TURNERS DELIVERS PROFIT UPLIFT AHEAD OF LATEST GUIDANCE AND
PROGRESSES STRATEGIC REVIEW FOR FUTURE GROWTH
TRA Result for the financial year ended 31 March 2019
Key highlights
Reported FY19 Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT) of $29.0m (FY18: $31.1m)
Adjusted FY19 NPBT (excluding brand write-off) of $33.6m (FY18: $31.3m), above Q4 guidance of
$32m and up 8% from the previous year.
FY19 Revenue of $336.6m, up 2% from $330.5m in FY18.
Continued investment in branch expansion with North Shore branch opening 2Q20 and plans for
seven further branches, with contracts for two already in place.
Group strategy review is largely complete, with a focus on leveraging strengths and core
capabilities, de-risking and simplifying the business and accelerating growth in a capital efficient
way.
FNZC have commenced a strategic review of Oxford Finance. Turners will also conduct a strategic
review of EC Credit in the next 12-24 months.
The Board has declared a final quarter fully imputed dividend of 5.0 cents per share, taking full
year dividends to 17 cents per share, up from 15.5 cents per share in FY18 (a 7% fully imputed
yield based on current share price).
Following the strategy review, the Directors have enhanced the dividend policy and resolved to
increase the payout ratio to 60-70% of Net Profit After Tax (‘NPAT’) (previously 50-60%).
Financial Performance
Turners Automotive Group Limited (NZX/ASX:TRA) has reported $29.0m in Net Profit Before Tax (NPBT)
for FY19. Excluding a $4.6m one-off, non-cash adjustment related to the rebranding of Buy Right Cars, the
Company delivered FY19 NPBT of $33.6m, above Q4 guidance of $32m and ahead of last year’s result of
$31.1m.
Turners is a major player in the New Zealand automotive sector, providing an integrated set of solutions
across Automotive Retail, Finance and Insurance, as well as Credit Management.
Turners’ Chair, Grant Baker says the focus has been on organic growth and generating synergistic benefits
across the group:
“We are seeing benefits from the Company’s expanding retail network, a focus on better quality loans and
simplification of the business model into core brands,” says Baker.
Company Announcement
29 May 2019
Total FY19 revenue grew to $336.6m, up 2% from $330.5m in FY18, with Automotive Retail contributing
67% of operating revenue.
Operating profit (NPBT) of $29.0m included the Buy Right Cars brand write-off adjustment of ($4.6m), and
was offset by gains on property sales and revaluations of $7.7m. FY19 Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was
$22.7m, down 3% from $23.4m in FY18.
Turners’ CEO Todd Hunter says that Turners is continuing to invest in expanding and developing its
Automotive Retail network, and currently has 33 sites across New Zealand.
“We are starting to see positive gains from the ongoing optimisation of our retail network, which has
included the relocation of the Whangarei site, and addition of two new sites in Wellington and New
Plymouth that are both performing above expectations,” says Hunter.
A proportion of reserves from Turners’ Insurance business has been allocated to support the retail
expansion and assist in better utilisation of capital in the business. A new North Shore branch is expected
to open towards the end of 2Q20 after the previous site was compulsorily acquired by NZTA, and there
are plans to open a further seven sites, for which two already have contracts already in place.
Market conditions
The New Zealand used car market remains at strong historic levels and underlying medium term demand
is still robust, with over 950,000 cars at 20+ years old. The market headwinds noted in the first half of the
financial year have eased, and an improvement in trading performance and vehicle margins was noted in
Q4 FY19.
Demand in the Auckland market remains soft and pressure on used vehicle import margins. A current
oversupply of import cars is temporarily pushing down pricing and increased compliance costs are also
having an adverse impact. Conversely, local stock is delivering much stronger margins and Turners is
benefitting from its strategy to increase the number of ‘owned’ vehicles it sells, which provide higher
margins.
Funding and Share Buyback
Turners’ funding platform was further strengthened during the year, with the issue of a new $25m, 3-year
Bond programme. Combined with the Securitisation Warehouse and the banking syndication with the ASB
and BNZ, this provides Turners with a diversified funding structure and adequate headroom for forecast
business growth. The previous Convertible Bond matured in August 2018, with 50% conversion into
shares.
Total shareholder equity increased to $226.4m, up 6% from $214.3m in the prior year.
The Board regarded Turners stock as under-valued, and accordingly Turners bought-back 3% of shares on
issue before pausing the Share Buy Back programme ahead of the results period. As the Board continues
to see the stock as under-valued, it will revisit the buy-back programme in the near-term.

Divisional Performance
Automotive Retail
Automotive Retail was the largest contributor to the group, generating 67% of operating revenue and 63%
of operating profit. Revenue was slightly up on the prior year to $225.7m, with operating profit increasing
10% to $18.3m.
Turner’s Group is benefitting from its national network and strong online channels, which provide
diversity across regional markets. The business delivered a 13% increase in operating profit, offsetting the
downturn in Buy Right Cars which has been adversely impacted by the soft Auckland market, where all
but one of its sites are located.
Turners’ single brand strategy is now in force, with the rebrand of Buy Right Cars to Turners completed in
May 2019. This provides the opportunity to further leverage the high levels of awareness and the very
strong trust that Kiwis place in the Turners brand and will also enable marketing and other cost synergies
to be achieved.
Approximately 49% of retail sales are cars owned by Turners, which generate better margins and an
increased opportunity to cross sell finance and insurance products. Of the vehicles being sold on
consignment, a higher number of these are ex-lease cars which provide less margin but provide good late
model “NZ new” cars for sale. While import vehicle margins are well down, Turners has implemented a
number of initiatives to improve local stock buying, which delivers higher margins.
Turners has also continued to grow its share of the niche end-of-life market and is increasingly being
recognised by insurance companies as the provider of choice.
Finance
The Finance division delivered an 11% increase in operating revenue to $44.2m, however, operating profit
decreased slightly to $11.1m due to increased impairment from a change in accounting standards and
Motor Trade Finance (MTF) non-recourse offering. Good progress is being made on repositioning the
borrower profile towards high quality and more profitable lending, aided by the introduction of
comprehensive credit scoring in March 2019.
From August 2018, all new loans originated by Turners Cars are being directed into Oxford Finance, and
the Turners Finance loan book with MTF will run down over the next 2 years. New loans originated by
Turners Cars added $28m to the Oxford Finance loan book in FY19.
The number of active dealers selling Turners’ finance offer continues to grow and was up 11% year on
year. One in five loans are now being “auto-approved” through Turners’ Auto App online loan approval
platform, which makes it easier and faster for dealers and customers to gain a response on loan
applications.
Company Announcement
29 May 2019
Insurance
Autosure has around 50% share of the motor vehicle mechanical breakdown insurance market. It is a
lower risk insurance business which provides good returns and offers leverage for the group through the
ability to use insurance reserves to invest in property. Operating revenue for the year was up 3% to
$48.5m, with operating profit of $8.2m up 126%, which included a $3.0m gain on sale of an investment
property.
The number of gross written policies and new policy sales increased, with an 8% increase in policies sold
through Turners’ Automotive Retail business. Loss ratios have improved across all insurance products
through the benefits of risk pricing work and tight cost control in claims management. MBI (Mechanical
Breakdown Insurance) loss ratios were at 72% for the year (FY18: 78%) with a further improvement
targeted.
The final step in the large integration project to combine all Turner’s insurance brands was completed this
year, with the migration to a new front end retail system which was implemented in April 2019.
Credit Management
EC Credit Control continues to deliver consistent results with revenue of $18.2m in line with the prior year
and operating profit up 4% to $6.3m. The unredeemed voucher release was under $0.2m (FY18: $0.4m),
and similar levels are expected to be maintained in FY20.
EC Credit Control’s share of the New Zealand market continues to grow, with increased debt load from
new and existing customers. Australia remains more challenging, and this year’s results were impacted by
the loss of a key Australian corporate client. The business continues to reap benefits from its investment
into Auto-dialler technology which is delivering significant cost efficiencies and an increasing number of
calls and call connects.
Strategic Review
The previously advised comprehensive review of group strategy has largely been completed. The result of
the review is a decision to simplify the business as well as leveraging core capabilities and strengths (such
as the brand strength in Automotive Retail and the Turners brand name) in order to de-risk the group and
accelerate growth in a capital efficient manner.
This new strategy enables the business to target significantly increasing its market share in its core
business of Automotive Retail and participate in adjacent opportunities in the sector.
The Board believes this strategy will sharpen the focus on meeting customer needs; improve the efficiency
of the business; and improve the returns generated for shareholders. There is a strong desire to invest in
the brands and businesses where Turners has already achieved a leading position. The shift to a single
brand strategy in Auto Retail, completed in May 2019, is one of the first projects implemented under the
new strategy.
Company Announcement
29 May 2019
As a next step in Turners actioning this strategy, Grant Baker advises that the Board has appointed FNZC
to conduct a strategic review of Oxford Finance, which has already commenced.
“Whilst Oxford Finance is a well performing and growing business with a strong network of active dealers
across the country, the review of group strategy has highlighted that building a loan book is very capital
intensive and we may be best to use our capital in growing our core business.”
As a part of the review, Turners will consider alternative ownership options for Oxford Finance and assess
these alternatives against the value the ‘one stop shop’ model currently provides Turners.
“Whatever the outcome of the strategic review, Turners will continue to maintain its close relationship
with Oxford Finance through its expanding distribution platform, and Oxford Finance customers and the
existing dealer network will see no change to the leading levels of service and quality they currently
experience,” says Baker.
Turners will also conduct a strategic review of EC Credit in the next 12-24 months.
Outlook
Automotive Retail has been identified as Turner’s core strength. The long-term dynamics of this market
are strong with hundreds of thousands of ageing vehicles needing to be replaced over the next decade.
Turners is well positioned to take advantage of this, as well as the expected consolidation of the dealer
network.
Expansion of the national network will continue as Turners strengthens its omni-channel approach –
ensuring that it has a strong and consistent customer experience in all channels where consumers are
looking to buy or sell cars, including online, through social media or ‘in person’. The company continues
to develop inhouse property expertise, and will continue to leverage reserves within the insurance
business to deliver on the property strategy and continue to enhance capital efficiency.
Management have identified a number of growth opportunities across all businesses, which take
advantage of the changing dynamics of the industry – digital disruption, increased regulation, increasing
shift to online channels, alternative ownership models and industry consolidation. The new strategy will
help position Turners to take advantage of investments in these opportunities as they arise.
“Better access, analysis and insights from the wealth of valuable data within each business is a priority.
We believe this could substantially improve the way consumers buy and sell vehicles, and we will focus on
our data opportunity over the medium term,” says Hunter.

29 May 2019
Dividend
The Board has declared a final quarter fully imputed dividend of 5.0 cents per share, taking full year
dividends to 17 cents per share, up from 15.5 cents in FY18. Following the strategy work, the Directors
have enhanced the dividend policy, resulting in a new payout ratio of 60-70% of NPAT (up from 50-60%).
The Board believe the change in strategic direction will help reduce the complexity of the current business
structure and enable focus on the core automotive retail business which will generate more capital
efficient growth and value for Turners’ shareholders.

Change in accounting polices
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies and make adjustments to
opening retained earnings as a result of adopting the following standards:
• NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’; and
• NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’
The impact of the adoption of these standards and the new accounting policies are disclosed below. The other standards did not have any impact on the Group’s accounting
policies and did not require retrospective adjustment.
NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’
NZ IFRS 9, ‘Financial instruments’, addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in NZ IAS
39, 'Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement', that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments.
The Group has chosen not to restate comparative information and adjustments required by the application of the new standard have been made to the opening balance of
retained earnings recognised in the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 March 2019.
The Group’s classification measure of financial assets and liabilities under NZ IFRS 9 remains largely the same as it was under NZ IAS 39.
Impairment
The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed the Group’s accounting for impairment for financial assets by replacing NZ IAS 39’s incurred loss approach with a
forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) approach.
NZ IFRS 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for ECLs for all loans and other debt financial assets not held at Fair value in profit or loss.
ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. The
shortfall is then discounted at an approximation to the asset’s original effective interest rate.
The Group has calculated ECLs on 12 months of expected losses where there has not been a significant increase in credit risk and lifetime expected losses where there
has been a significant increase. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward- looking
factors specific to the debtors and economic environment.
The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain circumstances, the Group may also consider a
financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking
into account any credit enhancement held by the Group. The adoption of the ECL requirements of NZ IFRS 9 resulted in increases in impairment allowances for the Group’s
Finance receivables. The increase in allowance resulted in ($2,292,000) adjustment to retained earnings.
NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’
NZ IFRS 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle being for entities to recognise revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services
to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The standard requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contract
with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling the contract.
The Group elected to apply the retrospective cumulative effect method, with no restatement of comparative period amounts. The cumulative effect of applying the new
standard is included as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings recognised in the Statement of changes in equity for the year ended 31 March 2019.
The Group’s revenue recognition policies remain largely the same with the following exception:
Sales of service- Collection income
The Group has concluded that collection income should be recognised when the service is rendered. The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 has impacted the timing of when some
collection income and the related costs are recognised resulting ($273,000) adjustment to opening retained income.
Motor Vehicle Insurance (MVI) Commission Income
The Group has used the portfolio approach to account for contracts of the same nature. It has been assessed that MVI commission income should be recognised over the
policy term. The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 has impacted the timing of when MVI Commission Income should be recognised resulting in a ($72,000) adjustment to retained
income (net of deferred tax).
