CDC Independent Valuation – 31 March 2026


CDC’s valuation increased by 7.2% during the quarter, reflecting continued growth in CDC’s

pipeline of operating and planned capacity, and the successful completion of a A$500 million

equity raise (with Infratil contributing A$250 million) to support acceleration of the development

pipeline.


Excluding the equity raise, the valuation increased by 3.5% on a like-for-like basis.


The 31 March 2026 independent valuation of CDC increased by A$1.0 billion from 31 December

2025, to A$15.0 billion, reflecting the mid-point of the assessed valuation range of A$14.1 billion

to A$16.0 billion.


On this basis, Infratil’s 49.72% interest in CDC is valued at A$7,454 million, up A$500 million from

A$6,954 million at 31 December 2025.

CDC’s valuation increased by 7.2% during the quarter, reflecting continued growth in CDC’s pipeline of operating and planned capacity, and the

successful completion of a A$500 million equity raise to support acceleration of the development pipeline. Excluding the equity raise, the valuation

increased by 3.5% on a like-for-like basis.

–The 31 March 2026 independent valuation of CDC increased by A$1.0 billion from 31 December 2025, to A$15.0 billion, reflecting the mid-point

of the assessed valuation range of A$14.1 billion to A$16.0 billion.

–On this basis, Infratil’s 49.72% interest in CDC is valued at A$7,454 million, up A$500 million from A$6,954 million at 31 December 2025.

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

–The completion of a A$500 million equity raise, with Infratil contributing A$250 million alongside other major shareholders.

–The addition of cash flows associated with the expansion of CDC’s build programme, which has increased by 156MW since the December 2025

update. This was largely driven by expanded capacity at CDC’s Marsden Park campus, enabled by design and densification updates at the site.

–A renewed funding plan, including the diversification of funding sources and the incorporation of a A$2.7 billion bank debt raise completed in

March 2026 (representing a net increase in debt capacity of A$2.1 billion), which was strongly supported by existing and new lenders.

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

costs over the forecast period, and an increase in the cost of equity.

The independent valuer’s assessment of the cost of equity increased to 11.84% from 11.64% in December 2025:

–This was largely driven by an increase in the forecast gearing ratio, reflecting the acceleration and growth of CDC’s debt-funded construction

activity.

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 103MW, reflecting the ongoing

buildout of CDC’s Eastern Creek campus.

–Construction commenced for over 100MW of built capacity at CDC’s

Laverton campus in Melbourne and over 200MW at the Marsden Park

campus in Sydney.

–The pipeline to FY34 increased by 156MW, primarily reflecting design

updates at the Marsden Park site.

(Note: design and densification initiatives may result in capacity increases as

customer requirements and site opportunities continue to evolve.)
