial value
of assets was greater that the present value of accrued benefits using expected investment returns), therefore no
immediate contribution to the fund was required. In 2023, to fund the benefits of the two members, the Parent will be
required to contribute $25,000 per annum, and to cover the fund administration expenses of c.$250,000 per annum.
While the fund is fully funded, the Parent recognises a liability in the statement of financial position, which is calculated
annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method with present value of the estimated future
cash outflows using interest rates of Government bonds (rather than expected investment returns). The modified
duration of the defined benefit liability was approximately nine years (2021: 14 years).
Medical plan (scheme closed since 1996)
The Parent pays health insurance premiums in respect of nine beneficiaries (2021: nine) until their death. This scheme
was closed in 1996 and has not been offered to new employees since. The medical plan is accounted for in a similar
manner to the defined benefit plan outlined above, with an accounting valuation performed by an independent
actuary at each balance date. Expected contributions to the medical plan in 2023 are $189,000.

19 Financial Risk Management
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks (market, credit and liquidity) in the normal course of the business.
Risk management is perf
ormed by management who evaluate and hedge certain financial risks, including currency risk
and interest rate risk under a treasury policy that is approved by the Board of Directors. The following is a summary of
the Group’s exposure to financial risk and the management of those:
FINANCIAL RISKEXPOSUREMANAGEMENT OF RISK
AND SENSITIVITY
Market risk
Electricity
price risk
Change
s in market pricesPrice fluctuation risk managed using electricity futures, Contracts for
Differences and/or physical supply contracts.
Sensitivity: As at 31 December 2022 the Group was fully hedged hence the
income s
tatement not sensitive to changing market prices.
Currency riskMovement in foreign
ex
change rates
Currency risk managed through material purchases of property, plant and
equipment items hedged using forward currency exchange contracts.
Sensitivity: As at
31 December 2022 the Group held US dollar foreign exchange
contracts and the impact of US dollar appreciation/depreciation by +/-10 per
cent on before-tax profit/loss and other comprehensive income is -/+$1.2m
(2021: no contracts held).
Interest rate riskMovement in interest ratesInterest rate risk managed through a range of fixed
rate borrowings and interest
rate swaps.
Sensitivity: At
31 December 2022, impact of inter-bank interest rates changing
by +/-75 basis points on before tax profit/loss and other comprehensive income
is -/+$0.1m and +/-$2.5m respectively (2021: -/+$0.2m and +/-$2.8m).
Liquidity risk
Risk that the Group will not
be able t
o mee
t its financial
obligations as they fall due
The Group monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements to ensure it
has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient
headroom on the Group’s undrawn borrowing facilities. No surplus cash
is held by the Group over and above the balance required for working
capital management.
Credit risk
Risk of loss to the Group due to
cus
t
omer or counterparty default
The Group is exposed to credit risk if counterparties fail to make payments in
respect of payment of trade receivables as invoices fall due. Most common
payment terms are on the 20th of the following month.
The receivables from the shareholder customers (as disclosed in the related
part
y note 4) present a concentration of credit risk, however, management
has assessed the credit quality of these customers as being high. Based on
the analysis of the historical payments of the Group’s customers and with
reference to their credit rating and short payment terms, the Group assessed
the expected credit losses in respect to 31 December 2022 receivables to be
immaterial. No collateral is held over trade receivables.
Overdue trade receivable balances at 31 December 2022 totalled $5.2 million
(20
21: $0.6 million), and no provision for doubtful debt was recognised.
Risk of derivative counterparties
and cash depo
sits being lost
For banks, only parties with a minimum long-term credit rating of A+ or A1 are
accept
ed. For investments gross limits are set for financial institutions and the
usage of these limits is determined by assigning product weightings to the
principal amount of the transaction.
Transactions are spread across several counterparties to avoid concentrations
of cr
edit exposure. No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting
period and management does not expect any losses from non-performance
by counterparties.

Non-Derivative Financial Liabilities
The following table sets out the maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities based on the contractual terms
as at balance dat
e
. The amounts presented are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and are based on the expiry
of the bank facility or maturity of the subordinated notes.
The liquidity analysis set out below discloses cash outflows resulting from the financial liabilities only and does not
consider e
xpected net cash inflows from financial assets (including trade receivables) or undrawn debt facilities which
provide liquidity support to the Group. Contractual cash flows associated with bank borrowings include interest for the
period until the debt rollover date (typically within six months from the balance date) and subordinated notes and
retail bonds include interest in the period until 1 March 2034.

Derivative Financial Liabilities
The table below details the liquidity risk arising from derivative liabilities held by the Group at balance date. Derivative
financial
liabilities are split into the gross settled derivatives which include foreign exchange forward contracts with the
inflo
w being based on the foreign currency converted at the closing spot rate, and the net settled derivatives which
include interest rate swaps (with the floating rate being based on the most recent rate set), electricity futures and
contracts for differences.

Hedging
Derivatives are only used for hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. The Group designates certain
deriv
ativ
es as hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast
transaction (cash flow hedge).
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges
is r
ecognised in equity in the cash flow hedge reserve. Hedge effectiveness is determined at inception of the hedge
relationship, and through periodic effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between
the hedged item and hedging instrument. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately
in other operating gains/losses in the Consolidated Income Statement.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments approximates their carrying value.
The ne
t movement in the cash flow hedge reserve comprises:

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the
hedged it
em is more than 12 months.
Financial instruments are measured at fair value using the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices from the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for electricity futures,
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for:
– Interest rate swaps: fair value calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on
ob
s
ervable yield curves,
– Forward foreign exchange contracts: fair value determined using forward exchange rates at the balance date,
with the re
sulting value discounted back to present value, and
– Contracts for differences: fair value determined using the inputs from active market (ASX) for electricity futures,
adjus
ted for respective location factors.
The effects
of the derivative financial instruments on the Group’s financial position and performance are as follows:

For all hedges the quantity of the hedging instrument matched the quantity of the hedged items therefore the hedge

under NZ IFRS 9).
Electricity derivatives are used to hedge highly probable cash flows associated with purchases of electricity at spot
marke
t and an ineffective portion of the hedge may occur due to a volume mismatch and location factor. During the
financial year the hedge ineffectiveness from these cash flow hedges amounted to $0.06 million.
20 Contingencies
From time to time, the Group has legal claims and exposures that arise from contracts and the Group's business in
r
e
spect of which no provision has been made. Where it is more likely than not that such a litigation will result in an
outflow of resources that is already reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded.
Apart from the contingency disclosed in Note 14
, relating to conditions attached to the site resource consents, the
Group had no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2022.
21 Events after balance date
No events after balance date occurred other than a dividend declared as per note 7.

23 Non-GAAP disclosures
Channel Infrastructure's standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Pr
actice (NZ GAAP) is net profit/(loss) after tax. Channel has used non-GAAP measures when discussing financial
performance in this report. 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 R
eporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the audited 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 in accordance with NZ IFRS. Terms are defined
as follows:

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Independent auditor’s report to the Shareholders of Channel Infrastructure
New Zealand Limited
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Channel Infrastructure New Zealand Limited (the
“Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Group”) on pages 66 to 100, which comprise the
consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended of the Group, and the notes to the
consolidated financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 66 to 100 present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022 and its
consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New
Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial
Reporting Standards.
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken
so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them
in an auditor’s 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 Company and the Company’s shareholders,
as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the
audit of the financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with 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.
Ernst & Young provides agreed upon procedures to the Group in relation to scrutineering at
shareholder meetings and in relation to half-year financial reporting. We have no other relationship
with, or interest in, the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below,
our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly,
101
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks
of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
On 1 April 2022, the Group ceased operations
as a Refinery and commenced operations as
an Import Terminal.
The Group generated total Import Terminal
Services (ITS) revenue of $79m in FY22,
which amounted to 89% of total Group
revenue from continuing operations of $88m.
While operating as a refinery, the Group
generated Processing Fee (PF) revenue of
$47m (being $11m above the fee floor
equivalent), which has been included in results
from discontinued operations.
Both ITS and PF revenues are material related
party transactions with the Group’s
shareholding oil companies, who are also its
major customers.
The recognition of revenues is based on
complex contracts, and involves consideration
of multiple performance obligations,
contractual terms and take or pay clauses.
As explained in Note 1, the Group is currently
in dispute with certain customers with regards
to the final PF invoices issued to them.
Disclosures related to revenue are included in
notes 1, 3 and 4 to the financial statements.
In obtaining sufficient audit evidence we:
► evaluated the Group’s process for recording
ITS and PF revenue.
► used digital audit techniques to assess the
correlation of revenue, trade receivables and
cash.
► confirmed the total annual ITS and pre
dispute PF revenues with each customer.
► tested payments received from the
shareholding oil companies during the year
and agreed post year-end cash receipts from
each of the shareholding oil companies to the
outstanding receivables at year end.
► With regards to the disputes we discussed
the matters with the Group’s external legal
advisors and considered associated legal
opinions; utilised our internal legal specialists
to consider the nature of the disputes and
the legal opinions; and evaluated the Group’s
process for assessing the quantum of
revenue recognised.
We also assessed the Group’s disclosures in
relation to revenue with regard to NZ IFRS 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
including the related disputes, and NZ IAS 24
Related Party Disclosures.
Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other
than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report which is expected to be made available
to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
102
Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2022 Annual Report – A business transformed
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of 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 during the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based upon 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 financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, 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 financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on
behalf of the entity 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 cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the 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 International Standards on Auditing
(New Zealand) 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 users taken on the basis of these consolidated
financial statements.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-
practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s
report.
