EPS Increase of around 11% in both basic and diluted EPS

b. ADT growth of 3.1% and 2.6% in Sydney and Brisbane respectively
c. Little constrained growth by improved fee arrangements for customers
This success is backed by the following factors:

 Increasing strength of the Australian economy
 Linkt tolling brand introduced in July, 2018 improved customer choice and reduced
fees
 Introduction of new digital platforms for customers
 Execution of New Operations and Maintenance contracts
 Success in integration and operation of 2 mile extension to the southern end of the 95

 Incident response management on 35km of Melbourne’s road network
In the light of the above, it can be reasonably concluded that the company has been able to
multiply its revenues and profits, especially EBITDA on an exponential basis. A large portion
of this is attributable to its growth projects especially in Canada. However, a closer look at the

upcoming developments and monitoring concerns about its size becoming a competition issue
is suggested.
