DOWNER AWARDED NEW $3.05 BILLION AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE CONTRACT

Downer EDI Limited (Downer) today announced it had been awarded a new contract to deliver base and
estate services to the Australian Department of Defence (Defence), valued at approximately $3.05 billion
over an initial term of six years.

The Property and Asset Services (PAS) contract, part of Defence’s Base Services Transformation program,
commences in February 2026. The initial term runs until 2032, with two extension options of between one to
three years each. A maximum term contract could see Downer delivering PAS for a total of 10 years.

PAS is the next generation of Defence’s base and estate services contract. Under the new contract, Downer
will provide base and estate facilities maintenance operations, aerodrome operations, land management,
training area and range management, and integration services across the combined New South Wales and
Australian Capital Territory region, and Queensland region. This represents an increase in Downer’s
geographical footprint from the current Estate Maintenance and Operation Services (EMOS) contract to
cover two of Defence’s largest regions.

“Downer is a long-standing Defence partner, and has been providing sustainment, infrastructure, and estate
services for more than 80 years,” the Chief Executive Officer of Downer Group, Peter Tompkins, said.

“We are proud of the role we play as the custodian of Defence estates, supporting the working environments
that enable an agile and capable Defence force.

“We look forward to working closely with Defence to deliver these vital services, leveraging our significant
supply chain of 900-plus small and medium enterprises to drive efficiencies and improve environmental
outcomes across the 30-plus major Defence bases that Downer will be responsible for.”
