Resilient and well placed for an uncertain environment

COVID was a stress-test, but we exceeded expectations

1. Used car market is resilient

2. Diversified business

3. High “trust” brands

4. Digital is a competitive advantage

5. Strong and sustainable yield

6. Experienced management team and directors

17• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
1. Market - The used car market is resilient and robust

•COVID had a temporary impact, before a strong

rebound in June and July

•August impacted by second lockdown, AKL sales

dropped most (c.1/3 of population)

•Net migration has added to post lockdown

demand

•Underlying demand still strong with more cars

exiting the fleet

•Mar 2020: all vehicles imported into the

country required to have ESC, impact in sub

$8k budget segment

•Cost of repairs increasing

•Stricter WoF regime

•20% of vehicle fleet 20 years or older

2a. Geographic diversification

Our 37 sites nationwide offer a unique advantage


Geographical diversification

allows the business to

redeploy inventory


Advantage if there are any

localised lockdowns or

regional demand differences


Online sales / click n collect at

any branch nationwide

19• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
2b. Business diversification

Turners Group is a purposefully diversified business

Each business has different business cycles:


Stable annuity revenue (finance +

insurance) helps offset short-term drop in

activity-based revenue (auto retail + credit).


Credit management is counter-cyclical


Can increase our mix towards consignment

(reduce working capital & any pricing risk).

20• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
3. Brand - leverage the high trust Turners brand

Trust is even more important in a time of uncertainty

•Most trusted brand: Turners is consistently

NZ’s leading used auto retail brand

(independent market research)

•100% online sales demonstrates trust: Sold

600 vehicles during Level 4 and 3 lockdown.

The ability to sell uninspected vehicles online

at scale demonstrates the high trust and

awareness of the Turners brand

•Valuable online presence: Second most visited

auto site, with traffic online hitting all time

highs

2020 Readers Digest Trusted Brand Award:

NZ’s most trusted used car dealer.

21• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
4. Digital advantage

Continue to invest in this crucial competitive advantage

•Maintained headcount of Technology

team: 26 FTE (Applications

15,Infrastructure/Operations11)

•Major investment and resource

commitment in high redundancy data

centre spread between 2 sites (AKL +

HAM)

•Turners Car Subscription launched in

mid-Sept

•Focus going forward on digital

marketing, customer data platform and

marketing automation

22• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
•Q3 dividend (payable April-20) was deferred as a

precaution due to uncertainty of L4 lockdown

•Final FY20 6.0 cps dividend paid July-20

•Turners’ dividend stream is supported by its

robust balance sheet and stability of earnings,

even in this extreme environment

•Directors intend to continue current dividend

policy during FY21 (60% to 70% of NPAT).

numbers are now negligible. Credit policy

tightened, arrears in finance book very low.

Auto Retail

•Strong recovery in metrics since April low point

•Car margins on “owned” fleet has bounced back

strongly due to supply constraints

•Diversified sources of supply a real strength

•Inventory levels down 30% from peak at

beginning of April

•Continuing marketing spend focusing on

Turners “trusted brand”

YTD operating profit flat on Aug 19 YTD

31• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
We continue to optimise our network

Our focus this year is on continued retail optimisation

New Dunedin operation opened May 2020

Continue to optimise retail network


Transition from wholesale to retail eg. exit Penrose, open Mt

Richmond and Westgate


Rationalise sub-scale sites

We want to be closer and more accessible to our customers


Omnichannel world: our sweet spot is c.10,000m2, high profile

site, adjacent to large customer catchment eg. Westgate


Convenience is key, manageable selection on each site, but

maximum selection online and cars are moved around more in a

region (JIT approach)


Logistically simpler and easier to manage a 10,000m2 site than

40,000m2

We continue to cautiously assess new sites either lease or own ...

Property portfolio now 8 sites (valued on books at $50m)


Retail Units up 34% Aug YTD


Gross Profit per unit up 43%


Operating profit $243k v $31k in FY20

32• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
Finance

•Post lockdown lending very strong.

•Improving credit quality via data-driven risk

pricing. Early adopter of comprehensive credit

reporting

•Premium Tier business now accounts for over 50%

of our new business per month

•Promote 100% digital loan process

•Arrears at historic all-time lows, material buffer in

arrears provisioning to allow for any

unemployment increase

•Initial cohort of finance customers with hardship

applications during L4 lockdown are all back paying

better underwriting, less movement in lockdown)

•Focus is on digital distribution eg. Marac Finance,

MotorCentral

•New portfolio management system providing

product and pricing agility

•Increased regularity of claims payments to

support workshop partners...important for

partner relationships

•AM Best upgraded credit rating for Insurance.

Financial strength rating improving to B++ (good).

YTD operating profit significantly ahead of Aug 19 YTD

35• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
Credit management

•Lockdown has been a good reminder of the strong

“payment bank” annuity component to this business

which has held up very well.

•Due to the cautious approach by large banks and

government agencies to manage reputational risk,

we expect the debt load to ramp up early in 2021.

•This impacted new debt load and ability to work

existing debtors already loaded.

•Digital cost efficiencies – Xero/MYOB integration and

building digital self-service channels for debtors.

•Non performing debt expected to build, which ECCC

will be a beneficiary of similar to pattern

experienced post GFC

YTD operating profit down on Aug 19 YTD; but poised for acceleration

36• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
Our focus for FY21

Auto Retail

•Continue to invest in promoting the Turners brand - build market share

•Retail optimisation – Exit Penrose and launch Westgate, Mt Richmond

Finance

•Keep improving credit quality through data driven risk pricing

•Continued focus on arrears and rehabilitation

•Promote 100% digital loan process

Credit/Management

•Working closely with corporates to manage reputational risk

36• FY20 RESULTS PRESENTATION

•In FY20 we sold 26% of cars at a loss, equating to $2.87m

•Optimising sales prices is a substantial opportunity

•A proof of concept has been developed using AI technology in February 2020, expecting

deployment early in 2021

40• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
Example #3 Digital - Customer data platform - Business case

”Low hanging fruit” opportunity to improve lead conversion

Improve conversion metrics:

•100,000 unique users visit turners.co.nz each month

•Most were anonymous, only ~10% are returning customers

•Now communicating in a more personalised, relevant and timely

way

•Current conversion into sale/purchase/finance less than c. 5% of

top of funnel leads

•High ROI project that will yield significant business outcomes

Achieved by marketing automation + improved customer data

41• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
Example #4 Digital - 100% online loan sign up process

•Deployed 100% online sign up process in July

•25% of loans in July used “secured signing”,

rising to 40% of loans in August

•Much faster process for customers and

originators and helps with identity fraud as well

•Secured Signing uses Digital Signature (PKI

encryption) technology to verify & proves the

document has not been modified after signing

Obtaining customer signatures in order to

close a deal can prove challenging. The

traditional paper process is often time

consuming and costly and may take days

to complete.

Digital signing replaces the need to

capture a physical signature on a

document moving the process online.

Outlook

44• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING

Business has rebounded strongly since lockdown and demonstrated resilience, and business has

momentum and providing some optimism about H2


We are targeting FY21 NPBT to be in the range of $28m to $31m. This is conditional upon no further

substantive lockdowns occurring before year end.


An indicative full year dividend at this level of net profit before tax would be 17.0 cps (fully imputed).
