Ventia Annual General Meeting

23 MAY 2024


Chairman’s Address


2023 has been another successful year for Ventia.


Ventia has incredible scale. On a daily basis we mobilise up to 35,000

people on over 400 worksites across Australia and New Zealand and

more than 40% of our people work in regional or rural areas.


We service over 100 clients and 75% of our revenue comes from

federal, state and local government clients.


By adhering to our purpose of making infrastructure work for our

communities, and our strategy of redefining service excellence, we have

achieved another year of strong financial performance.


We service our clients with a sharp focus on providing service

excellence and first-rate outcomes for our clients. In 2023 our client

renewal rate reached 87%, an improvement on the previous year.


We continue to broaden and strengthen our existing client relationships

and enhance our customer account plans. In 2023, our focus on service

excellence resulted in greater than 10% increase in spend from our 10

largest customers.


We believe that by listening to the voice of our customers, and delivering

a compelling value proposition, we can continue our strong renewal rate

through 2024 and beyond.


The spread of our workforce and resources provides diversity, stable

growth and through-the-cycle resilience, while our scale ensures we

have the capacity to meet demand from existing and new customers

across Australia and New Zealand.


Since inception, Ventia has demonstrated a steady and growing financial

track record. This has been achieved regardless of market conditions as

the graphs on this slide illustrate.


Our consistent top-line revenue growth, 25% since FY21, demonstrates

we are growing well above market, and that we continue to gain share.


3



EBITDA increased by 22% since FY21, and our margins have remained

consistent, illustrating the stability and predictability of our business.


Our NPATA has grown 38% since 2021, providing increasing earnings

per share and dividends for our investors through leveraging our

enterprise-wide systems, people and processes.


This consistent performance has been achieved through a range of

macroeconomic conditions. Notwithstanding the pandemic, higher

inflationary pressures and a volatile labour market, Ventia’s portfolio has

demonstrated resilience.


Ventia’s limited concentration to any one client, geography or end market.

This, combined with the breadth and depth of our client relationships,

long-term contracts, and the in-built contract escalation mechanisms,

ensures our portfolio is well protected against volatility and changing

market conditions.


Dean will talk in more detail about our financial performance shortly.


Ventia is in an enviable position to capitalise on strong and improving

market trends. Some of these trends include:


 Firstly, growth of the very large asset base including new and

aging infrastructure. New infrastructure is a new asset for us to

maintain, whereas old infrastructure requires an increasing amount

of maintenance;

 Secondly, population growth means more people are using the

infrastructure. Both increasing urbanisation and the movement to

regional areas where 40% of our workforce resides, are tailwinds;

 Thirdly, the increasing trend to partnering represents an annual

increase in available tendered work from the public and private

sectors;

 And exposure to megatrends such as the Energy transition

presents opportunities for all four of our sectors, particularly in

Infrastructure Services with the provision of both behind and in-

front-of-the-meter technologies and subsequently the maintenance

of this technology for our clients.


Over the next five years BIS Oxford estimates our addressable market will

grow at greater than 5.5% CAGR, rising from $80 billion in FY24 to just

under $100 billion in FY28.


4



Our Revenue for 2023 was $5.7 billion in a total addressable market of

$73 billion. This provides significant headroom for organic growth and with

that, sustainable returns to shareholders.


The company strategy is to Redefine Service Excellence. Your Board, and

management team are aligned in digitisation as a key enabler of that

strategy and potentially as a source of differentiation and future value for

Ventia.


Over the last few years, we have accelerated the transition to a cloud-first

model and commenced investing in our digital infrastructure, skills and

capabilities, while modernising and simplifying our systems. We believe

this digital focus will enhance our strategy and our differentiation.


We have also invested in cybersecurity. In July 2023 we experienced our

first significant cyber incident. The risk was quickly contained, and

additional measures were taken to further protect our clients, people and

investors.


Strong alignment and coordination between our Board and leadership

team led to a rapid and effective response, enhanced by strong

stakeholder management so that there was minimal impact on operations,

and importantly, no loss of data.


Since then, we have worked cohesively to integrate the detailed learnings

to further strengthen our resilience and better safeguard against future

threats.


Our digital core is the backbone of our company, and continues to

differentiate Ventia from our competitors, given its enterprise-wide reach

and enormous data capabilities.


Our digital journey is now one of Ventia’s highest priorities. Having the

right systems in place, and a digitally advanced culture makes us more

agile, resilient, competitive and adaptive to a fast-evolving digital world.


Over the next 5 years we are committed to creating a connected, secure

enterprise with a key focus on:


 Modernisation: to create a standardised and simplified digital

experience for clients and our people that is cloud-first, mobile,

automated and scalable;


5


 Rationalisation of our application portfolio: to reduce the number of

applications and systems we have running;

 Innovation: leveraging new and emerging technologies such as AI

and Data and Analytics and connecting assets in the field to digital

twins to transform the way we deliver services;

 Resilience: building a cyber capability that protects us and our

clients’ interests against increasingly advanced, automated cyber-

attacks;

 Culture: investing in the digital skills of our entire workforce and

shifting to leaner and hyper-automated processes to simplify our

ways of working and makes Ventia a more fulfilling place to work

for all our colleagues.


To help shape our digital future and informed by our Board Skills Matrix, I

am pleased that Damon Rees joined our Board in July last year. Damon

comes to us with a long history of senior executive digital roles across the

highest levels of government and the private sector. He provides an

important set of skills for Ventia as we continue to invest in our digital

capabilities.


Looking at our progress on sustainability, in 2023 we submitted our

proposed targets to the Science-based Target initiative (SBTi).


We now have our short and long-term goals in place to achieve net zero

emissions by 2050 across scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.


Concurrently, we are working towards achieving these targets in

harmony with our broader Environment, Social and Governance

objectives.


In 2023, we achieved a 5.5% reduction in our Scope 1 and Scope 2

emissions, this reduction was largely driven by a divestment and

increased use of renewable electricity across our sites.


As we work towards our goals of powering our electricity needs from

renewables, we increased solar generation in our workplaces and sourced

more GreenPower in our offices and depots. We continue to make

progress towards our objective of 100% renewable electricity by 2030.


We also introduced 154 hybrid and electric vehicles to our fleet in FY23,

resulting in 10% of our light vehicle fleet now being either hybrid or

electric.


6


Gender diversity is a priority for the Board. As a signatory to the HESTA

40:40 vision, Ventia has made a formal commitment to achieve gender

balance in our Executive Leadership Team.


We hit this target in February, reaching 40% female participation in our

Executive Leadership Team and 43% female participation on our Board.


While we have had gender pay equity across our business for some time,

there is more we need to address to create true gender equity as

highlighted by WGEA.


Our 2023 Sustainability Report provides an outline of our SBTi and ESG

targets and more detailed commentary on the initiatives we are

undertaking to reach these targets.


In summary, 2023 was another strong year for Ventia. Our results reflect

the focus, risk discipline, reliability and stability of our business.


Our balance sheet is in a strong position to support both near and longer-

term growth opportunities. When combined with positive market trends

and a strong track record of successful execution, Ventia has a

meaningful platform from which to grow.


The robust financial and operational performance of our business in 2023

facilitated a 12.5% dividend increase on 2022, resulting in a total dividend

of 17.72 cents per share or a 75% payout ratio of NPATA, consistent with

previous years.


Dividends are important to many of our investors, and we continue to

commit to a sustainable and growing dividend profile.


On behalf of the Board, I want to thank our customers and the

communities we serve, our shareholders and the whole Ventia team.


Now over to our Group CEO and Managing Director, Dean Banks.


Thank you.

CEO Address


Thank you, David.


Good morning and welcome to everybody attending our AGM today. My

name is Dean Banks. I’m proud and privileged to be the Group CEO of

Ventia.


FY23 was an outstanding year for Ventia. In FY23 our revenue grew by

9.8% to $5.7 billion. EBITDA was up 10.8% to $465m and our margin

increased to 8.2%.


NPATA of $202 million increased by 12.5%, exceeding the top end of our

guidance range.


Each sector positively contributed to delivering increased revenue and

EBITDA year-on-year, and as a Group, our earnings outpaced market

growth.


Cash flow will always be a key focus for Ventia. It’s the life blood of our

business. Pleasingly, our cash conversion continues to be high at 88.8%.


Our Work in Hand remained stable at $18.1 billion and our client renewal

rate continued to be strong at 87%.


Key wins and renewals in 2023 included contracts with the Department of

Defence, Auckland Council, NBN Co, Telstra and Transurban.


Our strategic client relationships also supported us in increasing our

cross-sell revenue by 48% year-on-year to $93 million.


These financial results reflect the continuous demand for the essential

services we perform.


Now let’s look briefly at each of our sector’s performance.


Defence and Social infrastructure (D&SI) is our largest sector accounting

for 41.6% of group revenue in 2023.


Revenue growth in D&SI increased by 2.4% to $2.4 billion. While this

growth was slightly subdued, it’s important to consider the 25% total

revenue growth across this sector over the past two years. 


8


In FY23, there were some key renewals and extensions for D&SI

including the Defence Maintenance Contract (which I will discuss in

more detail shortly) and a 12-month extension of our Base Services

Contract with the Department of Defence.


Infrastructure services accounted for 23% of our group revenue in 2023

and achieved year-on-year revenue growth of 7.8% to $1.3 billion. This

growth was mainly driven by strong performance in our Energy, Water and

Renewables business and Rig and Well services.


Telecommunications contributed 24.2% of total group revenue in 2023

and increased by 21.3% year-on-year to $1.4 billion. This result was

driven primarily by higher contract volumes with existing customers such

as Telstra and NBN Co alongside the contribution from new contracts

such as the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) project in

Western Australia.


Connectivity is more important than ever and demand for data and digital

infrastructure is driving network investment.


Our transport business contributed to 11.2% of our group revenue and

increased year-on-year by 22.7% to $637 million through a combination

of new contract wins and contract growth.


We have a diversified business operating in a market with a number of

positive demand drivers.


Turning to our strategy. 


Throughout 2023, we further embedded our strategy to Redefine Service

Excellence by being client focused, innovative and sustainable. Our

strategy has continued to build momentum across our business and

provides a solid roadmap for our future success.


I am pleased that our strategy is translating into great results, not only in

our financial performance, but also through industry recognition.


In 2023, we received the Dr Dean Jarrett Award from Supply Nation for

Outstanding Impact, recognising our work on social procurement.


Also in 2023, our Ventia Operations Centre (VOC) was recognised as

Customer Service Team of the Year by the Customer Service Institute of

Australia. Our VOC sits at the heart of our operations and provides 24/7


9


support to more than 50 Ventia contracts. To demonstrate the scale of

our operations, the VOC managed 1.2 million calls in 2023.


These examples are a few of the many accolades that Ventia received,

which recognise our leadership, collective success and impact of our

business on the communities we serve.


Now, I want to drill down into each of our strategy pillars.


A good example of our client focused strategy at work is securing a

renewed and expanded Defence Maintenance Contract with the

Department of Defence, valued at approximately $393 million for the next

five years.


This contract involves the provision of essential maintenance and support

services to the Army, Navy and Air Force on 17 bases across Australia.


Ventia is responsible for repairing and maintaining some of Australia’s

newest and most advanced equipment.


Last year, Ventia’s employees took part in the Talisman Sabre military

exercise conducted in Darwin to work side by side with Australian military

personnel to provide maintenance support services.


This exercise included participation of 30,000 military personnel from 13

nations. This demonstrates our strategic partnership with Defence and the

importance of our work as a trusted advisor.


This contract was competitively tendered, and its award is testament to

our long-term strategic partnership with Defence.


Now onto innovation.


Innovation at Ventia is an important component of our strategy. An

innovative culture encourages our workforce to continuously explore

better ways of working.


At a recent in-house Pizza and Pitch Innovation event, a member of

Ventia’s incident response team pitched the idea to install a battery-

operated air-conditioning unit on a Ventia truck that keeps the air

conditioning running without the need to have the engine running.


10


Ventia’s incident response teams are often required to wait for long

periods at emergency service events or other events and need to keep

the air conditioning idling to remain alert. This results in high fuel

consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and associated wear and tear of

our trucks.


Through collaboration with external partners, a functional solution was

developed and then installed via a pilot program.

The pilot has proven to be technically and operationally successful,

achieving a cost saving of up to $12,800 and emissions savings of 15

tonnes per annum from this single vehicle.

We will start scaling this across similar vehicles in our NSW fleet (of

which we have about 200) mid this year. Accounting for vehicle

differences and usage, our estimates indicate that this innovation could

deliver more than $250,000 in savings annually, in addition to the

significant reduction in diesel and associated emissions.


This is a great example of the types of efficiencies we can achieve via

employee engagement and implementation of new innovation ideas

across our business.


Moving now to our last strategy pillar.

I am proud to report that in February Ventia was first to market with an

industry-leading social value measure. In Australia, we are now starting to

measure the value of the non-financial impacts we have on society via a

leading Themes Outcomes and Measures methodology, or TOMs.

Inspired by the preeminent model in the UK which has significantly

improved the way social value is measured, TOMs will help Ventia

demonstrate the value of our initiatives. It will provide a benchmark under

which clients can compare and evaluate chosen partners' performance.

Quantifying social value demonstrates the socio-economic impact across

four key areas:

 Community – demonstrates social impact on individuals and

communities such as health, or education;

 Work – the social value generated for our employees;

 Economy – the overall economic benefit of a project such as

job creation or enhanced local business profitability;


11


 Environment – such as our environmental impact and

resource efficiency.


Ventia is leading a Taskforce alongside the Social Value Portal to develop

a new common and comparable standard and framework for Australia and

New Zealand. To date, 35 organisations from across the private and

public sectors have joined the task force including some of our customers

and suppliers.


We are proud to be at the forefront of this social sustainability initiative

and we hope it will help shape the industry and deliver a positive impact

to society. 


People are at the heart of our success and it’s important that we create a

cohesive culture which is flexible, diverse and inclusive.


We have over 15,000 employees and over 20,000 sub-contractors. David

spoke about safety, and I want to reiterate that safety is our licence to

operate.


As David discussed, the sad passing of our employee, Daniel, earlier this

year was a huge loss for Ventia. Daniel was a dedicated employee of

Ventia for over 10 years and was a devoted father of two young children.

He was a valued member of the Ventia family. I personally visited the

family in NZ, and we continue to extend our support and deepest

sympathies to Daniel’s family, friends, and colleagues.


Any workplace fatality has a profound effect on us all and I just want to

pause a moment to honor Daniel.


This event serves as a reminder of the challenges of the work we do. It

reminds us that no matter how strong our commitment is to safety, there

is always more work to do. We are committed to learning lessons from

this incident and striving to improve our safety culture.


In addition to safety, we are also building a strong culture of diversity and

inclusion at Ventia. I am pleased to report that in 2023 we received the

Diversity and Inclusion Award for Ventia’s Disability Employment Program

from the Banksia Foundation. We also received re-accreditation of New

Zealand’s Rainbow Tick which recognises Ventia as a workplace that

understands and embraces gender diversity.


12


We continue to take deliberate action to recruit women across our

workforce. Within our wider senior leadership team, we saw an impressive

six percentage point increase in women in Senior Management last year

progressing from 20.3% to 26.6%. A step in the right direction towards our

target of 40%.


We take deliberate action to address gender diversity at Ventia, including

the development of our new Women’s Participation Action Plan. This plan

is focused on developing opportunities for women to advance their career

and move into managerial or other senior roles.


One tool we use to measure engagement and employee feedback, is our

Have Your Say survey. In 2023, our engagement score remained

consistently high at 78%. Another encouraging metric from the survey was

that 86% of our employees feel well-connected to their teams and can

openly communicate with their leaders.


In October 2023, Ventia also proudly reaffirmed our commitment to

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia by launching our

Stretch 2023-2026 Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP).


Our RAP sets our targets and actions for the next three years through to

August 2026, such as strengthening education and employment

outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. At the end of

2023 we employed 3.7% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders in our

business.


The future of our business is exciting. We have a positive outlook for FY24

driven by our:

 High quality and diversified portfolio;

 Solid pipeline of opportunities;

 Strong demand drivers; and

 Long-term strategic partnerships.


Given this, I am pleased to be able to reaffirm our FY24 guidance range

of 7 to 10 per cent NPATA growth compared to FY23.

In conclusion, we continue to differentiate ourselves as we build on the

success of our strategy to Redefine Service Excellence, supporting high

levels of customer service and sustainable value to shareholders.

I would like to thank all our people at Ventia and the Board for their

stewardship, support and guidance.
