Strong financials, more customers and lower emissions
GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED
Interim Report 2023
GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED
Chairman and Interim Chief Executive’s
joint letter
Tēnā koutou,
Genesis made great strides toward our
renewable energy ambitions in the first half of
the 2022-23 financial year. We also saw strong
retail growth, while delivering an excellent
financial performance.
The flexibility of our generation assets enabled
us to take advantage of a wet half year to
generate a record amount of electricity from our
hydro power stations. Conversely, we could turn
down Huntly to record lows, saving fuel costs
and around 470,000 tonnes of carbon emissions
over the six months.
EBITDAF was up 42% on the same period last
year to $298.3m, NPAT was up 72% to $145.3m,
and gross margin was up 28% to $454.9m.
The Board approved an interim dividend of 8.8
cents per share, continuing a steady increase in
dividends over the past eight and a half years,
while retaining capital for investment.
We acknowledge these results fall at a
challenging time for many New Zealanders,
with Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland floods
highlighting the need to accelerate
New Zealand’s decarbonisation.
It’s pleasing to see these strong results come
during a period when, off the back of strong
hydro inflows, we have been able to significantly
reduce our carbon emissions.
Future-gen in action
Genesis progressed our Future-gen strategy
to be an active enabler of New Zealand’s low
carbon future.
In February we joined our solar joint venture
partner, FRV Australia, in announcing we had
secured a fully consented, large scale solar site
near Lauriston on the Canterbury Plains. The site
is expected to start generating electricity in 2024.
Located one hour’s drive south of Christchurch,
the 90 hectare site will hold approximately
80,000 solar panels with a capacity of 52 MW
and generate around 80 GWh of renewable
electricity annually - enough to power nearly
10,000 homes.
Competition for solar sites is high so to secure
one that is fully consented and ready for
installation and commissioning is a strong start
to delivering on our ambition to develop up to
500 MW of solar over the next few years.
Lauriston is poised to be one of the first large
scale solar farms to reach operational stage in
New Zealand, and we look forward to making
more announcements on solar during 2023.

We successfully completed a biomass burn trial
at Huntly Power Station on 14 February. This was
a significant step in our search for alternative
fuel options for the plant which will remain a vital
back-up to the country’s increasingly renewable
generation system.
The week-long trial was completed when
two mills on one Rankine unit simultaneously
operated on biomass for the first time.
International experts involved in converting
coal-fuelled power stations to biomass were
on site, along with government officials and
key business leaders whose organisations face
similar challenges in decarbonising. Biomass
is seen internationally as a viable alternative to
fossil fuels, especially in manufacturing and some
industrial processes. Compared to some other
decarbonisation solutions, biomass conversion
could be implemented much sooner and with
broader cross-sector benefits.
We will analyse the findings from the trial over
the coming months, including the critical issue
of supply. There is currently no local source
of the pellets we need to make the move to
biomass feasible. We will look at how Genesis
and other businesses in a similar position might
provide the scale to support the establishment
of an economic, reliable and environmentally
sustainable local supply chain.

Our progress on Future-gen reflects the
recommendations of the report by the Boston
Consulting Group, The Future is Electric. We
commissioned the independent report with other
electricity sector participants to help provide
a roadmap to decarbonisation. BCG found the
2020s will be a critical decade for the electricity
sector and New Zealand’s transition to net zero
carbon. With decisive early action supported
by the right policy, regulatory environment and
market settings, the electricity system can, by
2030, transition to 98% renewables and kick start
electrification of overall energy demands such as
transport and industrial processes, reducing New
Zealand’s emissions by 8.7 Mt CO2 -e per year.
Genesis is proud to be at the forefront of
investing in this exciting and important transition,
however we remain concerned about the level of
investment in new transmission, distribution and
generation required to support the transition and
the potential for supply chain and RMA reform to
cause disruption and delays.
Maximising hydro to reduce
emissions
We continue to maximise the efficiency
and reliability of our existing assets through
significant outage work at our Waikaremoana,
Tongariro and Tekapo hydro schemes. They
ran hard this half-year, together achieving a
record 2,034 GWh of generation. This was 615
GWh more than HY22, providing enough extra
renewable power for 88,000 households. The
renewable share of our generation rose to 70% -
the first time we’ve gone above 62%.
In turn, Huntly output was reduced to a record
low of 873GWh. Reduced thermal burn resulted
in significantly reduced fuel costs and carbon
emissions savings of 470,000 tonnes between
July and December.
These results highlight the environmental and
financial value of our fuel diversity and thermal
plant flexibility.
Security of supply
Huntly Power Station provides an essential
service in backing up the electricity generated
by New Zealand’s highly renewable but weather
dependent system. Genesis has been working
hard to secure commercial arrangements that
adequately reward and recognise the value
Huntly provides to the market. Our traditional
supply contracts with other market participants,
called swaptions, ended in December 2022.
There was no appetite by any party to renew
swaptions, but in our view thermal generation
will still be required for some time to firm an
increasingly renewable market. In late 2022 we
offered to the market an alternative to swaptions
in the form of a new product we refer to as
Market Security Options (MSO’s). MSOs offer
participants an opportunity to manage risk
through a transparently priced product.
We continue to engage with participants and
regulators regarding the role Huntly plays in
security of supply.
Gas will play a critical role in the transition to
more renewable generation, and a reliable supply
is vital while the sector navigates the coming
decade. In February 2023 Genesis and our joint
venture partners NZ Oil & Gas, and the Kupe
field’s operator, Beach Energy, agreed to invest
in the development of a new well within the
existing permit area – KS9.
The well would allow extension of Kupe
production. This will provide fuel for back-up
electricity supply while New Zealand progresses
to a higher level of renewable energy, lessening
dependence on coal fired generation through the
transition.
Customer growth
Genesis enjoyed strong customer growth this
half year, gaining 10,273 customers to reach a
total of 481,285, an increase of 2.2%. Churn also
declined by 1% to 12% from the same period in
FY22.
Our Frank brand had a very successful first
year after rebranding from Energy Online in
November 2021, growing customer numbers
5.3% to 93,700 by December 2022.
After absorbing a range of cost increases
over the past two years, it became necessary
to pass some of them on to customers at the
start of 2023. We included the first stage of
the mandatory phase-out of the low user fixed
charge in these increases to simplify things for
customers. It is unfortunate these price increases
come during a time of other cost of living
challenges and in the aftermath of the severe
weather events, but our customer service team
is doing a great job of offering a range of options
to help weather-affected customers, and refer
people to Te Tira Manaaki o Kenehi – our special
care team for vulnerable customers – when
appropriate.
Along with other retailers and distributors, we
contributed to a $5 million power credits scheme
to support low-use households where residents
are struggling to pay their power bills during the
phase-out of the low fixed charge regulations
and have contributed to a fund run by the
Electricity Retailers’ Association (ERANZ) to help
New Zealanders in need with their power costs
in the wake of the weather events.
Following the success of our first Power Shout
Gifting campaign last year we ran an even more
successful campaign this half-year. Customers
were able to choose to either keep four free
hours, or gift them to a Kiwi in financial hardship.
In FY22 15,533 customers gifted 62,132 Power
Shout hours. Genesis contributed an additional
67,868 hours – providing a total of 130,000 hours.
This year, 46% more customers, 28,800, gifted
144,000 Power Shout hours. Genesis has topped
For example, we have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with Fonterra to work together on
exploring the viability of biomass as a substitute
for coal including the potential for a local supply
chain. Our agreement, initially for a period of two
years, will see us collaborate to share knowledge
and foster innovation. We will act with collective
responsibility for environmental sustainability
and undertake strong community engagement as
we explore the viability of biomass.
GENESIS ENERGY LIMITED
up this number by over 155,000 hours, making a
total of 300,000 to be gifted in winter 2023. Te
Tira Manaaki o Kenehi will work with budgeting
services to identify Genesis customers who
are struggling financially. Those customers will
receive bundles of free hours of power as the
colder months begin.
We are also turning our minds to how we can
make a greater impact in supporting customers
as a sector. In partnership with Mercury,
community organisations, and specialists in
this space we have been researching how
we can identify and support households who
haven’t been well served by the industry in the
past. We believe that we can make a greater
impact working together than independently
in some areas, and we aim for our research to
complement the Government’s work on this
important issue.
Supporting healthy homes
Trying to heat a poorly insulated house is
wasteful and costly, and Genesis appreciates
many families are struggling with cost-of-living
challenges that impact their ability to keep their
homes warm and healthy. To help address this,
we’ve entered a new and meaningful partnership
with Habitat for Humanity’s Northern branch to
ramp up that organisation’s positive impact.
Habitat’s Winter Warm Up Packs, containing
heaters, blankets and products to reduce
condensation and increase energy efficiency, are
delivered to families in need across Auckland and
Northland during winter by Habitat volunteers
and partner charities. In addition to helping
resource this work, we’re encouraging our staff
to use their paid volunteer days to help our new
partner. Genesis is proud to support Habitat’s
efforts to help families warm up their homes.
Energy roaming service a NZ first
A critical part of our purpose in empowering
New Zealand’s sustainable future is supporting
decarbonisation of one of the highest emitting
sectors – transport.
In a New Zealand first, Genesis launched an
‘energy roaming’ service for electric vehicle (EV)
drivers, making it cheaper and easier to charge
their electric vehicles when out and about.
Available on the country’s largest public charging
network, EVerywhere lets EV owners use
ChargeNet’s 280 hubs throughout New Zealand
for the same rate they pay at home. This can
save drivers up to 70% on the cost of charging,
eliminating the variability and uncertainty of
public charging rates.
EVerywhere is accessed through our Energy IQ
app, linking to a ChargeNet account. Drivers are
charged their home energy rate with the cost
added seamlessly to their power bill.
Genesis is passionate about encouraging
the transition to EVs and we embrace the
opportunity to think differently to resolve
challenges for EV owners and those considering
making the switch. It was rewarding to see our
in-house team take EVerywhere from initial
customer research through to the product’s
launch.
Looking ahead
In the past few months we’ve farewelled Director
Doug McKay from our Board, Chief Executive
Marc England and Chief People Officer Nic
Richardson, who have each set off to new roles
and endeavours. We thank each of them for their
contribution. In October we welcomed Warwick
Hunt to the Board. Warwick brings extensive
international leadership and governance
experience to Genesis, having worked in a
number of countries and in New Zealand over the
past 30 years across a range of sectors, including
energy.
On March 6 we welcome Malcolm Johns as
our new Chief Executive from his former role as
Chief Executive of Christchurch International
Airport, and in April our new Chief People
Officer, Claire Walker, joins us from Sky City
Entertainment Group. We look forward to the
energy and new ideas they will bring to the
company.
None of the achievements detailed in this letter
would have been possible without our people.
Those in the northern North Island weathered
the January floods and Cyclone Gabrielle
to maintain our operations and support our
customers despite many of them being impacted
themselves. Our thanks go to them and all our
Genesis teams across the country as we continue
to work towards a more sustainable future for
New Zealand.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
For the six months ended 31 December 2022
General information and significant matters
General information
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise Genesis Energy Limited
('Genesis'), its subsidiaries, controlled entities and the Group's interests in associates and joint
arrangements (together, the 'Group') for the six month period ended 31 December 2022.
Genesis is registered under the Companies Act 1993. It is a mixed ownership model company, majority
owned by the Crown, bound by the requirements of the Public Finance Act 1989. Genesis is listed
on the New Zealand Stock Exchange ('NZX') and the Australian Securities Exchange ('ASX') and has
bonds listed on the NZX debt market. Genesis is an FMC reporting entity under the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013.
The core business of the Group and activities carried out by each segment is disclosed in note A2.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
• Comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial
Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting;
• Do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements.
Consequently, they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related
notes included in Genesis Energy's Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022 ('2022 Annual
Report');
• Are presented in New Zealand dollars rounded to the nearest 100,000.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The basis of critical accounting estimates and judgements are the same as those disclosed in the 2022
Annual Report.
Seasonality of operations
Fluctuations in seasonal weather patterns can have a significant impact on supply and demand
and therefore the generation of electricity, which in turn can have a positive or negative impact on
reported results.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies set out in the 2022 Annual Report have been applied consistently to all periods
presented. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies or methods of computation
since 30 June 2022.
Amendment to NZ IFRS 9, NZ IAS 39 and NZ IFRS 7 - Interest rate benchmark reform
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks is being undertaken globally, including the
replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as
‘IBOR reform’). In the case of USD LIBOR, certain tenors will no longer be published after 30 June 2023.
As noted in the 2022 Annual Report, the IBOR reform only impacts the Group’s Cross Currency Interest
Rate Swaps ('CCIRS') that are linked to USD LIBOR. The Group manages interest rate risk on the fixed
rate United States Private Placement (‘USPP’) notes (notional value US$150.0 million) by swapping back
to floating rates, maturing in 2026 and 2027. As such, LIBOR is documented in hedge relationships for
CCIRS.
As at 31 December 2022, no hedging instruments or related hedged items have transitioned to alternative
risk-free rates. The Group has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (‘SOFR’) as a potential
alternative and expects to transition to this benchmark by 30 June 2023. The Group does not expect
the transition to SOFR to change the overall economics of the hedging transactions as there is no direct

The Group does not expect this to lead to discontinuation of hedge accounting relationships and
continues to work through the transition plan including actions required to update processes, systems
and documentation.

A. Financial performance
A1. Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings
Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings are performance measures used internally to provide
insight into the operating performance of the Group by adjusting for items that are outside
Management's control or items that relate to strategic rather than operational decisions. Items are
excluded from underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings when they meet the criteria outlined
in the Group's non-GAAP financial information policy (refer to www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/
governance/documents for a copy of the policy). These measures are considered to be non-GAAP
performance measures. They should not be viewed in isolation nor considered a substitute for
measures reported in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards ('NZ IFRS'). Underlying EBITDAF and underlying earnings are used by many companies;
however, because these measures are not defined by NZ IFRS they may not be uniformly defined or
calculated by all companies. Accordingly, these measures may not be comparable.
There were no differences between reported EBITDAF and underlying EBITDAF.

Property, plant and equipment includes $89.7 million of leased assets (30 June 2022: $65.8 million).
Generation assets
Generation assets were revalued at 31 December 2022 to $3,897.5 million (30 June 2022: $3,531.2
million) resulting in a net gain on revaluation of $433.3 million (30 June 2022: $353.7 million). The
revaluation gain was principally driven by an increase in wholesale electricity prices and delays in
future build assumptions, partially offset by higher fuel costs and an increase in the Weighted Average
Cost of Capital assumptions. The revaluation decrease recognised in the income statement reflects a
small valuation decrease for Huntly Rankine units.
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model prepared by Management, calculated by
generating scheme, except for the Huntly site where it is calculated by type of unit (Rankine units,
unit 5 and unit 6). As the key inputs into the valuation are based on unobservable market data, the
valuation is classified as level three in the fair value hierarchy. It requires significant judgement, and
therefore there is a range of reasonably possible assumptions that could be used in estimating the fair
value. Refer to the 2022 Annual Report for an overview of the fair value hierarchy.

Key estimates and judgements
Wholesale electricity price path
The wholesale electricity price path is the key
driver of changes in the valuation. The price
path is an average of the internally generated
price path and price paths published by two
independent third parties, and as a result reflects
the uncertainty surrounding Tiwai Point smelter
operating beyond 2024 and the impact of the
New Zealand Government's climate change
policy, both of which could have an impact on
future prices.
Internally generated price path
The internally generated price path assumes
wholesale electricity demand will continue to
grow based on the latest available industry
analysis and Genesis' view of future economic
growth. As the internally generated price
path is underpinned by 83 years of historical
hydrological inflow data, the impact of climate
change on hydrology over this period has been
reflected in the internally generated price path.
New and retiring generation plant assumptions
are based on publicly available information and
Genesis' view on wholesale electricity prices
required to support the plant. The internally
generated price path assumes that Tiwai Point
smelter will continue to operate beyond 2024.
Price paths published by independent third
parties
Independent third party price path assumptions
on the future of Tiwai Point smelter range from
Tiwai Point smelter exiting in 2025 through to
operating beyond 2025 or the generation load
consumed by Tiwai Point smelter being replaced
by other major industrial loads beyond 2025.
However, consensus is now shifting towards
Tiwai Point remaining open which is reflected in
the 2025 ASX energy futures pricing.

Generation
volumes
In-house modelling of the wholesale electricity
market has been used to determine the
generation volumes required to meet energy
demand both on a wholesale market and asset
level basis. The generation volumes used in the
valuation range between 2,692 GWh and 6,724
GWh per annum. The low end of the range is
where there is no thermal generation.

Other key assumptions
The valuation also includes assumptions around market fuel and electricity supply and demand. Our
longer term demand assumption increases from industrial electrification and electric vehicle fleet
growth in response to climate change. Changes in these interrelated factors will impact the wholesale
electricity price path and generation volumes. These factors are reviewed for reasonableness by senior
management personnel who are responsible for the price path used by the business.

by, the specific asset. Since 30 June 2022 the only change to the estimated remaining reserves
disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report was in relation to actual production for the six months ended 31
December 2022 of 12.6 PJe. The estimated remaining reserves balance as at 31 December 2022 was
196.0 PJe for proved reserves (1P) and 237.8 PJe for proved and probable reserves (2P) (30 June 2022:
208.6 PJe and 250.4 PJe respectively).

Emission units held for trading
Emission units held for trading are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognised
in the income statement within other gains (losses). The fair value is determined using CommTrade's
forward curve. As the fair value is calculated using inputs that are not quoted prices, the units are
classified as level two in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to the 2022 Annual Report for an overview of

The undrawn facilities ensure the Group will have sufficient funds to meet its liabilities when due,
under both normal and stressed conditions.
Level two - Fair value calculation
The valuation of the term loan facility and the wholesale term notes is based on estimated discounted
cash flow analyses, using applicable market yield curves adjusted for the Group's credit rating. The
credit-adjusted market yield curves used in the valuation at the reporting date ranged from 5.0 per
cent to 6.3 per cent (30 June 2022: 2.8 per cent to 5.3 per cent).
The valuation of USPP is based on estimated discounted cash flow analyses, using applicable United
States market yield curves adjusted for the Group's credit rating. The credit-adjusted market yield
used in the valuation at the reporting date was 4.8 per cent (30 June 2022: 3.8 per cent).

Valuation of electricity swaps and options and PPAs
The valuation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The key inputs and assumptions are: the
callable volumes, strike price and option fees outlined in the agreement, the wholesale electricity
price path ('price path'), the probability of the underlying plant construction proceeding, the
most likely operations commencement date, 'day one' gains and losses and the discount rate. The
options are deemed to be called when the price path is higher than the strike prices after taking into
account obligations relating to the specific terms of each contract. The price path is the significant
unobservable input in the valuation model. Refer to B1 for information in relation to the method and
judgements used to determine the price path.

E3. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
Generation assets disclosed in note B1, emission units held for trading disclosed in note C2 and
derivatives disclosed in note E1 are the only assets and liabilities carried at fair value in the balance
sheet. The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorised into one of three levels.
The levels are outlined in the 2022 Annual Report.
The Group's policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels at the date the
change in circumstances occurred. There were no transfers between levels one, two and three during
the period (31 December 2021: nil).
Valuation of level two derivatives
The fair values of level two derivatives are determined using discounted cash flow models. The key
inputs in the valuation models are the same as those disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.
Valuation of level three derivatives
Valuation method and process
The method and process used to value level three derivatives is consistent with that disclosed in the
2022 Annual Report.
Level two and three derivatives carried at fair value
All derivatives disclosed in E1 other than electricity swaps and options and PPAs are considered level
two. The $100.7 million electricity swaps and options and PPAs net asset comprises a $1.1 million asset
classified as level two and a $99.6 million asset classified as level three (30 June 2022: $2.2 million
asset and $6.3 million liability respectively).

The change in fair value of financial instruments includes an unrealised net gain of $69.0 million
(30 June 2022: $136.2 million gain) that is attributable to financial instruments held at
31 December 2022.
Deferred 'day one' gains (losses)
There is a presumption that when derivative contracts are entered into on an arm's length basis, and
no payment is received or paid on day one, the fair value at inception would be nil. The contract price
of non-exchange traded electricity derivative contracts and PPAs are agreed on a bilateral basis, the
pricing for which may differ from the prevailing derived market price for a variety of reasons. In these
circumstances an adjustment is made to bring the initial fair value of the contract to zero at inception.
The adjustment is called a 'day one' gain (loss) and is deferred and amortised, based on expected
volumes over the term of the contract. The following table details the movements and amounts of
deferred 'day one' gains (losses) included in the fair value of level three electricity swaps and options

F. Other
F1. Related party transactions
The majority shareholder of Genesis is the Crown. The Group transacts with Crown-controlled and
related entities independently for the following goods and services: royalties, emission obligations,
scientific consultancy services, electricity transmission, postal services, rail services and energy-
related products (including electricity derivatives).
During the period the Crown received $47.9 million in dividends (31 December 2021: $47.0 million) of
which $37.5 million was paid in cash (31 December 2021: $47.0 million) and $10.4 million was paid in
shares (31 December 2021: nil). The Group is also subject to the Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) which
requires the Group to acquire and surrender emission units either directly to the Crown or to third
parties who ultimately remit the units to the Crown. Refer to note A2 for information on the amount
expensed in relation to the ETS. The amount payable in relation to ETS at 31 December 2022 was $83.4
million (30 June 2022: $53.2 million). There were no other individually significant transactions with the
Crown during the period (31 December 2021: nil).
The Group has three significant electricity swap contracts with Meridian Energy, a Crown-controlled
entity. The electricity swap contracts profile and period vary between the range of 12.5MW and
25MW, from the period 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2025. Additionally, the Group has two
significant power purchase agreements with Mercury NZ, a Crown-controlled entity. The agreements
are for variable volumes based on the production of the related site, with the latest expiry date
expecting to be August 2045.
Other transactions with Crown-controlled and related entities, which are collectively but not
individually significant, relate to the sale of electricity derivatives. Approximately 21.9 per cent of
the value of electricity derivative assets and approximately 25.1 per cent of the value of electricity
derivative liabilities held at the reporting date were held with Crown-controlled and related entities
(30 June 2022: 25.7 per cent and 38.2 per cent respectively). The contracts expire at various times; the
latest expiry date is expected to be August 2045.
F2. Commitments
As at 31 December 2022 the Group had $49.2 million of capital commitments (30 June 2022: $22.1
million).
F3. Contingent assets and liabilities
No new contingent assets or liabilities have arisen since 30 June 2022 and there has been no change
in the contingent liabilities disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.
F4. Subsequent events
The following events occurred subsequent to the reporting date:
• $93.1 million of dividends were declared on 24 February 2023 (refer to note D3);
• Genesis, together with the Kupe Joint Venture parties NZ Oil & Gas and Beach Energy, have
committed to invest in a development well within the existing permit area to access undeveloped
field reserves.

To The Shareholders Of Genesis Energy Limited
Auditor General
The Auditor-General is the auditor of Genesis Energy Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (the
Group). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Bryce Henderson, using the staff and resources of
Deloitte Limited, to carry out the review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements
(‘interim financial statements’) of the Group on his behalf.
Conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of the Group on pages 6 to 20, which comprise
the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022, and the consolidated comprehensive income
statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement for the
six months ended on that date, and the notes including a summary of significant accounting policies
and other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim
financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months
ended on that date, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements
section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Auditor General’s ethical requirements
relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, which incorporate the relevant independence
requirements issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out other assignments for the Group in the areas of trustee reporting and
non-assurance services to the Corporate Taxpayer Group and general sustainability training.
These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.
In addition to these assignments, partners and employees of our firm deal with the Group on normal
terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the Group. Other than these assignments and
trading activities, we have no relationship with, or interests in the Group.
Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of
these interim financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS
34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary
to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.
NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes
us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting.
A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited
assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily
of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review
procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in
an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these
interim financial statements.

$214.7m $152.4m 41%
Genesis Energy (GNE) continued to grow in H1 FY23, with EBITDAF of $298 million. During the six-month
period customer numbers increased and carbon emissions declined.
The company delivered H1 EBITDAF of $298 million, an increase of 42% from $210 million in H1 FY22. The
revaluation of long-term contracts has resulted in a Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $145 million, a 72% increase
on the same period last year. Note NPAT includes changes in the forecast return on long-term electricity supply
contracts such as power purchase agreements for renewable generation. It does not represent realised cash
profit today.
Genesis was able to generate a record 2,034 GWh from its three hydro schemes, 43% more than H1 FY22.
Conversely, this reduced thermal generation at Huntly Power Station to record lows, significantly lowering fuel
costs and reducing carbon emissions from generation by 470,000 tonnes (a 52% reduction versus H1 FY22).
The Company declared an interim dividend of 8.80 cps. This represents continued value for shareholders while
retaining capability for future investment.
Interim Chief Executive Tracey Hickman said, “these results fall at an incredibly challenging time for many New
Zealanders, with Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland floods. Genesis continues to offer support to communities
and customers affected.”
Genesis enjoyed strong customer growth, gaining 10,273 customers to reach a total of 481,285, an increase of
2.2%. Residential churn also declined by 1ppt to 12% from the same period in FY22.
Genesis has progressed its strategic priorities, helping create a low-carbon future for New Zealand powered by
renewable energy. This work included a successful trial burn of biomass at Huntly Power Station and securing
the first site in its development of up to 500MW of grid scale solar generation.
EV Launch
In September Genesis launched EVerywhere, New Zealand’s first ‘energy roaming’ service for electric vehicle
(EV) drivers, making it cheaper and easier to charge their EVs on the road. EVerywhere enables customers to use
ChargeNet stations for the same price they pay to charge at home, saving up to 70% in on-road charging costs.

Earnings before net finance expenses, income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation, impairment, fair value changes
and other gains and losses. Refer to consolidated comprehensive income statement in the 2023 Interim Report for a
reconciliation from EBITDAF to Net Profit after tax.
2
Free Cash Flow represents EBITDAF less cash tax paid, net interest costs and stay in business capital expenditure. Net
interest costs is interest and other finance charges paid, less interest received.
Biomass trial at Huntly
Genesis successfully completed a biomass burn trial at Huntly Power Station on 14 February, a significant step
in its search for alternative fuel options for the Company’s thermal plant at Huntly. Biomass is seen
internationally as a viable alternative to fossil fuels, in particular, in manufacturing and some industrial
processes.
Hickman commented, “Huntly will continue to be critical to the country’s electricity system looking ahead, and
the company is committed to explore more renewable fuel options to replace coal. Genesis has signed an
agreement with Fonterra to work together in exploring the viability of a sustainable local supply chain of
biomass. We’ll also collaborate with other industry partners as we attempt to reduce carbon emissions in our
respective sectors.”
Solar development update
In February Genesis and its solar joint venture partner, FRV Australia, announced it had secured a fully
consented, 90 hectare site near Lauriston on the Canterbury Plains. The site is expected to start generating
electricity in late 2024.The site will hold approximately 80,000 solar panels with a capacity of 52 MW and
generate around 80 GWh of renewable electricity annually - enough to power nearly 10,000 houses. First
generation is expected in late 2024.
“Lauriston is poised to be one of the first large scale solar farms to reach operational stage in New Zealand, and
it’s only the start,” said Hickman. “We are looking forward to making more announcements on solar during
2023.”
Malcom Johns to join as Chief Executive
As previously announced, Malcolm Johns will join Genesis Energy as Chief Executive on 6 March. Johns was
previously Chief Executive of Christchurch Airport.
Kupe Development Well
Genesis Energy has confirmed its investment into a well development programme at the Kupe gas field (KS-9)
pending Environment Protection Authority approval of consent applications lodged by operator Beach Energy.
Gas is expected to continue to play a role through the energy transition in providing both back-up generation
for dry periods and support for increased intermittent wind and solar generation. Without this additional gas,
it is expected that emissions would be higher due to a greater need for coal generation.
While there has been further interest from third parties in acquiring Genesis' stake in Kupe, valuations have
been considerably below value in use.
FY23 Guidance
FY23 EBITDAF guidance has been updated to around $515 million from around $500 million, subject to
hydrological conditions, gas availability, and any material adverse events or unforeseeable circumstances.
Guidance includes an allowance in operating costs relating to the implementation of the new sales, service, and
billing platform. This is subject to final vendor selection and implementation timeframes.
FY23 capex is expected to be around $80 million, excluding investment in the Kupe well development. Long-run
outlook for stay in business capital expenditure is $50 million to $70 million. Capex related to the Kupe
development well (KS-9) is around $75 million (split approximately $15 million in FY23 and the remainder in
FY24).

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
1S&P Global Ratings make a number of adjustments to Net Debt and EBITDAF for the purpose of calculating credit
metrics.The most significant of these is the 50% equity treatment attributed to the Capital Bonds. H1 FY23 is based
on Net Debt at 31 December 2022 and EBITAF guidance for FY23 of $515 million.
2Equal to fixed rate debt/net debt. For future years net debt assumed to be equal to December 2022
ADJUSTED NET DEBT/EBITDAF PROFILE

MOVEMENT IN ADJUSTED NET DEBT
•The strong performance enabled a debt reduction over the period,
with adjusted net debt declining by $45 million.
•Cash payments were made to build inventory and invest in
associates, primarily long term carbon offsets in forestry. Higher future
lease obligations were recognised during the period.
•The strong EBITDAF performance meant that Net Debt/EBITDAF
ratio declined to 2.2.

Flexibility in volatile market conditions
•In H1 FY23 the wholesale market saw incredible volatility with prices fluctuating from
over $2,000/MWh to $0/MWh through the half.
•Genesis was able to respond to market conditions through the period, with monthly
generation volumes flexing by over 20%.
•Fuel portfolio flexibility was key to enabling this. During the periods of lower prices,
Genesis was able to allocate fuel to the highest value channel.
Market Security Options
•Genesis offered Market Security Option contracts to the market in August 2022.
These provided all wholesale market participants an opportunity to manage risk
through a transparently priced product.
•After strong initial interest, some contracts have been executed but significantly less
than the 250 MW under the Swaption arrangement.

•Genesis continued to exercise the flexibility of its thermal units in
H1 FY23 in response to the low spot prices seen from August onwards.
This enabled the portfolio to run short during overnight periods of low
prices.
•Unit 5 was regularly two-shifted where prices were favourable to
maximise our short position overnight as illustrated by the increased
number of starts during this period.
•After challenges in supply chain logistics in early 2022, plant availability
improved in H1 FY23. Global supply chains have since improved and are
not expected to delay current maintenance works.

Lauriston Solar Farm
•Genesislaunched a Joint Venture partnership with FRV Australia in February 2022.
The Joint Venture announced the first project of 52MW thatis expected to be
operational inlate 2024.
•The investment has land rights, resource consent and transmission agreements in
place, making it one of the most advanced large scale solar projects in the country.
•Lauriston provides:
•Good proximity to strong grid connection;
•Generation profile correlated well to local network demand;
•Flat and easily accessible site to enable straightforward construction.
•The Joint Venture will construct, own and operate the solar farm.Genesis will
purchase 100% of the generation for 10 years under a power purchase agreement.
•Genesis holds 60% interest in the joint venture, however, has the option to adjust
ownership level in specific projects. A 40% stake in Lauriston is anticipated and
project finance will be used.
•The Joint Venture has launched a procurement process for the EPC contracts. Final
project costings will be determined as part of this process and are estimated at
approximately $70 million.

•Inflationary pressures have increased costs of renewable development
and supply chain issues have delayed the timeline of some PPAs.
•In January 2023 Genesis lodged an application to extend consent for the
Castle Hill Wind Farm. The new application retains the best sites for

Huntly commenced

Final shipment arrives
•In February 2023 Genesis completed a technical viability trial using 100%
renewable biomass in the Huntly Rankine Units.The trial demonstrated that
the black pellets could be a drop-in replacement for coal.
•The trial utilised Canadian sourced advanced biomass. Global prices for
advanced biomass are similar to that of coal (inclusive of carbon) but costs
and the environmental impact of transportation make it unsuitable.
•Carbon emissions from biomass fuel are significantly less than coal.

•Genesis is partnering with Fonterra to explore the viability of a domestic
biomass industry. Other contributors are close to being finalised.

Kupe – supporting the transition
• Genesis and our joint venture partners have committed to
invest in a development within the existing permit area to
access undeveloped fuel reserves ("KS-9").The project is
subject to EPAapproval.
• Initial drilling is targeted for Q2 FY24 and a suitable rig has
been secured for this process. First gas is targeted in Q3
FY24.
• This continued supply will support Genesis as it transitions to
a highly renewable portfolio that will reduce the requirement
for coal. Without this development, emissions are expected to
be significantly higher.
• As a 46% owner, Genesis’ contribution to the development
willbe around $75 million (split approx.$15m in FY23 and
$60m in FY24)
• While there has been further interest from third parties in
acquiring Genesis' stake in Kupe, valuations have been
considerably below our value in use.
Guidance
28.
Guidance
FY23 EBITDAF has been updated to around $515millionfrom around $500 million,subject to
hydrological conditions, gas availability,and any material adverse events or unforeseeable
circumstances;
• Guidance includes an allowance in operating costs relating to the implementation of the
new sales,service and billing platform. This is subject to final vendor selection and
implementation timeframes.
FY23 capex is expected to be around $80 million, excluding investment in the Kupe well
development.
• Long-run outlook for stay in business capital expenditure is $50 million to $70 million.
• Capex related to the Kupe development well (KS-9) is around $75 million (split
approximately $15 million in FY23 and the remainder in FY24).
