CDC Independent Valuation – 31 December 2025


CDC’s valuation increased in the quarter, supported by an additional 40MW of previously

announced contracted capacity, the addition of 196MW of built operating capacity, and continued

expansion of the build programme.


The 31 December 2025 independent valuation of CDC shows an increase of A$349 million since

30 September 2025, to A$14.0 billion, reflecting the mid-point of the assessed valuation range of

A$13.1 billion to A$15.0 billion.


On this basis, Infratil’s 49.72% interest in CDC is valued at A$6,954 million, up A$174 million from

A$6,780 million at 30 September 2025.


Further valuation details are included in the attached presentation document.

CDC’s valuation increased in the quarter, supported by an additional 40MW of previously announced contracted capacity, the addition of

196MW of built operating capacity, and continued expansion of the build programme.

The 31 December 2025 independent valuation of CDC shows an increase of A$349 million since 30 September 2025, to A$14.0 billion,

reflecting the mid-point of the assessed valuation range of A$13.1 billion to A$15.0 billion.

On this basis, Infratil’s 49.72% interest in CDC is valued at A$6,954 million, up A$174 million from A$6,780 million at 30 September 2025.

The key drivers of the movement in the valuationthis quarter were:

–The addition of cash flows associated with the expansion of CDC’s build programme, which has increased by 289MW since the

September 2025 update. This was largely driven by expanded capacity across both under-construction and future build sites, including

densification capacity uplifts at some sites.

–These positive cash-flow movements were partly offset by an upward shift in the forward yield curve, resulting in higher assumed interest

costs over the forecast period.

The operating updates above were reflected in the independent valuer’s assessment of the cost of equity, which increased to 11.64% from

11.38% in September 2025, driven by:

–An increase in the forecast gearing ratio, reflecting the growth in CDC’s debt-funded construction activity.

–Partially offset by a continued reduction in the Asset Specific Risk Premium as construction activity progresses and new contracts are

confirmed.

As announced previously, Infratil also expects to support this growth witha further A$250 million investment before the end of FY26.

The independent valuation assumes CDC continues to develop to 2040

(per the previous slide). CDC publishes its planned build programme

out to FY34 (per the table opposite). During the quarter:

–Operating capacity increased by 196MW, including inaugural operations at CDC’s

Marsden Park and Beard campuses, as well as the second data centre at the

Brooklyn campus.

–CDC’s pipeline to FY34 increased by 289MW, reflecting expanded capacity across

both under-construction and future build sites. This included design and

densification updates at some sites, as well as recognition of more of the planned

capacity at CDC’s first data centre campus in Perth following the start of

construction.

Note: design and densification initiatives will deliver further capacity

increases as customer requirements and site opportunities continue to evolve.
