Chairman’s Address


Ventia continues its strong performance since listing and strict adherence

to our purpose of providing the services that keep infrastructure working

for the communities we serve.

We are a trusted and strategic partner to our clients with some

relationships stretching back more than 30 years and many other very

long-term relationships.

With redefining service excellence as our strategy and client focus as

core driver, we see returning customers are the ultimate performance

indicator. In 2022 our client renewal rate improved to 85%. We are never

complacent about incumbency or renewal. By listening to the voice of

the customer and continually redefining service excellence, in ways

aligned to our customer needs we believe we can improve on that 85%.

Our business has real scale, on a daily basis, we mobilise up to 35,000

people across more than 400 worksites, serving more than 100 clients.

Seventy-five percent of our business is with government and 40% of our

projects and income are delivered regionally or rurally.

The broad spread of our workforce and resources gives us the best
chance for stable growth and employment market resilience, while our

sc

ale ensures we have capacity to meet demand no matter where it arises

across Australia or New Zealand.

Ventia’s strong, stable and predictable growth, regardless of market

conditions, is illustrated in our long term WIH, revenue, earnings and

cash flow performance.

Whether it be COVID or challenging labour and inflationary conditions,

Ventia’s portfolio is resilient. The essential nature of our work as well as

the limited concentration with any one client, geography or end market are

the keys to that resilience.

Dean will talk more to the detail but, it is for me to reiterate, cash backed

profits are the lifeblood of this Company and a primary focus for your

Board and management team. In 2022, cash conversion was strong at

nearly 89%.

As a result of a strong WIH position, a building revenue secured position

and a large bid pipeline, we have a high degree of confidence for 2023

and beyond.

Market growth underpins our positive revenue opportunity.

Over the next five-year period, because of the macro tailwinds listed on

the slide, we expect our addressable market will grow at greater than 6.0%

CAGR, rising by approx. $20 billion, to just under 90 billion, in FY26.

Our share of the market is currently sitting at around $5 billion or

approximately 7%. However we believe we have the strategy and

execution ability to improve our share.


Digitisation and systems are a key board focus, last year I talked about

the stability, security and scalability of our newly integrated single

enterprise platform, something unique in our sector.

In 2022, this system facilitated 30,000 users, issued 40 million work

orders, captured data inputs from our 35,000 strong workforce, 40,000 IoT

devices and 60+ drone pilots, providing data on over 5 million assets.

Importantly, as we relentlessly standardise our system, we can facilitate

innovation at scale. That means we “test & learn” or “trial” innovations.

When proven we can uptake that innovation and swiftly make it available

for contract teams across the entire enterprise.

This is no small achievement for a company of our size. That we are large

and nimble is a clear market differentiator.

Our contemporary platform provides technological and operational

resilience, for ourselves and our clients and we are increasingly seeing

demand for our systems as a service. As demand for our systems, IT and

OT advisory and data increases, we believe there will be new revenue

streams from value-add analytics over and above our Operations and

maintenance opportunity.

Over the next 5 years, we will seek to capitalise on the advantage of our

leading capability in digitisation and automation. And we will regularly

report on the raft of initiatives underway currently, which include


• installing an Operational Data Store or ODS to maximise our

capacity for analysis of big data in real time.

• improving our subcontractor recommendation engine to

automatically assess subcontractor past performance and rank


order them. This gives our people confidence we are sending out

the best performers for the job at hand.

• trialling an Australian purpose-designed asset management

software platform, Asseti. Bringing together full 3D renders of

assets and facilities with IoT data and historical and compliance

and technical data, our trial of this platform is placing us in reach of

powerful game changing technology. Dean will talk more about this.


There are, of course, further standardisation opportunities to

accommodate organic growth, value accretive acquisitions, and to

future-proof our business. Ongoing upgrades of our software and

hardware, to take advantage of relevant innovations, will help underpin

our “low cost to serve” approach.

A good example of how we think about these market and strategic

opportunities, at the Board level, is through our annual board skills matrix

review. As a result, in April, we announced Damon Rees would join the

Board on 1 July.

Damon has extensive executive and non-executive experience in client

service delivery, leadership and culture, digital enablement, and

technology innovation.

Damon has also led complex, multi-year transformational change,

organisational performance improvement, and improved client outcomes.

This unique set of skills will add both practical and strategic perspectives

to Ventia, as we pursue our differentiated strategy of Redefining Service

Excellence, and as we harness data and digital technology to aid our

clients in their service delivery and productivity.


I look forward to introducing Damon when he stands for election at our

2023 AGM.

On the important matter of cyber security.

A low-risk cyber security counterparty is critical for many of our clients

because they own critical infrastructure, and we work with sensitive data.

We have embedded security controls and protections for client data and

our system is serviced by Australians in Australia. Importantly we continue

to invest in protective measures while also training our people

continuously to remain vigilant, a vital barrier to cyber risk mitigation.

Sustainability remains a key focus for your board and leadership, our

previously communicated targets remain unchanged.

Looking at our progress, in 2022, we reduced total Scope 1 and 2

emissions by 10.6% and emissions intensity by 21.2%. We achieved this

primarily through energy reduction initiatives in plant and vehicles and

improved emissions factors from grid-sourced electricity.

Having embraced Science-Based Targets (SBTs) we are now working

towards receiving validated interim and net-zero targets. To achieve this,

we are continuing the rigorous process of implementing a consistent

system for measuring Scope 3 emissions. We remain on target to submit

to the SBT initiative in 2023.

At Ventia, we are passionate about meaningful social value and impact in

society.

We do this through our work across three social pillars: diversity and

inclusion, First Nations engagement and social procurement, and

community programs.


In terms of employment, Ventia has committed to a target of 6% First

Nations representation across the business. This responsibility is carried

broadly at all levels of our business. However, we also have a First

Nations engagement team, TRECCA who are specialist professionals.

They lean into this effort, understanding the requirements of First Nations

communities within and outside the business.

Recognizing the value of gender balance to good leadership and business

performance, throughout 2022, we continued our journey toward the

HESTA 40:40 Vision. We are targeting gender balance for our Executive

team by 2030 with interim targets of 30% and 35% in 2023 and 2027

respectively. Pleasingly, we have already exceeded our 2023 target with

the Executive team currently sitting at 33% female.

Building and sustaining gender balance in our broader workforce offers

up some challenges, particularly because of the regional and heavy

industrial nature of some of the work we perform. In 2022, we saw a 1.2%

decline across our female participation, which led to a renewed strategy

to retain, develop and attract more women across all levels of the

business.

Our 2022 Sustainability Report provides detailed commentary and

examples of the initiatives that we are undertaking to create value for all

our stakeholders.

Looking to the future, strong industry tailwinds across our four sectors give

us confidence that over the next five-year period, our addressable market

will grow in both Australia and New Zealand - the two geographies in

which we operate.

Given our compelling value proposition, dedicated focus on client

outcomes, quality leadership and our best in class integrated standard


operating systems, we feel confident we can increase our market share in

the foreseeable future.

With a relentless focus on risk management and cash backed profits, we

aim to convert 80-95% EBITDA to cash, and deliver 75% net profit after

tax and amortisation in dividends, while delivering on our commitment to

sustainable value creation for all stakeholders.

I want to take the opportunity to thank the entire Ventia team from our

frontline to our supervisors, sub-contractors, leadership team and our

board for making it possible for me to deliver such a positive outlook for

our business.


CEO Address

Our first year as a listed company was a rewarding and successful one

for Ventia.  

We delivered on the prospectus forecast with disciplined management,

never losing sight of the importance of cash backed profits which have

yielded sustainable dividend growth.

Our people are at the heart of our business and proudly, a key market

differentiator. As Team Ventia, we have delivered outstanding safety

performance in our pursuit to re-define service excellence.

As we look forward to 2023, the future is exciting. A positive market

outlook, strong tailwinds together with unwavering commitment to robust

governance and a prudent risk culture, provides confidence in the future

of the business.

In this discussion, I am going to explain why we have conviction in that

confidence, and how we are well positioned to continue to provide long

term sustainable value to you, our shareholders.


Our Full Year 2022 results were excellent – the results are not only

consistent with, but in many instances, exceed our forecasts.

We achieved full year revenue of $5.2 billion, growing 13.4% on last year.

EBITDA was $420 million, an increase of 10.5 per cent and margin was

8.1 per cent.

NPATA was particularly pleasing at $179.6m - up 22 per cent on 2021.

Our operating cash flow conversion remained high at 88.9%, up 4

percentage points.

Our work-in -hand reached $18 billion, growing 7.1 per cent compared to

this time last year.

This was underpinned by our strong client renewal rate of 85 per cent.

The effectiveness of our emerging growth strategies is evidenced in the

$2.1 billion of new work or secured with new clients.

It is that confidence that underpins our ability to reaffirm guidance in the

range of 7 to 10 per cent NPATA growth.

Our results both for 2022 and those that we are forecasting for next year,

are reflective of the strength and resilience of the Ventia portfolio and the

passion for excellence of our people.

Our business is organised into four units, Defence & Social Inf rastructure,

Infrastructure Services, Telecommunications and Transport.

Defence and Social infrastructure is our largest sector by revenue. We

support 70% of the Australia’s Defence force bases, 55% of NSW’s social

housing and millions of additional assets for state and local governments.

Infrastructure Services is where we offer the widest range of services

across the mining, energy, water and the oil and gas industries. Our scope


of capability spans from environmental remediation projects like Ranger

mine in Kakadu to rig & well maintenance services in the Perth Basin.

In telecommunications, Ventia is the number one telecommunications

infrastructure services provider in Australia and New Zealand.

We house end-to-end capability that includes planning, design, minor

construction, commissioning, and maintenance. We have installed and

commissioned 50,000 kms of fibre – greater than the circumference of the

Earth2 and connected 6 million premises. We manage more than 1.5

million assets on behalf of Telstra, NBN, Optus, and Chorus among other

clients.

In Transport, Ventia is the largest private motorway and tunnel operator

in Australia. We have 9,500 km of road under maintenance including

55,000 traffic lights, intelligent signage systems and devices. We provide

maintenance, asset management and incident response and recovery

services. If you were to break down in any number of places, for example

in the Sydney Harbour Tunnel, it will be Ventia that comes to your rescue.

These brief examples underscore the immense scale and technical

diversity of our business.

Turning to our strategy. 

Since I joined the business, one of my objectives has been to galvanise

Ventia’s uniquely differentiated position in the marketplace.

Throughout 2022, we embedded our strategy to Redefine Service

Excellence by being client focussed, innovative and sustainable.

The strategy – which is elegant in its simplicity - represents an inspiring

and unifying focus for the business.

I am proud to say that as we travel around the business to any of the

400-plus field locations, corporate headquarters or satellite of fices, my


executive leadership team and I are buoyed by the passion and

dedication we are seeing amongst our people and the many ways in

which they are working to deliver on the strategy.  

Pleasingly, the results began to show in 2022 not only on the balance

sheet, but through industry recognition.

While there are too many awards to list now, I will touch on a few:


• We won 4 major awards for sustainability achievements

• We achieved ISCA certification and an excellent rating from

Infrastructure Sustainability Council

• We received the Australian Defence Industry Award and Australian

Business Award. 

• We received the Customer Service Project of the Year from the

Customer Service Institute of Australia and the NBN Supplier of

the Year Award - both in our telecommunications business.

Now I want to bring to life some of the real examples of our strategy in

action.

Attaining true client centricity lies at the center of our success. This year

we have been working hard to better understand our clients’ needs and

better structure our service provision to meet those needs.

In addition to our single enterprise-wide systems and processes, the other

backbone of Ventia’s client focus is our Operations Centre (the ‘VOC’).

The VOC supports the whole of Ventia’s operations, last year they took

over 1.2 million calls, managed 26 major incidents and created over

500,000 work orders. It is a key service offering for our clients and

differentiator for Ventia.


In the last year the team transitioned-in 10 additional contracts, achieved

a customer satisfaction score above 90%, and recorded the lowest

number of complaints and escalations.

Today our VOC is doing more business better for our clients.

That is why the Ventia Operations Centre or VOC received the 2022

Group CEO Annual Award for redefining service excellence through client

focus.

In 2023, with a new menu of services and single operating system, the

VOC will scale up resources to introduce 18 additional projects.

Today we have a staff complement of 320+ operating from our hub in

Paramatta and across 5 satellite centers strategically spread across ANZ.

I am very pleased to announce we are set to open an all -new state of the

art VOC facility in Cremorne. We will be inviting stakeholders to come and

visit this innovative facility and gain a better appreciation of our scale and

the expert capability we can deploy to support our customers.

Innovation is a key value driver within the business and is a necessary

complement to true client centricity.

In the Defence business, the asset management team is deploying IT

tools to digitise and automate their approach to asset management. We

built an interactive dashboard to bring together IoT sensor data, historical

work order information, and compliance and technical data.

This “Metabase” has become a single source of truth for Defence assets

and their management. This platform is enabling us to increasingly deliver

proactive and predictive maintenance, rather than reacting to service

disruption.

The Metabase is one part of a wider Asset Management Optimisation

Program that has provided significant financial outcomes for our client. To


date, the Asset Management team delivered substantial savings including

$1.9 million to Defence as a function of permanent removal of tasks from

our fixed fee.

The Metabase and its underlying IT platforms ha ve massive potential to

deliver a leap forward in digitisation and automation, enhancing the

delivery of service excellence in our core business for Defence but

importantly this platform can and is being deployed across our entire

enterprise.

Moving now to our last strategy pillar – sustainable.

As a people business, one of the most powerful ways we can create a

lasting and positive legacy is through employment opportunities.

I am focused on creating a diverse, inclusive, and cohesive culture where

everyone can flourish. A culture that respects and gives opportunity to

every person.

Our efforts to create a cohesive culture – one with flexibility, diversity,

inclusion, and sustainability at its core, is yielding positive results.

Last year 4.8% of our work force identified as a first nations person, today

we employed more than 250 people with a disability.

We and are working with groups like career seekers and career trackers

to provide opportunity and support for refugees, asylum seekers and First

Nations students.

The image on the slide features Daniel (who gave us permission to tell his

story).

Daniel is on the Autism spectrum. Previously, his ability to find suitable

and meaningful work has been challenging.


His first attempt at entering the workforce was an application for a

warehouse assistant role. Offered only $12 an hour due to his disability,

Daniel decided he would find an employer who understands his value and

needs.

After a zoom interview with Ventia, Daniel was offered a job as a school

cleaner. Daniel has successfully navigated his probationary period and

loves the new possibilities that are now available to him.

We have paired Daniel with our Disability Support Coordinator, who will

stay with Daniel through his employment journey with Ventia. He currently

works at a school for children with a disability and truly enjoys it. Daniel is

a much-valued member of staff.

As I ha ve described previously, people are at the heart of our business.

We have circa 15,000 employees and 20,000 or more contractors. To

these people our number one promise is their safety.

Maintaining the conditions that keep our people safe and well at work is

an unrelenting effort which is the responsibility of every person in the

business. In 2022, as David mentioned, we achieved a material reduction

in our key safety stats. This is the outcome of a clear focus from senior

management, a positive leadership shadow and numerous impactful

initiatives.

For example, 1,300 frontline leaders undertook our Safe for Life Initiative,

and 26,000 people engaged in our safety, health, and environment

training.

One hundred and eighty people stepped up to be healthy minds

champions making themselves available to support their colleagues’

mental health.


We continued designing and running awareness campaigns including our

industry leading What’s Up campaign comprising a raft of high-quality

materials that our contract teams pull down into every site office and

toolbox talk to raise awareness and enhance safe practices.

Representing 29% of our employed workforce, women are high priority for

us, and we are working very hard to attract women with the right skills and

credentials for managerial and leadership roles, and across our workforce

more broadly.

In other initiatives, we proudly achieved the Rainbow Tick for LGBTQI+

inclusivity in New Zealand; partnered with organisations including Soldier

On Australia to support the employment of Veterans and attracted more

of the best and brightest graduates in our increased 2023 intake.

To conclude, I am extremely encouraged by our positive start to listed

life. I trust we have demonstrated to date that we have a clear strategy to

create value. Our addressable market is growing, and I think we are well

positioned to take advantage.  Strong financial discipline is in our DNA,

and we’ll continue our relentless focus on delivering cash backed profits. 

Our liquidity position is enviable, our gearing prudent and our costs tightly

managed.

We have a robust platform in place with an excellent track record of

performance and long-term strategic relationships.

Beyond the numbers, we are purpose led: it’s our job to make

infrastructure work for our communities. We understand we play a critical

role in the lives of millions of people who rely on the essential

infrastructure we service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days of the

year.

I have learned through my experiences that mental health is not biased. It can affect the

Sustainable

We recognise that every decision and

action we take is an opportunity to make

a positive impact on the people and world

around us

As a people organisation, one of the most powerful way we can

make a lasting and positive legacy is through employment

opportunities

Daniel is on the Autism spectrum, his ability to work in

particular roles can be challenging and when trying to find a

position, he was knocked back or deemed not the right fit.

The support from Ventia and their willingness to better

understand Daniel’s needs are what make the company a stand-

out employer and the key reason for him to thrive.

“Ventia is an amazing company to work for.

They even paired me with a Disability

Support Coordinator whose name is also

Daniel, and he’s helped me so much since day

one.” said Daniel.
