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.
