Financial results
Turners Automotive Group (NZX: TRA) delivered an 11% increase in underlying net profit
1
before tax
(NPBT) from $26.0m to $28.8m for the year ended 31 March 2020. Revenue decreased by 1% to $333m
(FY19: $337m).
“We are really pleased with the growth in underlying profits over FY20, despite the early impact of Covid-
19 in the last 6 weeks of the financial year” said CEO Todd Hunter. “We set about at the beginning of
FY20 to really push for organic growth. We have achieved that in 3 out of our 4 businesses and were on
track to achieve this with 4 out of 4 until Covid-19 hit.”
Auto Retail has continued to grow retail market share and we have increased the numbers of “owned
inventory” sold by 8% year-on-year but a reduction in consignment business and impact of Covid-19 has
resulted in a small decrease in revenue. Finance revenues have grown as a result of directing Turners
origination into Oxford. Insurance revenue has reduced due to the one-off impact of property sale in
FY19 ($3.0m) and the further risk optimisation we are running through the portfolio. We expect
consolidation in this industry and we note that during the GFC, the number of dealers reduced by around
15%. Turners is in a strong position to grow market share.
Reported NPBT was at $29.1m. This was in-line with guidance of $28- $30m and stable on FY19 NPBT of
$29.0m. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $21.0m (FY19: $22.7m). Underlying NPBT increased by 11% to
$28.8m. This increase was driven by gains made in the Insurance, Finance and Credit divisions, partially
offset by a small drop in Auto Retail due to Covid-19.
Reported earnings per share was down 8% to 24.4 cents per share largely reflecting a higher effective
tax rate in FY20. Shareholder equity decreased to $223m (FY19: $226m) as at 31 March 2020.

Dividend
In March 2020 the Board deferred the Q3 dividend payment as a cautionary step due to the uncertainty
surrounding the length of a L4/L3 lockdown. Now that we have April and May behind us and a better
understanding of how business is tracking, the board have declared a final fully imputed dividend
incorporating the Q3 deferred dividend of 6.0 cents per share resulting in full year dividends of 14.0
cps. The board believes this best ensures our ability to navigate the volatility and also the optionality
to take advantage of any upcoming opportunities. Based on a FY20 payout of 14.0 cps (fully imputed)
to shareholders this represents a gross dividend yield of 9.8% at an indicative share price of $1.98. The
board’s intention at this stage is to continue dividend payouts at the level of the current policy for FY21
which is 60-70% of net profit after tax.
COVID-19 Response
The Turners team has reacted in a positive manner through the pandemic. Our business was hit hard
during April (57% drop in revenue compared to April 19). However, the business has recovered faster
during May than our scenario planning suggested back in April. In April three out of four businesses
were profitable and in May all four businesses were profitable. Group profit excluding the government
wage subsidy was a loss of $424,000. In May this has improved significantly to $1.58m, and June overall
is tracking ahead of June 2019 in almost every critical measure.
We have been grateful for strong levels of support from our team, our customers, our landlords and
our business partners. The sudden change brought about by COVID-19 required dynamic planning and
execution urgency. Set against the unprecedented backdrop of a high level of uncertainty, we identified
the following priorities at the end of March:
1. Ensure the safety of our people and our customers
2. Ensure the business could survive and emerge from a 3 to 6 month lockdown
3. Avoid a dilutive capital raise event if possible
4. Position ourselves to take advantage of the opportunities that will eventuate
We are very pleased that the country has emerged from highly restricted lockdown and we have
achieved our first 3 priorities. We are now focused on the opportunities to grow this business. We have
been successful in reducing costs through rental relief, government wage subsidies, staff reducing work
hours and using annual leave balances, travel and other expenditures. The used car market has shown
considerable resilience in previous downturns and early indications are supporting this theme. We
know customers will be more likely to trade with businesses who have a strong brand and reputation
like Turners and we believe this is the time to build market share.
We will continue to de-risk the finance business, following a substantial improvement in credit quality
over the last 2 years. Over and above our standard finance receivable provisions, an additional COVID-
19 overlay of $1 million has been applied to mitigate any potential increase in credit losses over the
next 12 months. With Insurance, we are focused on distribution and cost and claims management. In
Credit Management we are focused on protecting and managing the reputations of our corporate
customers like banks and government departments that we collect for.
Company Announcement
18 June 2020
Auto Retail (Turners Group): Revenue $224.9m +0%, Operating profit $13.8m -24% (FY19 $18.3)
Underlying Segment Profit $13.3m (FY19 $14.9m)
Turners’ strategy of retail optimisation and the continued transition of wholesale to retail is continuing
to deliver growth in retail market share. During all of FY20 we observed a softening of the used car
market due to reduced consumer confidence and this decline was suddenly exacerbated during late
February and March 20 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. There has been a cyclical reduction in
consignment vehicles (down 26%) through the Turners business in FY20, however this reduction was
somewhat offset by an increase in sales of owned inventory (up 6%) with average gross profits per unit
up 12% to $529. FY19 results included a one-off property settlement gain of $3.4m.
We have a particular focus on optimisation of footprint. We have made some important decisions in
regard to the Auckland footprint and will be leaving the main Penrose “supersite” in December 2020.
Around the same time, we will bring on stream new retail sites in Westgate and Mt Richmond which will
enable a better retail experience for our customers. Penrose was established as a wholesale auction
facility twenty years ago and is no longer appropriate both in terms of a cost base or customer
experience.
We have successfully integrated the Buy Right cars business into the Turners cars business over the year.
We started with the brand consolidation early in FY20 and this has now been extended to core IT and
operational systems which will enable further efficiencies.
BuyNow retail sales were down around 0.5% year on year, which considering the impact of Covid-19 we
were pleased with. A new Dunedin branch at double the previous footprint, and new sites in Westgate
and Mt Richmond should see further gains made in retail sales over the next 1-2 years, depending on the
speed of recovery in the economy.
Damaged vehicle units were up 12% with some good gains from existing insurance vendors and the
benefit from one-off events like the Timaru hail storm and flood damaged cars from Sky City.
Finance (Oxford Finance): Revenue $45.7m +4%, Operating profit $12.2m +10%
Underlying Segment Profit $12.1m (FY19 $10.3m)
The Finance business had an excellent year. This reflects our increasing focus on lending to higher quality
borrowers. Operating profit increased 10% to $12.2m (FY19: $11.1m). We introduced 3 tier risk pricing
in August 2019 which has enabled us to be much more targeted towards high quality borrowers and
tighten up at the lower end of the quality range. Premium Tier risk now accounts for 11% of our total
existing book and on a new lending basis and is around 30-40% of new lending each month. Instalment
arrears on premium tier business is tracking at around 0.01% compared to Tier 2 instalment arrears at
5.6%.
The introduction of comprehensive credit reporting alongside negative reporting is proving to be a strong
combination of data to help us profile borrowers.
The Turners Cars loan origination is going well and we are earning more margin in the group as a result
of this. Turners Cars ledger is now up to $52m and is performing exceptionally well on lending quality
metrics.
Company Announcement
18 June 2020
We also completed the strategic review process for Oxford during the year and whilst there was
significant interest in Oxford Finance above the book value of the business, in the Board’s view, the offers
received did not fully reflect the intrinsic value of the business, both today and especially factoring in the
planned organic growth. We are pleased to have such a strong annuity business within the group at this
time and have funding and equity capacity to continue growing this business over the next few years.
Insurance (Autosure): Revenue $44.1m -9%, Operating profit $6.2m -25%
Underlying Segment Profit $6.2m (FY19 $5.2m)
Insurance revenue declined 9% to $44.1m (FY19: $48.5m), with General Gross Written Premium (GWP)
down 7% to $36.8m as a result of market conditions and focusing on lower risk portfolios and vehicles.
FY19 segment profit for insurance included a one-off property gain from sale of $3m.
Underlying profit increased 19% to $6.2m (FY19: 5.2m), due to continued improvements in risk pricing
and reduction in claims loss ratios resulting from a new insurance [software] system, as well as
procurement initiatives. The combined claims loss ratio for FY20 is 62% (FY19: 64%), while the MBI loss
ratio is a 66% (FY19: 75%).
All originators are now transitioned to a new retail policy generation system and we continue to review
dealers’ portfolio performance for risk pricing. Our Reserve Bank Culture and Conduct Review work was
completed with a number of initiatives implemented ensuring we are closer to end users and understand
customer outcomes and experience in a more detailed way.
The distribution partnership announced with Heartland Bank and our respective brands, Autosure and
MARAC is now implemented and working well. We are working on similar models of distribution with a
number of other organisations which involved deep integration of our insurance system into their front
end sales system. This is an area where we will continue to invest in.
Credit Management (EC Credit Control): Revenue $17.9m -1%, Operating profit $6.5m +3%
Underlying profit same as reported segment profit
Credit management revenue decreased by 1% to $17.9m (FY19: $18.2m). Reported Operating Profit up
3% to $6.5m (FY19: $6.3m). Although debt load was down 5% for the year to $225m, the debt collected
was up 14% in FY20 to $67m driven mostly out of improved collections from Australian SME clients and
Corporate NZ clients. Commission earned from debt collected increased 11% to $10.0m.
Our traction with customers connecting to ECCC via Xero and MYOB continues to gather momentum
with over 420 customers connected now loading debt worth over $3m. We have been working closely
with our large corporate customers to help manage their reputational risk with debt collection work
during lockdown and we are expecting a significant increase in debt loaded from these customers in the
medium term. We have already seen a lift in debt load over the last few weeks from SME customers.
Digital, Data and Disruption
The investment we are making in area of digital marketing and data will continue. We have several
projects underway in the area of “lead management”. This investment enables us to identify anonymous
users on our website and be more targeted in subsequent communications with them. It also allows
platforms like Facebook to match us with customers who match people already doing business with us.
Company Announcement
18 June 2020
We also implemented an automated digital communications project which allows a more strategic and
targeted approach to people who are looking to buy or sell through Turners.
We are working on two major data projects which will help us in the area of pricing vehicles and
identifying credit risk. Both these projects leverage “off-the-shelf” cloud-based data tools, including
machine-learning. The proof of concept results are promising and we know there is a significant
opportunity in vehicle purchasing to help identify and limit our “bad buys”, as there is in the finance
business with identifying and limiting our “bad lending”.
Car subscription progress has naturally been impeded by Covid-19. We are working directly with
Collaborate Corp (CL8.ASX) in Australia to get the subscription platform set up for NZ. We have now
made the decision to brand the business under the Turners brand umbrella due to the high trust and
strong brand value and recognition attached to the Turners brand. We expect Turners Car Subscription
to be up and running in Q2.
FY21
As with many businesses there are many environmental unknowns that we will be operating in over
the next 12-24 months.
Turners has outlined five strategic themes:
1. Accelerate market share growth
Turners currently maintains ~6% market share of the used car retail transactions and will
concentrate on increasing this through optimising existing branch networks, creating new
consignment relationships, expanding its retail footprint, and taking advantage of market
consolidation.
2. Leverage the high trust Turners brand
Our scale offers multiple advantages, and trust will be even more important in the new
economy. Turners has just received the Readers Digest Winner of the Most Trusted Brand in
the NZ Used Car Dealer category. We plan to continue our focus on great customer experiences
and outcomes and keep promoting and investing in helping people understand the strength in
the Turners brand.
3. Diversified business
Turners is diversified geographically and has the advantage of annuity and activity-based
revenues. These were demonstrated during lockdown and will be proven in near to medium
term performance.
4. Digital advantage
A key differentiator is the Turners digital platform with #2 most visited auto website in the NZ
(behind only TradeMe). We will continue to make material investment in technology, data and
digital marketing.
5. Balance sheet capacity supports growth
Turners are well positioned from a funding and capital perspective to take advantage of growth
Company Announcement
18 June 2020
opportunities into the future. The board sees this as a strong comparative advantage.
Funding and Liquidity
Turners’ funding capacity is currently $428m with $78m undrawn. 69% or $242m of this debt relates to
finance receivables within Oxford Finance. During March BNZ increased the limit for the securitisation
warehouse facility from $200m to $250m (including capital contribution from TRA) to provide the
headroom for further growth in the finance book. The remaining 31% of debt ($108m) relates to
borrowings associated with property, inventory and the $25m Bond program.
At 31 March 2020 we boosted our cash balances by pre-emptively drawing down on facilities to ensure
sufficient liquidity through as we entered a Level 4 lockdown of uncertain duration. These
precautionary drawings have now been repaid.
Outlook and Guidance
We expect some fallout within the dealer segment as the year progresses. Dealer numbers have been in
decline for the last two years and we expect this decline to accelerate further over the next twelve to
twenty-four months. We know this is a good time to be pushing hard for gains in retail market share.
At beginning of lockdown we modelled out three scenarios (Worst, Likely and Best). Pleasingly we are
thus far tracking above the best case. April and May trading have been significantly better than what we
expected as we moved through alert levels faster than originally anticipated. The benefits of laser focus
on costs, rent reductions and wage subsidy have been material.
The value of having a diversified business both geographically and from a revenue stream perspective is
of huge benefit. The offset of having annuity revenue businesses (finance and insurance) within the
group are proving very valuable in turbulent times. Also the used car industry is a relatively good industry
to be operating, given it is largely domestic focused and has demonstrated resilience during previous
downturns.
Due to the level of unprecedented uncertainty in the economy it will be difficult to issue guidance for
FY21. We will update over coming months with progress, and plan to give guidance once the macro
environment plays out more clearly.

Practical expedients applied
In applying NZ IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
• the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
• reliance on previous assessments on whether leases are onerous;
• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 April 2019 as short-term leases; and
• the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
This note explains the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases on the Group’s financial statements and discloses the new accounting policies that have been
applied from 1 April 2019.
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 retrospectively from 1 April 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period, as permitted under the specific
transitional provisions in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the opening statement
of financial position on 1 April 2019.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognised lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of
NZ IAS 17 Leases. These liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate
as of 1 April 2019. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 was 6.1%.
The associated right-of-use assets for property leases were measured on a retrospective basis as if the new rules had always been applied. Other right-of use assets
were measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that lease recognised in the
statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an adjustment to the right-of-use assets at the
date of initial application.
The Group has also elected not to reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at the date of initial application. Instead, for contracts entered into before the
transition date the Group relied on its assessment made applying NZ IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LIMITED
The Group’s leasing activities and how these are accounted for
• fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;
• variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate;
• amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
• the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
• payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
• the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
• any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;
• any initial direct costs; and
• restoration costs.
Under NZ IFRS 16, lessees must present:
The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods of 3 to 8 years but may have
extension options as described in below. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease
agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
• Cash paid for the interest portion of a lease liability as either operating activities or financing activities, as permitted by NZ IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows (the
Group has opted to include interest paid as part of operating activities, consistent with its presentation of interest paid on financial liabilities); and
• Cash payments for the principal portion for a lease liability, as part of financing activities. Under NZ IAS 17, all lease payments on operating leases were presented
as part of cash flows from operating activities.
Consequently, the net cash generated by operating activities has increased by $6.998m, being the lease payments, and net cash used in financing activities has
increased by the same amount.
The adoption of NZ IFRS 16 did not have an impact on net cash flows.
The Group has applied judgement to determine lease term for some lease contracts that include renewal options. The assessment of whether the Group is
reasonably certain to exercise such options impacts the lease term, which significantly affects the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.
Until the 2020 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases
(net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
From 1 April 2019, 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.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss 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.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease
payments:
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used,
being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms
and conditions.
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. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group. These terms are used to maximise operational
flexibility in terms of managing contracts. The majority of extension and termination options held are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor.
A deferred tax asset is raised for the tax impact of the changes in recognised lease relates assets and liabilities.
A lease is contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The application of NZ IFRS 16 has an impact on the consolidated Statement of cash flows of Group.
• Short-term lease payments, payments for leases of low-value assets and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the lease liability as part of
operating activities;

USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Inventory provisioning
Expected credit losses on loan receivables
COVID-19
Inventories - impairment provision
Finance receivables - expected credit losses
Indefinite life intangibles - goodwill and brand
Inventories comprise primarily motor vehicles held for sale and are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost comprises the purchase price, shipping
cost, compliance cost and other sundry related costs. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimated selling prices are based upon recent observed vehicle sales prices for comparable
vehicles. Management has estimated the net realisable value of inventories based on their estimate of the selling price in a post lockdown market.
Forecast cash flows over a minimum projected period of five years factor into the impairment assessment for goodwill and brand. The Group prepared revised cash
flow forecasts for the purposes of the Group's annual impairment testing of goodwill and brand. The revised cash flow forecasts considered the impact of COVID-19
and responses on the performance of the Group. Management's assessment included sensitivity analysis by changing key inputs into the value-in-use calculation as
the discount rate and long term growth rate.
This assessment has not identified any impairment of the carrying value of the goodwill and brand assets as at 31 March 2020.
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and contract assets. The amount of
expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
ECL are measured as an allowance equal to 12 month ECL for performing assets, or lifetime ECL for those assets that have experienced a significant increase in
credit risk since origination. Expectations about future losses are initially derived from past experience. In the current year, when measuring ECL the Group has used
reasonable and supportable forward looking information, which is based on estimates for the future movement of different economic drivers (i.e. unemployment rates
and government stimulus) and how these drivers will affect each other. As a result of the present economic circumstances with respect to COVID-19 there remains
inherent uncertainty of the impact on these economic drivers will have on the ECL. When assessing the impact of COVID-19 Management determined the likely
impact will be an increase in the estimated probability of default. Management's assessment included reviewing past experience during the global financial crisis and
a review of loans in at risk related industries.
Based on the work done the finance receivables expected credit loss provision includes $1.0m for any economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic
and its potential impact on the expected impact on credit losses.
Based on the work done the inventories impairment provision includes $0.5m for any economic uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential
impact on the expected impact on inventory provisions.

When assessing the possible future impact of COVID-19 on the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the Group reviewed past experience, including the impact of
the global financial crisis, on the Group's performance and aligned the forecast and estimates with this experience.
These financial statements have been prepared based upon conditions existing as at 31 March 2020 and consider those events occurring subsequent to that date
that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period. As the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic occurred before 31 March 2020 its
impacts are considered an event that is indicative of conditions that arose prior to reporting period. Accordingly, as at the date of signing these financial statements, all
reasonably known and available information with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic has been taken into consideration in the critical accounting estimates and
judgements applied by Management and all reasonably determinable adjustments have been made in preparing these financial statements.
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS, the Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and assumptions 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 principal areas of judgement in preparing these financial statements affected by the responses to COVID-19
pandemic are considered as follows:
The COVID -19 pandemic and responses has reduced the ability from many businesses to operate and reduced the demand for many goods and services resulting in
significant volatility and instability in financial markets. The Group's four businesses experienced significant declines in new business during lockdown level 4 and level
3, however three of the four businesses earn annuity income and were profitable during this period. The COVID-19 pandemic and responses continue to effect
general activity and confidence levels in the economy. While the scale and duration of these effects remain uncertain, the Group continues to monitor developments
and initiate plans to mitigate adverse impacts and maximise opportunities.

Thank You to Our Team, Landlords and Business Partners
10• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
Speed -Work from home plans executed at speed and teams adapted very quickly.
Technology investments and quality of team, have put us in a strong position.
Committed- Many people have been asked to take additional annual leave, work reduced
hours, do different jobs and tasks and all have stepped up when required. Board and Senior
Management right across the business have reduced fees and salaries to 80% of normal for a
period of 3 months.
Thank you - Acknowledge and thank our landlords and business partners and employees
who have made sacrifices to ensure the business was in the best possible position to survive
and ultimately prosper.

Key Messages on Near-term Environment
12• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
Lockdown - Naturally, all four businesses experienced substantial new business drops during
L3/L4 lockdown. Group revenue down 57% in April 2020 v April 2019
Priorities - 1. Ensure the business survives 2. Avoid a dilutive capital raise 3. Ensure the business
is prepared for the opportunities
An uncertain outlook - but April/May better than expected - We expect mixed trading conditions
with NZ’s expected recession. YTD Trading results for April and May show levels significantly
better than our initial projections made at the commencement of L4 lockdown
Diversified portfolio of related businesses - Highlights the value of a diversified portfolio of
businesses, and the inherent “annuity” nature of those three businesses. Three of our four
businesses (Oxford Finance, Autosure Insurance and EC Credit Control) were profitable even
during the L3/L4 lockdown period
FY21 YTD Update - Early Metrics
13• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•Launched 100% online car selling “BuySafe” – sold 600 cars
during L4 lockdown
•Continuing marketing spend focusing on Turners “trusted
brand”
•Processed 1,500 (or 8%) hardship applications (payment
holidays or reduced payment) during L4...currently less
than 75 customers (5%) have required a further extension
•Arrears in finance book have continued to improve over
April / May and are at historic low levels
•Substantial decrease in insurance claim numbers during L4
and L3, tracking at around 80% of 2019 levels.
•SME debt load increasing and corporate debt load expected
to be large once they start releasing debt for collection

Update – FY21

Key themes for FY21
#1 Opportunity to accelerate market share
Turners well placed to continue market share gains. Used
car market rationalisation likely to accelerate post COVID.
During the GFC, the number of dealers dropped by 15%
#2 Leverage the high trust Turners brand
Leverage our scale and brand equity. Our scale offers multiple
advantages. Our highly trusted brand will become even more
relevant in the new economy
#3 Diversified business
Turners is diversified geographically and has the advantage of
annuity and activity based revenues. These were demonstrated
during Lockdown and will be shown in the near to medium term.
#4 Digital advantage
Turners are well positioned from a funding and capital
perspective to take advantage of growth opportunities in the
future
#5 Balance sheet capacity supports growth
A key differentiator is the Turners digital platform with #2 most
visited auto website in the NZ behind TradeMe. We will continue to
make material investment in technology, data and digital marketing
1. Opportunity to accelerate market share

2. Leverage the high trust Turners brand
18• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
Scale
Our scale offers multiple advantages:
•During challenging environments, Turners benefits
from its scale and diversification.
•With a larger team than any other auto retailer, Turners
was able to react rapidly to the challenges and
opportunities of COVID-19.
•Our scale giving us greater buying power around bulk
fleet purchases.
•Our large web audience and 23 branches spread across
the country gives us access to more customers
•Turners has greater access to capital, both via its
robust banking relationships, based on years of
demonstrating prudent financial management, and if
ever required, its NZX/ASX listing.
Most trusted brand
Trust will be even more important in the new economy:
•Turners is consistently NZ’s leading used auto retail
brand, according to independent market research
•Turners has strong web presence, traffic online hitting
all time highs
•Even during Level 4 and 3 lockdown, Turners was able
to sell 600 vehicles online. The ability to sell
uninspected vehicles online at scale for the first time
demonstrates the high trust and awareness of the
Turners brand.
•Turners recently received the 2020 Readers Digest
Trusted Brand Awardas New Zealand’s most trusted
used car dealer.
3. Diversified business
19• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•
Turners is a purposefully diversified business
•
Each business has different business cycles...
•
Annuity revenues from finance and insurance help offset the
short-term decline in the activity-based revenue businesses of
auto retail and credit management.
•
Credit management is counter-cyclical and will likely
experience high growth over near to medium term.
•
Geographical diversification allows the business to redeploy
inventory if there are any localised lockdowns going forward or
regional demand differences.
•
With a business model setup for consignment sales, Turners is
able to heavily increase its mix towards consignment, which
significantly reduces working capital and any pricing risk.

Q1 UpdateKey Themes for FY21
Outlook
35• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•Due to the level of unprecedented uncertainty in the economy it will be difficult to issue
guidance for FY21. We will update over coming months with progress, and plan to give
guidance around the AGM in September.
•At beginning of lockdown we modelled out 3 scenarios (Worst, Likely and Best) and we are
tracking above the best case currently.
•April and May trading have been significantly better than what we expected (refer to slide
13) as we moved through Alert Levels faster...benefits of cost focus, rent reductions and
wage subsidy have been material.
•The offset of having annuity revenue businesses (finance and insurance) within the group are
proving very valuable in turbulent times.
