REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

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

employs approximately 31,000 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 Downer’s Transport, Utilities and Facilities segments.

Divestments during the reporting period

In the year ended 30 June 2023, Downer completed the divestment of the Australian Transport Projects business to a

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

remained a number of customer consents outstanding at the date of completion. Consents for these contracts were

received during the period and the divestment of these contracts completed in the half-year ended 31 December 2023.

In the half-year ended 31 December 2023, Downer also:

Completed the sale of the remaining part of its Australian Mechanical and Electrical Commercial Projects

business (‘Asset & Development Services’) to existing managers of the business. The Asset & Developm

ent

Refer to note D6 for further detail on divestments.

SUSTAINABILITY

At Downer, sustainability means being environmentally sustainable as well as prioritising the safety of our people,

achieving sustainable growth, building trusted relationships and ensuring we have a diverse and inclusive workforce.

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

3
(www.downergroup.com). The Group’s 2023 Sustainability Report details Downer’s sustainability related

performance for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 and can be found on the Company website

(www.downergroup.com/2023sustainabilityreport).

As Downer’s transformation program is underway, Downer is evolving our Purpose and Promise and updating our

Pillars. In FY23, Downer changed its Purpose to articulate a higher ambition. With sustainability at the forefront of how

organisations build strategy, allocate capital and contribute to activities that support energy transition, it was important

for Downer to articulate our ambition in a way that resonates more meaningfully with all stakeholders.

Downer embeds sustainability in the way we deliver our services and operate our business across the Tasman.

Downer’s new Purpose is: ‘Enabling communities to thrive’. With Downer’s services impacting millions of lives every

day, the sustainability of the Group’s operations is paramount – for its people, partners, shareholders, customers and

their customers. Downer delivers these services while managing the impacts of its activities on people, the environment

and the communities in which the Group operates whilst working collaboratively with its supply chain. Downer’s

capability is well placed for the energy transition and decarbonisation effort that is required to meet Australia and New

Zealand’s respective net zero emissions targets.

For further information please refer to Downer’s 2022 Climate Change Report which can be found on the Company

website (www.downergroup.com/climate-change-report). This Climate Change Report has been prepared to

provide shareholders and potential shareholders with information on Downer’s net zero targets, approach to climate

risks and opportunities as well as our climate-related plans, activities, and disclosures in accordance with the Taskforce

for Climate related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which has now been integrated into the International Sustainability

Standards.

ZERO HARM

Downer remains steadfastly committed to Zero Harm. Protecting our people, communities and the environment is and

will always be Downer’s number one priority. Since 31 December 2022, Downer’s Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate

(LTIFR) increased to 0.96 from 0.72, and its Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) increased to 2.77 from

2.30 per million hours worked

1

. Incidents are investigated with actions to prevent recurrence identified and tracked to

closure. Relevant lessons are shared across Business Units. Trends are reviewed and addressed at the Business

Unit level and are considered by Communities of Practice, as relevant.

Sadly, in the half-year two fatal incidents occurred. A staff member was fatally injured during asphalting operations

while working in regional New South Wales, and a subcontractor died while operating a dozer undertaking land-clearing

activities in the South Burnett region of Queensland. Downer extends its condolences to these workers’ families,

colleagues, and employers.

1

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.

GROUP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

The main features of the result for the 6 months ended 31 December 2023 were:


 Total revenue

1

of $6.0 billion, down 1.9% on prior comparative period (pcp)

 Statutory EBITA

2

of $139.2 million, down 2.6% on pcp

 Underlying

3

EBITA of $150.5 million, up 12.6% on pcp

 Underlying EBITA margin of 2.5%, an increase from 2.2% in the pcp

 Statutory earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $127.6 million, down 1.7% on prior year

 Statutory profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangible assets (NPATA) of $80.2 million, up

3.8% on pcp

 Statutory profit after tax (NPAT) of $72.1 million, up 5.9% on pcp.


Total revenue of $6.0 billion decreased by 1.9% on the prior period. Growth in Rail and Transit Systems in the Transport

segment and the Utilities business was offset by the divestment of the Australian Transport Projects and Asset and

Development Services businesses in the Transport and Facilities segments respectively.


Underlying EBITA of $150.5 million increased 12.6% on the prior period. This was attributable primarily to a recovery

in earnings from the Utilities business compared to a loss in the prior year, in addition to improved performance in the

Projects business in New Zealand. This was offset by the divestment of the Australian Transport Projects and Asset

and Development Services businesses.


Cash conversion for the period was 73.4%. Cash conversion was impacted by payments associated with FY23 and

HY24 Individually Significant Items (together $20.7 million), as well as the Australian Transport Projects GST payment

of $23.5 million as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the FY23 Annual Report. Normalising for

these cash outflows, underlying cash conversion equates to 87.7%.


Net finance costs increased by $7.1 million or, 17.6%, to $47.4 million driven by an increase in average cost of funds

on reduced net debt, partially offset by higher interest on cash.


The underlying effective tax rate of 25.7% 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 a $11.3 million loss before interest and tax for the year, ($4.1 million profit

after-tax). Additional information is provided on the following pages of the Review of Operations and in Note B4 to the

Financial Report.

decreased by $1.2 million with a gain recognised in ‘Other income’ in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other

Comprehensive Income during the period.

Refer to

Note B4 to the Financial Report for further details.

EXPENSES

Total expenses decreased by 2.4% compared to the prior corresponding period (pcp) to $5.5 billion. Included in total

expenses is $53.2 million of ISIs (nil in the pcp). Downer’s cost base (including ISIs) by type of expense compared to

the pcp is as follows:

Employee benefits expenses decreased by 0.4%, or $7.6 million, to $1.7 billion and represents 32.0% of Downer’s

cost base. The decrease in labour expenses is broadly consistent with the reduction in revenue, with growth in

Segments offset by divestments including Australian Transport Projects and Asset & Development Services.

Subcontractor costs decreased by 4.2%, or $102.2 million, to $2.3 billion and represents 42.2% of Downer’s cost

base. The decrease in subcontractor costs as a percentage of overall expenses is due to the higher use of

subcontractors in the divested Australian Transport Projects business.

Raw materials and consumables costs decreased by 11.2%, or $82.9 million, to $0.7 billion and represents 12.0% of

Downer’s cost base. The decline was predominantly due to the decrease in construction activities following the

divestment of the Australian Transport Projects business.

Plant and equipment costs decreased by 3.0% or $6.6 million to $0.2 billion, as a result of the divestment of Australian

Transport Projects. Total depreciation and amortisation increased by 5.8%, or $9.4 million, to $0.2 billion and

represents 3.1% of Downer’s cost base. Of the $9.4 million increase in depreciation and amortisation, $8.0 million

relates to accelerated amortisation in relation to IT assets and is listed as an ISI related to transformation and

restructure costs (Refer to Note B4). Impairment of non-current assets expense of $12.1 million relates to IT assets

that will no longer be utilised or provide future economic benefit as a result of transformation and business restructuring.

Refer to Note B4 for additional information.

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

increased by $45.1 million to $0.4 billion, primarily due to $31.4 million of individually significant items (pre-tax) as

described in Note B4 of the Financial Report, increased communications spend from Software as a Service technology

investment and inflation.

CASH FLOW

Operating Cash Flow

Operating cash flow of $168.2 million represents an underlying cash conversion of 73.4% of adjusted earnings before

interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA). Cash conversion was impacted by payments associated with

FY23 and HY24 Individually Significant Items (together $20.7 million), as well as the Australian Transport Projects

GST payment of $23.5 million as highlighted in the FY23 Annual Report. Normalising for these cash outflows,

underlying cash conversion equates to 87.7%.

8
Investing Cash Flow

Total investing cash inflow of $1.0 million includes $70.7 million proceeds from the disposal of businesses during the

period, net of cash disposed. Refer to note D6 for details.

Excluding proceeds from the disposal of businesses, investing cash outflow decreased by 22.4% or $20.1 million to

$69.7 million largely due to less capital expenditure in the Transport Segment with a number of asphalt plant projects

nearing completion.

DEBT AND BONDING

The Group’s performance bonding facilities totalled $2,190.2 million at 31 December 2023 with $763.4 million

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

As at 31 December 2023, the Group had liquidity of $1.9 billion comprising cash balances of $553.4 million and

undrawn committed debt facilities of $1.3 billion.

The Group has a BBB credit rating with Negative outlook from Fitch.

BALANCE SHEET

Since 30 June 2023, the net assets of the Group increased by $12.4 million.

Movement in Net Assets ($m)

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

decreased by $34.1 million driven by cash generated in the period enabling the repayment of borrowings.

Property, Plant & Equipment decreased by $30.4 million during the period largely attributable to the sale of the Metering

Services business’ assets and contracts (Refer to Note D6) and disposals in the Transport segment.

Intangibles have declined by $33.3 million to $2.1 billion, primarily due amortisation of software and system

development assets totalling $25.5 million and impairment of $12.1 million as outlined in Note B4.

Net working capital, which includes current trade receivables and contract assets, in addition to current trade payables

and contract liabilities, increased by $79.8 million mainly driven by a decrease in trade payables.

Total Equity increased by $12.4 million, primarily as a result of the statutory profit after tax of $72.1 million, offset by

$60.3 million of dividends paid during the period.

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 decreased by 1.9%, or $60.4 million, to $3.1 billion, while EBITA decreased by 1.1% or $1.1

million to $100.8 million. The decrease in revenue and EBITA was attributable to the divestment of the Australian

Transport Projects business. This was offset by growth in other parts of the Transport segment. Revenue growth was

delivered in the Rail & Transit Systems business from the ramp up of the Queensland Trains Manufacturing Program

(QTMP) contract in the period. EBITA growth in both the Roads and Projects business in New Zealand partially

offset the impact of the Australian Transport Projects divestment and commercial settlements on rail refurbishment

projects.

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.

Downer creates and delivers solutions to its customers’ challenges through strategic asset management and a leading

portfolio of products and services. Downer is a leading manufacturer and supplier of bitumen-based products and an

innovator in the sustainable asphalt industry and circular economy, using recycled products and environmentally

sustainable methods to produce asphalt.

During the period Downer announced and completed the sale of its 45 per cent interest in Repurpose It, a resource

recovery joint venture business operating in Victoria.

Rail and Transit Systems

Downer has over 100 years’ rail experience providing end-to-end, innovative transport solutions. Downer is a leading

provider of rollingstock asset management services in Australia, with expertise in delivering whole-of-life asset

management support to its customers. Downer’s capability spans all sectors, from rollingstock to infrastructure, and

every project phase, from design and manufacture to through-life-support, fleet maintenance, operations and

comprehensive overhaul of assets.

The Keolis Downer joint venture is Australia’s largest private provider of multi-modal public transport solutions, with

contracts to operate and maintain Yarra Trams in Melbourne, the Gold Coast light rail system in Queensland, Adelaide

10
Metro and an integrated public transport system for the city of Newcastle in New South Wales. Keolis Downer is also

one of Australia’s most significant bus operators.

Projects

Downer provides building and construction solutions across a variety of sectors in New Zealand, including the design

and construction of track and station works, signalling, bridges, airports and roads. Through the Hawkins business,

Downer also delivers vertical construction to customers in New Zealand. Downer has a long history of delivering

infrastructure projects under a variety of contracting models.

In the year ended 30 June 2023, Downer completed the divestment of the Australian Transport Projects business to a

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

remained a number of customer consents outstanding at the date of completion. Consents for these contracts were

received and the divestment of these contracts completed in the half-year ended 31 December 2023.

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 re

venue increased by 6.6%, or $75.3 million, to $1.2 billion, while EBITA increased $23.9 million to $18.7

million compared to a loss of $5.2 million in the prior period. An ongoing turnaround in performance of a power

maintenance contract in the Australian operations of the Power and Gas business and modest improvement in the

Water portfolio underpinned the improvement in earnings. Revenue and EBITA was also supported by strong growth

in the Telco business, particularly in Australia.

Power and Gas

Downer’s services include planning, designing, constructing, o

perating, 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.

Downer constructs and maintains electricity and gas networks, provides asset inspection and monitoring services,

connects tens of thousands of new power and gas customers each year and provides meter, energy and water

efficiency services for governments, utilities and corporations.

11
Water

Downer is dedicated to delivering complete water lifecycle solutions for municipal and industrial water users.

Downer’s expertise includes water treatment, wastewater treatment, water and wastewater network design

construction, maintenance and rehabilitation, desalination and biosolids treatment.

Facilitie

s revenue decreased by 8.9%, or $159.6 million, to $1.6 billion, while EBITA was flat during the period at $85.8

million. The decrease in revenue compared to the prior period was primarily attributable to the divestment of the Asset

and Development Services business. EBITA was flat with an improvement in margin percentage due to low contribution

from the divested Asset and Development Services business in the prior period.

Government and Health & Education

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 leisure

sectors, Downer provides innovative management of its customers’ assets across their lifecycle.

DIVIDENDS

The Downer Board resolved to pay an interim dividend of 6.0 cents per share, unfranked, payable on 11 April 2024 to

shareholders on the register at 14 March 2024. The portion of the unfranked dividend amount that will be paid out of

Conduit Foreign Income (CFI) is 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 2023 has a yield of 9.81% per annum payable quarterly in arrears, with the next payment due on 15

March 2024. As this dividend is fully imputed (the New Zealand equivalent of being fully franked), the actual cash yield

paid by Downer will be 7.06% per annum until the next reset date.

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

OUTLOOK

Downer reiterates that FY24 is an important year in the company’s turnaround program, and notes the following:

Labour market challenges remain, however they have stabilised.

The new operating model is demonstrating results in terms of accountability and efficiency.

Downer is focused on delivering tendered margins across the portfolio and the targeted cost out programs.

Downer anticipates continued EBITA margin percentage improvement in H2 through a combination of cost out and

improving operational performance towards its management target of >4.5% in FY25.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At the date of this repo

rt, there is no matter or circumstance that has arisen since 31 December 2023, that has

significantly affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the

state of affairs of the Group in subsequent financial years.

1

This is relevant only for non-resident shareholders. The effect is that the entire dividend will be subject to Australian dividend withholding tax.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To the shareholders of Downer EDI Limited

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying

Condensed Consolidated Financial

Report for the half-year ended 31

December 2023 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

for the half-year ended 31 December 2023

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 2023 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 for

the half-year ended 31 December 2023 comprises:



Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial

Position as at 31 December 2023;


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 material accounting

policies and other explanatory information;


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.

15

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Condensed Consolidated Financial Report for the
half-year ended 31 December 2023

The Directors of the Company are responsible for:


the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Report for the half-year ended 31

December 2023 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 Financial Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Report

for the half-year ended 31 December 2023

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Report for

the half-year ended 31 December 2023 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 Financial Report for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 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 2023 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 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.

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 Group CEO is identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker. 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 recurring 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.

Following the restructure of the Group and the creation of a Trans-Tasman operating model, the Hawkins building business was transitioned

from the Facilities segment to the Transport segment. This restatement was made to align with how the businesses are reported internally to

the Group CEO.

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

businesses in New Zealand. Downer’s road services include: road network management; routine road maintenance; asset

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

The Group recognised the following items as individually significant as at 31 December 2022:

Prior 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 on 12 August 2020 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 2023, the fair

value of the DCSO liability has decreased by $1.2 million, with a gain recognised through ‘Other income’ in the Condensed Consolidated

Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the year.

During the period, divestment and exit costs were recognised in relation to a number of transactions. Refer to note D6 for further details on

the individual transactions.

The material elements of the net gain on divestments and exit costs include:

- $40.

7 million net pre-tax gain (including disposal costs) across the divestments;

- $6.

9 million pre-tax transaction-related expenses and provisions associated with Downer’s ongoing obligations and ri

sks

associat

ed with divestments.

- C

arried forward capital losses on which a deferred tax asset has not been previously recognised have been used to fully offset capital

gains ar

ising on divestments during the period. A deferred tax asset has not been recognised on remaining carried forward capita

l

losses of $28.

4 million at 31 December 2023 as it is not probable that a future capital gain will arise.

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

Net gain on divestments and exit costs

Since 30 June 2022, the fair value of the DCSO liability decreased by $9.3 million, with a gain recognised through 'Other income' in the

Condensed Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income during the period. This income was driven by the

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

Impairment of assets relates to adjustment in the carrying value, and related provisions recognised on IT and other assets that will no longer

be utilised or provide future economic benefit as a result of transformation and business restructuring.

Transformation and restructure costs

Transformation and restructure costs represent costs incurred following Downer’s commencement of the Transformation program to

restructure its operating model. The material elements of the costs associated with the transformation and restructure are as follows:

- Tr

ansformation program related expenses including advisory and redundancy costs incurred during the period;

- Acceler

ated amortisation in relation to IT assets where the useful life was reassessed at 30 June 2023 against the Group’s new operat

ing

m

odel.

Regulatory reviews and legal matters

Regulatory review and legal matters costs were incurred in relation to defending the shareholder class actions filed against Downer during the

prior financial year, responding to regulatory reviews, undertaking business conduct reviews and investigations, and other legal matters.

The shareholder class actions claims have been disclosed as a contingent liability in Note D8.

(ii) For diluted earnings per share, the WANOS has been further adjusted by the potential vesting of executive incentive shares of 353,255 (December 2022: nil).

(iv) At 31 December 2023, the ROADS were deemed anti-dilutive and consequently, diluted earnings per share remained at 9.8 cents per share.

At the date of this report, there is no matter or circumstance that has arisen since the end of the financial period, that has significantly

affected, or may significantly affect, the operations of the Group, the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the Group in

subsequent financial periods.

(iii) 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 $185.7 million (December 2022: $187.3 million), divided by the

average market price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the period 1 July 2023 to 31 December 2023 discounted by 2.5% according to the ROADS contract terms, which was $4.05

(December 2022: $4.72).

Refinancing requirements

Covenants on financing facilities

The 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 $2,190.2 million of bank guarantee and insurance bond facilities to support its contracting activities. $1,301.3 million of these

facilities are provided to the Group on a committed basis and $888.9 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 Board meetings. Reporting of financial covenants to financiers occurs

semi-annually for the rolling 12-month periods to 30 June and 31 December. The Group was in compliance with all its financial covenants as

at 31 December 2023.

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 2023, the Group has $75.0 million of undrawn debt facilities maturing

within the 12 months to 31 December 2024.

The Group’s facilities are provided by a number of banks and insurance companies on an unsecured and revolving basis. $1,426.8 million

(refer to Note D8) of these facilities were utilised as at 31 December 2023 with $763.4 million unutilised. These facilities have varying maturity

dates between financial years 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

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 Negative Outlook was affirmed by Fitch in September 2023 following release of the Group’s results for the year ended 30 June

2023. 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.

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.

Fair value throu

gh OCI reserve

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

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.

C4. Reserves

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.

Foreign currency forward contracts

Unquoted equity investments

Calculated using forward exchange

rates prevailing at the balance sheet

date.

Not applicable.

Calculated based on the Group’s

interest in the net assets of the

unquoted entities.

Assumptions are made with regard to

future expected revenues and discount

rates. Changing the inputs to the

valuations to reasonably possible

alternative assumptions would not

significantly change the amounts

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

liabilit

y, 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:

Valuation techniqueSignificant unobservable input

Calculated using the present value of

the estimated future cash flows based

on observable yield curves.

Not applicable.

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:

Recogni

tion and measurement

On 20 June 2023, Downer announced it completed the sale of its Australian Transport Projects business to DT Infrastructure Pty Ltd, a

Gamuda Berhad group company (Gamuda). There were a number of contracts with customer consents outstanding at the date of completion.

These contracts remained with Downer until the consents were received.

Downer entered into an agreement to sell the remaining part of its Australian Mechanical and Electrical Commercial Projects business (‘Asset

& Development Services’) to existing managers of the business. The transaction was completed in FY24.

The assets and liabilities of the contracts to be divested were reclassified as current assets and liabilities held for sale at 30 June 2023.

At 30 June 2023, the disposal groups were 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 these disposal groups are disclosed

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

(vii)In early 2023, four competing shareholder class actions were filed against Downer following announcements it published with the ASX on

8 D

ecember 2022 and 27 February 2023. Each class action alleged a breach of Downer’s continuous disclosure obligations and that it

engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct by making and/or failing to correct or qualify various statements in connection with

a

m

aintenance contract in its Australian Utilities business and Downer’s financial performance.

On 28 August 2023, three of the class actions (commenced by plaintiffs represented by Maurice Blackburn, William Roberts and Piper

Alderman) were consolidated (Lidgett Proceeding). On 27 September 2023, the Supreme Court of Victoria selected the Lidgett Proceeding to

be prosecuted and stayed the other class action commenced by a plaintiff represented by Quinn Emanuel (Kajula). While Kajula has applied

for leave to appeal that decision, timetabling orders have been made in the Lidgett Proceeding which require Downer to file its defence on

1 March 2024.

Downer intends to vigorously defend whichever class action ultimately proceeds.

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

Cont

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

High Capacit

is

r

esponsible for the costs of rectification. 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.

(iv)

The G

roup 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 dam

14 February 2024


DOWNER REPORTS PRO FORMA EBITA OF $149.0 MILLION (GROWTH OF

29.3%) AND STATUTORY NPAT OF $72.1 MILLION (GROWTH OF 5.9%)

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced its financial results for the six months to 31 December 2023.

The main features of the results are:


 Total revenue

1

of $6.0 billion, down 1.9% from the prior corresponding period (pcp). On a pro forma

basis, excluding divested Business Units, total revenue increased 7.3% to $5.8 billion.


 Statutory NPAT of $72.1 million, up 5.9% from the pcp.


 Pro forma

2

NPATA

3

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

$74.9 million, up 39.0% from the pcp; statutory NPATA of $80.2 million.



 Pro forma

2

EBITA

3

of $149.0 million, an increase of 29.3% from the pcp, with EBITA margin of 2.6%,

up 50 basis points from 2.1% in the pcp; statutory EBITA of $139.2 million.



 Operating cash conversion of 73.4% of underlying EBITDA, which was 87.7% when normalised for

the impact of individually significant items and the GST payment for the Australian Transport Projects

divestment.



 Strengthened the balance sheet, paying down debt, with net debt to EBITDA reduced to 1.8x and

gearing down to 22.6%.


 Interim ordinary dividend of 6.0 cents per share (unfranked) at a 58% payout ratio.


The Chief Executive Officer of Downer, Peter Tompkins, said that the first half results demonstrate the

progress Downer is making in the business turnaround.


“We said that FY24 would be an important transition year for Downer as we address areas of

underperformance, stabilise, and reposition the business for future profitable growth,” Mr Tompkins said.


“Delivering double digit underlying EBITA and NPATA growth alongside solid underlying cash conversion

during the half highlights the momentum we are building as we address underperformance and execute

on our transformation agenda.


“A key contributor to earnings growth during the period was the return to profitability of the Utilities

business. While there is more work to be done in completing underperforming projects, I have growing

confidence in the ongoing recovery in the second half and that we are turning the corner in this part of







the business.”


Mr Tompkins said there had been important progress during the period relating to the Group’s operating

model, performance culture and risk management focus, especially in the areas of tenders and project

governance.


“Downer’s transformation journey is delivering positive results,” he said. “The Group’s new operating

model has improved accountability and through a rapid reset is delivering cost out. We are now also

embarking on the next wave of simplification to our operating model which includes optimising our

technology and setting our next phase of efficiency targets.


“In alignment with our commitment to streamline operations, we completed several divestments during

the half, making tangible progress in simplification of the business. We are committed to continuing to

simplify the business going forward as part of our corporate strategy development.”


Dividend

The Downer Board has declared an interim ordinary dividend of 6.0 cents per share, unfranked, payable on

11 April 2024 to shareholders on the register at 14 March 2024. The unfranked dividend will not have any

portion paid out of Conduit Foreign Income (CFI). The Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

remains suspended and will not operate for this dividend.

Safety

Downer reported a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0.96 per million hours worked at 31

December 2023, compared to 0.90 at 30 June 2023, and a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate

(TRIFR) of 2.77 per million hours worked, up from 2.68 per million hours worked.

Sadly, in the half year two fatal incidents occurred. A staff member was fatally injured during asphalting

operations while working in regional New South Wales, and a subcontractor died while operating a dozer

undertaking land-clearing activities in the South Burnett region of Queensland.

Downer extends its condolences to these workers’ families, colleagues, and employers.

Outlook

Downer reiterates that FY24 is an important year in the company’s turnaround program, and notes the

following:

 Labour market challenges remain, however they have stabilised.

 The new operating model is demonstrating results in terms of accountability and efficiency.

 Downer is focused on delivering tendered margins across the portfolio and the targeted cost out

programs.

Downer anticipates continued EBITA margin percentage improvement in H2 through a combination of cost

out and improving operational performance towards its management target of >4.5% in FY25.

Footnotes
1.Pro forma numbers are underlying and have been adjusted for the contribution from divested Business Units. The pro forma 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. Refer to slide28 and 29 for reconciliations.

2.Downer calculates EBITA and NPATA to add back acquired intangible assets amortisation expense. Group HY24: $11.6m, $8.1m after-tax (HY23: $13.1m, $9.2m after-tax).

3.Normalised cash conversion has been adjusted to remove the cash outflows associated with FY23 and 1H24 Individually Significant Items (not in underlying EBITDA) totalling

$20.7m and Australian Transport Projects GST payment of $23.5m. Normalised cash conversion is calculated using underlying EBITDA. Refer to slide 27.

4.Net debt to EBITDA ratio includes lease liabilities in net debt and is on a post-AASB 16 basis.

5.Remaining balance, Construction work-in-hand, comprises the NZ Projects (Transport), a portion of Power & Gas (Utilities) and the construction component of QTMP (Transport).

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

7.The underlying 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. Refer slide 28 for reconciliation to statutory results.

8.Based on the weighted average life of debt facilities (by A$mlimit).

9.Excludes lease liabilities.

10.WIH Government includes direct Government and Government-related projects.

11.H&E is the abbreviation of Health & Education.

12.Tax of $27.0m is calculated by adjusting underlying tax of $23.5m with $3.5m tax on amortisation of acquired intangible assets.

13.Jun-23 WIH has been restated to be comparable with Dec-23 reported WIH, and to remove impact of divestments.

14.Comparative periods have been restated to reflect the change in operating segments to be consistent with the FY23 Annual Report.

15.Comparative HY23 period ‘Net divestment contribution’ adjustments to reconcile between pro forma and underlying – EBITA $18.4m, Tax Expense ($4.3m), NPATA $14.1m.

16.Based on 2H23 Corporate of $57.9m (calculated as $68.4m less the $10.5m settlement of claim previously disclosed).
