Page 14
14 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 14 Positioning for growth SCEE positioning for significant short, medium and long-term growth through exposure to structural tailwinds of data centres, infrastructure, energy and electrification Structural tailwinds forecast to have considerable longevity driven by AI development, general Australian population growth, and drive to net zero Guiding to at least 30% organic growth of profit in FY27 supported by entering period with record order book SCEE intends to maximise both organic growth and acquisitive growth SCEE does not anticipate material constraints in its ability to capture this growth: • Finance – following capital raising and expansion of finance facilities, SCEE well funded for working capital and executing acquisition transactions • Labour – SCEE is an employer of choice in the industry and will be able to access pools of labour from other parts of the economy if and when required. SCEE employs 250 apprentices • Inflation – inflationary impacts on materials and labour cost is captured in pricing and not absorbed by SCEE SCEE has identified a range of actionable acquisition targets offering: • Geographic diversification – Queensland, Victoria • Expanding existing disciplines within the group – fire, security • Adding new disciplines to the group – HV, powerlines, mechanical (HVAC) Index entries: • Entered MSCI Australia Small Cap Index in August 2026 • ASX300 and FTSE All World Small Cap Indices entry in September 2026 • Targeting ASX200 Index entry during FY27
Page 15
15 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 15 Multi-disciplinary offerings The existing and planned further diversification of the group enables SCEE to submit to clients multi-disciplinary offerings and access a larger share of project spend Overlapping client bases of SCEE businesses lead to sharing of market insights, business development co-ordination, and deeper relationships By maximizing these synergies and cross-selling opportunities our combined services offerings provide a competitive advantage Evidenced in recent awards in battery, data centre, and infrastructure projects where two or more SCEE businesses are involved either through separate packages with clients or where one SCEE business subcontracts work to other group companies The multi-disciplinary offering provides value to clients beyond the “sum of its parts” as SCEE can internally manage interfaces between disciplines so de-risking potential schedule and costs issues on projects
Page 16
16 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 16 Data centres SCEE businesses have worked on data centres for over twenty years, and the sector is in unprecedented growth. SCEE Group’s breadth and depth of client base and services offerings amongst the strongest in the Australian data centre market Australian data centre capacity is expected to double from current 1.6GW to 3.2GW by 2030 and potentially double again by 2035 (4.7GW-7.4GW) SCEE businesses have multi-layered relationships in the sector with both data centre developers and tier one builders In FY26 worked inside ten different data centres owned by six different hyperscale cloud providers providing variously electrical, communications, and fire services demonstrating SCEE’s broad spread across sector. Trivantage Manufacturing provided switchboards to two of those ten and then to a further four data centres Turned over $120m in data centre work in FY26 and forecasting this to triple in FY27 Anticipating data centre construction will shift to remote locations over time as power becomes constrained in Sydney and Melbourne. SCEE well positioned to compete for these projects combining its data centre and remote location delivery experience Data centres will be increasingly required to provide their own power opening further opportunities for SCEE with its experience in performing wind, solar, battery, and gas-power projects
Page 17
17 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 17 Infrastructure Infrastructure very wide sector across government and private investment. Apart from data centres, renewables, and energy, this sector also includes for SCEE transport (airports, rail, road, and ports), health and aged care, defence, education, agriculture, water, and utilities Strong infrastructure opportunities for SCEE include: • Western Sydney Airport - Stand Alone Facilities Project underway. Expecting ongoing works and further airport expansion • Aerotropolis/City of Bradfield - long-term pipeline with development of region which holds bulk of Greater Sydney’s new industrial-zoned land, particularly industrial warehousing construction for Force Fire and Heyday • Health care in NSW and ACT - Shellharbour Hospital, Heyday’s largest ever hospital award, in construction. Positioning around further major hospital developments presenting in medium-term • Sydney Metro – working on St Marys Station on airport line. High confidence of further projects on Sydney Metro West station developments • ACT – government buildings and school expansion programs

18 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 18 Renewables and electrification Australia’s energy transition requires investment in renewables, grid reconfiguration, and electrification of many activities by 2050 SCEE participates in this thematic having constructed multiple solar farms, wind farms, and Battery Energy Storage Systems: • Successfully completed in H1 FY26 Synergy’s 500MW/2,000MWh Collie BESS project which was over $250m of work for SCEE • Works commenced on Steel River East BESS on Ausgrid’s NSW network with multiple SCEE businesses contributing • Tendering for multiple renewables developments across Australia and anticipating further battery awards this year SCEE offers services across a huge range of electrification initiatives including: • Decarbonising client operations – such as refrigeration power efficiencies for supermarkets, store metering roll-outs, electric vehicle charging systems, lighting upgrades, and solar powered electrical equipment • Buildings – stricter building codes and client requirements will drive increased electrical density and complexity of buildings

26 Investor Roadshow Presentation September 26 26 Appendix 1 – IFRS reconciliation SCEE’s results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). SCEE discloses certain non-IFRS measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The non-IFRS measures should only be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA and EBIT are non-IFRS measures which do not have any standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be always be comparable to EBITDA and EBIT presented by other companies. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income tax, depreciation and amortisation. EBIT represents earnings before interest and income tax. Underlying EBITDA and Underlying EBIT represent EBITDA and EBIT excluding the impact of the WestConnex legal dispute costs respectively. A reconciliation of profit after tax to Underlying EBITDA and Underlying EBIT is presented in the table on this slide. (1) Employee benefits expenses, Occupancy expenses, Administration expenses and Other expenses from ordinary activities (2) Depreciation expense, Amortisation expense and Amortisation of customer contracts and relationships (3) WestConnex legal dispute costs were not material in the prior corresponding peroiod and were included in contract expenses (4) Finance income and Finance expenses FY26 FY25 $m $m Contract revenue 718.7 801.5 Contract expenses (582.0) (695.5) Gross Profit 136.7 105.9 Other income 1.4 1.7 Overheads (1) (61.1) (52.8) Underlying EBITDA 77.0 54.8 Depreciation and amortisation (2) (12.7) (8.9) Underlying EBIT 64.4 45.9 WestConnex legal dispute costs (3) (46.1) 0.0 Net finance income/(expense) (4) (7.0) (0.3) Profit before tax 11.3 45.6 Income tax expense (4.2) (14.0) Profit after tax 7.1 31.7
