Long-life essential infrastructure with stable, inflation-protected cash flows
Regulated revenues are insulated from volume exposure through the revenue cap regulatory regime providing revenue
certainty
The AER has made a final revenue determination for Ausgrid that allows for clear and predictable revenue over five years, from
1 July 2019 to 30 June 2024
95% of revenues are regulated
✓ The impact of COVID-19 on electricity consumption and Ausgrid's regulated revenues is temporary in nature, with the revenue
cap regulatory regime allowing Ausgrid to recover any revenue under-recovery in future years
Natural monopoly position in franchisee area within the State of NSW - no competition for transportation of electricity within
Ausgrid's existing network
✓ Core infrastructure servicing Sydney and parts of NSW - the most populous state in Australia
✓ Australia is one of the few remaining AAA economies with 28 consecutive years of GDP growth (prior to COVID-19)
Culture change and transition to new executive leadership with a significant safety focus
Productivity improvements and operational savings from the Transformation Program driving a sustainable reduction in opex
Credit ratings of Baa1 from Moody's and BBB from S&P (both stable outlook) and prudent approach to capital management
(Ausgrid's Treasury Policy and Partnership Deed requires that Ausgrid use reasonable endeavours to maintain a bbb/baa2
baseline credit assessment)
Shareholders, Board and management are committed to maintaining these credit ratings - shareholder support evidenced by
Board decision to reinvest dividends to support the business
Strong liquidity position of $614 million as at 30 June 2020. No debt maturities until December 2021
No covenant pressure with headroom against key thresholds
✓ $12.6 billion drawn debt with gearing of 76% net debt/RAB and $8.7 billion of acquisition equity value
