CDC investor presentation and guidance update
Infratil is holding a briefing for analysts and institutional investors in Sydney from 9am AEST
today, featuring the attached presentation from Australasian data centre operator CDC.
Infratil CEO Jason Boyes said data centre demand thematics remain very strong.
“Our focus is on supporting CDC to deliver more capacity to meet the growing demand for data
centre space across Australasia. Infratil, along with CDC’s other major shareholders, recently
provided A$500 million in equity funding to support the acceleration of CDC’s construction
programme,” he said.
Today’s event includes a site tour to CDC’s Eastern Creek campus, where two additional data
centres are nearing operational status and will significantly boost CDC’s operational capacity.
Infratil had previously guided that CDC’s FY25 EBITDAF would double to approximately A$660
million in FY27. Higher formal FY27 EBITDAF guidance of A$680 million to $720 million is now
provided based on the updated outlook for delivery of existing contracted capacity and the
expectation for continued strong demand.
FY26 EBITDAF is expected to be at the lower end of the current guidance range of A$390
million to A$400 million, reflecting the timing of existing contracted capacity that has been
weighted toward the back end of FY26.
CDC CEO Greg Boorer said recent geopolitical developments have highlighted Australasia’s
secure position and competitive differentiation as a strategic location for data centres.
“We attended the largest AI event in the United States last week, and one of the key takeaways
is that large-scale intelligence generation will be critical to future economic prosperity. The good
news is that Australasia is globally front of mind as a preferred secure option for large-scale
intelligence generation.
As a result, we’re having even more conversations with our strategic customers about their
increased capacity needs, and we’re continuing to build new intelligence generation capacity as
fast as we can to meet that increasing demand,” he said.
CDC has the largest pipeline of capacity within Australasia with 18 operational sites and another
5 under construction. An important contributor to CDC’s ability to fast track development is the
minimal water usage enabled by its closed-loop water cooling system. CDC added almost 200
megawatts of built operating capacity in the December quarter.

Sustainability
Our unique cooling system results in billions of litres of water every year being available
for the benefit of other sectors of the economy, as well as the communities around our
campuses and regions, instead of being used in our facilities.
01
Resilience
We inherently increase our operational resilience and lower risk for our customers, as our
facilities do not rely on external factors - such as water mains availability - for cooling.
02
Flexibility
Our innovative cooling system gives us ultimate flexibility when it comes to supporting our
customers deploy mixed power density requirements in the most efficient way.
