TURNERS DELIVERS 33% INCREASE IN PROFIT

TURNERS DELIVERS 33% INCREASE IN PROFIT AFTER YEAR OF INTEGRATION AND GROWTH
TRA Full Year Result for the 12 months ended 31 March 2018
Turners Automotive Group Limited (NZX/ASX:TRA) has delivered a strong 33% lift in net profit after tax
to $23.4m as it benefits from acquisitions and its integrated offering in the automotive sector.
A full year of contribution from strategic acquisitions helped to boost the result, with Turners moving to
focus on organic growth and synergy benefits after a period of sustained acquisition growth. Net profit
before tax was $31.1m, at the top end of earlier market guidance and represents a 26% increase on the
prior year. Guidance for FY19 has been set at $34m to $36m net profit before tax (a mid-point increase
of 13% on FY18).
Revenue was up 31% to $330.5m positively impacted by both the Buy Right Cars and Autosure
acquisitions, and the organic growth from Turners focus on retail and the growing finance book.
Shareholder equity as at 31 March 2018 was $214.3m (FY17: $171.7m) and reflects the $30m capital
raise in October 2017. The additional capital provides Turners with funding to support the continued
organic growth across the business as well as a ‘war chest’ for additional growth initiatives including
strategic acquisitions and property expansion.
Turners’ funding platform has recently been strengthened with the successful completion of a banking
syndication with ASB and BNZ replacing previous facilities held largely with BNZ. The new arrangement
significantly simplifies the debt structure, provides more funding headroom and further diversifies the
funding base of the group. Importantly the new structure will enable a higher proportion of cash from
operations to be directed into growth initiatives due to the shift from amortising debt to committed
longer term debt. The company is also in the process of re-negotiating pool parameters with BNZ on the
Securitisation Warehouse. “Both ASB and BNZ have been extremely supportive and have indicated
appetite to extend further credit as and when required to support Turners’ growth” said CEO Todd
Hunter. “We highly value the strong long term relationships we have had with both banks over many
years.”
Based on the ongoing positive performance of the group, the Board has declared a final quarter fully
imputed dividend of 5.0 cents per share, taking full year dividends to 15.5 cents per share, up from 14.5
cents in FY17. Directors have also adopted an enhanced dividend policy with an increase in the payout
ratio to 50% to 60% of NPAT.
Chairman of Turners, Mr Grant Baker, said: “We are pleased to deliver another year of record results
and increasing value for our shareholders. Kiwis love their cars – more than 1.1 million transactions took
place in the last year alone – and we expect the demand for second hand vehicles to continue, whether
that be today’s internal combustion engines or the electric vehicles of the future.
“Going forward, we will continue to build on the strength of our existing businesses, offering more
products and services to more customers across more channels. Our company is well funded and well

positioned to continue growing, cementing our unique position as an integrated automotive group and
delivering increasing value for our shareholders.”
The results to 31 March 2018 have been audited by Staples Rodway, who expect to give an unmodified
opinion on the financial statements.
Trading Performance
Turners operates an integrated business helping retail and wholesale customers across three divisions –
Automotive Retail, Finance and Insurance, and Debt Management Services. This provides a number of
advantages, from the ability to offer an end-to-end customer journey and higher margin transactions in
controlled channels, through to better customer relationships, diversification of earnings and a balanced
mix of annuity and transactional revenue.
This year, management have deliberately focused on integrating acquisitions and driving organic growth
after a period of sustained growth by acquisition. This integration included simplifying brands to allow
for better marketing and promotion; merging teams to improve collaboration; building common
operating and funding platforms; and continuing to improve systems and processes to ensure the
company operates as efficiently as possible in delivering a great customer experience.
The expansion and development of Turners property footprint is opening additional opportunities for
profit contribution. New sites are being targeted and a number of “retail reconfiguration” projects are
underway to support organic growth and drive improved retail experience. We have completed 2
significant projects (value circa $16m) in the last 12 months in Porirua and Wiri. We are also able to
improve insurance division returns by allocating a proportion of growing insurance reserves to support
the auto retail property expansion and assist in better utilisation of capital in the business.
Trends in the used vehicle market remained positive during FY18, despite some softening earlier in the
year during the elections and dealing with the Stink Bug and Takata Airbag Recall in the latter part of the
year. Year on year, sales were up across the industry for all used vehicle groups – cars, trucks &
machinery and damaged & end of life vehicles.
With a tight labour market and requirements for more resource Turners are working hard to make sure
they are an employer of choice and will continue to attract the right sort of people. We continue to
measure and focus on improving employee engagement, a commitment to ongoing workplace diversity,
building a culture of developing people and promote from within.
Automotive Retail (Turners Group and Buy Right Cars) is the largest contributor to the group,
generating 68% of revenue and 41% of operating profit. Revenue was $223.2m, up 16% on prior year,
while Operating Profit was $16.6m, an increase of 8%.
Turners Group has delivered another outstanding result with operating profit up 15% on prior year off
revenue growth of 10%. The ongoing transition from wholesale to higher margin retail customers
continues, with 70% of transactions now with retail customers (65% in FY17). These sales provide more
Company Announcement
29 May 2018
opportunities to sell finance and insurance contracts. In addition, the percentage of ‘owned’ vehicles –
those purchased and onsold by Turners – increased to 50% of transactions, up from 15% four years ago.
These retail sales also generate better margins and more lending opportunities.
Buy Right Cars had strong revenue growth up 34% from a full year contribution, however operating
profits were down 21%. Turners took over the management of Buy Right Cars in September 2017 from
the vendor, a year earlier than expected. We have had a new management team in place since
November 2017 and they are dealing competently with some legacy issues around aged inventory. The
earnout payment to the original owners has been adjusted accordingly and is working as intended. The
Board and management remain very confident about further growth prospects of the Buy Right Cars
business.
Today, the company is pleased to announce a new partnership with Auto Super Shoppe to provide
services, repairs and maintenance for vehicle owners. Auto Super Shoppes has a network of 83
workshops located right throughout New Zealand and are the ideal partner for the new Turners Service
offering. The service products will be rolled out through the Turners Cars branches over the next two
months, fulfilled through the Auto Super Shoppe network.
The Finance division delivered a 48% lift in revenue to $39.7m and a 16% increase in operating profit to
$11.7m. The finance book grew 39% to $239.0m. The primary focus for the year was amalgamating the
separate finance businesses under the Oxford Finance brand and establishing a single operating
platform. From H2 FY19, Turners Finance loans will be redirected into Oxford Finance in another step
towards deeper group integration.
Credit criteria continues to be tightened to position the business for the inevitable downward shift in
the credit cycle. There has been some arrears deterioration, most noticeably in the MTF non-recourse
book as this loan book seasons. The performance of the loans written by originators in the first 12
months have disappointed both MTF and ourselves. This has resulted in a tightening of the credit criteria
and change to the customer on-boarding process which has reduced loan volumes but significantly
improved the quality of new lending.
Insurance revenue grew almost 300% to $46.9m and operating profit increased by over 500% to $5.7m,
mainly due to the acquisition of Autosure in 2016 which provided a step change in the scale of the
business. As with finance, the focus has been on combining multiple businesses into one insurance
brand, Autosure. Significant progress has been made in integrating brands including moving to new
premises. Migrating to a new front end retail system will be the final step in this large integration
project and this will be completed in the latter part of FY19. We have also implemented a number of risk
and product pricing initiatives over the FY18 year to ensure we are pricing correctly for risk in a changing
market. The number of gross written policies and new policy sales continues to grow; and sales of
mechanical breakdown and motor vehicle insurance now exceed 5,300 policies per month.
Claims ratios were slightly higher than forecast at 70%, and we have a number of initiatives already in
place to bring this closer to 68% over the FY19 year. We continue to take a conservative approach to
Company Announcement
29 May 2018
building claims reserves over and above actual losses, in conjunction with close monitoring of risk
profiles and claims management.
The Debt Management business, EC Credit Control, continues to deliver consistent results with both
revenue of $18.7m and operating profit of $6.1m in line with last year. This is a strong performance
considering the reduced unredeemed voucher release of $433k (FY17 $1.1m). Debt load from New
Zealand corporate customers has been positive as have product sales to the New Zealand SME market.
There is still a big opportunity for the business in the Australian corporate market where sales efforts
are being targeted. EC Credit Control is benefitting from new Auto Dialler technology creating
efficiencies in their contact centre. The recently announced strategic partnership with IODM, an
Australian based online automated accounts receivable solution provider is still building momentum.
This partnership strengthens the overall product offering of EC Credit Control and the proposition to our
customer base by pushing us further into the accounts receivable process.
Outlook
Turners is focused on growing market share by leveraging the strength and unique benefits of its
integrated business model. The used vehicle market remains strong and the large number of cars
nearing ‘scrapping’ age continues to grow which is positive for underlying replacement demand in the
market and as automotive sales increase, so does the demand for automotive finance and insurance
products. Our recent consumer market research project confirmed Turners as having the most “trusted”
brand in the used car market and the brand that has the most awareness. We are strongly positioned to
attract customers to our ‘one stop shop’ service.
The company is well funded and has a strong platform in place to support continued growth. While
mergers and acquisitions will be considered where there is a strategic benefit, the majority of medium-
term growth will come from within the group. Directors and management are very focused on
continuing to drive shareholder value through growing underlying sustainable profits and improving
dividends to increase returns and value for shareholders.
Turners is expecting to deliver another year of strong growth in FY19, with Net Profit before Tax
expected to be between $34m and $36m.
