Costs Tideway capitalises costs for assets under construction and revenue is reported as deferred income during the construction phase. At 30 September 2016, costs of £325.0m were capitalised within the asset under construction on the statement of financial position. This represents £163.8m of costs during the period and £161.2m for the prior period to 31 March 2016. • • • - - Main works costs Main works costs are split between the three regional contracts West, Central and East for the design and construction of the main tunnel, the system integrator contract and the Volker Stevin marine contract. The costs incurred in the period include contractors' staff, design, consents and preliminary costs to support mobilisation, site preparation activities at key sites across the project and also to support the "Right Start" readiness programme. Other direct costs Third party costs for the management, monitoring and mitigation of the impact of construction on third parties and safety training costs. Indirect costs The largest indirect costs are resource costs of £29.9m; other indirect costs include information systems, premises and insurance. Excluded costs Excluded costs to 30 September 2016 are £17.1m which largely reflects financing costs.

Results . Tax • During the six month period ended 30 September 2016, Tideway reported a loss of £30.3m. We do not consider the reported loss in the period is a reflection of the performance of the business. The loss reflects the movement in the fair value in the Holdco Group's financial instruments that are recognised in the Income Statement because under IAS 23 these do not represent current borrowing costs and so, unlike our other expenditure, cannot be capitalised. A corporation tax charge of £nil was recognised in the period, which reflects the position that the Holdco Group did not have any taxable profits.

"The availability of three construction consortia provides significant protection in a contractor replacement scenario, as other experienced contractors will be on site and familiar with the project, reducing the time and cost to find a replacement." "Comprehensive government support package mitigates key construction risks, primarily by ensuring that sufficient funding will likely remain available in the event of cost overrun and/or delay scenarios. It will also compensate senior debt if construction is not completed." "Strong regulatory framework (albeit with some novel and untested features), overseen by Ofwat, which has an established track record in excess of 20 years for transparently regulating the water and sewerage companies in England and Wales." "Unlike most projects, BTL benefits from significant income during the construction phase. The licence provides for revenues on the basis of a return allowed on forward-looking capex up to the so-called threshold outturn amount." "Once operational, BTL will exhibit a similar risk profile to existing UK water and sewerage companies." " "Covenanted financing structure provides additional creditor protection." "Shareholders' commitment to provide equity and shareholder loan notes of around £1.274 billion upfront provides significant funding at the initial stages of the project." Fitch Ratings BBB+ (stable)- 5 August 2016 "The ratings reflect the substantial protection afforded to the construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT, the project) by a supportive, transparent and largely proven regulatory regime and strong support commitments from the UK government against completion and funding risk during construction. Furthermore, the ratings reflect the experience of the parties involved in the project's construction, achievable cost and schedule targets, and Fitch's view that once it is commissioned, the project's operational risk profile will be low." "The project's construction is inherently complex and lengthy. However, in Fitch's opinion, completion risk is well managed and mitigated thanks to the project's detailed planning, the involvement of several experienced contractors and personnel, a supportive regulatory framework under Ofwat's supervision and a strong support package from the UK government, which aims at providing liquidity and additional equity should severe stress scenarios materialise. Consequently, completion risk does not constrain the rating" "The revenue structure is based on the well-established approach used for the UK water sector and regulated by Ofwat, subject to the adjustments for the construction period. The issuer will not be exposed to volume risk, but will have exposure to tariff risk every five years during operations. The company earns a return on capital on its regulated capital value (RCV) and is able to recover depreciation, tax and allowable opex. The RCV will increase with inflation" "The project has very low operating risk as the tunnel uses proven technology, relies on gravity to transfer the sewage and has few moving parts. The main operating responsibilities of the project company are 10 year reviews of tunnel condition" "The company has already proven its ability to access capital markets through the recent successful issuance of GBP350m delayed-draw, index-linked bonds. Market access risk during construction is comprehensively mitigated by several features, such as the receipt of revenues as construction works progress, the covenants requiring capex and debt service liquidity covering 12 months, committed liquidity support from the government in the event of debt market disruption during construction and, upon commencement of operation, WACC adjustment for changes in debt costs during construction" 〃 23 23#24Ongoing Debt Investor Relations • Website • • Creditors' meeting once per year Compliance Certificate Investor Report VCDW JOUS THE HOME TUNNEL ABOUT US Home About us Investor Centre SEARCH NEWS OUR COMMUNITY Tideway HELP & ADVICE • Share this page on INVESTOR CENTRE Welcome to Tideway's Investor Centre The Investor Centre contains information on Tonway's corporate structure, creating acet act reports, pots and acces and rancal calendar.
