The information in this presentation does not contain all the information which a prospective investor may require in evaluating a possible investment in APA Group and should be read in conjunction with the APA Group's other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements which are available at www.apa.com.au. All references to dollars, cents or '$' in this presentation are to Australian currency, unless otherwise stated. Not financial product advice: Please note that APA Group Limited is not licensed to provide financial product advice in relation to securities in APA Group. This presentation is for information purposes only and is not financial product or investment advice or a recommendation to acquire APA Group securities and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individuals. Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs and seek professional advice if necessary. Past performance: Past performance information should not be relied upon as (and is not) an indication of future performance. Forward looking statements: This presentation contains certain forward looking information, including about APA Group, which is subject to risk factors. "Forward-looking statements" may include indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance, statements regarding APA Group's future strategies and capital expenditure, statements regarding estimates of future demand and consumption and statements regarding APA's climate transition plans and strategies, the impact of climate change and other sustainability issues for APA, energy transition scenarios, actions of third parties, and external enablers such as technology development and commercialisation, policy support, market support, and energy and offsets availability. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as, 'expect', 'anticipate', 'likely', 'intend', 'could', 'may', 'predict', 'plan', 'propose', 'will', 'believe', 'forecast', 'estimate', 'target', 'outlook', 'guidance', 'goal', 'ambition' and other similar expressions and include, but are not limited to, forecast EBIT and EBITDA, free cash flow, operating cash flow, distribution guidance and estimated asset life.. At the date of this presentation, APA Group believes that there are reasonable grounds for these forward looking statements and due care and attention has been used in preparing this presentation. However, the forward looking statements, opinions and estimates provided in this presentation are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretations of current market conditions and are subject to risk factors associated with the industries in which APA Group operates. Forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of APA Group, and may involve significant elements of subjective judgement and assumptions as to future events which may or may not be correct. There can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not materially differ from these forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates. A number of important factors could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, opinions and estimates. These factors include: general economic conditions; exchange rates; technological changes; the geopolitical environment; the extent, nature and location of physical impacts of climate change; changes associated with the energy market transition; and government and regulatory intervention, including to limit the impacts of climate change or manage the impact of Australia's transitioning energy system. There are also limitations with respect to climate scenario analysis, and it is difficult to predict which, if any, of the scenarios might eventuate. Scenario analysis is not an indication of probable outcomes and relies on assumptions that may or may not prove to be correct or eventuate. Investors should form their own views as to these matters and any assumptions on which any forward-looking statements, estimates or opinions are based. APA Group assumes no obligation to update or revise such information to reflect any change in expectations, contingencies or assumptions. Investment risk: An investment in securities in APA Group is subject to investment and other known and unknown risks, some of which are beyond the control of APA Group. APA Group does not guarantee any particular rate of return or the performance of APA Group. Non-IFRS financial measures: APA Group results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, investors should be aware that this presentation includes certain financial measures that are non-IFRS financial measures for the purposes of providing a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of the APA Group. These non-IFRS financial measures include FCF, EBIT, EBITDA and other "normalised" measures. Such non-IFRS information is unaudited, however the numbers have been extracted from the audited financial statements. Not an offer: This presentation does not constitute an offer, invitation or recommendation to subscribe for or purchase any security. In particular, this presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in the United States or to persons that are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States, unless they have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the U.S. Securities Act), or are offered and sold in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and any other applicable state securities laws. Non-GAAP financial measures: Investors should be aware that certain financial data included in this presentation are "non-GAAP financial measures" under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These measures are EBITDA, normalised EBITDA and statutory EBITDA. The disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures in the manner included in the presentation may not be permissible in a registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act. These non-GAAP financial measures do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Although APA Group believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and condition of its business, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non- GAAP financial measures included in this presentation.

The methodology of calculating debt has changed, for details refer to the Financing Activities section of APA Group's FY23 Annual Report. Operating cash flow = net cash from operations after interest and tax payments. Free cash flow is Operating Cash Flow adjusted for strategically significant transformation projects, less stay-in-business (SIB) capex. SIB capex includes operational assets lifecycle replacement costs and technology lifecycle costs. The credit metric ratios are now calculated to be more closely aligned with credit rating agency methodology (FY22 comparative has also been restated). Based on the previous methodology, FFO/Net debt was 11.5% for the 12 months to 30 June 2022. FFO/Interest is unchanged at 3.6 times for the 12 months to 30 June 2022. apa APA FY23 Results Investor Presentation 52#53apa Regulatory Dynamics Diamantina Power Station 09#54Regulation of Australian gas pipelines APA pipelines by regulation type Full regulation pipelines Light regulation pipelines Non-scheme pipelines Partly full regulation/non-scheme pipelines During FY23 approximately 8.2% of APA's Energy Infrastructure revenues were subject to regulated outcomes. Gas pipelines in Australia are regulated under the National Gas Law (NGL) and National Gas Rules (NGR) by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) or the Economic Regulation Authority of Western Australia (ERA). On 2 March 2023, amendments to the NGL and NGR were proclaimed and came into effect across all states except Western Australia. Prior to these amendments (and ongoing in WA), the NGL and NGR established 2 regulatory pipeline frameworks: 1. Scheme pipelines (NGR Parts 8-12) subject to either: - Full regulation with regulator approved tariffs and terms and conditions; or - Light regulation where pipeline owners publish services and prices and comply with information provision requirements. 2. Non-Scheme pipelines (NGR Part 23) where tariffs and terms are negotiated between parties. The 2 March 2023 amendments to the NGL and NGR discontinue light regulation and transition to a: • 'heavier' form of regulation, based on the current full regulation for scheme pipelines; or • 'lighter' form of regulation, based on the previous Part 23 (now Part 10) regime for non scheme pipelines. In practice, pipelines currently subject to full regulation are not expected to experience much change. APA's non-scheme pipelines and pipelines previously subject to light regulation will transition to the new 'lighter' form of regulation. Following on from this legislative change, the regulator will now have the power to determine the form of regulation to apply to a particular pipeline. In effect, this means that the AER can decide to apply full regulation to non-scheme pipelines. The AER would then have the role of approving capital and operating expenditure and rates of return under five year access arrangement proposals. APA will also be required to publish actual contracted prices across its pipeline network. Further changes to the information disclosure framework will take place from FY25, under a new Pipeline Information Disclosure Guideline, currently under development. apa 54 APA FY23 Results Investor Presentation#55Regulation of Australian gas pipelines (continued) Schedule of regulatory reset dates for APA Current regulatory period 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Vic Transmission System(1) Goldfields Gas Pipeline Amadeus Gas Pipeline Roma Brisbane Pipeline (2) Access arrangement Reference tariff Regulated revenue Regulated asset base (RAB) .
