Michael Fraser APA has pursued a consistent strategy for almost Chairman two-decades and that strategy has demonstrated its value to APA’s customers, Securityholders and business generally. APA has grown significantly over this time – $21 billion of assets owned and/or operated by APA; more than 1,800 employees operating and maintaining those assets; and over $1 billion in operating cash flow generated annually. For Securityholders, distributions have been reliable and have increased as the business has grown. Every dollar invested in APA when it listed in June 2000, has grown more than 22 times over those 19 years (1). Leadership A major contributor to that success has been APA’s long standing CEO and Managing Director, Mick McCormack, who retired in July after 14 years of leading the business. Mick’s foresight and his ‘get-the-job’ done attitude has been instrumental in cementing APA as a leading Australian energy infrastructure owner and operator. On behalf of FY2019 saw the continued all APA Securityholders and employees, I would like to delivery of APA’s largest ever acknowledge and thank Mick, and his family, for those 14 organic growth program – years of dedication to leading APA.

Personally, it has been a for years to come. great pleasure for me to have been involved in the launch of APA’s Customer Promise to our customers. During the financial year, APA’s Board underwent a number of changes. Russell Higgins AO and Patricia McKenzie retired from the Board and I thank them both for their significant contributions to APA, each over a number of years. We were fortunate to welcome James Fazzino to the $21 billion Board in February 2019. His extensive corporate experience Assets owned and/or operated by APA as a former Chief Executive Officer of one of Australia’s larger manufacturing companies exposed to the gas sector will complement the Board’s existing skills and capabilities. 1) Total Securityholder Return since listing to 30 June 2019 is calculated on the assumption that all distributions are reinvested at the ex-distribution date. 02 — APA GROUP — ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FY2019 in Review I Chairman’s Report I Managing Director’s Report I APA Board & Senior Management I Highlights I Australian Pipeline Trust I Directors’ Report I Remuneration Report Consolidated Financial Statements I APT Investment Trust I Directors’ Report I Consolidated Financial Statements I Additional Information I Five Year Summary I Investor Information Financial results Outlook APA’s financial performance for FY2019 was a very solid APA’s guidance for FY2020 is for EBITDA of between one, particularly in light of the fact that the organisation $1,660 million and $1,690 million and net interest costs of was subject to a takeover proposal from a CKI consortium between $505 million and $515 million.

Sustainability Following steps taken in FY2018, we have continued with our environment, social and governance (ESG) initiatives program with an emphasis on aligning our climate risk management with the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). APA accepts the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) assessment of climate change science that the Michael Fraser climate is changing due to human influence. We believe Chairman that climate change is a significant issue facing the energy industry and the Australian community in general. We also believe that natural gas and our diversified energy asset portfolio will overtime play an important role in the shift to a lower carbon, sustainable energy future. During FY2019, we undertook a scenario analysis using three divergent climate-driven scenarios to stress-test the resilience of APA over the 10 years to 2030. This analysis is detailed in APA’s Sustainability Report, but in summary, the Board expects that APA’s portfolio of assets will be economically and physically resilient to climate-related impacts under the scenarios tested over at least the next 10 years. We believe that it is our responsibility to provide consistent information to stakeholders, including our investors, on climate-related risks and opportunities and we will continue to actively monitor, assess and report on our findings. $1,574 million 47.0 cents EBITDA increased 3.6% on FY2018 Distribution per security increased 4.4% on FY2018 APA GROUP — ANNUAL REPORT 2019 — 03 FY2019 in Review I Chairman’s Report I Managing Director’s Report I APA Board & Senior Management I Highlights I Australian Pipeline Trust I Directors’ Report I Remuneration Report Consolidated Financial Statements I APT Investment Trust I Directors’ Report I Consolidated Financial Statements I Additional Information I Five Year Summary I Investor Information managing director’s report.

For me as an employee during that time and now taking over as CEO, safety and the wellbeing of our people and the communities around our assets, remains APA’s number one priority. Pleasingly, our increased efforts and focus in FY2019 have led to a significant reduction in injuries to our people.

  • Energy Transition Initiative Announcement
    Embargoed until 12.01am, Monday 27 July, 2020 Media release Industry heavyweights come together to forge pathways towards a decarbonised future Some of Australian industry’s biggest companies are supporting a new initiative that will see them work together to better understand pathways to achieving net zero emissions in supply chains. BHP, Woodside, BlueScope Steel, BP Australia, Orica, APA Group and Australia Gas Infrastructure Group – which together represent 13.6 per cent of Australian industrial emissions – have signed on to the Australian Industry Energy Transitions Initiative. They are joined by National Australia Bank, Schneider Electric and Australian Super, who represent the broader system of investments, services, products and knowledge that will be key to supporting industry action towards net-zero supply chains. Independent, not-for-profit bodies ClimateWorks Australia and Climate-KIC Australia are conveners of the Australian Industry ETI, in collaboration with the Energy Transitions Commission. It has been developed with the generous support of philanthropic donations, company contributions and funding from the Australian Government, through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. It is supported by the Australian Industry Group and the Australian Industry Greenhouse Network, with research partners including CSIRO and the Rocky Mountain Institute. The initiative aims to set Australian industry up for a success in a decarbonised global economy, by harnessing industry knowledge to develop pathways and actions that can accelerate emissions reductions across whole supply chains – in sectors where abatement has traditionally faced structural challenges. Specifically, it will focus on opportunities across five supply chains which collectively contribute more than a quarter of Australia’s annual greenhouse gas emissions and generate exports worth around $160 billion.
