NAPIER PORT THIRD QUARTER IMPACTED BY COVID-19 DISRUPTION

ended 30 June 2020 financial results down on the prior year due to lower container and bulk

TRADING RESULTS

Napier Port (NZX.NPH) today reports lower revenue and underlying earnings for the nine months to 30

June 2020 due to reductions in container and bulk cargo volumes as the result of COVID-19 disruptions.

Third quarter revenue was down by 16.2% to $24.3 million from $29.0 million in the same period last

year. Revenue for the nine months decreased 1.4% to $76.6 million from $77.6 million last year.

Container services

Container services revenue for the quarter of $17.3 million decreased 14.3% from $20.2 million in the

same period last year. For the nine months, container services revenue increased by 0.9% to $48.2

million from $47.8 million due to improved average revenue per TEU, offset by lower container volumes.

Average revenue per TEU for the nine months increased 3.9% to $230 from $222 in the same period

last year, assisted by tariffs introduced during 2019 to recover costs of infrastructure investments made

to extend capacity and support our growth.

Container volumes for the quarter decreased by 17.4% to 74K TEU reflecting COVID-19 disruptions

including the restrictions on ‘non-essential’ cargo, such as timber, wood pulp, wool, and paper products,

during Alert Level 4 and reduced empty container imports. For the nine months, container volumes

reduced by 2.9% to 210K TEU from 216K TEU in the same period last year.

Bulk cargo

Bulk cargo revenue for the quarter of $6.3 million decreased 20.3% from $7.9 million in the same period

last year. For the nine months, bulk cargo revenue was down by 9.0% to $22.3 million from $24.5 million

as volumes reduced by 12.8% to 2.2 million tonnes from 2.6 million tonnes in the same period a year

ago.

Log export volume reduced by 14.3% to 1.6 million tonnes from 1.9 million tonnes for the nine-month

period due to the cessation of log harvesting during Alert Level 4 and Chinese export market conditions.

Average revenue per tonne increased 4.4% to $10.02 from $9.60 in the same period last year.

Operating results

The result from operating activities for the third quarter was down by 31.6% to $9.3 million from $13.7

million. For the nine months the result from operating activities declined by 13.0% to $31.1 million from

$35.7 million due to lower revenue and operating expenses increasing in line with expectations to

support growth and build operational resilience. Operating expenses increased with higher employee

numbers, higher insurance costs, and listed company costs in the nine months compared to the same

period last year.

Pro forma EBITDA for the quarter reduced by 30.1% to $9.3 million from $13.3 million in the same

period last year. For the nine months, pro forma EBITDA reduced by 10.8% to $30.8 million from $34.5

million. Pro forma operating expenses in the quarter reduced 4.5% and increased 6.2% for the nine

months compared to the same periods last year.

Pro forma net profit after tax for the third quarter reduced by 43.7% to $4.2 million from $7.5 million in

the same period last year. For the nine months this reduced by 14.3% to $15.5 million from $18.1 million.

The reported statutory net profit after tax for the nine months of $18.7 million, up from $16.3 million in

the same period last year, includes the receipt of the government’s COVID-19 wage subsidy of $2.0

million (gross of tax effect) and a one-off non-cash deferred tax gain of $1.5 million related to the

deductibility of tax depreciation on buildings, both of which are excluded from the pro forma result. The

statutory net profit after tax also benefited from reduced finance costs of $3.0 million when compared

to the same period a year ago.

Chair Alasdair MacLeod says: “These results cover the period that included the Level 4 COVID-19

lockdown, when all but the cargo the Government deemed ‘essential’ reduced sharply. With the gradual

lifting of restrictions, we have seen a recovery in cargo volumes flowing across our wharves, albeit not

to the levels we anticipated prior to the lockdown.

“These disruptions have weighed on our earnings for both the three-month and nine-month periods.

Meanwhile continued uncertainty about the medium-term impact of the pandemic and month-to-month

volatility in trade flows continue to pose challenges to accurately assessing the outlook for the future.

“Despite this uncertainty, Napier Port and the broader region is weathering the pandemic relatively well.

We expect the primary sector cargo that underpins our business and the prosperity of the region to

continue to flow across our wharves and, over the long-term, grow. We continue to invest to support

that long-term growth and our customers.”

Chief Executive Todd Dawson says: “As we signalled in May, the 2020 financial year is emerging as a

year of two halves, with the first largely in line with forecasts we set at the time of our 2019 initial public

offer and the second seeing the COVID-19 disruption to trading and the resulting softening in our

financial performance.

“Volumes of key trades since the end of the lockdown in April have been volatile, particularly log exports.

Major apple packers have reported strong harvests, but, due to the volatility in international markets,

our customers are taking longer to clear inventory than prior years. These dynamics have seen Napier

Port moving slightly lower volumes of apple and pear containers compared to the same period in the

prior year.

“Meat volumes have been steady, while import trades have been in line with last year despite the

economic uncertainty. Timber volumes have, meanwhile, been solid.

“Napier Port continues to build capability and capacity for the future. The 6 Wharf construction project

continues to progress in line with expectations. We are also pleased with progress we have made on

other strategic initiatives, including the commissioning of our third tug Kaweka and our second off port

container depot in Thames Street, Napier.

“In June we welcomed the Government’s in-principle support to help fund the development of an inland

port at Whakatu, which forms part of Napier Port’s future infrastructure masterplan. The Government

support potentially offers Napier Port the opportunity to bring forward this development in return for

favourable funding terms. The financing package is subject to the agreement of terms and Board

approval of a business case.

“All of these developments position the company well for the long-term. They help us to drive efficiencies

and provide capacity for the long-term growth in cargo we expect to flow from the region.”

BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

Napier Port retains a strong balance sheet following its capital raising in the prior year. At 30 June 2020,

cash and cash equivalents stood at $18.0 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 to fund the 6 Wharf

development, the majority of which mature in 2024.

Our strategic investments are cementing our capability to continue growing our position as the preferred

gateway in the central and lower north island for cargo owners.

Over the nine-month period Napier Port has invested $30.9 million in capital assets with $14 million

2


spent on 6 Wharf construction. Other projects included the commissioning of Kaweka, the new off-port

container depot, and replacement wharf maintenance, maintenance dredging, paving works and mobile

plant.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE AND OUTLOOK

Napier Port now expects pro forma NPAT for the 12 months to 30 September 2020 to be approximately

$20 million, assuming no material change to trading conditions. This expectation benefits from our


2

$19 million including accounting capex accruals

4

COVID-19 response measures, including employee benefit and short-term operating expense deferrals,

and excludes pro forma adjustment items such as the COVID-19 wage subsidy.

“Beyond the end of the financial year the outlook is still subject to considerable uncertainty. Cruise ship

visits are unlikely to resume for the coming cruise season, which traditionally commences in October

and extends through summer. Meanwhile, it is still difficult to assess how the pandemic will affect

demand for key trades from export markets and imports to the region,” Mr Dawson said.

“As we noted at the half year 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 expect to provide a further update when we release our results for the 2020 financial

year in November.”


As advised with our half year results announcement, a decision on the final dividend will be made by

the Napier Port board in conjunction with the full financial year result and outlook in November 2020.

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.

NAPIER PORT HOLDINGS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 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.

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 nine months ended 30 June 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 nine months ended 30 June 2019 has been

restated to $0.15 per share (previously $0.77 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 30

June 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.

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 expected credit loss

allowance of $339,000 in respect of its trade receivable balance at 30 June 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.

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 30 June 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 nine months ended on that

date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.


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

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

state to them in a review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we

do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's

shareholders as a body, for our review work, for this report, or for our findings.

Directors’ Responsibilities

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

financial statements which comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

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

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

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

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


Reviewer’s Responsibilities

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interim Financial Reporting.


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

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

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

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

incorporate the independence requirements of the External Reporting Board.

Basis of Statement

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

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

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

other review procedures.


NINE MONTH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020 / 11

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited



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 risk assessment

processes to the Group and a limited assurance engagement, which are compatible with those

independence requirements. Other than the audit, this review and 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 30 June 2020 and its

financial performance and cash flows for the nine 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 24 August 2020 and our findings are expressed as at that date.

Napier Port Holdings Limited
Supplemental selected financial information (unaudited)

The below supplemental financial information provides a summary of financial information for

the third quarter (3Q2020) and nine months (9M2020) ended 30 June 2020 compared to

corresponding periods in 2019 (3Q2019 and 9M2019) on a basis consistent with that

described in the prospective financial information (PFI) contained in the Product Disclosure

Statement (PDS) and the document entitled "Napier Port’s Prospective Financial Information,

a reconciliation of non-NZ GAAP to NZ GAAP information and supplementary financial

information" (Supplementary Financial Information) dated 15 July 2019 and published in

connection with the initial public offer of Napier Port Holdings Limited (and available on the

Offer Register at www.business.govt.nz/disclose (OFR126790)).

The historical financial information is extracted from Napier Port Holdings Limited’s audited

financial statements (FY2019) and unaudited financial statements (9M2020).

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this document have the meanings given to them in

the PDS and the Supplementary Financial Information.


Notes:

1.

The selected financial information (excluding any financial information in the selected financial information table that is

identified as being pro forma financial information and underlying reported EBITDA) is extracted from audited financial

statements of Napier Port Holdings Limited for FY2019 and unaudited financial statements for 9M2020. Some line items in

the selected financial information include adjustments applied by Napier Port (denoted ‘pro forma’). For an explanation of

pro forma adjustments, please refer to Section 7.9 (Reconciliation of Pro forma EBITDA to Statutory NPAT) and Part B of

the Supplementary Financial Information.

2.

Revenue relates to operating income as disclosed for the Historical Periods in the Financial Statements for Napier Port.

3.

Underlying reported EBITDA is a non-NZ GAAP measure that includes pro forma adjustments. This measure includes

adjustments also used in Pro forma EBITDA but excludes pro forma costs not yet incurred as shown in the reconciliation of

Pro forma EBITDA to Statutory NPAT in section 1.2 below.

4.

Pro forma EBITDA is a non-NZ GAAP measure that includes pro forma adjustments as described in Section 7.9

(Reconciliation of Pro forma EBITDA to Statutory NPAT) of the PDS.

5.

Pro forma net profit after tax is a non-NZ GAAP measure. This measure reflects the pro forma adjustments reflected in pro

forma EBITDA, the impairment of the investment in the Longburn Intermodal Freight Hub joint venture, the incremental

costs of operating as a listed company and the overlay of Napier Port’s capital structure following completion of the IPO as

if it had been in place since 1 October 2018. The pro forma operating tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the tax

implications of the pro forma adjustments and the tax benefit associated with the reinstatement of tax depreciation on

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

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

activities adjusted for offer costs, the incremental costs of operating as a listed company, receipt of the Covid-19 wages

subsidy, 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, including the receipt of the government’s Covid-19 wage subsidy;

(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.
