Media Release


28 August 2019


SCALES CORPORATION DELIVERS RECORD INTERIM RESULT INCLUDING PROFIT FROM

DIVESTMENTS


Highlights – 6 months to 30 June 2019


• Mr Apple own export volumes significantly ahead of forecast (3,822k TCEs vs forecast of

3,620k TCEs, 2018 – 3,862 TCEs), notwithstanding weather conditions that resulted in a

smaller average apple size.

• Strong performance in Asia and Near Markets, with volume and prices up – especially to

China.

• Continued progress on the Group’s refreshed strategy:

o Settlement of the sale of Polarcold to Emergent Cold.

o Establishment of a New Zealand joint venture petfood operation with Alliance Group.

o Integration of Scales’ 60% acquisition of Shelby Foods.

• A solid result from Food Ingredients whilst integrating the acquisition of Shelby and

establishing the petfood joint venture.


Diversified agribusiness group Scales Corporation Limited (NZX:SCL) today reported its results for

the six months ended 30 June 2019 (1H19). Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the Group was $121.8

million (1H18: $34.8 million). The record profit result includes profits and fair value gains, as a result

of divestment activity, of $93.2 million.


Underlying EBITDA

for continuing businesses was $47.3 million, in line with $47.1 million in 1H18,

and Underlying NPAT was $30.1 million compared to $29.4 million in 1H18.


Managing Director Andy Borland commented “We are pleased to deliver a strong result during such a

period of change for our business and team. Our Horticulture division has delivered an excellent

outcome, with apple volumes significantly ahead of forecasts. Total export volumes are likely to be

consistent with the record 2018 crop notwithstanding significant orchard redevelopment in the

intervening period. The result is also impressive given the more difficult growing conditions that

resulted in smaller apples. Our performance in the Asia and Near Markets continue to validate our

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation



strategy towards premium varieties targeted to those markets. Volumes to those markets, and

particularly to China, are notably up on last year and prices have performed well. A further 85

hectares of orchard are being redeveloped over the 2019 and 2020 winters.”


“The strong performance from these markets is partly offset by a slower start to the Europe market,

which continues to be affected by a larger than normal European crop – however the outlook for the

forthcoming European crop suggests this impact will not extend beyond the current season.”


“Our Food Ingredients division delivered a solid result whilst integrating new trading structures, with a

pleasing first six months of trading from Shelby and one-off profits relating to the establishment of

Meateor NZ, our petfood joint venture. We are beginning to see the benefits of increased

collaboration between the various entities and their stakeholders including sharing of customer

networks and merging of supply chain capabilities.”


“Logistics traded slightly ahead of 1H18, benefiting from additional space and resource and we

anticipate full year results for this business to be in line with expectations.”


Tim Goodacre, Chairman of Scales Corporation noted “We are pleased to reaffirm our previously

announced full year Underlying Net Profit guidance of between $32.0 million and $37.0 million

2


(implying an Underlying EBITDA of between $49.0 million and $55.0 million on a like-for-like basis).

We are proud of the efforts of the Scales team and believe that we can continue to deliver on our

strategy to diversify our operating units to ensure a more sustainable and robust earnings profile”


Scales dividend policy is for interim and final dividends to be split approximately evenly and paid in

January and July. Scales remains committed to its current annual dividend level of no less than 19c

cash per share whilst the company holds Net Cash.
