5Segmental Reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses whose

operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group operates in the domestic supply chain (i.e. moving and storing freight within countries) and air and ocean freight industries

(i.e. moving freight between countries).

New Zealand, Australia, The Americas and Europe are each reported to management as one segment as the businesses there perform both

domestic and air and ocean services.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in the notes in note 2 with the exception of

deferred tax and the fair value of derivative financial instruments which are not reported on a monthly basis.

The segmental results from operations are disclosed below.

Geographical Segments

The following table represents revenue, margin and certain asset information regarding geographical segments for the six months ended

30 September 2020 and 30 September 2019. Inter segment transactions are entered into on a fully commercial basis.

With the introduction of NZ IFRS 16 it was determined that EBITDA (adjusted) was no longer appropriate to use as a segment measure and

to replace it with Profit Before Tax and Abnormals (PBT).

MAINFREIGHT LIMITED


Financial result for the six months ended 30 September 2020 (Unaudited)


Commentary

Mainfreight is pleased to announce our half-year financial results to 30 September 2020

which are in line with the guidance issued in October, and a satisfactory improvement

on the same period in the prior year.


Revenue $1.609 billion Up $108.39 million or 7.2%

Profit before tax $102.26 million Up $19.42 million or 23.4%


This result reflects the strong improvement in performance in our Australian and

New Zealand operations, supported by ongoing progress in our Asian business.


Profitability in the Americas continues to improve month by month, closing in on the

prior year’s first half, and while our European operations are also trading behind the

year prior at this point, we have seen improved trading subsequent to 30 September

2020. This supports an optimistic view of ongoing improvement in both regions,

notwithstanding the reintroduction of Covid-19 related lockdowns/restrictions.


- 2 -

Divisional Performance (figures in local currencies)


New Zealand (NZ$)

Revenue $378.90 million Up $16.32 million or 4.5%

Profit before tax $37.50 million Up $2.87 million or 8.3%


Strong domestic and international volumes continue to benefit our New Zealand

business units, particularly in the last three months, which has seen the impact of the

Covid-19 level 4 restrictions in April and May redressed.


Ongoing customer gains and strong consumer growth trends are providing record

tonnage across our Transport networks.


Warehousing activity is pleasing, albeit inventory levels are low due to congested

shipping and air supply chains.


Our Air & Ocean business continues to see good results in both import and export

trade. Space constraints are frustrating, but we have seen revenue levels improve, in

part by increased freight rates from shipping and air lines.


Trading in October and now into November continues this improvement, with

pre-Christmas volumes expected to increase further and the benefit of new customers

assisting.


Australia (AU$)

Revenue AU$403.21 million Up AU$42.79 million or 11.9%

Profit before tax AU$30.56 million Up AU$15.60 million or 104.3%


A very pleasing result from our Australian operations led by strong domestic transport

performance.


In our Transport business, the combination of ongoing market share growth and

enhanced network efficiency has seen sales revenues increase alongside improving net

margins. Three branches have been opened in this half-year, with a further six planned.

- 3 -

Warehousing growth continues, with utilisation at 90% despite international supply

chain congestion.


While profitability continues to improve in our Air & Ocean division, margins have been

impacted as shipping and air freight rates increase.


Expectations are for a further increase in freight volumes pre-Christmas, and as a

consequence of Victoria reopening after 112 days of lockdown.


Asia (US$)

Revenue US$42.94 million Up US$6.95 million or 19.3%

Profit before tax US$3.98 million Up US$1.48 million or 59.2%


A pleasing result from our Asian business. Demand for both shipping and air space is

assisting our sales growth, albeit space availability and equipment are difficult to find.

We have also seen better performance from our Southeast Asian branches, particularly

as some manufacturing has moved to this region from China.


Air freight growth has been assisted by Covid-19 related tonnage, and the establishment

of specialised air freight branches within the network.


Freight revenues leading into Christmas remain elevated, and we expect the current

profit and revenue trends to continue.


The Americas (US$)

Revenue US$248.02 million Up US$3.98 million or 1.6%

Profit before tax US$8.50 million Down US$(1.27) million or (13.0)%


A disappointing overall result from our American businesses, particularly in our

domestic Transport operations and in CaroTrans (our NVOCC wholesale sea freight

business).


Improved performance in our Warehousing business has resulted in good revenue

growth and increased warehouse utilisation. Additional Warehousing sites are currently

being planned for Chicago and Dallas, on increased customer enquiry.

- 4 -

Air & Ocean revenues continue to increase, with trading in the last month exceeding

expectations. Air freight in particular has shown pleasing progress.


Transport volumes were impacted during the half year, but we have seen good signs of

improvement in the past month as more customers open manufacturing and

warehousing activities. Customer gains have been satisfactory, and we expect sales

revenues to improve with Christmas trading.


CaroTrans has been our most disappointing performer, with both revenue and

profitability much reduced compared with the same period in the prior year. While

trading has seen small improvements in the last month, CaroTrans’ year-end result will

be behind the year prior.


A difficult first half for our American operations, however better results in October, and

now into November, indicate an improved second six months.


Europe (Euro €)

Revenue €193.78 million In line with prior year

Profit before tax €7.07 million Down €(0.97) million or (12.1)%


A poorer than expected result, as our European operations continue to struggle from the

economic effects of Covid-19.


Low inventory levels brought about by high consumer demand, and constrained supply

chains have impacted our Warehousing profitability.


While intra-European Transport volumes have been steady, increased short-term

illness has had a negative impact on efficiency levels and margins.


Air & Ocean revenues have improved, however capacity constraints across sea and air

carriers have reduced margins.


Revenue growth will be aided by an amount of new business gained, and we expect

improved performance through the balance of the financial year. While several

European countries have recently enforced further lockdowns, activity remains

consistent at pre-lockdown levels.

Group Operating Cash Flows

Operating cash flows were $188.51 million, up from $123.08 million in the prior year,

reflecting increased profitability and strong cash collection.


Net debt is $115.48 million, down from $157.38 million at 31 March 2020, a decrease of

$41.90 million.


Gearing ratios decreased from 14.0% at 31 March 2020 to 10.4%.


During the half-year, net capital expenditure totalled $54.83 million, with expenditure for

land and buildings accounting for $31.32 million, plant and equipment of $16.01 million,

and information technology of $7.50 million.


Our expectations are for capital expenditure for the full financial year ending 31 March

2021 to be in the range of $103 million. A further $114 million is estimated for capital

expenditure in the 2022 financial year.


Network development remains a key strategy; a land acquisition opportunity in Auckland

is likely to settle in this current financial year.


Dividend

The Directors have approved an interim dividend of 30.0 cents per share fully imputed

at the 28% company tax rate, with the books closing on 11 December 2020; payment

will be made on 18 December 2020. This is a 20.0% increase on the prior year’s

interim dividend.


Senior Executive Retirement

Kevin Drinkwater, Mainfreight’s Global Technology Manager, has announced his

intention to retire at the end of 2020. His successor will be appointed from within the

business, and will be announced shortly.


Kevin’s 34-year tenure with the business has spanned a variety of roles, however his

most significant contribution has been the oversight of all aspects of our Technology for

the last 19 years. Thanks to Kevin and his team, we have a global business running on

integrated technology platforms, providing our people with the tools and information to

support our quality services, and our customers with visibility across their supply chains.

Outlook

A pleasing half-year result considering the slow start to the year through the Covid-19

lockdowns in the various countries and regions.


We are extremely proud of our people, across our global network, who have worked

tirelessly to produce these results, navigating the hurdles and fallout from the Covid-19

pandemic and finding solutions for our customers.


We expect to see ongoing improvement across all of our regions as we continue to

grow market share and adjust our businesses to the fluctuating economic climate. In

Australasia, the normal pre-Christmas volume increase is expected, and is likely to be

level or ahead of trading experienced last year.


Strong consumer demand and congested international supply chains are proving to be

challenging for our customers and people alike. The current conditions are however

providing opportunities for more growth and attracting new customers, as they look for

improved service and more certainty in their freight and inventory management.


This confidence provides us with greater certainty to further invest in our network, with

more regional expansion underway, and to increase our commitment to more land and

buildings where appropriate.


Mainfreight will release its full-year results for the 2021 financial year to the market on

26 May 2021. It is our expectation that this full-year result will be much improved on the

year prior.
