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

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.

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.

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

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.

20 21T&G Global Limited Annual Report 2018T&G Global Limited Annual Report 2018
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.

24 25
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.

Opinion

Audit materiality

Key audit matters

Other information

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.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

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.

Operating segments

The Group comprises the following main operating segments:

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.

If land and buildings were stated on the historical cost basis, the amounts would be as follows:

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.

Operating leases

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

financial statements:

18. COMMITMENTS (CONTINUED)

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

In line with the Group’s strategy to focus on its core business, on 20 April 2018 the Group’s processed food assets in Hastings and the fruit

ingredient assets in Nelson were sold to Cedenco Foods New Zealand Limited. In addition, the Group’s small fruit pouch assets in Nelson

were sold to NZ Apple Products Limited. Together the assets sold comprised the processed foods business of ENZAFOODS New Zealand

Limited.

22. INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATES (CONTINUED)

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.

The earnings used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share is net profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the Parent of

$3.6 million (2017: $19.4 million).

The weighted average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share is 122,543,204 shares (2017: 122,543,204

shares).

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.

Financial assets

The Group previously held shares in Zespri Group Limited which were classified as an investment in unlisted entity measured at fair value

harvest facilities. The fair value of the shares at time of the sale was $1.91 million. A gain on sale of $0.09 million was recognised in the

income statement by the Group as a result of the sale.

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.
