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

Company Announcement
29 May 2018

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.
