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!

• Filter: 5Cs

• Approval gates: Pursue, Prepare,

Submit, Execute

• Risk guardrails and prioritisation

• Tender process: Role of Chief

Risk Officer (Tenders & Contracts

Committee (TCC)) and Board

subcommittee

• Optimisation of profile between

submit / preferred / execute

• Target Book to Burn >1 and WIH,

not unconstrained topline

• Prioritise renewals, target >90%

retained

• Selectively bid new work aligned

to 5Cs, target ~1 in 3, bid less win

more

• TCC meets twice weekly

• Ability to optimise profile

between submission / preferred

status / execution of contract

• Monthly and Quarterly deep dive

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
