x.x Introduction Executive Summary Quarters Performance • The performance of the electricity business for the quarter ended December xxx has marginally under performed to Qx forecast by approximately ($x.xm) at $xx.xm. • Key drivers for the Qx performance has been: • lower gross margin achieved for electricity customer ($xm) • lower market sales at ($x.xm) and savings primarily from gas costs, +$x.xm due to ramp down of the Pinjarra units. • Additional revenue from a bilateral sale, +$x.xm, and dispatch receipts from Wagerup, +$x.xm Qx Forecast Full Year Performance • Full year Qx forecast for FYxx is forecast to be higher by $x.xm, at $xx.xm. • Key drivers for Qx full year is due to higher volume of customer sales forecast in Hx, +$x.xm, offset updated Pinjarra x major maintenance in June xxxx, ($x.xm).
x.xFYxx Quarter to Date Performance (ok) Quarter to Date Performance is ($x.xm) under Qx forecast for the electricity business C&I and SME segments have been below Qx forecast primarily due to lower prices achieved from customers. Reduction in market sales is attributed to reducing generation to minimum load due to low prices. Savings has been achieved primarily in gas costs from the reduction of generation. Sale of electricity to Griffin of $x.xm and additional dispatch receipts from Wagerup of $x.xm
x.x FYxx Quarter to Date Performance – Market Sales (ok) Lower electricity market sales have reduced the gross margin by ($x.xm). Market Sales The current generation profile of PNJ x and x mostly correlate with market prices. Where prices and customer demand are low, the generation is reduced to the minimum levels. Generation for both units has been low during overnight periods.

XXX Corp Sales Gas Risk and Opportunities Assessment Qx xx February xxxx
x.x Gas Mitigation Strategies (ok) • A number of mitigation strategies are currently being implemented which are expected to improve the outlook for FYxx • Mitigation strategies are focussed on reducing market exposed generation by reducing total electricity generation and increasing retail demand and are discussed in table below. Gas Mitigation Summary
x.x Mitigation Strategies – Gas Book (ok) Swap Arrangements XXX Corp is continues to explore opportunities to increase the flexibility in managing the gas book. Two Gas Swap arrangements were negotiated: A gas swap arrangement was of xxxTJ was forecast with XXXX Power. A gas swap arrangement has been successfully negotiate and as of Qx, only xxx TJ winter/summer swap is forecast to be achieved. Horizon Power to date has not taken any gas. APA xxx TJ swap arrangement with FYxx gas during summer was negotiated. In December xxxx, APA took a gas swap of only xxTJ. For Qx the combined impact of the two swap arrangements was expected to improve FYxx gross margin by $x.xxm. As a result of the lower volumes the EBITDA impact is considered negligible.

The net impact acquisition against Qx forecast is, ($x.xm) NWS Gas Swap Opportunity XXX Corp was successful negotiating with the NWS to reduce take or pay gas volumes in the summer of FYxx by xx TJ a day with the gas to be received back in FYxx. The swap arrangement has improved flexibility in xxxx and assists in reducing the short gas position that is forecast to arise towards the end of FYxx and forecast to improve FYxx gross margin by $x.xm.
