MEDIA | NZX RELEASE

TOURISM HOLDINGS LIMITED (thl)

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 30 JUNE 2018



“107% increase in NPAT, including one-off gain”


HIGHLIGHTS:

 Record NPAT result of $62.4M, up 107% on the prior corresponding period (pcp). Normalised for the

one-off gains NPAT was $37.5M, up 24%.

 Revenue of $426M, up 25% on the pcp.

 Fully imputed final dividend of 14cps, bringing the full year dividend to 27cps (partially imputed) - up

29% on the pcp.

 Net debt of $199M, versus $176M in the pcp.

 Return On Funds Employed (ROFE) of 18.1% (excluding El Monte and TH2).

 TH2 created - a digital joint venture business with Thor Industries.


thl today releases its results for the full year ending 30 June 2018. The result is yet another record

result for the company.

thl Chairman, Mr Rob Campbell, said, “this year we delivered another record result - a pre-one-off Net

Profit after Tax (NPAT) increase of 24%. The one-off gain of $24.3M, from the contribution of assets to

TH2, is recognition of value that was present in the business, but not recognised fully by the market;

however, we should also note it is a non-cash gain.”

“We are now embarking on a major step change. We are in the midst of reallocating financial and

intellectual capital to global growth. Our core values are unchanged and we respect our heritage, but

we are no longer simply a New Zealand story.”


“We intend making this transition while maintaining a positive income distribution policy, but the focus

is on global growth, which requires reinvestment, and there will be times of consolidation to create and

execute on the global platform. thl has substantive global opportunity in this context and this is the

next chapter in our story.”


“Dividends have increased again, with a year-end dividend of 14cps taking the total dividend to 27cps

for the full year. As with last year, the year-end dividend will be fully imputed. The average imputation

for the year was 76%.”

CEO, Mr Grant Webster, said, “in many ways this is a complex result with the one-off gains, USA tax

changes, the first full year of El Monte and exchange rate movement impacts. The EBIT improvement of

33% on the prior corresponding year represents a great growth rate; however, we still had








Page 2 of 2



opportunities and have an intense focus on addressing New Zealand vehicle sales shortfalls in the first

quarter of FY19.”

“The creation of TH2 would be the highlight of the year, given the potential of this business. We have

made the decision to invest in this business in FY19 to create an even better product and to develop the

market faster. We will invest around $15M NZD into the business (thl share).”

“The outlook for the FY19 result is difficult to determine, given the number of activities under way at

present. We will provide more guidance at the Annual Meeting in October.”

The Company has also released today, its second sustainability report - the first with some comparative

data and USA carbon calculations. Mr Webster said, “we are on a journey, improving every day. There

are several exciting projects detailed in the report including the electric RV trials, carbon reductions,

community engagement initiatives and more.”

The shareholder review, financial statements and a detailed investor presentation are all available on

the thl website.

About this report
Basis of preparation

The primary operations of Tourism Holdings Limited (the

‘Company’ or ‘Parent’ or ‘thl’) and its subsidiaries (together

the ‘Group’) are the manufacture, rental and sale of

motorhomes and other tourism related activities. The Parent

is domiciled in New Zealand. The registered office is Level 1,

83 Beach Road, Auckland 1010, New Zealand. Tourism Holdings

Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993

and is an FMC reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have

been prepared:

• in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

(GAAP), and comply with New Zealand equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS)

and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),

as applicable for a ‘for profit’ entity;

• in accordance with the requirements of Part 7 of the

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the NZX Main

Board Listing Rules;

• under the historical cost convention, as modified by the

revaluation of certain assets and liabilities as identified

in specific accounting policies; and

• in New Zealand dollars with values rounded to thousands

($000’s) unless otherwise stated.

Although at 30 June 2018 the Group had a net current asset

position of $1,205k, throughout most months during the

financial year, the Group has net current liabilities. The net

current liability position arises mainly from the revenue in

advance liability that reflects the collection of rental income

from customers prior to the month of travel. This liability is

recognised as revenue in future months and does not represent

a future outward cashflow.

Throughout this document, accounting policies and critical

accounting estimates are identified using the following key:

Key:

= Accounting policy

= Critical accounting estimate

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and

are based on historical experience and other factors, including

expectations of future events that are believed to be

reasonable under the circumstances.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity

with NZ IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting

estimates. It also requires management to exercise its

judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting

policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or

complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are

significant to the consolidated financial statements, are:

• Income tax (Page 15)

• Property, plant and equipment (depreciation rates and

residual values) (Page 19)

• Impairment of non-financial assets (investments in

associates and joint ventures, and goodwill arising from

business combinations) (Page 23).

Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Consolidation

The Group consolidates its subsidiaries, as these are the

entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls

an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to,

variable returns from its involvement with the entity and

has the ability to affect those returns through its power

over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the

date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are

deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains

on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

Unrealised losses are also eliminated but considered an

impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting

policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary

to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Information on the Group’s subsidiaries can be found in note 19.

b) Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the

Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the

primary economic environment in which the entity operates

(‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial

statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded to

the nearest thousand, which is the Company’s functional and

presentation currency.

Translation into presentation currency

The results and financial position of all the Group entities

(none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary

economy) that have a functional currency different from the

presentation currency are translated into the presentation

currency as follows:

08 thl Annual Financial Statements 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

About this report (continued)
(i) assets and liabilities for each statement of financial

position (‘balance sheet’) presented are translated

at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

(ii) income and expenses for each income statement are

translated at the average monthly exchange rates; and

(iii) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a

separate component of equity.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition

of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the

foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Transactions and balances in the functional currency

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional

currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the

transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from

the settlement of such transactions and from the translation

at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities

denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income

statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash

flow hedges.

Revenue recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the

ordinary course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of goods and services tax, agents’ commissions, rebates

and discounts and intergroup sales have been eliminated. Revenue is recognised as follows:

(i) Sales of services

Sale of services includes revenue from the rental of motorhomes (for the rentals operating segments) and the sale of

tourism experiences (for Kiwi Experience and Waitomo).

Sales of services are recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, by reference to completion

of the specific transaction. Where the sale of services covers a period of more than one day, the sale is assessed based

on the number of days of the booking that have occurred by year end as a proportion of the total number of days in

the booking. The portion of the revenue that occurs after year end is shown as Revenue in Advance on the statement

of financial position.

(ii) Sales of goods

Sale of goods includes revenue from the sale of motorhomes, accessories and retail merchandise (for the rentals

operating segments).

Sales of goods are recognised when a Group entity sells a product to the customer. Sales of motorhomes are recognised

when the transfer of risks and rewards takes place and are invoiced at that time. Sales of goods includes sale of rental

assets, trade-ins, new vehicles and accessories.

* Capital expenditure in 2017 does not include assets acquired as part of the El Monte RV acquisition (refer to note 11).

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating

decision-maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating

segments, has been identified as the executive management team together with the Board of Directors, who together make

strategic decisions.

Interest income and expenditure are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM.

Inter-segment transactions are entered into under normal commercial terms and conditions that would also be available

to unrelated third parties. All revenue is reported to the executive team on a basis consistent with that used in the income

statement.

Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories, receivables and operating cash.

They exclude investments and derivatives designated as hedges of borrowings as they are not allocated to segments. Net funds

employed are total assets less segment non-interest-bearing liabilities and cash on hand.

7. Income tax

The Group is subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. Significant judgement is required in determining the

worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax

determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax

audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters

is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax

provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

Current and deferred income tax

Income tax expenses comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax is the amount of income tax payable based on the taxable profit for the current year, plus any adjustments to

income tax payable in respect of prior years. Current tax is calculated using rates that have been enacted or substantially

enacted by balance date.

Deferred tax is the amount of income tax payable or recoverable in future periods in respect of temporary differences

and unused tax losses. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the

financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised

to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available, against which the deductible temporary differences

or tax losses can be utilised.

Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the

initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the

transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is recognised on taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except

where the company can control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference

will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset

is realised, using tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted by balance date.

Current tax and deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or

credited directly to equity, in which case the tax is classified within equity.

*As part of the TH2 investment in February 2018, the Group recognised a non-assessable gain of $24,322k on the contribution (refer to note 17).

In January 2018, the federal corporate tax rate in the United States was reduced from 35% to 21%. This change resulted in

a gain of USD$1.3M as at 30 June 2018 related to the re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Group’s US

subsidiaries for the year ended 30 June 2018.

As a result, the weighted average effective tax rate was reduced to 18% (2017: 31%).

thl Annual Financial Statements 2018 17

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

In this section
This section describes the assets thl uses in the business to generate profit, including:

• Property, plant and equipment

The most significant component is the motorhome fleet. Premises, in general, are leased, however significant owned properties

are the Waitomo Caves Visitor Centre, the Waitomo Caves Homestead and the Orlando Road Bear branch in the United States,

which was sold during the current year.

• Leased assets

The most significant leased assets relate to the premises in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.

• Inventory

The most significant inventory items are the ex-rental motorhome fleet assets that are held for sale. Other inventory items

include spare parts, living equipment used inside rental motorhomes, and retail stock.

• Intangible assets

Intangible assets include:

– goodwill arising from the purchase of the Road Bear, Kiwi Experience and El Monte businesses;

– the cost of the Waitomo Caves licences;

– software;

– brands; and

– trademarks.

11. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are made up of the following assets:

• Motorhomes – this comprises the rental fleet of the Rentals New Zealand, Rentals Australia and Rentals United States

businesses. Motorhomes that are held for sale are reclassified from property, plant and equipment to inventory

(as shown in the table below);

• Motor vehicles – this comprises vehicles owned by the business, including shuttles and company cars;

• Land and buildings – this comprises owned land and buildings in Waitomo and in the past has included the Orlando branch,

which was sold during the current year;

• Other plant and equipment – this comprises office equipment, furniture, and other plant used to operate the business; and

• Capital work in progress – this represents capital purchases and projects that are not yet in service. The most significant work

in progress relates to motorhome fleet built for the next season.

Land and buildings are shown at historical cost, less subsequent accumulated depreciation for buildings. Land is not

depreciated. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation.

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when

it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be

measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period

in which they are incurred.

Section B – Assets used to generate profit

18 thl Annual Financial Statements 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

11. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
The Group estimates the residual values of the fleet in order to depreciate motorhome assets using the straight-line

method. The Group has considered the appropriateness of the residual values and useful lives that have been used by

reviewing the gains/losses made on recent sales, and forecasts, of similar motorhomes. The estimated useful lives of

motorhomes on the rental fleet are 1- 6 years. This results in annual depreciation rates as a percentage of the original costs

of between 7% and 15% for motorhomes.

Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to

their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Buildings & leasehold improvements 10 - 40 years

Vehicles (non-fleet) 5 - 10 years

Other plant & equipment 3 - 20 years

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset’s carrying amount

is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated

recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in the

income statement.

13. Operating leases
The Group predominantly leases its premises in New Zealand, Australia and the United States under operating lease

arrangements. The leases have varying terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. The significant portion of the risks

and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor and, therefore, they are classified as operating leases. Payments

made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on

a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

The future aggregate minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

14. Inventories

Inventories are made up of the following categories:

• Raw materials – this comprises parts, factory and workshop stock;

• Rental assets for sale – this mainly comprises ex-rental fleet which are now on the sale yard and also includes new fleet and

trade-ins for sale;

• Finished goods – this comprises living equipment to be used in motorhomes and retail shop stock; and

• Inventory provision – a provision is created to allow for the value of inventory which is no longer useable or to recognise the net

realisable value when it is lower than cost.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)

method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises design costs, raw materials, direct labour, other direct

costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. Net realisable

value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Rental assets held for sale at balance date have been reclassified as inventory.

Intangible assets of the Group comprise:

• Brands – the brand value acquired relates to the Road Bear brand of the United States’ rentals business;

• Goodwill – this relates to the Kiwi Experience, Road Bear and El Monte RV business combinations;

• Trademarks, leases and licences – thl has a licence to operate the Waitomo Glowworm Caves until 2027, and licences to operate

other caves in the Waitomo region, with licence terms expiring in 2032, 2033 and 2039; and

• Other intangibles – this relates to acquired software licences and software development costs.

Brands

The Road Bear brand acquired in the United States rentals business combination was valued using the relief from royalty

method and is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. The brand value is included in the net assets of the cash

generating units. The brand is deemed to have an indefinite life as the Group has determined that there is no foreseeable

limit to the period over which the brand is expected to generate net cash in-flows for the entity. The brand is tested

annually for impairment and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the net identifiable

assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for

impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.

Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is considered to have an indefinite useful life. Based on an analysis of all the relevant factors, there is no

foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the entity.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those

cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in

which the goodwill arose. The Group allocates goodwill to each business segment in each country in which it operates.

Trademarks, leases and licences

Trademarks, leases and licences are shown at historical cost of acquisition by the Group less amortisation.

Amortisation of licences is calculated using the straight line method over the life of the various licences.

Other intangibles

Acquired computer software licences are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the

specific software. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three to five years).

Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that

are directly associated with the production of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group, and that

will probably generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct

costs include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Computer software development costs recognised as assets and are amortised over their estimated useful lives (three to

five years).

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group tests whether goodwill and brands have suffered any impairment on an annual basis, in accordance with

the accounting policy stated below. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on

value-in-use calculations below. These calculations require the use of estimates.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment.

Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in

circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the

amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of

an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at

the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units).

The recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is determined on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use free cash flow

projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five year period plus a terminal value calculation.

These annual free cash flows are then discounted by a country specific pre-tax discount rate to arrive at a net present value (or

enterprise value) which is compared to the carrying book value. In addition, carrying values are also assessed using alternative

valuation metrics, in particular EBIT multiples for similar industry groupings.

The divisional models used by Tourism Holdings Limited to generate the free cash flow projections incorporate the expected

growth rates from markets the businesses operate in, which are compared to Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment

(NZ) and United States Department of Commerce Office of Travel and Tourism Industries’ forecasts for reasonableness. Capital

expenditure and disposal proceeds are projected forward based on current build or purchase costs, realisable sale values and

expected fleet rotation by vehicle type (for the rentals operations). Costs and revenues are inflated by an expected inflation rate

of 2% unless additional specific information is known.

The calculated recoverable amount provides sufficient headroom over the carrying value such that it is considered that

a reasonable change in the assumptions applied will not result in an impairment of the goodwill balance.

Section C – Investments
In this section

thl’s investments comprise subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. This section explains the investments held by thl,

providing additional information, including:

a) Accounting policies, judgements and estimates that are relevant for measuring the investments; and

b) Analysis of thl’s associates and joint venture.

thl’s investments include a 50% interest in Action Manufacturing, a business that manufactures motorhomes for the

Group’s New Zealand and Australian business segments and other speciality vehicles for external customers; and a 50% joint

venture investment in TH2Connect LLC (TH2). TH2 provides digital services to RV owners and operators, and operates the

Mighway and Roadtrippers businesses. Other investments include a 49% interest in Just go, a motorhome rental operation in

the United Kingdom.

16. Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity

instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:

• fair values of the assets transferred

• liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business

• equity interests issued by the Group

• fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and

• fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the acquiree.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured

initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity

on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the

acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and acquisition-

date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets

acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the business

acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their

present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate

at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are

subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.

Acquisition of El Monte Rents Inc (2017 financial year)

On 20 December 2016 the Group signed a share purchase agreement relating to El Monte Rents Inc (El Monte RV). Under the

terms of the agreement, on 1 January 2017, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of El Monte RV. The Group obtained

control on this date. El Monte RV is a motorhome rental business in the United States.

From 1 January 2017 the operating results of El Monte RV had been included in the income statement. The proforma revenue

and operating profit before tax and financing cost of El Monte RV for the period 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016 was $40,018k

and $7,978k respectively. If the acquisition had occurred at 1 July 2016, Group consolidated proforma revenue and operating

profit before tax and financing costs for the period ended 30 June 2017 would have been $380,819k and $55,694k respectively.

Due to different approaches to fleet and capital management, proforma finance costs and income tax expense are not able

to be accurately estimated and are therefore not disclosed.

Goodwill arising on acquisition primarily represents market share acquired and synergies that are expected to be generated.

Goodwill is deductible under US tax legislation.

At the time of the acquisition certain funds were held in escrow until the sale of some of the fleet. The escrow conditions have

now been met and the funds have been released.

Net cash paid to acquire the business was $77,620k, being $78,511k of cash consideration less $891k of cash acquired with

the business.

Sale of the GeoZone business and investments in Roadtrippers (2017 financial year)

In the 2017 financial year, the Group acquired 23.0% of the issued equity of Roadtrippers Inc (Roadtrippers USA) and a 50% joint

venture investment in Roadtrippers Australasia Limited Partnership (Roadtrippers Australasia). Roadtrippers is an online trip

planning application. As part of the consideration for these investments, the Group sold the GeoZone business.

The Group sold the GeoZone intellectual property (software and data content) for $1.4M ($USD1M), and paid cash of $7.0M

($USD5M) as consideration for an investment of 23.0% of the issued equity of Roadtrippers USA.

Furthermore, the Group sold the remaining GeoZone assets and liabilities (the operating business including brand, trademarks

and revenue contracts) and paid cash as consideration for an investment in Roadtrippers Australasia. The other joint venture

partner is Roadtrippers USA. Roadtrippers USA sold a perpetual licence to the joint venture for the right to use the Roadtrippers

product in the Australian and New Zealand markets as consideration for its investment in the joint venture.

The above transactions resulted in the disposal of GeoZone and acquisition of equity interest in Roadtrippers USA and

Roadtrippers Australasia.

At this time the Group ceased to have control of the GeoZone business.

IFRS 10 contains guidance on how to account for changes in ownership of a subsidiary, including transactions with

non-controlling interests and transactions where control is gained or lost. IFRS 10 specifies that when control of a

subsidiary is lost, any retained interest should be remeasured to its fair value with any resulting gain or loss recognised

in profit and loss. As such, a gain or loss is recognised on the portion retained in addition to the gain or loss on the

portion no longer owned. The interaction between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 is currently unclear. IAS 28 indicates that when

non-monetary contributions are made to an associate or to a joint venture, a gain or loss is recognised in relation to the

portion no longer owned. As such, an entity has an accounting policy choice between IFRS 10 and IAS 28 and should apply

this choice consistently.

The Group has elected to account for the disposal of GeoZone and related investments in Roadtrippers in accordance

with IFRS 10.

The Group recognised a gain of $1,280k as a result of selling the business combination. The gain is included in other income in

The loss before tax attributable to the GeoZone business for the period ended 30 June 2017 was $231k (year ended 30 June

2016: $248k). As these amounts are not considered material to the Group profit before tax, the discontinued operations have not

been separately shown on the Consolidated income statement, Consolidated statement of comprehensive income, Consolidated

statement of changes in equity, Consolidated statement of financial position, or the Consolidated statement of cash flows.

In the 2018 financial year, the investments in Roadtrippers USA and Roadtrippers Australasia were contributed as part of thl’s

investment in TH2 (refer to note 17).

17. Joint ventures

TH2Connect LLC (TH2)

In February 2018, the Group entered into agreements to contribute its investment in Roadtrippers USA and Roadtrippers

Australasia, its Mighway business, the Cosmos rental and RV industry platform, certain other intangible assets and cash to form

a joint venture, TH2connect LLC (TH2), with Thor Industries, a motorhome manufacturer in the United States. Each partner

owns 50% of TH2. Due to the nature of the contractual rights and obligations, TH2 is classified as a joint venture for accounting

purposes and accounted for using the equity method.

TH2 provides digital services to RV owners and operators (Cosmos), and operates the Mighway and Roadtrippers businesses.

In return for the assets and liabilities contributed, thl received its investment in TH2. The fair value of the intangible assets that

were contributed to TH2 was supported by an independent third party valuation.

In accordance with IAS28, the Group has only recognised the gain on sale in relation to the portion of TH2 that is held by

Thor Industries and does not remain under ownership of thl. Accordingly, the Group recognised a gain of $24,322k before tax

and transaction costs, in relation to the transaction.

Net cash paid in March 2018 as part of the investment in TH2 was $4,051k. A further investment of $5,192k was made in June

2018. This investment was made to fund a planned tax payment that arose as part of the legal restructure of Roadtrippers Inc as

part of the TH2 transaction.

Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a

shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity

method of accounting and are initially recognised at cost. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or

losses is recognised in the income statement.

In December 2016, the Group acquired a shareholding of 23.0% of Roadtrippers USA (refer to note 16). The investment in

Roadtrippers USA was contributed to TH2 during the 2018 financial year as explained in note 17.

In March 2015, the Group acquired a shareholding of 49.0% in Skewbald Limited (trading as Just go) for GBP £1,744k. Just go

is a motorhome rental business operating in the United Kingdom. The investment has been accounted for as an investment in

associate, and the Group’s share of associates profits have been recognised with the Group’s investment.

The total authorised number of ordinary shares is 123,136,483 shares (2017: 120,254,543) and these are classified as equity.

The shares have no par value. All ordinary shares are issued and fully paid. All ordinary shares rank equally with one vote attached

to each fully paid ordinary share.

There are 2,358,828 redeemable ordinary shares on issue that are convertible on a 1:1 basis to ordinary shares (2017: 3,998,828).

If these convert to ordinary shares per the terms outlined in note 33, total shares on issue will be 125,495,311 (2017: 124,253,371).

In the current year redeemable ordinary shares were converted to ordinary shares in February 2018 (168,400), March 2018

(281,600) and April 2018 (1,190,000). There were no issues of redeemable ordinary shares in the current year, as the 2009

Executive Long Term Incentive Scheme was replaced with a new options scheme in 2017 (see note 33).

In the prior year 764,505 redeemable ordinary shares were converted to ordinary shares in April 2017.

Ordinary shares were issued to directors in lieu of Directors’ fees per the terms outlined in note 32. Shares were issued in October

2017 (30,731) and April 2018 (11,274). In the prior year ordinary shares were issued to directors in lieu of Directors’ fees in October

2016 (42,044) and April 2017 (35,913). At 30 June 2018 share capital includes an accrual for shares to be issued in lieu of Directors’

fees of $36,000 (2017: $70,000).

In the current year 715,928 ordinary shares were issued in October 2017 at an issue price of $4.806 per share and 484,007 ordinary

shares were issued in April 2018 at an issue price of $5.935 per share to shareholders who elected to participate in the Dividend

Reinvestment Plan.

In the prior year 330,115 ordinary shares were issued in April 2017 at an issue price of $3.515 per share to shareholders who elected

to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

In January 2017 3,384,266 ordinary shares were issued as part consideration for the acquisition of El Monte Rents Inc (refer

to note 16). These shares were issued with trading restrictions such that the shareholders must retain the legal and beneficial

ownership of 100% of their shares until 1 September 2017, not less than two thirds of their shares until 1 March 2018, and not less

than one third of their shares until 1 September 2018.

23. Borrowings
The guaranteeing group consisting of Tourism Holdings Limited and all New Zealand, Australian and United States 100% owned

subsidiaries had, at balance date, a working capital and a multi-option facility with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited, Australia

and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, Westpac New Zealand Limited, Westpac Banking Corporation and The Hongkong and

Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited and has provided a composite first ranking debenture over the assets and undertakings

of the Group.

The debt facility is a syndicated facility with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited as the facility agent.

The facilities are split into term facilities and an interchangeable working capital facility. The interchangeable facility is

interchangeable between overdraft, trade finance loans and documentary letter of credit. The documentary letter of credit

facility is utilised for the purchase of fleet from Action Manufacturing LP. The renewal of the facilities occurred in the current

financial year.

Current expiry dates are:

Interchangeable Working Capital Facility 23 August 2019

Term Facilities 27 June 2020, 28 February 2021 and 27 June 2022

The facilities cannot be called for repayment by the banks at a date earlier than the facility’s expiry date above unless an event

of default is triggered (e.g. breach of bank covenants, or failure to make a payment when due). No such events of default have

been triggered during the current or prior period. The facilities are tested quarterly for covenant compliance.

Interest rates (excluding line fees) applicable at 30 June 2018 on the bank term loans ranged from 1.9% to 5.3% p.a.

(2017: 1.4% to 4.3% p.a.).

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at

amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in

the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the

liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred, except for borrowing costs directly

attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, which are capitalised.

Qualifying assets are those assets that necessarily take an extended period of time (six months or more) to get ready for

their intended use.

The Group has sufficient working capital and undrawn financing facilities to service its operating activities and ongoing

investment in rental motorhomes. The Group has met all banking covenant requirements in the current period.

As part of its risk mitigation strategy, the Group has funded its investment El Monte Rents Inc (refer to note 16) with USD

denominated debt. The debt acts as a natural hedge of the investment and, hence, has been designated as a hedge of net

investments in foreign operations.

No borrowing costs were capitalised in 2018 (2017: nil).

As at 30 June 2018 the Group has a $30m Documentary Letter of Credit facility as part of the interchangeable working capital

facility. The amount drawn at 30 June 2018 was $15,608k (2017: $9,814k).

The outstanding documents are in favour of AMLP (refer to note 17) and are due for payment within 12 months. This is recognised

within ‘trade and other payables’ (refer to note 27).

26. Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables

is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to

the original terms of receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter

bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade

receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present

value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognised

in the income statement within ‘operating expenses’.

At June 2018 trade and other receivables includes an amount of $7,872k (June 2017: $8,574k) relating to vehicles purchased under

a short term buy-back arrangement. The difference between the original purchase price and the buy-back price is amortised as an

operating lease cost over the term of the arrangement.

There is no concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables, as the Group has a large number of customers,

internationally dispersed.

The Group has recognised an increase of $126k (2017: $193k increase) in the provision for the impairment of its trade receivables

which has been included in other operating expenses. The Group has written off, to other operating expenses, $255k (2017: $61k)

of balances of receivables during the year ended 30 June 2018.

27. Trade and other payables
Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business

from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the

normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost

using the effective interest method.

28. Financial instruments

Financial assets

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an

active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet

date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include trade and other receivables and cash and

cash equivalents in the balance sheet.

Fair value estimation

Interest rate swaps are valued by projecting forward cash flows over the future life of the transaction using the interest

rate yield curve as at balance date. The cash flows are then discounted to present value using the same yield curve.

The interest rate swap is valued at the sum of all the present value cash flows. The notional contract amounts of interest

rate swaps are shown in note 29).

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the

initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash

flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value

of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial

asset’s original effective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised

in the income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate

for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical

expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instrument’s fair value using an observable

market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an

event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal

of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Section E – Managing risk
In this section

This section explains the financial risks thl faces, how these risks affect thl’s financial position and performance, and how thl

manages these risks. In this section of the notes there is information:

a) Outlining thl’s approach to financial risk management; and

b) Analysing financial (hedging) instruments used to manage risk.

In the normal course of business the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks including foreign currency, interest rate,

credit and liquidity risks. To manage this risk the Group’s treasury activities are performed by a central treasury function and

are governed by Group policies approved by the Board of Directors.

The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise

potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group does not enter into derivative financial instruments

for trading or speculative purposes.

29. Financial risk management

Currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with

respect to the Australian dollar and the United States dollar. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions

are in currencies other than local currency and on recognised assets or liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

Foreign exchange exposures on future commercial transactions incurred by operations in currencies other than their local currency

are managed by using forward currency contracts in accordance with the Group’s treasury policy.

The Group has investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. This is

managed primarily through borrowings denominated in the relevant foreign currencies.

The Parent makes purchases in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk. This is managed by utilisation of forward

currency contracts from time to time in accordance with the Group’s treasury policy.

Exchange rate sensitivity

The following tables show the impact of a 5 cent movement up or down in the New Zealand dollar vs. the Australian dollar and

United States dollar and the impact that this exchange rate change has on reported net profit after tax and equity. The table

shows the post-tax impact on reported profit and equity in relation to currency risk, as described above, and does not include

the impact of translation risk, as described in note 22. A 5 cent change is considered a reasonable possible change based on

prior year movements.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk primarily arises from long-term borrowings, cash and cash equivalents and the advance to Action

Manufacturing LP. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed

rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk.

The Group manages its cash-flow interest rate risk by using floating to fixed interest rate derivative contracts. Such interest rate

derivative contracts have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates. Generally the Group

raises long term borrowings at floating rates that are lower than those available if the Group borrowed at fixed rates directly.

Under the interest rate derivative contracts, the Group agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals (mainly

quarterly), the difference between fixed contract rates and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed

notional principal amounts.

The Group maintains cash on overnight deposit in interest bearing bank accounts.

The following tables set out the interest rate repricing profile and current interest rate of the interest bearing financial assets

and liabilities.

Interest rate sensitivity

At year end the floating bank borrowings and cash deposits were subject to interest rate sensitivity risk. The remaining borrowings

are fixed using interest rate derivative contracts. If the Group’s floating borrowings and deposits year end balances remained the

same throughout the year and interest rates moved by 1.0% then the impact on profitability and equity is as follows:

At year end the value of interest rate derivative contracts used as cash flow hedges were subject to interest rate risk in relation to

the value recognised in equity. If interest rates moved by 1.0% across the yield curve then the impact on the fair value of the swaps

on equity is shown in the following table. A movement of 1%, or 100bps, is considered by management as a reasonable estimate

of a possible shift in interest rates for the year based on historic movements. As the interest rate swaps were effective as at

30 June 2018, there is no impact on the profit and loss in relation to the valuation of the interest rate swaps.

Credit risk

The Group has a concentration of credit risk in respect of the amount outstanding from the buy-back arrangement which is

secured by the 4WD vehicles. The Group has no other significant concentrations of credit risk. Policies are in place to ensure

that wholesale sales of products are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Sales to retail customers are made

in cash or via major credit cards. Derivative contract counterparties and cash on deposit are limited to high credit rated quality

financial institutions.

The Group considers its maximum exposure to credit risk as follows:

The Group has numerous credit terms for various customers. The terms vary from cash, monthly and greater depending on the

service and goods provided and the customer relationship. Collateral is not normally required. All trade receivables are individually

reviewed regularly for impairment as part of normal operating procedures and, where appropriate, a provision is made. Trade

receivables less than three months overdue are not considered impaired. Overdue amounts that have not been provided for relate

to customers that have a reliable trading credit history and no recent history of default.

Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding

through an adequate amount of credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of

the underlying businesses, Group Treasury aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping credit lines available.

Capital risk management

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to

provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost

of capital. The Group considers capital to be share capital and interest bearing debt. To maintain or alter the capital structure

the Group has the ability to review the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares,

reduce or increase debt or sell assets.

There are a number of externally imposed bank covenants required as part of seasonal and term debt facilities. These covenants

are calculated monthly and reported to banks quarterly. The most significant covenants relating to capital management are Net

Interest Bearing Debt to EBITDA ratio, and an Equity to Total Assets ratio (net of intangible assets). There have been no breaches

or events of review for the current or prior period.

Seasonality

The tourism industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations with peak demand for tourism attractions and transportation over the

summer months. The operating revenue and profits of the Group’s segments are disclosed in note 1. New Zealand and Australia’s

profits are typically generated over the southern hemisphere summer months and the United States of America’s profits are

typically generated over the northern hemisphere summer months. Due to the seasonal nature of the businesses, the risk profile

at year end is not representative of all risks faced during the year.

30. Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

The Group enters into interest rate swaps and other derivatives to hedge interest rate risk.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently

remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is

designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives

as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge) or (2) hedges of

a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge).

The Group documents, at the inception of the transaction, the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as

well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Group also documents its

assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions

are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items.

Movements on the hedging reserve in shareholders’ equity are shown in the notes. The full fair value of hedging derivatives

is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a

current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified

as a current asset or liability.

Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are

recognised in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.

Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss

(for instance when the forecast sale that is hedged takes place). The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate

swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognised in the income statement within ‘finance expenses’. The gain or loss relating

to the effective portion of forward foreign exchange contracts hedging export sales is recognised in the income statement within

‘sales’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example,

inventory) or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included

in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset or liability.

When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative

gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately

recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that

was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement.

The notional principal amounts of the outstanding interest rate swap contracts at 30 June 2018 were $129,807k (2017:

$123,294k).

At 30 June 2018, the fixed interest rates vary from 1.33% to 5.78% (2017: 1.33% to 6.45%).

The liquidity table in note 29 identifies the periods in which the cash flows are expected to occur. The periods in which the cash

flows are expected to impact the profit or loss are materially the same.

thl Annual Financial Statements 2018 45

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

Fair values
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values:

• Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value as discussed below.

• Receivables and payables are short term in nature and therefore approximate fair value.

• Interest bearing liabilities re-price at least every 90 days and therefore approximate fair value.

Financial instruments of the Group that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value are classified by level

under the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly

(that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised is determined on the basis of

the lowest input to the fair value measurement. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant

adjustment based on unobservable inputs, the measurement is a Level 3 measurement.

The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as of the date of the event or

change in circumstances that caused the transfer.

As at 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 the Group’s only assets and liabilities measured at fair values are derivative financial

instruments which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The methods used in determining fair value are as follows:

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices are not available, use is

made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve or available forward price data for the duration of the

instruments.

The following inputs are used for fair value calculations of derivatives:

• Interest rate forward price curve – Published market swap rates

• Foreign exchange forward prices – Published spot foreign exchange rates and interest rate

differentials

• Discount rate for valuing interest rate derivatives – The discount rates used to value interest rate derivatives are

published market interest rates as applicable to the remaining

life of the instrument

• Discount rate for valuing forward foreign exchange contracts – The discount rates used to value interest rate derivatives are

published market interest rates as applicable to the remaining

life of the instrument

There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the period. There were no transfers of derivative financial

instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year.

Share scheme

Share scheme 2009-16

From the 2009 financial year the Group has operated an equity-settled, share-based long term incentive plan for the

Chief Executive and other senior executives under which the Group receives services from the executives as consideration

for redeemable ordinary shares of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of

the redeemable shares is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount expensed is determined by

reference to the fair value of the redeemable shares granted.

Amounts accumulated in the executive share scheme reserve are transferred to share capital on redemption of the

redeemable shares or to retained earnings where they are forfeited. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises

its estimates of the number of redeemable shares that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions.

It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding

adjustment to the employee share scheme reserve.

The terms of the scheme are contained in a trust deed, with the following main terms:

1. Redeemable shares are issued and held by THL Corporate Trustee Limited on behalf of the executive.

2. Prior to April 2015 the issue price of the redeemable shares was set based on the volume weighted average price of

Tourism Holdings Limited ordinary shares over the 10 days leading up to the issue date. From April 2015 the issue price

was calculated over a 20 day period leading up to the issue date, to align with the calculation of shares issued to directors

in lieu of directors’ fees.

3. One cent is payable on acceptance of the redeemable shares.

4. The redeemable shares are able to be converted to ordinary shares at the election of the executive after a minimum of two

years at a rate of one third of the issue per year. The exercise price payable by the executive is the issue price plus a cost of

equity adjustment for two years, less dividends paid for two years.

5. The redeemable shares are entitled to dividends only to the extent that they are paid up.

6. The maximum period that the redeemable shares can be on issue is six years.

7. Valuation of the redeemable shares for accounting purposes is done by KPMG using the Binomial Option Pricing Model.

The assessed value is charged to the profit and loss over the life of the scheme/option with a corresponding credit to the

employee share scheme reserve.

Share scheme 2017

In the 2017 financial year the Group introduced an equity-settled, share-based long term incentive plan for the Chief

Executive and other senior executives under which the Group receives services from the executives as consideration for

Options to purchase ordinary shares of the Group. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the

grant of the Options is recognised as an expense in the income statement. The total amount expensed is determined by

reference to the fair value of the Options granted.

Amounts accumulated in the executive share scheme reserve are transferred to share capital on the exercise of the

Options or to retained earnings where they are forfeited. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its

estimates of the number of Options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises

the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to the

employee share scheme reserve.

The terms of the 2017 scheme are contained in a document entitled ‘The Rules of the Tourism Holdings Long Term Incentive

Scheme 2017’.

1. Options to purchase ordinary shares are issued to executives by the Board

2. The option price is set based on the volume weighted average price of Tourism Holdings Limited ordinary shares over the

20 days leading up to the grant date

3. The options can be exercised at the election of the executive after a minimum of two years from the grant date. A maximum

of one third of the options can be exercised after two years, two thirds after three years and all options can be exercised after

five years. After six years, the options lapse and there is no further right to exercise. The exercise price payable by the executive

is the option price plus a cost of equity adjustment for two years, less dividends paid for two years.

4. The participants holding options have no interest in the ordinary shares that are the subject of the options, until the options

are exercised and ordinary shares issued.

5. Valuation of the options for accounting purposes is done by KPMG using the Binomial Option Pricing Model. The assessed

value is charged to the profit and loss over the life of the scheme/option with a corresponding credit to the employee share

scheme reserve.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realisation of the related tax

benefit through the future taxable profits is probable.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets

against current liabilities and when the deferred income tax relate to the same fiscal authority.

36. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

There are no new or amended standards which have been adopted in the year ended 30 June 2018 that have a material impact

on the Group.

New standards not yet adopted by the Group

The following accounting standards and amendments to existing standards are not yet effective and have not been early

adopted by the Group:

(i) NZ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and

financial liabilities. The complete version of NZ IFRS 9 was issued in September 2014. It replaces the guidance in NZ IAS

39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. NZ IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed

measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value

through other comprehensive income and fair value through profit or loss. The basis of classification depends on the entity’s

business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are

required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair

value in other comprehensive income without subsequent recycling to profit or loss. There is now a new expected credit losses

model that replaces the incurred loss impairment model used in NZ IAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes

thl Annual Financial Statements 2018 55

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income,
for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. NZ IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by

replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging

instrument and for the ‘hedged ratio’ to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes.

Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under NZ IAS 39. The standard

is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently

assessing the full impact of the new standard and is expected to adopt it in the period it becomes mandatory. The impact is

unknown at this stage. The Group performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of IFRS 9 in the areas of hedging and

accounts receivable impairment. As a result of the high level analysis, no significant differences have been identified.

(ii) IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ applies to all contracts with customers, except leases, insurance contracts,

financial instruments, certain non-monetary exchanges and certain guarantees. The Group has performed an assessment of

the effect of applying the new standard on the consolidated financial statements. The Group has achieved certain milestones

during the period and the preliminary view is the impact of the new standard on fleet sales and tourism group revenue, is not

expected to be material to the results but will impact disclosure requirements.

As part of the thl IFRS 15 transition impact analysis, management reviewed their rental revenue arrangements to identify if

they contained any components that are outside of the scope of NZ IFRS 15. Management identified and separated a lease

component that relates to the rental of motor homes and will recognise this portion of the revenue under NZ IAS 17 (prior

to adoption of NZ IFRS 16) in the financial statement for the year ended 30 June 2019. Other than changes in disclosure

requirements there is not expected to be any change in respect of the treatment of rental revenue. Other service revenue

(such as wi-fi, accessories and additional services) that is not considered to be lease revenue will be accounted under

NZ IFRS 15 upon adoption.

The standard permits either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for adoption. The Group currently

intends to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach, which means that the cumulative impact (if any)

of the adoption will be recognised in retained earnings as at 1 July 2018 and that comparatives will not be restated.

(iii) NZ IFRS 16, Leases replaces the current guidance in NZ IAS 17. Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if the

contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Under

NZ IAS 17, a lessee was required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on balance sheet) and an operating lease

(off balance sheet). NZ IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and

a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. Included is an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and

leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard is effective for accounting

periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Early adoption is permitted but only in conjunction with NZ IFRS 15, ‘Revenue

from Contracts with Customers’. The Group intends to adopt NZ IFRS 16 on its effective date. The Group has a number

of operating leases, predominantly relating to the leased premises from which it operates (refer to note 13). The Group is

currently assessing the full impact of the new standard, it is expected that it will result in the recognition of a right of use

asset and lease obligations on the consolidated Statement of financial position in relation to the operating leases, and will

result in increasing depreciation and interest expense, and reducing the operating lease expense within the consolidated

income statement.

Other interpretations and amendments are unlikely to have a significant impact on the Group’s financial statements and have

therefore not been analysed in detail.

37. Contingencies

As at 30 June 2018 the Group has bank guarantees of $1,130k in place. Predominantly these are in lieu of bonds paid relating to

leased assets (2017: $976k).

The Group is currently, and may be from time to time, involved in a number of legal proceedings that are incidental to its

operations. However, the Group is not currently involved in any legal or arbitration proceedings which may have, or have had in

the 12 months preceding the date of this report, a significant effect on the financial position or profitability of the Group.

38. Events after the reporting period

38.1 Final Dividend – A dividend was declared after balance date at 14 cents per share payable on 11 October 2018. The dividend

reinvestment plan will be available for this dividend.

38.2 Banking Facility – An additional $30M loan facility was approved after balance date to support the FY19 investments into

fleet and TH2. The facility has a maturity date of September 2019.

38.3 Action Manufacturing LP acquisition of Fairfax Industries Limited – On 21 August 2018, AMLP entered into an agreement to

purchase the assets and liabilities of Fairfax Industries Limited, an Auckland based truck and trailer manufacturer, for $5.2M. The

investment will be funded by a combination of bank debt and additional funds invested by AMLP’s partners. Each of the partners

of AMLP, thl and Alpine Bird Manufacturing Ltd, will invest additional equity into AMLP of $1.5M.

36. Changes in accounting policies and disclosures (continued)

56 thl Annual Financial Statements 2018

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)

The consolidated financial statements comprise:
• the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018;

• the consolidated income statement for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

• the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

• the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting policies.

Our opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements of Tourism Holdings Limited (the Company, thl), including its subsidiaries (the

Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2018, its financial performance and

its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

(NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs NZ) and International

Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for

the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of Ethics for Assurance

Practitioners (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards

Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical

responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of treasury advisory, assistance with the formatting of subsidiary

financial statements, agreed procedures in relation to the annual shareholding meeting and Waitomo revenue. The provision of

these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.

Our audit approach

Overview

An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from

material misstatement.

Overall Group materiality: $2.75 million, which represents approximately 5% of profit before tax.

We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the

performance of the Group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.

We have determined that there are two key audit matters:

• Residual values and depreciation rates for motorhomes

• Investment in TH2Connect Joint Venture

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group

materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations,

helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of

misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Audit scope

We designed our audit by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements and our

application of materiality. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including

among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due

to fraud.

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of Tourism Holdings Limited

thl Annual Financial Statements 2018 57

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and

the industry in which the Group operates.

Our Group audit scope focused on the major operating locations. In aggregate, the locations selected contribute 98% of the

Group’s revenue.

Audits of each location are performed at a materiality level calculated by reference to a proportion of Group materiality

appropriate to the relative scale of the business concerned. The remaining operations were not considered individually

significant to the Group and, depending on our risk assessment, were subject to other audit procedures such as analytical

procedures, enquiry and testing key balances.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the

consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion

on these matters.

KEY AUDIT MATTERHOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER

Residual values and depreciation rates for motorhomes

The value of the motorhomes fleet at 30 June 2018 was $331 million

(2017: $289 million), having charged $41 million (2017: $34 million)

depreciation for the year.

The gain on sale of motorhomes sold during the year was $23 million

(2017: $22 million).

thl generates both rental income from its motorhomes and revenue

from the sale of motorhomes. Accordingly, there are two significant

operating activities associated with its motorhomes and the financial

performance of each operating activity is assessed separately.

The depreciation rate applied to the motorhomes directly affects the

profit from rental and the subsequent gain on sale. The estimate,

therefore, can have a significant impact on the annual performance

results.

Management estimates the depreciation rates for motorhomes

based on the expected value decline over their useful life, on a straight

line basis. This requires management to estimate the useful life and

the residual value of the vehicle when it is expected to be taken out

of the rental fleet. The residual value is influenced by its condition, the

mileage on the motorhome and the consumer demand within the

relevant resale market. Management considers the market conditions

and the impact any changes could have on their estimates as part of

their overall fleet management program.

Management completes an annual review of the appropriateness of

the depreciation rates and the residual values by:

• comparing the actual depreciation rate to previous years’ to ensure

consistency of the depreciation rates and residual value estimates

over the life of the motorhomes; and

• comparing profit margins on the vehicle sales for the year to the

estimated residual value and to historical margins achieved.

Changes in the expected useful life or residual value will impact the

depreciation charge and will have a corresponding impact on the

results of the Group.

Refer to the Basis of preparation (Critical accounting judgements and

key sources of estimation uncertainty) and note 11 – Property, plant

and equipment.

We performed the following audit procedures to assess

the judgements made by management:

• we obtained an understanding of the relevant

business processes;

• we reviewed management’s annual board paper

on the motorhome residual values and depreciation

rates;

• for a sample of motorhomes sold during the year

we compared the sales proceeds to the depreciated

value in the fixed asset register to recalculate

the gain on sale and assess the accuracy of

management’s estimates;

• we compared the overall profit achieved from

motorhome sales for the year to historical results

and the profit that had been forecast for the year to

determine whether the profit and margin achieved

was in line with forecasts and historical performance.

This provided evidence to support the ability of

management to reliably forecast expected useful life

and residual values of the motorhome fleet;

• we recalculated the depreciation charge for

the year; and

• we assessed whether depreciation rates applied were

consistent with the accounting policy.

Our audit procedures did not result in any adjustments

to the residual values and depreciation rates.

KEY AUDIT MATTERHOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTER

Investment in TH2Connect Joint Venture

Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements provides disclosure

relating to the investment in the TH2Connect joint venture (“TH2”) of

$46 million.

The joint venture business operates as a digital service provider to

Recreational Vehicle (RV) owners and operators in the United States.

These services include trip planning and booking, remote system

monitoring, roadside assistance, and peer to peer RV campsite rental.

The investment was settled through the contribution of a

combination of cash, certain intangible assets and other investments.

The transaction resulted in an investment of 50% in TH2 by thl.

Management prepared an accounting paper considering the

accounting treatment of the TH2 transaction concluding:

• the investment meets the IFRS 11 definition of a joint venture based

on the voting rights, governance appointments and profit / loss

sharing arrangements;

• the premium of $24.3 million arising on the initial asset contribution

by thl relative to the fair value is appropriately recognised as a gain

on disposal consistent with IAS28 and IFRS10;

• the initial fair value of the Investment in the Joint Venture is

supportable based on the joint venture partner’s cash contribution.

The investment is classified as a joint venture in accordance with IFRS

11 and accounted for using the equity method.

Management have considered if there were any impairment triggers

at year end in the context of:

• the recent investment date of 1 March 2018; and

• the planned early stage losses

and concluded there are no impairment indicators as the business

is operating on a basis that is consistent with the forecasts and

expectations.

We have performed the following audit procedures:

• read the sale and purchase agreement to understand

the key terms and conditions, and confirmed that our

understanding of the transaction is consistent with

the accounting treatment;

• inspected the founding document for the terms of

ownership, to determine that the investment is a

joint venture;

• considered whether the accounting treatment

and disclosures made are in accordance with thl’s

accounting policies;

• recalculated the premium on contribution and

confirmed that the accounting treatment was

consistent with IAS 28 and IFRS 10;

• agreed the joint venture partner’s cash contributions

supporting the fair value;

• considered whether there were any impairment

indicators by comparing the actual results for the

4-month period with the original business case.

We had no matters to report arising from the

procedures performed.

Information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report

The Directors are responsible for the annual report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other

information included in the annual report and we do not, express any form of assurance conclusion on the other information.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in

doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our

knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed

on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial

statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable

the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a

going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless

the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable

assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ and ISAs will

always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,

individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis

of these consolidated financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board’s

website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might

state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 Company and the Company’s shareholders,

Securities Trading Policy

thl has in place a formal Securities Trading Policy and guidelines which applies to all Directors, officers and employees of thl and

its subsidiaries who intend to trade in

thl listed securities.

All individuals defined as ‘restricted persons’ under that policy must notify

thl of their intention to trade and obtain approval from

the Board before trading in

thl ’s shares. No trading in shares is permitted in ‘blackout periods’ from 1 June each year until 48 hours

after the release of the full year results and from 1 December each year until 48 hours after the release of the half year results,

except in exceptional circumstances.

Trading is permitted outside the blackout periods, provided the restricted person confirms that they do not hold any material

information and that they are not aware of any reason that would prohibit them from trading. Any trading must be completed

within 10 trading days of approval being given. Restricted persons are defined in the policy as:

• all Directors;

• the Chief Executive Officer (CEO);

• all members of the senior management team and their direct reports;

• the administrative staff of the senior management team;

• all employees in the finance department;

• trusts and companies controlled by such persons;

• anyone notified by the CFO from time to time; and

• anyone participating in the Long Term Incentive Scheme.

Diversity Policy

The

thl Diversity Policy endorses and supports diversity in Board, Executive and staff appointments, encompassing differences

including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, race, marital status, sexual orientation, age, employment status, religious belief,

ethical belief or political opinion. When making appointments, the Board and management is committed to considering diversity

as well as the mix of skills and experience needed to expand the perspective and capability of the Board and the management

team as a whole.

The Board considers that it currently has the appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity to discharge its responsibilities.

thl Annual Financial Statements 2018 65
Statutory information (continued)

For the year ended 30 June 2018

As at 30 June 2018, being the balance date, the Board of

thl comprised four female directors and two male directors, compared

to four female directors and two male directors at 30 June 2017.

As at 30 June 2018 the officers (being the CEO and those who report directly to the CEO and COO) of

thl comprised three

CEO and Executive remuneration

One of the objectives of the Remuneration & Nomination Committee is to ensure that a sound remuneration framework is in

place that ensures that:

• The management team is fairly and equitably remunerated.

• The senior executive are appropriately rewarded for excellent performance and achievement.

• thl is able to attract and retain high performing people whose skills and attributes are well matched to thl

’s requirements.

• Remuneration structure of the executives are aligned with the interests of shareholders.

The CEO and Executive remuneration has three elements:

• Fixed base salary and allowances

• Annual performance incentive

• Long term incentives

The fixed salary of the CEO and Executive is reviewed on a biannual basis and benchmarked against the median of the market.

The annual performance incentives are linked to financial and individual targets. For the 2018 financial year, the CEO annual

incentive is based 50% on Company financial performance (Net profit after tax, and Return on funds employed), and 50% on

individual performance against specific targets (acquisitions and investor relations). The CFO annual incentive is based 80%

on Company financial performance and 20% on individual performance against specific targets. The annual incentives of other

Executives are based 40% on Company financial performance and 40% on other financial targets, and 20% on individual

performance against specific targets. Other senior staff have annual incentives based 60% on financial performance and 40%

on individual performance against specific targets.

The long term incentive (LTI) scheme is designed to align the interests of the Executives with those of the shareholders.

Executives are rewarded for long-term increases in shareholder value. Executives are invited to participate in the long term

incentive plan by the Board. On an annual basis, participating Executives are awarded share performance rights at the discretion

of the Board. The awarding of rights is based on a percentage of fixed remuneration, based on a valuation of the rights carried

out each year by KPMG. Details of the schemes and the status of rights issued under the schemes is included in note 33 to the

Financial Statements.

are achieved. In addition, a further incentive of up to 28% (2017: 35%) of fixed remuneration and allowances is payable for the

over-achievement of financial targets. The final review of performance for the year has not yet been completed, given that some

performance targets are subject to the final audited financial statements. In 2018, $393,200 (2017: $396,200) has been accrued

$0.365, giving a total value of $87,600.

NZX Waivers

On 26 April 2013 thl obtained a waiver from NZX Regulation (‘NZXR’) from NZSX Listing Rule (‘Rule’) 7.6.1 (which relates to

the acquisition or redemption of equity securities by an Issuer). The waiver relates to thl

’s long term incentive scheme for senior

executives. thl had previously been granted a waiver for its 2006 long term incentive scheme in July 2009.

NZXR revoked the 2009 waiver and granted thl a new waiver from Rule 7.6.1 to allow thl to redeem:

Any redeemable shares issued for the purposes of the thl 2006 long term incentive scheme or the thl 2009 long term incentive

scheme (‘Scheme’), and any further redeemable shares issued for the purposes of the Scheme, which may no longer be required

for the purposes of the Scheme because:

• an executive has ceased to be employed by the thl Group before requiring a transfer of those shares; or

• because an executive does not call for a transfer of shares within the time allowed by the Scheme; or

• an executive otherwise surrenders or forfeits any rights under the Scheme, including the right to call for a transfer.

On 27 February 2017 thl obtained a waiver from NZXR from Rule 8.1.7 (which ensures that Options may not be subsequently

amended by an issuer in a manner that is detrimental to the interests of the holders of the underlying Equity Securities). The

waiver was granted to the extent that the Rule would otherwise prevent the issue of Options under thl

’s long term incentive

scheme for senior executives, introduced in 2017. The ruling allows for a formula to be used for the exercise price of the Options,

that will result in a fluctuating exercise price.

Note:

1

Return On Funds Employed (ROFE) is a non-GAAP measure that thl uses to measure performance of

business units, and the Group, in relation to the financial resources utilised. ROFE is calculated as EBIT

divided by average monthly net funds employed. Net funds employed are measured as total assets, less

non-interest bearing liabilities and cash on hand. The calculation is done in NZ dollars.

0706 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018

ALL SET FOR SIGNIFICANT
EXPANSION.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

BY MOST STANDARDS thl HAS DELIVERED STRONG

RESULTS IN RECENT YEARS. WE SEE MUCH GREATER

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE BUSINESS – OPPORTUNITIES

THAT REQUIRE A NEW BUSINESS MODEL, WHICH IS

CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED. IN THE COMING

YEAR, WE PLAN SOME FURTHER MAJOR INITIATIVES

THAT WILL PROVIDE THE BASE FOR thl GROWTH IN

THE SUBSEQUENT YEARS.

Dear Shareholders

On behalf of the Board, I present the accounts for the 2018

financial year. In this report I provide a summary of the Board’s

view on the business and direction for the coming years. I also

provide a short overview of the business performance for the

year that has passed – although the detail is covered in the

CEO and divisional reports.

Our Position and Direction

By most standards thl has delivered strong results in recent

years. We see much greater opportunities for the business

– opportunities that require a new business model, which

is currently being constructed. In the coming year, we plan

some further major initiatives that will provide the base for

thl growth in the subsequent years.

This year we delivered another record result – a pre-one-off

Net Profit after Tax (NPAT) increase of 24%. The one-off

gain of $24.3M, from the contribution of assets to TH2, is

recognition of value that was present in the business, but not

recognised fully by the market; however, we should also note

it is a non-cash gain. Our investment in TH2 to date has been

primarily intellectual property developed in recent years. Going

forward, we are investing further with our JV partner in that

development and commercialisation.

The potential that has been created within the business

through the global expansion and development of the TH2

joint venture with Thor Industries will accelerate value growth

for thl. In the short term, this requires significant investment.

Businesses are challenged today to deliver returns within

a fourth industrial revolution, which is data and experience

driven. The challenge is to create a sustainable business with an

adaptive business model. thl has substantive global opportunity

in this context and this is the next chapter in our story.

It is time to invest in global growth and to reassess our balance

sheet and capital management structures to enable that

growth. There are a few key points for shareholders to note

about these changes.

1. We will invest further into TH2. The opportunity is

substantial and, given the very low level of cash investment

to date from thl, the approach now is to invest to create

a deeper, richer product, build it faster and take a more

expansive approach to how we engage customers (we will

commence with a freemium consumer product offer, rather

than seeking subscription fees upfront). This year we will

invest around $15M NZD in this business (thl share).

2. We need to reconsider new medium-term goals for the

business. The underlying assumptions for the 2020 NPAT

goal of $50M haven’t materially changed in the core

businesses; however, with the investments in TH2 and other

potential changes (M&A activity) planned over the coming

year, we will reset a new goal. It is too soon to set that goal,

but we will set it openly and deliver. The new goal will be

substantially higher.

3. We are continuing to explore M&A activity that adds

value to the longer term position of thl. We are currently

in discussions with various parties around the world,

with interesting opportunities for both core thl and the

businesses in which we have equity interests. We will keep

the market informed, as appropriate.

4. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) will continue.

It is intended that the DRP for the final dividend will be

fully underwritten.

In summary, thl is now a global player in the broader RV

industry. While New Zealand-based, our operations and

aspirations are global and growth oriented. We have skills

and experience that mean we can create systems to succeed

in all markets.

This involves some resetting and consolidation of earnings

growth in the short term.

08 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018 09

Governance
From a governance perspective, we welcomed Cathy Quinn on

to the Board at the Annual Meeting. The Board is in the process

of conducting an external review of our operating practices and

capabilities to ensure we operate the most effectively for you,

the shareholders.

The recent Prudential review of CBA in Australia was a

timely reminder for all Boards to review their performance

and challenge whether complacency has set in anywhere.

The thl Board conducted a review against the findings from

the report. We challenged ourselves and the business in a very

open manner. We have found some areas that we want to

improve on; however, were broadly happy that, given the size

of the organisation, we have good transparency.

We continue to review our disclosures and Charters as

normal practice.

Outlook

We are not in a position to provide a forecast for the

company today, owing to the extensive changes under way

in the business. We will have a lower profit, due to the further

investment in TH2. thl’s share of the losses will be around

$15M before tax in FY19.

Finally, I would like to, again, thank all the stakeholders in

and around thl. There has been some very positive external

acknowledgement of the direction we have taken, with various

awards for thl over the last two years. For the teams in the

business, it is a useful reminder that the speed of change and

effort is noted both within and outside thl. Thank you all.

Rob Campbell

Chairman

Forecasts

We will have a NPAT result in the coming 12 months that will be

below the performance of the FY18 year, due to the investment

in TH2. Core business operating Earnings Before Interest and

Tax (EBIT) will increase.

The Board assess the direction of the business constantly.

We are confident that we are moving in the right direction

as a business. In the year ahead, we are building the platform

for future earnings growth on a much larger scale than was

achievable under the former business model.

The FY18 Result

The Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was $62.4M, which included a

one-off gain associated with the creation of TH2 and the assets

we contributed into that business. The one-off gain was $23.1M

(after transaction costs of $1.2M). There was also a one-off

tax gain of $1.8M. The underlying ordinary trading profit was

$37.5M, up from $30.2M – an increase of 24% on the prior year.

This operating result was below our objective and not all parts

of the business succeeded. The CEO and divisional reports will

note the successes and opportunities. We will report again on

our progress at the Annual Meeting.

We finished the year with net debt of $199M; up on the prior

year by $23M, due to higher vehicle numbers and a movement

in exchange rate with the USD. We are comfortable with the

current debt situation; however, will look to improve the fleet

efficiency in New Zealand rentals over the coming year.

We continue to focus on being around 2.0 x debt to EBITDA

on a rolling basis.

The final dividend of 14cps brings the total to 27cps for the full

year, up from 21cps – or an increase of 29%. We remain focused

on providing strong dividend flows for investors, whilst being

aware of the need to maintain an appropriate balance sheet

structure for growth. We have made no changes to our

dividend policy.

Views on the Operating Business

Over the past few years, we have continued to increase the

amount of information we provide to the market; we set

guidance, provide goals and note where we are working to

plan and where we are not. We continue to do that today.

This business is a positive and very fast moving one. We have

taken thl global and as a significant player in the larger RV

industry around the world. Yet we are very aware we have more

to do. In the CEO report, Grant will provide more detail on the

work we have commenced to become more connected globally,

creating a system that enables competitive advantage and

leverages the IP we have created.

We rely on our teams across the globe and we will continue

to find ways in which we can be more sustainable, improve

their wellbeing and create greater productivity and better

working environments. It’s hard work, and our team deserve

the appropriate recognition. These investments are just as

important as those we make in physical capital.

Sustainability

We are one year on from the first sustainability report. When

reflecting on the progress of the business over the last year, the

cultural change is likely the most significant. Creating genuine

belief in doing the right thing from a sustainability perspective

is critical. The appointment of a General Manager Responsible

Management is far more than a title. It is acknowledgement

that we need resource and guidance for the business to build

the capability and desire of all the team to operate with a

sustainable future in mind.

I encourage all shareholders to check the new microsite to

review our progress in detail: www.thlsustainability.com.

THIS BUSINESS IS A POSITIVE AND VERY FAST

MOVING ONE. WE HAVE TAKEN thl GLOBAL AND AS A

SIGNIFICANT PLAYER IN THE LARGER RV INDUSTRY

AROUND THE WORLD. YET WE ARE VERY AWARE WE

HAVE MORE TO DO.

10 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018 11

TO GO
EVEN

FURTHER.

DRIVEN

When reflecting on the last 12 months, we can say that we

underachieved against some of our greater ambitions –

however, I deeply believe that we should be celebrating the

larger steps we have taken to make thl a global entity of

significance.

We had another record result and, inclusive of the recognised

IP in TH2, delivered a 107% increase in NPAT. The increase in

EBIT pre the one-off items was 33%, with a net debt increase

of 13%.

TH2

The creation of TH2 is, by far, the highlight of the year when

considering the potential for this business into the future.

We have a dedicated story on TH2 within this report.

The TH2 business has all the early stage ingredients to be

a very successful business in a much larger market than thl

has operated in historically.

With Thor as the JV partner, we have, over the past few

months, created a much higher awareness of thl and the

products we have within the business.

The product set we are developing within TH2 has been well

received in market tests and research. External assessments

of the product and business assumptions have been conducted

in the last six months and also reinforce that we have the right

mix of products and customer propositions to be effective.

TH2 will require different thinking, different reporting KPIs and

a different mind-set from a capital deployment perspective.

We will be as transparent as we can, whilst remaining mindful

of the competitive nature of this type of business and the

market requirements of ourselves and our partner.

The FY18 Result

The information we provide is set across this annual report

commentary, the detailed financial statements and the

investor PowerPoint presentation. I encourage shareholders

to read all the relevant information, to get a total picture of

our performance and actions for the coming year.

Services revenue for the year increased by 21% and vehicle

sales revenue by 33%, which created a total combined revenue

growth of 25%. Last year we grew by 22%, so the compounding

growth rate is very strong.

Within the result, there are some areas of very strong success,

some which are just ok and some where we want to see

improvement. This is the nature of a multi-faceted, global

company; not everything will be perfect all the time.

Overall, the highlight for the year would be the Australian

business – with an EBIT result of $10.6M, an increase of 35%

over the prior year. ROFE for the business grew from 11.8%

to 13.3% – a superb result for that business.

The New Zealand business had a great first half and poor

second half year result, which is compared to the Lions Tour

in 2017. We still had an increase of over 6% EBIT for the year,

over $25M EBIT and a ROFE similar to last year, at 18%. The

last quarter dragged the result down, as we had lower than

anticipated vehicle sales.

This year in New Zealand, we negotiated the purchase of large

motorhomes from a competitor (Jucy). This was a very positive

opportunity for thl and has seen thl further expand its large

motorhome offering. Jucy no longer offers large motorhomes

for rent in New Zealand or Australia. We have been able to sell

most of those vehicles, contributing a margin in line with our

overall expectations.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

WE ARE HERE. WE ARE GLOBAL, WE ARE GROWING AND

WE HAVE OPPORTUNITY. WITHIN thl, WE TALK VERY

OPENLY ABOUT PROGRESS, HOW WE ARE OPERATING

AND WHAT ELSE WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TO IMPROVE.

WE BRING PEOPLE INTO THE BUSINESS AND ASK THEM

TO HOLD A MIRROR TO US, CHALLENGE US AND SEE

WHAT ELSE WE CAN DO.

12 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018 13

New Zealand
Rentals

Demand looks strong for New Zealand rentals into the coming

year. Historically we have not achieved the yield growth seen in

the hotel sector; however, we haven’t attempted to. The lack of

capacity in hotels, and the growing delta in hotel to motorhome

pricing, seems to be having a positive impact and growing the

total RV segment.

Sales

Vehicle sales demand remains strong as a whole across

the country. Imported product has grown again in the last

12 months. Demand for minivans also remains high and we

are gaining better dealer support for the ex-rental product

we have been creating. We are confident that, with the right

range and pricing, we can grow vehicle sales in New Zealand

in the coming year.

Australia

Rentals

Rental demand is positive in Australia. We haven’t seen the

latest government forecasts yet, however there is no indication

that the 2017 growth goals won’t be achieved. We continue to

ponder yield growth in Australia, where we have high utilisation

for most of the year.

Sales

We continue to broadly achieve our desired goals in Australia.

The broader RV market seems to have slowed in general in

the last half, but shows some signs of growth again in recent

weeks. We continue to drive both core and flex-fleet sales

successfully against plan.

USA

Rentals

The international market to the USA for RV rentals currently

shows little or no growth. The USA is likely losing market

share on a world tourism basis. We are positive about our

position within the market internationally and we are focused

on growing new markets. Domestic business is stable, but at

lower yields. Any excess capacity from the international market,

which has an early lead time, tends to have an impact on

domestic yield. This current high season, late booking business

remains uncertain. The fires in Northern California are creating

some cancellations for the “Burning Man” event in late August.

One downside has been that we have held an additional

~60 vehicles of a similar nature at year-end, which was not the

original plan. We have also held ~40 pod vehicles at year-end,

due to late timing of the fleet coming off rental and subsequent

manufacturing capacity constraints. These assets held will be

sold, but do impact the year-end metrics for the business. It is

important to understand our model is still working.

The USA businesses combined (Road Bear and El Monte)

delivered an EBIT result of $19.8M, an increase of 62% over

the prior year – but with the first full year of El Monte.

The ROFE for the businesses were 25% and 9%, respectively.

Road Bear was down on last year, as expected, due to increased

costs and lower fleet growth.

The Tourism businesses grew EBIT by 11%, although, within

that, Kiwi Experience EBIT declined year-on-year. ROFE in

that segment was 49%, up from 40% the prior year.

The equity interests each have a story to tell for the year,

which is included later within this report.

The net debt position for the company was $199M at year-end,

up $23M on the prior year. Importantly, there is a corresponding

increase in assets over the prior year. The debt to EBITDA ratio

was 1.9 and, as indicated previously, we are comfortable around

the 2.0 mark.

As a company we continue to remind ourselves of the need to

focus on ROFE and growth at the same time as we deliver an

improved customer experience and a sustainable business from

all perspectives. This is not an easy balance, but we are honest

with ourselves about where we are and what is next. We are

set for more growth.

The executive would summarise this year’s financial result

as one with some highs, some areas for improvement and

disappointment – but, importantly, one where we still set new

records and, most significantly, set a stage for a substantially

improved thl in the future.

The Global Nature of thl

We operate a large number of brands around the world,

on a global stage. We have different businesses, with slightly

different business models (based on their market) and different

stages of capability development. At a group level, we review

the needs of each business, in context of their performance

and market environment.

During the year that has passed, we have progressed our global

initiatives – although we’re not yet complete. Dynamics 365 has

been implemented in New Zealand and Australia and is planned

to be implemented in the USA in the coming financial year.

The ‘Cosmos’ system, which has been in development over the

last 2.5 years, is nearly ready for launch, with a Quarter 2 FY19

expected start for New Zealand and Australia.

These ‘global’ initiatives add to the value of the broader thl

network or system. They have challenged us to review how

we market ourselves as a group and how we can gain further

leverage of the larger, more global nature of thl, without losing

any of the market context and different business models that

we need today. We see some excellent opportunities across the

group and will discuss more of the marketing initiatives at the

Annual Meeting in October.

Sales

Industry statistics indicate new shipments of RVs has slowed

and recently (July) declined on a year-on-year basis. We have

not yet seen any impact on our business in the USA. The used

market is considered a little more resilient than new, given

the price differences. Yield or margin growth in sales is not

expected, but we expect volumes to remain to our plan.

UK

Rentals

We are currently seeing strong growth in hire days for the

summer season. We need to continue to manage pricing more

effectively. The longer term outlook remains positive.

Sales

Just go has suffered from thl taking Jucy units, which disrupted

timing of the Just go fleet movements. The lower consumer

confidence in the UK may stifle expected growth in vehicle

sales, although we are up-weighting our resource in this area

and expect some growth.

Summary

It has been another substantive year for the thl team,

shareholders and other stakeholders. Underlying the record

profit, and one-off gain in the creation of TH2, is a business

which has substantial operational activity every day. We are

24/7, with something happening somewhere in the business

globally every minute of every day. That takes a lot of energy

for all involved.

Last year I noted that it was a successful year in FY17, but we

could see further opportunities to improve. With the number of

operations we have, perhaps we will always see opportunities,

as this year is no exception. We did well overall, but could have

done better, and suffered some growing pains in parts of

the business.

This year ahead we will invest in growth through TH2, continue

to be active from an M&A perspective but, importantly, focus

on the core business performance.

Delivering to our customers’ needs every day is not easy, yet we

are here to ensure our customers have an incredible experience

– be it for hours, days or buying a motorhome for the rest of

their life.

Thank you to all those who have supported the team and

business over the last 12 months.

Grant Webster

CEO

Sustainability – www.thlsustainability.com

Momentum continues to build within the business from a

sustainability perspective. We have a microsite, which we

encourage shareholders to review to find more detail on

what we have been doing and how we are progressing

towards our goals.

There is no doubt this is an area where we are still in learning

mode. Some of the goals we set last year seem a real stretch,

as we have progressed towards them in the last 12 months;

however, that has only increased our focus and attention.

We are not yet moving our goals.

The most substantive project has been the work on electric

vehicles. We have had to continue to challenge ourselves

and assess whether the investment and time will provide an

appropriate return or whether we should sit back and watch

the market develop itself. The conclusion today is that we

push forward at pace. The reasons are twofold. Firstly, we do

see long-term competitive advantage that we are developing.

We are learning how to build a motorhome on an EV chassis

that maximises the returns for the business and customers.

Secondly, we see a raft of other spinoffs for the broader

business and combustion engine motorhomes.

During the year, we will conduct our first life cycle assessment

of a motorhome, using appropriate international standards.

From what we can see, this has not been conducted globally

– or at least not in a public manner. We will be open with our

findings and share the lessons with the broader industry,

creating a starting benchmark. We are confident this

approach will create greater value for all thl stakeholders

in the medium-term.

Responsible Tourism

Over the past year we have continued our involvement

in the broader industry, and we take our community

responsibilities seriously.

In December 2017 we launched Kiwi Pledge, an opportunity

for us to educate and challenge customers, both domestic

and international, on how they should behave and conduct

themselves whilst in New Zealand. This has evolved as an

industry and we expect there will some exciting developments

shared publicly in the next few months.

We have also been closely engaged with the government’s

working group on freedom, or responsible, camping.

We will continue to engage at an industry level across the

markets we operate.

Tourism and Market Outlook

The following comments provide an overview of our outlook for

rentals and sales in each of our key operating markets.

MOMENTUM CONTINUES TO BUILD WITHIN THE

BUSINESS FROM A SUSTAINABILITY PERSPECTIVE.

14 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018 15

Last year we launched our inaugural Sustainability
Report, and we’re pleased to bring you the FY18

edition contemporaneously with this shareholder

review. Once again, it’s been compiled in line with

the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards.

ON THE ROAD

TO TRUE

SUSTAINABILITY.

Here are some of our sustainability highlights

from this year. We’re making progress and

enjoying the process.

For thl, this is the year we have started walking our talk in

terms of integrating sustainability into the thl culture; the

progress we’ve made in the last 12 months indicates we’re

certainly travelling in the right direction. Over time sustainable

practice and process will be a core component of our plans,

strategies and initiatives – in many cases, it already is.

Taking responsibility

Publishing our FY18 Sustainability Report online is, in itself,

indicative of the momentum we have generated this year

towards a global culture of sustainability within the thl group.

But, in addition to that internal awareness, is a very real sense

of the responsibility we feel as a global tourism operator; not

only to actively reduce our own global carbon footprint and

community impact as a business, but to take responsibility for

our travellers too.

Our size makes it incumbent on us to lead the industry and be

at the forefront of the sustainability discussion – and we are

doing just that.

THERE IS A VERY REAL SENSE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY

WE FEEL AS A GLOBAL TOURISM OPERATOR, NOT

ONLY TO ACTIVELY REDUCE OUR OWN GLOBAL

CARBON FOOTPRINT AND COMMUNITY IMPACT AS A

BUSINESS, BUT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR

TRAVELLERS TOO.

We’re one of the largest RV rental businesses in the world,

with 208,000 customers each year travelling through and into

communities in our vehicles, and going on thl experiences.

That has an impact; through GHG emissions generally, and

also directly, on the infrastructure in the communities that

they visit.

A part of the solution

We want that impact to be as positive as possible and, where

it isn’t, we’re actively taking steps to be part of the solution,

not part of the problem.

For the first time this year, we’re able to accurately

measure our carbon footprint across the entire business,

USA included. Understanding that key metric means we

can start to implement solutions to reduce and even reverse

that footprint, globally.

We’ve established a carbon management plan to reduce our

absolute carbon emissions worldwide by 20%, by 2025. It’s a big

goal, particularly as the business is growing, but we will not use

that growth as an excuse to not do the right thing. We’re also

actively engaged in global research to help us respond to the

way the climate is changing.

Community matters

Freedom, or responsible, camping and its impact on

communities is another area where we’re stepping up to

the plate. One of our major initiatives this year is undertaking

a detailed community impact assessment, which we are doing

first in New Zealand. This will help us fine-tune a framework

we can use across the world to understand the impact of

responsible travel and devise solutions with specific

communities, to minimise the negatives and accelerate

the positives.

This programme is already in place and the community

feedback is very encouraging. We’ve also introduced our Kiwi

Pledge initiative, which is getting some traction. Travelling

responsibly also includes keeping our drivers and others safe

on the roads. The installation of telematics in our Australian

RV fleet, and its resulting success, is a blueprint for our

self-drive operations globally.

There’s much more we’re doing – and you’ll find the detail in the

Sustainability Report 2018 online. We’re proud of our efforts

this year, and the early sustainability success we are seeing is

energising the business to reach our robust sustainability goals.

Keep challenging us on them, they are important for us all.

16 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018 17

QA
Your results are at the lower end of the forecast,

yet historically you have overachieved your estimates.

What should we read into that?

There is nothing to read into it. We have been growing at a

significant rate and expect to continue to grow over time.

We are always keen to be as transparent as we realistically

can with stakeholders, including the areas we have for

improvement. The result is a good one, with areas where we

can improve.

The DRP for the final dividend is intended to be

fully underwritten and will be fully imputed for

NZ shareholders. What do we read into that, given

your comments on debt and the performance of

the company?

We have had strong support for a fully underwritten DRP and

we continue our focus on growing the company and, therefore,

the returns to shareholders. So, no change there. What the DRP

would allow us to do this time is, in essence, use that equity to

invest in TH2 without impacting those shareholders who have

expectations for a paid dividend of this magnitude.

The imputation is simply a case of us using the imputation

credits we have available. The New Zealand earnings, as a

proportion of the total business, have been high enough this

year for us to be able to pass on this imputation.

Are there more growth options for thl and what do

they look like?

Yes, there are more options. The reality is they are most likely

to be in the RV space, more broadly, and most likely overseas.

We are always looking and ensuring we target opportunities

that we know we can deliver on, either in the short term or

longer term.

TH2 – how can we be so confident?

We have to think about the scale of the USA RV industry...

Thor is a fantastic partner who knows that market well. Before

heading into the JV, we both conducted research into customer

needs and wants in this space. Based on that research, and

the success we have had with Roadtrippers user numbers,

CamperMate user numbers in New Zealand, and the success

of our telematics work in Australia, we just needed the linking

platform, which is Cosmos. Bringing those together in one

group, with the channel knowledge of Thor, is exciting.

TH2 – when does investment stop?

During the creation of the JV, we believed the business would

be a loss-making venture for at least the first two years. In

the last four months, as the business has come together, the

teams have worked on the detail of the rollout plans, the next

stages of product development and a deeper review of the

customer propositions. All this led to an agreement with Thor

that early stage larger investment will be the best avenue to

success for this business. Around the world, these kinds of

businesses need to lose money at the outset, as they look to

acquire customers. We will be doing that at a greater rate than

originally conceived.

It is important for shareholders to note that we did make a

one-off gain of $24.3M on the TH2 transaction. We didn’t

receive cash; we contributed assets and IP into the business for

a 50% shareholding. We invested a minimal amount of cash for

a business that has such potential. The business warrants the

additional funds that we are investing in FY19.

Technically there is no compulsion for thl or Thor to invest

any more in TH2, beyond the capital already contributed

and the forecasted capital over the coming 12 months. Thus,

both shareholders will be in a position to make their own

determination based on the agreed direction at that time.

Debt – Are you comfortable with the current approach

to debt and debt levels?

We have said for some time now that we are comfortable in

this business with debt to EBITDA around 2.0x. We are around

that and, yes, still comfortable. There are some other points

to consider from a debt perspective today. Firstly, we have a

variety of business models today and they really need separate

thinking from a debt and leverage perspective, which then

rolls up into an overall country approach. Simplistically, the

high assets base rentals business can be leveraged to a certain

degree, and we should be comfortable somewhere around 35%

equity for that business. The digital start-ups, like TH2, should

be treated differently and have a much higher level of equity.

Different again is the vehicle sales business, which normally

would have an even lower level of equity than thl does today.

We continue to complete sensitivity tests on the business,

scenario plan and are prepared to adjust as necessary.

INTERVIEW WITH CEO GRANT WEBSTER

1918 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018

A NEW LANDSCAPE.
The creation of the TH2 joint venture is a game changing

initiative for thl, allowing the business to recognise the

value of its IP and expand its reach.

Driving this, and future opportunities in this new world, is an

enhanced business model supported by top down customer

specific segment generation and bottom up enhanced systems.

Here we introduce you to TH2 and explore the functional

aspects of the business model and the contribution they

make to the overall business.

2120 thl Shareholder Annual Review 2018

WHAT IS
TH2CONNECT

LLC?

TH2Connect LLC is the joint venture business formed in March

2018 by shareholders thl and Thor Industries. Operating as a

50:50 JV, the business is technically headquartered in the USA,

but also has teams operating in New Zealand and Australia.

Close to half the team are based in New Zealand at any one

point in time.

The business is focused on leveraging the digital assets, which

were combined at the outset, and creating a digital platform

for RV users globally.

The different components of TH2 provide a variety of products

and services to owners and businesses across the industry.

thl sees this business as a critical component of our future;

an opportunity to engage broadly in the RV ecosystem.

Other

TH2Connect also has capability in the telematics space

within the RV industry and is building a broad skill set of other

customer-centric tools; utilising the power of the component

businesses and the support of the joint venture shareholders.

Future focus

TH2 will invest circa $20M USD in the business in the coming

financial year through an aggressive customer acquisition

and product development strategy. Customer acquisition

costs for ABE, the central product, are expected to be 2:1

in the coming 12 months. Expectations for FY20 and beyond

deliverables are now higher than the original business case

expectations.

Where could TH2 go?

The team within TH2 have a powerful vision, the core

technology and the resources to establish a foothold as a

digital platform for the RV industry globally.

The target number of customers is not in the hundreds or

thousands over the long term, but millions. Roadtrippers

is already there!

The component businesses

ABE (working title)

‘ABE’ (the project title only) is an app, which will have a phase

one launch in September 2018. ABE is focused on meeting

RV owners’ needs by providing an all-encompassing app that

allows the owner to manage the asset (servicing, repairs,

monitoring), change behaviour (warning notifications for

hazards, telematics and insurance options), and engage with

experiences (RV focused trip planning, booking and holiday

management).

Mighway

The leading New Zealand peer-to-peer RV rental

operation also operates in the USA, with ambitions for

further expansion.

Roadtrippers

A leading web and app based travel planning tool,

Roadtrippers provides deep insights to provide just the

right experience for your preferences, both pre and during

your trip. Roadtrippers is focused on all self-drive customers,

with global ambitions.

CamperMate

The leading New Zealand camping app, CamperMate

also operates in Australia and is a motorhome and camping

based app for in-trip use, providing points of interest across

multiple categories.

Tomo (working title)

Tomo is the machine-learning database tools that sit

underneath the Roadtrippers and CamperMate experiences.

Tomo is the centre point for the based insights business.

Cosmos (working title)

Cosmos is the underlying platform for TH2. Developed over

the last three years within thl, Cosmos is focused on providing

asset management, fleet management, booking capability,

operations workflow capability and customer management

all within one system, focused on the RV industry needs.

Cosmos launches shortly in New Zealand and Australia.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The TH2 business is at a different stage of development

and needs a different set of KPIs. The kind of elements

we will look to report on in the future include:

> Customer acquisition numbers

> Roadtrippers user numbers

> Cost of customer acquisition vs target

> Fixed costs versus target

FY2019 GOALS AND TARGETS

> ‘ABE’ launch in September 2018

> Phase two launch in March 2019

> Roadtrippers Plus launch performance

> Total development costs in line with expectation

> Roadtrippers revenue against targets

BUILD/

GROWING CAPABILITY

Strategies

In investing in our core RV

assets, we are leveraging the

strength of the global group

through a combination of

build/buy strategies across

our geographies.

Our build strategy is focused

on partnering with our JV

partner, Action Manufacturing,

to design and manufacture

for the NZ / AU market. We

continue to build on the skills

and capability embedded in

Action Manufacturing, with

over 50% of total RVs being

procured through our JV

in FY18.

Within our buy strategy

we are exploring global

procurement options across

the network. Through a

combination of leveraging our

group purchasing power and

exploring new chassis options

we are looking to achieve

commercial benefits.

Our flex-fleet initiative

continues to be embedded,

delivering operational and

capital benefits. In FY18 we

purchased 30% of our fleet

as flex, with continued focus

in FY19.

Goals delivered

Total investment of $201M

purchases to maintain fleet

resulted in fleet growth of 6%

vs FY17 to meet increasing

demand across markets. This

translated to over 2,700 RV

purchases across all markets.

Focus on innovation with

technology is continuing to

deliver through telematics

within purchased fleet.

Ongoing positive driving

metrics have been

demonstrated, including

reduced speed and road

breaches. This has resulted

in recognition in Australia

where thl received AMIA

Fleet Safety Award.

A specific focus in managing

our fleet in the El Monte

business has been on reducing

overall fleet age. With a

continuing reduction from

2.4 years FY17 to 1.5 years

FY18 average age, we have

seen a reduction in repairs and

maintenance costs.

Future focus

FY19 and beyond, focusing

on continuing to embed

current strategies and further

leveraging technology and size

of global group.

With our build strategy, thl

continues to benefit from the

Action Manufacturing design-

led mentality, with refreshed

modular RV designs for the

Australasian market.

The global buy strategy

is focused on leveraging

increasing competition in the

RV wholesale market through

the introduction of several new

chassis to create both price

and specification opportunities

for thl.

Additionally, in delivering on

the strategic imperative of

innovating with technology,

FY19 will focus on continuing

to embed telematics across

the fleet, with trials in NZ/AU,

and growing expertise in the

EV space through investment

and consolidation of outcomes

from FY18 pilots.

Strategies

We have established a strong

rental footprint across NZ,

AU and the US and we see

further global opportunities

within this space. Within our

core business we are focused

on operational optimisation

and demand generation across

these markets.

With the overall tourism

sector in the markets

we operate forecasting

growth at between 3-5%,

we are focusing on demand

generation programmes to

best capitalise on these trends.

These programmes include an

enhanced direct marketing

approach, new product

propositions for growing

segments and optimised

pricing programme.

Additionally, to deliver

continued operational

optimisation within the

US business, we are

building momentum in

project Real Velocity.

Goals delivered

Overall, 24% rental income

growth delivered through

combination of full year

El Monte performance (16%)

and strong underlying business

performance (8%) driven by

strong performance in

AU Rentals.

Overall hire days have

increased in FY18 by 16%, with

thl delivering over 1.1 million

hire days across the Group.

This increase has been

driven by a combination of

fleet growth in NZ, AU and

improvements in utilisation

in the US.

With our first full year

operating the El Monte

business, we have

achieved strong results

with improvements in

utilisation, yield and repairs

& maintenance costs, driving

8.7% ROFE improvement.

Future focus

In line with our strategy, our

focus in FY19 is on demand

generation across our core

markets and integrating

the US businesses to deliver

synergies.

We are building an enhanced

direct marketing approach in

AU, which will be leveraged

across our other markets. With

the focus on building a scalable

playbook, including more agile

marketing processes, we will

ensure we are getting the

right message, to the right

person, at the right time. To

complement this approach,

we have a focused channel

strategy, collaborating with

trade partners to respond to

changing trends in origin

of travellers.

Investing in technology with

Project Cosmos will deliver

improvements in our search,

booking and pricing systems.

This will be initially rolled

out in AU/NZ, with further

opportunity in the US market.

CORE CAPABILITY WITH

GROWTH POTENTIAL

Strategies

A strong RV sales business is a

core component to delivering

on the thl model. We need to

have a strong connection to

ensure what we build/buy will

resonate with customers.

To deliver effectively in this

space we operate across a

mix of retail/wholesale

channels, depending on a

mix of market infrastructure,

resource, capability and

product positioning.

We are continuing to

increase our volume of

sales globally, which results

in an increase in inventory

holdings. A core factor in

delivering improvements in

sales is building capability,

which has included a focus

on our distribution network

and maximising our RV

Supercentres. Additional

focus on the right skills and

number of sales resource

is shaping our recruiting

approach in this area.

Goals delivered

thl delivered a 16% increase in

total sales in FY18 across the

NZ, AU and US businesses. This

included strong sales growth

in a flat US market resulting

in increasing share and

maintaining a strong number

one position in the NZ market.

This was achieved while

delivering a 27% increase in

total revenue.

The RV Sales site in Melbourne

continued to grow, with this

now being the largest single

site for sales for the business.

Total inventory levels

increased with the increasing

sales volumes. This was also

impacted by operational

issues in the last quarter,

affecting NZ and El Monte

sales numbers.

Future focus

In FY19 we are continuing

to focus on driving growth

in vehicle sales through a

combination of approaches.

This includes growing our

distribution network across

all three markets, utilising

improved online presence,

strengthened dealer network

and recruitment for key

leadership positions to

drive growth.

To ensure we deliver in this

segment, we are tracking

ourselves internally across key

metrics including stock turn,

pricing relative to market,

add-on sales per vehicle sold

and real depreciation rates.

The real depreciation rate

reflects the reduction in the

fleet asset value across the

full life of both rental and sale,

therefore encapsulating the

age/condition of the vehicle

post rental and the sales

margin achieved.

New Zealand
The EBIT performance of $25.7M was an increase of over

6% on the prior year. EBIT margin was 19% and the ROFE

was 17.9%, versus 18.3% last year. Last year we had indicated

that we expected ROFE to settle for this business around

17%. Of note, the EBIT increase for the year is on top of a

nearly 50% increase in the FY17 year.

The business is performing very well against historical norms

and is well positioned for further growth this year.

Vehicle sales from rental fleet (core and flex) was 464 units,

down from 546 the prior year; however, we sold 204 additional

units through the Jucy fleet sales, fleet direct to sale from

new or Just go and trade-ins. In addition, we had 104 units

carried over into the FY19. The fleet purchases and sales for

FY19 are being adjusted to allow for these units; that is the

benefit of the flexible fleet proposition we operate today –

we can adjust to situations in a far more flexible manner

than historically.

There is no concern with the New Zealand vehicle sales

market at present. The 104 carryover units was ~70% due

to operational issues, where we didn’t process the vehicles in

time for sale in the last quarter, and 30% related to excess

numbers of certain vehicle types planned to sell at one time.

Of note, there were opportunities to sell many of these units

to other operators in the market and we chose to remain

focused on the longer term goals and outcomes.

The flex-fleet pod product is being effectively sold by

Action Manufacturing in a variety of channels and product

variations. We will continue to use this method to try

different chassis types, to maximise both rental and

sales opportunities.

The business model in New Zealand continues to grow. We see

fleet repairs as a core capability requirement for the business

and are working on opportunities with Action Manufacturing

to expand our physical space and capabilities to do more

internal work ourselves and expand our external workshop

capabilities. Retail accessories sales increased 18% in the

last financial year – another indicator that we are gaining a

reputation as the one-stop-shop for everything motorhome

related in New Zealand.

Underlying the performance in New Zealand is a business

that is incredibly busy throughout the year, growing year-

on-year at peak. We have a need to continue to improve

operationally this high season and have the capability and

capacity to do so.

From a competitive standpoint, the market has remained

stable in the last 12 months. The McRent business

commenced, as expected, but there have been no other

competitors of note.

From a leadership perspective, Matt Harvey has moved

back to New Zealand and has led the business over the

last few months, with Gordon Hewston, who was

General Manager, taking the leadership position at

El Monte in the USA.

We have an expectation of an increase in EBIT in FY19 for

New Zealand rentals, on a like-for-like basis.

Australia

The Australian EBIT result of AUD$10.0M was up from $7.7M

in the prior year – an increase of 30%, or 35% in NZD terms.

The business has been improving year-on-year and this year

achieved a ROFE of 13.3%

Total vehicle sales, including flex-fleet, for the year were 664,

compared to 501 in the prior period – an increase of 33%.

The Melbourne RV Sales Centre is nearly three years old

and is now our largest single site for RV sales in Australia.

The improvement in the Australian business also reflects

the benefits of a highly responsive approach to vehicle

purchases and sales. We had issues with the quantum of

4WD fleet in the prior year and responded quickly, minimising

any negative impact.

Fleet operating expense cost control is now set as a

fundamental foundation for acceptable performance in

the Australian business.

There are still opportunities to grow revenue, which we are

exploring. The business will conduct a deep review of the

business model in the coming financial year to enable this.

The expectation is that we develop more revenue

opportunities for the business over the medium term.

From a competitive standpoint, we have seen increases in

competitors within the 4WD category, in particular. The rest

of the market seems reasonably stable, with some small

growth in small operators in regional areas.

Road Bear
Road Bear remains the highest performing business within

the thl RV businesses from a ROFE perspective. Although

down on the prior year high of 28%, the FY18 result of 25%

was still in line with expectations.

A record sales year, again, for the business, with just on

750 units sold throughout the year. Margins were down

slightly, due to the impact of a reduction in the rebates

from manufacturers.

Operating costs were higher than the prior year, as the

business continues to ensure the appropriate processes are

in place for the size of the business today.

The business did have a one-off negative impact for the

settlement of a legal dispute and a smaller one-off gain from

the sale of the Orlando property.

Revenue continued to grow, with rental revenue up 2% in

USD terms and vehicle sales up 21%. EBIT, at $8.7M USD, was

down 4% on the prior year, reflecting the issues noted above.

Rental revenue for the second half was down on the prior year,

slightly, which was primarily due to the earlier Easter period.

El Monte

The result reflects the first full financial year of thl ownership

of the business. Comparisons are, therefore, difficult to make

to the prior year as a whole.

The repositioning of El Monte in the international markets

has gone well and growth in bookings from the core European

markets has been strong. The yield associated with those

bookings was below expectations. The purchase of new fleet

in FY18 was the largest in recent history for El Monte. The

benefits are reflected in significantly improved customer

satisfaction metrics and lower fleet operating costs, which

have reduced significantly.

Vehicle sales has had to transform its operation and it is

a work in progress to meet the high thl goals. The vehicles

for sale on the El Monte sites are much newer than the last

few years and, thus, come with a higher price tag and lower

mileage. This requires a change in marketing and selling

style. The average sell price has increased in line with these

expectations; however, volumes have been below expectation,

but above historical norms.

From a management perspective, Gordon Hewston, who was

General Manager for New Zealand Rentals & Sales, is now

the General Manager for El Monte. Gordon started in June

2018 and has commenced a new project in the business –

Project Real Velocity. Project Real Velocity is about engaging

the whole El Monte business, and large parts of thl, to enable

a faster pace of development in certain areas, which align

with thl’s direction. Over the coming 12 months, El Monte

will review the franchise and dealership model to enable

growth, expand vehicle sales opportunities and complete

further integration activities within the broader thl business.

The finance ERP, D365 and Cosmos booking system are also

expected to be implemented throughout the financial year.

Tourism

The Waitomo business has had another impressive growth

year, driven by growth in international visitor arrivals (IVA).

The conversion to retail and food and beverage revenue

worked well, and EBIT margins remained high.

Kiwi Experience again performed below expectations. There is

definitely a drop in backpacker arrivals within the age bracket

that Kiwi attracts; however, there is potentially also a loss of

some market share to competitors. We have confidence that

there is growth in the coming year, due to cost reductions,

which are within our control, and a number of new marketing

and sales initiatives.

This is the last year we will report the separate business

units within the USA – we have a more combined approach

to fleet purchases, sales and operating fleet over the coming

year. Along with an increase in planned combined operating

activity, this will make it very difficult to segregate individual

brand performance on a full P&L basis.

The market has been mixed in the USA, with domestic

demand, in particular, showing a lot more volatility than

previously experienced.

The vehicle sales market still seems strong from a retail

perspective, although dealers appear to be heavily stocked

and, thus, wary of the months ahead. This is creating some

more competitive tension, although nothing that is of serious

concern to the business.

TH2

TH2 was formed in March 2018. The thl 50% share of the four

month result was a loss of $2.7M NZD.

The business has been focused on the development of the

technology to launch the ‘ABE’ product (the consumer-facing

brand name is in development) and the launch of Cosmos into

thl. The Roadtrippers business has been developing TOMO for

tourism products and a deeper customer offer to enable a

paid Roadtrippers Plus product.

From a day-to-day business development perspective, there

has been a focus on the creation of TH2 as a standalone

business, with appropriate accounting policies, development

processes, business planning and KPI reporting.

Further detailed planning has been conducted to create a

FY19 plan, including further detailed customer research into

the product offers and pricing. The result of the extensive

planning is a business plan that will likely see the business

operate to a loss of circa $20M USD in the FY19 year. The

opportunity is seen as significant enough to add more crew

to the team earlier, to enable greater growth. The move to

a freemium model for commencement of the ‘ABE’ product

creates initial losses; however, is expected to create a larger

customer base in the first year.

This has been discussed in some detail within the Chairman

and CEO reports.

Action Manufacturing

The Action Manufacturing result of $2.9M (thl’s 50%) was

below the prior year result of $3.1M, however reflects a lower

cost of build for the thl rentals business.

The underlying productivity, stock control and non-thl sales

were all ahead of last year. The business has grown exports

to Australia in the year – both with the emergency services

vehicles and the small parcel delivery vehicle market.

The business has started to suffer from a lack of capacity

and has entered into a lease for additional space in Hamilton

to service demand. The forecasts for this business are

very positive.

Action Manufacturing Acquisition

Action Manufacturing has recently signed a conditional

agreement to purchase Fairfax Industries in New Zealand.

Fairfax is a leader in the manufacture of refrigerated truck

bodies and trailers; operating for over 40 years.

thl and Action Manufacturing both have synergy

opportunities with the business. thl will contribute circa

$1.5M to Action Manufacturing to assist with funding

the transaction.

The transaction is expected to complete by 31 August 2018.

Just go UK

The Just go result was $0.2M NZD, down on the $0.5M

delivered in the prior year. The primary driver of the lower

result was due to Just go holding a number of vehicles, which

had been previously ordered for thl. The vehicles were held

to enable thl to sell the large motorhomes purchased from

Jucy rentals.

The outlook for the business is positive and we expect growth

in the coming year.

IMPORTANT NOTE

TH2 Joint Venture

TH2, a joint venture between thland Thor

Industries, was formed as of 1 March 2018.

There are a number of elements of this transaction

that influence the accounts this year. The key items

we believe are of significant note are:

•There was a one-off gain created from the

contribution of assets to the JV. The gain

recognised was $23.1M NZD, net of transaction

costs.Where appropriate, we have shown the

situation for the company with and without this

gain on contribution.

•The balance sheet value of thl’s shareholding in

TH2’s accounts is higher than $25.9M. thl has

only recognised 50% of the gain on contribution

of assets, in line with GAAP.

•The losses associated with Mighway,

Roadtrippers Australasia and the shareholding thl

had in Roadtrippers USA are included within the

TH2 result from 1 March. There is, therefore,

minimal comparative analysis that can be

completed on those business units.

General

•All financials are in NZ dollars unless stated otherwise

(throughout presentation).

•All comparisons are against prior corresponding period

(pcp).

•The average NZD:AUD cross-rate (average of the 12

month rates) for FY18 was 0.9420 (FY17 0.9706).

•The average NZD:USD cross-rate (average of the 12

month rates) for FY18 was0.7313 (FY17 0.7331).

•Tax Changes. The changes to the Federal Tax system

in the USA has created several changes to the

calculation of tax in the USA. A slide has been included

to detail the key changes. A one-off gain of $1.8M was

recognised in the accounts relating to this change.

•Return On Funds Employed (ROFE) is a non-GAAP

measure that thluses to measure performance of

business units, and the Group, in relation to the

financial resources utilised. ROFE is calculated as

EBIT divided by average monthly net funds employed.

Net funds employed are measured as total assets, less

non-interest bearing liabilities and cash on hand. The

calculation is done in NZ dollars.

•The balance sheet is converted at the closing rate as

at 30 June 2018. The USD cross rate used was

0.6741 (FY17 -0.7540); the AUD cross rate used was

0.9180 (FY17 -0.9767).

•The 2018 financial year includes the first full-year

result for El Monte RV, which was acquired on 1

January 2017.

CHAIRMAN’S COMMENT

This year we

delivered

another

record result -

a pre-one-off

Net Profit

After Tax

(NPAT)

increase of

24%

We are now embarking on a major step change. We are

in the midst of reallocating financial and intellectual

capital to global growth. Our core values are unchanged

and we respect our heritage, but we are no longer simply

a New Zealand story.

We intend making this transition while maintaining a

positive income distribution policy, but the focus is on

global growth, which requires reinvestment, and there

will be times of consolidation to create and execute on

the global platform. thlhas substantive global

opportunity in this context and this is the next chapter in

our story.

We need to consider new medium-term goals for the

business. The underlying assumptions for the 2020

NPAT goal of $50M haven’t materially changed. We will

reset a new goal. It is too soon to set that goal, but we

will set it openly and deliver. The new goal will be

substantially higher.

CEO COMMENT

The pre-one-off

EBIT

improvement of

33% on the prior

corresponding

year represents

a great growth

rate; however,

we still had

opportunities

and have an

intense focus on

addressing

shortfalls

The creation of TH2 would be the highlight of the year,

given the potential of this business and its new

initiatives. We have made the decision to invest in this

business in FY19 to create an even better product and

to develop the market faster. We will invest around

$15M NZD into the business (thlshare) in FY19.

It has been another substantive year for the thlteam,

shareholders and other stakeholders.

We are driven to go even further. Our profits are

increasing, year-on-year, dividends increasing and our

balance sheet is strong. We have so much more

potential; it is an exciting business.

Thank you to all those who have supported the team

and business over the last 12 months.

•The core rentals and sales business is where

the majority of funds are employed and is the

focus for the ROFE calculations for the

business.

•A target ROFE for all fleet types remains in

place at 14-15%. Any exclusions to this

hurdle are minimal and have stringent

scrutiny.

•The Australian and El Monte RV businesses

are currently below expectations and new

fleet purchases are approved on the basis

that they are accretive to the ROFE

performance of the business.

•The tourism businesses continue to deliver

strong ROFE performance and EBIT

margins.

•As the business develops, the focus will not

move from ROFE for the core; however, we

will need to acknowledge the different short

term metrics required for an entity such as

TH2.

USA Tax Update

22

The changes in the Federal Tax system, which came into place in January 2018,

have had the following key impacts on the business in FY18:

•The accelerated depreciation rules allow for 100% depreciation for capital

items and apply to the thlpurchase of RVs in the USA.

•There is a cash flow benefit to thlin the vicinity of $4M in the current calendar

year. The P&L shows the expected tax to pay, with the balancing item being an

increase in the deferred tax balance sheet item.

•The Road Bear business sells the majority of its fleet within 12 months and,

thus, the depreciation recovered on sale balances the accelerated depreciation

in a 12 month period, creating close to no impact.

•The Federal Tax rate reduced to 21% as at January 2018, which created a one-

off gain of $1.8M NZD for the company, as the deferred tax balance was

revalued down.

•The USA total tax rate used by thlfor forecasting is 29%.

•Given the losses in TH2 (a look-through entity for tax) and the accelerated tax

rules, we do not expect to pay any USA cash tax in FY19. The P&L will reflect

the expected tax due position for the company as a result of the company’s

operations.

•We consider the business in geographical

terms, but also in the elements of the core

RV business model.

•This year we commence reporting on a

business model basis, as well as the

business unit presentations.

•In total across the group, we purchased or

produced over 2,700 RVs.

•Globally, the three key chassis suppliers are:

•Mercedes, Ford, Toyota.

•We purchase the completed RVs from five

different suppliers across the globe, with in

excess of 50% coming from our Action

Manufacturing joint venture in New Zealand.

•We are exploring group global procurement

opportunities with chassis suppliers, which

has been difficult historically due to the

regional operating nature of those suppliers.

•There are several new chassis variants that

have been launched recently and we are

positive about the degree of competition in

that market, which should create both price

and specification opportunities for thl.

•Global hire day growth of 15.5%.

•Assessing these figures on an annual basis

will provide shareholders with a stronger

sense of the direction of the business as a

whole. We will note key influencing items, as

appropriate.

•The Real Depreciation Rate (RDR) is the

measure of the difference between the

purchase price and sale price of the vehicles

sold in the financial year. It allows for no gain

on sale or costs associated with the sale or

management of the vehicle. We consider the

RDR is a measurement that is most

beneficial to view over time.

•We also consider the RDR is at an

appropriate level for each of the businesses.

•The first full year of El Monte has skewed the

growth in hire days and average yield in the

business.

Ongoing growth

•The FY17 growth, of over 50%, in EBIT provided

the foundation for the FY18 result, which still

increased by 6% but was below expectations.

•Fleet sales were hindered in the last quarter by

operational issues, with stock for sale not being

processed in time for sale; 104 units were carried

over into FY19, beyond expectation.

•The sales numbers need to be reviewed with total

non-fleet sales. There were 204 units sold not

included in the normal fleet numbers. Total sales

for all vehicles was up on the prior year.

•ROFE has remained relatively stable, just short of

18%, with the excess fleet held at year-end. We

noted last year that we expected the NZ business

ROFE to stabilise around 17%. We are

comfortable continuing this expectation.

•Retail accessory sales have increased by 18%

over the prior year.

•Plans are in development to increase the capacity

and capability to complete more internal and

external repair work in-house. This needs to be a

core capability of the business. The recent

conditional purchase of Fairfax Industries by

Action Manufacturing will assist in this project.

•Forward bookings into the 18/19 high season are

positive, with strong growth expected on the prior

year.

Moving forward at pace

•The EBIT growth and ROFE improvement

reflect a significant effort from the Australian

team over the last few years.

•Fleet levels were tightly controlled.

•Buy-backs increased by 30% over the prior

period.

•Operational cost control focus is now

embedded in the business. Fleet costs as a

percentage of revenue reduced in the year.

•Sales from the RV sales site in Melbourne

continue to grow. This is now the largest

single site for sales for the business.

•Forward bookings suggest rental demand is

positive into the 18/19 high season.

•The 4WD northern States high season, that

we are in now, has also been positive.

•Competitor activity in the larger motorhome

fleet remains stable. There are increased

numbers of small regional and 4WD

competitors with a local presence.

A strong ROFE and business model

•The Road Bear business continues to

perform above global benchmarks.

•This year reflects a one-off cost (a settled

legal dispute) and a smaller one-off gain on

the sale of the Orlando property.

•Vehicle sales was another record volume

year, with a 14% increase over the prior

year.

•Margins on sale of vehicles for Road Bear

are down, with a lower rebate revenue from

chassis manufacturers (impacting the whole

industry).

•Rental revenue for the second half was

down on the prior year, primarily with Easter

being earlier than the prior year.

•The Seattle location continues to grow.

•The Orlando move to the El Monte site has

been successfully completed.

•This is the last year we will report the Road

Bear and El Monte businesses separately,

as we move to a more consolidated

approach to fleet and operations.

Project Real Velocity

•Gordon Hewston, who was General Manager for

New Zealand, has commenced as General

Manager for the El Monte RV business.

•A new project, titled Real Velocity, has

commenced, to pick up the pace on the

transition of the business to thlmetric

performance.

•The focus of the project is:

•ROFE improvement through higher utilisation

and revenue management.

•Increased network opportunities through the

dealer model.

•New processes aligned with thl D365 and

Cosmos systems.

•Operationally, the business performed well, with

repairs and maintenance costs well down on

expectations and prior performance.

•Rental revenue was marginally ahead of

expectations for the year.

•Vehicle sales revenue was below expectations,

resulting in a slightly higher closing fleet value.

This is a result of a shortfall in sales team

numbers and a readjustment in approach to

higher value, newer vehicles.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE FY19

43

There is a number of open decisions in the business, and potential M&A activity,

which will have an impact on the financial direction of the business for the year

from a capital expenditure perspective. We have options available for additional

fleet investment in various parts of the world, which have not yet been finalised.

As an indicative guide only, we would expect a baseline capital fleet expenditure

in the range of $190-230M. We expect fleet sales proceeds to be in the range of

$145-165M; again, depending on the options taken for total fleet increases.

We expect to be able to provide more detailed information at the Annual Meeting

in October.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

44

Macro-Environment

•Periodically, thlreviews its revenue metrics

against a series of economic indicators for

key source markets.

•There are different correlations in each

market; however, generally, consumer

confidence and GDP growth in source

markets are the key leading indicators to

revenue growth.

•German economic indicators support growth

to all operating markets.

•UK consumer confidence and GDP growth

indicate some growth to New Zealand and

Australia, despite uncertainty around Brexit.

•Exchange rate movements have less of an

impact on visitor numbers for New Zealand

and Australia, but do impact spend. The USA

does have a higher correlation to exchange

rate movements relative to close alternative

markets, particularly Canada.

•Domestic indicators remain positive for

Australia and New Zealand. We don’t have

appropriate indicators for the USA domestic

economy that provide clear correlations at

this point in time.

Profit Guidance

We expect the core business to show

growth in revenue and EBIT in the FY19

year.

This will be offset by the losses incurred

with the investment in TH2, which will be

circa $15M NZD before tax for thl’s 50%

share. This will directly impact the P&L in

FY19, but is seen as creating future value

for thl.

There is a potential one-off tax liability (as

referred to at the 2017 Annual Meeting),

which has not yet been determined in

terms of quantity or certainty.

With a number of M&A and business

changing activities still underway in the

business, we believe it is prudent to wait

until the Annual Meeting in October to

review the forecast position for the

Company.
