Half Year Results Announcement
PGG Wrightson announces solid first half performance and
increase in full year net profit after tax forecast.
PGG Wrightson Ltd* (PGW) has announced today that at the half-year it remains on track to deliver its full-
year result in line with earlier guidance.
For the six-months ended 31 December 2016, PGW achieved Operating EBTIDA** of $26.0 million, down $5.0
million from the strong result in the corresponding period last year. Net profit after tax for the period was $16.0
million, broadly in line with the corresponding period last year.
PGW Chairman Alan Lai said, “The Board and I are pleased PGW is meeting its budgets through these
challenging trading conditions. As we foreshadowed, the lower confidence seen in the dairy sector through
calendar 2015 and the first half of 2016 has impacted earnings. In that context this is a very pleasing result
for the period given the market conditions.”
PGW’s Board declared an interim dividend of 1.75 cents per share, which will be paid to shareholders
registered at the record date of 10 March 2017. The dividend will be fully imputed and paid to shareholders
on 4 April 2017.
PGW Chief Executive Mark Dewdney said, “We expected the tougher trading environment would mean a dip
in earnings for the first half of the year. While there are some key trading months still ahead of us we remain
on track to deliver a full year Operating EBITDA in the $62 million to $68 million range as signalled in October
last year. In addition, we now expect full year net profit after tax to be higher than last year - in the range of
$46 million to $51 million. This increase is due to several non-operating gains we expect to realise in the
second half of the year, such as gains on property we plan to sell.
“We continue to operate well in New Zealand and across our other markets. This first half result was affected
by the continued caution of dairy farm spending across the New Zealand market - this caution has slowed
irrigation development which impacts our Water business. However we look toward the second half of the
financial year, which is traditionally the strongest trading period for us, with some optimism that we will see the
impact of improving sentiment in the dairy sector. In particular, the early signals are positive for re-grassing
and seed demand to pick up in the autumn.”
Commenting on the results, Mark Dewdney explained, “Low dairy prices, reduced production of both dairy and
red meat, tough wool trading conditions, and a wet start to spring led to cautious spending from New Zealand’s
farming customers during the six months to 31 December 2016. These trading conditions led to a 2% decline
in revenue. Despite this, net profit after tax remained broadly unchanged against the prior corresponding
period.

“...the really pleasing thing is that PGW has continued to perform
consistently through these demanding conditions. It is a credit to our people
and a positive indicator that reflects well on the value that we deliver to our
customers, whatever the market conditions.” MARK DEWDNEY, CEO
“We benefit from our diversified business portfolio. This half year our Water and Wool businesses had softer
earnings versus the corresponding period last year. Our New Zealand Seeds business was also back slightly,
but our other business units all performed at or better than the previous corresponding period.
“Retail increased Operating EBITDA by $2.0 million compared to the previous year. Margins also showed an
increase year-on-year. Despite some challenges with weather and competitor activity all three business areas:
Rural Supplies, Fruitfed and Agritrade contributed to the strong Retail result.
“Our Livestock business maintained last year’s Operating EBITDA for the first half despite tallies for all stock
and sales channels being down 1% on last year. This drop in activity is in line with the year-on-year drop in
national lamb and mutton kill.
“Seed and Grain’s Operating EBITDA was back on the same period last year by $1.7 million. While the South
American business had a promising start to the year and the Australian business delivered a steady
performance for the first six months, this was offset by a number of factors in the New Zealand market,
including a more cautious spend from our dairy and dairy-related clients.
“Our continued focus on cash flow means our balance sheet remains strong, with lower levels of working
capital and lower net interest bearing debt of $156.2m compared with our net interest bearing debt at
December 2015 of $167.4m.”
Looking ahead, Mark Dewdney said, “PGW is maintaining its 2017 full year Operating EBITDA guidance.
Overall, confidence in commodity markets is generally higher compared with recent years. As referenced
earlier, dairy prices have staged a welcome recovery over the last five months. Beef prices show some signs
of stabilising at good levels – down on the peaks of 2014 and 2015, admittedly, but still good by historic
standards. Sheep meat prices also seem to be stabilising. Horticulture continues to go from strength to
strength – as recently as December the Ministry for Primary Industries forecast that horticulture will maintain
around 5% export revenue growth per annum into the foreseeable future. We are also seeing encouraging
signs of recovery in Uruguay as they look to put the floods of 2016 behind them.
“On the other side of the ledger, international wool prices have fallen approximately 50% over the past six
months, with the consequence that we are seeing a reduction in bales sold.
“Overall, we expect trading conditions will improve for us for the remainder of this financial year. The really
pleasing thing is that PGW has continued to perform consistently through the demanding conditions. It is a
credit to our people and a positive indicator that reflects well on the value that we deliver to our customers,
whatever the market conditions. It’s been a while since we’ve felt the wind at our backs, and the early
indications for our 2018 financial year are looking encouraging. Our 2016 earnings were outstanding – I’m
confident that 2018 can be even better.”

**Disclosure Statement: Non-GAAP profit reporting measures:
PGW’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is “Net profit after tax”. PGW has used non-GAAP profit
measures when discussing financial performance in this document. The directors and management believe that these measures
provide useful information as they are used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and
to allocate resources. They also represent some of the performance measures required by PGW’s debt providers. For a more
comprehensive discussion on the use of non-GAAP profit measures, please refer to the policy “Non-GAAP Accounting Information”
available on our website (www.pggwrightson.co.nz).
Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP
profit measures reported in this document may not be comparable with those that other companies report and should not be viewed
in isolation or considered as a substitute for measures reported by PGW in accordance with NZ IFRS.
PGW’s definition of non-GAAP profit measures used in this document:
Operating EBITDA: Earnings before net interest and finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, the results from
discontinued operations, fair value adjustments and non-operating items.

The Company has a syndicated facility agreement which provides bank facilities of up to $176.00 million. The agreement contains various financial
covenants and restrictions that are standard for facilities of this nature, including maximum permissible ratios for debt leverage and operating
leverage. The Company has granted a general security deed and mortgage over all its wholly-owned New Zealand and Australian assets to a
security trust. These assets include the shares held in South American subsidiaries and equity accounted investees. ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
acts as security trustee for the banking syndicate (ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Bank of New Zealand and Westpac New Zealand Limited).
The Company’s bank syndicate facilities provide:
– A term debt facility of $116.00 million maturing on 1 August 2018.
– A working capital facility of up to $60.00 million maturing on 1 August 2018.
The syndicated facility agreement also allows the Group, subject to certain conditions, to enter into additional facilities outside of the Company
syndicated facility. The additional facilities are guaranteed by the security trust. These facilities amounted to $19.41 million as at 31 December 2016
providing:
– Overdraft facilities of $9.54 million.
– Guarantee and trade finance facilities of $6.53 million.
– Finance lease facilities of $3.34 million.
In addition, the bank financing of the Group’s South American operations is provided by Uruguayan-authorised banks. Two of the Group’s wholly-
owned Uruguayan subsidiaries (Wrightson Pas S.A. and Agrosan S.A.) are jointly and severally financed by a club structure. The club facilities
contain various financial covenants and restrictions that are standard for facilities of this nature. The club facilities are denominated in USD, secured
by a mortgage over the new Uruguay logistics centre and provide:
– An amortising logistics centre facility of $14.37 million (USD 10 million) maturing on 17 September 2022.
– A committed facility of $17.24 million (USD 12 million) maturing on 17 September 2018.
Separate to the club facility, the Group’s South American operations have various unsecured financing facilities that amounted to $20.13 million
(USD 14.00 million) as at 31 December 2016.

Investment in BioPacificVentures
In 2005 the Group committed $14.00 million to an international fund established for investment in food and agriculture life sciences. The
investment in BioPacificVentures has an anticipated total lifespan of 12 years. At 31 December 2016 $13.95 million has been drawn on the
committed level of investment (30 June 2016: $13.95 million, 31 December 2015: $13.95 million). A fair value gain of $0.50 million was recorded in
the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income for the BioPacifi
cVentures investment in the period to 31 December 2016 (30 June 2016: fair value
gain of $5.43 million, 31 December 2015: fair value gain of $4.86 million). In addition the Group received a capital return of $3.52 million from its
BioPacificVentures investment in the period to 31 December 2016 (30 June 2016: $9.68 million, 31 December 2015: $0.08 million).
Advances to equity accounted investees
This advance is a loan to the South American investee entity Fertimas S. A. Interest is payable on the balance and no provision for doubtful debts
was recorded against the loan as at 31 December 2016 (30 June 2016: nil, 31 December 2015: nil).
Sundry other investments including saleyards

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Acquisitions and disposals
During the period to 31 December 2016, the Group acquired assets with a cost of $4.26 million (30 June 2016: $30.75 million, 31 December 2015:
$22.41 million), together with assets acquired through business combinations of nil (30 June 2016: $0.23 million, 31 December 2015: $0.23 million).
Assets with a net book value of $10.08 million were disposed during the period to 31 December 2016 (30 June 2016: $19.88 million, 31 December
2015: $11.93 million), resulting in a gain on disposal of $1.10 million (30 June 2016 Gain: $4.99 million, 31 December 2015 Gain: $2.99 million).
8 SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
The Group is subject to significant seasonal fluctuations. The Retail business is weighted towards the first half of the financial year as demand for
New Zealand farming inputs are generally weighted towards the Spring season. Livestock and Seed & Grain activities are significantly weighted to
the second half of the financial year. Seed & Grain revenues reflect the fact the Group operates in geographical zones that suit Autumn harvesting
and sowing. New Zealand generally has spring calving and lambing and so Livestock trading is weighted towards the second half of the financial
year in order for farmers to maximize their incomes. Other business units have similar but less material cycles. The Group recognises that this
seasonality is the nature of the industry and plans and manages its business accordingly.

13 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO END OF INTERIM PERIOD
Assets held for sale
Subsequent to 31 December 2016 an unconditional sale agreement was entered into for one of the assets classified as held for sale. The sale is
expected to settle in February 2017 and will result in the disposal of property with a book value of $5.50 million. The Group expects to realise a
gain of approximately $5.00 million on the disposal of this asset.
Dividend
On 20 February 2017 the Directors of PGG Wrightson Limited resolved to pay an interim dividend of 1.75 cents per share on 4 April 2017 to
shareholders on the Company’s share register as at 5.00pm on 10 March 2017. This dividend will be fully imputed.
14 REPORTING ENTITY
PGG Wrightson Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New
Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is an FMC Entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The interim financial statements of PGG Wrightson Limited for the six months ended 31 December 2016 comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly controlled entities. Financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The Group is primarily involved in the provision of goods and services within the agricultural sector.
15 BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of Compliance
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). They
comply with the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) and other applicable Financial Reporting
Standards as applicable for profit oriented entities, and in particular NZ IAS 34. The interim financial statements comply with International Financial
Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as applicable for profit oriented entities.
The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements. The same accounting policies
and methods of computation are followed in the interim financial statements as applied in the Group’s latest annual audited financial statements.
These statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 20 February 2017.
Standards and Interpretations That Have Been Issued or Amended But Are Not Yet Effective
A number of new standards and interpretations are not yet effective for the period ended 31 December 2016 and have not been applied in
preparing these interim financial statements. None of these standards are expected to have a significant impact on these financial statements
except for:
– IFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments has been issued. The final component of IFRS 9 (2014) introduces a new expected credit loss model for
calculating impairment. IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group does not plan to adopt
IFRS 9 (2014) early and the extent of the impact has not yet been determined. The Group early adopted IFRS 9 (2013) from 1 January 2015. IFRS
9 (2013) provides amended general hedge accounting requirements.
– IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers has been issued. This standard introduced a new revenue recognition model for contracts
with customers. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Group does not plan to adopt IFRS 15
early and the extent of the impact has not yet been determined.
– IFRS 16 Leases has been issued. This standard eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases. The standard
uses a single lessee model which requires a lessee to recognise on the Statement of Financial Position assets and liabilities for all leases with a
term of more than 12 months. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The Group does not plan to
adopt IFRS 16 early and the extent of the impact has not yet been determined.
– A variety of minor improvements to standards have been made in order to clarify various treatments of specific transactions. These are not
expected to have an impact on the Group’s financial results.
