TIL LOGISTICS GROUP ANNUAL MEETING SUMMARY AND VOTING RESULTS


TIL Logistics Group Limited (NZX: TLL) today held its first annual meeting since successful

completion of the reverse listing in December last year.


Since that time, the company has put in place a strong management structure and governance

arrangements, expanded its business operations with the acquisition of the Specialised Lifting and

Transport Group, and continued to build its customer base while delivering a significant year on

year uplift in its financial results.


The company is expecting EBITDA for FY19 to be between $28m and $32m, taking into account

the changes in the operating environment as previously advised, additional costs associated with

increased leasing of trucks and the opening of new warehouses, and includes a partial year

contribution from new acquisitions.


Chairman of TIL Logistics, Trevor Janes, said: “TIL Logistics is a company of real substance – its

assets are the sinews of the economy. Business and consumers are always going to need things

moved, stored and shifted. As the economy grows, freight will grow with it.


“With TIL Logistics’ scale, reach and depth of expertise, we can work our assets and networks

more efficiently and keep our costs down. And we can expand by acquisition where it makes

sense and adds long term value. The company has started the year well and we are looking

forward to delivering a year of improved performance and value for our shareholders.”


CEO Alan Pearson commented on the positive outlook for the sector and the company.


“Demand for freight and logistics closely follows GDP, and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand is

forecasting strong GDP growth over the next two years. Freight by road is the primary mode of

transport in New Zealand and we don’t see this changing. What we do expect to see is more

multi-modal transport options, using a mix of transport options such as shipping, rail or road

depending on a customer’s needs.


“Our expertise in the logistics sector means we are well set up to help our customers utilise the

best option for specific freight loads and our national network allows us to offer an end to end

supply chain offer.


“We’ve started the financial year strongly and have identified a number of opportunities to grow

our revenue and margins at a rate higher than the sector generally. The second half of the year

will see us continuing to focus on what we are doing well – growing our businesses, building our

customer base and identifying opportunities to leverage our strengths in the market.”
