Summary of Group performance

The Company’s increased investment in brand, market development and organisational capability fuelled

continued strong sales growth in all key product segments - infant formula, liquid milk and milk powders.

Sales of infant formula totalled $495.5m for the half – an increase of 45.3% on the prior year driven by

share gains in China and Australia. The Company also saw pleasing growth in its liquid milk business of

20.2% to $83.4m, particularly in its key markets of Australia and the US. Sales of other nutritional

products grew 40.4% to $34.3m, driven predominantly by milk powders and supported by new products

launched towards the end of FY18.

Gross margin percentage increased due to the benefits of scale and mix (proportion of infant formula

sales now accounting for ~81% of Group sales). This was partially offset by currency movements – most

notably a weaker AUD.


Step-changing investment in brand and capability

Following a transformative FY18, the Company is focussed on delivering continued and significant

growth through step-changing strategic investment in consumer insight, brand development and

organisational capability.

The Company is accelerating its investment in building brand equity through enhanced marketing

campaigns in its key markets of China, US and Australia, alongside continued investments in R&D and

further development of its intellectual property. The Group’s investment in marketing in the first half

increased by 75.0% to $45.5m primarily as a result of increases in brand building activities in China and

the US. The rate of investment in marketing will increase further in the second half as we increase in-

market brand building activities.

A number of key senior strategic appointments have recently been completed, including the addition of

Lisa Burquest as Chief People Officer, Melanie Kansil as Chief Commercial Officer and Phil Rybinski as

Chief Technical Officer. These new roles build upon the existing strong and experienced group of

executives and, combined with growth in the broader team and investment in infrastructure will ensure

the business is well placed to continue its significant momentum, having the capacity to commercialise

further growth opportunities.

We have previously signalled our intention of holding our first investor strategy conference, which will

provide an opportunity to present a more comprehensive overview of our strategic focus areas. This

remains a priority and will likely occur in the second half of the 2019 calendar year.


Strong balance sheet

The Company’s closing cash position reflects the growth in revenue and earnings, partially offset by the

Company’s increased investment in Synlait Milk (August 2018). Net operating cash flow for the half was

$112.3m, with cash on hand at 31 December 2018 of $287.9m. Cash conversion was impacted by the

timing of tax and supplier payments, and increased debtors and infant formula inventory.

The Company closed the period with $72.8m of inventory, up from $64.1m at 30 June 2018. Owing to

the continuing strong demand for a2 Platinum® infant formula the closing inventory position for the



3

period was ultimately below target relative to sales. In response, steps have been taken to further

enhance our approach to inventory management in market, enabling the business to adjust more quickly

to demand changes. This will have the net effect of increasing inventory cover going forward.

We continue to be very well supported by our infant formula supply partner Synlait Milk, in meeting

increased demand, and both teams continue to work closely together to grow our respective businesses.


Regional performance

Australia and New Zealand segment goes from strength to strength

The ANZ business segment revenues were up 37.5% to $418.4m, and EBITDA was up 64.9% to $192.0m.

The Australian fresh milk business has further strengthened with 11.7% revenue growth and a record

10.8% market share

7

, up from 10.0% for the same period a year ago. a2 Milk™ was the fastest growing

major liquid milk brand in Australian supermarkets and remains the leading premium milk brand and the

only brand ranged in all major Australian supermarkets.

a2 Platinum® infant formula remains a significant growth brand in grocery, pharmacy and daigou

channels – it is the market brand leader with 35.7% value share, up from 32.0% at the end of FY18

8

.

The business continued to be the highest brand advertiser within both the milk and infant formula

categories with growing brand awareness and loyalty benefitting the portfolio as a whole.

The a2 Milk™ brand under licence to Fonterra was launched in New Zealand early August with national

advertising and distribution from late September and is performing to plan.


China performing well

China segment revenue rose to $171.7m, up 50.1%, with EBITDA up 41.6% to $68.4m as a result of

strong distribution and market share gains.

Our Kantar infant formula consumption value share increased to 5.7%

in the latest 12 month data for

Tier 1 and Key A cities, up from 4.4% in the same period prior year, and up from 5.1% as at end June

2018

10

. The Company recently invested in expanded market share coverage to include city tiers B, C and

D and is pleased to report a market share position of 5.4% in the latest 12 month data up from 4.7% as at

June 2018

11

for the composite of Tier 1 and Key A, B, C and D cities. This result demonstrates

considerable momentum in lower tier cities. The positive velocity growth in store combined with the

Company’s stronger distribution footprint is supporting an increase in sales of China label infant formula

with growth of 82.6% relative to first half a year ago.

Our multi-channel strategy remains important to our success. Through the eyes of the consumer each

channel plays an important role and the combined effect is beneficial. Progress made during the period

by the Company in each channel has been significant.

The cross border e-commerce channel (CBEC) remains a strong pathway to the Chinese consumer for the

infant formula category, enabling consumers across all regions (including those in lower tier cities) to

more easily access international brands. The Company performed well during the online seasonal events

and continues to perform strongly across all CBEC platforms.

Mother and Baby Stores (MBS) provide Chinese parents with a more interactive shopping experience to

view brands on offer and receive information about selected products, in particular for Stages 1 and 2.

This channel continues to be an important priority. During the half, focus was added to improving in-

store productivity within the channel, with impressive results. Pleasingly, sales velocity growth within

existing stores was a stronger contributor than growth coming from new store additions. The MBS

network comprised ~12,250 stores as at the end of December. Improving in-store productivity and

increasing store distribution will both continue to be an important focus in the second half as we work to

lift channel share.

Modern supermarkets and Chinese label e-commerce retail channels are lesser contributors at this stage

relative to CBEC and MBS but also play important roles for target consumer segments.

Our growing consumer insights gives us confidence that the Company will benefit from accelerated

investment in brand building and marketing generally. Our consumers are typically deeply loyal with high

trust for the brand, yet there is significant scope to build our in-market brand awareness. The business is

now well positioned with strong offline and online distribution in place to benefit from step-changing

marketing investment, which is expected to build further brand awareness and trial purchase within the

China market. This will be a priority investment focus for the remainder of FY19 and into FY20.

In August 2018 the Company renewed its agreement with China State Farm. This relationship is strong

and enduring and an important part of building our business in China for the long term.

The Company is well progressed on the appointment of a CEO for Greater China who will lead the

business through its next phase of growth in the region. We have been very focussed on finding a strong

leader who has a demonstrated track record in creatively building successful consumer driven businesses

in China.

China regulatory dynamic

The Chinese government issued a number of important regulatory updates during the half with respect

to e-commerce and cross border trade in general. This included a new e-commerce law to strengthen

the compliance obligations for e-commerce operators, and a new CBEC policy framework containing

implementation guidance for future CBEC trade.

The new e-commerce law, together with the Chinese Government’s continued support of CBEC, will

further protect the rights and safety of consumers and the overall integrity of the CBEC channel. We fully

support the changes, and the Company and its major trading partners selling English label products to

Chinese consumers has been anticipating these changes and will be compliant on all regulatory

requirements.



5

United States momentum building

a2 Milk™ sales momentum continued with sales growth of 114.1% in the half underpinned by increased

investment in brand awareness and a stronger distribution base.

By the end of December 2018 US distribution exceeded 10,000 stores. More recently, a further ~2,400

stores have been added, taking the distribution of the brand to ~12,400 stores by the end of January

2019. The increase in store numbers is driven primarily by national distribution within the Kroger

supermarket chain, in addition to three new regions within Costco; additional Vons and Safeway stores

and further Walmart distribution. Sales velocities continue to improve through both new and established

key accounts.

The significant rate of distribution growth in January is driven by building brand awareness and new

store planogram reset timings within the respective retail chains. While the second half will continue to

focus on increased distribution, there will also be a focus on improving in-store productivity in relatively

newer stores.

Pleasingly, recent US research data indicates the US brand development looks a lot like the experience

with fresh milk in Australia. The a2 Milk™ brand in the US is successfully growing category consumption,

sourcing volume across multiple product segments and trading up consumers from conventional milk

while demonstrating high levels of consumer loyalty once the brand is trialled.

There will be increased investment in 2H19 to support continued velocity growth in market. The planned

investment for FY19 is now approximately US$27 million.


Other markets and further opportunities

UK liquid milk sales have continued to grow off a modest base. The business successfully transitioned

between suppliers early in the half to a new carton packaging form. The delivery of scale remains

challenging.

Progress continues to be made in establishing our presence in other Asian markets. Although relatively

small contributors to sales growth, these markets offer opportunities for further expansion in the future.

The Company has agreed with Fonterra to build a milk pool in New Zealand that will enable direct

ingredient supply to The a2 Milk Company, from second half calendar 2019. In addition, the business will

continue to develop a milk pool in Victoria, Australia for raw milk supply. The joint a2MC and Fonterra

team is actively working together to commercialise the next wave of opportunities which will come from

our partnership and we continue to be encouraged by the potential.


Outlook

In the first half the Company has invested strongly in both internal and external capability to better

understand our Chinese consumers, channel dynamics and ways of improving brand awareness.

Following a very strong first half performance, and encouraged by growing market share in China, the

Company is now in a position to reinvest the benefits of scale into increased marketing activities in the

second half. This is intended to drive brand awareness, predominantly in China, and the US. Increased

brand and marketing investment is expected to continue into FY20.



6

The Company expects the Group revenue growth rate in the second half to continue broadly in line with

the first half. The increased investment in brand building in 2H19 is expected to support revenue growth

in FY20 and beyond.

Second half EBITDA margins will consequently be lower than in the first half, with full year FY19 EBITDA

as a percentage of sales expected to be approximately 31-32%. This is due largely to:

• Marketing investment in 2H19 to approximately double 1H19

• Continued investment in building organisational capability

The Company expects the Group

revenue growth rate in the second half

to continue broadly in line with the first

half. The increased investment in brand

building in 2H19 is expected to support

revenue growth in FY20 and beyond.

Second half EBITDA margins will

consequently be lower than first half,

with full year FY19 EBITDA as a

percentage of sales expected to be

approximately 31-32%. This is due

largely to:

• Marketing investment in 2H19 to

approximately double 1H19

• Continued investment in building

organisational capability

Review Report to the Shareholders of The a2 Milk Company Limited (“the company”) and its

subsidiaries (together “the group”)

We have reviewed the interim financial statements on pages 10 to 20, which comprise the statement of financial

position of the group as at 31 December 2018, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of

changes in equity and statement of cash flows of the group for the period ended on that date, and a summary of

significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

This report is made solely to the company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we

might state to the company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review 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 as a body, for our review work, for this report, or for our

findings.

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial statements which

comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and for

such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the

interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reviewer’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. We

conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the

Independent Auditor of the Entity. NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material

respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial

Reporting. As the auditor of the group, NZ SRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements

relevant to the audit of the annual financial statements.

Basis of Statement

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. The

auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for

financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in

accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we do not express an audit

opinion on those financial statements.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the group.

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim

financial statements, set out on pages 10 to 20, do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial

position of the group as at 31 December 2018 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month

period ended on that date in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting.

Our review was completed on 19 February 2019 and our findings are expressed as at that date.

The a2 Milk Company Limited | 13

1. Basis of preparation
The a2 Milk Company Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a for-profit entity incorporated and domiciled in

New Zealand.

The Company is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993, and is an FMC reporting entity under the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. The Company is also registered as a foreign company in Australia under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth, Australia).

The shares of The a2 Milk Company Limited are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), the Australian Securities

Exchange (ASX) and Chi-X Australia (Chi-X). The financial report is presented in New Zealand dollars, and all values are rounded to the

nearest thousand ($’000), unless otherwise indicated.

The principal activity of the Company is the commercialisation of A1 protein free branded milk and related products in targeted global

markets.

These consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the directors on 19 February 2019.

Statement of compliance

These interim financial statements have not been audited. The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand, comply with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting,

and have been the subject of a review by the auditors.

This interim report should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, available at

www.thea2milkcompany.com/investor-centre/results.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in this interim report as were applied in the preparation of

the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, other than the changes arising from the adoption of NZ IFRS 15:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers, noted below.

Changes in significant accounting policies

The Group has applied all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the New Zealand External Reporting Board that

are relevant to the Group’s operations and effective for the current accounting period. Their application has not had any material impact

on the Group’s assets, profits or earnings per share for the half-year ended 31 December 2018.

Adoption of NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Group has adopted this standard from 1 July 2018, using the full retrospective method.

The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Group’s consolidated total equity, retained earnings, earnings per share or cash flows;

with the following adjustments made to the presentation of the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018.

Trade receivables are now recognised and measured at the transaction price in accordance with NZ IFRS 15, reflecting adjustments for

variable consideration such as rebates. Previously, items of variable consideration were recognised as accruals. Customer contract liabilities

refer to payments in advance received from customers, previously recognised in accruals.

Additional disclosure of the Group’s revenue accounting policies as required by the standard are disclosed in Note 3.

Interim report

Financial statements

1. Basis of preparation (continued)
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are relevant to the Group’s operations but are not yet

mandatory for the 31 December 2018 accounting period. The Group’s current assessment of the impact of these is set out below.

Accounting standardRequirementImpacts in future periods

NZ IFRS 16:

Leases

NZ IFRS 16 will become mandatory for the Group’s

annual reporting period ending 30 June 2020,

replacing the existing leases standard.

The new standard removes the distinction between

operating and finance leases, recognising all lease

assets and liabilities on balance sheet, with limited

exceptions for short-term leases and low value assets.

As a right-to-use asset and a lease liability will be

recognised for operating leases, the change will

result in a more front-loaded expense pattern for

operating leases as compared to current straight-

lining, with lease expense allocated to interest

and depreciation.

The right-to-use asset and lease liability will be

determined based on the present value of future

lease payments.

The impact assessment for this standard is being

carried out during FY2019.

There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future

reporting periods.

2. Operating segments

The Group’s key performance measures are segment revenue and segment results before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation

(Segment EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure). Further information and analysis of performance can be found in the Operating and financial

review, which forms part of this interim report.

For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on geographical location along with a corporate function, and

has three reportable operating segments as follows:

• The Australia and New Zealand segment receives external revenue from infant formula, milk and other dairy products, along with royalty

and licence fee income

• The China and other Asia segment receives external revenue from the export of infant formula, milk and other dairy products to China

and other Asia. This segment is responsible for the infant formula supply chain from New Zealand to all markets

• The United Kingdom and USA segment receives external revenue from milk and infant formula sales

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation

and performance assessment. Segment performance is assessed on segment EBITDA and is measured in conformity with the accounting

policies adopted for preparing and presenting the financial statements of the Group.

3. Revenue
Sales of products

The Group sells A1 protein free branded infant formula, liquid milk and related products to wholesale customers.

A sale is recognised when control of the product has transferred, being when the product is delivered to the customer and there is no

unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the product has been shipped to the

location specified by the customer and the customer accepts the product.

Revenue from sales is recognised based on arrangements as agreed with the customer. These arrangements are applied on an order by

order basis and do not commit the customers to purchase a specified quantity or type of product; nor do they commit the Group to deliver

a specified quantity or type of product. The arrangements set out the terms and conditions that apply to the parties each time an order is

placed by a customer and accepted by the Group, creating a sale contract for that order. The terms and conditions cover, as appropriate to

the customer, pricing, settlement of liabilities, return policies and any other negotiated performance obligations.

Settlement terms range from cash-on-delivery or prepaid terms to various credit terms not exceeding 60 days from end of month. These

terms reflect assessment of customer credit risk and industry practice.

Customer contract liabilities refer to payments in advance received from customers; with subsequent delivery to customer, and recognition

of revenue, generally occurring within a week of receipt of the payment.

For credit customers a receivable is recognised when the products are delivered, being the point in time that the consideration is

unconditional because only the passage of time is required before payment is due.

In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by geographical location (reportable segments) and major product types.

8. Financial assets and liabilities
Other financial assets of $280,572,000 (30 June 2018: $186,862,000) consist of shares in Synlait Milk Limited (Synlait), a dairy processing

company listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange. In August 2018 the Company made a further

investment in Synlait, acquiring 14,840,527 shares for $162,335,000, increasing its total holding in Synlait to 17.394%.

This listed investment is the only financial instrument carried by the Group at fair value and is classified at fair value through other

comprehensive income; valued using Level 1 valuation inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

A fair value loss of $68,625,000 was recognised for the period.

The carrying amounts of cash and short-term deposits, and trade and other receivables and payables are a reasonable approximation of

their fair values.
