T&G reports its 2020 Interim Results

• Operating profit: $19.5 million, up from $6.2 million

• Net profit before tax: $13.7 million, up from $3.0 million

• Net profit after tax: $9.5 million, up from $4.0 million

• Net assets: $479.8 million, up from $414.9 million


T&G Global today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months to 30 June

2020, which show the Group’s performance has improved, compared to the same period last

year, with increased revenue and operating profit.


T&G Global Chief Executive Gareth Edgecombe says despite unprecedented COVID-19

challenges, the Group’s results demonstrate that its ongoing transformation is shifting the

business forward.


“Two years ago, we began our transformation from a commodity exporter to a customer-led

premium fresh produce business. It’s pleasing to see the results of this hard work - and our

strong focus on cost reduction - lift our financial performance and improve the fundamentals

of the business,” says Gareth.


“Without a doubt, it’s a tough environment and its been a very challenging start to the year.

However, our vertically integrated supply chain, combined with our people’s expertise,

determination and in-market presence, positioned us well to not only respond quickly to

COVID-19, but maintain our focus on delivering our financial targets.”


In the first half of 2020, T&G increased its revenue by 20% to $671.3 million, and its

operating profit lifted to $19.5 million, from $6.2 million in 2019. Its net profit before tax was

up $10.7 million on last year, to $13.7 million.


A key driver of these results has been the performance of the Group’s Apples division which

increased its revenue to $440.5 million, from $315.4 million in 2019. Additionally, its New

Zealand domestic business, T&G Fresh, increased its revenue to $153.8 million, from $135.4

million in 2019, assisted by the 30 April acquisition of Freshmax New Zealand.


“It was a privilege to operate as an essential service during New Zealand’s lockdown, and

across all of our global markets we’ve maintained continuous operations. While this resulted

in increased costs and some productivity losses, our top priority has been the safety of our

people and our communities,” says Gareth.


“Our decision to charter a ship early in the season, to move apples to Europe and the United

Kingdom, meant we got ahead of any potential logistical challenges and could support our

customers in maximising retail sales. We were able to get fruit to our markets early, and this

was a key factor behind our significant uplift in apple sales for the period.


“Here in New Zealand, we worked incredibly hard to keep fresh produce flowing to Kiwis.

While some of our customers were impacted by not being able to physically open during

lockdown, increased sales through retail channels helped lift revenue for T&G Fresh.


“We strengthened our position as the backbone of the country’s fresh produce sector, with

the acquisition of Freshmax New Zealand, which was merged with our local business to

create T&G Fresh. We are already realising synergies from this transaction and expect

significant benefits over the coming years as we work through the integration of these two

businesses.”


In talking about the second half of 2020, Mr Edgecombe says T&G is by no means out of the

woods.


“Across all markets, we’re witnessing incredible volatility and uncertainty. This is particularly

the case in Asia, where sales continue to be impacted by the full or partial closure of

wholesale markets, and large quantities of commodity apples remain unsold. This situation

continues to unfold globally and we’re managing our costs tightly as we navigate through it.


“While it’s too early to see the full effects of COVID-19 on our business, including the impact

it has on the sale of apples in the second half of the year, I’m very positive about the long-

term future of T&G.


“More so than ever, consumers are seeking out safe, trusted, healthy food, and this puts

T&G and New Zealand in a very unique position. With an increasingly strong financial

position, T&G is positioned well to maximise this opportunity and deliver increased value to

our shareholders.”

T&G GLOBAL LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020 | 3

Over the last two years, we have focused on transforming T&G Global from a
commodity exporter to a customer-led premium fresh produce business. While

the journey is by no means finished, the Group’s financial performance for the six

months to 30 June 2020 demonstrates our team’s hard work is starting to deliver

the right results and setting us up for future growth.

Across the world, our 2,500 people are united by our purpose

to grow healthier futures through fresh fruit and vegetables. It

is pleasing to see our ongoing transformation not only growing

healthier futures for our people, customers and communities,

but also a healthier financial future for our business.

The results have been delivered in what has been a very

challenging start to 2020. Across the world, people, industries

and countries are being significantly affected by COVID-19,

and this volatility and uncertainty will continue into the future.

Throughout this time, our number one focus has been the

safety of our people and our communities.

We were privileged to operate as an essential service during

New Zealand’s lockdown, and this ensured fresh produce

flowed to Kiwis and consumers across the world. In all of our

markets, we maintained continuous operations.

Our vertically integrated supply chain, combined with our

people’s expertise and determination, and our on-the-ground

presence in key markets, meant we were able to respond

quickly to COVID-19 while maintaining a steadfast focus on

delivering our financial targets.

Good financial progress

For the first six months of 2020, total revenue for the Group

increased by 20% to $671.3 million, compared to the same

period last year, and operating profit lifted to $19.5 million,

from $6.2 million. Net profit before tax increased to $13.7

million, up from $3.0 million, and net assets increased to

$479.8 million.

A key driver of these results was the performance of our

Apples division and our New Zealand domestic business.

The Apples business increased revenue for the period to

$440.5 million, from $315.4 million.

The 2020 New Zealand growing season produced a good

harvest, with conducive weather in autumn and summer

contributing to 6.3 million TCEs of apples picked by our

growers and ourselves. To mitigate any potential supply chain

challenges arising in light of COVID-19, we moved quickly

to hire a charter ship to transport apples to Europe and the

United Kingdom. This strategic decision paid off. Our fruit

arrived in-market early and this was a key factor behind our

uplift in apple sales in the first half of the year.

Chairman and CEO Review

PLATFORM FOR GROWTH

4 | T&G GLOBAL LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2020

PROF. KLAUS JOSEF LUTZ
CHAIRMAN

GARETH EDGECOMBE

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Following the acquisition of Freshmax New Zealand on

30 April, we have integrated it with our local New Zealand

business to create T&G Fresh. This strengthened our position

as the backbone of Aotearoa’s fresh fruit and vegetable sector.

Synergies have begun to be realised from this transaction, and

we expect significant benefits over the coming years as we

work through the integration of these two businesses.

While some of our New Zealand customers were impacted

by not being able to physically operate during New Zealand’s

lockdown, the Freshmax New Zealand acquisition and

increased sales through retail channels contributed to a 14%

increase in T&G Fresh’s revenue to $153.8 million, from $135.4

million in 2019.

Strong team driving our business

forward

We are very proud of what our people have achieved.

The ongoing transformation of our business has required

some tough decisions. It hasn’t always been easy as we’ve

reorganised ourselves, built new capabilities, and introduced

new processes, ways of working and a tight control on costs.

However, these results reflect our team’s hard work and the

momentum in our business.

Together, our people have worked tirelessly to adapt quickly

to the impact of COVID-19. They kept our business running

by making fast decisions, responding to opportunities and

T&G Global Chairman Prof. Klaus Josef Lutz (left) and

Chief Executive Officer Gareth Edgecombe (right)

challenges, working collaboratively, and keeping each other

and our communities safe at every step of the way.

Across many of our markets, we supported communities

facing food insecurity. Fresh produce was donated to food

hubs, rescue agencies and charities, and we supported the

repurposing of New Zealand’s Fruit in Schools programme

during lockdown, providing fruit and vegetable boxes to those

in need.

Looking ahead in an uncertain world

The second half of the year will continue to be volatile and

uncertain. Across many markets, there are risks outside

our control. This is particularly the case in Asia, where

sales continue to be impacted by the full or partial closure

of wholesale markets, and large quantities of domestic

commodity apples remain unsold. To help us navigate

potential challenges, we are managing costs tightly.

It is too early to see the full effects of COVID-19 on our

business, and while apple sales are largely to plan, we still have

a sizeable percentage to sell for the season. Notwithstanding

this, we are very positive about the long-term future of T&G.

In a world where consumers are seeking out sustainable

nutrition which is safe and trusted, both T&G and New Zealand

have everything in their favour. With T&G’s increasingly

strong financial position, we are well placed to maximise this

opportunity and deliver increased value to our shareholders.

financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2019 Annual Report), which

has been prepared in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS), other applicable New

Zealand Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate for profit-oriented entities, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements are expressed in New Zealand dollars which is the Group’s presentation currency.

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

Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The Group makes estimates and judgments concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates may, by definition, not equal the

related actual results. The estimates and judgments used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are

consistent with those used in the 2019 Annual Report.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On 11 March 2020 the World Health Organisation declared a global pandemic as a result of the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

To combat the spread of the virus in New Zealand, the New Zealand Government moved the country into a full lockdown of non-essential

services from Wednesday 25 March 2020 to Monday 27 April 2020. The Group's New Zealand operations were classified as an essential

service, and continued operations with strict safety procedures implemented. However, the lockdown did impact the Group's operations.

As the spread of the virus slowed in New Zealand, lockdown measures eased between Tuesday 28 April 2020 and Tuesday 12 May 2020

allowing for more activity to resume. Social distancing measures continued easing until Tuesday 9 June, when activity largely resumed as

normal, with border controls.

The Group has assessed the impact of COVID-19 on items on the balance sheet, specifically considering the carrying value of items held at fair

value, or where management judgment is applied in the valuation of an asset or liability. This assessment is based on information available at

the time of preparing these interim financial statements.

Trade receivables

The Group did not see a significant increase in local customer default during the lockdown or post-lockdown period to 30 June 2020. There

were also no significant increases in instances of customer default in the Group’s international customer base during this time. Because of

this, there were no material changes in the inputs used in the recalculation of the Group’s allowance for expected credit losses, namely the

Probability of Default and the Loss Given Default.

The recalculation showed no additional allowances for expected credit losses were required at 30 June 2020 and the carrying value of trade

receivables is assessed as appropriate.

The Group continues to monitor customer activity and any changes that may affect the allowance for expected credit losses and the carrying

value of trade receivables.

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION (CONTINUED)

Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)

COVID-19 Pandemic (continued)

Inventory

The Group noted no significant impact on ageing of inventory or inventory written off during the lockdown period. There has been a normal

turnaround of produce in the domestic market, and produce can be moved internationally despite early logistical challenges. Once fruit is

in-market internationally, the Group’s current experience is that produce can be moved given demand for fresh produce and that the sale of

produce internationally is occurring.

The carrying value of inventories at 30 June 2020 is assessed as appropriate and will be reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year.

Carrying value of commercial land and buildings, orchard land and improvements, and investment property

The Group holds these assets at fair value with valuations provided by independent valuers. COVID-19 may have an impact on the carrying

value of property though there is currently limited transactional activity in the market to draw conclusions from.

In assessing the carrying value of property, management has looked at market conditions existing prior to COVID-19, the most recent

valuations carried out during November 2019 and consulted with external parties. This assessment has not uncovered any indicators that fair

values have materially changed at 30 June 2020 and the carrying value of commercial land and buildings, orchard land and improvements, and

investment property is assessed as appropriate at balance date.

The carrying value of these assets will be assessed in line with the Group’s policy and developing market trends throughout the rest of the

financial year.

Carrying value of biological assets

The carrying value of biological assets at 30 June 2020 represents initial growing costs incurred to grow the upcoming season’s apple crop,

and the fair value of citrus and tomatoes. The fair values of citrus and tomatoes are based on expected volume yields and forecasted market

prices based on current market evidence at 30 June 2020.

The fair value of apples is considered as part of the valuation exercise towards the end of the financial year when there is more measurable

biological transformation. This valuation relies on unobservable inputs such as Export Prices per Tray Carton Equivalent (TCE), volumes of TCE’s

per hectare, and a risk adjusted discount rate. COVID-19 may negatively impact on these inputs though at 30 June 2020 the extent of that

impact is uncertain. An assessment of the carrying value of the Group’s apple crop will be made in the full-year financial statements.

Goodwill

The carrying value of goodwill was assessed to consider the impacts of COVID-19. This was done using discounted cash flow (DCF) models

consistent with those used in the Group’s impairment tests for the 2019 financial year. Assumptions used in the DCF model reflected

forecasted impacts of COVID-19 on the profitability of the Group’s cash-generating units to which goodwill is allocated.

The calculations at 30 June 2020 supported the carrying value of goodwill. The Group continues to monitor market conditions on an ongoing

basis and any impact this may have on the carrying value of goodwill.

Investments in associates and joint ventures

Carrying values of the Group’s material investments in associates and joint ventures were assessed to consider the impact of COVID-19 on

these investees. In the six months to 30 June 2020, these investees have returned positive share of income to the Group, and reviews of

forecasted profitability have indicated no significant downturns in trading that would give rise to indicators of impairment.

The carrying value of material investments in associates and joint ventures is assessed as appropriate at 30 June 2020 and will continue to be

monitored through the rest of the financial year.

Borrowings

The Group’s seasonal and term debt facilities are subject to a number of externally imposed bank financial covenants. These covenants are

calculated monthly and reported to the banks on a monthly and quarterly basis. As an essential service provider, the Group traded during the

lockdown period and generated the required cashflow and earnings to meet its covenants at 30 June 2020.

The Group’s seasonal facilities are expected to be repaid before the end of the financial year, and the Group’s classification of its term

borrowings as non-current liabilities is appropriate at 30 June 2020.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-makers. The

chief operating decision-makers have been identified as the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Business Leads of the

Group.

The chief operating decision-makers assess the performance of the operating segments based on operating profit, which reflects earnings

before financing income and expenses, share of profit from joint ventures and associates, other income, other expenses and income tax

expense. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm’s length basis. Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as

well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

No single external customer’s revenue accounts for 10% or more of the Group’s revenue.

Operating segments

The Group comprises the following main operating segments:

In line with the Group’s strategy to focus on its core business, Processed Foods is not considered a main operating segment for the Group

in 2020. Results from the business units that previously formed this segment have been included in the International Trading and Other

operating segment in the current year. There have been other changes made to the composition of business segments to reflect the Group’s

internal reporting. Prior year segment results have been re-presented to ensure consistency with the current period.

Segment information provided to the chief operating decision-makers for the reportable segments is shown in the following tables.

4. TAXATION

Current tax


Current tax expense for the interim periods presented is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the period, calculated as the

estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period and adjusted for any permanent and

timing differences.


Deferred tax


The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amounts of the assets and

liabilities, using the estimated average annual effective income tax rate for the interim periods presented.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The tax impact of the reinstatement of tax depreciation on buildings which was passed in the COVID-19 Response (Taxation and Social Assis-

tance Urgent Measures) Act 2020 is yet to be determined.

7. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Summary of acquistion

On 17 December 2019, the Group announced the acquisition of Freshmax New Zealand Limited (Freshmax NZ), subject to a number of

conditions. These conditions were satisfied on 2 April 2020 with the acquisition being approved by New Zealand Commerce Commission on

the same date. The Group completed the transaction and acquired 100 per cent of Freshmax NZ on 30 April 2020.

Freshmax NZ consists of three market sites and distribution services throughout New Zealand. A large proportion of Freshmax NZ’s business is

the sale of fresh produce and provision of distribution services to its customers, which is complementary to the Group’s T&G Fresh business.

Freshmax NZ was acquired to grow the Group’s domestic fresh produce business and supply chain. The acquisition will bring enhanced

trading and strong ongoing supply relationships in key categories.

The acquisition qualifies as a business as defined in NZ IFRS 3.

Freshmax NZ contributed $18.2 million to revenue and $0.6 million to the Group’s profit after tax for the period between the date of

acquisition and the reporting date.

If the acquisition of Freshmax NZ had been completed on the first day of the financial year, the Group’s revenue for the year would have been

$712.1 million and profit after tax would have been $11.5 million.

Preliminary goodwill arose from the acquisition of Freshmax NZ because the cost of combination included amounts relating to its future

profitability expectations, forecast revenue growth, future market development, and synergies with existing Group operations. These benefits

are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognistion criteria for identifiable intangible assets. None of the

goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The gross value of trade and other receivables is $5.2 million which also represents the fair value of trade and other receivables. At acquisition

date, it is estimated that all amounts are collectable. The fair value of other identifiable assets and liabilities is assessed as their carrying value

at 30 April 2020.

Acquisition related costs have been excluded from the consideration transferred and recognised in ‘Other operating expenses’ in the income

statement for the period ended 30 June 2020.

On the following page is a preliminary analysis of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. At the date of

finalisation of these unaudited condensed interim financial statements, some of the necessary calculations related to intangible assets, right-of-

use assets and lease liabilities had not been finalised and have only been provisionally determined based on best estimates of the likely values.

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

Fair value hierarchy

All financial assets and liabilities that use methods and assumptions to estimate fair value at 30 June 2020 are considered to be level 2 in the

fair value hierarchy (30 June 2019: level 2; 31 December 2019: level 2).

Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are consistent with those used in the 2019 Annual Report.

For the six months ended 30 June 2020 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2019, the estimated fair values of all of the Group’s

other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values.

10. CONTINGENCIES

There has been no material change in contingent liabilities during the period.
