NZX Announcements and EBITDAF Guidance

EBITDAF Guidance
Based on our EBITDAF forecast for FY25, we estimate the range to be between $3.0m - $5.5m.
While there are a number of factors that will determine whether FID occurs or not, for the purposes of providing guidance, the range is based on the assumption that FID occurs sometime in Q2 2025. The range also allows for the scenario where FID is not reached.
The FY25 EBITDAF guidance range is based on an annual production level of between 75 GWh to 106 GWh (depending on the exact date of FID), which is a higher confidence estimate based on a blend of annual averages.
The Company is 100% hedged for FY2025 and 100% hedged through to Final Investment Decision if this is delayed into FY26 (but no later than September 2025).
The net electricity price for FY2025 is estimated at $116.07 per MWh. This is a blend of VVFPA prices adjusted for location and intermittency factors and weighted by monthly production estimates and hedge ratios. EBITDAF guidance is provided on the basis of information available at this time, and may be subject to variations,
including climatic and other conditions outside the Company’s control. Forward electricity generation is based on a mix of recent annual averages adjusted for relevant factors. However, wind generation is inherently variable from one year to the next

Dividend Policy and Dividends
Dividend Policy
The Company's dividend policy can be accessed here.
Dividends have been paused since 28 February 2023. Link to NZX announcement 28 Feb 2023
Link to latest NZX Announcement on Dividends - 27 February 2024
The Board continues to review the Company’s Dividend Policy as it assesses future capital requirements to transition from managing a single wind farm to developing a broader range of renewable energy projects.
With the Repower Project's cost projected to be between $500m and $600m and expectations of project financing covering 65% to 75% of that amount, NZ Windfarms anticipates the need to raise additional equity of approximately $40m to $75m. Additionally, the company is exploring new development opportunities beyond Te Rere Hau.
Given these factors, and despite an improved FY2024 EBITDAF forecast, complete bank debt repayment, and funds from a recent placement and rights issue, the potential variability and scale of future capital needs are presently guiding the Board's decision-making process. The possibility of distributing dividends now, only to potentially seek further capital from shareholders later (should a positive Final Investment Decision occur), is deemed not in the best interest of enhancing shareholder value. Therefore, dividend distributions will continue to be suspended.
