Revenue
Ventia reported a decrease in revenue of $45.3 million, or 1.5%, to $3,037.2 million in HY25. The decrease was driven by lower
Defence Base Services project works, exited contracts and revised scope of a Housing and Community contract in Defence and
Social Infrastructure; and timing of contracted work in Transport.
Section 3 provides further commentary on sector performance.
Other income
In January 2025, the Group entered into an agreement with a Joint Venture between ACCIONA and Ferrovial for the novation
of the operations and maintenance contract and all associated Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreements on the Toowoomba
Second Range Crossing (TSRC) contract. The novation resulted in a gain of $24.9 million.
EBITDA
Statutory EBITDA increased by $31.7 million, or 12.9%, to $277.5 million in HY25. The movement was driven primarily by
the TSRC novation. The Group statutory EBITDA margin increased to 9.1% (HY24: 8.0%).
Depreciation expense
Depreciation expense decreased by $8.9 million, or 15.5%, attributable to an assessment of the remaining useful life of certain
plant and machinery in HY24.
Amortisation expense
Amortisation expense decreased by $4.2 million, or 22.7%, as a portion of acquired customer contracts and relationships
became fully amortised in FY24. The remaining customer contracts and relationships were fully amortised by 30 June 2025.
Interest income
Interest income increased by $2.3 million, or 56.1%, as a result of higher average cash balances during the period.
Income tax
Income tax expense was $57.5 million for HY25, representing an effective tax rate of 29.9% (HY24: 29.8%).

VENTIA HALF YEAR REPORT 2025 |
1.3 Statutory Group financial position
Net working capital
Net working capital comprises trade and other receivables, contract assets and inventories, less trade and other payables,
contract liabilities, employee benefit liabilities and provisions.
The net working capital balance increased by $52.0 million in HY25. Key movements included an increase in trade and other
receivables and contract assets of $187.1 million, offset by an increase in trade and other payables and contract liabilities of
$152.7 million. These balances are seasonally higher in June compared to December due to higher volumes of work performed
in May and June each year. Provisions decreased by $14.2 million primarily due to the TSRC novation.
Net debt
Net debt comprises borrowings (excluding capitalised borrowing costs) and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net debt increased by $75.9 million to $576.9 million, mainly due to the decrease in cash held at the end of HY25 of $68.4 million.
The decrease in cash held at the period end was primarily driven by the on-market buyback in HY25 of $82.5 million, offset by an
increase in operating cashflow.
1.4 Statutory Group cash flow
Operating cash flow
Net cash generated from operating activities for HY25 was $183.4 million, representing an increase of $21.4 million from HY24.
This was driven primarily by an increase in underlying EBITDA and a reduction in income tax paid.
Investing cash flow
Total cash outflow from investing activities was $41.1 million for HY25, representing a $12.6 million increase compared with HY24.
Cash outflow for both years comprised payments for acquisition of property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets. The
increase was mainly driven by spending on digital capability uplift and investment in plant and machinery for the rig and well
services business.
Financing cash flow
Total financing cash outflow of $212.1 million increased by $103.7 million compared to HY24, as a result of the on-market buyback
of $82.5 million, purchase of treasury shares of $9.5 million and an increase in dividends paid of $10.4 million.
2. Underlying Group financial performance
The underlying financial performance has been derived from the statutory financial information by excluding the impact of
the TSRC novation (see Section 2.2).

Defence and Social Infrastructure reported revenue of $1,249.4 million, which represents a decrease of $79.2 million or 6.0%
on HY24. The decrease was driven by lower Defence Base Services project work, exited contracts and revised scope of a Housing
and Community contract.
During HY25, the Defence Base Services contract was extended. The outcome of the Defence Base Services Transformation
tender is anticipated later this year.
HY25 EBITDA was $101.1 million, an increase of $12.1 million or 13.6% on HY24, driven by strategic focus on higher margin work
and delivery of efficiency programs.

Infrastructure Services reported revenue of $690.6 million, which represents an increase of $60.4 million or 9.6% on HY24.
This was a result of the full year impact of 2024 contract wins in Energy and Water.
New work won in HY25 included a three-year delivery services panel contract with Transgrid to deliver projects across its
transmission network and a contract with Elecnor and Harmony Energy for the Tauhei solar farm project in New Zealand.
Contract renewals included a one-year Plant Maintenance Extension for BlueScope and a two-year extension of the Water Services
Alliance agreement with Far North District Council in New Zealand.
HY25 EBITDA was $60.6 million, an increase of $10.7 million or 21.4% on HY24, driven by the shift in portfolio mix toward Energy
and Water and productivity improvements.

Telecommunications reported revenue of $772.7 million, which represents a decrease of $9.6 million or 1.2% on HY24.
This decrease was due to the mobilisation of new contract wins with Telstra and NBN.
New work won in HY25 included NBN Field Module of $2.1 billion, NBN Fibre to the Node upgrade of $800 million and Tuatahi
First Fibre of $100 million, in addition to the $570 million Telstra Strategic Field Maintenance, Design and Construction Contract
announced in December 2024.
HY25 EBITDA was $97.0 million, a decrease of $3.3 million or 3.3% on HY24, primarily driven by the expensing of mobilisation costs
during the period.

Transport reported revenue of $324.5 million, which represents a decrease of $16.9 million or 5.0% on HY24. This was a result
of completion of works in the second half of 2024 and timing of contracted work.
Transport has been successful in securing new contracts in HY25. These include a three-year maintenance and renewals contract
with Whangarei District Council in NZ with two further three-year options for a potential total nine-year term. Transport also
secured pavement rehabilitation works with the Pilbara Ports Authority and works with BP for the first phase of the Australian
Renewable Energy Hub. Contract extensions in HY25 included a one-year extension with Queensland South Coast Road Asset
Management and a two-year maintenance contract extension for Thames Coromandel District Council.
HY25 EBITDA was $24.6 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 2.0% on HY24. The EBITDA margin increased from 7.4% to 7.6% due
to continued focus on project efficiency and productivity improvements.
4. Liquidity and capital management
As at 30 June 2025, the Group had liquidity of $724.4 million, comprising cash balances of $324.4 million and undrawn committed
debt facilities of $400.0 million.
Syndicated banking facilities
Ventia has in place $900.0 million of revolving cash facilities, comprising two $250.0 million tranches, which are fully drawn as at
30 June 2025, and a five-year $400.0 million tranche, which is undrawn as at 30 June 2025. The two $250.0 million tranches will
mature in 2027 and 2028 respectively and the $400 million tranche will mature in 2029.
Ventia also has in place a $250.0 million Asian Term Loan (ATL) facility, which is fully drawn at 30 June 2025. The ATL will mature
in 2031.
Covenants on financing facilities
The Group’s financing facilities contain undertakings to comply with financial covenants. The main financial covenants that
the Group is subject to are leverage ratio (≤ 3.25) and interest cover (≥ 4.0). The Group complied with all its financial covenants
throughout HY25.
Bank guarantees and insurance bonds
The Group has $760.0 million (31 December 2024: $760.0 million) of bank guarantee and insurance bond facilities on a committed
and uncommitted basis to support its contracting activities. The Group utilised $442.2 million of these facilities at 30 June 2025
(31 December 2024: $460.5 million).
Credit ratings
At 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Group has investment grade credit ratings of Baa2 (Outlook Stable) from Moody’s and
BBB (Outlook Stable) from S&P.
5. Dividends
Ventia’s dividend policy is to pay out between 60% and 80% of the Group’s Underlying NPATA as a dividend. Underlying NPATA
provides a proxy for Ventia’s cash flows available to pay dividends. It is a key measure of Ventia’s financial performance.
Since the end of the half year, the Ventia Board resolved to pay an interim dividend of 10.71 cents per share, 90% franked,
representing a payout ratio of 75% of Underlying NPATA.
Ventia intends to frank future dividends to the maximum extent possible, subject to the availability of franking credits.

VENTIA HALF YEAR REPORT 2025 |
6. Sustainability
At Ventia, we are passionate about making infrastructure work for our communities and we strive to do that in a sustainable
way. Our sustainability strategy is to create a healthier planet, be people and community focused, and be accountable for
all that we do.
In support of our ambition to achieving net zero emissions and helping our clients reduce their emissions, we have set
targets for the near term (2030) and to reach net zero by 2050 across all emissions scopes. Our targets were validated by the
Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in June 2024 and align with the Paris Agreement in support of a 1.5°C future.
For further information on Ventia’s sustainability strategy and sustainability reporting suites, please visit Ventia’s website
https://www.ventia.com/our-approach/sustainability.
7. Outlook
Ventia enters the second half of FY25 with confidence, underpinned by a resilient and diversified portfolio, strong financial
performance, and a clear strategy to redefine service excellence.
We continue to leverage our expert capabilities across our four sectors—Defence & Social Infrastructure, Infrastructure
Services, Telecommunications, and Transport—delivering consistent outcomes for our clients and communities.
Our disciplined approach to capital allocation and operational execution ensures we remain well-positioned to convert
quality opportunities into sustainable growth.
Ventia’s customer renewal rate remains high at > 90%, reflecting the trust placed in our delivery model.
Work in Hand increased to $20.6 billion as at 30 June 2025, supported by strategic contract wins including the NBN Field
Module, Fibre to the Node upgrade, and Defence Base Services extension. These wins demonstrate the strength of our
long-term partnerships and our ability to respond to evolving market needs.
We continue to see strong tailwinds across our core business and adjacencies, including:
• Increased government investment in infrastructure and defence
• Accelerating energy transition and digitisation
• Population growth driving demand for essential services
We remain focused on delivering sustainable financial returns, maintaining strong cash conversion (>90%), and continuing
to return capital to shareholders through dividends and our on-market buyback program.
For FY25, we upgrade our guidance for underlying NPATA growth to 10-12%, excluding the one-off positive impact of the
TSRC novation.

2. Group performance
2.1 Revenue and other income
The Group enters into client contracts with relatively long-term durations under various contract profiles, including Schedule of
Rates, Cost Reimbursable and Fixed Price. These contract profiles are defined as:
Contract ProfileContract Profile Description
Schedule of Rates Contracts that predominantly have a combination of:
1) unit pricing; and
2) variable volume of works typically based on work activities or number of client assets maintained.
Overheads are often paid as a fixed monthly component of the fee.
Contracts for the delivery of recurring services where the fees chargeable to the client are subject to an
annual price escalation and/or where the fees chargeable are subject to a volume adjustment mechanism
are classified as Schedule of Rates.
Cost ReimbursableContracts that are predominantly structured to pass the actual costs through to the client plus a margin.
Fixed PriceContracts that predominantly have a fixed price (subject to variations) for an agreed outcome, meaning
that the Group is paid for a proportion of works as they are performed, where the overall price is fixed and
is not affected by the cost of delivery.
Progress payments by the client are made either monthly or as a lump sum once a completion milestone
has been reached.

4.5 Fair value measurement of financial instruments
Some of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value at each reporting date.
The following table provides information about how the fair values of these financial assets and financial liabilities are determined.
They are grouped into levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable.
Level 1Fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
Level 2Fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that
are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Contingent consideration––3.13.1Level 3
To t a l–0.58.74.6
There were no transfers between level 1, level 2, or level 3 during the period.
Estimation of fair values
The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using a discounted cash flow model where future cash flows are estimated
based on market forward rates at the reporting date and the contract rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of the
various respective counterparties.
Contingent consideration
The fair value of contingent consideration is measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows which are based
on a number of conditions as set out in the relevant acquisition documentation.
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, financial assets, bank and other loans, and non-interest bearing monetary
financial liabilities of the Group approximate their fair value.

6.1.2 Legal and other matters
Legal, commercial and regulatory matters may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Directors consider that appropriate
provisions have been raised to reflect expected costs for the resolution and finalisation of open matters and therefore no
contingent liabilities for potential settlements, fines or judgements have been noted, other than the matters below.
6.1.3 Gateway Motorway project
Claims have been made by Queensland Motorways Pty Limited (QM) in the Supreme Court of Queensland against various parties,
including the head design, construction and maintenance contractors of the Gateway Motorway project (D&C Contractor) in
relation to alleged defects in the motorway upgrade project.
Two companies in which the Group has an interest, Visionstream Australia Pty Limited (VA) (a wholly-owned subsidiary) and
Gateway Motorway Services Pty Limited (GMS) (a 50/50 joint venture company), independently provided services to the D&C
Contractor in connection with the project. The D&C Contractor has sought to pass down the nature and the value of certain claims
made against it by QM to VA, and separately GMS.
Both VA and GMS have respectively served their defence to each allegation, denying all liability. The effect of contractual liability
caps, any applicable insurance cover and other relevant matters, will need to be considered. The potential outcome of the
proceedings cannot be determined at this stage.

VENTIA HALF YEAR REPORT 2025 |
6.1.4 Australian Competition and Consumer Commission proceedings
In December 2024, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) started civil proceedings in the Federal Court
against Ventia Australia Pty Ltd (VAPL, a wholly-owned subsidiary) and two employees, alleging contraventions of the Australian
competition law provisions for services provided to the Department of Defence (Defence).
The ACCC alleges that in 2020 and 2022, VAPL made and gave effect to, or attempted to make arrangements or understandings
containing provisions which had the purpose, effect or likely effect of fixing, controlling or maintaining the prices at which services
would be supplied to Defence under specific programs of works.
On the basis of information currently known to the Group, the Group intends to defend the proceedings. The potential outcome of
the proceedings cannot be determined at this stage.
6.2 Events after the reporting period
Business combinations
On 1 July 2025, Ventia Holdings I Pty Limited (a controlled entity of Ventia Services Group Limited) acquired the entire share
capital of PowerNet Holding Company Pty Ltd (PowerNet). PowerNet is an electrical services business specialising in the

Infrastructure Services operating segment. The purchase consideration was $20.2 million and is subject to customary working
capital and net debt adjustments.

Dividends
Since the end of the half-year, the Directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend of 10.71 cents per share, 90% franked.
In accordance with AASB 110 Events after the Reporting Period, the proposed interim dividend is not recognised as a liability
as at 30 June 2025.
Unless disclosed elsewhere in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, no other material matter or circumstance
has arisen since 30 June 2025 that has significantly affected or may significantly affect:
• the Group’s operations in future financial years;
