Burger Fuel Worldwide Limited

Preliminary Full Year Results

For The Year Ended 31 March 2019


Chairman and Chief Executives’ Review


Burger Fuel Worldwide Ltd Preliminary Full Year Results for the 12 months ended 31st March 2019


Overview – FY19


The Directors of Burger Fuel Worldwide Limited (BFW) present the results for the 12 months to 31 March 2019.

The audit of these results is in the process of being finalised


Net Profit after tax for the period was $1,236,341 representing an increase of $1.7M on the previous year.


The Group has no debt, and cash reserves of $5.5M.


BurgerFuel (unaudited) Total System Sales reduced (2.90%) to $102M on the same period last year. Group Operating

Revenue decreased by (15%) to $21.0M, however this decline is mainly due to the sale of the company owned USA

store to the Founding Director Chris Mason in March 2018, as well as some internal changes. This internal change

lowers revenue from our proprietary product manufacturing operation but will ensure that this business unit becomes

more financially efficient.


Revenue is largely comprised of sales from our company owned restaurants, manufacturing and long-term recurring

royalties.


As at 31 March 2019 there were 78 BurgerFuel stores operating worldwide and 2 single outlets in New Zealand; one for

each of our new concepts; Shake Out® & Winner Winner®.

The Year to Date and Group Outlook.


New Zealand


System sales across New Zealand (56 restaurants) increased by 2.6% on the previous year. We closed our last

remaining Australian franchised stores in July & August 2018.


BurgerFuel NZ continues to perform well, although we did experience less growth than we would have liked in the

period. At this stage we are not undertaking third party home delivery, as over time we believe it will negatively affect

both the brand and individual store profitability. This decision may have impacted our growth numbers, however we

remain committed to a no delivery policy at this stage. There are still some opportunities for new BurgerFuel stores to

open in NZ, but we will only undertake new openings if we can achieve both the right locations as well as the

accompanying franchisees.


3





We previously advised the market at the last AGM, that whilst we remain fully dedicated to supporting the BurgerFuel

brand and driving growth within the BurgerFuel business, the Group is now also focused on the development of our

other brands; Winner Winner, the chicken concept purchased by BFW in December 2017, and Shake Out, the new

burger concept developed in-house. Our first Shake Out opened in November 2018 at the Smales Farm complex in

Auckland. This new company owned restaurant is performing well and we are currently preparing to open more

company owned and franchised Shake Out stores in the current year.


The Winner Winner chicken brand we have been working on for the past year is now also ready to roll out. We expect

to open new Winner Winner restaurants in FY20.


The Middle East


The Middle East has been very challenging in recent years. We continue to face difficulties in those markets. The UAE,

Saudi Arabia and Iraq have all experienced competitive pressures as well as internal political and economic issues over

the past 2-3 years. In their own unique way each of these countries remain volatile to sales which are in general, flat or

declining.


The UAE especially, continues to see a significant slowdown in the retail sector and the competitor market is becoming

even more densely populated, both of which have been reflected in the slowing of sales. Our licensees in the Middle

East continue to face disproportionately high rental costs, and accordingly have already closed a number of stores, with

plans to close more stores that are no longer financially viable.

Our licensed business in Saudi Arabia has continued to see satisfactory sales, but like our other Middle Eastern markets,

they are also facing high retail rents, increasing labour costs and staff shortages due to the changes in work visa

requirements. In line with our other Middle Eastern markets, our partners in Saudi are also optimising locations,

working to reduce overheads and increase customer reach.

Iraq too, is facing significant challenges, and while the brand did experience positive traction in this market, the political

and economic climate is now susceptible to volatility, and this is having an impact on trade. Only one store is now

trading in Iraq and we expect the situation there to remain as it is, or worsen, which could mean this single store in Iraq

may cease trading.

Overall, and as always, we continue to caution the market as to the future of the Middle Eastern region for BurgerFuel.

These countries remain uncertain and we anticipate further declines in our revenue from this market. That said, we

remain committed to supporting the BurgerFuel business in this region and will continue working closely with our

partners in each country.

United States


In the United States we have one licenced store in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, operated by our Licensee, Chris Mason.

Whilst the store has experienced a decline in sales in the past 12 months since opening, Chris remains focused on his

search for an established US partner. At this stage the US store continues to trade, and we will update the market if

anything changes.



Outlook


Last year we advised the market that BFW was transforming from a single brand, international company to a multi-

brand New Zealand company. This transition is going well, and we are pleased that we have managed to absorb all the

costs associated with this transition, as well as the costs to develop the new brands and provide an acceptable profit for

FY19. We will continue to focus on the opening of new restaurants in NZ and we look forward to updating the market

with these new openings as the year progresses.


As advised on the 15

th

February 2019, the board has sought input from KPMG’s Corporate Finance team to undertake a

full strategic options review of the business and to look at all potential opportunities for the Group. That review is now

underway.


A further matter is the dissolution of the NZAX. At this stage the Group will be migrating to the NZSX main board and

will continue to operate as a publicly listed company.





4





On the 28

th

April 2019 we completed the last tranche of the BFW share buyback from Franchise Brands. BFW bought

back and cancelled 5,963,355 (or 10%) shares in total, utilising its cash reserves. The total number of shares on issue in

BFW is now 53,670,195.


The Group is focused on profit and growth, as well as development in new areas beyond the BurgerFuel brand. We

thank all shareholders for their support, and we look forward to the year ahead.




Best regards,



Peter Brook Josef Roberts

Chairman Group CEO

SEGMENT REPORTING


Operating Segments


The Group operates in four operating segments; these operating segments have been divided into the following

geographical regions, New Zealand, Australia, USA and the Middle East. All the segment’s operations are made up of

franchising fees, royalties and sales to franchisees. The segments are in the business of Franchise Systems - Gourmet

Burger Restaurants. New Zealand’s segment result is also due to the amortisation of intangible assets.


The amounts provided to the Board with respect to total liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the

financial statements. These liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICY



NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related Clarifications to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts

with Customers (NZ IFRS 15) replace NZ IAS 18 Revenue (NZ IAS 18), NZ IAS 11 Construction Contracts (NZ IAS

11), and several revenue-related interpretations. The new standard has been applied retrospectively without restatement,

with the cumulative effect of initial application recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings

at 1 April 2018. In accordance with the transition guidance, NZ IFRS 15 has only been applied to contracts that are

incomplete as at 1 April 2018.


The adoption of NZ IFRS 15 has mainly affected the following areas:

• Franchising fees

• Master licensing agreement fees


On the date of initial application of NZ IFRS 15 on 1 April 2018, the impact to retained earnings of the Group is as

follows:


Impact Area Retained Earnings Effect

Franchising fees

1,138,106

Master Licence fees 863,789

IFRS 15 Tax adjustment (560,707)

Total 1,441,188





NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (NZ IFRS 9) replaces NZ IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement (NZ IAS 39). It makes major changes to the previous guidance on the classification and measurement of

financial assets and introduces an ‘expected credit loss’ model for the impairment of financial assets. It also considers

accounting for derivatives and hedge accounting arrangements, neither of which have been used by the Group.


When adopting NZ IFRS 9, the Group applied transitional relief that is provided for in this standard and opted not to

restate prior periods. Differences arising from the adoption of NZ IFRS 9 in relation to classification, measurement and

impairment have been recognised in retained earnings on the date of initial application, 1 April 2018. The Group’s trade

and other receivables, loans receivable and investments in financial assets measured at amortised cost, are affected by

applying NZ IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model. Contract assets arising from NZ IFRS 15 are also affected by

applying NZ IFRS 9’s expected credit loss model however the Group did not have any of these financial assets on the

date of initial application.


The adoption of NZ IFRS 9 has not impacted the classification and measurement of financial assets or the Group’s

decision not to use hedge accounting. It has however, had an impact on the way impairment losses have been

calculated, although this has not resulted in any quantitative change to the amount of impairment determined.


From 1 April 2018, NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 15 have been adopted, without restating comparative information. The

impact of the new standards has been recognised in the opening balance sheet of 1 April 2018.

BURGER FUEL WORLDWIDE LTD PRELIMINARY FULL

YEAR RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2019

OVERVIEW – FY19

The Directors of Burger Fuel Worldwide Limited (BFW) present the results for the 12 months to 31 March

2019. The audit of these results is in the process of being finalised.

Net Profit after tax for the period was $1,236,341 representing an increase of $1.7M on the previous

year.

The Group has no debt, and cash reserves of $5.5M.

BurgerFuel (unaudited) Total System Sales reduced (2.90%) to $102M on the same period last year. Group

Operating Revenue decreased by (15%) to $21.0M, however this decline is mainly due to the sale of the

company owned USA store to the Founding Director Chris Mason in March 2018, as well as some internal

changes. This internal change lowers revenue from our proprietary product manufacturing operation but

will ensure that this business unit becomes more financially efficient.

Revenue is largely comprised of sales from our company owned restaurants, manufacturing and long-term

recurring royalties.

As at 31 March 2019 there were 78 BurgerFuel stores operating worldwide and 2 single outlets in New

Zealand; one for each of our new concepts; Shake Out® & Winner Winner®.

BurgerFuel NZ continues to perform well, although we did experience less growth than we would have liked

in the period. At this stage we are not undertaking third party home delivery, as over time we believe it will

negatively affect both the brand and individual store profitability. This decision may have impacted our

growth numbers, however we remain committed to a no delivery policy at this stage. There are still some

opportunities for new BurgerFuel stores to open in NZ, but we will only undertake new openings if we can

achieve both the right locations as well as the accompanying franchisees.

We previously advised the market at the last AGM, that whilst we remain fully dedicated to supporting the

BurgerFuel brand and driving growth within the BurgerFuel business, the Group is now also focused on the

development of our other brands; Winner Winner, the chicken concept purchased by BFW in December

2017, and Shake Out, the new burger concept developed in-house. Our first Shake Out opened in

November 2018 at the Smales Farm complex in Auckland. This new company owned restaurant is

performing well and we are currently preparing to open more company owned and franchised Shake Out

stores in the current year.

The Winner Winner chicken brand we have been working on for the past year is now also ready to roll out.

We expect to open new Winner Winner restaurants in FY20.


THE MIDDLE EAST

The Middle East has been very challenging in recent years. We continue to face difficulties in those markets.

The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Iraq have all experienced competitive pressures as well as internal political and

economic issues over the past 2-3 years. In their own unique way each of these countries remain volatile to

sales which are in general, flat or declining.

The UAE especially, continues to see a significant slowdown in the retail sector and the competitor market is

becoming even more densely populated, both of which have been reflected in the slowing of sales. Our

licensees in the Middle East continue to face disproportionately high rental costs, and accordingly have

already closed a number of stores, with plans to close more stores that are no longer financially viable.

Our licensed business in Saudi Arabia has continued to see satisfactory sales, but like our other Middle

Eastern markets, they are also facing high retail rents, increasing labour costs and staff shortages due to the

changes in work visa requirements. In line with our other Middle Eastern markets, our partners in Saudi are

also optimising locations, working to reduce overheads and increase customer reach.

Iraq too, is facing significant challenges, and while the brand did experience positive traction in this market,

the political and economic climate is now susceptible to volatility, and this is having an impact on trade.

Only one store is now trading in Iraq and we expect the situation there to remain as it is, or worsen, which

could mean this single store in Iraq may cease trading.

Overall, and as always, we continue to caution the market as to the future of the Middle Eastern region for

BurgerFuel. These countries remain uncertain and we anticipate further declines in our revenue from this

market. That said, we remain committed to supporting the BurgerFuel business in this region and will

continue working closely with our partners in each country.


UNITED STATES

In the United States we have one licenced store in Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, operated by our Licensee,

Chris Mason. Whilst the store has experienced a decline in sales in the past 12 months since opening, Chris

remains focused on his search for an established US partner. At this stage the US store continues to trade,

and we will update the market if anything changes.


OUTLOOK

Last year we advised the market that BFW was transforming from a single brand, international company to a

multi-brand New Zealand company. This transition is going well, and we are pleased that we have managed

to absorb all the costs associated with this transition, as well as the costs to develop the new brands and

provide an acceptable profit for FY19. We will continue to focus on the opening of new restaurants in NZ

and we look forward to updating the market with these new openings as the year progresses.

As advised on the 15th February 2019, the board has sought input from KPMG’s Corporate Finance team to

undertake a full strategic options review of the business and to look at all potential opportunities for the

Group. That review is now underway.

A further matter is the dissolution of the NZAX. At this stage the Group will be migrating to the NZSX main

board and will continue to operate as a publicly listed company.

On the 28th April 2019 we completed the last tranche of the BFW share buyback from Franchise Brands.

BFW bought back and cancelled 5,963,355 (or 10%) shares in total, utilising its cash reserves. The total

number of shares on issue in BFW is now 53,670,195.

The Group is focused on profit and growth, as well as development in new areas beyond the BurgerFuel

brand. We thank all shareholders for their support, and we look forward to the year ahead.

Best regards,
