 KEY ASSUMPTIONS
 › Coal – 2H volumes higher with growth from new contracts, partly offset by increased maintenance and operating costs.
   Volume guidance remains 215 – 225mt for FY2019

 › Bulk – 2H EBIT impacted by cessation of Mt Gibson from January 2019, incremental impact from Cliffs and current
   weather conditions in North Queensland

 › Continued delivery of operational efficiency improvements

 › No major weather impacts

Key takeaways
Continue to deliver on promises, focus remains on executing against the strategic framework
to position Aurizon for long term earnings growth

                            Focus on shareholder returns – maintained payout ratio at 100% of underlying NPAT

                                   UT5 – Engagement continues with all stakeholders

                                       Operational efficiency to underpin long term value creation through continuous
                                       improvement in asset and labour efficiencies

                                        expectation - bargaining continues for remaining Queensland agreements
     in Action

                                       Bulk – turnaround progressing well, with growth now the focus. Expect EBIT growth over
                                       the medium term through operational improvements and volume growth

                                   Coal - Result in line with expectations. Investment in fleet for volume growth, securing the
                                   contract book and ongoing operational improvements to grow EBIT from FY2020 onwards

                            Intermodal – stemmed the losses with the closure of Interstate and sale of Queensland Intermodal
