REVIEW OF OPERATIONS


PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES


Downer EDI Limited (Downer) is a leading provider of integrated services in Australia and New Zealand. Downer

employs approximately 33,000 people, mostly in Australia and New Zealand.


Downer operates in sectors that are closely connected to the investment that is being driven by population growth

and urbanisation. These sectors include roads, rail, light rail, other public transport, power, gas, water,

telecommunications, health, education, defence and other government sectors.


These sectors are served by Transport, Utilities and Facilities.



SUSTAINABILITY


At Downer, sustainability means sustainable and profitable growth, providing value to customers, delivering

services in a safe and environmentally responsible manner, helping its people to be better and advancing the

communities in which the Group operates.


Downer’s commitments to sustainability are outlined in its policies, which are accessible from the Downer website

(www.downergroup.com). The Group’s 2022 Sustainability Report detailing Downer’s sustainability-related

performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2022 can be found on the Company website

(www.downergroup.com/2022sustainabilityreport).


During the period, Downer also released its first Climate Change Report, which was developed to provide

information on Downer’s response to climate change, including the risks and the opportunities that addressing

climate change presents. It covers Downer’s decarbonisation journey to date and achievements, Downer’s

pathway to net zero, and the pivotal role Downer can play in the energy transition. A copy of the report is

available on the Company website

(www.downergroup.com/climate-change-report).


A core element of Downer’s sustainability approach is to focus on its customers’ success. The Group’s core

operating philosophy, ‘Relationships creating success’, encapsulates this theme. With Downer’s services

impacting millions of lives every day, the sustainability of the Group’s operations is paramount – for its people,

3
partners, shareholders, customers and their customers. Downer delivers these services, working collaboratively

with its supply chain while managing the impacts of its activities on people, the environment and communities in

which the Group operates. Downer’s extensive capability is well-placed for the decarbonisation effort that is

required to meet Australia and New Zealand’s Net Zero emissions target. The Group understands that its ability to

do this is fundamental to Downer’s long-term success.

GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The main features of the result for the six-months ended 31 December 2022 were:


Total revenue

1

of $6.1 billion, up 2.9%

Statutory EBITA

2

of $142.9 million, down 21.3%; from $181.6 million

Statutory EBITA margin of 2.3% down from 3.0% at 31 December 2021

Statutory earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $129.8 million, down 22.5%; from $167.4 million

Statutory net profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangible assets

(NPATA) of

$77.3 million,

down 19.3%; from $95.8 million

Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) of $68.1 million, down 20.6%; from $85.8 million.

Total re

venue, exc

luding contribution from divested Mining and Hospitality businesses in 1H22, increased by 8.9%.

This was led by Government and Health & Education in the Facilities segment, together with Telecommunications

in the Utilities segment.

Despite the strong revenue growth, EBITA has been negatively impacted by unprecedented wet weather, labour

shortages and productivity including c

ontract and project losses in Utilities.

Cash conversion for the period was 8.5% mainly due to timing of supplier payments on the completion of the Sydney

Growth Trains (SGT) project, settlement of prior period project claims and timing of collections. Weak operating

cash flow performance was the primary driver for the increase in gearing, up 7% to 24.8% since June 2022.

Net finance costs decreased by $5.5 million or, 12.0%, to $40.3 million driven by lower line fees

from facilities

refinanced at lower margins in FY22, lower lease interest expense, partially offset by increase in average debt

drawn as a result of lower operating cashflows.

The effective tax rate of 23.9% is lower than the statutory corporate tax rate of 30.0% primarily due to the impact of

non-taxable distributions from joint ventures and lower tax

rates in overseas jurisdictions (e.g. New Zealand).

Individually Significant Items (ISIs) totalled $9.3 million after-tax and relate to the fair value movement of the Downer

Contingent Share Options (DCSO) issued in FY21 as part of the acquisition of the remaining 12.2% interest in

Spotless. Refer to Note B4 to the Financial Report for further details.

On 8 December 2022, Downer announced that it had identified the historical misreporting of revenues and work in

progress in one of its maintenance contracts in its Australian Utilities business.

The contract is for the supply and maintenance, new connections, faults and capital works services.

As a result of the historical misreporting, post-tax earnings were overstated by a total of $22.2 million between

April 2020 and 30 June 2022, of which $1.7 million relates to FY20, $8.8 million relates to FY21 and

$11.7 million relates to FY22. Post tax earnings for the contract for the six months to 31 December 2022 was

a loss of $12 million.

Downer is confident that the misreporting was

specific to the contract and not replicated elsewhere.

EXPENSES


Total expenses increased by 3.3%, or $178.2 million, compared to the prior corresponding period (pcp). The pcp

included $100.2 million of ISIs. Excluding the impact of ISIs, total expenses increased by 5.2%, or $278.4 million.


Downer’s cost base (including ISIs) by type of expense compared to the pcp is as follows:





Employee benefits expenses decreased by 7.2%, or $135.4 million, to $1.8 billion and represents 31.4% of

Downer's cost base. Subcontractor costs increased by 16.0%, or $341.1 million, to $2.4 billion and represents

43.0% of Downer's cost base (38.3% in the pcp). Labour market conditions have resulted in increased reliance on

subcontractor labour, increasing the mix in total personnel costs. Compounding this, was the exit of Mining and

Hospitality in the comparative period which had a relatively low reliance on subcontractor labour.


Raw materials and consumables costs increased by 12.8%, or $83.9 million, to $0.7 billion and represents 13.2%

of Downer's cost base. The increase is mainly due to mix of raw materials used in line with increased activities in

building activities (Facilities segment), and in water projects (Utilities segment) together with increase in Bitumen

prices impacting the Road businesses (Transport segment).


Plant and equipment costs decreased by 10.7%, or $26.7 million, to $0.2 billion and represents 4.0% of Downer's

cost base. Total depreciation and amortisation decreased by 19.7%, or $17.5 million, to $0.2 billion and represents

2.8% of Downer's cost base. The decrease in plant and equipment costs, along with depreciation and amortisation,

is largely a result of divesting Mining in the comparative period.


Other expenses from ordinary activities, which includes communication, travel, professional fees and occupancy

costs, decreased by 5.6%, or $18.4 million and represents 5.6% of Downer's cost base.



6



CASH FLOW


Operating Cash Flow


Net cash generated by operating activities before interest and tax of $23.9 million represents a cash conversion of

8.5% of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA).


Operating cash outflow of $35.4 million was predominantly driven by timing of supplier payments on the completion

of the SGT project, settlement of prior period project claims and timing of collections.


Investing Cash Flow


Total investing cash outflow of $89.8 million is $207.8 million lower than pcp mainly driven by $247.6 million

proceeds from disposal activities during pcp.


Excluding payments for the purchase of and proceeds from the disposal of businesses in the pcp, investing cash

outflow decreased $16.9 million, or 15.8%, largely due to the comparative period including Mining, along with lower

IT spend.



DEBT AND BONDING


The Group’s performance bonding facilities totalled $1,971.4 million at 31 December 2022 with $581.3 million

undrawn. There is sufficient available capacity to support the ongoing operations of the Group.


As at 31 December 2022, the Group had liquidity of $1.6 billion comprising cash balances of $450.4 million and

undrawn committed debt facilities of $1.2 billion.


The only Group debt facility maturing in the 12 months to 31 December 2023 is a $50 million committed debt

facility.


During the period, a total of 3.85 million shares were purchased as part of the share buyback programme, for a

total consideration of $17.8 million.


The outlook on the Group’s BBB credit rating was revised from Stable to Negative by Fitch in December 2022.








7



BALANCE SHEET


The balance sheet remains in a strong position with net assets of $2.8 billion.


Since 30 June 2022, the net assets of the Group decreased by $24.6 million or 0.9% to $2.8 billion mainly driven

by the reduction in cash, offset by the increase in inventories and the reduction in trade payables and contract

liabilities as shown below:


Movement in Net Assets ($m)






Net debt is calculated as borrowings (excluding lease liabilities) less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt has

increased by $315.7 million mainly driven by $288.1 million lower cash position since 30 June 2022 as a result of

lower operating cashflows in the period.


Inventories increased by $62.5 million to $271.4 million largely due to an increase in Bitumen stock levels and

additional components and spares required for key projects.


Trade payables and contract liabilities have decreased by $254.1 million to $2.0 billion as a result of the settlement

of material supplier payments on the SGT project, reclassification of Transport Projects to Asset Held for Sale, wind

down of the Hospitality business in the comparative period, together with general working capital movements.


Total Equity decreased by $24.6 million as a result of the $17.8 million in shares bought back and $86.4 million

dividends paid during the period, which was partially offset by $68.1 million net profit after tax for the period ended

31 December 2022.

SEGMENT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE


TRANSPORT


Transport comprises Downer’s Road Services, Rail and Transit Systems and Projects businesses.




Transport

1 Total revenue is a non-statutory disclosure and includes revenue, other income and notional revenue from joint ventures and other alliances

not proportionately consolidated.

2 Downer calculates EBITA by adjusting EBIT to add back acquired intangibles amortisation expense. Due to rounding, divisional percentages

do not add up precisely to 100%.


Transport revenue increased by 1.2%, or $33.3 million, to $2.7 billion, while EBITA decreased by 14.5% to

$88.7 million. The Roads Services business continued to be heavily impacted by wet weather, labour market

challenges and increased transport and logistics costs. Strong revenue and margin performance on long term rail

maintenance contracts were impacted by bid costs.


Road Services


Downer manages and maintains road networks across Australia and New Zealand and manufactures and supplies

products and services to create safe, efficient and reliable journeys. Downer offers one of the largest non-

government owned road infrastructure services businesses in Australia and New Zealand, maintaining more than

9


UTILITIES


Downer offers a range of services to customers across the power and gas, water, telecommunications and

renewables sectors.




Utilities

1 Total revenue is a non-statutory disclosure and includes revenue, other income and notional revenue from joint ventures and other alliances

not proportionately consolidated.

2 Downer calculates EBITA by adjusting EBIT to add back acquired intangibles amortisation expense. Due to rounding, divisional percentages

do not add up precisely to 100%.


Utilities revenue increased by 12.3%, or $124.3 million, to $1.1 billion, while EBITA decreased $45.7 million to a

loss of $5.2 million. Despite the Telecommunications business in both Australia and New Zealand performing well

(both revenue and EBITA), the Utilities segment EBITA was heavily impacted by losses in a Power Maintenance

contract, a Water construction project and in a renewable windfarm project in New Zealand together with losses in

the meter reading business associated with labour availability, productivity and weather related challenges.



Power and Gas


Downer’s services include planning, designing, constructing, operating, maintaining, managing and

decommissioning transmission and distribution power assets as well as gas network assets. A collaborative

approach has made Downer a benchmark end-to-end service provider to owners of utility assets.

10


FACILITIES


The Facilities service line operates in Australia and New Zealand across a range of industry sectors including

defence, education, health, government, power & energy and industrial & marine.



Facilities


1 Total revenue is a non-statutory disclosure and includes revenue, other income and notional revenue from joint ventures and other alliances

not proportionately consolidated.

2 Downer calculates EBITA by adjusting EBIT to add back acquired intangibles amortisation expense. Due to rounding, divisional percentages

do not add up precisely to 100%.


Facilities revenue increased by 11.8%, or $238.3 million, to $2.3 billion, with a strong increase in EBITA of 11.1%

to $99.0 million. This was primarily driven by Government and Health & Education (including the reset of the

reviewable services at Royal Adelaide Hospital and Bendigo Hospital on 1 July 2022), and a recovery in Power &

Energy post a period of projects delays during COVID-19.



Facilities


Downer is the largest integrated facilities management services provider in Australia and New Zealand, delivering

property and facilities management services to government departments, agencies and authorities at the Federal,

State and municipal level. With 21 Public Private Partnership projects across the defence, education, health and

spiral gravity concentrators and magnetic and electrostatic separation technology. Mineral Technologies delivers

innovative process solutions for iron ore, mineral sands, silica sands, coal, chromite, gold, tin, tungsten, tantalum

ALL OTHER SEGMENTS

All other segments reflect the contribution of divested business units of Mining and Hospitality in the pcp. As the

divestment program is complete, there was no contribution to the Group results during the period.

11
DIVIDENDS

The Downer Board resolved to pay an interim dividend of 5.0 cents per share, unfranked, payable on 11 April 2023

to shareholders on the register at 13 March 2023. The portion of the unfranked dividend amount that will be paid

out of Conduit Foreign Income (CFI) is

44.0%.

1


The Board also determined to continue to pay a fully imputed dividend on the ROADS security, which having been

reset on 15 June 2022 has a yield of 8.14% per annum payable quarterly in arrears, with the next payment due on

15 March 2023. As this dividend is fully imputed (the New Zealand equivalent of being fully franked), the actual

cash yield paid by Downer will be 5.86% per annum until the next reset date.

Consistent with the prior year, the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan remains suspended.

ZERO HARM

Downer’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) decreased to 0.72 from 0.97 and its Total Recordable Injury

Frequency Rate (TRIFR) decreased to 2.30 from 2.57 per million hours worked

2

.

Tragically, in December 2022, an employee from Downer's Utilities business was undertaking meter reading

duties for our customer, Energy Queensland, on a property in Greenbank, south of Brisbane, when fatally

attacked by dogs on the property.

Downer extends its sincerest condolences to the worker’s family

and colleagues and continue to support them

following this tragic incident.

Downer Group Safety Performance (12-month rolling frequency rates)

This is relevant only for non-resident shareholders. The effect is that the portion of the unfranked dividend paid out of CFI is not subject to

Australian dividend withholding tax.

2

Lost time injuries (LTIs) are defined as injuries that cause the injured person (employee or contractor) to be unfit to perform any work duties

for one whole day or shift, or more, after the shift on which the injury occurred, and any injury that results, directly or indirectly, in the death of

the person. The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) is the number of LTIs per million hours worked. Total Recordable Injuries (TRIs) are

the number of LTIs plus medically treated injuries (MTIs) for employees and contractors. Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) is

the number of TRIs per million hours worked.

12
OUTLOOK

On 8 December 2022, Downer announced that it had revised its guidance for FY23 as trading for October and

November indicated that guidance was unlikely to be met. Guidance was restated as $210 million – $230 million

NPATA assuming no further material COVID-19, weather, labour shortages or other disruptions and excluding

any prior period impact from the Utilities revenue recognition issue.

Since 8 December, as part of the half year reporting process, Downer has conducted a detailed re-forecast

review and considers it appropriate to further adjust the guidance for the following items:

 Losses associated with the Utilities power maintenance contract. Whilst the contract is not considered

onerous, further losses will impact H2 until the contract reset and recovery plan take effect ($12 million

post tax);

 Heightened risk of Water project losses due to unrecoverable prolongation costs as storms and flooding

continue to impact completion ($12 million post tax);

 A slowdown in Government minor capital works based on recent customer feedback ($8 million post tax);

and

 The impact of recent floods and storms in the North Island of New Zealand have materially impacted

current operations and whilst we expect this to present opportunities in FY24, the 2H23 pipeline has been

impacted ($8 million post tax).

Downer now expects underlying FY23 NPATA to be between $170 million – $190 million assuming no further

material COVID-19, weather, labour shortages or other disruptions, and excluding restructuring costs.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


On 6 February 2023 it was announced that Downer had been selected as the preferred applicant to deliver

the Queensland Train Manufacturing Program (QTMP) which will include design, manufacture,

commissioning and maintenance of rollingstock fleet.

 On 22 February 2023, the Group announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its Australian

Transport Projects business to a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda), a large

engineering and construction company listed in Malaysia. The sale price represents an enterprise value of

$212 million and Downer will receive cash proceeds at the completion of the transaction, which is subject

to Foreign Investment Review Board approval and other customary conditions, and is expected to occur

before 30 June 2023.

 On 24 February 2023 the Group entered into a Relief agreement in one of Downer’s maintenance

contracts in its Australian Utilities business.


Downer has not incurred any significant damage to its assets resulting from the floods and storms events

in the North Island of New Zealand in January and February 2023, however the events will materially

impact operational performance through the remainder of the financial year.

Apart from matters identified above, no other matters or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2022 that has

significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations in future financial years, the results of those

operations in future financial years, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the shareholders of Downer EDI Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying

Condensed Consolidated Financial

Report

of Downer EDI Limited.

Based on our review, which is not an

audit, we have not become aware of any

matter that makes us believe that the

Condensed Consolidated Financial Report

of Downer EDI Limited does not comply

with the Corporations Act 2001, including:


giving a true and fair view of the

Group’s

financial position as at 31

December 2022 and of its

performance for the Half-year


ended

on that date; and


complying with Australian Accounting

Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial

Reporting and the Corporations

Regulations 2001.

The

Condensed Consolidated Financial Report

comprises:

•Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial

Position as at 31 December 2022;

•Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or

Loss and Other Comprehensive Income,

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in

Equity and Condensed Consolidated Statement of

Cash Flows for the Half-year ended on that date;

•Notes A to D comprising a summary of significant

a

ccounting policies and other explanatory

information; and

•The Directors’ Declaration.

The

Group


comprises Downer EDI Limited (the

Company) and the entities it controlled at the Half

year’s end or from time to time during the Half-year.

Basis for Conclusion


We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by

the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s

Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the

Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical

Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence

Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We

have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Emphasis of matter – restatement of comparative balances

Without modifying our review conclusion expressed above, we draw attention to Note A to the

Condensed Consolidated Financial Report, which states that amounts reported previously in the 30

J

une 2022 and 31 December 2021 financial reports have been restated for one maintenance contract.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for:

•the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and

fair

view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and

•such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the

Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Report that gives a true and fair view and is free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Half-year Financial Report


Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Half-year Financial Report based on our review.

ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us

believe that the Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Report does not comply with the

Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31

December 2022 and its performance for the Half-Year ended on that date, and complying with

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations

Regulations 2001.

A review of a Condensed Consolidated Half-year Financial Report consists of making enquiries,

primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and

other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain

assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.

Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Restatement of comparative balances

Downer has identified certain accounting adjustments in its Australian Utilities business involving historical misreporting of revenue and

contract assets in one of Downer's maintenance contracts. As a consequence, the Group identified accounting adjustments to prior

periods, including financial years 2020, 2021 and 2022 in relation to the measure of progress. The adjustments have been corrected by

restating each of the affected financial statement line items for prior periods.

Opening retained earnings has been restated. The following tables summarises the impacts on the Group’s Condensed Consolidated

financial statements.

Note: Opening Retained Earnings at 1 July 2021 has been adjusted by $10.6 million as a result of the restatement.

B1. Segment information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Group CEO in

assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The operating segments are identified by the Group based on

the nature of the services provided. Discrete financial information about each of these operating businesses is reported to the Group

CEO on a recurrin

g basis.

The reportable segments are based on a combination of operating segments determined by the similarity of the services provided, the

sources of the Group’s major risks that could therefore have the greatest effect on the rates of return and their quantitative contribution

to the Group's results. On 1 September 2022, the Power Systems business unit, transitioned to the Utilities Division to consolidate

Utilities work under a single division creating synergies and further opportunities in the Power, Water and Renewables sectors.

Consequently, Power Systems now forms part of the Utilities segment (previously reported as part of the Transport segment). As a

result, prior period comparative segment information has been restated.

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur

expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker in order to effectively allocate

Group resources and assess performance.

Segment description

Comprises the Group's road services, transport infrastructure and rail businesses. Downer’s road and transport

infrastructure services include: road network management; routine road maintenance; asset management systems;

spray sealing; asphalt laying; manufacture and supply of bitumen-based products and asphalt products; the use of

recycled products and environmentally sustainable methods to produce asphalt; landfill diversion solutions; intelligent

transport systems; design and construction of light rail and heavy rail networks; signalling; track and station works; rail

safety technology; and bridges. The Rail business spans all light rail and heavy rail sectors, from rollingstock to

Current period

As part of the consideration to acquire the shares in Spotless that it did not already own, the Group granted three tranches

of 2.5 million share options to the previous minority interest shareholders which are exercisable within four years of issue on

achievement of three prescribed share price targets (the Downer Contingent Share Options or DCSO). The fair value at issue date of

these options was recognised as a liability arising on the acquisition of the shares. The DCSO are classified as a liability, with

subsequent changes in the fair value recognised in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive

Income. Since 30 June 2022, the fair value of the DCSO has decreased by $9.3 million, which has been recognised through 'Other

income' in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the period. This income

is driven by the decrease in Downer’s share price from $5.05 at 30 June 2022 to $3.71 at 31 December 2022.

Fair value movement on Downer Contingent Share Option (DCSO) liability

The Group recognised the following items as individually significant as at 31 December 2021:

Prior period

Gain on sale of property, plant and equipment

Downer received notice from Sydney Metro of its intention to compulsorily acquire Downer’s land at 1A Unwin Street, Rosehill for the

purposes of the Sydney Metro West project.

The site was used to operate Downer’s primary Asphalt and recycling operations in Sydney.

Sydney Metro and Downer reached agreement under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act on the compensation

payable to Downer for the acquisition.

The transaction has resulted in Sydney Metro reimbursing Downer, on a like for like basis, for the actual costs incurred on the

construction and commissioning of a replacement facility.

Downer completed the construction of replacement facility, also in Rosehill, without any disruptions to its operations.

The difference between the historical written-down book value of the existing facility, the reimbursement of costs for the replacement

facility and relocation costs has been recognised as a $60.1 million after tax gain for the period ended 31 December 2021.

Bid costs

In the process of tendering for Queensland Train Manufacturing Program, Downer incurred $2.8 million in bid costs.

Portfolio restructure costs

As a result of the divestment program, Downer has reduced management overhead with restructuring costs of $7.6 million expensed.

The divestment program was completed following the disposal of Otraco on 1 December 2021, the sale of Open Cut Mining East on 17

December 2021, and the exit from a number of Hospitality contracts. Assets previously utilised by those businesses are no longer

utilised by the Group and have been written-off. The material elements of divestment and exit costs include:

- $13.1 million net pre-tax loss (including disposal costs) from the disposal of Otraco and Open Cut East (OCE). Refer to Note D7.

- $52.3 million pre-tax exit costs, relating to impairments of IT infrastructure and applications ($25.5 million), impairment of

right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements for leased properties ($13.3 million); and inventory write-offs and other exit costs

totalling $13.5 million.

Divestments and exit costs

Since 30 June 2021, and primarily driven by the movement in Downer’s share price from $5.59 at 30 June 2021 to $5.96 at 31

December 2021, the fair value of the DCSO increased by $5.4 million, which has been expensed through 'Other expenses' in the

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

B6. Subsequent events

On 6 February 2023 it was announced that Downer had been selected as the preferred applicant to deliver the Queensland Train

Manufacturing Program (QTMP) which will include design, manufacture, commissioning and maintenance activities of rollingstock fleet.

On 22 February 2023, the Group announced it had entered into an agreement to sell its Australian Transport Projects business to a

wholly owned Australian subsidiary of Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda), a large engineering and construction company listed in Malaysia.

The sale price represents an enterprise value of $212 million. Downer will receive cash proceeds at the completion of the transaction,

which is subject to Foreign Investment Review Board approval and other customary conditions, which is expected to occur before 30

June 2023.

On 24 February 2023, the Group entered into a Relief agreement in one of Downer’s maintenance contracts in its Australian Utilities

business.

Downer has not incurred any significant damage to its assets resulting from the floods and storms events in the North Island of New

Zealand in January and February 2023, however the events will materially impact operational performance through the remainder of the

financial year.

Apart from the above matters identified in the financial statements or notes thereto, there has not been any matter or circumstance that

has arisen since 31 December 2022 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the Group, the results of

those operations, or the state of affairs of Downer in the future.

(i) December 2021 results have been restated (Refer to Note A for further details).

(

ii) The WANOS on issue has been adjusted by the weighted average effect of the unvested executive incentive shares.

(iii) For diluted earnings per share, the WANOS has been further adjusted by the potential vesting of executive incentive shares.

(iv) The WANOS adjustment is the value of ROADS that could potentially be converted into ordinary shares at the reporting date. It is calculated based on the issued value

of ROADS in New Zealand dollars converted to Australian dollars at the spot rate prevailing at the reporting date, which was $187.3 million (December 2021: $188.4 million),

divided by the average market price of the Company’s or

dinary shares for the period 1 July 2022 to 31 December 2022 discounted by 2.5% according to the ROADS

contract terms, which was $4.72 (December 2021: $5.91).

(v) At 31 December 2022, the ROADS were deemed anti-dilutive and consequently, diluted EPS remained at 9.3 cents per share.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statementsHalf-year Report 2023
Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

for the half-year ended 31 December 2022

Refinancing requirements

Covenants on financing facilities

Downer Group’s financing facilities contain undertakings to comply with financial covenants and ensure that Group guarantors of these

facilities collectively meet certain minimum threshold amounts of Group EBITA and Group Total Tangible Assets.

Bank guarantees and insurance bonds

The Group has $1,971.4 million of bank guarantee and insurance bond facilities to support its contracting activities. $1,066.6 million of

these facilities are provided to the Group on a committed basis and $904.8 million on an uncommitted basis.

The Group has flexibility in respect of certain committed facility amounts (shown as part of the unutilised bilateral loan facilities) which

can, at the election of the Group, be utilised to provide additional bank guarantee capacity.

The main financial covenants which the Group is subject to are Net Worth, Interest Service Coverage and Leverage.

Financial covenants testing is undertaken monthly and reported at the Downer Board meetings. Reporting of financial covenants to

financiers occurs semi-annually for the rolling 12-month periods to 30 June and 31 December. Downer Group was in compliance with

all its financial covenants as at 31 December 2022.

The underlying risk being assumed by the relevant financier under all bank guarantees and insurance bonds is corporate credit risk

rather than project specific risk.

The Group will negotiate with existing and, where required, new financiers to extend the maturity date or refinance facilities maturing

within the next 12 months. The Group’s financial metrics and credit rating as well as conditions in financial markets and other factors

may influence the outcome of these negotiations. As at 31 December 2022, the Group has $50.0 million bilateral debt facility maturing

in the next 12 months.

The Group’s facilities are provided by a number of banks and insurance companies on an unsecured and revolving basis.

$1,390.1 million (refer to Note D9) of these facilities were utilised as at 31 December 2022 with $581.3 million unutilised. These

facilities have varying maturity dates between financial years 2023, 2024 and 2025.

Credit ratings

In December 2022, the outlook on the Group’s external credit rating was revised by Fitch Ratings from BBB (Outlook Stable) to BBB

(Outlook Negative). The rating remains Investment Grade. Where the credit rating is lowered or placed on negative watch, customers

and suppliers may be less willing to contract with the Group. Furthermore, banks and other lending institutions may demand more

stringent terms (including increased pricing, reduced tenors and lower facility limits) on all financing facilities, to reflect the weaker credit

risk profile.

(i)

Unvested executive incentive shares are stock market purchases and are held by the Executive Employee Share Plan Trust under the

Long-Term Incentive (LTI) plan. From the 2011 LTI plan onwards, no dividends will be distributed on shares held in trust during the

performance measurement and service periods. Accumulated dividends will be paid out to executives after all vesting conditions have

been met. Otherwise, excess net dividends are retained in the trust to be used by the Company to acquire additional shares on the

market for employee equity plans.

The fair value through OCI reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of equity investments designated as FVOCI.

Until the assets are derecognised or reclassified, this amount is reduced by the amount of loss allowance.

The equity reserve accounts for the difference between the fair value of, and the amounts paid or received for, equity transactions with

non-controlling interests including the fair value of vested DCSO.

C5. Dividends

The hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging instruments

relating to future transactions.

The foreign currency translation reserve comprises foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements

of operations where their functional currency is different to the presentation currency of the Group.

The employee benefit reserve is used to recognise the fair value of share-based payments issued to employees over the vesting

period, and to recognise the value attributable to the share-based payments during the reporting period. This reserve also includes the

actuarial gain/loss arisen on the defined benefit plan.

Calculated based on the Group’s

interest in the net assets of the

recognised in profit or loss, total assets

or total liabilities, or total equity.

– Level 1: fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

– Level 2: fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or

liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices)

– Level 3: fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

During the year there were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value hierarchies.

The following table shows the valuation technique used in measuring Level 2 and 3 fair values, as well as significant unobservable

inputs used:

Recognition and measurement

Fair value measurement

When a derivative is designated as the cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative

is recognised in Other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair

value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Valuation of financial instruments

For financial instruments measured and carried at fair value, the Group uses the following to categorise the methods used:

Recoverable amount testin

g

An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the

purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that

are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units or CGUs). Non-financial

assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

(i) The Transport Australia goodwill has reduced by $194.2 million of which $152.9 million reflects the internal reorganisation in the period and $41.3 million of goodwill

classified under Assets Held For Sale.

(ii) Utilities Australia CGU goodwill has increased by $152.9 million reflecting the internal reorganisation in the period.

Management have identified impairment indicators in relation to the increase in discount rates (WACC) and below budget performance

in a number of CGUs.

AASB 136 Impairment of Assets requires an entity to assess at each reporting date, whether there are any indicators that assets may

be impaired. If any indicators exist, the entity shall estimate the recoverable amount of the asset.

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or

changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired.

Other assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be

recoverable.

Goodwill has been allocated for impairment testing purposes to Groups of CGUs that represent the lowest level within the Group at

which goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

The potential divestment of Transport Projects (presented as an Asset Held for Sale in Note D8) enabled an operational change

impacting the Group’s internal reporting structure and the level at which performance and goodwill is monitored for the Transport and

Utilities CGUs. This has resulted in $152.9 million of goodwill in relation to the Power Systems business unit to be reclassified from the

Transport to the Utilities Group of CGUs.

The goodwill allocation to each of the Groups of CGUs (hereafter ‘CGUs’) is presented below:

The recoverable amount of the identified CGUs has been assessed using the higher of 'value in use' (VIU) and 'fair value less cost of

disposal' (FVLCD). For each CGU, this has resulted in a VIU methodology being used.

No impairment has been identified in relation to any of the Group’s non-current assets, CGUs or Groups of CGUs, with further

disclosure provided below in relation to the impairment testing of goodwill.

(iii) Budgeted revenue for June 2022 is expressed as the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) from FY22 to terminal year forecast based on the CGUs business plan.

The table below summarises the key assumptions utilised in the VIU calculations.

In assessing VIU, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that uses current market

assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU.

The Group determines the recoverable amount, using cash flow projections based on the Board approved forecast for the 6 months to

30 June 2023 and business plan for the years ending 30 June 2024 and 2025. For FY26 onwards, the Group assumes a long-term

growth rate of 2.5% to reflect the organic growth expectations of the industry.

(i) Budgeted revenue for December 2022 is expressed as the compound annual growth rates (CAGR) from FY23 to terminal year forecast based on the CGUs business plan.

(ii) EBIT margin represents the terminal year forecast margin based on the CGU's business plan. December 2022 EBIT margin for the Utilities CGU increased as a result of

Power Systems contribution to the CGU following its reallocation.

Cash flow projections are determined utilising budgeted Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) less tax, capital maintenance

spending and working capital changes, adjusted to exclude any uncommitted restructuring costs and future benefits to provide a ‘free

cash flow’ estimate. This calculated ‘free cash flow’ is then discounted to its present value using a post-tax discount rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows

have not been adjusted.

(i) Projected cash flows – including budgeted revenue and EBIT margin and the impact of COVID-19

Cash flow forecasts

Inflation and price escalation

The Group’s exposure to inflationary pressures in labour and other costs in its contracts is mitigated with contractual mechanisms and

allowances for price movements.

– Utilities Australia has been negatively impacted in the period by contract performance in a Power maintenance contract, a water

construction project, deferral of transmission line contract awards and productivity challenges arising from weather, absenteeism and

labour shortages. Benefits are anticipated from FY24 onwards from an increase in activities in wireless programs, in the water sector

and pricing in maintenance work contracts.

– New Zealand has been negatively impacted in the period by wet weather and a project loss on a renewable windfarm project. The

cashflow forecast reflects the expected benefit from increased investment in infrastructure, particularly in the transport and utilities

sectors and an increase on maintenance contracts.

Specifically, for each CGU:

In preparing the impairment models at 31 December 2022, the Group considered the experience in the last 6-months results in

developing the cash flow forecasts.

The cash flow projections through to the terminal year are based on the Group’s past experience and assessment of economic and

regulatory factors affecting the business in which the Downer businesses operate.

– Transport Australia has been negatively impacted in the first 6 months of the year by persistent wet weather resulting in a below

budget performance. With the assumption that climatic conditions improve it is expected to benefit from activity/volume growth in road

infrastructure as a result of the wet weather (e.g. from flood recovery work) and from increased Government investment in regional

Australia.

– Rail and Transit Systems performance in the first 6 months has been impacted by unbudgeted bid costs for the Queensland Train

Manufacturing Program (QTMP). The outlook is expected to benefit from new opportunities on rail fleet extensions and maintenance

contracts, increased work opportunities in Queensland (including the anticipated award of the QTMP contract announced on 6

February 2023) and from regional rolling stock maintenance contracts opportunities.

– Facilities performance in the period has been above budget with strong performance supported by volumes of work in government

backed contracts and asset services work in the Power and Energy sector. Ongoing performance is expected to benefit from a pipeline

of opportunities across its operations including:

- Health & Education has a favourable market outlook with increased Government spend to fulfil growing structural demand for

these services as well as from contract renewals/ extensions

- Government sector has significant growth opportunities to service an increasing public sector asset base, leveraging its assets

and management expertise

- Power & Energy sector has opportunities from the decarbonisation of energy generators as well as a strong rebound in

activity following deferrals of plant shutdowns and maintenance stemming from COVID-19 related disruptions

- Defence will benefit from increased Government investment on new military capability, upgrades to base infrastructure

and estate management services.

The Group has assumed a return to historical labour availability and productivity.

Sensitivities

Management believes that for all other CGUs, any reasonably possible change in the key assumptions would not cause the carrying

value of the CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Management has sensitised the impacts of potential further increases in WACC for each CGU and EBIT forecast deterioration and

concluded that despite a decline in headroom, sufficient headroom will remain for all CGUs.

The long-term annual growth rates, applicable for the periods after which detailed forecasts have been prepared, are based on the long

-

term expected GDP rates for the country of operation, adjusted as necessary to reflect industry-specific considerations. The Group

assumes a long-term growth rate of 2.50% (FY22: 2.50%) to allow for organic growth on the existing asset base.

Discount rates reflect the Group’s estimate of the time value of money and risks associated with each CGU. In determining the

appropriate discount rate for each CGU, consideration has been given to the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for

the Group adjusted for country and business risks specific to that CGU. The post-tax discount rate is applied to post-tax cash flows that

include an allowance for tax based on the respective jurisdiction's tax rate. This method is used to approximate the requirement of the

accounting standards to apply a pre-tax discount rate to pre-tax cash flows.

Compared to 30 June 2022, WACCs have increased by 44 basis points for the Australian CGUs and 73 basis points for the New

Zealand group of CGUs. This resulted in post-tax discount rates at December 2022 to be between 9.0% and 9.7% (June 2022:

between 8.5% and 8.9%). The increase reflects the inflationary Australian / New Zealand environment of the last 6-months.

The expected cash flows for capital expenditure are based on past experience and the amounts included in the terminal year

calculation are for maintenance capital used for existing plant and replacement of plant as it is retired from service. The resulting

expenditure has been compared against the annual depreciation charge to ensure that it is reasonable.

Working capital has been maintained at a level required to support the business activities of each CGU, taking into account changes in

the business cycle. It has been assumed to be in line with historic trends given the level of operating activity.

Management has identified that an unfavourable change in the EBIT margin or revenue assumption of 15.6% per year in the Utilities

CGU would give rise to nil headroom.

The recoverable amount of the Utilities CGU currently exceeds its carrying value by $144 million. Based on the modelling and analysis

performed utilising a “value in use” model, the recoverable amount of the Utilities CGU is expected to be greater than its carrying value.

Recognition and measurement

At 31 December 2022, the disposal group was stated at the lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs of disposal, and

consisted of the following assets and liabilities:

Disposal groups are recognised when a sale is considered highly probable. The assets and liabilities of this disposal groups are

disclosed separately on the basis that their value is expected to be realised through a sale event rather than continued use. Disposal

group assets are presented at the lower of their carrying value or the value expected to be realised through the sale. Any impairment to

the carrying value of the assets is recognised through the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other

Comprehensive Income.

The Assets held for sale do not include any recognition of divestment and exit costs. There is no impairment to the Assets Held For

Sale of the Transport Projects business.

D8. Disposal group held for sale

The Group has performed a strategic review of the Australian Transport Projects business and is seeking to dispose of the business.

On 22 February 2023, Downer entered an agreement to sell its Transport Projects Business to a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of

Gamuda Berhad (Gamuda), a large engineering and construction company listed in Malaysia for $212 million, subject to customary

completion adjustments.

The transaction, which is subject to Foreign Investment Review Board approval and other customary conditions, is expected to occur

before 30 June 2023. The assets and liabilities to be divested have been reclassified as current assets and liabilities held for sale at 31

December 2022.

(iv) The Group carries the normal contractors’ and consultants’ liability in relation to services, supply and construction contracts (for

example, liability relating to professional advice, design, completion, workmanship and damage), as well as liability for personal

injury/property damage during the course of a project. Potential liability may arise from claims, disputes and/or litigation/arbitration by or

against Group companies and/or joint venture arrangements in which the Group has an interest. The Group is currently managing a

number of claims, arbitration and litigation processes in relation to services, supply and construction contracts as well as in relation to

personal injury and property damage claims arising from project delivery.

(v) Downer New Zealand, an entity in the Group, has been named as co-defendant in a ‘leaky building’ claim. The leaky building claim

where the Group entity is co-defendant relates to water damage arising from historical design and construction methodologies (and

certification) for residential and other buildings in New Zealand during the early to mid 2000s. The Directors are of the opinion that

disclosure of any further information relating to the leaky building claim would be prejudicial to the interests of the Group.

(vi) In December 2022, Downer received correspondence notifying an alleged stray current defect in the depot constructed by Downer

for the High Capacity Metro Trains Project, requiring Downer to advise how it will address the rectification of that issue and alleging that

Downer is responsible for the costs of rectification. The Group does not consider it has a present obligation in relation to this matter as,

to date, the root cause has not been identified and agreed between the parties. No provision has therefore been recognised in relation

to this matter at 31 December 2022. The Directors are of the opinion that disclosure of any further information relating to this matter

would be prejudicial to the interests of the Group.

The Group is called upon to give guarantees and indemnities to counterparties, relating to the performance of contractual and financial

obligations (including for controlled entities and related parties). Other than as noted above, these guarantees and indemnities are

indeterminable in amount.

The Group has bid bonds and performance bonds issued in respect of contract performance

in the normal course of business for controlled entities

(ii) The Group is subject to product liability claims. Provision is made for the potential costs of carrying out rectification works based on

known claims and previous claims history. However, as the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be reliably determined at the date

of this report, contingent liability may exist for any amounts that ultimately become payable in excess of current provisioning levels.

(i) The Group is subject to design liability in relation to completed design and construction projects. The Directors are of the opinion that

there is adequate insurance to cover this area and accordingly, no amounts are recognised in the financial statements.

Other contingent liabilities

(iii) Controlled entities have entered into various joint arrangements under which the controlled entity is jointly and severally liable for

the obligations of the relevant joint arrangements.

Media/ASX and NZX Release

27 February 2023


DOWNER REPORTS UNDERLYING NPATA OF $68.0 MILLION

AND STATUTORY NPATA OF $77.3 MILLION

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced its financial results for the 6 months to 31 December 2022.

The main features of the results are:


 Urban Services revenue of $6.1 billion, up 8.9% from the prior corresponding period (pcp). Total

Group revenue of $6.1 billion, up 2.9% on the pcp.


 Statutory EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) of $129.8 million and statutory NPAT (net profit after

tax) of $68.1 million.


 Underlying EBITA (earnings before interest, tax and amortisation of acquired intangible assets) of

$133.6 million, down 24.5% from the pcp; statutory EBITA of $142.9 million.



 Underlying NPATA (net profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangible assets) of

$68.0 million, down 28.0% from the pcp; statutory NPATA of $77.3 million.


 Included in the result was a post-tax loss of $12 million in relation to the Utilities maintenance

contract described in today’s ASX Release: Update on Downer’s Utilities contract.


 Net Debt to EBITDA of 2.3x and Gearing of 24.8% (1 7.8% at 30 June 2022).


 Interim dividend of 5 cents per share (unfranked).


The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Grant Fenn, said it had been a challenging period for the

business in the first half of the 2023 financial year.

“Significant parts of our business have been heavily impacted by rain, storms and flooding whilst labour

mix and productivity remain an issue. Our cash conversion at 8.5% was way off our normal half end

position due to some meaty subcontractor payments on completion of our Sydney Growth Train Project

and a few large customer receipts expected in late H1 that were received in H2,” Mr Fenn said.

“The market outlook in our Transport, Utilities and Facilities businesses remains strong, which is evident

in the 9% growth in Urban Services revenue delivered in the half. Whilst we are in the right markets and

we have the right capabilities, economic conditions, particularly around labour and productivity, continue

to impact the business and the recovery from the economic effects of COVID-19 has been difficult and

continues.

“We have won a number of important contracts during the period and we are preferred on the very

significant multi-billion dollar Queensland Train Manufacturing Project, underpinning the strength of our

Rail and Transit Systems business over the next decade and beyond.”


Page 2 of 3







As announced on 1 December, Mr Fenn will today officially hand over leadership of Downer to Peter

Tompkins.

“Downer is in very capable hands with Peter stepping into the CEO role,” Mr Fenn said. “He has a deep

knowledge of the organisation and our customers, and his leadership experience across the Group, key

focus on risk management and strong resolve will be an asset to Downer going forward.

“D owner has a very bright future under Peter’s leadership, and I look forward to watching it thrive.”


Dividend

The Downer Board has declared an interim dividend of 5 cents per share, unfranked, payable on

11 April 2023 to shareholders on the register at 13 March 2023. The portion of the unfranked dividend

amount that will be paid out of Conduit Foreign Income (CFI) is 44%. The Company’s Dividend

Reinvestment Plan (DRP) remains suspended and will not operate for this dividend.


Safety

Downer’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate decreased to 0.72 from 0.97 in the prior period and its Total

Recordable Injury Frequency Rate decreased to 2.30 from 2.57 per million hours worked.

Tragically, in December 2022, an employee from Downer's Utilities business was undertaking meter

reading duties for our customer, Energy Queensland, on a property in Greenbank, south of Brisbane,

when fatally attacked by dogs on the property.

Downer extends its sincerest condolences to the worker’s family and colleagues, and we continue to

support them following this tragic incident.


Outlook

On 8 December 2022, Downer announced that it had revised its guidance for FY23 as trading for

October and November indicated that guidance was unlikely to be met. Guidance was restated as

$210 million – $230 million NPATA assuming no further material COVID-19, weather, labour shortages

or other disruptions and excluding any prior period impact from the Utilities revenue recognition issue.

Since 8 December, as part of the half year reporting process, Downer has conducted a detailed re-

forecast review and considers it appropriate to further adjust the guidance for the following items:

 Losses associated with the Utilities power maintenance contract. Whilst the contract is not

considered onerous, further losses will impact H2 until the contract reset and recovery plan take

effect ($12 million post tax);

 Heightened risk of Water project losses due to unrecoverable prolongation costs as storms and

flooding continue to impact completion ($12 million post tax);

 A slowdown in Government minor capital works based on recent customer feedback ($8 million post

tax); and

 The recent floods and storms in the North Island of New Zealand, which have materially impacted

current operations and whilst we expect this to present opportunities in FY24, the 2H23 pipeline has

been impacted ($8 million post tax).

Downer now expects underlying FY23 NPATA to be between $170 million – $190 million assuming no

further material COVID-19, weather, labour shortages or other disruptions, and excluding restructuring

costs.

Reconciliation of underlying to statutory results

Downer calculates EBITA and NPATA by adjusting EBIT and NPAT to add back acquired intangible assets amortisation expense. Group HY23: $13.1m, $9.2m after-tax. (HY22: $14.2m, $10.0m after-tax)

2

Tax of $25.3m is calculated by adjusting underlying tax of $21.4m with $3.9m tax on amortisation of acquired intangible assets

The underly ing result is a non-IFRS measure that is used by Management to assess the performance of the business. Non-IFRS measures have not been subject to audit or review

Outlook
Grant Fenn

FY23 has proven difficult to provide
accurate guidance given weather and

changing economic conditions:

▪17 August 2022 –Guidance for FY23

̶10-20% underlying NPATA growth

subject to COVID-19, weather,

labour, and other disruptions

▪3 November 2022 –AGM

̶Forecasts continue to support

guidance

▪8 December 2022 –Trading Update

̶Trading for October and November

indicates that guidance is unlikely to

be met

̶Guidance reset to $210m -$230m

contract issue)

Outlook

8 December

2022

Excluding any prior period impact of the accounting irregularities, Downer now expects underlying FY23

NPATA to be between $210 million –$230 million assuming no further material COVID-19, weather, labour

shortages or other disruptions

risks ($12m)

▪Heightened risk of Water project loss from unrecoverable prolongation costs as storms and flooding

continue to impact completion

▪Risks have materialised since 8 December

Expected slowdown in

▪Slowdown in Government minor capital works based on recent customer feedback
