⚫ ACOI: 33.7% down after FX as Energy segment declines, partially offset by Customer cost improvements
Customer: Lower energy procurement & hedging costs and lower bad debt. Slight reduction in customer
accounts. Continuing emphasis on operational efficiency and cost reductions
Energy: Margins declined as anticipated on lower wholesale prices and higher gas supply costs. Accelerated
depreciation on Yallourn early closure & restriction in operations after extreme rainfall also impacted ACOI
Progress assessment of Morwell River Diversion to ensure safe operation at the Yallourn coal mine
following exceptional rainfall
• Continued pressure on wholesale margins from lower forward prices and high gas supply costs
Longer term: Continuing emphasis on service excellence and progressing towards a lower emission
portfolio including Wooreen Battery, Tallawarra B, Kidston pumped hydro storage and customer-based
distributed resources, and planning for the early closure of Yallourn
