BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Stanwell is a diversified energy business.

We own coal, gas and water assets, which we use to generate electricity; we sell electricity directly to business customers; and we trade gas, coal and electricity products.

With a generating capacity of more than 4,000 megawatts (MW), Stanwell is the largest electricity generator in Queensland. Stanwell has the capacity to supply approximately 45 per cent of the State’s peak electricity requirements through its coal, gas and hydro generation assets.

Our values – safe, responsible and commercial – shape how we lead and operate our business.

Stanwell’s portfolio of energy assets include:

SHAREHOLDER MANDATE

On 19 July 2016, Stanwell received the Shareholder Mandate. The mandate articulates shareholding Ministers’ expectations regarding strategic direction and performance of the business, as well as areas of potential growth and development of Stanwell.

In line with the Shareholder Mandate, Stanwell will operate its business as efficiently and effectively as possible to extract value from its portfolio of energy assets. Stanwell will focus on delivering stable and commercial cash returns to shareholders.

Stanwell will continue the provision of thermal generation and play a role in an increasing renewables market without the need to develop, invest or own new conventional or renewable generation capacity. These opportunities include:

• providing market services that assist in maintaining the stability and efficiency of the electricity system as more renewable sources of generation come online;

• implementing trading strategies to create value from the likely increased daily volatility through having generation fleet that is flexible enough to respond to both high and low load periods;

• providing land and access to connections for large scale renewables; and

In the retail electricity market, Stanwell will continue to operate in the large and medium size C&I market.

Specific areas for improvement Stanwell will focus on the following areas of improvement, consistent with the Shareholder Mandate. Specific detail on how Stanwell will deliver on these priorities is contained in the 2016/17 Statement of Corporate Intent.

1. Meeting or exceeding efficiency saving targets as detailed in the 2015/16 Mid-Year Review

2. Optimising support functions spend to a level that is commensurate with industry peers

3. Determining optimal information technology requirements to support the corporate strategy and establishing an information technology roadmap

Please refer to page 7 for specific initiatives to address these areas for improvement.

Additional opportunities Stanwell will consider the following opportunities to further enhance the value of its business:

• Trading model and value creation – Stanwell will optimise the value of its trading strategy from a whole of portfolio perspective. Stanwell will also explore additional trading opportunities under an appropriate trading model, taking into consideration likely future market opportunities.

• Asset management – Business cases will assess the future value from investing capital in asset reliability and integrity in changing market conditions. Stanwell will also investigate opportunities to reduce expenditure associated with scheduled outages, including overhaul scope, frequency, duration and best practice project/contract management.

• Operations and maintenance – Stanwell will examine opportunities to reduce expenditure on operations and maintenance in light of changing life and operating requirements.

• Working capital performance – Stanwell will continue to apply a commercial approach to complement its operational focus on inventory management and payments.

• Asset flexibility – Stanwell will investigate opportunities to improve flexibility in its existing fleet of assets in a transitioning market to enable faster load changes and lower minimal load.

STANWELL’S RESPONSE TO THE SHAREHOLDER MANDATE

Stanwell’s business transformation process Stanwell is acutely aware of the need to transform its business over the next four years, in order to ensure the business’ continued profitability in a radically more competitive and dynamic future energy industry.

With this in mind, Stanwell has launched a business transformation process, to ensure its change process has the support and ownership of its people at all levels of the business and to achieve more rapid and sustainable results.

At the same time, Stanwell will fulfil the requirements of the Shareholder Mandate, specifically:

1. meeting or exceeding efficiency saving targets as detailed in Government’s 2015/16 Mid-Year Review;

2. optimising support functions spend to a level that is commensurate with industry peers; and

3. determining optimal information technology requirements to meet corporate strategy and establishing an information technology roadmap.

Achievements to date

Exceeding efficiency saving targets

In 2015/16, Stanwell made significant progress towards the efficiency savings targets outlined in the mandate, achieving $ million towards the five year target of $111.0 million. This is summarised in the table below against four priority areas (compared with the baseline budget contained in Stanwell’s 2016/17 to 2020/21 Corporate Plan):

Efficiency saving target ($m) Revenue

Support and operating costs

Capital expenditure

TOTAL 2015/16

Total by 2019/20 111.0

The business achieved a Net Profit after Tax of $170.2 million for 2015/16 against a target of $ million. The generation business contributed $ million to this result following significant changes to the business over the past five years, including rigorous cost management and business streamlining.

Key drivers of this outcome are:

• Revenue (measured as Gross Profit): $ million higher than budget. Major areas of achievement were:

– National Electricity Market Electricity Gross Profit was in line with full year targets;

– gas sales were more than $ million higher than budget; and

– environmental certificates were more than $ million higher than budget;

• Support and operating costs: $ .0 million favourable to budget. Further detail is provided in the following section titled ‘Optimising support function expenditure’; and

Page 8: STATEMENT OF CORPORATE INTENT · 2017-09-20 · 2016/17 Statement of Corporate Intent. 1. Meeting or exceeding efficiency saving targets as detailed in the 2015/16 Mid- Year Review

• Capital expenditure: $ million less than budget.

Optimising support functions expenditure:

The reduction in support costs includes material savings in relation to labour and consultant costs, predominantly information technology related service contracts and consultant spend.

Determining optimal information technology requirements:

A business capability assessment process is expected to be finalised by the end of September 2016, to determine Stanwell’s information technology priorities and investment agenda for the next five years.

The process will assess our current state as well as each business unit’s future plans, reviewing business drivers and capabilities, information technology needs and opportunities for systems to increase workplace efficiency. Outputs will be used to determine the business’ information technology demand, and to inform design of a fit for purpose information technology supply model and longer term strategy.

Planned opportunities Stanwell is establishing a four-year pipeline of opportunities which ensure it is fit for the future and exceeds the requirements outlined in the Shareholder Mandate. To date, opportunities include the following (consistent with Appendix A: Strategy implementation plan):

• continued management of Stanwell Energy’s retail load, focusing on the retention of high quality commercial and industrial load;

• pursuit of best value whole-of-portfolio fuel outcomes. In terms of gas, this includes a decision on the future of Swanbank E Power Station which is currently in cold storage. From a coal perspective, this includes a resolution of the current Wesfarmers legal dispute,

• pursuit of additional long-term wholesale deals with key industrial customers to provide revenue security and also ensure continued security of supply and affordable electricity in Queensland;

• liaison with proponents of large-scale renewable projects to understand their needs and build Stanwell’s industry knowledge and capability, to inform future initiatives in relation to renewable projects (in line with mandate guidelines);

• a review of all work conducted at corporate offices, to assess value and alignment in relation to Stanwell’s new business strategy. Work which does not align to the strategy will no longer be conducted. Workforce structures and resourcing plans will be reviewed in line with the findings of this assessment. Some workforce changes will be progressed over a number of years, and others will be more immediate;

• a focus on capital, operating and maintenance cost optimisation across all sites, including challenging the value from investing in asset reliability and integrity;

• optimisation of overhaul and maintenance costs on work performed during scheduled outages;

• outage strategy review, including safety standards, overhaul scope, frequency, duration and project execution;

• re-assessment of plant efficiency opportunities (including potential modifications to reduce auxiliary power consumption);

• assessment of opportunities to achieve best whole-of-portfolio value from maintenance expenditure; and

• inventory optimisation.

Stanwell has established an in-house project management office which is responsible for recording, prioritising, driving and reporting on transformation initiative progress.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The Board of Stanwell is committed to achieving the following financial and non-financial targets in 2016/17, consistent with the Shareholder Mandate. Please refer to Appendix E for definitions.

Shareholder key performance indicators The Shareholder Mandate has confirmed two financial measures for the business: Return on Gross Fixed Assets and Free Cash Flow Yield. These two financial measures are complementary and designed to incentivise cash returns in line with shareholder expectations. Return on Gross Fixed Assets measures operating returns generated from invested capital and is measured against a target of greater than Stanwell’s pre-tax cost of capital. Free Cash Flow Yield measures cash flow returns from that same invested capital base, with free cash flow defined as cash available for tax, interest, dividends and other financing cash flows payments. Free Cash Flow Yield is measured against targets calculated using forward looking projections.

APPENDIX C: WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL

Stanwell will present investment proposals to shareholding Ministers in accordance with the Cost of Capital Principles – Government Owned Corporations (CoCP). However, in addition a ‘Market Approach’ is used for the purposes of asset impairment testing and for evaluating proposals in a competitive market process. This ensures consistency with the practices of other market participants.

Details of Stanwell’s Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculations are provided below.

Methodology

The WACC figures have been calculated using the post tax nominal methodology which is of the form:

kd * (1-Tc) * (D/V) + ke * [(1-Tc) / (1-Tc(1-y))] * (E/V)

Where kd = cost of debt

ke = cost of equity

y = Gamma

V

D = Market value of debt as a proportion of the market value of equity and debt

V

E = Market value of equity as a proportion of the market value of equity and debt, (1-D/V)

Tc = Corporate Tax rate (30%)

Page 26: STATEMENT OF CORPORATE INTENT · 2017-09-20 · 2016/17 Statement of Corporate Intent. 1. Meeting or exceeding efficiency saving targets as detailed in the 2015/16 Mid- Year Review

Statement of Corporate Intent 2016/17 Commercial-in-Confidence 26

In February 2015, Stanwell engaged Ernst & Young (EY) to determine an appropriate cost of capital for its business. In February 2016, Stanwell performed a review of this calculation and determined that minor changes to the Market Approach input parameters had no impact on the resultant WACC. Therefore, the Market Approach WACC calculated in March 2015 has been retained for 2016/17. EY’s findings in respect to input parameters and the resultant WACC for Stanwell are shown in the ‘Market Approach’ column in the table above.

In carrying out its review, EY provided detailed consideration to the stabilising effect that the coal rebate revenue stream and vertical integration through retailing activities has on the Stanwell business compared to that of a typical merchant generator, and the appropriateness of certain parameters:

APPENDIX D: EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS PLAN

This Employment and Industrial Relations Plan applies to Stanwell and its subsidiary companies.

1. Employment and industrial relations philosophy and direction

Industrial relations strategy

Stanwell’s strategic focus for the short term is to capitalise on the forecast growth in electricity demand in Queensland, with a long-term strategy to be profitable and to ensure security of electricity supply as Queensland’s energy mix changes. In order to deliver on its short-term goals and to position the business for its long term future, Stanwell has structured its strategic approach around three key themes to: deliver innovative energy products; operate a flexible and competitive portfolio; and participate in renewable energy.

Enterprise agreements

Enterprise agreements remain the principal source of terms and conditions for employees. There are seven enterprise agreements currently operating at Stanwell. All enterprise agreements include productivity increases, incentive payments and effective training systems to ensure a focus on Stanwell’s strategic outcomes. All enterprise agreements have been approved by the Fair Work Commission.

Stanwell renegotiated its seven enterprise agreements in 2015. The new enterprise agreements and their expiry dates are described further below. The Swanbank Power Station enterprise agreement is to be renegotiated in 2016. Bargaining will occur within the context of Stanwell’s strategy and the Government’s wages policy.

Currently, Stanwell’s enterprise agreements provide for ‘no forced retrenchments’.

7. Superannuation

Stanwell contributes a minimum of 9.5 per cent of Ordinary Time Earnings in accordance with current Superannuation Guarantee legislation. Standard contribution rates into Defined Contribution funds may vary depending on underpinning employment contract arrangements and enterprise agreements. For employees covered under a Stanwell Alternative Employment Arrangement contract and legacy Tarong employees, the standard employer contribution is 10 per cent. For legacy Stanwell and CS Energy Swanbank employees who contribute 5 per cent, the employer contribution is 10 per cent. For legacy CS Energy Mica Creek employees who contribute 4 per cent, the employer contribution is 11 per cent.

Stanwell currently contributes 6 per cent for Energy Super Defined Benefit members where employees contribute 5 per cent. Any surplus from defined benefit funds that may arise from time to time remains within the fund. The company will continue to follow advice as received from actuarial reviews. The Final Average Salary for Defined Benefit members is averaged over the final year of service.

Stanwell will ensure that further increases in the minimum Superannuation Guarantee will be passed on to employees.

8. Consultation

Stanwell has undertaken consultation on this plan with employees, relevant unions, Shareholder and Structural Policy Division within Queensland Treasury and Trade, the Department of Energy and Water Supply and the Office of Industrial Relations.

The Employment and Industrial Relations Plan is supported by the relevant Government agencies.
