Differently For A Healthier World.

THE BOARD’S FY21
AREAS OF FOCUS

• FY21 is a year to consolidate and set ourselves

up for success. We are focused on:

• Delivery of strategy.

• Ensuring good, efficient use of capital spend.

• FY21 NPAT expected to be at or slightly below the

FY20 NPAT result for FY21 as Synlait continues

to focus on optimising its assets and manufacturing

efficiencies.

we work to achieve our growth ambitions. The Board

remains confident that these investments will drive an

improved return over the long-term.
