Maintenance capex/ Depreciation %
QUBE
100%
Maintenance capex has been increasing as a result of large growth and acquisition
capex spend over past 3 years (~$750m).
We recently provided guidance for FY23 maintenance capex to be between 85-95%
of underlying depreciation.
Given a strong focus on operational maintenance (preventative opex) Qube expects
most assets could be utilised past their depreciation periods.
Maintenance capex could be reduced however trade off to possible higher
maintenance opex (or downtime) would need to be considered.
Maintenance capex may be lumpy depending on the nature and age of the asset
base. Further work needs to be done on medium to longer term maintenance capex
cycles.
How ESG plays into our future asset base will also need to be considered at the
appropriate time. When the technology (zero or lower carbon usage assets)
becomes commercially available there will be a catalyst to commence switching out
our existing assets. Unlikely to be material in next 2-3 years.
