Global leader in infrastructure funds…

  5. Macquarie Ports Group… • Macquarie established dedicated Ports Group in 2005 • Ports Group responsible for assessing and managing investments on global basis • Ports Group combines unique blend of industry/operating expertise and investment/finance skills • Over USD 1 billion committed to Port investments across 12 terminals in 7 countries

  7. The characteristics of infrastructure are well suited for long term investors Long-term investors Infrastructure Essential services Strategiccompetitiveadvantage Inelastic demand Predictable long-termcash flows Low risk Long term Predictablepayments Infrastructure has been an asset class for over 15 years…

  8. HIGH Unregulated airport Seaport with high elasticity Road with exposure to narrow economy Variability ofReturns Trunk road Regulated utility Essential airport LOW LOW HIGH Competition But, not all infrastructure is created equal… Cash flows from infrastructure vary across AND within sectors

  9. Proportion of Government spending on infrastructure Percent Source: National Accounts, OECD, August 2006. 2002 data not available in the USA Increasing demand for private infrastructure investment… Private investment in infrastructure is growing as alternatives to government funding become increasingly necessary • Governments have traditionally facilitated infrastructure investment • But most governments globally are reducing their expenditure to focus on more politically sensitive areas such as education, social welfare and defence • This trend is likely to continue

  10. Investorinterest • Investors seek long-term investments in assets with quality, stable cash flows • Appetite depends on credit metrics & investment returns • Higher returns required for equity investment into businesses without established operational history Transaction considerations • “Wait & see” approach to making investments until there is an appropriate transaction • Tighter valuations than previously transacted • Fundamental operational performance is key • Seeking to use less leverage Investment criteria • Funds making equity investments from $50m - $500m depending on individual investors & considerations listed above • Certain investors including infrastructure funds require active role in business management • Evaluation of key criteria including un-geared returns, level of contracted revenues & yield Trends in the equity markets… Healthy infrastructure investor appetite remains to deploy capital for the right opportunity

  11. Detailed cash flow models • Ideally 30-year forecast horizon (and low reliance on terminal values) • Discount rates based on market pricing and experience but with additional return expectations to account for uncertainties, e.g.: • Less mature assets • Less predictable regulatory regimes • Uncertain returns on capex • Lower near-term cash yields • Mandate to deliver inflation plus 4-6%. In fact • OECD funds targeting low/mid-teen IRRs, with single-digit yields • Emerging markets lower yields (to fund growth), but increased overall returns…high teens+ Long-lived assets with relatively stable capital structures and predictable cash flows Infrastructure valuation methodology… Discounted cash flow remains the most appropriate way to value infrastructure

  12. Different approach to capital management is required……. Equity is replacing debt for new deals • Strategy for existing investments • Sell assets • Retain earnings • Recapitalise De-lever Ungeared IRR still meets the mandate of inflation plus 4% to 6% THEN THE FUTURE? Equity 15% IRR 10%UngearedIRR TRADE OFF Lower Return for Lower Risk Debt

  22. Implications for the port industry… • Most capacity expansion projects on hold or on slow build programs • Many projects have been cancelled, delayed or scaled back in size • Carriers under pressure are giving up terminal shareholdings they’ve accumulated • Reorganization of some carriers also has implications for terminal customer base • Terminals not discounting, but no tariff increases being implemented • Transhipment tariffs under greater pressure than local tariffs • Port authorities are helping by offering lease discounts • Port businesses are being valued at 8-12x EBITDA • Listed port company shares are under-valued by the markets

  23. Infrastructure Long Term Investors Conclusion • Port Infrastructure is still an attractive asset class for patient capital • Current market is more difficult, but deals are still getting done • In the medium term, likely to see investors returning as the industry de-levers • Current opportunities in emerging markets, to capture the value from • Market growth • Need for expertise to drive operational and financial performance • Current stimulus packages
