Total store network sales are the aggregate of sales of all Esquires branded coffee stores, whether franchised or owned, across the company’s global brand network. Cooks derives income from its franchised stores from
franchise related fees, primarily related to these sales levels as well as store sales for those stores directly owned by the company. Total network store sales, therefore, have a correlation to the portion of revenue earned
by Cooks Global Foods relating to recurring franchise fees. However, they are not and should not be confused with the revenue of Cooks Global Foods which is reported in its financial statements as the two do not directly
correlate.
EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION
HIGHLIGHTS
3
The recent restructuring of Cooks’ China operations and increased store numbers have significantly improved Cooks’
profitability outlook. Continued store growth and new region master franchises are expected in FY19.
UK & Ireland contribute 72%
1
of Cooks’ sales and have
grown strongly from new store growth and the ongoing
rebranding and store refurbishment.
Significant contributors to recent earnings variability are as follows:
China revenue has fallen but this is largely due to the
closure of stores as the region is restructured under the
new agreement with local partners.
Cost of Sales are broadly in line with movements in
revenue.
OPEX costs have reduced significantly (admin,
selling & distribution, management, travel) following
management’s focus on right-sizing the business.
Net loss before tax from continuing operations narrows to
$1.6 million from $3.6 million in the year earlier.
1
Actual sales in NZ$ for Q1 of FY19 = 71.87%.
2
Includes Progressive Processors and Esquires China. From 1 October 2017, Esquires China is treated as an associate and equity accounted. Cooks’ share of losses from Esquires China investment is included in the
net loss (from continuing operations) in FY18.

• The purchase of Mojo involves assuming up to NZ$5.3 million drawn debt while Cooks is also intending to refinance NZ$1.2 million
of existing bank borrowings from ANZ as part of the transaction. Cooks total funding sought is approximately NZ$20.5 million.
• Cooks is seeking the balance of up to NZ$14.0 million to be raised with the exact terms and structure yet to be confirmed while
Cooks’ undertakes market testing.
• NZ$4.3 million of new equity is intended to be raised through the balance of shares underwritten by Cooks Investment Holdings
Limited (interests associated with Keith Jackson) at $0.0775.
• The Mojo acquisition is conditional on at least NZ$2.2m of new Cooks shares being issued to the majority of the vendors of Mojo,
including Steven Gianoutsos.
• Cooks now intends to update shareholders of the proposed equity capital raising terms early next month.
1
Cooks is yet to confirm the structure and pricing terms for any equity capital raising. The proposed capital sources are intended for illustrative purposes only until Cooks finalises any capital raising terms following market
testing with investors.
CAPITAL SOURCES AND USES
Cooks is intending to fund the acquisition of Mojo through a mixture of
bank borrowings (existing borrowings of Mojo), Cooks’ shares issued to the Mojo
vendors and the balance from equity from new and existing shareholders.
10
Cooks delivered a strong 2018 financial year with Esquires opening in new
territories and growing sales
On a stand-alone basis Cooks is forecasting transition to generating
positive EBITDA in the current financial year
The proposed acquisition of Mojo will transform Cooks giving the combined
company:
- A global footprint of 144 branded stores in 16 countries and targeting
158 stores by the end of FY19
- A presence in New Z
ealand, a beach head in the US and positive
EBITDA for FY19
The acquisition will trigger a mo
ve to the NZX main board
Transaction conditional on capital raising
Cooks is well positioned and will be a stronger company with Mojo

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
19
Cooks’ Board believes
that the forecast finan-
cial information set out
in this presentation has
been prepared with due
care and attention, and
considers that the un-
derlying assumptions,
when taken as a whole,
are reasonable at the
time of preparation.
Key FY19 Cooks Forecast Assump-
tions
1. Cooks having 112 Esquires Coffee
stores by the end of March 2019 relative
to 93 as of 31 March 2018 and 101 at the
end of August 2018.
2. Cooks establishing one master fran-
chise in a new country territory and one
new regional franchise in the UK contrib-
uting to an overall total of NZ$1.9 million
of master franchise fees in FY19 (along
with the anticipated franchise fees from
opening a net 19 stores over the course
of FY19) relative to $1.4 million in FY18.
3. 12.5% growth in overall network sales
(including from new stores) driving in-
creased royalty and marketing income
of $2.8 million in FY19 relative to $2.3
million in FY18.
4. Product and merchandise sales vol-
umes consistent with the expected in-
crease in overall expected network sales
at pricing levels consistent with FY18.
5. Raw materials and consumable (costs
of goods sold) per unit / volume consis-
tent with costs in FY18 (i.e. no material
increase in costs).
6. Employee costs and other expenses
in-line with total expenses in FY18 after
adjusting for the expected increase in
stores numbers.
Basis of Preparation
The financial information has been based on information extracted from au-
dited financial statements of Cooks and un-audited and audited financial
statements of Mojo and other supplementary information including manage-
ment accounts and forecast financial information.
APPENDIX 1.
BASIS OF PREPARATION & FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS
20
Cooks’ Board considers that the above assumptions are the specific underlying
assumptions material to formulating the forecast financial information set out in
this presentation. This presentation does not set out the generic risk factors that
affect any company. Recipients should consider these matters when evaluating the
opportunity.
Key FY19 Mojo Forecast Assumptions and Transaction Assumptions
1. Mojo opening 4 new stores by 31 March 2019. One store has been opened as at 31 August 2018.
2. The average transaction values to increase by 2.5% compared to FY18 (adjusted for new stores).
3. No significant increase in occupancy, employment and other administration costs relative to FY18.
4. Satisfaction of all settlement conditions for the acquisition of Mojo. The forecasts have been prepared as if Mojo had been acquired on
1 April 2018. While settlement is not anticipated to occur until 31 October 2018, this is to illustrate the full year impact of the acquisition
of Mojo.
5. Benefits from cost savings and synergies have not been factored into the pro forma forecast information.
APPENDIX 1. (cont’d)
BASIS OF PREPARATION & FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS
21
Cooks Global Foods Limited (Cooks) standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is net profit before tax. Cooks has
used a non-GAAP profit measure of earnings (or losses) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, impairment of intangible
assets, acquisition and capital related costs, share based acquisition payments and foreign exchange gains and losses (normalised
EBITDA), when discussing financial performance in this investor presentation. The directors and management believe this measure
provides useful information as it is used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and to
allocate resources.
Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards)
and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP profit measures reported in this investor presentation may not be comparable
with those that other companies report and should not be viewed in isolation from, or considered as a substitute for, measures reported
by Cooks in accordance with NZ IFRS.
From the review of data relating to Mojo, Cooks believes that the calculation of normalised EBITDA for Mojo has been determined in a
manner consistent with the approach taken above by Cooks.
