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

18• 2020 ANNUAL MEETING
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).

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

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

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

•Continued focus on arrears and rehabilitation
•Promote 100% digital loan process
Credit/Management
•Extending into ledger management from credit collections

•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.
