1H25 performance was in line with expectations.
We are continuing to focus on building a high-quality order
book with adherence to enhanced risk guardrails and
operating disciplines.
We are targeting ongoing improvement in EBITA margin
performance across each of our segments.
Market conditions are expected to remain varied, particularly
lower Australian transport agency spend and softer economic
conditions in New Zealand.
For FY25we are targeting underlying NPATA of between
$265m to $280m assuming no material change in
economic conditions or market demand, and no material
weather disruptions*.

Notes
1.Pro forma reflects the statutory results adjusted for individually significant items (ISI) and excludes the revenue and EBITAcontribution relating to completed divestments to provide a like for like comparison between
reporting periods. 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 slides 24 and
25 for reconciliations.
2.Downer calculates and forecasts EBITA and NPATA by adjusting EBIT and NPAT to add back acquired intangible assets amortisation expense.
3.Cumulative annualised gross cost out since transformation program initiated in Feb-23.
4.Total revenue includes revenue and other income. Total revenue for underlying and pro forma is a non-statutory disclosure and also includes notional revenue from joint ventures and other alliances not proportionately
consolidated.
5.Net debt to EBITDA ratio is net debt $946.9m, comprising lease liabilities, borrowings, deferred finance charges, cross currencyand interest rate swaps, less cash, divided by underlying EBITDA (underlying EBIT and
statutory D&A).
6.Normalised underlying cash conversion has been adjusted to remove the cash outflows associated with FY24 and 1H25 ISI (not inunderlying EBITDA) totalling $43.8m (1H24 equivalent of $20.7m and $23.5m Australian
Transport Projects GST payment). Cash conversion is calculated as operating cash flow excluding tax and interest, divided by underlying EBITDA. Refer to slide 27.
7.Jun-24 work-in-hand has been restated to be comparable with Dec-24 segment classification, and to remove impact of divestments.
8.Non-services work in hand includes construction work-in-hand -NZ Projects (Transport), a portion of Water and Power & Gas (Energy & Utilities) and the construction component of QTMP (Transport).
9.The underlying result is a non-IFRS measure that is used by management to assess the performance of the business and includes the contribution of divested businesses. Non-IFRS measures have not been subject to
audit or review. Refer to slide 24 for reconciliation to statutory results.
10.Based on the weighted average life of debt facilities (by A$m limit).
11.Excludes lease liabilities, deferred finance charges, cross currency and interest rate swaps.
12.The management targets, ≥4.2% minimum threshold EBITA margin in FY25 and >4.5% average EBITA margin across FY25 and FY26, areincorporated into Downer’s long-term incentive plan and are not provided as
guidance.
13.Tax expense of $36.7m is calculated by adjusting underlying tax of $33.6m and $3.1m tax on amortisation of acquired intangible assets.
14.The comparative 1H24 period has been amended to remove the contribution of businesses divested in 1H25 per slides 28.
15.Amortisation expensed within ISI of $12.7m comprises $6.5 million of accelerated amortisation of acquired intangible assets and $6.2m of IT amortisation. Underlying EBITDA is calculated as underlying EBIT and statutory
depreciation and amortisation.
All amounts are presented in Australiandollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
In some instances, totals may not add due to rounding.
