TRA – Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders
Once again, Turners has delivered a record year of results with an Operating Profit (net profit before tax) of $31.1
million, a 26% increase on last year, and Net Profit After Tax of $23.4 million, a 33% increase on FY17.
Based on the ongoing positive performance of the group, the Board declared a fully imputed final quarter
dividend of 5.0 cents per share taking the full year dividends to 15.5 cents per share.
The FY18 financial year was very much about integrating our businesses, after a period of sustained growth and
expansion. We’ve simplified our brands to allow for better marketing and promotion; merged our teams into
centralised locations; built common operating and funding platforms; and continued to improve our systems and
processes to ensure we operate as efficiently as possible.
Our integrated business model remains at the heart of our success, providing us with a myriad of advantages,
from the ability to offer an end to end customer journey and higher margin transactions in our controlled
channels, through to better customer relationships, diversification of earnings and a balanced mix of annuity and
transactional revenue.
We continued to build our investment into our nationwide network, with a number of new sites providing better
access and an improved experience for our customers. We also further strengthened and diversified our funding
platform, reducing our reliance on individual sources and our cost of funding, and providing headroom for
continued growth.
FY19 is about continuing to grow our market share by leveraging the strength and unique benefits of our
integrated business model, and offering more products and services to more customers across more channels.
We will still consider mergers and acquisitions where there is a strategic benefit, however, we see the majority of
our medium-term growth coming from within the group.
An essential ingredient in our success will be building on the “trust” kiwis have in the Turners brand, established
over more than 50 years of doing business in New Zealand.
The used vehicle market remains strong and the large number of end of life vehicles needing replacement
continues to grow. As automotive sales increase, so does the demand for automotive finance and insurance
products.
We remain a proudly New Zealand focused, owned and operated kiwi business. Our company is well funded,
has great brands and is well positioned to continue growing, cementing our unique position as an integrated
automotive group and delivering increasing value for our shareholders.
