EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

DELEGAT INTERIM REPORT 2017. EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

1

The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents
to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). The Directors continue to be of the

view that the results reported under NZ IFRS do not provide adequate insight into the Group’s

underlying operational performance, primarily due to a number of fair value adjustments that are

required to be reported on.

To better understand the operating performance, the Group has published an Operating

Performance report and reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit. This reconciliation

eliminates from each line in the Statement of Financial Performance all fair value adjustments.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

A record Operating NPAT of $24.7 million was generated compared to $21.1 million for the same

period the previous year. Operating EBIT of $41.4 million is $7.6 million higher than for the same

period the previous year.

Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $135.8 million on global case sales of 1,446,000 in the

six month period. Revenue is up $7.2 million on the same period last year due to a 14% increase

in global case sales, partially offset by the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange rate changes.

The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in table 2.

Operating Gross Margin is up 6% on the same period last year and is impacted by lower cost of

goods per case arising from the higher yielding 2016 vintage. Operating Expenses at $35.3 million

Notes:

1 Operating Revenue is before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if gains).

2 Operating Gross Profit is before the net fair value movements on biological produce (harvest adjustment) and the NZ IFRS adjustments excluded in Note 1.

3 Operating Expenses are before fair value movements on derivative instruments (if losses) and share-based payments.

4 Operating EBIT, EBITDA and NPAT are before any fair value adjustments.

are $2.9 million lower than the same period last year. This is due to the impact of a stronger
New Zealand currency on the translation of off-shore expenditure.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

In accordance with NZ IFRS the Group is required to account for certain of their assets at fair

value rather than at historic cost. All movements in these fair values are reflected in and impact the

Statement of Financial Performance. The Group records adjustments in respect of two significant

items at the half-year reporting date as detailed in table 3:

• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs

incurred, at harvest. Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for the

year, by creating a Harvest Provision. This Harvest Provision is then released through Cost of

Case Sales and

Sales when inventory is sold in subsequent years. The adjustment provides a write-down of $8.3

million (December 2015: $4.8 million);

• Derivative Instruments held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate exposure.

The mark-to-market movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in a fair value

write-up of $0.6 million (December 2015: $5.4 million).

These together with minor adjustments in respect of share-based payments, net of taxation, amount

to a write-down of $5.6 million (December 2015: write-up of $0.4 million).

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE

Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported unaudited financial

performance for the six months ended 31 December 2016 is reconciled to Operating Profit as

detailed in table 4.

CASH FLOW

The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $24.9 million in the current half-year, which

is an increase of $9.8 million on the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to higher

receipts from customers due to the higher case sales. A total of $23.0 million was invested in

additional property, plant and equipment during the period, including vineyard development in

New Zealand and the Barossa Valley, and development of the Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough

wineries, which will provide earnings growth into the years ahead. The Group distributed $12.1

million to shareholders in dividends. Additional borrowings of $10.3 million were drawn down to

fund the increased capital investment during the six months.

The Group has Net Debt of $292.0 million, compared to $282.7 million at 30 June 2016 – an

increase of 3% and well within the Group’s long-term bank debt facilities.

LOOKING FORWARD

The results achieved in the six months to December 2016 are testament to the strength of the

Group’s business model. Delegat Group is well positioned to pursue its strategic goal to build a

leading global Super Premium wine company. The Group is on target to achieve global case sales

for the full year of 2,632,000, up 9% on last year. The Group continues to face risks in the form

of exchange rate volatility, which makes it difficult to forecast financial performance. Based on

the prevailing exchange rates, the Group forecasts a 2017 operating profit result in line with last

year’s record performance.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires the Group to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and

liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and

various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these

estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in

the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group holds interest rate swaps at fair value through the statement of financial performance. In estimating the

fair value of the interest rate swaps the Group uses level 2 inputs of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Group’s

interest rate swaps fall into level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy because their fair value is determined using

inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly as

prices or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair values are derived through valuation techniques that maximise the

use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT IN FOREIGN OPERATION

For hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging

instrument is recognised in the statement of other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency

translation reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of financial performance.

On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative amount of any such gains or losses accumulated within equity

are transferred to the statement of financial performance.

Included in interest-bearing loans and borrowings at 31 December 2016 is a borrowing of A$29,350,000 which

during the period has been designated as a hedge of the net investment in Barossa Valley Estate Pty Limited (BVE).

This borrowing is being used to hedge the Group’s exposure to the AUD foreign exchange risk on this investment.

Gains or losses on the retranslation of this borrowing are transferred to the statement of other comprehensive income

to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investment in BVE. There is no ineffectiveness in the period

ended 31 December 2016.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, with the exception of the

adoption of Amendments to NZ IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment and NZ IAS 41: Agriculture on 1 July 2016

(see below). Refer to the published financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016 for a complete listing of the

Group accounting policies.

On 1 July 2016, the Group adopted Amendments to NZ IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment and NZ IAS 41: Agriculture.

Following implementation of these amendments, the Group’s bearer plants (vines) fall within the scope of NZ IAS 16 rather

than NZ IAS 41. Under NZ IAS 16, the Group has the ability to choose between the cost model and the revaluation model

for subsequent measurement and there is a requirement to depreciate the bearer plants over their estimated useful lives.

In accordance with the requirements of NZ IAS 8: Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors the

financial statements for the periods ended 30 June 2016 and 31 December 2015 have been restated and in accordance with

NZ IAS 34 a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the preceding period has been presented.

Under NZ IAS 16, the Group has chosen to adopt the cost model to value their bearer plants and has applied the

fully retrospective transition provisions. This means that all fair value increments previously recognised have been

reversed and the Group’s bearer plants depreciated from their original planting dates. The estimated useful life of

the Group’s bearer plants is 50 years. As shown in the table below, this has decreased the value of the Group’s bearer

plants which are now included in property, plant and equipment and decreased the Group’s deferred tax liability, with

a corresponding decrease in equity.

Under NZ IAS 41, at the half year reporting date the Group previously recognised a fair value increment on the

Group’s bearer plants, representing the value of the agricultural produce (grapes) attached to the bearer plants at

this date, and accordingly expensed the growing costs incurred during the period. Following the adoption of the

amendments above, the fair value of the agricultural produce (grapes) at the half year reporting date is determined

separately from the value of the bearer plants and included within inventory. The Group considers the growing costs

incurred for the period to be the best indicator of the fair value of agricultural produce at the half year reporting date.

NOTES TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which their

customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment performance

and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating Segments this

forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is the format adopted below:

– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure

which allows the company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into the

Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary companies

based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and Pacific Island

markets. Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited, and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and

assist in the marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions

and the Group considers there is no significant variation in revenues throughout the year.

The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis

in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitor the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource

allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss,

which may be measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment

reporting is based upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax balances

being recognised upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also intercompany stock margin

eliminations are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz, 90 Points, James Halliday


In recently awarding our

Barossa Valley Estate Shiraz 2014

with 90 Points, leading wine writer

and senior wine critic James Halliday

compared it to “a V8 turbo engine”

that “also knows how to quietly

mooch along for a Sunday drive...

there’s a surprising lightness of foot,

so pick your time and your speed.”

Moving praise indeed.
