COMMENTARY

Refining NZ has reported a Net Profit after Tax (NPAT)

of $4.2 million (2018: $30 million) for the year ended

31 December 2019.

Managing Director, Paul Zealand described the result as

disappointing given how well the business has performed

operationally, and that the confluence of market factors have

resulted in an unsustainably low margin environment in the

latter part of the year.

“The Gross Refining Margin averaged USD 5.34 for the year

(2018: USD 6.31 per barrel), weaker than expected global

refining margins, the result of a slowdown in the global economy,

compounded by US sanctions on Chinese crude tanker

companies, and additional refining capacity coming online

earlier than expected.”

“Demand in the Asia Pacific region was negatively impacted by

a glut of diesel and gasoline exports from China and India.

Crude freight rates increased from October while the expected

lift in diesel margins in the lead up to MARPOL did not

– Excellent operational performance. Operational

availability on the Refinery’s processing units was

at 99.7%. The utilisation rate on the Hydrocracker

unit was at its highest in ten years.


Crude throughput of 42.7 million barrels was up

around 6% on the previous year (2018:40.4 million

barrels), helped by there being no planned

maintenance Turnarounds in 2019.


Highest annual crude and condensate intake,

the highest annual refined product make

and customer product offtakes.

– Strong volume delivery on the RAP with annual

throughput at 20.8 million barrels, the second

highest on record.

materialise as expert market commentators had forecast,

though

High Sulphur Fuel Oil margins fell strongly.”

Mr Zealand said that given the headwinds in the market,

including the impact of Coronavirus on supply and demand, the

low margin environment will likely remain into the early part of

2020.

“Expert market commentators are expecting that refining

margins will improve in the near-to-mid-term, helped by

improving US/China trade relations. International energy

consulting company Facts Global Energy (FGE) is also expecting

diesel margins to lift as MARPOL compliant fuel demand

increases, which will increase hydrocracking margins,”

he said.

Mr Zealand confirmed that the result aligns with the Company’s

profit

matrix issued in February 2019 taking into account the

$3.8 million NPAT impact of the Transpower outage in

November. The FY 2019 result was assisted by a favourable

USD/

NZD exchange rate which averaged USD 0.66

for the year (2018: USD 0.69).

RESPONDI NG TO

LOW REFINING MARGINS

Mr Zealand said that the management team has been working

with the Board on a comprehensive plan to respond to the

weaker

than expected margin environment, with the objectives

of securing long term value for shareholders and deriving

maximum value from the Company’s significant infrastructure

assets.

“Given the uncertainties the refining sector is facing, we are

working to minimise cash spend and increase revenue. At the

same time we are looking at all tactical and strategic options

available to enable Refining NZ to stay at the core of the fuel

supply

chain in New Zealand.”

“Success will enable the Company to continue to add

resilience to the country’s fuel supply chain by optimising

our

essential infrastructure assets (refining, storage and

distribution) at Marsden Point .”

“Looking ahead, our substantial infrastructure investment and

deep technical capability means we will have a critical role in

producing the transport fuels New Zealand needs now, and for

a

future low carbon economy,” he said.

SAFETY

Mr Zealand described the Refinery’s personal and process

s

afety performance in 2019 as outstanding.

The lost time injury frequency rate (LTIF) at 0.13 was a

marked improvement on the prior year (2018: 0.48) with only

o

ne lost time injury during 2019. This reflects the success of

our safety culture programme E Tu Tangata (Stand in the Gap)

rolled out across the Refinery via a series of Hauora Korero

(safety

talks) and Hauora Hikoi (safety walks). The Refinery’s

process safety performance was also outstanding in 2019

with no significant process safety incidents (2018: 5).

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

Operational availability on the Refinery’s processing units was

at 99.7% with the utilisation rate on the Hydrocracker unit

at its highest in the past decade. This positive performance

was achieved despite a Transpower outage in the region

on the 27th of November, which saw a total loss of power

to the Refinery.

Several production records were achieved on the back

of reliable refining operations including the highest

annual crude and condensate intake, the highest

annual refined product make and customer product

offtakes. Operational availability on the Refinery to

Auckland pipeline was greater than 99% with the

annual pipeline throughput at 20.8 million barrels,

the second highest on record.

Mr Zealand confirmed that operating and capital costs had

remained tightly controlled during the year as Refinery

operations came under sustained pressure from higher

electricity and gas prices.

“Ongoing supply issues with the Pohokura offshore natural

gas field meant that access to natural gas supplies had

to be carefully managed during the year. Refining NZ has

subsequently contracted all of its natural gas requirements

for the next three years with a credible market participant

with diverse supply options.”

MARPOL

The Refinery has worked with its customers to manage the

introduction of 0.5% low sulphur fuel oil for shipping under

the 2020 IMO MARPOL regulations which came into force

on 1 January, 2020.

Said Zealand: “We are broadening our crude diet to minimise

the MARPOL impact on our fuel oil make. Four new, lower

cost crudes have been successfully tested and forward crude

procurement decisions by our customers are already being

made as a result. Refining these new crudes will lower crude

costs overall and can be expected to improve the Refinery’s

GRM from Q2 2020 onwards.”

2020 TURNAROUND

Preparations for planned maintenance Turnarounds

in March and April are well advanced with the preparedness

benchmarked as “top quartile” by recognised industry project/

Turnaround specialists.

GOVERNMENT INQUIRY

In September the Government Inquiry into the 2017 pipeline

outage and improving the resilience of the fuel supply into the

Auckland region, concluded that Refining NZ maintained and

operated the RAP properly and in keeping with all legal

requirements and standard industry practice.

Said Zealand: “Given our essential role in the transport fuels

supply chain, we were also encouraged by the Inquiry noting

that Refining NZ is working to make timely investment

decisions and that we have a clear goal of having new

infrastructure in place shortly before it is needed to meet

demand, rather than just in time or too late.”

“We continue to push for further legislative protections for the

pipeline and are working with the Government and industry

on ways to further improve the resilience of Auckland’s

fuel supply chain.”

EMISSIONS TRADING SCHEME

In 2019 the Government confirmed that Refining NZ will

be brought in to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme

(NZETS) as an Energy Intensive Trade Exposed (EITE)

business with an allocation of carbon units after the

Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement we have with the

Crown expires at the end of 2022.

Said Zealand: “This is an imperative for the Company and the

country, as we transition to a future based on the production

of lower carbon fuels. At the same time, we are mindful of the

potential disruption from further legislative reforms to the

NZETS currently before Parliament, in particular, a recently

announced review of unit allocation to EITE businesses.”

DIVIDEND

Given the challenging low margin environment the Company

is operating in, the Company’s Directors have resolved that

it is prudent to not pay a final dividend to shareholders.

With an interim dividend of two cents paid in September,

the total dividend payment for the year is two cents.

OUTLO

OK

Mr Zealand said that the poor margin situation at the end of

2019

has continued into the first two months of 2020 with

refining margins below the processing fee floor, exacerbated

by

the ongoing impact of Coronavirus on regional supply and

demand.

“Exactly how the supply adjusts to the full effect of

Coronavirus, the requirements of MARPOL, and other global

factors,

remains to be seen. This will likely result in ongoing

margin volatility as demand returns, stocks are released and

export refining

capacity comes back on stream, particularly

in Chi na.”

“Expert commentator FGE, is forecasting global oil demand

to rebound in 2H 2020 & 1H 2021, driven first and foremost,

by

growth in China.”

“Our team at Marsden Point remains focused on the safe

and reliable performance of our refining operations and the

multi-fuel pipeline to Auckland, as well as reducing our

operational

and capital spending in 2020. These actions

should ensure that the Refinery is well placed to benefit

when

global refining margins improve.”

(a) REPORTING ENTITY

The reporting entity is the consolidated group comprising The New Zealand Refining Company Limited (‘Parent’ or ‘Company’)

and its subsidiaries, Independent Petroleum Laboratory Limited, Maranga Ra Holdings Limited and Maranga Ra Limited (the Group).

The New Zealand Refining Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand with its registered

office at Marsden Point, Whangarei, New Zealand. All subsidiaries have a balance date aligned with the reporting date of the

Parent company.

The Parent operates New Zealand’s only oil refinery at Marsden Point near Whangarei as a toll refiner, and owns and operates a

pipeline, running from the refinery at Marsden Point to Wiri, located in South Auckland, transporting refined fuels for consumption

within the Auckland and Waikato markets. Independent Petroleum Laboratory provides specialised fuels, biofuels, and industrial and

environmental laboratory testing services. Maranga Ra Holdings Limited and Maranga Ra Limited were incorporated in December 2019,

ahead of the Company’s investment in the proposed solar farm development adjacent to the Refinery. These entities had no assets or

liabilities as at balance date.

The New Zealand Refining Company Limited is registered under the Companies Act 1993, is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange

(NZX) and is an FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (‘FMC Act 2013’).

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Directors on 26 February 2020.

(b) BASIS OF PREPARATION

These consolidated financial statements comply with:

• The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013;

• Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP);

• New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’), International Financial Reporting Standards

(IFRS) and other authoritative pronouncements of the External Reporting Board, as appropriate for for-profit entities.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for derivative financial instruments and plan

assets (included in the net defined benefit pension plan liability) which are measured at fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a GST exclusive basis.

Functional and presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($) which is the Group’s functional currency, and the

financial information has been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), unless otherwise stated.

Consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights

to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date

that control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation.

Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of impairment of the asset transferred.

The above Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is to be read in conjunction with the notes on pages 09 to 57.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

Use of judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to

exercise their judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated

and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable

under the circumstances.

The following areas involve estimates and assumptions that can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the consolidated

financial statements:

• Useful lives of the property, plant and equipment

The Group reassessed the remaining useful lives of the assets associated with the distribution segment (including the Refinery

to Auckland Pipeline). As a result of the remaining life assessment carried out by independent pipeline experts, Rosen Group,

and valuation specialist BECA Limited, the weighted average remaining useful life has been extended from 19 to 31 years

(resulting in a decrease in annual depreciation by approximately $2 million). The remaining useful lives of the assets

associated with the refining assets are considered appropriate.

• Impairment assessment of assets

The carrying value of the Group’s assets were tested for impairment as at 31 December 2019. Key judgements underpinning

this assessment include:

- The Parent Company’s site consents and jetty lease will be renewed prior to expiry in May 2022 and September 2024,

respectively, and

- The Parent Company will enter the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme as an Energy Intensive Trade Exposed entity when

the Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement with the Crown expires in January 2023.

It is the opinion of Management that the risks of the not gaining environmental consents on a commercially acceptable basis or not

entering into the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme as an Energy Intensive Trade Exposed entity are relatively low.


On this basis, the Group has estimated the recoverable amount of its assets on a value in use basis and determined that there is

no impairment under a range of reasonably possible scenarios. Not renewing the site consents or jetty lease, or renewing for a

significantly shorter period of time than expected, would result in an impairment.


Management and the Board have used their refining industry experience and external sources of information, where appropriate,

to determine their expectations of the future. The key assumptions used in the impairment testing are outlined below. While

the sensitivities outlined in the following table highlight the absolute movement in each key assumption that would result in the

elimination of the excess of recoverable amount over carrying amount, a lesser movement in a combination of each of those key

assumptions could also lead to a similar result.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ for the first time in the annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2019. The Group

applied the simplified retrospective transition approach. Further details on the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ and the impact on the

Group’s financial performance and position are disclosed in Note 9, Lease liabilities.

There were no other new and amended standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) or the New Zealand

Accounting Standards Board (NZASB) mandatory for the year ended 31 December 2019, that were considered to have a material impact

to the Group.

New and amended standards not yet effective and not early adopted by the Group

The IASB has issued a number of standards, amendments and interpretations which are not yet effective and which may have an impact

on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

PERFORMANCE

This section focuses on Refining NZ’s financial performance and the returns provided to equity holders. The following notes are included:

Note 1: Segment reporting

Note 2: Income and expenses

Note 3: Related parties

Note 4: Taxation

Note 5: Earnings per share

1. SEGMENT REPORTING

(a) Identification and description of reportable segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Leadership Team, identified as the

chief operating decision-maker. The Leadership Team reviews the Group’s internal reporting of oil refining and distribution separately

in order to assess their performance and allocate resources. The operating segments, based on these reports are as follows:

Oil Refining

The Parent owns and operates an oil refinery located at Marsden Point, 160 kilometres north of Auckland. The oil refinery is able to

process a wide range of crude oil types imported from around the world.

Distribution

The Parent owns infrastructure to support the distribution of manufactured products to its customers. The Refinery to Auckland Pipeline

(RAP) transfers product to the Wiri Oil terminal located in South Auckland (refer note 3).

Other

Other includes the subsidiary companies’ operations and properties. These have not been included in a reportable segment as they are

not separately reported to the Leadership Team.

Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length and represent charges by the subsidiary companies (included in “Other”) to

Oil Refining. The revenue from external parties reported to the Leadership Team is measured in a manner consistent with that in the

Income Statement. All revenue is generated in New Zealand.

Revenue derived from major customers, and the relevant operating segments, is disclosed in note 3.

(b) Reporting measures

The performance of the operating segments is based on earnings before depreciation, finance costs and income tax and net profit after

income tax. This information is measured in a manner consistent with that in the consolidated financial statements.

The Group manages assets and liabilities on a central basis and therefore does not provide any segment information of this nature.

2. INCOME AND EXPENSES
P

Revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. Processing fees, pipeline fees and other

services provided by the Group are identified as distinct performance obligations which are satisfied over time and for which

a transaction price is separately determined and allocated. No significant judgement is involved in the price determination and

allocation. An output method is applied to measure progress of the services provided. The Group does not have contracts with

customers where significant financing components, non-cash considerations or consideration payable to customers, obligations

for refunds or specific warranties would be existent. Specific accounting policies are as follows:

Refining revenue


Processing fees and other processing related fees, such as blending and reprocessing (presented as “Other refining related

income”) are recognised over time as processing services are delivered. The revenue from processing and other processing related

fees is recognised in the amounts invoiced, applying paragraph B16 of NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’,

reflecting actual volumes processed (including intermediate products), adjusted for fee floor and cap, when applicable.

The cost of natural gas, used by the Parent in the refining process, is recovered from customers and presented as a component

of refining revenue; the Parent acts as principal with respect to procuring and selling natural gas.

Distribution revenue

Pipeline and terminalling fee revenue is recognised over time as refined products are delivered to the Wiri Oil terminal in South

Auckland, and in the amount to which the Group has a right to invoice customers, applying the practical expedient in NZ IFRS 15,

within an operating period.

Rental income from operating leases (including Wiri Oil terminal rental) is recognised on a straight-line basis in accordance with

the substance of the relevant agreements.

Other revenue

Revenue from other contracts (primarily relating to provision of services) is recognised over time as goods or services are

delivered to customers.

Insurance recoveries

Following the Refinery to Auckland pipeline rupture on 14 September 2017, the Parent Company incurred costs associated with repairs

to the pipeline and the recovery and remediation of the leak site which was completed in May 2018.

The Company had insurance policies to cover both environmental remediation and loss of revenue following the incident. In this

financial year the Company recognised $2.1 million of insurance recoveries as “Other income” (2018: $1.8 million) under the material

damage and business interruption policy for loss of revenue.

4. TAXATION
(a) Income tax expense

P

The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year’s taxable income based on the New Zealand income

tax rate on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period, adjusted by changes in

deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their

carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements and to unused tax losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities arise from temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their

carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements, and are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected

to apply when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates which are enacted or substantively

enacted. An exception is made for certain temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future

taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are

also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

DEBT AND EQUITY
The Group’s objective when managing capital (net assets of the Group) is to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern

in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an appropriate capital structure. The

Group borrows under a negative pledge arrangement (refer note 8). The Group monitors rolling forecasts which take into consideration

the Group’s debt financing plans and covenant compliance, to ensure that it is able to continue meeting funding requirements.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to

shareholders, or issue new shares.

This section outlines Refining NZ’s capital structure and includes the following Notes:

Note 6: Equity

Note 7: Dividends

Note 8: Borrowings

Note 9: Lease liabilities

6. EQUITY

Contributed equity

The issued capital of the Company is represented by 312,576,453 no par value ordinary shares (2018: 312,576,453) issued and fully paid,

less 417,644 (2018: 375,848) treasury shares held by CRS Nominees Limited (refer to note 21). All ordinary shares rank equally with one

vote attached to each ordinary share.

Treasury stock

Treasury stock represents the value of shares acquired by the Parent on-market in respect of the Employee Share Purchase Scheme

(refer to note 21).

Employee share entitlement reserve

The employee share entitlement reserve is used to recognise the fair value of shares granted but not vested. Amounts are transferred

to share capital when the shares vest to the employee (refer to note 21).

Cash flow hedge reserve

The cash flow hedge reserve comprises the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of hedging instruments used

in cash flow hedges pending subsequent recognition in the income statement.

The dividends were fully imputed. Supplementary dividends of $0.750 million (2018: $1.532 million) were paid to shareholders who were

not tax residents in New Zealand for which the Group received a foreign investor tax credit entitlement.

Imputation credits available to shareholders for subsequent reporting periods amount to $23.589 million as at 31 December 2019

(2018: $30.441 million).

Dividend declared post balance date

The Group has declared no final dividend (2018: 4.5 cents per share).

8. BORROWINGS

P

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at

at least 12 months after the balance date.

*The carrying value of the subordinated notes as at 31 December 2019 amounts to $74.5 million. The difference between the carrying value and the $75 million face value is due to

interest and issue costs. While the expiry date of the subordinated notes is on 1 March 2034, the maturity profile reflects the notes as maturing in 2024 on the basis that – as a

result of an election process – the Company may elect to either redeem the notes or offer new conditions to the noteholders.

8. BORROWINGS (continued)
The carrying amounts of borrowings approximate their fair value. The borrowings are unsecured. The Parent borrows under a negative

pledge arrangement which requires certain certificates and covenants, including debt to total debt and equity, security to tangible

assets and EBITDA to interest ratios. All of these requirements have been met.

The Parent has the ability to determine which revolving cash advance facility will be drawn upon to meet funding requirements.

In February 2019 the Company reduced its existing committed bank facility limits from $350 million to $275 million and extended the

$50 million facility expiring in March 2019 to March 2021. In December 2019, the Company extended its $95 million facilities expiring in

March 2020 to March 2025. In addition, as at 31 December 2019 the Company held $35 million of uncommitted facilities. The purpose

of the uncommitted facilities is to support short dated debt drawings.

9. LEASE LIABILITIES

Adoption of NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’

NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ was issued in February 2016 and is mandatory for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

It has resulted in more leases being recognised on the balance sheet for lessees, as the distinction between operating and finance

leases is removed. Under the new standard, an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability to pay rentals are

recognised. The only exemptions for the Group are short-term and low value leases. The accounting treatment for lessors has not

significantly changed under the new standard.

The Group applied the simplified retrospective transition approach where outstanding lease payments are discounted using the

incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019. This results in the right-of-use asset being recognised at an amount equal to the lease

liability. The Group applied the transitional provisions of NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ which allowed it to not account for:

• leases, where the lease term ends within 12 months of 1 January 2019, and

• contracts which had not been previously recognised aa leases in accordance with either NZ IAS 17 ‘Leases’ or NZ IFRIC 4

‘Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease’.

The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised in the balance sheet at the date of

initial application was 4%. The variance between operating lease commitments disclosed at 31 December 2018 and Lease liabilities at

1 January 2019 is outlined in the table below:

Finance leases – Group as a lessee

P

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for

use by the Group. Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Each lease payment

is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to income statement over the lease period so as

to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is

depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense

in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

9. LEASE LIABILITIES (continued)
The right-of-use assets are presented in the Group’s balance sheet separately and relate to the lease of:

• land, foreshore license and barge ramp where the oil tanker jetty is located. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the period

until the expiry of the lease;

• platinum held in catalysts used in the oil refining process. The leased platinum must be returned to the lessor at the end of the

lease term. The estimated cost of reclamation, discounted to present value, is included as a provision in the Group’s balance sheet,

refer to note 13. The lease payments are variable and represent interest paid to the lessor based on an agreed fixed rate and with

reference to the market value of the leased platinum.

There are no restrictions or covenants imposed by leases, or exposure arising from residual value guarantees. Extension and

termination options included in some leases are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts and are

exercisable by the Group.

OPERATING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This section shows the assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance and the liabilities incurred as a result. Liabilities

relating to the Group’s financing activities are detailed in the Debt and Equity section of the Notes. Taxation assets and liabilities are

detailed in the Performance section of these Notes.

This section includes the following Notes:

Note 11: Operating leases

Note 12: Capital commitments

Note 13: Provisions

Note 14: Trade and other receivables

Note 15: Cash and cash equivalents

Note 16: Inventories

Note 17: Trade and other payables

Note 18: Employee benefits

10. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, AND INTANGIBLES

P


Property, plant and equipment and intangibles are initially recognised at cost which includes expenditures directly attributable to

the acquisition. Cost also includes any transfers from the cash flow hedge reserve (as a basis adjustment) and borrowing costs

directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.

Subsequent costs are included in the assets’ carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured

reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced asset is derecognised.

Major inspections associated with planned plant shutdowns and tank maintenance are capitalised at cost and recognised

in the carrying amount of the refining plant, provided the recognition criteria are met.

When an asset is disposed of, any gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between the disposal proceeds and

the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised as a gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment and presented

in ‘Other gains’ or ‘Total depreciation and disposal costs’ in the Income Statement.

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying

amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement for the amount by

which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, being the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and

its value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately

identifiable cash flows (cash generating units).

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on all property, plant and equipment other than freehold land, capital work in

progress and precious metals (rhenium, platinum) contained in certain catalysts.

Intangibles relate to the New Zealand Units (NZUs) issued by the Crown to the Parent company, pursuant to the company’s

Negotiated Greenhouse Agreement (NGA), which is valid until 2022. The Company is currently exempted from the Emissions

Trading Scheme (ETS) due to the NGA and the Company’s demonstrated commitment to progress in reduction of energy intensity

along a world’s best practice pathway.

The Company is in dialogue with the Government to include Refining NZ in the ETS as Energy Intensive Trade Exposed at the

expiry of the NGA. The NZUs are measured at historical cost and used to offset liabilities arising from carbon dioxide emissions.

An assessment of impairment is performed annually with reference to external sources of information (market values of NZUs).

The capital work in progress as at 31 December 2019 has been assessed by management, company project engineers and project

managers as being recoverable.

PROVISIONS

12,643

10,866

The restoration provision relates to restoration obligations in relation to a lease agreement for the seabed upon which the jetty is

situated at Marsden Point.

The platinum reclamation provision relates to leased platinum recognised on transition to NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (refer to note 9 for

further details).

P

The restoration provision is measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation

using a pre-tax interest rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to

the obligation.

Changes in the estimates during the year are recorded as a change in the restoration provision and the respective asset.

Increase in the provision due to passage of time (unwinding of discount) is recognised as finance costs.

E

The present value of the restoration provision depends on a number of assumptions including estimated timing, restoration costs

and the discount rate used. Management assesses the appropriateness of the assumptions at each balance date. Any changes

in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the restoration provision.

This provision may be utilised at the lease expiry in 2025, however the expectation is that the agreement will be renegotiated

for a further term. An interest rate of 1.83% (2018: 2.74%) has been applied and set with reference to New Zealand Government

Bonds as a risk free rate.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest

rate method, less impairment. Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost on the basis that they are held within a business

model in order to collect, on specified dates, contractual payments of principal.

Trade receivables in respect of processing fees and distribution are due from customers, and non-interest bearing and are normally

settled on 7 to 21 day terms.

Excise duty receivable is due from customers and collected by the Parent on behalf of the New Zealand Customs Service and paid on

the same day each month (corresponding offset is presented as a payable in note 17).

Other receivables and prepayments generally arise from transactions outside the usual operating activities of the Group, for example

prepaid insurance premiums.

The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the

customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for

the time value of money.

No allowance for impairment loss has been recognised as at 31 December 2019 (2018: Nil). Credit risk disclosures required pursuant to

NZ IFRS 9 are outlined in note 19(b).

The carrying value of trade receivables approximates their fair values.

Trade and other receivables related party balances are disclosed in note 3.

Inventories are reviewed annually for impairment. The inventory obsolescence depends on a number of assumptions, including

age and condition of each of the individual inventory items. As at 31 December 2019 management has written down the carrying

value of some inventories to estimated net realisable value, taking into account the above assumptions.

The consumption of inventories and any associated write downs are recognised as part of Purchase of process materials and utilities

18. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (continued)
(a) Defined benefit pension plan

Nature of benefits

Total membership of the scheme as at 31 December 2019 was 196 (2018: 199). This total membership includes 66 (2018: 74) current

staff members contributing to the scheme, who have pension entitlements based on final salary and membership. At retirement,

members may elect to exchange part, or all, of their pension for a cash lump sum. The balance of the membership of the Plan is 123

(2018: 118) pensioners receiving regular pension payments; and 7 (2018: 7) members receiving disability pensions, which can be paid

from the Plan until normal retirement age.

Description of regulatory framework

The Financial Markets Authority licenses and supervises regulated superannuation schemes. The Fund is an employer related restricted

workplace savings scheme under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (the Act).

The Act requires an actuarial valuation to be performed for each defined benefit superannuation scheme at least every three years

to assess whether the Company’s current level of contributions to the Plan is sufficient to meet future obligations (funding valuation).

For detail regarding the latest funding valuation see note 18(h).

At each balance date an accounting update is performed by an independent actuary in accordance with NZ IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”

for recording in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The last full actuarial valuation performed under the Superannuation Schemes Act

1989 was as at 31 March 2019.


Description of other entities’ responsibilities for the governance of the fund

The Trustees of the Fund are responsible for the governance of the Fund. The Trustees are appointed by the Company and have a legal

obligation to act solely in the best interests of the Fund beneficiaries. The Trustees have the following roles:

• Administration of the Fund and payment to the beneficiaries from Plan assets when required in accordance with the Plan rules.

• Management and investment of the Plan assets.

• Compliance with superannuation law and other applicable regulations.

Description of risks

Under the defined benefit pension plan the Group has a legal obligation to pay further contributions if the Fund does not hold sufficient

assets to pay all employees the benefits they are entitled to. There are a number of risks that could expose the Company to such a

shortfall; the more significant risks being:

• Investment returns – the funding valuation assumes a certain return on assets, which will be available to fund liabilities. Lower

than assumed returns could require the Company to increase contributions to offset the shortfall.

• Life expectancy – the majority of the Plan’s obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life

expectancy will result in an increase in the Plan’s liabilities.

The Plan liabilities are calculated, for financial reporting purposes, using a discount rate set with reference to New Zealand Government

Bonds. A decrease in the government bond yield will increase Plan liabilities for financial reporting purposes, but not necessarily impact

upon the funding requirements of the Company.

Description of significant events

There were no Fund amendments, curtailments or settlements during 2019 (2018: Nil).

P


Defined benefit pension plan (scheme closed since 31 December 2002)

The Parent contributes to a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) for eligible employees. The liability recognised in the

Consolidated Balance Sheet in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit pension

plan obligation at the balance date less the fair value of plan assets.

The defined benefit pension plan obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit

method. The present value of the defined benefit pension plan obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future

cash outflows using interest rates of government bonds that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related

pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to

equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

Past-service costs are recognised immediately in the Consolidated Income Statement.

P


Medical plan (scheme closed since 1996)

The Parent pays health insurance premiums in respect of 21 former and current employees when they retire, until their death.

This arrangement is no longer offered to new employees. The medical plan is accounted for in a similar manner to the defined

benefit plan outlined above, with an accounting valuation performed by an independent actuary at each balance date.

P


Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

These liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when settled.

P


Employee incentive schemes

The Company offers a short term incentive scheme to eligible employees which recognises both individual and

Company performance.

The Group recognises a provision where contractually obliged or where there is past practice that has created a

constructive obligation.

P


Long-service leave and retirement bonus

Long service leave and retirement bonuses are measured based on an actuarial assessment and represent the present value of

the estimated future cash outflows, which are expected as a result of employee services provided up to the balance date.

E

The present value of the defined benefit pension plan obligation depends on a number of factors that are determined by an

independent actuary using a number of assumptions, including the expected rate of salary increases, mortality in retirement and

an appropriate discount rate. These assumptions are determined by the Group, in consultation with the independent actuary who

performs an accounting valuation in accordance with NZ IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’ at each balance date. Any changes in these

assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

As at 31 December 2019 the following actuarial assumptions were applied:

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice,

this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis are consistent with those applied during the

comparative reporting period.

(g) Maturity profile of defined benefit obligation

The average term at which the expected future discounted cash flows are due is 13 years (2018: 12 years).

The average undiscounted expected term of all liabilities is 15 years (2018: 16 years).

(h) Funding arrangements

The Actuary determines the Pension Plan’s financial position (funding valuation) every three years in accordance with the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013. The last funding valuation was completed as at 31 March 2019, at which time the Plan was fully funded

based on the assumptions used by the Actuary. These assumptions were consistent with the actuarial assumptions presented in note

18(e), except for the discount rate determined based on the expected long term future returns of the plan rather than the risk free rate

of return.

The funding objective adopted at the 31 March 2019 funding valuation is to ensure that the Fund’s assets are not less than the value

of accrued benefits. The Company contributes a fixed amount of $1.5 million (including contributions tax at 33%) and a lump sum

contribution to fund new disability pensions. The next statutory valuation is due no later than 31 March 2022.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
This section outlines the key risk management activities undertaken to manage the Group’s exposure to financial risk.

This section includes the following Notes:

Note 19: Financial risk management

Note 20: Derivative financial instruments

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks (market, credit and liquidity) in the normal course of the Group’s business.

Risk management is performed by Group Management who evaluate and hedge certain financial risks including currency risk and

interest rate risk under a Treasury Policy that is approved by the Board of Directors.

(a) Market risk

Market risk includes refining margin, electricity pricing, currency and interest rate risk.

Refining margin risk

The refining margin (margin) generated by the Group is a key input to the calculation of the processing fee revenue which comprises

70% (2018: 71%) of the Group’s total operating revenue. Processing fee revenue is set as 70% of the gross refining margin generated,

subject to a fee floor of $136 million (2018: $134 million), and margin cap of USD9.00 per barrel for each customer. This 70/30 split of

the refining margin reflects the fact that Refining NZ’s customers bear the risks and associated costs of crude purchasing, the finance

and currency costs and risks associated with maintaining crude, feedstock and product inventories, shipping and demurrage risks and

guaranteeing a minimum processing fee.

The margin is calculated as the typical market value of all the products produced, minus the typical market value of all feedstock

processed. The typical market value of products is determined by using quoted prices for the products in Singapore plus the typical

freight cost to New Zealand plus product quality premia. The typical value of feedstock is determined by using the market value for

crude oil and other feedstock at the point of purchase, plus the typical cost of freight to New Zealand.

Refining margin risk is the risk of volatility in the typical product and feedstock prices to which the Group is exposed. The Group’s

revenue is likely to be impacted, favourably or unfavourably, during periods of market price volatility. The Group does not hedge this risk.

The downside in the volatility of margin and foreign exchange risk is limited by the processing fee floor, which comes into effect if the

total processing fee for a calendar year does not exceed a minimum value. The fee floor is subject to annual Producers Price Index (PPI)

based escalation.

Electricity

The Group is also exposed to commodity price risk in relation to the purchase of electricity. This exposure exists as a result of the Group

purchasing electricity via the New Zealand Electricity Wholesale Market, which is subject to price volatility caused by both demand/

supply and transmission constraints. The Group uses electricity futures and Contracts for Differences to hedge the electricity price risk.

19. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)
Currency risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of transactions denominated in currencies other than the Group’s functional

currency. The primary currencies giving rise to the currency risk are US dollar, Singaporean dollar, Euro and Australian dollar. Currency

risk arises from the processing fee (being calculated in US dollars and billed in New Zealand dollars) and future commercial transactions

(purchase of property, plant and equipment, goods or services).

The Group may enter into hedging agreements with Board approval and in accordance with the Group’s Treasury Policy which requires

all purchases of all capital items of value exceeding certain thresholds to be hedged with either forward exchange contracts or

currency options.

Interest rate risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from fixed term borrowings at floating interest rates. The Group uses interest rate swaps to manage

the interest rate risk. The swaps are floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps under which the Group agrees with other parties to exchange

the difference between fixed contract rates and floating interest rates calculated, on a quarterly basis, with reference to the agreed

notional amounts. Refer to note 20 for further information.

Sensitivity analysis

The graphs below summarise the potential impact of each type of market risk exposures on the Group’s profit before tax and equity

(assuming all other factors remain unchanged), except for electricity risk which was effectively hedged in 2018 and 2019.

• Price risk – an increase and decrease of refining margin by USD1.00 per barrel.

against foreign currencies, such as US dollar, Singaporean dollar, Euro and Australian dollar. A 10% movement in foreign currencies

is considered as reasonably possible given the volatility in foreign exchange rates in the prior years.

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions,

as well as credit exposures to customers from outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

For banks only parties with a minimum long-term credit rating of A+ or A1 are accepted. Gross limits are set for financial institutions

and the usage of these limits is determined by assigning product weightings to the principal amount of the transaction.

Transactions are spread across a number of counterparties to avoid concentrations of credit exposure. No credit limits were exceeded

during the reporting period and Management does not expect any losses from non-performance by counterparties.

The Group is exposed to credit risk if counterparties fail to make payments as they fall due in respect of payment of trade receivables

as invoices fall due 7-14 days for the Parent and 30 days for its subsidiary after being raised. The receivables from the oil companies

(as disclosed in the related party note 3) present a concentration of credit risk, however, Management has assessed the credit quality

of these customers as being high. Based on the analysis of the historical payments of the Group’s customers and with reference to

their credit rating and short payment terms, the Group assessed the expected credit losses to be immaterial. No collateral is held over

trade receivables.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at balance date is the carrying amount of the financial assets.

Overdue trade receivable balances at 31 December 2019, which were subsequently paid in January 2020, totalled $0.343 million

(2018: $1.206 million). Management consider that these balances are not impaired.

(c) Liquidity risk

The Group monitors rolling forecasts of liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while

maintaining sufficient headroom on the Group’s undrawn borrowing facilities (note 8).

Surplus cash held by the Group over and above the balance required for working capital management is invested in interest bearing

current accounts, term deposits, and money market deposits, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity

to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.

Non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table sets out the maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities based on the contractual terms as at

balance date. The amounts presented are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and are based on the expiry of the bank facility

or maturity of the subordinated notes.

The liquidity analysis set out below discloses cash outflows resulting from the financial liabilities only, and does not consider expected

net cash inflows from financial assets (including trade receivables) or undrawn debt facilities which provide liquidity support to the

Group. Contractual cash flows associated with bank borrowings include interest for the period until the debt rollover date (typically

within 6 months from the balance date) and subordinated notes include interest in the period until their expiry on 1 March 2034.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The Group’s financial instruments have been measured at the fair value measurement hierarchy of:

• Level 1 for electricity futures;

• Level 2 for interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts.

Electricity futures are traded on an active market, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Group uses ASX mark-to-market quotes

to determine the fair value of the futures contracts and contracts for differences.


Interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts are not traded in an active market and their fair value is determined by

using accepted valuation techniques. Specific valuation techniques used by the Group refer to observable market data and include:

• The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable

yield curves, and

• The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at the balance date, with the

resulting value discounted back to present value.

20. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

P

At initial recognition, the derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered

into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The fair value of derivative financial instruments approximates their

carrying value.

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. The Group designates certain

derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction

(cash flow hedge).

At inception each transaction is documented, detailing the economic relationship and the hedge ratio between hedging

instruments and hedged items, the risk management objective and strategy, and the assessment, initially and on an ongoing

basis, of whether the derivatives used in the hedging transaction are highly effective.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is

recognised in equity in the cash flow hedge reserve. Hedge effectiveness is determined at inception of the hedge relationship,

and through periodic effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item

and hedging instrument. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in other operating


gains/losses in the Income Statement.

The net movement in the cash flow hedge reserve comprises:

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the hedged item is

more than 12 months.

Financial instruments are measured at fair value using the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

• Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1),

• 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 2), and

• Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

Note 23: Auditor’s fees

21. EMPLOYEE SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

P

Share-based payments with employees, classified as equity-settled transactions, are recognised as an expense with a

corresponding entry to employee share entitlement reserve, and measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at

grant date. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of shares that will ultimately vest over the

vesting period. The shares purchased by the Parent on market are accounted for as Treasury Stock.

The Company operates an Employee Share Purchase Scheme (“scheme”) which qualifies as an “Exempt ESS” under section CW26C

of the Income Tax Act 2007. Eligible employees are offered $1,000 worth of shares, multiplied by the Business Performance Factor

(BPF) during the year of award and increased by an employee contribution of $1. The shares are purchased on-market and held by CRS

Nominees Limited, during a three year vesting period. As at 31 December 2019 there have been 92,910 shares vested to the Company

employees (31 December 2018: Nil).

The details of the scheme, including expenses arising from the scheme (as presented in Employee Share Scheme Entitlement Reserve),

For all hedges the quantity of the hedging instrument matched the quantity of the hedged items therefore the hedge ratios were 1:1.

The forward exchange contracts are hedging committed or highly probable forecast purchases of property, plant and equipment

denominated in foreign currency expected to occur at various dates with maturities between 2020 and 2021. At balance date all forward

exchange contracts had been designated as hedges and there was no ineffectiveness to be recorded from these cash flow hedges.

Interest rate swaps are used to hedge highly probable cash flows associated with interest costs on borrowings and are used to convert

floating rate positions into fixed rate positions. As all critical terms matched during the year, the economic relationship was 100%

effective, and there was no ineffectiveness recorded from these hedges.

Electricity futures and contracts for differences are used to hedge highly probable cash flows associated with purchases of electricity at

spot market and an ineffective portion of the hedge may occur due to a volume mismatch and location factor. At balance date the hedge

ineffectiveness from these cash flow hedges amounted to $73 thousand (2018: $29 thousand).

Auditor change

In December 2019, the Company aligned its audit independence policy and its external audit services with the guidance given by the

Financial Markets Authority (FMA) Handbook ‘Audit quality – a director’s guide’ issued in November 2019, covering auditor selection,

auditor independence and the audit process itself.

In accordance with the Company’s revised Auditor Independence policy statement, the Board carried out a market assessment of

external audit services – which included consideration of the level of non-assurance services provided and the length of tenure of the

current auditor – and appointed Ernst & Young (EY) to provide external audit services to the Company. Consequently, the Board and

PwC reached a mutual agreement that PwC resign from their audit role.

EY will stand for reappointment by all shareholders at Refining NZ’s Annual Meeting to be held on 29 April 2020.

Other services

• Consulting Fee – strategic review

In 2018 the Board engaged Strategy&, part of the PwC global network, to undertake a one-off advisory service, following a

comprehensive tender evaluation process. The services were provided by a consulting team based out of Australia, independent

of the New Zealand audit team, and the Board and management retained full responsibilities for all decisions made both during

and following the review.

• Executive Development Course Fees and Remuneration market data report

The fees were paid to EY prior to their appointment as auditors of the Company and relate to course fees for the EY Darden

Executive Development Program and a remuneration market data report.

Independent Auditor’s Report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NEW ZEALAND REFINING COMPANY LIMITED GROUP

PROCESSING FEE REVENUE

Why significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matter

The most significant revenue stream of the Group,

and a key determinant of its profitability, is processing

fee revenue. In 2019 this amounted to $242m of the

total Group revenue of $348m.

Processing fees are material related party transactions

with the Group’s shareholding oil companies, who are

also its customers.

The processing fee calculation is complex and includes

many variables. The calculation is based on an agreed

formula defined in the processing agreements with each

of the oil companies. Note 19 (a) discloses a summary of

the method of calculation and the key inputs into the

calculation of the processing fees.

Notes 2 and 3 of the consolidated financial statements

explain the accounting policies used and an analysis

of processing fee revenue.

In obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence:

• We evaluated the Group’s process for calculating and

recording processing fee revenue. We understood and

verified the design of key controls including

management’s review and authorisation of monthly

processing fee calculations.

• We agreed the processing fee calculation methodology

used to recognise revenue to the method and pricing

prescribed in the processing fee agreements and on a

sample basis reperformed the calculation of the

processing fee for each of the customers.

• We agreed key inputs used in the calculation, on a

sample basis, to source documents.

• We confirmed the total annual processing fee with

each customer.

• We tested payments received from the oil companies

during the year and agreed post year-end cash receipts

from each of the customers to the outstanding

receivables at year end.

• We reviewed the Group’s accounting policy and related

disclosures with regard to the disclosure requirements

of IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’

and IAS 24 ‘Related Parties’.

REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The New Zealand Refining Company (“the Company”) Group and its

subsidiaries (together “the Group”) on pages 01 to 57 , which comprise the consolidated balance sheet of the Group

as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income,

consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended of the

Group, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 01 to 57 present fairly, in all material respects, the

consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019 and its consolidated financial performance and cash

flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

and International Financial Reporting Standards.

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 and the company’s shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our responsibilities under

those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of

our report.

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 we have fulfilled our

other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Ernst & Young provided remuneration benchmarking and executive development course services to the Group. Partners

and employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the

business of the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the

consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, but we do not provide a separate opinion

on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

section of the audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of

procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements.

The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis

for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

REFINING NZ CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 20195859

Independent Auditor’s Report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NEW ZEALAND REFINING COMPANY LIMITED GROUP

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report

The directors of the company are responsible for the Annual Report, which includes information other than the consolidated

financial statements and auditor’s report which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s 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.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and,

in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or

our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Annual Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to

communicate the matter to those charged with governance and, if uncorrected, to take appropriate action to bring the

matter to the attention of users for whom our auditor’s report was prepared.

Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial

statements in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and International

Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the

preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entity 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 cease operations, or have

no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) 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 the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External

Reporting Board’s website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurancepractitioners/auditors-responsibilities/

audit-report-1/. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
