Acknowledgment
of Country
Downer acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Australians and
the traditional and continuing custodians across Australia. We acknowledge and pay respect to
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past, present, and future in maintaining their culture,
their country, and spiritual connection to the land.

2025 Investor Day
Downer Whakataukī
This design is gifted to Downer by
an alumni of its Te Ara Whanake
initiative, to celebrate Matariki and
Downer’s commitment to
inclusivity and acceptance.
Tuituia ngātahi mātou ki te mana o te whānau, te
manaaki, te kairangatira me te ngākau pono,
tuituia. Hei korowai tikanga tuku iho mō tatou. O rite
ki ngā rākau nui i tupu ai i te wao nui o Tāne ko te
kauri i whakawhiwhi haumaru, ko te rimu i
whakawhiwhi taonga, ko te totara i whakawhiwhi
whanaungatanga, ko te kahikatea i whakawhiwhi
whakaaro matakite. Ngā pou e whā i aumangea ai
i te whakataukī – mā te whanaungatanga ka
angitu. Hui ē! Tāiki ē!
Weaving us together as one are family and
relationships, care & respect, excellence and
integrity as our cloak of values. Like the great trees
growing in the forest of Tane is the Kauri which
connects us to Safety, the Rimu which connects us
to Delivery, the Totara which connects us to
Relationships and the Kahikatea which connects us
to Thought Leadership. These are our four pillars
upon which we build “Relationships creating
success”. United and ready to move forward!

FY26 outlook remains unchanged
At our FY25 results presentation in August, we provided an
outlook for the FY26 financial year where we said we were
targeting both underlying earnings and EBITA margin
improvement, with underlying revenue forecast for the full year
to be flat to slightly lower than FY25 pro forma revenue.
In the first four-and-a-half months of this new financial year,
trading has been in line with our expectations, and our outlook
for the FY26 financial year remains unchanged.
This target is reflected in the
LTI scorecard gates and is not
provided as guidance
