Financial result for the six months ended 30 September 2019 (Unaudited)


Commentary

Mainfreight is pleased to announce our half year financial results to 30 September 2019;

a satisfactory improvement on the prior period.


These financial results are our first presented under the new IFRS 16 Leases standard,

which took effect for our accounting periods commencing from 1 April 2019. For the

purpose of providing clarity when comparing current financial performance to the first six

months of the prior year, we have provided figures for the current period with and

without applying IFRS 16, in our financial statements and in this commentary.


Without IFRS 16 (“apples with apples”)

Revenue $1.500 billion Up $69.47 million or 4.9%

EBITDA* $119.11 million Up $10.77 million or 9.9%

Net profit $62.21 million Up $6.51 million or 11.7%


Adjusted for foreign exchange impact, revenue is up 4.3%, EBITDA up 9.7%, and net

profit (before abnormals) is up 10.8%. There are no abnormal costs included in this

half-year’s result.


Under IFRS 16 (“apples with oranges”)

Revenue $1.500 billion Up $69.47 million or 4.9%

EBITDA $176.46 million Up $68.11 million or 62.9%

Net profit $59.13 million Up $3.43 million or 6.2%

- 2 -

IFRS 16 introduces a single lessee accounting model, requiring Mainfreight as a lessee

to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months. As

a lessee, we are required to recognise a right-of-use asset representing our right to use

the underlying leased asset, and a lease liability representing our obligation to make

lease payments.


The impact on profit before tax for the half year is a decrease of $4.32 million (net profit

decrease of $3.08 million), but an increase in EBITDA of $57.34 million. Total assets

increased by $587.59 million to $2.203 billion.


This is a satisfactory result, reflecting our global presence. Continuing profit

improvement from Europe and the Americas has assisted overall performance, as we

continue to improve margins and services in both regions.


Our New Zealand and Australian operations have both had to contend with slowing

economic conditions and increased overhead costs. In Asia, our freight revenues

decreased as a result of the trade tariffs on the Asia/USA trade lanes and the

disruptions being experienced in Hong Kong, while our overhead costs increased with

our network expansion to Japan and Malaysia.


Divisional Performance (EBITDA shown pre-IFRS 16; figures in local currencies)


New Zealand (NZ$)

Revenue $362.57 million Up $19.45 million or 5.7%

EBITDA $46.78 million Up $1.35 million or 3.0%


Whilst overall results remain strong in New Zealand when compared to the prior year,

we have experienced a slowing in economic conditions particularly affecting domestic

Transport growth. Nevertheless we continue to increase market share across all three

products (Transport, Warehousing and Air & Ocean).


In our Transport business, the lower levels of sales growth and higher overhead costs

(increased salaries for those at the lower end of our pay range), have kept profit growth

below our expectations.

- 3 -

Our Warehousing business continues to attract new customers, with satisfactory

revenue and profit growth in the half year.


Air & Ocean operations achieved revenue and profit growth across both imports and

exports, and likewise in both sea and air freight modes.


Strong pre-Christmas freight volumes are evident across the business heading into the

second half, and our expectations are for improving results through to year end.


Australia (AU$)

Revenue AU$360.42 million Up AU$18.72 million or 5.5%

EBITDA AU$22.62 million Up AU$0.11 million or 0.5%


A disappointing profit result from our Australian business, primarily in our domestic

Transport operations. Our Warehousing and Air & Ocean businesses both achieved

satisfactory revenue and profit growth.


In our Transport business, revenue growth stalled at 2% as slowing economic

conditions saw reduced tonnage from our established customers. Whilst new business

continues to be won, it has not offset this down-trading during the first half. Increases in

our overhead cost structure, primarily labour costs, saw EBITDA decline on the prior

period.


In our Warehousing business, new customer gains lifted warehouse utilisation with

satisfactory profit improvements. Construction has commenced on our second

warehouse site in Epping, Melbourne.


Our Air & Ocean operations achieved better gross margins and saw export volumes in

both sea and air freight improve. Continuing momentum in the growth of perishable air

freight assisted.


While it has been a disappointing first half for our Australian business, pre-Christmas

volumes have seen weekly results further improve into the second half. We celebrated

our 30

th

year in Australia earlier this month.

- 4 -

Asia (US$)

Revenue US$35.99 million Down US$(4.34) million or (10.8)%

EBITDA US$2.79 million Down US$(0.38) million or (11.9)%


The Asian operations have seen freight volumes decrease across our major trading

lane, China to USA, with import tariffs having a greater effect than in the same period

last year (tariffs took effect early July 2018), but also as a result of the Hong Kong riots

particularly affecting confidence for air freight services.


In response, our team has focused on developing a greater diversity of markets, to

offset USA trade. This includes more intra-Asia trade and, of course, increasing market

share to and from our European locations.


Our entry into the Japanese and Malaysian markets has been satisfactory to date. We

expect to open our first branch in South Korea before 31 March 2020.


Europe (Euro €)

Revenue EU€193.77 million Up EU€11.44 million or 6.3%

EBITDA EU€13.90 million Up EU€3.49 million or 33.6%


A healthier result from our European operations, as we continue to gain market share

and improve business margins.


Whilst our Transport business has seen some down-trading from established

customers, market share gains have offset this, and much-improved efficiencies have

assisted gross margin increases.


Our Warehousing operations have absorbed the costs of two new warehouses in The

Netherlands (Zaltbommel and Born), improving revenue growth and profitability.

Significant effort is being applied to reducing casual labour costs and increasing

dedicated full-time team members, providing stability and improved quality and

efficiencies.

- 5 -

The Air & Ocean division has seen a decrease in air freight volume, similar to most of

our international divisions, but has seen gross margins improve as our focus on

developing LCL freight consolidations provides better returns. It is our intention to

expand our European Air & Ocean network into Spain, with our Barcelona branch

expected to open in January 2020.


We have an additional 30 team members who have taken on sales responsibilities in

these past six months and expect to see increased revenue contributions accordingly.


Post this half year result, revenue and profit performance from our Europe business has

continued at similar levels, and our expectations are for ongoing improvement.


The Americas (US$)

Revenue US$244.04 million Up US$6.89 million or 2.9%

EBITDA US$13.44 million Up US$2.45 million or 22.3%


An improved performance from our American businesses; sales revenue growth

occurred across all three Mainfreight divisions, with just CaroTrans (our NVOCC

wholesale sea freight business) seeing a reduction in export-related freight volume.


In our Transport operations, both sales revenues and profitability imp Simon Cotter

roved. Better freight management has seen gross margins increase with better

utilisation of dedicated Mainfreight road line-haul.


While Air & Ocean has seen increases in margin and revenue, this has been

dampened by reduced volumes as imports from China declined under tariff restrictions,

and with a general downturn in world air freight volumes.


Our Warehousing operations continue to see good demand for high quality

warehousing services and facilities, necessitating the opening of two new warehouses

in California, and better utilisation of our sites in the other four States where we are

located.


In CaroTrans, whilst revenues declined on the back of reduced LCL and FCL freight

shipments, gross margins improved resulting in increased EBITDA in the half year.

- 6 -

While these results are pleasing, our freight volumes within the USA still require

considerable growth, particularly in customer verticals that contribute better every day

volumes.


Group Operating Cash Flows

Operating cash flows were $73.96 million, up from $71.00 million in the prior year,

reflecting increased profitability and acceptable cash collection.


Net debt is $187.73 million, up from $130.48 million at 31 March 2019, an increase of

$57.25 million.


Gearing ratios increased from 13.5% at 31 March 2019 to 17.5%


During the half year, net capital expenditure totalled $90.53 million, with expenditure for

land and buildings accounting for $72.44 million, plant and equipment of $10.98 million,

and information technology of $7.11 million.


Our expectations are for capital expenditure for the full financial year ending 31 March

2020 to be in the range of $170 million, with a further $190 million estimated for capital

expenditure in the 2021 financial year.


Land and building projects across the New Zealand and Australian networks are

progressing, albeit more slowly than our original expectations. Construction schedules

in Tauranga and Melbourne are on target, however other large projects in both

countries are taking longer than anticipated.


Dividend

The Directors have approved an interim dividend of 25.0 cents per share fully imputed

at the 28% company tax rate, with the books closing on 6 December 2019; payment will

be made on 13 December 2019. This is a 13.6% increase on the prior year’s interim

dividend.



- 7 -

Outlook

A satisfactory half year result as a consequence of our global presence providing

growth and increased profitability across various markets, all with differing economic

climates and market share opportunities.


Our Asian business is not likely to finish the current year better than the year prior, as

we both expand our network in the region and deal with market volatility brought about

by national unrest (Hong Kong), US tariff disputes, and a slowing China economy.


It is our expectation that we will see increasing profitability and growth in our European

and American markets. Our traditional markets of New Zealand and Australia, whilst

flat by our standards in these first six months, are expected to improve further through

to year end, culminating in improved returns over the year prior.


While our core Australasian region is experiencing slowing economic conditions, other

parts of the network continue to find growth and increased profitability. This period to

30 September 2019 has demonstrated the benefits of our global network strategy, and

we expect an improved full year result accordingly.



Mainfreight will release its full year results for the 2020 financial year to the market on

27 May 2020.

5Segmental Reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses whose

operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group operates in the domestic supply chain (i.e. moving and storing freight within countries) and air and ocean freight industries

(i.e. moving freight between countries).

New Zealand, Australia, The Americas and Europe are each reported to management as one segment as the businesses there perform both

domestic and air and ocean services.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the notes in note 2 with the exception of

deferred tax and the fair value of derivative financial instruments which are not reported on a monthly basis.

The segmental results from operations are disclosed below.

Geographical Segments

The following table represents revenue, margin and certain asset information regarding geographical segments for the six months ended

30 September 2019 and 30 September 2018. Inter segment transactions are entered into on a fully commercial basis.
