FY23 Trading Update and Outlook

Qube has experienced a strong start to FY23, with continued high volumes and margin improvement across
most parts of its business. Underlying revenue, earnings and margins were ahead of Qube's internal
expectations at the end of Q1. This was particularly pleasing as it was achieved despite some adverse
weather in the period, continued weakness in forestry export volumes from New Zealand, and the ongoing
impact from some of the other challenges that affected the FY22 results.
Despite the uncertain economic and interest rate environment, Qube remains positive about the remainder of
the period and confirms its FY23 full year guidance of underlying NPATA growth relative to FY22 and higher
underlying EPSA growth (compared to NPATA growth) due to the full year benefit from the share buyback
completed in May 2022.
This outlook continues to reflect the expectation of:
.
•
strong growth in underlying revenue and earnings (EBITA) in the Operating Division, with the
Logistics & Infrastructure business unit expected to achieve higher earnings growth than the Ports &
Bulk business unit;
strong growth in underlying EBITDA/EBIT for Patrick Terminals with the NPATA contribution from
Patrick Terminals modestly higher than FY22 due to an increased interest expense, mainly resulting
from higher base rates. Qube expects continued strong cash distributions from Patrick in FY23; and
increased corporate costs and a significant increase in interest expense.
This outlook continues to assume no material adverse change to current conditions in Qube's markets or
domestic or global economic and/or political conditions, including any deterioration due to COVID-19 that
impacts Qube's workforce, customers, markets, or operations. It also assumes that any further extreme
weather events, such as those that have impacted the east coast of Australia and parts of New Zealand in
2022, do not materially disrupt the operations of Qube or its customers during the remainder of FY23.
