Dear Shareholder
It is with great pleasure that we
provide you with the interim report
on our financial results for the six
months to 31 December 2017, which
has once again demonstrated the
benefits of a diverse portfolio
of Healthcare and Animal Care
businesses in Australia and
New Zealand.
The highlights of the six months
included:
• HPS fully transitioning into the
Group, further expanding our
leading position in the Institutional
Healthcare market;
• a strong performance from our key
Animal Care brand, Black Hawk,
including the launch of this brand
into the New Zealand market;
• acquiring a strategic 14.1%
shareholding in MedAdvisor Ltd,
Australia’s leading digital medication
management company;
• strong domestic sales growth in
our Red Seal consumer products
business; and
• excellent progress on our major
capital projects in Australia with
these projects remaining on-track
and budget.
The Group generated revenue for
the half-year of $3.9 billion, in line
with the same period last year.
Our reported earnings before net
finance costs, tax, depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA) increased by
15.6% to $138.5 million with Healthcare
up by 12.5% and Animal Care up
by 15.3%.
Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) increased
to $76.7 million, representing an
increase of 11.5% on the prior half-year.
Earnings per share increased by
11.0% to 50.4 cents.
The reported financial results were
positively impacted by the weaker
NZD/AUD exchange rate and, on a
constant currency basis, EBITDA
grew by 11.7% and NPAT grew by 7.8%.
INTERIM DIVIDEND INCREASE
Your Directors declared an interim
dividend of 33 cents per share,
an increase of 10% on the prior
corresponding period. The interim
dividend will be once again imputed
to 25% for New Zealand resident
shareholders and fully franked for
Australian resident shareholders.
The record date for the dividend
is 16 March 2018 and the dividend
will be paid on 6 April 2018.
HEALTHCARE
Our Healthcare businesses continued
to deliver strong EBITDA growth of
12.5%, which was assisted by a full six
month contribution from HPS which
was acquired in June 2017.

EBOS Group Limited | Interim Report 2018
In the Australian pharmacy market,
revenue growth (excluding hepatitis C
medicines and acquisitions) of +1.9%
was moderate due to the on-going
impact of PBS reforms. Sales in the
non-prescription over-the-counter
(OTC) channel were flat compared
to the prior corresponding period.
EBOS Group maintained its market
leading positions in both the Australian
and New Zealand Institutional
Healthcare markets delivering further
earnings growth. Total revenue declined
8.1% (constant currency basis) driven
by lower hepatitis C medicines sales.
Excluding sales of hepatitis C medicines
and acquisitions, underlying revenue
growth was +2.2%.
The New Zealand Healthcare operations
again delivered a solid performance
over the period with revenue increasing
5.1% and EBITDA increasing 7.5% with
growth across all NZ business units.
The Group’s Consumer Products division
recorded solid revenue growth (+7.7%
year on year), principally driven by Red
Seal’s strong domestic performance in
toothpastes, teas and supplements.
ANIMAL CARE
The Animal Care segment recorded
15.3% EBITDA growth (+11.7% constant
currency basis) for the period as the
business continues to benefit from
excellent growth in our branded
products, with first-half sales of Black
Hawk in Australia up 26% from last year.
Black Hawk today is Australia’s fastest
growing premium pet food brand with
a leading market position in the pet
specialty retail channel.
In another exciting development for the
business, Black Hawk was launched into
the New Zealand market in July 2017 and
has gained strong acceptance from both
specialty retailers and veterinary clinics.
INVESTMENT IN OPERATIONS
We are committed to investing in our
warehousing and distribution facilities
to better service our customers. Capital
expenditure for the period was $31.5
million, with $17.0 million spent on the
new highly automated distribution
facility in Brisbane, Queensland and
$4.5 million on the new contract
logistics facility in Sydney, New South
Wales. Additional capital expenditure
will be incurred in the second half on
these major projects, with total spend
on these two projects alone in FY18
estimated at $43 million.
OPERATING CASH FLOW, NET DEBT
AND RETURN ON CAPITAL EMPLOYED
Record first half operating cash flow
of $101.7 million was achieved and
is a significant increase on the prior
corresponding period (+$53.8 million).
The Group’s Net Debt/EBITDA ratio
at 31 December 2017 of 1.76x is in line
with the level recorded at June 2017.
Return on Capital Employed of 16.1%
was in line with the prior year.
OUTLOOK
EBOS Group has recorded a strong
start to the first half of the financial
year across both our Healthcare
and Animal Care segments.
We expect constant currency, underlying
EBITDA for the 2018 financial year to
grow by approximately 10% on the
prior year.
LEADERSHIP TRANSITION
As announced on 13 December 2017,
Patrick Davies has advised he is stepping
down as Group Chief Executive Officer
and will be succeeded by John Cullity,
currently the Chief Financial Officer
of the Group, effective 31 March 2018.
Patrick has made an outstanding
contribution to EBOS, and hands over
the leadership to John with the business
occupying enviable market positions,

of the Group under the leadership of

8. Financial Instruments
The Group enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge trading transactions, including anticipated transactions,
denominated in foreign currencies and uses interest rate swaps to manage cash flow interest rate risk.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their
fair value. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a
hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
The Group designates certain derivatives as cashflow hedges of highly probable forecast transactions.

Interest rate swaps(2,070)(4,022)(2,567)
(2,262)(4,154)(2,995)
The Group has categorised these derivatives, both financial assets and financial liabilities, as Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy contained
within NZ IFRS 13.
The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a discounted cashflow valuation. Key inputs include
observable forward exchange rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting value discounted back to present values.
Interest rate swaps are valued using a discounted cashflow valuation. Key inputs for the valuation of interest rate swaps are the estimated
future cash flows based on observable yield curves at the end of the reporting period, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of
the various counterparties.
There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for either foreign currency forward exchange contracts or interest rate swaps
during the current reporting period.
During the period, on 24 October 2017, the group acquired a 14.1% equity interest in Medadvisor Ltd (ASX:MDR) for $11.8m. This investment
has been classified as an available for sale financial instrument and has been valued using level 1 under the fair value hierarchy, therefore
using the listed share price to determine fair value at the reporting date.
There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during either the current or prior periods.

9. Acquisition Information
The Group acquired a 100% equity interest in Alchemy Holdings Pty Ltd in June 2017. Due to the timing of the acquisition the acquisition
accounting fair value adjustments were identified as being on a provisional basis in the Group’s 30 June 2017 financial statements.
During the current period, the acquisition accounting adjustments have been updated to reflect independent valuations performed on
the net assets recognised as part of the acquisition. As a result, the following adjustments have been recognised in the current period:
an increase in indefinite life intangible assets ($9.5m), a decrease in finite life intangible assets ($4.8m) and an increase in deferred tax
liabilities ($2.7m). Consequently the goodwill recognised on the acquisition has decreased by $2.0m to $128.3m.
10. Events after Balance Date
Subsequent to 31 December 2017, the Board approved an interim dividend to shareholders. For further details please refer to Note 4.
In January 2018, the Group entered into a new three year securitisation facility (A$400m) which expires in January 2021.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements of EBOS Group
Limited and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’)
which comprise the condensed consolidated
balance sheet as at 31 December 2017,
and the condensed consolidated income
statement, condensed consolidated statement
of comprehensive income, condensed
consolidated statement of changes in equity
and condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows for the six months ended on that
date, and a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information
on pages 10 to 25.
This report is made solely to the Group’s
shareholders, as a body. Our review has been
undertaken so that we might state to the
Group’s shareholders those matters we are
required to state to them in a review report
and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, we do not accept or assume
responsibility to anyone other than the Group’s
shareholders as a body, for our engagement,
for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS’
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board of Directors are responsible for
the preparation and fair presentation of the
condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, in accordance with NZ IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting and for such internal
control as the Board of Directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation and fair
presentation of the condensed consolidated
interim financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion
on the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with
NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the
Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410’). NZ SRE 2410 requires
us to conclude whether anything has come
to our attention that causes us to believe that
the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared,
in all material respects, in accordance with NZ
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting. As the auditor of
EBOS Group Limited, NZ SRE 2410 requires
that we comply with the ethical requirements
relevant to the audit of the annual financial
statements.
A review of the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements in accordance with NZ
SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement.
The auditor performs procedures, primarily
consisting of making enquiries, primarily
of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical
and other review procedures.
The procedures performed in a review are
substantially less than those performed
in an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing (New
Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an
audit opinion on those financial statements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor and
the provision of advisory services we have
no relationship with or interests in
EBOS Group Limited or its subsidiaries.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to
our attention that causes us to believe that
the condensed consolidated interim financial
statements of the Group do not present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position
of the Group as at 31 December 2017 and its
financial performance and cash flows for the
six months ended on that date in accordance
with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
