Growing in a challenging market – T&G Global announces 2018 financial year results
T&G Global Limited (T&G) increased its revenue by $120 million in the 2018 financial year to
$1.2 billion. Challenges in its business divisions and markets however, impacted on both
volumes and prices. These factors, combined with increases in operating expenses, saw
T&G’s operating profit decrease by $11.5 million to $15.6 million in 2018.
Operational and environmental challenges in key business divisions and markets impacted
T&G’s 2018 financial result, including a poor New Zealand growing season for apples and
the impact of Chinese tariffs.
The International Produce division saw adverse weather conditions impact on its cherry
season in Australia and the quality of its grape harvest in Peru. Despite these climatic
challenges, the division saw an increase in operating profit of $3.1 million in 2018 due to
favourable trading conditions in most of its markets, particularly the Pacific Islands.
After a record result in 2017, trading in the New Zealand Produce division returned to more
familiar levels. Poor growing conditions for tomatoes in early 2018 and an oversupply in the
domestic market late in 2018 contributed to a decline in operating profit of $8.2 million from
2017 to 2018.
Outside of its trading divisions, T&G’s share of income from associates increased from $0.4
million in 2017 to $2.5 million in 2018, mainly driven by the first full year of returns from its
investment in The Oppenheimer Group.
Total assets reduced by $50.5 million, mainly through the sale of kiwifruit post-harvest
facilities and orchard land, the sale of assets related to the processed foods business and
the sale of property in Christchurch.
T&G’s capital expenditure in 2018 was up $6.5 million to $30.2 million. The increase related
mainly to the significant investment in new bearer plants as part of a focus on key categories
and securing long term supply of key apple varieties.
T&G’s net profit after tax from continuing operations reduced by $29.8 million from $40.2
million in 2017 to $10.4 million in 2018.
T&G’s strategic focus is on strengthening core business and building vertically integrated
produce categories. A major part of this strategy is to divest of non-core assets and
businesses and reinvesting the capital in higher performing business activities.
With a new CEO, Gareth Edgecombe, who joined the company in July 2018, T&G has
undergone a major strategic review and developed a Roadmap for Growth which includes
driving global growth in apples and building new global categories, simplifying the operating
model, leveraging a strong New Zealand base and streamlining non-core assets.

Chairman's
Report
The Board of Directors presents the Annual
Report for T&G Global Limited and its subsidiary
companies (“T&G” or “the Group”) for the year
ended 31 December 2018.
While 2018 was a difficult year, the financial results belie the
significant efforts made by the management team and the
progress made on a number of key initiatives. We have made real
progress in our Asian markets, achieved strong results in many
of our international trading offices, and invested further in our
sustainability programme.
Although much of the adverse impact on the result can be attributed
to factors beyond management control, particularly weather events, the
2018 financial performance highlighted the need for improvement and
increased efficiency in several operational areas. As a consequence,
substantial work has been done over the year in evaluating existing
processes across the Group and determining the optimal processes
and structures to support the Group’s strategy of growth.
Following a global recruitment search, the Board was delighted
to appoint Gareth Edgecombe as CEO in June 2018 to lead T&G
through the next phase of growth. A number of key areas of focus
have been identified, centred around propelling international
growth, developing new global categories, and further simplifying
T&G’s operating model. The scale of these changes will require
further investment in our people and in developing a high
performance culture.
Leveraging T&G’s strong intellectual property, particularly in Jazz
TM
and Envy
TM
, is fundamental to driving this growth. We have recently
announced our investment in the Hot Climate Breeding Programme,
a new partnership (with Plant & Food Research, the Institute of
Agriculture and Food Research Technology (IRTA) and Fruit Futur)
to advance the commercialisation of exciting new apple and pear
cultivars designed specifically to tackle challenges associated with
a warming global climate. Opportunities for investment in additional
brands and varieties are currently being evaluated and the Board
looks forward to updating shareholders in the near future.
To fund these growth initiatives, we will continue our programme of
divesting underperforming and non-core assets over the medium
term. This programme progressed in 2018 with the sale of the
ENZAFoods business, the Northland kiwifruit operation and the
distribution centre in Christchurch.
Preserving and improving the health and safety of our employees
continues to be a critical area of focus, and our investment in this
area has resulted in a marked improvement in the reporting and
management of critical risks.
While the near-term future global trading environment remains
uncertain, particularly with regard to Brexit and the US-Chinese
trade dispute, the Board is confident that the changes the Group
is making to its structure and processes will provide T&G with the
flexibility and resilience to perform strongly in the years ahead.
In Memoriam
It was with great sadness that the Board of Directors received the
news of the passing of two former Directors – Sir John Anderson in
November 2018 and John Wilson in January 2019.
Sir John Anderson and John Wilson were both appointed
independent Directors in April 2012 and made significant
contributions to the governance and leadership of T&G. Sir John
also served as Deputy Chairman, resigning in December 2017.
John Wilson served as Director until August 2018 and was a
member of the Human Resources Committee and Finance Risk
and Investment Committee.
Thank you
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank the management and
employees of T&G around the world, who have worked so hard in
a challenging year to serve our customers and growers.
The Board is very excited about T&G’s prospects and
opportunities for 2019.
Prof. Klaus Josef Lutz
Chairman
7T&G Global Limited Annual Report 20186 T&G Global Limited Annual Report 2018
CEO's
Report
Overall 2018 was a challenging year for T&G,
impacted by adverse market conditions, climatic
events including a poor growing season for
apples and the impact of Chinese tariffs.
In addition to external factors, our financial
results could have been improved through
tighter operational execution.
On a positive note, we have seen continued strong growth in Asia,
excellent apple sales performance in Europe and the UK and solid
export results from our export trading offices in New Zealand, Australia,
US and Chile.
We also made progress in our commitment to a sustainable future.
In December, we launched our key platform for driving sustainability
– Kaitiakitanga. Kaitiakitanga expresses our guardianship
responsibilities and outlines our commitments to building
a sustainable business in our community.
Starting from my commencement in the role in July 2018, the
executive team has conducted a comprehensive strategic review,
working closely with our Board of Directors to determine a Roadmap
for Growth – growth in the expansion of our global business, and
growth in our financial performance.
Critically this review has concluded that we have very strong
foundations – high quality people, a network of 1,500 staff
in offices across 12 countries providing us with a truly global
footprint. We have great brands and intellectual property, including
an internationally unique position with a large-scale controlled
programme of superior apples in Jazz
TM
and Envy
TM
.
The market opportunities for capturing the growth in premium
global produce, particularly in Asia, are very attractive and we are
well placed to capitalise on this with our proximity, relationship
network and intellectual property.
The strategic review also concluded that our organisation is overly
complex with structural duplication, internal transactions, and
associated high costs. Relative to performance benchmarks, the
business needs to improve margins, reduce costs and increase
returns on capital employed.
The Roadmap for Growth that we are now in the process of
implementing is focused on the following few key themes:
Driving global growth in apples and building new global
category pillars
• We will continue to accelerate our global supply of our Jazz
TM
and
Envy
TM
brands, focusing on building strong consumer connections
with these brands in key markets through closer retail engagement
and improved quality and planning execution.
• We will concentrate our international trading on specific categories
and in particular we will build out a strong differentiated position in
table grapes and blueberries.
Simplifying our operating model, building capability and
a high performance culture
• We have taken action to simplify our organisation, reducing the
number of standalone business divisions, standardising common
processes and reducing overhead cost. This task will continue
as we build systems and processes.
• We will continue to build out our in-market capability with
increased resources in key markets.
Leveraging a strong New Zealand base
• New Zealand is our heritage and a key source of innovation
and talent. We will continue to invest in building our categories
through enhanced grower and customer relationships.
Reviewing and streamlining non-core assets
• As we invest to grow in our core global categories, we have
identified a range of non-core or low returning assets that will be
divested or restructured, providing funding for our growth initiatives.
All of these initiatives are focused on building a stronger and more
resilient business with improved customer service, returning better
financial results.
Our executive team is clear on priorities and will work with diligence
and energy to execute with excellence, delivering results that are
worthy of this incredible business.

9T&G Global Limited Annual Report 20188 T&G Global Limited Annual Report 2018
During the 2018 financial year T&G increased its
revenue by $120.0 million from $1.1 billion in 2017
to $1.2 billion in 2018.
After surpassing a billion dollars of revenue for the first time in 2017, this
increase continues T&G’s trend of revenue growth over the past five years.
Despite this increase, challenges encountered by T&G in some of its
business divisions and markets impacted on both volumes and prices of
produce sold. Combined with an $11.6 million increase in other operating
expenses from 2017 to 2018, particularly in fleet costs, promotional costs,
and quality management costs, T&G saw its operating profit decrease
$11.5 million from $27.1 million in 2017 to $15.6 million in 2018.
Growing in a challenging market
Although revenue growth was achieved in the 2018 financial year, T&G
faced operational and environmental challenges in key business divisions
and markets. T&G’s overall gross margin decreased from 25.3% in 2017
to 22.8% in 2018 due to large price reductions in key products in certain
markets, particularly North America.
In Europe a strong demand for premium apples was heightened by a
lower than average supply of Northern Hemisphere grown fruit. The
Pipfruit division capitalised on this demand and returned a strong result
from selling into its European markets which partly compensated for the
weaker performance from North America.
Adverse weather conditions resulted in a poor cherry season in Australia,
and challenging climatic conditions in Peru caused quality issues for our
grape harvest. Despite this, the International Trading division saw an
increase in its operating profit of $3.1 million from 2017 to 2018 due to
favourable trading conditions in most of its markets, particularly in the
Pacific Islands.
After a record result in 2017, the New Zealand Produce division saw
trading return to more familiar levels. Although revenue only decreased by
$0.9 million from 2017 to 2018, poor growing conditions for tomatoes in
early 2018 and an oversupply of tomatoes in the New Zealand domestic
market in the second half of 2018 contributed to a decline in operating
profit of $8.2 million from 2017 to 2018.
Outside of its trading divisions, T&G saw its share of income from
associates increase from $0.4 million in 2017 to $2.5 million in 2018,
mainly driven by the first full year of returns from its investment in
Grandview Brokerage LLC (The Oppenheimer Group). Other income
decreased by $18.7 million from $25.3 million in 2017 to $6.6 million in
2018. This decrease was not unexpected as the prior year result included
one-off gains from revaluations and the accounting for acquisitions.
T&G’s net profit after tax from continuing operations reduced by $29.8
million from $40.2 million in 2017 to $10.4 million in 2018. Earnings per
share declined from 15.8 cents per share in 2017 to 2.9 cents in 2018.
Solid financial position
Total assets have reduced by $50.5 million, mainly through the sale of the
kiwifruit post-harvest facilities, the sale of assets related to the processed
foods business as well as the sale of property in Christchurch. T&G’s
total borrowings decreased by $32.4 million due to a lower utilisation of
available facilities, and higher repayments made possible by proceeds from
disposal of these assets.
T&G’s capital expenditure during the year was $30.2 million, up by $6.5
million on 2017. This increase related mainly to the significant investment
in new bearer plants as part of a focus on key categories and securing long
term supply of key apple varieties. The decrease in net assets has seen net
tangible assets per share decrease from $3.17 in 2017 to $3.08 in 2018,
driven by a lower asset base due to the sale of the assets mentioned above.
Integrate and simplify
T&G’s strategic focus is on strengthening the core business and using
its knowledge and international networks to build vertically integrated
produce categories. A major part of this strategy is to recycle non-core
assets and businesses and reinvesting the capital in higher performing
business activities.
This was demonstrated during the year with the sale of T&G’s processed
foods business in April 2018, and its kiwifruit orchards and packhouses
around Northland in May 2018. Proceeds from the sales are being
reinvested in core operating activities with stronger growth prospects and
higher margins.
T&G has a rich history of producing and supplying fresh fruit and
vegetables to consumers in New Zealand and around the world. The
renewed focus on integration and simplification of core businesses will
ensure T&G is well positioned to meet the growing demands of customers
across the globe in the coming years.

Apples
T&G’s global apple business has continued to expand
on the strength of the premium Jazz™ and Envy™
brands, combined with a global market development
network and a global growing programme
providing year-round supply.
The 2018 New Zealand growing season was challenging, mainly due to
high temperatures late in the growing season which saw reduced fruit
pressure and larger sizing of fruit.
Some of the key highlights for the apples business include;
• UK and Europe achieved strong retail pricing as a result of market
activation, including consumer promotions and increased ranging
with key retailers.
• A review of New Zealand post-harvest operations and quality systems
was completed with significant investment earmarked for IT systems
and post-harvest processes. This will ensure ongoing increased
capacity and quality assurance to meet market growth requirements.
• Sales across all key Asian markets have continued to grow strongly as
a result of increased market penetration and enhanced relationships
with key customers. Envy™, in particular, has developed a loyal
following in many Asian markets and sales are expected to continue
to grow strongly in the coming years.
• Partnerships in international apple growing regions continue to build
strongly. The recent investment in Envy™ orchards in the US state of
Washington are now beginning to demonstrate productive yield. The
Envy™ crop in the 2018 US apple season has doubled and will double
again for the 2019 year.
• To ensure ongoing innovation and a pipeline of potential new
apple varieties, T&G joined Plant & Food Research, the Institute of
Agriculture & Food Research Technology (IRTA) and Fruit Futur, as
the exclusive partner for the commercialisation of new varieties. The
world-class breeding programme is designed specifically to tackle
challenges such as sunburn, colour and firmness associated with a
warming global climate.
• Our premium apple brands continued their winning run. Envy™
was voted by US consumers as their favourite apple in a consumer
competition run by the US Apple Association in 2018. In the UK,
Jazz™ took out the ‘tastiest apple’ title at the UK’s National Fruit
show, a title it has won four times before.
Milestone for
Pioneer of Pipfruit
A key team member and leader of T&G’s
European business, Tony Fissette, reached
a significant milestone marking 45 years of service
to the industry.
His role in pioneering a place for New Zealand
apples and pears on the European stage was
recognised when he was presented with the
2018 New Zealand Apples & Pears award for
outstanding contribution at the Horticulture NZ
conference in Christchurch.
Mr Fissette, who retires from T&G in 2019,
introduced the New Zealand Royal Gala and
Braeburn varieties into the European market,
and in more recent years premium JAZZ
TM
and
Envy
TM
apples.
Just 10 years ago, Tony and his team celebrated
selling 100 million cartons of New Zealand apples
in Europe. In 2018, they reached
10 million carton sales of JAZZ
TM
alone thanks to
his leadership and passion.

International
markets
The International Trading division has progressed
well through 2018, establishing a strong platform
for further expansion in 2019.
Some of the key highlights in the International Trading
portfolio include;
• The Pacific Islands business, primarily involving the export of
New Zealand fruit and vegetables, and a marketplace operation in
Fiji, has continued to grow strongly both in revenue and profitability.
• In Australia, T&G’s partnership with Vizzarri to market
asparagus has been a solid performer. T&G has also
experienced strong growth in exports of stone fruit and
grapes into the Asian market.
• Expansion of the grape category has seen record volumes
of US and South American table grapes exported by T&G into
the Asian market. This will continue to be a key focus for
growth going forward.
• In addition, strong growth continues in the blueberry segment with
increasing exports from New Zealand and South America as well as
successful early trials of new varieties in Australia through
a partnership with Fall Creek.

NZ Produce
New Zealand is the home base of T&G which
continues to partner with more than 1,500
domestic and international growers of fruit and
vegetables to provide local customers with fresh
produce all year-round.
These relationships are complemented with T&G’s own growing
operations, 12 New Zealand-wide market floors and a 50-strong
fleet and transport network, all of which enable the business to
continue to source and sell fresh produce throughout the year.
Bee-pollinated tomato brand Beekist

tomatoes remain the leading tomatoes in
the pre-pack category in New Zealand with the category second only
to potatoes in terms of vegetable spend.
Sales of New Zealand’s first lower carb and calorie potato brand
Lotatoes
TM
continue to outstrip supply aided by three significant
marketing accolades for the brand.
T&G continued its strategy of focusing on its core business in 2018
with the sale of its Northland kiwifruit orchards, packhouse facilities
and assets to Seeka Ltd (Seeka). The agreement saw Seeka purchase
T&G’s post-harvest facilities in Northland for the packing and storing
of avocados, kiwifruit and citrus. T&G also sold approximately 80
hectares of orchards in and around Northland to Seeka containing
the Hayward, ENZAGold
TM
and ENZARed
TM
kiwifruit as well as
Zespri Sungold varieties. T&G remains the trademark owner of
the kiwifruit brands and has access to fruit grown by Seeka for its
customer-base in New Zealand and overseas.
The sale was part of T&G’s intention to focus on its key produce
categories. As part of this focus, T&G is redeveloping its citrus
and berry growing operations in Northland and other parts of the
country with a focus on enhanced varieties and protected cropping.
Health, safety and wellbeing continues to be one of the key focus
areas for our business, and 2018 saw improvements in traffic
management across the network of trading and growing sites.
In terms of technology and innovation, the business has seen
steady growth and acceptance of T&G’s wholesale online ordering
application FirstPick, which will form the basis for further technology
enhancements in the future.
T&G’s marketing team won the PMA Australia-New
Zealand 2018 marketer of the year award for its
Lotatoes™ potato brand campaign. The awards are
the premier celebration for marketing excellence in
the Australasian fresh produce and floral industries.
In September 2018, T&G also won an award for
best campaign at the TVNZ-NZ Marketing awards
for Lotatoes™.

As part of a strategy refresh through to 2025, T&G
introduced a new strategic pillar – Kaitiakitanga,
which means guardianship, care and protection.
For T&G, Kaitiakitanga means that we treat our land, people,
produce, resources and community with the greatest respect and
care as guardians of their future.
Kaitiakitanga is essentially how we do business at T&G and holds
great significance for the culture being built at T&G, one of care
and protection for our people, our resources, our communities
and the land on which we work and grow.
T&G held a blessing ceremony on its Mt Wellington market floor
which was livestreamed to all sites with the unveiling of a Māori
carving that represents Kaitiakitanga.
Our new strategic pillar is supported by eight aspirations for 2025
and outlines the initiatives T&G will take.
The aspirations are:
• CARBON NEUTRAL GROWTH
To achieve carbon neutral growth, T&G will increase
its revenue with no net increase in emissions.
• LOWER INPUT, SMARTER GROWING
Do more and use less through continuous
improvement in our resource management.
• 100% ETHICALLY CERTIFIED SOURCING
To reach 100% ethically certified sourcing of our produce,
all T&G grown or handled produce will be either GRASP
or SEDEX certified.
• PROTECT AND CONSERVE OUR HABITATS
Take pride in our wider environment and support
surrounding ecosystems.
• ZERO WASTE TO LANDFILL
All T&G sites across New Zealand will send zero waste
to landfill by 2025.
• HOME HEALTHY AND SAFE
Home Healthy and Safe is about making health and safety
what we do at T&G.
• OWN BRAND PACKAGING
100% recyclable and made from 100% renewable resources.
• HEALTHY COMMUNITIES
T&G encourages everyone to enjoy ‘Healthy Eating, Active
Living’ or as we say, H.E.A.L.

Sustainability
A key aspiration for T&G is to have 100% recyclable,
renewable packaging for our own brands by 2025.
Our Beekist
®
brand has started T&G off on our
sustainability journey towards establishing more
sustainable packaging solutions. Beekist
®
tomatoes
are now packed in cardboard punnets with a soft
plastic window, a packaging solution that we are
looking at developing further based on feedback
from consumers and retail partners.
To achieve carbon neutral growth by 2025, T&G is actively
monitoring its natural gas consumption to identify inefficiencies.
Through its collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Conservation
Authority, T&G is able to develop a proof of concept for machine
learning in its glasshouses to increase accuracy of production
predictions and reduce food and energy wastage in the supply chain.
T&G is engaging its sites in understanding what solutions are
needed to achieve a zero-waste goal.
In early 2018, T&G conducted waste audits at all New Zealand
sites to identify waste streams created onsite and increase access
to recycling bins. The business built an online waste reporting
platform with automated data feeds and site access for managers
to ensure progress towards a zero waste to landfill goal is tracked.
Smarter water controls have been developed to support lower
input and smarter growing. With the onset of El Niño weather
patterns predicted to bring drier summers to New Zealand,
conservation and smart use of water is paramount in T&G's orchards.
T&G has partnered with Pessl Instruments from Austria, who
has installed an iMetos Eco reader on a trial orchard in Hawke’s
Bay. This device provides moisture and temperature readings
every 10 centimetres through the soil profile via solar powered
technologies. It gives growers the ability to read soil moisture
directly on their smartphones in combination with weather
forecasting from the onsite weather station. T&G is able to
use both the real time effect of irrigation and likely rain events
to manage tree health including fruit sizing, tree vigour, and
nutrient uptake.
T&G is trialling the planting of phacelia down boundary hedges,
especially boundaries with crops like potatoes. Phacelia harbours
beneficial insects like hover fly, lacewing and parasitic wasps
to help protect plants from other pests that are attracted to
neighbouring crops.
Health
& Safety
T&G is committed to getting its people
home safe and helping them be healthy.
The business is focused on managing
its critical risks, especially those where
there is potential for serious harm.
T&G has developed a good understanding
of these risks and the controls needed
to mitigate them.
For 2018, an area of focus was on the risk of
pedestrians being hit by forklifts and other site
vehicles, as well as machine guarding. This has seen
traffic management plans established for all of T&G's
New Zealand sites which will be fully implemented
early in 2019. T&G’s risk reduction programme will
continue in 2019, with key areas of focus being falls
from heights, general vehicle safety, hazardous
substances and psychosocial risks.

Our
Community
T&G continued its strong community support in
2018 including partnering with Garden to Table
Charitable Trust, Fruit in Schools (providing fresh fruit
to lower decile New Zealand schools), 5+A Day and
Kiwi Harvest and supporting more than one hundred
community events by supplying healthy produce.
It’s part of T&G’s commitment to promoting healthier
futures through fresh fruit and vegetables.
The Garden to Table sponsorship sees T&G work with New Zealand
schools to nurture children’s passion for growing, harvesting, preparing
and sharing fresh fruit and vegetables.
As well as providing garden beds and equipment for schools, T&G also
developed a nationwide awards programme - Young Gardener of the Year
awards, designed to encourage more schools and kids to take
up the school gardening challenge. In 2018, more than 130 entries
from 45 primary schools were received from across New Zealand
in the eagerly contested awards.

The Board has not at this stage established a
Nominations Committee owing to a belief that director
appointments are of such significance that they should be
a direct responsibility of the full Board. This matter is kept
under review.
Interests register
The Company and each subsidiary of the Company
are required to maintain an interests register in which
particulars of certain transactions and matters involving
the directors must be recorded. The interests registers
for the Company and its subsidiaries are available for
inspection at its registered office.
Details of all matters that have been entered in the
interests register of a company by individual directors
during the year are outlined in the statutory information
section of these accounts, and should be read in
conjunction with the individual directors’ profiles.
T&G management structure
T&G’s organisational structure is focused on its five
business divisions being Pipfruit, International Produce,
New Zealand Produce, Processed Foods
and Other. These operations are managed separately
with direct reporting to the CEO and to the Board which
exercises overall control.
Risk identification and management
T&G has adopted a system of internal control, based on
written procedures, policies and guidelines. To reinforce
this, an internal audit function exists that reports to the
Board through the FRIC.
The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for
the overall internal control framework. In discharging
this responsibility the Board has in place a number
of strategies designed to safeguard T&G’s assets and
interests and to ensure the integrity of reporting.
Procedures are in place to identify areas of significant
business risk and to remediate and effectively manage
those risks. As required, the Board obtains advice from
external advisors.
While the Board acknowledges that it is responsible for
the overall control framework of T&G, it recognises that
no cost effective internal control system will preclude all
errors and irregularities.
Directors’ and Officers’ insurance
The Company has arranged directors’ and officers’
liability insurance covering directors acting on behalf of
the Company. Cover is for damages, judgements, fines,
penalties, legal costs awarded and defence costs arising
from wrongful acts committed while acting for the
Company.
The types of acts that are not covered are dishonest,
fraudulent and malicious acts or omissions; wilful breach
of statute, regulations or duty to the Company; improper
use of information to the detriment of the Company; and
breach of professional duty.
Tax strategy and governance
T&G operates within a framework of prudent and
proactive tax risk management.
T&G’s tax strategy is focused on providing high quality
management and governance, which results in ensuring
that T&G pays the appropriate amount of tax within each
market that it operates.
T&G implements this strategy through the tax risk
management principles within its Risk Management
Framework.
In conducting its activities in New Zealand and offshore,
T&G ensures that it:
• Complies with all relevant tax legislation in each tax
jurisdiction in which it operates;
• Meets all its tax obligations on time;
• Pays the correct amount of tax that is due;
• Obtains expert advice as required where complex
international transactions are involved.
The statutory corporate tax rate in New Zealand is 28%
and on average over the five-year period (2014 to 2018),
T&G’s effective tax rate was 21%. T&G’s average effective
tax rate is lower than the statutory corporate tax rate
in New Zealand due to the different corporate tax rates
applicable for T&G’s subsidiaries operating in foreign
jurisdictions, and the impact of non-deductible and non-
taxable items.
Role of the Board
The Board is responsible to shareholders for the
performance of the Company, which includes setting
the objectives and the strategies for achieving those
objectives, identifying significant areas of business risk and
implementing policies to deal with those risks, setting the
overall policy framework and monitoring the continuing
performance of the Company and its management. The
Board also ensures that procedures are in place to provide
effective internal financial control.
Responsibility for the day-to-day management of T&G is
delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
The Board is committed to act with integrity and expects
high standards of behaviour and accountability from all
staff members.
Board membership
There are no executive directors across the Board
but a broad mix of skills and industry experience relevant
to the guidance of the Company’s businesses. Mrs C.A.
Campbell and Mr R. Hewett are independent directors for
the purposes of the NZX listing rules.
Conduct of the Board
The Board has adopted a formal Code of Ethics which
sets out the expected standards of professional conduct
of its members.
The Board meets at regular intervals and conducts its
affairs to ensure matters can be discussed openly, frankly
and confidentially. Any potential conflicts of interest
relating to directors are identified and disclosed. Affected
directors are usually not permitted to vote on any related
matter where a conflict exists.
The Board operates a code of conduct that forbids
directors and other affected parties to deal in the
Company’s shares at any time when they are in
possession of insider information and during periods
which are deemed by the Board to be ‘closed’ periods.
These closed periods customarily include the end of the
six and 12 month reporting cycles, and until such time
as profit announcements have been publicly disclosed.
Closed periods include any additional period when the
Board is engaged in matters that are likely to have an
impact on the market value of the shares.
Board access to advice
All directors have access to the advice and services of the
Secretary to the Board and the Board has established
a procedure whereby directors and Board committees
have the right, in connection with their duties and
responsibilities, to seek independent professional advice
at the Company’s expense, with the prior approval of the
chairman.
Independent professional advice includes professional
legal and financial advice, but excludes any advice on
the personal interests of a director. The Board regularly
invites key managers and executives to attend and
present at Board meetings, and interaction with directors
is routinely encouraged.
Board committees
The Board has two constituted committees, the Finance,
Risk and Investment Committee (FRIC) and the Human
Resources Committee (HRC), both of which operate
under Board approved charters.
The FRIC meets at least four times per year and is
responsible for overseeing compliance with statutory
financial regulations and related responsibilities, ensuring
that effective systems of accounting and internal control
are established and maintained, overseeing internal
and external audit, and liaising with T&G’s independent
auditors. This committee is chaired by Mrs C.A. Campbell,
and comprises Mr R. Hewett and Mr A. Helber. The FRIC
members also meet separately with the auditors as
required.
The HRC is responsible for reviewing, approving and
monitoring T&G’s Health and Safety Policy, Strategy,
Annual Plan and programme of work. This ensures the
health and safety of all those who work for or come into
contact with T&G. Additional responsibilities include
ensuring that the remuneration strategy, policies and
practices reward fairly and responsibly with a clear link to
T&G’s strategic objectives and corporate and individual
performance; and assisting the Board in succession
planning for the CEO and senior management positions
which identifies and targets individuals for development.
This Committee meets at least four times per year and
comprises Mr R. Hewett (chair), Mrs C.A. Campbell and
Mr R.T. Priske.
The Board is the governing body of T&G Global Limited (the Company) and its
subsidiary companies (T&G).

The current year total remuneration spread takes into
account the impact of exchange rate movements on
employees paid in foreign currencies.
CEO remuneration
The CEO remuneration consists of fixed remuneration,
short-term incentive and long-term incentive.
Fixed remuneration
Mr Edgecombe commenced employment on 9 July
2018, and received remuneration of $790,145 during
the 2018 Financial Year. This amount includes employer
kiwisaver contributions, a vehicle allowance and 50% of a
signing bonus, the balance of which is payable at the first
anniversary of his employment. His base salary for 2018
was $850,000.
Short term incentive
Subject to the achievement of targets set by the Board
at the start of each year, Mr Edgecombe will be entitled
an annual bonus of up to 40% of base salary. This bonus
can be over- and underachieved; no bonus will be paid if
the achievement rate is less than 50% and the maximum
amount is capped at 150%. The targets are related to
profitability, and no bonus will be payable should the
relevant targets not be met.
Long term incentive (LTI)
Mr Edgecombe will be entitled to participate in a LTI
scheme set by the Board, based on an earnings before
interest and tax growth plan. The fulfilment of 100% of
the goals under the scheme will entitle Mr Edgecombe to
a LTI payment of 50% of his base salary, payable in equal
portions over a three year period. The goals relate to long-
term shareholder value creation, and can be over- and
underachieved; no bonus will be paid if the achievement
rate is less than 50% and the maximum amount is capped
at 150%.
Details of the previous CEO’s remuneration have not been
disclosed for reasons outlined in the 2017 Annual Report.
Directors’ shareholdings
As at 31 December 2018, no current directors or parties
associated with current directors held ordinary shares
(2017: nil).
There were no share transactions during the year ended
31 December 2018 in which directors held 'relevant
interests'.
Indemnification and insurance of directors
and officers
The Company indemnifies all directors named in this
report, and current and former executive officers of
T&G against all liabilities (other than to the Company or
members of T&G) which arise out of the performance of
their normal duties as director or executive officer, unless
the liability relates to conduct involving lack of good faith.
To manage this risk, T&G has indemnity insurance. The
total cost of this insurance including directors and officers
of offshore companies during the 12 months was $32,000
(2017: $32,000).
Information used by directors
No member of the Board of the Company, or any
subsidiary, issued a notice requesting to use information
received in their capacity as director which would not
otherwise have been available to them.
Interested transactions
No directors disclosed the existence of any transactions with
T&G during the 12 months in which they held an interest.
NZX waiver from listing rule 5.2.3
During the year, the Company held a waiver from New
Zealand Exchange (NZX) listing rule 5.2.3 Spread that was
granted in April 2012. NZX listing rule 5.2.3 provides that
an issuerʼs securities will generally not be considered for
quotation on the NZX unless those securities are held by
at least 500 members of the public holding at least 25%
of the number of securities of that class issued, and those
requirements are maintained, or the NZX is otherwise
satisfied that the issuer will maintain a spread of security
holders sufficient to ensure a sufficiently liquid market in
the class of securities.
As BayWa Aktiengesellschaft and Wo Yang Limited are not
considered members of the public for the purpose of the
listing rules, less than 25% of the quoted securities of T&G
are held by members of the public and therefore the
Company does not meet the requirements of listing rule 5.2.3.
The NZX granted the Company a waiver from listing rule
5.2.3 under the following conditions:
a. The waiver, its conditions, and its effect on the
Companyʼs shareholders are disclosed in each annual
report for the year upon which it was relied; and
b. The Company notifies the NZX if there are any
material changes to its spread.
The waiver has the effect of ensuring security holders have
a ready market to purchase or sell securities.
Substantial shareholders
The following information is given pursuant to Section 26
of the Security Markets Act 1988.
The following parties are recorded by the Company as
at 31 January 2019 as substantial security holders in
the Company, and have declared the following relevant
interest in voting securities under the Securities Markets
Act 1988:
BayWa Aktiengesellschaft90,671,206

The total number of voting securities issued by the
Company as at 31 January 2019 was 122,543,204.

Directors’ responsibilities
for the consolidated
financial statements
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of T&G Global Limited and its subsidiaries (the
‘Group’), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2018, and the consolidated
income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement
of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, on pages 38 to 95, present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2018, and its
consolidated financial performance and its consolidated 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’).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (‘ISAs’) and International
Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). 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 issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board
and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Other than in our capacity as auditor including the provision of audit related services, the provision of
whistle blower hotline services, and administration of the corporate tax payer group of which the Group
is a member, we have no relationship with or interests in the Company or any of its subsidiaries. These
services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Company and Group.
We consider materiality primarily in terms of the magnitude of misstatement in the financial statements
of the Group that in our judgement would make it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable person would be changed or influenced (the ‘quantitative’ materiality). In addition, we
also assess whether other matters that come to our attention during the audit would in our judgement
change or influence the decisions of such a person (the ‘qualitative’ materiality). We use materiality both in
planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined the quantitative materiality for our audit of the
Group’s financial statements as a whole to be $7.0 million.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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.
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the other information. The other information
comprises the information in the Annual Report that accompanies the consolidated financial statements
and the audit report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether it is materially inconsistent with
the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If so, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group 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 on behalf of the Group
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.
KEY AUDIT MATTERSHOW OUR AUDIT ADDRESSED THE KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Valuation of Biological Assets (Note 14)
The Group’s biological assets of $28.2 million (2017: $27.0 mil-
lion) predominantly represent produce like apples, blueberries,
citrus fruit and tomatoes growing on bearer plants (e.g. trees
and vines) at balance date.
Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated
point-of-sale costs. This is determined by the Group using
discounted cash flow models.
The valuation of biological assets is a key audit matter due to
the subjective judgements and assumptions in the valuation
models, many of which are specific to the present location
and condition of the asset and therefore unobservable in the
market. As disclosed in Note 14 of the Group’s financial state-
ments, these unobservable inputs and assumptions include
the forecast production per hectare per annum by weight,
prices expected to be received per season, costs expected to
be incurred and a discount rate reflecting the risks inherent in
growing the crops.
The discount rate takes into account the risk of unknown
adverse events including natural events, the possible impact of
diseases and other adverse factors that may impact the quality,
yield or price of the crop.
We held discussions with management to understand if there were
changes in market or environmental conditions, or other risks
inherent in the current crop valuations. Our audit procedures were
focused on the higher value biological assets, or where in our pro-
fessional judgement there is a greater level of uncertainty associated
with the cash flow forecasts.
We engaged our internal valuation specialist to consider whether the
valuation methods applied were reasonable.
We compared the forecast production per hectare, forecast prices,
and forecast costs to the approved budgets for the relevant fruit
growing activities, and assessed the historical accuracy of the Group’s
forecasts.
With input from our internal valuation specialist, we assessed the
discount rates assumed in the model and evaluated changes from
the prior year. We also performed sensitivity analysis to assess the
impact that a change in the discount rate has on the valuation of the
biological assets.
We checked the mechanical accuracy of the discounted cash flow
models.

Auditor’s responsibilities
for the audit of the
consolidated financial
statements
Restriction on use
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 and ISAs (NZ) 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 consolidated financial statements is located
on the External Reporting Board’s website at:
http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so
that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters 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’s shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for
this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Reporting entity and statutory base
T&G Global Limited (the Parent) and its subsidiary companies (the
Group), are recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading growers,
distributors, marketers and exporters of premium fresh produce
in over 60 countries around the world. Key categories for the
Group include apples, pears, grapes, citrus (lemons, mandarins
and navel oranges), asparagus, berries and tomatoes.
These consolidated financial statements presented are for the
Group which comprises the Parent and its subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates as at 31 December 2018.
The Parent is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act
1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Market
Conducts Act 2013, and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The Parent is a limited liability company incorporated and
domiciled in New Zealand and is listed on the New Zealand Stock
Exchange. The address of its registered office is 1 Clemow Drive,
Mount Wellington, Auckland.
BayWa Aktiengesellschaft (the Ultimate Parent) is the ultimate
parent of the Group.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (NZ GAAP). They have been prepared in accordance with
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards and other applicable New Zealand Financial Reporting
Standards as appropriate for profit-oriented entities (NZ IFRS), and
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
These consolidated financial statements are expressed in New
Zealand dollars which is the presentation currency of the Group.
All financial information has been rounded to the nearest
thousand ($’000) unless otherwise stated.
Measurement basis
The measurement basis adopted in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements is historical cost except for
certain assets and liabilities identified in specific accounting
policies which are stated at fair value.
Basis of consolidation
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries
are fully consolidated from the date on which the Group gains
control until the date on which control ceases. All intercompany
transactions, balances, income and expenses between the Group’s
companies are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries, joint
ventures and associates have been aligned where necessary to
ensure consistency with policies adopted by the Group.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business
combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of
a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities
incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity
interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred
includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a
contingent consideration arrangement.
Identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at fair
values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition
basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s
proportionate share of the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s
identifiable assets.
Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition
date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in
the acquiree is initially remeasured at fair value at the acquisition
date through profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the
consideration transferred and the amount of any non-controlling
interest and fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest
(if any) over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the
net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised
in profit or loss.
Basis of accounting
Significant accounting policies are set out within the notes to
which those policies are applicable and are designated with a
symbol. All other significant accounting policies are set out on the
following page. Other than the first time adoption of NZ IFRS 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15) and NZ IFRS 9
Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9) (refer note 3), there have been no
changes made to accounting policies during the year.

T&G Global Limited Consolidated Financial Statements 2018
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)
Foreign currency translation
The assets and liabilities of the Group’s subsidiaries that do
not have New Zealand dollars as their functional currency are
translated to New Zealand dollars at foreign exchange rates
ruling at balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of these
foreign operations are translated to New Zealand dollars at rates
approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of
the transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation
of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in the foreign currency translation
reserve.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at historical
cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate
on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies that are stated at fair value are
translated to New Zealand dollars at the foreign exchange rate on
the dates that the fair value was determined.
Fair value estimation
Where fair value measurement has been applied, a symbol
designates the paragraph describing the valuation method used.
The Group uses various valuation methods to determine the fair
value of certain assets and liabilities. The inputs to the valuation
methods used to measure fair value are categorised into three
levels:
Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The income statement, statement of comprehensive income
and statement of cash flows have been presented with all items
exclusive of GST. All items in the balance sheet are stated net
of GST, except for receivables and payables, which include GST
invoiced.
Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Group makes estimates and judgments concerning the future.
The resulting accounting estimates may, by definition, not equal
the related actual results. The estimates and judgments that have
a potential risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year
are discussed within the notes to which those judgments are
applicable and are designated with a symbol.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS,
AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted in
the current year
The Group adopted NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 15 during the current
reporting period. As a result of the adoption, the Group had to
change its accounting policies and make certain adjustments
disclosed below.
NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15)
NZ IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for
determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised.
This new standard replaces the guidance in NZ IAS 18 Revenue
(NZ IAS 18), which covers revenue from contracts for goods and
services, and NZ IAS 11 Construction Contracts (NZ IAS 11), which
covers accounting for revenue earned through construction
contracts.
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 15 using the modified
retrospective method, with the effect of initially applying this
standard recognised at the date of initial application at 1 January
2018. Accordingly, the information presented for 2017 has not
been restated. It is presented, as previously reported, under NZ
IAS 18 and related interpretations.
NZ IFRS 15 is based on the core principle that revenue is
recognised when control of goods or services transfers to a
customer, and that the amount of revenue recognised reflects
the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to
in exchange for those goods or services which are delivered or
performed under contracts with customers.
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
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).
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS,
AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(CONTINUED)
New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted in
the current year (continued)
NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (NZ IFRS 15)
(continued)
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
• Sale of fresh fruit and vegetables to local and export markets.
• Provision of coolstore and packhouse services.
• Agency commission earnt on fresh fruit and vegetables and
processed food products sold on behalf of third parties.
• Royalties based on a percentage of sales of the Group’s
licensed apple varieties.
Sale of fresh fruit and vegetables to local and export markets
Revenue from sale of fresh fruit and vegetables is recognised
either when the goods are dispatched or when goods have
reached their destination, depending on the terms and
agreements with customers and when documentary evidence
supports the customer taking ownership and control of the
product. Due to the perishable nature of produce there is the
potential of returns, claims and rejects from the customer. The
impact of claims and returns have been assessed and found to be
not significant to the revenue recognised and hence there are no
impacts on the Group’s revenue recognition.
The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 did not have a significant impact on
the Group’s revenue recognition.
There are no significant impacts at 31 December annually due to
the seasonality of the business as the Group generates most of its
revenue during the middle of the year and completes its seasonal
processes before the final quarter of the year. Any uncertainty in
revenue recognition is eliminated by year-end.
Provision of coolstore and packhouse services
The Group earns revenue through the provision of coolstore and
other storage services.
These services involve the Group providing coolstore and other
storage space to its partner growers and third parties for the
purposes of storing fruit. The fruit is stored, on average, between
four to five months depending on market demand and contracts
for service are initiated and concluded within the same calendar
year. Revenue is recognised over time as these services are being
performed.
The Group also provides packing services for its partner growers
and third parties. These services relate to the preparation and
packing of fruit for distribution. Revenue from these services are
recognised at a point-in-time.
There are no other obligations to perform services under such
contracts that will impact the revenue being recognised as services
are performed.
Commissions revenue
The Group acts as an agent in specific arrangements as it does not
have:
• Primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the
goods or services to the end-customer.
• Inventory risk before goods are transferred to the end-
customer.
• The discretion to establish the price of goods and services
above.
Under NZ IFRS 15, to determine if the Group is acting as a
principal or an agent the Group is required to assess whether it
controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the
customer. This is not dissimilar to the Group’s previous practice in
determining if it is acting as a principal or agent and there are no
significant impacts on the adoption of NZ IFRS 15 on the Group’s
accounting policies.
Royalty revenue
The Group recognises royalty revenue on its licenced apple
varieties when actual sales of those apple varieties occur. This is
in line with the requirements of NZ IFRS 15 and the adoption of
the new standard did not have a significant impact on the Group’s
accounting policies.
NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9)
NZ IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring
financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or
sell non-financial items. This standard replaces NZ IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (NZ IAS 39).
The Group has applied the transition requirements of NZ IFRS
9. No comparative information was restated. Instead, the impact
of adopting the new standard is reflected in opening equity on 1
January 2018.
The Group has assessed that the new classification and
measurement requirements will not have a material impact on its
balance sheet or equity. The impact of the change related solely
to the new impairment requirements, as described further on the
next page.

changes are listed below -
• The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, loans receivable and
trade and other receivables are held to collect contractual
cash flows that are expected to represent solely payments
of principal and interest. On transition to NZ IFRS 9, these
financial assets will continue to be measured at amortised
cost and classified as ‘Measured at amortised cost’.
• The Group has investments in unlisted entities which
it intends to hold for the foreseeable future. Fair value
movements in the shares have previously been recorded
in other comprehensive income and classified as ‘Available-
for-sale’. On transition to NZ IFRS 9, the Group has elected
to classify these as ‘Fair value through other comprehensive
income’ with changes in fair value continuing to be
accumulated in the revaluation reserve.
The change in categories does not affect the carrying values of
the financial assets with all balances remaining the same as at 1
January 2018.
There is no significant impact on the Group’s accounting for
financial liabilities.
Impairment of financial assets
NZ IFRS 9 introduces a new impairment model that requires the
recognition of impairment provisions based on expected credit
losses (ECL) rather than only incurred credit losses as was the case
under NZ IAS 39.
The new impairment model applies to the Group’s financial assets
measured at amortised cost and consequently the Group will be
required to record expected credit losses, either on a 12-month
or lifetime basis, on all loans receivable and trade and other
receivables.
The Group has applied the simplified approach and records
lifetime expected losses on all receivables.
For assets in the scope of the NZ IFRS 9 impairment model, this
has resulted in an earlier recognition of credit losses, and an
increased amount of loss allowance recognised on applicable
terms. The Group has determined that the application of NZ
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements at 1 January 2018 results in an
additional impairment as follows:

Hedging
The Group has determined that all existing hedge relationships
that are currently designated in effective hedging relationships will
continue to qualify for hedge accounting under NZ IFRS 9.
For its foreign exchange options, the Group continues to designate
both the intrinsic value and time value of the option as the hedging
instrument. Changes in the fair value of options continue to be
recorded in ‘cash flow hedge reserve’ within equity.
For its forward exchange contracts, the Group continues to
designate both the spot element and the forward element of the
forward contract as the hedging instrument. Changes in the fair
value of the forward contract continue to be recorded in ‘cash flow
hedge reserve’ within equity.
Hedge ratios are specifically determined for each operating
segment within the Group and by referencing the Group’s
Treasury Policy. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured based on
reference to the timing of cashflows and hedge implementation.
Any ineffectiveness from the hedge relationship will be recognised
in profit or loss.
3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS,
AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS
(CONTINUED)
New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet
adopted
New standards, amendments and interpretations have been
published that will be mandatory for the Group’s accounting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standards that
will have an impact on the Group are discussed below. None of
these have been early adopted:
NZ IFRS 16 Leases (NZ IFRS 16)
NZ IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2019. The standard deals with the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and replaces
the current guidance in NZ IAS 17 Leases (NZ IAS 17). The new
standard introduces a single model for lessees which recognises
all leases on the balance sheet through an asset representing
the rights to use the leased item during the lease term and a
liability for the obligation to make lease payments. This removes
the distinction between operating and finance leases and aims to
provide users of the financial statements relevant information to
assess the effect that leases have on the balance sheet, income
statement and cash flows of the reporting entity. One of the key
judgment areas in applying the new requirements relates to the
assessment of whether an option to extend or terminate the
lease contract will be exercised. Lessor accounting remains largely
unchanged from NZ IAS 17 for the Group.
The Group reviewed leases where the Group is the lessee and
these leases primarily relate to building leases for properties, and
leases of orchards and trucks.
The Group intends to use the modified retrospective approach
with the right-of-use (ROU) asset being equal to the lease liability
as at commencement date for all existing leases at 1 January 2019.
The ROU assets are subsequently depreciated using the straight
line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the
ROU assets or the remaining estimated lease term. The estimated
useful lives of ROU assets are determined on the same basis as
similar owned assets within property, plant and equipment. The
lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the
unpaid lease payments at commencement date, discounted using
a discount rate.
The discount rates used are the Group’s incremental borrowing
rates (IBR). The Group’s IBR will be the average of the IBR rates
obtained from financial institutions for each asset type based on
terms similar to the lease term and for similar assets.
The Group will be applying the following practical expedients when
applying the new lease standard NZ IFRS 16 to leases previously
classified as operating leases under NZ IAS 17:
• The use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with
similar characteristics.
• Not recognising ROU assets and liabilities for leases with less
than 12 months of lease term.
• Not recognising ROU assets and liabilities if the leased asset is
considered a low value asset.
The estimated impact of adopting NZ IFRS 16 for the period
beginning 1 January 2019 is shown below:
1 January 2019
$’000
Balance Sheet
Right-of-use assets 59,400
Lease obligations (59,400)
Under NZ IAS 17, all lease payments on operating leases are
presented as part of cash flows from operating activities. The
estimated impact of the changes under NZ IFRS 16 would be to
reduce the cash generated by operating activities by $15.4 million
and to increase net cash used in financing activities by the same
amount.
Other standards, amendments and interpretations
There are other standards, amendments and interpretations
which have been approved but are not yet effective. The Group
expects to adopt other standards when they become mandatory.
None are expected to materially impact the Group’s financial
statements, although may result in change in disclosure.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The
chief operating decision-makers have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer for the Group.
The chief operating decision-makers assess the performance of the operating segments based on operating profit, which reflects earnings
before net financing expenses, share of profit from joint ventures and associates, other income, other expenses and income tax expense.
Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as
those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.
No single external customer’s revenue accounts for 10% or more of the Group’s revenue.

5. REVENUE
The Group records revenue from the following sources:
Sale of produce
Revenue from the sale of produce is recognised either on dispatch or when the produce has reached its destination, depending
on the terms and agreements with customers and when there is supporting evidence that control and ownership of the produce
has transferred to the customer.
Commissions
The Group acts as an agent in certain revenue generating transactions where it facilitates the sale of produce into markets and
customers. Commission revenue is recognised in these instances when there is supporting evidence that control and ownership
of goods have transferred to the end-customer.
Services
The Group derives the majority of its service revenue through the provision of cool storage and packing services during the
growing and selling seasons. Revenue from the provision of services is recognised simultaneously as the services are being
performed over the length of the service contract or at a point-in-time depending on the specifics of the contract.
Royalties
The Group recognises revenue from royalties when actual sales of the Group’s licenced apple varieties occur.
Principal and agency arrangements
The Group holds arrangements in which it acts as the principal and other arrangements in which it acts as the agent. The
following factors have been used by the Group in distinguishing whether it acts as the principal or the agent in specific
arrangements:
• Primary responsibility for fulfilling the promise to provide the goods or services to the end-customer.
• Inventory risk before goods are transferred to the end-customer.
• The discretion to establish the price of goods and services above.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method, less any provision for expected credit losses.
The following categories of trade and other receivables are subject to the expected credit loss model:
• Trade receivables
• Related party receivables
• Receivables from joint ventures and associates
• Receivables from the Ultimate Parent and associates of the Ultimate Parent
The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected credit loss
allowance for all the above receivables as they all display the same risk profile. Related party receivables are mainly trade in
nature and are on terms consistent with external customers.
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default and the exposure at
default. The Group considers an event of default as occurring when information obtained (internally and externally) indicates
a debtor (this includes trade receivables, loan receivables, and receivables from related parties) is unlikely to pay its creditors
including the Group. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given default is based on historical data adjusted
by forward looking information relating to the debtor and general economic conditions of the debtors. As for the exposure at
default, this is represented by the assets’ gross carrying amount at the reporting date.

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)
Analysis of receivables
Although the Group has a number of receivables aged more than 30 days past due, the risk of financial loss is mitigated as the Group has
a policy of only dealing with creditworthy customers. Credit worthiness and customer limits are determined by reference to credit ratings
and country ratings provided the Group’s credit insurer. The Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its customers are continuously
monitored.
All trade and other receivables are individually reviewed regularly for impairment as part of normal operating procedures and provided for
where appropriate.
The Group has numerous credit terms for various customers. These credit terms vary depending on the services provided and the
customer relationship. A receivable is considered impaired if there has been any indications of significant financial difficulties for the
customer or default or late payments more than 90 days overdue unless there are prior arrangements.
The Group makes advances to customers, suppliers, joint ventures and associates. All advances are within the agreed credit periods. The
Group’s policy requires security to be taken for advances to third parties. This security ranges from charges over property and assets to
personal guarantees. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.
Included in the expected credit loss allowance are individually impaired receivables amounting to $0.47 million for certain balances being
past due. The remaining loss allowance balance represents the expected amount of default from customers as well as advances made to
customers, suppliers, joint ventures and associates over their lifetime based on historical trends of defaults from customers.
The following table details the risk profile of amounts due from customers based on the Group’s provision matrix. As the Group’s historical
credit loss experience does not shows significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance
based on past due status is not further distinguished between the Group’s different customer base.

12. INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first in, first out basis) or net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated
selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
The cost of inventories recognised as an expense and included in ‘Purchases, raw materials and consumables used’ in the income
statement for the year ended 31 December 2018 amounted to $831.0 million (2017 (restated): $727.9 million).
13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments are used to hedge exchange rate and interest rate risks. The Group does not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value. Any resulting
gains or losses are recognised in the income statement unless the derivative financial instrument has been designated into a
hedge relationship that qualifies for hedge accounting.
Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are currently applied to forecast transactions that are subject to foreign currency fluctuations and future
interest cash flow on loans. The Group recognises the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income. These accumulate as a separate component of
equity in the cash flow hedge reserve.
Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge are recognised in the income statement in other operating
expenses. Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects the income
statement in revenue and cost of goods sold.

14. BIOLOGICAL ASSETS
Biological assets consists of unharvested fruit growing on bearer plants, and are stated at fair value based on their present
location and condition less estimated point-of-sale costs. Any gain or loss from changes in the fair value of biological assets is
recognised in the income statement.
Point-of-sale costs include all other costs that would be necessary to sell the assets.
The fair value of the Group’s apples, blueberries, citrus fruit, kiwifruit and tomatoes is determined by management using a
discounted cash flow approach.
Costs are based on current average costs and referenced back to industry standard costs. The costs are variable depending on
the location, planting and the variety of the biological asset. A suitable discount rate has been determined in order to calculate
the present value of those cash flows. The fair value of biological assets at or before the point of harvest is based on the value of
the estimated market price of the estimated volumes produced, net of harvesting and growing costs. Changes in the estimates
and assumptions supporting the valuations could have a material impact on the carrying value of biological assets and reported
profit.
The following significant assumptions and considerations have been taken into account in determining the fair value of the
Group’s biological assets:
• Forecasts for the following year based on management’s view of projected cash flows, including sales and margins, adjusted
for inflation, location and variety of crops.
• The Group has unhedged projected cash flows from sales in foreign currencies. These have been translated to the Group’s
functional currency at average exchange rates sourced from financial institutions based on forecasted sales profiles.
• Discount rates to adjust for risks inherent to the crop, including natural events, disease or any other adverse factors that
may impact the quality, yield or price.
• Any significant changes to management of the crop in the current and following year.

Valuation Process
Within the Group’s finance team are individuals who work closely with the Group’s key biological asset categories during the
year. These finance team members are also responsible for performing valuations of the Group’s biological assets for financial
reporting purposes.
Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the Chief Financial Officer, the Financial Controller, business
division finance managers, and the finance team at least once every six-months in line with the Group’s reporting requirements.
The main level 3 inputs used by the Group are derived and evaluated as follows:
• Production yields, including tray carton equivalents per hectare and tonnes per hectare, are determined based on historical
production trends for each orchard and forecasted expected yields based on the underlying age and health of the
orchards.
• Annual gate prices represent management’s assessment of expected future returns for the biological assets based on
historical trends, current market pricing, and known market factors at reporting date.
• Discount rates are determined by reference to historical trends and loss events, and an assessment of the time value of
money and any risks specific for the current crop being valued.
The fair value of biological assets and the level 3 inputs to the fair value model are analysed at the end of each reporting period
as part of the half-yearly discussion held with the Chief Financial Officer.
As part of the analysis the level 3 inputs are reviewed and assessed for reasonableness with reference to current market
conditions. The calculated fair value of biological assets is also reviewed to determine if it is a fair reflection of management’s
expected returns for each crop type.
The cash outflows used in the fair value calculation include notional cash flows for land and bearer plants owned by the Group.
They are based on market rent payable for orchards of similar size.
Kiwifruit has been included in the ‘Other’ category as the Group is moving away from its kiwifruit operations. Bluberries are a developing
operation and therefore have been included in the ‘Other’ category.

Risk
Being involved in agricultural activity, the Group is exposed to financial risks arising from adverse climatic or natural events. Financial risk
also arises through adverse changes in market prices or volumes harvested, and adverse movements in foreign exchange rates.
Price risk is mitigated by close monitoring of commodity prices and factors that influence those commodity prices. The Group also takes
reasonable measures to ensure that harvests are not affected by climatic and natural events, disease, or any other factors that may
negatively impact on the quality and yield of crop. Foreign currency risk is mitigated by using derivative instruments such as foreign
currency hedging contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure.
Activity on productive owned and leased land
The productive owned and leased land growing different types of biological assets and by agricultural produce types are detailed in the
table below:
15. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Commercial land and improvements, orchard land and improvements, and buildings are stated at their fair value less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at their cost less
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Revaluations
The Group’s policy is to revalue commercial land and improvements, orchard land and improvements, and buildings every three
years with valuations being performed by independent registered valuers based on the price that would be received to sell
the asset in an orderly transaction between market participants under current market conditions. Valuation assessments are
performed earlier than every three years if market evidence suggests that property values have moved materially since the time
of the last valuation assessment.
All property valuers used are members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers, with the exception of the valuers appointed in
Belgium, Peru and the United Kingdom who have the appropriate expertise as required in those jurisdictions.
The revaluations are conducted on a systematic basis across the Group so that the asset revaluations are performed with
sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair
value at balance date. Where valuations are not obtained for land and improvements, and buildings, the carrying values of these
assets are reassessed for any material change.
Any increase in value that offsets a previous decrease in value of the same asset is charged to the income statement. Any other
increase is recognised directly in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the asset revaluation reserve. Any decrease
in value that offsets a previous increase in value of the same asset is charged against the revaluation reserve. Any other decrease
in value is charged to the income statement.

PRINCIPAL VALUATION APPROACH AND DESCRIPTION OF
APPROACH
RELATIONSHIPS OF UNOBSERVABLE INPUTS
TO FAIR VALUE
Depreciation replacement cost approach
This approach involves assessing the replacement cost of building and site
improvements, adjusting this cost for depreciation and any obsolescence
and the market value of land.
The higher the replacement cost after adjustments, the
higher the fair value.
Discounted cash flow approach
This approach is based on the future projection of rental income cash flows
discounted back to their present value, with inputs which include:
• Discount rates with a range from 8.5% to 13.5% The higher the discount rate, the lower the fair value.
• Terminal yield rates with a range from 7.5% to 12.3%The higher the terminal yield rate, the lower the fair value.
• Investment horizon of 10 years
The longer the investment horizon, the higher the fair
value.
• Rental growth estimated at between 0.1% to 9.3% per annum.
The higher the rental growth rate, the higher the fair
value.
Income capitalisation approach
This approach capitalises the actual contract and / or potential income at
an appropriate market derived rate of return. Capitalisation rates applied
range from 7.3% to 12.0%.
The higher the capitalisation rate, the lower the fair value.
Market comparison approach
This approach analyses comparable sales evidence to a sale price per
square metre of floor area and makes adjustment to these rates to reflect
differences in the location, size and quality of the buildings, together with an
adjustment for any market movement since the sales occurred.
The higher the sale price per square metre after adjust-
ments, the higher the fair value.

Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which are used to value certain classes of property, plant and equipment are considered to
be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Inputs are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs). There have
been no transfers between levels during the year.
The following values represent fair value at the time of valuation, plus additions and less disposals and accumulated depreciation, since
the date of valuations. Management have assessed that these values represent fair value.

16. INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income, for capital appreciation or for both.
Investment properties are measured at fair value as determined by property valuers who are members of the New Zealand
Institute of Valuers. Revaluations are conducted annually.
The fair value is determined based on quoted market prices and is the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper
marketing wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.
Transfers are made to investment properties when there is a change in use of the property. This may be evidenced by ending
owner occupation, commencement of an operating lease to another party or commencement of construction or development
for future use as investment property.
Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed of. Any gains arising from a change in fair value are
recognised in the income statement as part of ‘other operating income’. Any losses arising from a change in fair value are
recognised in the income statement as part of ‘other operating expenses’.
Investment property comprises of the commercial property on 490 Nayland Road, Stoke, Nelson which was previously an owner occupied
property. During the year this property was leased to external parties for the operation of a food ingredients and juicing business.
Subsequent renewals are negotiated with the lessee. No contingent rents are charged.
Valuation approach
The carrying amount of investment property is the fair value of the property as determined by a registered independent appraiser having
an appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued.
The property was valued by Telfer Young in the prior year between September and November 2017. The property was valued at the
average of the depreciation replacement cost, discounted cash flow and income capitalisation approach methods. Refer to note 15 for
details of the methods of valuation and key assumptions used.
The property is leased out under an operating lease. Rental income earned by the Group from its investment property amounted to $0.1
million (2017: nil).

17. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets, except for goodwill acquired by the Group, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment
losses.
Software, licences and capitalised costs of developing systems are recorded as intangible assets, unless they are directly related
to a specific item of hardware and recorded as property, plant and equipment, and are amortised over a period of three to eight
years.
Acquired brands are amortised over their anticipated useful lives of 10 to 25 years where they have a finite life.
Goodwill is recorded at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill and any other intangible assets with indefinite
useful lives are tested for impairment at each balance date.

Impairment tests for goodwill
The discount rate used for the purposes of goodwill impairment testing is based on a calculated weighted average cost of capital
adjusted for risks specific to the cash-generating units. The weighted average cost of capital is based on the cost of debt and cost
of equity weighted accordingly between the relative percentages of debt and equity. The cost of debt is the actual cost of debt
and the cost of equity is calculated using the capital asset pricing model.
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations
require the use of estimates as to future profitability of the relevant cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated
and the choice of a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
Goodwill held by the Group relates to acquisitions of Status Produce Limited, the Delica Group (including cash-generating units of Delica
Limited, Delica Australia Pty Limited and T&G Vizzarri Farms Pty Limited) and Worldwide Fruit Limited.
Goodwill
The key assumptions used for the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
The calculations support the carrying amount of recorded goodwill. Management believes that any reasonable change in the key
assumptions used in the calculations would not cause the carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.

When the Group is the lessee
The Group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received
from the lessor) are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When the Group is the lessor
Rental revenue (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. All
properties leased to third parties under operating leases are included in ‘Property, plant and equipment’ on the balance sheet.
They are depreciated over their expected useful lives on a basis consistent with similar property, plant and equipment.
Operating leases payable
Operating leases held over properties give the Group the right, in most cases, to renew the lease subject to a redetermination of the lease
rental by the lessor. There are no renewal options or options to purchase in respect of the leased operating plant and equipment.
The following amounts have been committed to by the Group as payable to lessors in future periods, but are not recognised in the

All properties, including those leased to third parties, are revalued on a cyclical basis (refer to note 15). This results in accumulated
depreciation up to the date of revaluation being reversed and subsequently the asset is depreciated on the revalued amount from the
date of revaluation.
For the properties leased to third parties that are partly occupied by the Group, the proportion leased externally has been estimated
based on land area occupied by third party tenants and this estimation method has been applied consistently across all leased properties.
19. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Sale of processed foods business

The Group’s investments in associates in 2018 and 2017 are:
1)
On 30 April 2018, the Group sold its 25% ownership in McKay Shipping Limited.
(2)
Although the Group holds less than 20% of the ownership of Mystery Creek Asparagus Limited (Mystery Creek), the Group is deemed to have significant
influence over this entity. A member of the Group’s management sits on the Board of Directors of Mystery Creek, and transactions between Mystery Creek
and the Group are significant to its operations.
POP Worldwide Limited has a balance date of 28 February, and Allen Blair Properties Limited, Mystery Creek Asparagus Limited and The
Fruit Firm Limited have a balance date of 31 March. These were the balance dates established when the companies were incorporated
and it is impractical for the companies to change their balance dates. The remaining associates of the Group have a balance date of 31
December.
For the purposes of applying the equity method of accounting, management accounts of the companies for the period ended 31
December 2018 have been used. Differences in accounting policies between the Group and the associates have been adjusted for.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group is subject to a number of financial risks which arise as a result of its activities, including importing, exporting and domestic
trading. Treasury activities are performed by a central treasury function and the use of derivative financial instruments is governed by the
Group’s policies approved by the Board. The Group does not engage in speculative transactions.
Market risk
(i) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and has exposure to foreign currency risk as a result of transactions denominated in foreign
currencies from normal trading activities. Major trading currencies include the Australian dollar, United States dollar, Euro, Japanese yen
and British pounds.
The Group’s foreign currency risk management policies are designed to protect the Group from exchange rate volatilities as they relate to
future foreign currency payments or foreign currency receipts, and the protection of profit margins at the time foreign currency exposures
are created or recognised.
To manage foreign currency risk, the Group utilises hedging instruments in the form of spot foreign exchange contracts, forward foreign
exchange contracts, and currency options. Any other financial instrument must be specifically approved by the Finance, Risk, and
Investment Committee on a case-by-case basis. Contracts are entered into within parameters determined by the Group’s Treasury Policy
and contracts generally do not exceed two years.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Market risk (continued)
(i) Foreign exchange risk (continued)
For the hedges of highly probable forecast sales and purchases as the critical terms of the hedge contracts and the corresponding hedged
items are the same, the Group performs a qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness. It is expected that the value of the contract and
the value of the corresponding hedged item will change in opposite directions in response to movements in underlying exchange rates.
The main source of hedge ineffectiveness in the Group’s hedging relationships are in the timing of cashflows, and differences in the timing
of implementation of hedge contracts.
The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts and currency options to manage these exposures with the main exposure relating
to its Pipfruit export business. As at 31 December 2018, the Group held foreign exchange contracts and currency options with a contract
value of $334.0 million (2017: $300.8 million).
The below tables highlight the foreign exchange cover in place, average exchange rate, notional foreign currency and New Zealand dollar
value of the contracts as at 31 December:
(1)
Contracts are entered into within parameters determined by the Group’s Treasury Policy and contracts generally do not exceed two
years. Inconsistencies to parameters determined by the Group’s Treasury Policy are approved by the Board of Directors.
Exchange rate sensitivity
Reasonable fluctuations in foreign exchange rates were determined based on a review of the last two years’ historical movements. A
movement of plus or minus 10% has therefore been applied to the exchange rates to demonstrate the sensitivity to foreign currency risk
of the Group.
The following sensitivity is based on the foreign currency risk exposures in existence at the balance date. The impact of a plus or minus
10% foreign exchange movement on New Zealand dollars against all trading currencies, with all other variables held constant, is illustrated
below:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONTINUED)
30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Market risk (continued)
(ii) Interest risk (continued)
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.
Interest rate risk is identified by forecasting cash flow requirements, short-term through to long-term. Short-term seasonal funding is
provided by a syndicate of three banks. These funding arrangements are negotiated at the start of each season, on behalf of pipfruit
growers who bear the interest cost.
The Group has floating rate borrowings used to fund ongoing activities, which are repriced on roll-over dates.
As at 31 December 2018, $146.0 million of interest bearing loans are subject to interest rate repricing within the next 15 months (2017:
$181.7 million).
The table below highlights the weighted average interest rate and the currency profile of interest bearing loans and borrowings:
Interest rate derivatives
The Group’s treasury policy allows up to 100% (2017: 100%) of forecasted core debt to be fixed via interest rate derivatives to protect the
Group from exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Accordingly, the Group has entered into interest rate swap contracts under which it
is obliged to receive interest at variable rates and to pay interest at fixed rates.
Swaps currently in place cover approximately 89% (2017: 70%) of the principal outstanding. The fixed interest rates average 3.6% (2017:
3.8%). The variable rates are set at the bank bill rate 90 day settlement rate, which at balance date was 2.0% (2017: 2.0%). The contracts
require settlement of net interest receivable or payable each 90 days as appropriate, and are settled on a net basis. As at 31 December
2018, the Group held swaps with a contract value of $133.9 million (2017: $114.6 million).
Hedge effectiveness is tested by matching critical terms for prospective testing and cumulative dollar offset for retrospective tests. The
potential sources of hedge ineffectiveness are timing of cashflows, and differences in timing of implementation of the hedge contract.
Interest rate sensitivity
At year end, $146.0 million (2017: $160.0 million) of loans are at fixed rates for defined periods of up to three months, after which interest
rates will be reset. Additionally, the Group has overnight deposits that are subject to fluctuations of interest rates. If the Group’s year end
loan and deposit balances had remained the same throughout the year and interest rates moved by 1% then the impact would be a $1.5
million gain or loss on pre-tax profits (2017: $1.8 million).
A 1% sensitivity has been used as this is what management estimates is a likely range within which interest rate movement for the year.
(iii) Price / commodity risk
The Group does not trade in commodity instruments and therefore is not exposed to commodity price risk.

30. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)
Credit risk
In the normal course of business, the Group is exposed to counterparty credit risks. The maximum exposure to credit risk at 31 December
2018 is equal to the carrying value for cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, derivative financial instruments and a
guarantee claimable of $25.8 million in the event the guarantee in Note 25 is called. Credit risk is managed by restricting the amount
of cash and derivative financial instruments which can be placed with any one institution and these institutions are all New Zealand
registered banks with at least a Standard & Poor’s rating of A. The financial condition and credit evaluation of trade, loan receivables,
receivables from joint ventures, associates and related parties are continuously considered.
Due to the nature and dispersion of the Group’s customers and growers, the Group’s concentration of credit risk is not considered
significant.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring cash flows and forecasts and matching maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities. The Group also maintains adequate headroom on its loan facilities.
Policies are established to ensure all obligations are met within a timely and cost effective manner.
The following table analyses the Group’s financial liabilities into relevant contractual maturity groupings based on the remaining period at
the balance date to the contractual maturity date. For the purpose of this table, it is assumed that year end interest rates applicable to the
term loan will apply through to expiry of the term loan facility, even though the Group has the option to repay the loan prior to its expiry
date. For cash flow hedges, the impact on the profit and loss is expected to occur at the same time as the cash flows occur.
The amounts disclosed for financial guarantees are the maximum amounts the Group could be forced to settle under the arrangement for
the full guaranteed amount if that amount is claimed by the counterparty to the guarantee.
The amounts disclosed below are contractual undiscounted cash flows at balance date:

Capital risk management
The main objective of capital risk management is to ensure the Group operates as a going concern, meeting debts as they fall due,
maintaining the best possible capital structure and reducing the cost of capital. Group capital consists of share capital, other reserves and
retained earnings. To maintain or alter the capital structure the Group has the ability to review the size of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital or issue new shares, reduce or increase debt, or sell assets.
There are a number of externally imposed bank financial covenants required as part of seasonal and term debt facilities. These covenants
are calculated monthly and reported to the banks on a monthly and quarterly basis.
The key covenants are as follows:
FINANCIAL COVENANTREQUIREMENT IMPOSED
Contingent liabilities
Contingent liabilities of the Group shall not at any time exceed 6% (2017: 6%)
of total tangible assets of the Group.
Debt to debt and equity
The debt to debt and equity percentage shall not exceed the specified per-
centage as at the end of each month. This percentage ranges from 45% to
55% (2017: 45% to 55%).
Tangible net worth
The tangible net worth of the Group shall not be less than $270.0 million
(2017: $270.0 million).
Seasonal facility stock and debtors
Seasonal facility stock and debtors of the Group shall at all times be equal to
or exceed the specified ratio as at the end of each month. This ratio ranges
from 1.1:1 to 1.25:1 (2017: 1.1:1 to 1.25:1).
Total net worth
The total net worth of the Ultimate Parent shall not at any time be less than
EUR 750 million (2017: EUR 750 million).

In addition, the Group also makes the following undertakings:
• At all times, the tangible assets of the Group entities that form part of the guaranteeing group shall not be less than 90% (2017: 90%)
of the total tangible assets of the whole Group.
• At all times, the total earnings before interest and tax (EBIT as defined within the banking agreement) of the Group entities that form
part of the guaranteeing group shall not be less than 75% for the period up to November 2018 and not less than 80% for the month
of December 2018 (2017: not less than 75% for the year) of the total EBIT of the Group.
The Group has complied with all financial covenants during the year.
Seasonality
Due to the seasonal nature of the business the risk profile at year end is not representative of all risks faced during the year. Seasonality
causes large fluctuations in the size of borrowings and debtors.
Financial instruments by category
The classification of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities depends on the purpose for which the assets were acquired or
liabilities were incurred. Management determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition and
re-evaluates this designation at every balance date.
Financial assets and financial liabilities classed as measured at amortised cost are carried at amortised cost less any impairment.
Financial assets measured at amortised costs includes cash and cash equivalents which comprises cash balances and call
deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are
included in current liabilities in the balance sheet and as a financial liability measured at amortised cost, unless there is a right of
offset, and included as a component of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.
Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Realised and
unrealised gains arising from changes in fair value are included in the income statement.
Financial assets and financial liabilities classed as derivatives for hedging are recognised at fair value. The Group recognises
the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges in other
comprehensive income. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge are recognised in the income
statement. Amounts taken to equity are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects the income
statement.
Investments in unlisted entities are carried at fair value and classified as fair value through other comprehensive income as they
are not held for trading. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive
income, except for dividends from those investments which are recognised in profit or loss. When investments in unlisted
entities are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments are recycled directly through retained earnings.

Fair value measurement
Techniques applied by the Group which use methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities
are considered to be level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value derivative instruments designated in a hedging relationship is determined using the following valuation techniques:
• Foreign currency forward exchange contracts have been fair valued using quoted forward exchange rates and discounted using
yield curves from quoted interest rates that match the maturity dates of the contracts.
• Foreign currency option contracts have been fair valued using observable option volatilities, and quoted forward exchange and
interest rates that match the maturity dates of the contracts.
• Interest rate swaps are fair valued by discounting the future interest and principal cash flows using current market interest
rates that match the maturity dates of the contracts These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data
where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). There have been no transfers between levels during the year.
The estimated fair values of all of the Group’s other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values.
