HY19 Interim Results Presentation
2H19 OUTLOOK

•The business has shown some resilience through tough market conditions through Q1 and bounced back

strongly in Q2 and the diversified revenue streams have really demonstrated their value through the first

half of this year.

•However, market conditions, particularly in the used import market, remain challenging and pressure is

being placed on vehicle margins.

•Within the key market of Auckland we have seen a material reduction in demand which we attribute to the

cost pressures being experienced by many people across the Auckland region in fuel prices, rents, and other

household costs.

•A potential downside impact of 5 - 10% to forecasted pre-tax profits if current market conditions persist.

•Strong balance sheet position and share price dynamics result in Directors’ decision to undertake On-Market

Share Buyback programme of up to 5% of shares on issue.

•We expect the market to come back into demand and supply balance through 2019 with Turners very well

placed to participate in industry consolidation that will inevitably arise.
