1H26 performance was in line with our expectations.
Our focus continues to be building a high quality order book
with adherence to our risk guard rails and operating discipline.
For FY26, on an underlying basis, we are targeting:
▪revenue to be slightly lower than FY25 pro forma revenue
23
▪earnings and EBITA margin improvement
▪NPATA of $295 million to $315 million, assuming no material
change in economic conditions or market demand, and no
material weather disruptions.
This target is reflected in the
LTI scorecard gates and is not

▪Statutory NPAT grew 29.8% to $98.0m, driven by a 31.6% uplift in EBIT, with reduced
impact from individually significant items (ISI) (including divestments, restructuring
charges and impairments), and lower net interest expense, partially offset by a higher
tax expense. Refer to slide 18 for ISI and Note B4 of the Half Year Report.
▪Growth of 7.0% in underlying NPATA to $136.1m
▪Underlying EPS of 18.7 cps, up 10.0%
▪Earnings growth matched with 90.5% cash conversion exceeding our target of >90%
▪Strengthened balance sheet with net debt to EBITDA improving to 0.8x
▪Interim dividend of 12.9cps up 19.4% reflecting a payout ratio of 65% and 100% franked.

Corporate costs in the period reflected:
▪Transformation resulted in changes to the role of Corporate, leading to a more
efficient model. Cost reductions were achieved through lower headcount across
corporate functions, cost management disciplines, rationalisation of IT and
efficiencies in shared services
▪Decreases were achieved in insurance costs
▪Cost reductions partially offset by cost increases in salaries and incentives, CPI / cost
indexation of IT service agreements and property leases

Notes
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. In some instances, totals may not add due to rounding.
1The management target of >4.5% average EBITA margin across FY25 and FY26 is incorporated into Downer’s
long-term incentive plan and is not provided as guidance. Any forward looking statements are to be read in
conjunction with the important notice and disclaimer.
2The underlying result is a non-IFRS measure that is used by management to assess the performance of the
business and includes the contribution of divested businesses and assets held for sale. Non-IFRS measures
have not been subject to audit or review.
3Downer calculates and forecasts EBITA and NPATA by adjusting EBIT and NPAT to add back acquired
intangible assets amortisation expense.
4The interim dividend in 1H26 of 12.9 cents per share (cps) was franked 100% (2025: The interim dividend in
1H25 of 10.8 cps was franked 75%).
5Normalised underlying cash conversion has been adjusted to remove the cash outflows associated with
FY25 and 1H26 ISI (not in underlying EBITDA) totalling $13.9m (1H25 equivalent of $43.8m). Cash conversion is
calculated as operating cash flow excluding tax and interest, divided by underlying EBITDA.
