•This presentation contains forward looking statements concerning the financial
condition, results and operations of Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (hereafter referred
to as “CHI”).
•Forward looking statements are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with
the fuels supply environment, including price and foreign currency fluctuations,
regulatory changes, environmental factors, production results, demand for CHI’s
products or services and other conditions. Forward looking statements are based on
management’s current expectations and assumptions and involve known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in these statements.
•Forward looking statements include among other things, statements concerning the
potential exposure of CHI to market risk and statements expressing management’s
expectations, beliefs, estimates, forecasts, projections and assumptions. Forward
looking statements are identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “anticipate”,
“believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “goals”, “intend”, “may”, “objectives”, “outlook”,
“plan”, “probably”, “project”, “risks”, “seek”, “should”, “target”, “will” and similar terms and
phrases.
•Readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward
looking statements should be read in conjunction with CHI’s financial statements
released with this presentation. This presentation is for information purposes only and
does not constitute legal, financial, tax, financial product advice or investment advice or a
recommendation to acquire CHI’s securities and has been prepared without taking into
account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individuals. Before making an
investment decision, you should consider the appropriateness of the information having
regard to your own objectives, financial situation and needs and consult an NZX Firm or
solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser if necessary.
•In light of these risks, results could differ materially from those stated, implied or inferred
from the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement. CHI does not
guarantee future performance and past performance information is for illustrative
purposes only. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the directors of CHI, CHI and
any of its related bodies corporate and affiliates, and their officers, partners, employees,
agents, associates and advisers do not make any representation or warranty, express or
implied, as to accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information in this
presentation, or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward-looking statement or any event or
results expressed or implied in any forward-looking statement, and disclaim all
responsibility and liability for these forward-looking statements (including, without
limitation, liability for negligence).
•Except as required by law or regulation (including the NZX Listing Rules), CHI undertakes
no obligation to provide any additional or updated information
whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.
•Forward looking figures in this presentation are unaudited and may include non-GAAP
financial measures and information. Not all of the financial information (including any
non-GAAP information) will have been prepared in accordance with, nor is it intended to
comply with: (i) the financial or other reporting requirements of any regulatory body; or
(ii) the accounting principles generally accepted in New Zealand or any other jurisdiction
with IFRS. Some figures may be rounded, and so actual calculation of the figures may
differ from the figures in this presentation. Non-GAAP financial information does not
have a standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable
to similar financial information presented by other entities. Non-GAAP financial
information in this presentation is not audited or reviewed.

the end user are not a Channel Scope 3 emission. End user Emissions are emissions (upstream and downstream) that result from the end use consumption (combustion) of transport fuels that Channel distributes via
its owned and operated infrastructure but does not take ownership of and therefore does not sell to the end user.

Sustainability Report 2023
•Completed a materiality assessment with insights integrated into
refreshed strategy
•Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Framework developed
to assess and measure our performance and aligning activities to
the strategy
-set 2024 targets against each material issue and will report
on our performance.
-a selection of these targets have been incorporated into the
scorecard which will be used to determine short-term
incentive payments
•First year reporting in accordance with Aotearoa New Zealand
Climate Standards. Assessments found:
-Physical risk: Marsden Point site is generally safe from
coastal erosion and inundation risks, with a variety of longer-
term mitigation options available
-Transition risk: Opportunity to grow and diversify, while
contributing to New Zealand's wider decarbonisation efforts
under a range of scenarios
•While looking to deliver resilient infrastructure solutions to meet
New Zealand's changing fuel and energy needs, Channel will
continue to pursue opportunities at Marsden Point which help
support increased resilience for New Zealand's fuel supply chain.
