Channel Infrastructure lists on ASX

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited, New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal business, today

listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker ASX:CHI.

Channel’s primary listing remains on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, with the foreign exempt

ASX listing providing access to a broader pool of institutional and retail shareholders to support

Channel’s continued growth.

Channel is New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal business, storing and distributing 40% of

New Zealand’s transport fuel, including 80% of New Zealand’s jet fuel. Channel receives, stores,

tests and distributes petrol, diesel, and jet fuel that its customers (bp, Mobil, and Ampol-owned Z

Energy) import and supply to Auckland and Northland. The Company’s growth plans include

redevelopment of its strategic Marsden Point site, consolidation along the current fuel supply

chain to Auckland International Airport and measured M&A step-outs in Australia and New

Zealand.

Channel Infrastructure Chair, James Miller said "Today’s ASX listing marks another major

milestone for our Company, reflecting the significant opportunities for growth that are ahead of

us. Over the past three and a half years, Channel Infrastructure has proven its ability to deliver

on its strategy and execute value-accretive growth. Alongside significant investment in the

resilience of our import terminal and the execution of significant growth projects, we have

delivered a total shareholder return of 194%

1

since we converted to a dedicated fuels import

terminal on 1 April 2022.”

Chief Executive Rob Buchanan added “Channel already plays a critical role in New Zealand’s fuel

supply chain, with ownership of strategic infrastructure assets, our strong safety track record and

long-term customer contracts that provide stable inflation linked earnings and cashflows. As we

look forward to continuing to deliver on our ambitious growth plans, today’s ASX listing is an

important milestone for us, and forms part of our long-term strategy to become a critical enabler

of fuel resilience across both New Zealand and Australia.

“Work is already well underway for additional storage, fuel and energy security projects within our

Marsden Point Energy Precinct including a new jet storage facility for Ampol-owned Z Energy,

and a bitumen import terminal for Fletcher Building-owned Higgins, both of which will be

commissioned during the latter half of 2026 and are expected to add a further ~NZ$8 million per

annum to Channel’s EBITDA during their first full year of operation.”

Based on 1 Apr 2022 share price of NZ$1.05, Volume Weighted Average share price of NZ$2.72 over the period from 13

November 2025 to 12 December 2025, and total dividends paid per share of $0.36 since conversion.




Channel’s 180-hectare freehold Marsden Point Energy Precinct is being considered by the New

Zealand Government as one of New Zealand’s first Special Economic Zones and incorporates

the in-service fuel import terminal as well as a prospective biorefinery project led by Seadra

Energy and their consortium partners Qantas, Renova Inc, Kent Plc and ANZ Bank for which

Channel would be the landlord and ancillary infrastructure provider. Other potential Marsden Point

Energy Precinct projects include a diesel-fueled electricity peaking plant which is designed to

provide up to 72MW of fast-start peaking capacity from fuel already stored within Channel’s fuel

import terminal system. Channel is currently engaging with electricity market participants in

respect of a potential long-term capacity contract arrangement and assessing consenting

requirements for the project.

Channel is also actively pursuing inorganic growth, including consolidation along its current supply

chain where possible, and has recently acquired a 25% interest in the Somerton jet fuel pipeline,

a critical infrastructure asset in Melbourne’s jet fuel supply chain.

About Channel Infrastructure


Channel Infrastructure is New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal business, storing and

distributing 40% of New Zealand’s transport fuel, including 80% of New Zealand’s jet fuel. We

receive, store, test and distribute petrol, diesel, and jet fuel that our customers import and supply

to Auckland and Northland.

Fuel is imported via our deep-water harbour and jetty infrastructure at Marsden Point and stored

in more than 290 million litres of contracted storage tanks on site. The fuel is then distributed via

our 170-kilometre pipeline to Auckland, or by our customers (bp, Mobil, and Z Energy) via truck

into Northland. We underpin the resilience of New Zealand’s fuel supply chain with our tank

capacity, which enables increased storage of fuel in New Zealand, and through efficient, low-

emission distribution of the fuel into the Auckland market. Given our proximity to Auckland, and




critical role in the jet fuel supply chain, Channel is well positioned to support the renewable fuel

transition.

Our plan for growth includes supporting fuel resilience for New Zealand through additional fuel

storage on our site, unlocking the strategic value of the Marsden Point Energy Precinct Concept

which reflects the significant role Channel could play in supporting New Zealand’s energy

transition – through potential opportunities including supporting the manufacture of lower-carbon

future fuels, as well as a range of potential energy security opportunities, and exploring expansion

beyond Marsden Point.

Channel Infrastructure also owns a 25% interest in the Somerton jet fuel pipeline to Melbourne

Airport and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Independent Petroleum Laboratory Limited, provides fuel

quality testing services throughout New Zealand.
