UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2020

NAPIER PORT REPORTS POSITIVE FIRST HALF, OUTLOOK SUBDUED

Trade gateway for Hawke’s Bay and the surrounding regions sees first half in line with

expectations at the beginning of the year, no interim dividend to be paid amid COVID-19

uncertainty

HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue rose 7.5% to $52.3 million from $48.7 million in the same period last year

• Container volumes rose 7.5% to 135,000 TEU

• Bulk cargo volumes down 7.3% following Chinese log market conditions and the early impact

of COVID-19 demand disruptions

• Pro forma EBITDA rose 2% to $21.5m

• Result from operating activities

1

down 1.6% to $21.7 million with higher operating expenses to

provide for growth

• Pro forma net profit after tax

1

for the half year rose 6.7% to $11.2 million

• Reported net profit after tax of $12.8 million from $9.2 million

• Trade outlook uncertain due to COVID-19 impact and broader economic conditions

• Board resolves to not pay an interim dividend; will review in November

Napier Port (NZX.NPH) today reports improved revenue and underlying earnings for the first half of the

2020 financial year with growth in Container Services and Cruise offsetting the effect of lower log

volumes later in the period due to key export market conditions and the COVID-19 pandemic.

It also reports an uncertain outlook for the full year with the outcome linked to broader economic

conditions and ability to overcome impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Revenue for the half year to 31 March 2020 increased 7.5% to $52.3 million from $48.7 million last year,

underpinned by an increase in container volume, growth in cruise revenue, and previously announced

tariff increases.

Container services benefited from the early repositioning of empty containers ahead of the peak primary

export season. Volumes rose 7.5% to 135K TEU from 126K TEU in the same period a year ago. This

increase helped to lift container services revenues by 12.1% to $30.9 million from $27.6 million. Average

revenue per TEU increased 4.2% to $229 per TEU from $219 per TEU, assisted by increased volume

through our Port Pack operation, and tariffs introduced during 2019 to recover costs of infrastructure

investments made to extend capacity and support our growth.

Even though the cruise season came to an abrupt and early end following the COVID-19 outbreak,

cruise services revenue for the first half was up 22.5% to $4.2 million from $3.4 million. This reflected

an increase in ship visits to 76 ships from 66 ships in the prior season, albeit short of the 87 ships we

had booked. A new passenger levy also helped to lift revenue.

Despite a strong first quarter in log exports, we ended the half-year to March down 5% on the same

period a year ago as the impact of high Chinese log inventories were compounded by the COVID-19

outbreak and extended Chinese new year holiday, supressing demand for NZ log exports. Fertiliser

imports were, as we expected, lower. As a direct result, bulk cargo revenue fell 3.5% to $16.0 million

from $16.5 million.

The result from operating activities fell 1.6% to $21.7 million from $22.1 million, as operating expenses

increased in line with expectations to support growth and build operational resilience. Employee benefit

expenses increased with employee numbers. Other operating expenses increased in line with container

volumes, higher insurance costs, and listed company costs.

Pro forma net profit after tax for the half year rose to $11.2 million from $10.5 million. The pro forma

result excludes a one-off non-cash deferred tax gain of $1.5 million related to the deductibility of tax

depreciation on buildings. This gain helped lift statutory net profit after tax to $12.8 million from $9.2

million in the prior year.

The statutory net profit after tax for the half-year also benefited from finance cost savings when

compared to the prior year, following the repayment of all borrowings following the successful initial

public offer (IPO) in the second half of 2019. In the same period a year ago, Napier Port expensed

finance costs of $2.0 million.

Chair Alasdair MacLeod says: “Napier Port’s positive financial results for the half year to the end of

March 2020 stand in stark contrast to the significant challenges that we, the surrounding region, and

the broader economy face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“For most of the six-month period that these results cover, trade has been trending largely in line with

the expectations set when we launched our IPO in August 2019.

“However, as the half year drew to a close, and COVID-19 infections both offshore and in New Zealand

rose, the Government imposed its state of national emergency and Alert Level 4 lockdown. It also

became clear the pandemic and lockdown would have a material impact on our region and Napier Port’s

financial result for the year.”

Chief Executive Todd Dawson said: “Napier Port is having a year of two halves. In the first we have

delivered on the expectations we set when we launched our IPO last year, but in the second half of the

year we, along with the rest of the country, are facing a period of extended uncertainty and an external

shock that has significant implications for trading in the current financial year and beyond.”

COVID-19 IMPACT

Operations

The move in late March to the Alert Level 4 COVID-19 lockdown, saw Napier Port make dramatic

changes to its operations.

We had a duty as a ‘lifeline asset’ to protect the flow of essential cargo through Napier Port. At the same

time, we had to protect our people, deemed ‘essential workers’, and take steps to prevent the

inadvertent transmission of the virus within the community.

The changes we put in place to achieve these goals have been effective, but they came at the cost of

productivity and revenue. The cruise season was prematurely closed. Meanwhile, in line with

government directives, we saw a sharp reduction in non-essential cargo arriving, the most significant

of which was in the key export trades of logs, pulp and timber.

We were also required to cease construction work on 6 Wharf, the centrepiece of our strategic

investment programme, as its construction was not considered an essential service.

The implementation of the Level 4 lockdown reduced expected cargo through Napier Port to levels

lower than those assumed in our financial forecasts, with a material impact on our financial outlook for

the 2020 financial year. In response, we regretfully joined many NZX listed companies in withdrawing

our full year earnings forecasts.

Cargo flows

Fortunately, many of our key trades qualified within the Government’s definition of essential services

and these continued to flow to Napier Port during the Level 4 lockdown.

Harvesting of apples, squash and other fresh produce has continued despite the additional operational

challenges for our exporters. Similarly, the region’s food and meat processing industries have continued

production and their products have been flowing right through this period of uncertainty, with Hawke’s

Bay’s primary food-based exports seeing continued demand.

Post the lifting of the Level 4 lockdown, exporters of forest products have quickly resumed and ramped

up their production to meet pent up demand. Containerised trades such as the wood pulp and milled

timber are up and running again and working to fulfil back orders and forecast demand. A partial revival

of economic activity and some clearing of inventories in the key market of China has also seen

improvement in log prices into April.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

To help manage the economic impact on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic we have identified a

number of measures to prudently protect our cashflow and protect our balance sheet in light of our

commitments related to the construction of 6 Wharf and our determination to look after our people.

Key measures identified for implementation in the period to the end of September 2021 include:

• Reduction of 20% in the director fee pool

2

for 6 months

• Deferral on renewal of wage and salary increases for one year

• Specific cost reductions and deferrals across capital and operational expenditure

• Receipt of the Government Wage subsidy

3


• Cancellation of the interim dividend in respect of the 2020 financial year

These measures are expected to reduce and defer cash spend during the 2020 and 2021 financial

years. However, the timing and savings accruing from these measures are being worked through. None

of these measures will affect our core operational capability nor degrade the condition of our key assets.

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Napier Port retains a strong balance sheet following its capital raising in the prior year. At the end of the

half-year, cash and cash equivalents stood at $16.1 million, down from the $31.2 million at the end of

the last financial year. In addition, we have undrawn bank facilities of $180 million, the majority of which

mature in 2024.

Over the six-month period Napier Port invested $23.2 million in capital assets with $8 million

4

spent on

6 Wharf. Other projects included the commissioning of a third tug, Kaweka, the continued development

of our off-port depot site in Thames Street, Napier, and replacement wharf maintenance, maintenance

dredging, paving works and replacement of mobile plant.

We remain committed to the strategic investment programme. These are long-term solutions that will

allow us to capitalise on future long-term growth opportunities and continue to support our customers

and therefore our wider Hawke’s Bay region.

Dividend

The board of directors has considered both the short-term impacts and long-term risk associated with

COVID-19 in considering the interim dividend. With a full programme of committed strategic capital

investments, including 6 Wharf, the board considers that it is prudent to take a conservative approach

to the management of cash whilst this uncertainty exists. As such, the board has decided to defer any

consideration of dividend payments until the end of the financial year. As a result, the decision has been

made to cancel the interim dividend.

Consisting of a reduction of 10% paid to existing directors and 10% from deferring the appointment of an

additional director

A wage subsidy payment of $2 million has been received in anticipation of a forecast decline in revenue of at

least 30% versus the prior year comparative month due to the impact of COVID-19. In the event a 30% decline

does not in-fact eventuate, Napier Port intends to repay the subsidy amount. No benefit to Napier Port will be

recognised until the decline has been confirmed.

We recognise the impact this decision may have on our shareholders and remain grateful of your

support as we navigate these difficult times and focus on protecting and growing the long-term value of

your asset.


The board expects to review the full financial year result and outlook in November 2020 before making

a decision on a final dividend. The board’s intent is to pay a final dividend in respect of the 2020 financial

year result, in accordance with our stated dividend policy, subject to developments and the economic

outlook at that time.


STRATEGIC INITIATIVES

In spite of the challenges we have faced with the COVID-19 pandemic we are pleased with progress

on the strategic initiatives over the first six-month period.

Even though construction work on 6 Wharf ceased during the Level 4 lockdown, we have made good

initial progress on the project. We formally appointed HEB to build the wharf in November, completed

site establishment and began procurement of materials before Christmas.

In the new year we started sheet metal piling and removed the existing rock wall and made a start on

piling before work ceased following the imposition of the Level 4 lockdown. Work resumed in late April

when the country transitioned to Level 3, while dredging is due to commence this month.

Kaweka, which arrived last November, joins our existing tugs Te Mata and Ahuriri. It has already

contributed to our ability to service vessels, including larger vessels, helped reduce vessel congestion and

delays, improved berth availability, and provided risk mitigation enabling us to maintain our marine

services if one of our other tugs is out of service.

Finally, in March we opened our second off port container depot in Thames Street for processing of empty

containers. We have relocated our container wash, inspection services, and refrigerated container pre-

tripping to that site providing further enhanced services to our customers in the region.

OUTLOOK

“The future trade outlook and the timing of the revival of the cruise industry remains uncertain and is

now dependent upon COVID-19 public health developments and the economic impact in New Zealand

and key international trading markets, both in the short and longer-term,” Mr MacLeod said.

“Napier Port continues to engage with cargo owners to understand how COVID-19 trading conditions

are affecting them and the expected outlook for cargo volumes through Napier Port.

“We intend to provide a further interim update to the NZX market regarding our June quarter trading

results during August. We expect at that time to update the market on full year earnings guidance, if not

available earlier.

“Napier Port is a long-term infrastructure asset and an essential lifeline asset during times of national

emergency, supporting the economic health and prosperity of Hawke’s Bay and the surrounding

regions. As we look to the future, we remain focused on supporting and working with our customers

and our region and continuing to operate as an agile and resilient gateway to world markets.

“We have great confidence in our ability to extend our long record of success, aided by the resilience

and commitment of our people, and the determination we share with our customers to build a thriving

region.”

Napier Port’s positive financial results for the half year

to the end of March 2020 stand in stark contrast to the

significant challenges that we, the surrounding region

and the broader economy face as a result of

the COVID-19 pandemic.

For most of the six-month period that these results

cover, trade has been trending largely in line with

the expectations set when we launched our initial

public offer (IPO) in August 2019.

However, as the half year drew to a close,

and COVID-19 infections both offshore and

in New Zealand rose, the Government imposed

its state of national emergency and Alert Level 4

lockdown. It also became clear the pandemic and

lockdown would have a material impact on our region

and Napier Port’s financial result for the year.

FIRST HALF RESULTS
Revenue for the half year to 31 March 2020 increased

7.5% to $52.3 million from $48.7 million last year,

underpinned by an increase in container volume, growth in

cruise revenue, and previously announced tariff increases.

Container services benefited from the early repositioning

of empty containers ahead of the peak primary export

season. Volumes rose 7.5% to 135K TEU from 126K TEU

in the same period a year ago. This increase helped to lift

container services revenues by 12.1% to $30.9 million

from $27.6 million. Average revenue per TEU increased

4.2% to $229 per TEU from $219 per TEU, assisted

by increased volume through our Port Pack operation

and tariffs introduced during 2019 to recover costs

of infrastructure investments made to extend capacity

and support our growth.

Even though the cruise season came to an abrupt

and early end following the COVID-19 outbreak,

cruise services revenue for the first half was up 22.5%

to $4.2 million from $3.4 million. This reflected an

increase in ship visits to 76 ships from 66 ships in the

prior season, albeit short of the 87 ships we had booked.

A new passenger levy also helped to lift revenue.

Despite a strong first quarter in log exports, we ended the

half-year to March down 5% on the same period a year

ago as the impact of high Chinese log inventories were

compounded by the COVID-19 outbreak and extended

Chinese new year holiday, supressing demand for

NZ log exports. Fertiliser imports were, as we expected,

lower. As a direct result bulk cargo revenue fell 3.5%

to $16.0 million from $16.5 million.

The result from operating activities fell 1.6% to $21.7 million

from $22.1 million, as operating expenses increased in line

with expectations to support growth and build operational

resilience. Employee benefit expenses increased with

employee numbers. Other operating expenses increased

in line with container volumes, higher insurance costs,

and listed company costs.

Pro forma net profit after tax for the half year rose to

$11.2 million from $10.5 million. The pro forma result

excludes a one-off non-cash deferred tax gain of

$1.5 million related to the deductibility of tax depreciation

on buildings. This gain helped lift statutory net profit after

tax to $12.8 million from $9.2 million in the prior year.

The statutory net profit after tax for the half-year also

benefited from finance cost savings when compared to

the prior year, following the repayment of all borrowings

following the successful IPO in the second half of 2019.

In the same period a year ago, Napier Port expensed

finance costs of $2.0 million.

PEOPLE

Our first response to the COVID-19 outbreak, in line

with our ‘culture of care’, the foundation of our strategy,

was to take immediate steps to protect our people

and others accessing our port.

Marine personnel staff, as essential workers on the front

line of the virus response, were issued with extended

PPE and hygiene kits. Critical teams were separated

across Napier Port to minimise contact, while all visitors

were restricted. Office based staff commenced working

from home or alternate locations where practical.

We also worked with our people to safeguard their family

and others in their bubbles from inadvertent transmission,

and introduced other measures to help manage stress

and improve the wellbeing of our people.

Napier Port’s people – as they have many times before –

have risen to the challenge. Despite the imposition

of the new social distancing, they have continued

to apply themselves for the good of our customers

and the broader region.

The board and management team thanks them for their

loyalty and dedication during this time of unprecedented

uncertainty.

LOOKING FORWARD

The future trade outlook and the timing of the revival of the cruise industry

remains uncertain and is now dependent upon COVID-19 public health

developments, and the economic impact in New Zealand and key international

trading markets, both in the short and longer-term.

Napier Port continues to engage with cargo owners to understand how

COVID-19 trading conditions are affecting them and the expected outlook

for cargo volumes through Napier Port.

We intend to provide a further interim update to the NZX market regarding our

June quarter trading results during August. We expect at that time to update

the market on full year earnings guidance, if not available earlier.

Napier Port is a long-term infrastructure asset and an essential lifeline

asset during times of national emergency supporting the economic

health and prosperity of Hawke’s Bay and the surrounding regions.

As we look to the future, we remain focused on supporting

and working with our customers and our region and continuing

to operate as an agile and resilient gateway to world markets.

We have great confidence in our ability to extend our long

record of success, aided by the resilience and commitment

of our people, and the determination we share with our

customers to build a thriving region.

We are a rock standing firm in the sea.

NAPIER PORT HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2020

1 REPORTING ENTITY

The interim financial statements presented are those

of Napier Port Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries

(together “the Group”). Napier Port Holdings Limited

is incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 and

domiciled in New Zealand. Napier Port Holdings Limited’s

shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (NZX).

2 BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with the Companies Act 1993 and Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The interim financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International

Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting

(NZ IAS 34) and International Accounting Standard 34,

Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity

for NZ GAAP purposes. These interim financial statements

do not include all the information normally included in

an annual financial report. Accordingly, these should be

read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial

statements for the year ended 30 September 2019.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The interim financial statements have been prepared on a

historical cost basis, except for sea defences, investment

properties and derivative financial instruments, which are

measured at fair value. They are presented in New Zealand

Dollars (NZD) and all values are rounded to the nearest

thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated.

3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those

followed in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated

financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2019.

The weighted average number of shares on issue for

the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share

for the six months ended 31 March 2019 has been

retrospectively restated to 110,000,000 shares (previously

21,000,000 shares) following the initial public offering

(IPO) in August 2019. As a result basic earnings per

share for the six months ended 31 March 2019 has been

restated to $0.08 per share (previously $0.44 per share).



4 UNCERTAINTIES, ESTIMATES

AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity

with NZ IAS 34 requires management to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the

application of accounting policies and the reported

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual

results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these financial statements, the significant

judgements made by management in applying the Group’s

accounting policies and the key sources of estimation

and uncertainty, are consistent with those applied to the

Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year

ended 30 September 2019 other than the impact of the

COVID-19 pandemic as described below.

As at the balance sheet date and as at the date of

authorisation of these financial statements, the Group

was operating in conditions affected by the COVID-19

virus global pandemic. The potential economic and

public health consequences of this pandemic increase

uncertainties regarding the Group’s future trading results,

including those arising from the pandemic’s potential

impact on our direct and indirect cargo customers.

Risks that the Group is exposed to include financial risk,

including credit risk and market risks, and the carrying

value of assets, as further described in the Group’s

annual financial report. The revised economic situation

at 31 March 2020 has required additional consideration

of the expected credit loss in relation to accounts

receivable, of impairment, and of the fair value of

investment property. These additional considerations

have resulted in an increase in the expected credit loss

allowance (Note 6) but has not resulted in significant

changes to the recorded amounts of other assets or

liabilities. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on

trading for the six months to 31 March 2020 is further

described in the accompanying 2020 Half Year Report.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Operating segments

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly reported to the

Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment being Port Services. This consists of providing and managing port

services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the Port Services reportable segment the

following operating segments have been identified: marine services, general cargo services, container services, port

pack services and depot services. These have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic characteristics,

customers, nature of services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. During the period the Group had a single

customer which comprised 11% of total revenue.

Other expenses/(income) 327 (25)

In light of the COVID-19 impact on credit risks at the reporting date, the Group has recognised an increase in expected

credit loss allowance of $309,000 in respect of its trade receivable balance at 31 March 2020. To measure the expected

credit loss allowance amount, historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect forward-looking information. Trade receivables

are grouped in accordance with their shared credit risk characteristics and global credit rating historical industry

information applied to estimate future default and loss percentage rates. There have been no specific trade receivable

balances written-off during the period.

On 26 March 2020 the COVID-19 Response (Taxation and Social Assistance Urgent Measures) Bill was enacted which

reinstated the ability for companies to claim depreciation on buildings that have an estimated useful life of 50 years

or more from the 2020-21 income tax year. The reinstatement of tax depreciation on buildings required the Group

to reinstate the tax base of its buildings. The Group has also removed the effect of the initial recognition exemption

on those buildings acquired post May 2010. This net change has resulted in a decrease in the deferred tax liability

of $1,508,000 and a corresponding income tax benefit in the current period.

11 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE

In April 2020, the Group applied for and received a wage subsidy of $2 million as part of the New Zealand Government’s

COVID-19 Economic Response Package. This was on the basis of meeting all of the criteria, including a forecast

reduction in revenue of at least 30%, in any one month during the period April to June 2020, compared to the prior year.

In the event a 30% decline does not actually eventuate, the Group intends to repay the wage subsidy received.

Review Report to the Shareholders of Napier Port Holdings Limited

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of Napier Port Holdings Limited

(the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) on pages 1 to 10, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2020, and the

consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated

statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows of the Group for the six

months ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

This report is made solely to the Company's shareholders, as a body. Our review has been

undertaken so that we might state to the Company's shareholders those matters we are required to

state to them in a review 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 review work, for this report, or for our findings.

Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated interim

financial statements which comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim

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

the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Reviewer’s Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated interim financial statements based

on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Review

Engagements 2410 Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the

Entity (“NZ SRE 2410”). NZ SRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are

not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier Port Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries. Simon

Brotherton, appointed by the Auditor-General, performs the annual audit of the Group using the

staff and resources of Ernst & Young. As a result, and in compliance with NZ SRE 2410, Ernst &

Young is required to comply with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General, which

incorporate the independence requirements of the External Reporting Board.

Basis of Statement

A review of consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 is a limited

assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries,

primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and

other review procedures.

The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit

conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Accordingly we

do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial statements.

In addition to the audit and this review we have provided quality assurance over the risk assessment

process of the Group. These services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group or

in the performance of this review. Other than these engagements we have no relationship with, or

interests in, the Group.

Conclusion

Based on our review nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

accompanying consolidated interim financial statements, set out on pages 1 to 10, do not present

fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2020 and its

financial performance and cash flows for the six months period ended on that date in accordance

with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting

and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

Our review was completed on 25 May 2020 and our findings are expressed as at that date.

forma operating tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the tax implications of the pro forma adjustments. A reconciliation

to statutory net profit after tax is included in section 1.4 below.

6.

Pro forma cash flows from operating activities is a non-NZ GAAP measure that comprises net cash flows from operating

activities adjusted to remove offer costs and overlays Napier Port’s capital structure following completion of the IPO as if it

had been in place since 1 October 2018.


1.1 Description of Pro forma adjustments

In determining the use of pro forma adjustments, the Directors have considered only

those items that they believe are required to ensure consistency and comparability of

the financial information over the periods presented.

The pro forma adjustments that Napier Port considers are appropriate are explained

below, and their nature are described in more detail in Part C of the Supplementary

Financial Information:

(i) removal of the one-off transaction costs relating to the Offer;

(ii) removal of other (income) expenses as these items relate to non-core operating

activities;

(iii) removal of share of the loss of equity accounted investee as the investment has

been fully written down to zero;

(iv) removal of the impairment of joint venture as it was a one-off event;

(v) adding an estimate of the incremental costs that will be incurred by Napier Port

as a publicly listed company;

(vi) removal of the impact of the pre-IPO debt capital in relation to FY2019 and

applying the post-IPO capital structure as if it were in place for all of FY2019;

and

(vii) removal of the deferred tax benefit relating to the reinstatement of tax

depreciation on buildings in HY2020.

COVID-19: SHARP REDUCTION IN FORESTRY TRADE

The high Chinese log market inventory and extended Chinese new year period due to COVID-19 slowed log exports

Alert Level 4 (‘AL4’) from 26

th

March, Alert Level 3 from 28

th

April

During AL4, on-port non-essential cargo was allowed to be exported & imports cleared from our sites

Enduring local, national and global economic impacts remain uncertain

Main operational impacts during AL4:

•timber, logs, pulp and other non-essential products ceased coming to port

•shut down of our Port Pack operation after all on-port inventory was packed

•seven remaining cruise calls cancelled

•6 Wharf construction on hold for AL4 period

Whilst benefiting, relative to other businesses, from being a lifeline infrastructure asset with essential status, we have

experienced decreased revenue during the lockdown period

COVID-19: PRUDENT RESPONSE PLAN

RESPONSE

People-first safety measures, COVID related leave support

Despite disrupted operations, essential services to the region maintained

Aiming to reduce or defer expenditure while looking after our people and not compromising operational capability

•Reduction in director fee pool of 20%

1

for 6 months

•Deferral, on renewal, of wage and salary increases for one year

•Specific cost reductions and deferrals across capital and operational expenditure

•Receipt of the Government Wage Subsidy

2

of $2m

•Cancellation of the interim dividend in respect of the 2020 financial year

Measures to prudently mitigate some of the revenue cashflow loss and protect the forecast balance sheet

Focus on cash expenditures for 18 month period to end of FY21

The timing and savings accruing from these measures are being worked through

1 Includes a 10% reduction in fees paid plus deferral of planned additional director appointment

2 In the event that forecast revenue downturn criteria for the Government wage subsidy does not in-fact eventuate, then the subsidy payment will be repaid

26
| STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

INTERIM DIVIDEND CANCELLED AMID COVID-19 UNCERTAINTY

Prudent approach to the potential impact of COVID-19 on trade given uncertainty over the

extent and length of downturn

Looking forward to the post 6 Wharf balance sheet capital structure

Final dividend to be assessed in November

•Dividend policy to apply, subject to developments and economic outlook

Target of peak Debt to EBITDA of ~3.5x and maintaining covenant headroom in considerations

•Target headroom of 1x on existing covenant limit of 4.5x

CONCLUSION
& OUTLOOK

28

FIRST HALF YEAR HIGHLIGHTS

Positive operating result in line with expectations at the beginning of the year, however impacted

by COVID-19 late in the period

With a well capitalised balance sheet and access to liquidity, we are looking beyond 6 Wharf to maintain

a secure capital position

Continued progress on strategic growth and development initiatives

A buoyant local economy and rural sector saw solid primary sector exports and continued investment in Hawke’s Bay

Key Chinese export market for logs, impacts from COVID-19, and current drought conditions create headwinds

COVID-19: SHARP REDUCTION IN FORESTRY TRADE

The high Chinese log market inventory and extended Chinese new year period due to COVID-19 slowed log exports

Alert Level 4 (‘AL4’) from 26

th

March, Alert Level 3 from 28

th

April

During AL4, on-port non-essential cargo was allowed to be exported & imports cleared from our sites

Enduring local, national and global economic impacts remain uncertain

Main operational impacts during AL4:

•timber, logs, pulp and other non-essential products ceased coming to port

•shut down of our Port Pack operation after all on-port inventory was packed

•seven remaining cruise calls cancelled

•6 Wharf construction on hold for AL4 period

Whilst benefiting, relative to other businesses, from being a lifeline infrastructure asset with essential status, we have

experienced decreased revenue during the lockdown period

TRADE IMPACT

COVID-19: PRUDENT RESPONSE PLAN

RESPONSE

People-first safety measures, COVID related leave support

Despite disrupted operations, essential services to the region maintained

Aiming to reduce or defer expenditure while looking after our people and not compromising operational capability

•Reduction in director fee pool of 20%

1

for 6 months

•Deferral, on renewal, of wage and salary increases for one year

•Specific cost reductions and deferrals across capital and operational expenditure

•Receipt of the Government Wage Subsidy

2

of $2m

•Cancellation of the interim dividend in respect of the 2020 financial year

Measures to prudently mitigate some of the revenue cashflow loss and protect the forecast balance sheet

Focus on cash expenditures for 18 month period to end of FY21

The timing and savings accruing from these measures are being worked through

1 Includes a 10% reduction in fees paid plus deferral of planned additional director appointment

2 In the event that forecast revenue downturn criteria for the Government wage subsidy does not in-fact eventuate, then the subsidy payment will be repaid

26
| STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

INTERIM DIVIDEND CANCELLED AMID COVID-19 UNCERTAINTY

Prudent approach to the potential impact of COVID-19 on trade given uncertainty over the

extent and length of downturn

Looking forward to the post 6 Wharf balance sheet capital structure

Final dividend to be assessed in November

•Dividend policy to apply, subject to developments and economic outlook

Target of peak Debt to EBITDA of ~3.5x and maintaining covenant headroom in considerations

•Target headroom of 1x on existing covenant limit of 4.5x

CONCLUSION
& OUTLOOK

28
| STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

APRIL & MAY TRADE UPDATE

April trade volume down approx. 40% by weight and 29% by value vs PY

May volume also expected to be materially down for month vs PY

Forestry trades have been quick to restart with on-port inventory building quickly after AL4

Key seasonal reefer trade volumes to date have been in line with expectations

29
| STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

CONCLUSION & OUTLOOK

Playing ‘with the wind’ in the first half, ‘into the wind’ in the second half

Positive growth in first half-year results, good progress on strategic growth initiatives

Material uncertainty remains in full year earnings outlook

Proactive and prudent response to COVID-19 uncertainty

June quarter trade and results update - August
