28 August 2026

Channel delivers strong HY26 result, with contracted growth supporting earnings

outlook

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (NZX: CHI, ASX: CHI), New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal

business, has today released its financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 (HY26). Key

highlights include:

• Strong HY26 financial result, with revenue up 4% to $72.9 million and EBITDA of $48.8 million

• Normalised Free Cash Flow from operations was $33.6 million, down from $35.2 million reflecting

phasing of maintenance capital expenditure. Maintenance capex remains on track for 8-10% of revenue

for FY26

• FY26 EBITDA guidance upgraded to $103 – $108 million, from May upgrade of $97 – $105 million

• Interim dividend increased 16% to 7.25 cents per share up from 6.25 cents per share in HY25

• World-class operational performance maintained through a period of disruption to global fuel supply

markets, with pipeline and tank availability of 99%

• An additional 123 million litres of jet and diesel storage brought into service, increasing in-service

storage at Marsden Point by approximately 40%. The 93 million litre New Zealand Government diesel

storage project was delivered safely, on time, and on budget in just nine weeks

• Further contracted earnings growth expected in FY27 as a result of full-year contributions from recently

completed growth projects

• US$5.95 million sale and removal of fully decommissioned CCR Platformer unit as part of critical

enabling works for Marsden Point Biorefinery. Given the global environment the consortium’s equity

raising process is taking longer than originally anticipated and credible potential equity providers remain

actively engaged and due diligence is well progressed, however, the timing of Final Investment Decision

will likely now extend into 2027

Chair James Miller said: “We are focused on selective and value-accretive growth as we build a world-class

mid-stream energy infrastructure company across Australasia. The investments we have made are

translating into long-term contracted revenues and growing cash flows, supporting the Board’s focus on

stable and growing dividends.

“This is another strong operational and financial result for Channel. We have upgraded FY26 EBITDA

guidance for the second time this year, increased the interim dividend by a significant 16%, and delivered

significant contracted growth that will contribute to earnings through the second half of 2026 and into 2027.

“The Marsden Point Energy Precinct is our strategic priority and has the potential to be transformational for

Northland – bringing investment, skilled jobs and new industries to the region, while cementing Marsden

Point’s role at the heart of New Zealand’s energy future.”

Chief Executive Rob Buchanan said: “The first half of 2026 demonstrates what Channel can deliver. In six

months we have brought 123 million litres of additional jet and diesel storage into service – increasing our

in-service storage at Marsden Point by around 40% – while maintaining world-class asset availability

through a period of global fuel supply disruption.

“The increased focus on energy security is creating opportunities for Channel to leverage its world-class

operating ability and proven project delivery capability for further conversion opportunities. Potential

renewable fuels projects, such as the Marsden Point Biorefinery, become even more valuable for New

Zealand by supporting the security of New Zealand’s fuel supply chain as well as underpinning its long-

term sustainability goals.

“As we continue to demonstrate, we remain disciplined about growth. We are focused on opportunities

where Channel can use the strategic value of the infrastructure we already own and the capability of our

team to develop and deliver infrastructure solutions that create value for shareholders while strengthening

the fuel supply chains in which we operate.”

Dividend

The Board has declared a HY26 interim unimputed dividend of 7.25 cents per share which will be paid on

24 September 2026 and represents a 16% increase on the HY25 dividend. Participants in the Dividend

Reinvestment Plan may elect to receive Channel shares for part or all of their interim dividend entitlement,

at a 1% discount to the calculated market price for the shares, calculated in accordance with the Dividend

Reinvestment Plan Offer Document dated 27 February 2026.

Guidance and outlook

The Board has upgraded FY26 EBITDA guidance to $103–$108 million, from $97–$105 million in May,

reflecting the earlier commissioning of Z Energy jet storage, additional Government diesel storage revenue

and greater visibility of fuel throughputs.

Looking ahead to FY27, EBITDA will benefit from full-year contributions from the Z Energy jet storage and

Higgins bitumen import terminal contracts, together expected to contribute approximately $9 million, and

approximately $14 million from the New Zealand Government diesel storage contract.

Maintenance capital expenditure guidance of 8–10% of revenue, Normalised Free Cash Flow conversion

guidance and Channel’s dividend policy remain unchanged.

About Channel Infrastructure

Channel Infrastructure is New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal business, storing and distributing 40%

of New Zealand’s transport fuel, including 80% of New Zealand’s jet fuel. We receive, store, test and

distribute petrol, diesel, and jet fuel that our customers import and supply to Auckland and Northland.

Fuel is imported via our deep-water harbour and jetty infrastructure at Marsden Point and stored in more

than 410 million litres of contracted storage tanks on site. The fuel is then distributed via our 170-kilometre

pipeline to Auckland, or by our customers (bp, Mobil, and Z Energy) via truck into Northland. We underpin

the resilience of New Zealand’s fuel supply chain with our tank capacity, which enables increased storage

of fuel in New Zealand, and through efficient, low emission distribution of the fuel into the Auckland market.

Given our proximity to Auckland, and critical role in the jet fuel supply chain, Channel is well positioned to

support the renewable fuel transition. Channel also has more than 350 million litres of tank capacity

available for repurposing to finished product storage to support fuel security projects and a further 45

hectares of consented, freehold land available for greenfields fuel storage projects.

Our plan for growth includes supporting fuel resilience for New Zealand through additional fuel storage on

our site, unlocking the strategic value of the Marsden Point Energy Precinct Concept which reflects the

significant role Channel could play in supporting New Zealand’s energy transition – through potential

opportunities including supporting the manufacture of lower-carbon future fuels, as well as a range of

potential energy security opportunities, and exploring expansion beyond Marsden Point.

Channel Infrastructure also owns a 25% interest in the Somerton jet fuel pipeline to Melbourne Airport and

its wholly-owned subsidiary, Independent Petroleum Laboratory Limited, provides fuel quality testing

services throughout New Zealand.

Growth in Jet demand during H1

•HY26 jet volumes grew by 2.5%, broadly in line with Channel’s

expectations

•Strong first quarter 2026 jet throughput reflected continued growth

of international services at Auckland Airport before the conflict in

the Middle East

•Q2 2026 jet throughput was impacted by higher jet prices and

Middle Eastern carriers operating a reduced schedule with flights

beginning to be restored towards the end of the quarter

•The earlier than expected return of Air New Zealand’s full widebody

fleet in June 2026 marks the end of their engine shortage

groundings, supporting international capacity and continued

growth in jet fuel demand

•Somerton throughput broadly in line with expectations, albeit

Melbourne Airport impacted to a greater extent than Auckland by

schedule disruptions to Middle Eastern carriers in Q2

solution to supplement existing New Zealand fertiliser manufacturing

•While offtake agreements to underwrite the project see the majority of fuel exported, with up to

400 million litres per annum of production that could be made available for the domestic

market, the project could have significant fuel security benefits for New Zealand in times of

constrained supply or crisis

•Channel has agreed the US$5.95 million sale and removal of fully decommissioned CCR

of 2027

•Given the global environment, the consortium’s equity raise process is taking longer than

originally anticipated and is complex and ongoing, but at this stage highly credible potential

equity providers remain actively engaged and their due diligence is well progressed. The

proposed Marsden Point Biorefinery remains the highest and best use of the decommissioned

hydrocracker assets at this point

•Channel’s current assessment is that with the consortium’s equity raise process being a key

condition precedent to a final investment decision (FID), the completion of this process will likely

delay the timing of FID into 2027

•Channel anticipates any asset sale proceeds from the hydrocracker will be received upon

financial close, following conclusion of the debt raising process, with lease revenue expected to

begin with the consortium’s acquisition of the hydrocracking assets

Marsden Point Biorefinery project scope expanded

MARSDEN POINT BIOREFINERY CONSORTIUM ARRANGED BY SEADRA ENERGY:

Project Highlights

Aviation Fuel (SAF), and urea and

other fertilisers

Utilises existing Marsden Point

infrastructure, jetty, storage tanks

and pipeline networks

Strengthens New Zealand’s resilience

to global supply chain disruptions

Supports New Zealand’s emission

reduction goals

Strong HY26 operational and financial performance, alongside continued exceptional overall project development

and delivery

Further contracted revenue uplift in H2 FY26 and FY27 from completed jet and diesel storage, while monitoring impact

of continued high fuel prices on fuel demand

Geopolitical uncertainty has created opportunities for Channel to leverage its world-class operating capability and

readily available assets to support fuel resilience through storage infrastructure

Renewable fuel projects, including the Marsden Point Biorefinery, increasingly viewed as security of supply projects

rather than solely sustainability initiatives

Strong pipeline of storage opportunities while continuing to evaluate acquisition opportunities in New Zealand and

Australia

Positioned for continued growth with energy security creating further opportunity

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

Reporting Entity

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (‘Parent’, ‘Company’

or ‘Channel Infrastructure’) is a profit-oriented company

registered under the Companies Act 1993 and an FMC

Reporting Entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. The Company is domiciled and

incorporated in New Zealand.

The Company's ordinary shares are quoted under the

ticker CHI on the NZX Main Board Equity Market (‘NZX

Main Board’) and as a Foreign Exempt Listing on the

Australian Securities Exchange operated by ASX Limited.

The Company's corporate bonds (ticker CHI020 and

CHI030) are quoted on the NZX Debt Market.

These consolidated interim financial statements

('financial statements') comprise Channel Infrastructure

together with its subsidiaries (‘the Group’). Subsidiaries

are all entities over which the Group has control and

include Channel Terminal Services Limited, Independent

Petroleum Laboratory Limited and Channel Infrastructure

Australia Pty Ltd.

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with International Accounting Standard

34: Interim Financial Reporting and New Zealand

Equivalents to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting, and also in accordance with

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand

('GAAP') applicable to for-profit entities. These financial

statements do not include all the information required to

be disclosed in annual consolidated financial statements

and should be read in conjunction with the Group's

consolidated financial statements for the year ended

31 December 2025.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these

financial statements are consistent with those used in the

Group's consolidated financial statements for the year

ended 31 December 2025.

Accounting standards not yet

effective

In May 2024 the External Reporting Board issued NZ IFRS

18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

('NZ IFRS 18'), effective for reporting periods commencing

on or after 1 January 2027. This accounting standard is

expected to change:


The presentation of the Group's income statement

as it introduces mandatory subtotals and

classification categories.

•The presentation of the Group's statement of cash

flows as it requires interest paid to be classified

as a cash flow from financing activities. Channel

Infrastructure currently presents interest paid as a cash

flow from operating activities.

NZ IFRS 18 is a presentation and disclosure standard and

therefore does not impact the financial position, financial

performance or cash flows of the Group.

Other standards, amendments and interpretations which

are not yet effective are not expected to have a material

impact on the Group.

Segment Reporting

The Group operates in one reportable segment,

Infrastructure, which comprises the fuels import terminal

system based at Marsden Point (including jetty

infrastructure at Marsden Point, storage tanks, and

the Marsden Point to Auckland pipeline), the Somerton

pipeline, and fuel testing laboratories. The Group

operates in New Zealand and Australia.

Use of Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires

judgements and estimates that affect the application

of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets,

liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may

differ from these estimates. The following areas involve

significant judgements and estimates:


Fair value of property, plant and equipment –

the Group adopts the fair value model as the

measurement base for property, plant and equipment

(refer to Note 6 for further details).

•Assets held for sale – the Group continues to report

decommissioned refinery assets that are subject to a

conditional sale agreement, as property, plant and

equipment, rather than as assets held for sale (refer

to Note

6 for further details).

•Provisions – the Group continues to recognise several

provisions in relation to the conversion of the refinery

into a dedicated fuels import terminal operation (refer

to Note 9 for further details).

•Recoverability of tax losses – the Group's

accumulated tax losses amount to $348 million at

11

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

30 June 2026. A deferred tax asset in respect of these
unutilised tax losses is recognised, having regard to

the Shareholder Continuity Test and an assessment of

future taxable profits available against which the tax

losses can be recovered, and therefore the deferred

4Borrowings
At 30 June 2026 the Group has total debt funding facilities available of $439.3 million (represented by NZ$215.0 million

NZD bank facilities, A$20.0 million AUD bank facilities and NZ$200.0 million retail bonds).

The Group borrows under a Common Terms Deed which requires the Group to maintain an Interest Cover Ratio of at

least 2.5 to 1, and a Gearing Ratio of not more than 55% at each reporting date (30 June and 31 December). The Group

was in compliance with these financial undertakings as at the end of, and in respect of, the six months ended 30 June

2026 and the year ended 31 December 2025.

The borrowings are unsecured.

At 30 June 2026 the average tenor is 3.1 years (31 December 2025: 3.6 years).

The carrying amount of the Group's borrowings issued at floating rate (revolving cash advances) closely approximate

their fair value.

At 30 June 2026, the fair value of the CHI020 retail bond is $101.8 million compared to its carrying amount of

$100.2 million. The fair value is based on the quoted market price at 30 June 2026.

At 30 June 2026, the fair value of the CHI030 retail bond is $106.5 million compared to its carrying amount of

$100.8 million. The CHI030 retail bond ($100 million, maturing in November 2029) is subject to a fair value hedge for a

notional amount of $50 million maturing in May 2027. The fair value is based on the quoted market price at 30 June

2026, adjusted for effective changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

The table below outlines the maturity profile of the facilities at 30 June 2026:

nature of trade receivables, their carrying amount is considered the same as their fair value.

At 31 December 2025, other receivables included $3.8 million held in the Employment Court’s trust account. The funds

were returned to the Company during the period following its successful appeal (on certain matters)

of the Employment Relations Authority’s determination that the Group incorrectly calculated redundancy

compensation payments.

17

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

6Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment except capital work in progress is recognised at fair value less accumulated

depreciation and any impairment losses recognised after the date of revaluation. Capital work in progress is

recognised at cost. The Group's import terminal assets, decommissioned refining plant and unutilised land are all

categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the period there were no transfers between the levels of the

fair value hierarchy.

Valuation of property, plant and equipment

Import terminal assets

The Import Terminal System (ITS) was independently valued by Deloitte at 31 December 2024.

The net present value methodology was used to determine a market participant's sales value.  This approach values

the assets of the ITS that are currently in operation and the land that the ITS occupies. The fair value of the ITS

excludes the unutilised land, the residual value of decommissioned refinery plant and the revenue from tanks that

require additional growth capex as at the valuation date. This means that the revenue to be earned from the 10-year

jet fuel storage contract with Z Energy (announced in August 2024) and the contract to develop a bitumen import

terminal for Higgins (announced in November 2024) is not included in the ITS fair value assessment.

The key assumptions used in the valuation include the September 2024 Envisory fuel demand forecasts, forecast

import terminal fees, forecast operational and capital expenditure, and discount rates. A review of the key inputs used

in the 2024 valuation, updated to 30 June 2026 indicates that there has been no material change in the fair value of

the import terminal assets at 30 June 2026.

Decommissioned refining plant

The decommissioned refining plant is valued at fair value less costs of disposal.

The fair value of the decommissioned refining plant is primarily based on an estimate of the quantity (tonnes) of ferrous

and non-ferrous materials embedded in the refining plant and an estimate of scrap metal prices for the expected

grade quality of the materials.

The quantity of ferrous and non-ferrous materials is estimated based on industry norms, and the scrap metal prices are

estimated based on market pricing provided by a local (New Zealand) scrap metal merchant. The most recent pricing

was provided in June 2026.

The fair value of the decommissioned refinery plant was updated at 30 June 2026 to reflect:

•The reduction in quantity of metal due to the transfer of the diesel tanks used in the government fuel security

contract to the Import Terminal System, and

•The change in the scrap metal prices during the period.

This resulted in recognition of a revaluation gain of $2.6 million in discontinued operations.

Unutilised land

The land held outside the ITS was independently valued by CBRE (Northland) at 31 December 2024.

A market-based comparison valuation approach was used. This approach determines fair value through considering

recent land sales and applying adjustments to reflect their different attributes including scale, location and condition.

There have been no indicators of a material change to the fair value of the unutilised land at 30 June 2026.

Additions

During the six months ended 30 June 2026 the Group recognised capital additions (including work in progress) of

$41.7 million (31 December 2025: $44.1 million). Additions in the period relate to the Government fuel security contract

(93 million litres of diesel), tank conversion for the Z Energy jet fuel storage contract, the construction of a bitumen

import terminal for Higgins and statutory tank inspection upgrades.

18

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

Depreciation
During the six months ended 30 June 2026 the Group recognised depreciation of $22.4 million (30 June 2025:

$22.0 million).

Conditional option agreement for decommissioned hydrocracking assets

On 8 July 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement (ASA) with US-based Seadra Energy Incorporated

(Seadra), granting Seadra an option to purchase certain decommissioned assets from the hydrocracking complex

(part of the former refinery) for US$33.875 million. Channel has received US$4.7 million in option payments (recognised

as deferred income).

On 30 September 2024 Channel and Seadra entered into a Project Development Agreement (PDA) relating to the

potential development of a biorefinery at Marsden Point. Should the PDA become unconditional, the proposed

biorefinery project would utilise the hydrocracking units that were the subject of the initial ASA plus potentially

additional decommissioned assets for further proceeds of up to US$22.96 million (total sale price of up to

US$56.835 million before transaction costs customary for asset sales of this nature).

Non-current assets are classified by the Group as assets held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered

principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable

within 12 months. Due to the challenges of developing technically feasible and financially viable projects involving

second-hand refining plant globally, and specifically noting the agreement with Seadra is conditional, the

decommissioned assets subject to the PDA have not been classified as assets held for sale at 30 June 2026.

Asset Sale Agreement for decommissioned CCR Platformer unit (July 2026)

In July 2026 the Company entered into an Asset Sale Agreement with Integrate Scope DMCC relating to the sale,

dismantling and removal of the decommissioned CCR Platformer unit (CCR).

The classification of the CCR as held for sale is a non-adjusting event after the reporting period and results in the

following, to be recognised in discontinued operations in July 2026:

•Revaluation of the CCR to its fair value less costs to sell, an estimated increase of $8 million, and

•Release of the proportion of the demolition provision relating to the CCR, estimated to be $3 million.

Net cash proceeds of US$5.95 million (NZ$10 million) will be received in instalments during 2026 and 2027.

7Contractual Commitments

The Group has contractual obligations to purchase assets and complete capital project works relating to the

development of a bitumen import terminal for Higgins, bund upgrades and Marsden Point site redevelopment including

the relocation of the control room and administration building. At 30 June 2026 contractual commitments amounted

to $38 million (31 December 2025: $43 million).

19

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

8Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Group leases the jetty seabed at Marsden Point, Auckland office space and a vehicle. The right-of-use assets are

depreciated over the period until the expiry of the lease.

During the period the jetty seabed lease was renewed and the lease term reassessed, resulting in an increase in lease

liabilities. The associated reduction in the jetty demolition provision (refer to Note 9 for further details) resulted in the

write-down of the right-of-use asset relating to the jetty lease.

The demolition and restoration provision includes the costs associated with the demolition of the jetty structure at

the end of the lease term. During the period the jetty seabed lease was renewed and the expected timing of the

jetty demolition was reassessed. The net impact of the reassessment is a reduction in the jetty demolition provision

of $9.4 million due to discounting the expected cost over an extended timeframe. This non-cash adjustment is initially

recognised as a write-down of the right-of-use asset, with the remaining amount of $7.2 million recognised as a

reduction in finance costs.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

10Contingencies
From time to time in the normal course of business, the Group is exposed to claims and legal proceedings that may in

some cases result in costs. Estimates and assumptions are made in determining the likelihood, amount and timing of

cash outflows when the outcome is uncertain.

As a condition of the 35 year resource consent granted in March 2021, the Group has committed to work with the

Northland Regional Council ahead of time (during the 20

th

year of consent or at least 12 months prior to the cessation

of terminal operations) to set out the actions necessary to maintain compliance for the discharges of contaminants.

Given the unknown nature of the future activities that may be agreed with the Northland Regional Council, no liability

has been recognised other than in relation to ongoing environmental monitoring activities over the remaining term of

the consent.

The Group has no other contingent liabilities as at 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: Nil).

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | 2026 Half Year Report

11Non-GAAP measures
Channel uses several non-GAAP measures when discussing financial performance. The Directors and management

believe that these measures provide useful information as they are used internally to evaluate the underlying

performance of the Group. 

Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP profit measures used by Channel

may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies.  Non-GAAP measures should not be

used in isolation nor as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS.

The definitions of the non-GAAP measures used by Channel and reconciliations to the amounts presented in the

Consolidated Income Statement are detailed below.
