TRAFFIC AND REVENUE DATA - JUNE QUARTER 2016

Transurban has today released its June quarter 2016 traffic and revenue data.

For the June quarter, on a statutory basis, toll revenue1 increased by 17.4% to $500 million when compared to the prior corresponding period (pcp). Proportional toll revenue, which Transurban believes is the most accurate reflection of the portfolio's performance, increased by 17.5% from the pcp, to $513 million. Revenue growth for the period was favourably impacted by the Easter holiday period shifting from the June quarter in 2015 to the March quarter in 2016.

Network highlights for the period included:

Sydney
  • For the quarter, Sydney proportional toll revenue increased 13.4% to $204 million. Average daily traffic (ADT) increased 6.5% to 632,000 trips. The Easter holiday period is estimated to have had a 185 basis points favourable impact on traffic for the period.

  • Average workday traffic increased 5.5% and average weekend/public holiday traffic increased 8.2%.

  • Of total ADT, car traffic increased 6.1% and truck traffic increased 10.1% for the quarter.

  • Revenue on the M7 increased by 22.7% for the June quarter. This was in part due to the increase in the truck toll multiplier during the June quarter to 2.33 times the car toll. The multiplier will reach 3 times the car toll on 1 January 2017.

    Melbourne
  • For the quarter, Melbourne toll revenue increased 7.7% to $166 million. ADT increased 0.6% to 820,000 transactions. The Easter holiday period is estimated to have had a 135 basis points favourable impact on traffic for the period.

    1 At the financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2015, Transurban revised its definition of toll revenue to include all revenue from customers, specifically toll, service and fee revenue. Toll revenue for the June quarter is based on this definition.
