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

• 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

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.

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.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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
