$x.xm $xm
Three Gas Swap arrangements were achieved. Both swaps were at lower volumes than anticipated:
Horizon Power (now xxxTJ, was xxxTJ), ($x.xm)
APA (now xxTJ, was xxxTJ)
The lower volumes do not significantly displace other gas volumes to have a financial impact for FYxx

Additional xTJ per day sale to BGC did not occur in Jan xx.
A successful sale to APA Buses of x.xTJ per day occurred commencing in Apr xx
Cumulative Impact $x.xm $x.xm
• A number of mitigation strategies are currently being implemented which are expected to improve the outlook for FYxx• Mitigation strategies are focussed on reducing market exposed generation by reducing total electricity generation and
increasing retail demand and are discussed in table below.
Gas Mitigation Summary
x.x Mitigation Strategies – Gas Book (ok)Swap Arrangements XXX Corp is continues to explore opportunities to increase the flexibility in managing the gas
book. Two Gas Swap arrangements were negotiated:
1. A gas swap arrangement was of xxxTJ was forecast with XXXX Power. A gas swap arrangement has been successfully negotiate and as of Qx, only xxx TJ winter/summer swap is forecast to be achieved. Horizon Power to date has not taken any gas.
2. APA xxx TJ swap arrangement with FYxx gas during summer was negotiated. In December xxxx, APA took a gas swap of only xxTJ.
For Qx the combined impact of the two swap arrangements was expected to improve FYxx gross margin by $x.xxm. As a result of the lower volumes the EBITDA impact is considered negligible.
Increased Gas Sales XXX Corp was unsuccessful in acquiring x TJ per day sale to BGC ($x.xm). Offsetting the lost opportunity XXX Corp was successful acquiring APA Buses, a x.xTJ per day
customer which will contribute, $x.xm. The net impact acquisition against Qx forecast is, ($x.xm)
NWS Gas Swap Opportunity XXX Corp was successful negotiating with the NWS to reduce take or pay gas volumes in the
summer of FYxx by xx TJ a day with the gas to be received back in FYxx. The swap arrangement has improved flexibility in xxxx and assists in reducing the short gas
position that is forecast to arise towards the end of FYxx and forecast to improve FYxx gross margin by $x.xm.
