Acknowledgment of Country Transurban acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands across Australia—in particular where we own and operate toll roads—and we pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. As caretakers and custodians of transportation in urban communities we have a deep respect for Indigenous communities and culture and seek to celebrate pride in Country through engagement with, and providing opportunities for, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We also celebrate connection to Country through artwork and design elements in our infrastructure. To achieve our purpose—to strengthen communities through transport—we will continue to foster positive and sustainable relationships with all communities, while progressing our efforts to contribute to Australia’s reconciliation journey.

traffic numbers for the full year were down slightly overall, declining by 0.5%. The key financial metrics of the period ended 30 June 2022 included a 5.7% increase in proportional toll revenue to $2,626 million and 3.5% growth in proportional EBITDA to $1,900 million. Free Cash inclusive of Capital Releases increased by 19.8%, which supported our full-year distribution of 41 cents per security. We were pleased to pay more than $1.2 billion in distributions to security holders during the year. The return of traffic to our roads once government restrictions lifted throughout the year reflects the value that our customers continue to see in terms of travel- time savings, reliability and safety in our assets, which are crucial transport corridors in areas where population, employment and economies are expected to grow. These are first-class assets and, along with our pipeline of developments and opportunities, we are confident in our ability to continue delivering value not only for investors, but for all our stakeholders. Our balance sheet is in a robust position, which can support near and longer-term growth opportunities. Combined with the positive trend in traffic performance and project delivery, we have a meaningful base for generating cash flow. Macro-economic environment While rising inflation is impacting economies globally, almost 70% of our roads have toll escalations of CPI or greater. This provides inflation protection in this environment. Our debt is also hedged to provide protection against near-term interest rate increases. Around 98% of our existing debt book is fully hedged and during FY22 we refinanced more than $3.4 billion of debt at better interest rates on average to give us lower exposure to current market rates and volatility. Listening to our stakeholders Over the past year, we embarked on an extensive exercise to test our understanding of our stakeholders’ views. We heard from more than 4,000 community members and 100 business partners. We interviewed investors, government partners and employees, and analysed thousands of pieces of customer feedback. This is something we do every few years to understand, anticipate and address what is important to our stakeholders so that we can confidently deliver on our strategy:
FY22 has again been a year of significant milestones for Transurban.
reached an agreement on revised project delivery terms, including a new completion date of late 2025. While the delay and additional cost has been disappointing, this project is critical for the efficient and safe movement of people and goods in Melbourne by providing an alternative to the often heavily congested West Gate Bridge, as well as adding more than 18 kilometres of new traffic lanes on the West Gate Freeway. It is expected to create more than 6,000 jobs and generate around $11 billion in economic benefits for the State of Victoria. It remains a financially attractive investment for Transurban and will be another valuable project for security holders for years to come. FY22 financial results While traffic was impacted by government restrictions particularly in our key markets of Sydney and Melbourne in the first half of FY22, we were pleased to see traffic volumes grow as the year progressed. In the final quarter of FY22, average daily traffic exceeded FY19 by 5.8%. Compared to FY21,
A major highlight was our acquisition, as part of the Sydney Transport Partners consortium, of the remaining 49% of WestConnex from the NSW Government to take Transurban’s total ownership interest to 50%. Once complete, WestConnex will form a 70 kilometre network, providing efficient and safer travel between industrial and freight hubs as well as catering for Sydney’s growing western suburbs. With close to 40 years 1 remaining on its concession life, cash flows generated from WestConnex will underpin distributions to our security holders for decades to come. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our security holders for their backing of the $4.2 billion equity raising in FY22, which underpinned the acquisition of this world-class asset, which is not only transformational for Sydney, but for Transurban as well. Another milestone was the start of tunnelling on our West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne after Transurban, the Victorian Government and the D&C subcontractor

Chair’s message This year’s Corporate Report
“By understanding what matters to our stakeholders, we create road transport solutions that make us a partner of choice”. These solutions come in many forms— from multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects such as extending our Express Lanes in the US to create faster and more efficient travel choices, to enhancing technologies and rewards programs for our customers and supporting community organisations. Safety plays a critical role in many of our transport solutions. Our efforts begin right from the outset of our asset design and span our business from operations to research and education programs such as improving child car seat safety. We track our on-road performance using a Road Injury Crash Index (RICI)—the number of serious injury crashes per 100 million vehicle kilometres travelled on our roads. In FY22, pleasingly we achieved a RICI of 3.78, 11% lower than our target RICI of no more than 4.25. Our solutions also respond to the urgent and very real need to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to minimise our environmental impacts. ESG initiatives During FY22, we continued to make significant progress on a number of Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives that reinforce our sustainable business practices as well as our commitment to reduce our GHG emissions. We have committed to net zero emissions by 2050 from our operations, supply chains and major project developments and have also set targets for significant reductions by 2030 (see page 37). Our transition to renewable energy sources in FY22 led to a 46% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the previous year and we are now sourcing two thirds of our electricity from renewable sources. While our customers’ GHG emissions are not formally within our control, we recognise their impact on the environment and continue to educate our customers about efficient driving to reduce GHG emissions and fuel use. Further, by choosing our roads over alternate stop-start routes, drivers can save an average of 27% in GHG emissions. 2 During the year, we also launched initiatives to encourage the take up of electric vehicles (EVs). This included a campaign to support Australia’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout by offering vaccinated customers the opportunity to win an EV.
The need for climate action was put sharply into focus this year with major flooding in Queensland and NSW. Natural disasters such as these highlight the importance of resilience in both our operations and the design and construction of our assets. We will continue to work to better understand the financial implications that climate change may present for our operations and assets. Our progress is reported in our FY22 Climate Change Disclosure , which is available on our website. Recognising that sustainability is part of everyday business for Transurban, this year we have integrated more of our previous standalone Sustainability Supplement into this report. This approach endeavours to present the most holistic view of our performance. Our approach to sustainability is guided by our ongoing commitment to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). We have identified the UN SDGs that are most relevant to our business, and we report annually on how we are contributing to these global goals. Our achievements for FY22 are available in our Insights hub on our website. FY23 outlook As the world continues to adapt the way in which they move about, and with domestic and international travel returning, we feel confident that customers will continue to see value in using our assets. In FY23, we also look forward to progressing our development projects, in particular in Sydney. Civil works are complete on the final stage of WestConnex—the M4-M5 Link—and the project is expected to open to traffic in 2023. Project developments such as this, position us well for growth in the coming year. The Board has also issued guidance that it expects the FY23 distribution to be 53.0 cps representing approximately 30% growth on FY22. This will be subject to the Group’s distribution policy (page 73), traffic performance and macroeconomic factors, and timing of distributions from subsidiaries. 3 While FY22 again presented uncertainties, the team at Transurban maintained its focus on delivering for all our stakeholders. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all employees for their hard work and dedication in achieving so many milestones during the year.
We also thank our security holders for your ongoing support of Transurban and commend this report to you as an excellent summary of our performance in FY22. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Board members as well as the broader Transurban team for their commitment and dedication to the ongoing success of Transurban. I look forward to speaking with you further at my final Transurban AGM on 20 October 2022. In that time, Transurban has realised many milestones from our entry into the Queensland market to the creation of 85 kilometres of Express Lanes in the US, to the successful partnership that acquired Sydney’s WestConnex network. Achievements such as these are the result of a talented and committed team that is steadfastly focused on creating long-term value for our investors and other stakeholder groups. marks my final as Chair of Transurban as I have announced my retirement at the conclusion of this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October. Transurban is an exceptional business and I am extremely proud of our achievements since joining the Board in 2008 and becoming Chair in 2010.

Thank you for reading Transurban’s FY22 Corporate Report. These pages explain both the structure of this report and our approach to integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) into the reporting frameworks that guide us. About this report
Scope and content Our FY22 Corporate Report provides an overview of Transurban’s operations and performance during the financial year (1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022). The report covers our financial and non-financial performance and details how we create value for our six key stakeholder groups: • investors • customers • communities • our people • business partners and suppliers • government and industry. Integrated approach Our reporting approach is guided by two initiatives that drive integrated, accessible, measurable, and comparable reporting: • Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) that establishes standardised sustainability impact reporting across industries and sectors • International Integrated Reporting Framework (IIRF) that provides a clear, concise and comparable format for integrated reporting across strategy, governance, performance and prospects. This report is also informed by recommendations from: the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD); the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB); and the UN SDGs.
Our approach to sustainability This year, we have integrated some of our Sustainability Supplement into this report. This approach provides additional information on our non-financial performance, including environmental, social and governance (ESG), and progress in achieving our Sustainability Strategy. Transurban’s Sustainability Strategy— centred around four pillars (people, planet, places and partnerships)—is aligned with the UN SGDs most relevant to us and our stakeholders, and is supported by objectives, targets and indicators. This strategy guides us in identifying, understanding and responding to social and environmental issues in support of Transurban’s purpose —to strengthen communities through transport. Our strategy helps us create real and lasting benefits for all our stakeholders. Responsibility for this strategy and its associated work program is embedded right across our business. Our specialist Sustainability team drives this process, including by providing strategic advice and reporting on progress, trends and emerging themes to our Board and Executive Committee. A standalone response to the TCFD and detailed sustainability data tables are available in our Insights Hub, insights.transurban.com
Compliance statement Our FY22 Corporate Report includes key disclosures under Australian legislation. Our Directors’ Report page 91 and Financial Statements page 120 have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Reporting what matters
Materiality review We have used both stakeholder feedback and reporting guidelines to determine the non-financial topics included in this report. Our business strategy—by understanding what matters to our stakeholders, we create road transport solutions that make us a partner of choice—is central to our reporting. Our stakeholder engagement activities, key issues identified and our responses to stakeholder issues are available on pages 12 to 13. Sustainability frameworks used include: GRI and SASB standards on pages 226 to 238; TCFD recommendations ; and UN SDGs .
Detailed risk management summaries are included on pages 85 to 88. Figure 1 summarises FY22’s highest- priority topics identified from the above materiality reviews, including how these topics address issues raised by various stakeholders and frameworks. The issues we have determined as the most material are generally covered within the relevant stakeholder section in this report. Topics deemed less significant are reported in the GRI Index (page 226).
For more than a decade, we have evaluated and prioritised topics that we believe are material to our business for inclusion in our reporting suite. A material issue is one that is significant for Transurban in terms of impact (actual or potential economic, environmental, and social impact) or influence (level of interest and potential to influence stakeholder decisions).

wider transport networks. And our efforts are paying off: external research has found our roads are twice as safe as like roads. 1 Our purpose is to strengthen communities through transport and we aim to achieve this in many different ways. From our 24/7 traffic control room operators to the transport planners who forecast where congestion hot spots could be in a decade’s time, we are focused on making travel easier now and in the future.

We have 6 million customers in Australia and 3.7 million customers in North America. During the past two decades we have established a strong track record of partnering with governments to successfully deliver and manage key road infrastructure.
