Skellerup again demonstrated
we have a robust business that is
generating earnings and cash flow
growth from delivering critical
products to our customers around
the world. For the six months ended
31 December 2020, Skellerup
recorded a net profit after tax
(NPAT) of $19.5 million. This was
an outstanding record result and
a 61% improvement over pcp.
This result is the outcome of our consistent
core strategy across our global business.
We design and develop innovative engineered
products that deliver real solutions to original
equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers.
Working closely with customers to clearly
understand their requirements and challenges
is critical to ensuring we rapidly develop and
deliver prototypes and ultimately consistent
standards-compliant products.
While our strategy is unchanged, our
leaders and teams have been challenged.
They have shown great resilience and
adaptability to overcome the impacts and
constraints of Covid-19 to ensure we meet
customer requirements. Despite some
project timelines extending because of
Covid-19, we have successfully moved
into production with new products and
customers across the world, contributing
to Group revenue growth of 11% to $136.6
million in the first half of the year.
Working capital improvements further
boosted the impact of earnings growth
to deliver a record operating cash flow
of $35.1 million, up 33% on pcp. This
surpassed funding required for dividends
and capital expenditure, enabling a
reduction in net debt to $13.0 million at
the end of December 2020.
3
Industrial Division
Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a record
EBIT of $15.5 million, up 52% on the pcp.
Revenue grew by 7% due to increases across
the Division but most notably from increased
sales of potable water, roof flashing, and
plumbing products in Australia and U-Dek
marine foam decking in the US, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand.
Revenue growth was achieved at improved
margins reflecting the value of the products
delivered. Operational improvements including
lower material costs and improved freight
arrangements were also key contributors to the
earnings growth. Our leaders are successfully
moving resources into areas where the largest
benefits can be achieved.
Our strategy to design and deliver consistent,
high-quality engineered, standards-compliant
products for key OEM customers in
international markets has and will continue
to generate revenue and earnings growth.
We have a strong pipeline of new business
at various stages of development.

Agri Division
Skellerup’s Agri Division achieved a record
EBIT of $15.3 million, up 56% on the pcp.
Revenue growth of 18% was the outcome
of increased dairy rubberware sales in
international markets (particularly in Europe),
increased rubber footwear sales in New
Zealand and a full six-month contribution from
Silclear (this was acquired in November 2019
meaning it contributed for only two months
in the pcp).
Operational improvements were also a
significant contributor to the record EBIT
achieved. We have made further operational
gains at our Wigram facility including
improvements in cycle times and changes
in shift patterns. These have smoothed the
peaks and troughs of manufacturing, resulting
in reduced costs of production, and improved
inventory management.
Our ability to rapidly develop new solutions is a
competitive edge. This allied with the essential
nature of the food grade dairy rubberware
(including silicone), filter and animal hygiene
products we produce, mean we continue to
play a crucial role in maintaining milk quality
and protecting animal health around the world.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT 2021
Dividend
Record first half earnings and operating cash
flow, plus increased expectations for the full
year have enabled the Board to declare an
18% increase in the interim dividend to 6.5
cents per share, imputed 50%. This will be
distributed on 18 March 2021 to shareholders
on the register at 5:00pm on 5 March 2021.
Outlook
We have a robust business that is generating
earnings and cash flow growth from delivering
critical products to our customers around
the world. Customer demand remains strong
across our Group. Extended shipping times
and increased freight costs due to congestion
and availability will have some impact in the
near term. We have also seen some increases
in raw materials and will be impacted by the
recent strengthening of the NZ dollar. However,
we have taken early steps to manage these
matters and will continue to ensure we are
able to meet our customers’ needs. We expect
FY21 NPAT to be in the range of $33 million
to $37 million.
The Board is proud of the contribution from
our global team, particularly considering
the significant challenges many continue to
face across the world. We remain focused
on ensuring Skellerup’s team remain well
supported and will continue to invest in the
business to grow sustainable earnings and
shareholder returns.

has been prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting.
The half year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the

Skellerup reports outstanding earnings growth for first half and increases full year FY21
earnings guidance
Skellerup announced today a record unaudited net profit after tax (NPAT) of $19.5 million for the six
months ending 31 December 2020 and increased its full year FY21 NPAT guidance to $33 to $37
million.
Key points for the six months ending 31 December 2020
• Revenue of $136.6 million, up 11% on prior comparative period (pcp)
• Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $27.6 million, up 53% on pcp
o Agri Division EBIT of $15.3 million, up 56% on pcp
o Industrial Division EBIT of $15.5 million, up 52% on pcp
o Corporate Costs of $3.3 million, up 64% on pcp
• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $19.5 million, up 61% on pcp
• Operating cash flow of $35.1 million, up 33% on pcp
• Net debt of $13 million down $15.5 million on FY20 year-end
• Interim dividend of 6.5cps (an increase of 1.0c per share), up 18% on pcp
• FY21 NPAT forecast in the range of $33 million to $37 million.
CEO David Mair said he was very pleased with the earnings growth achieved across all businesses.
“We are focused on our core strategy to deploy our expertise to design and develop innovative
engineered products that deliver real solutions to OEM customers. We continue to work closely with
customers to clearly understand their requirements and challenges to rapidly develop and deliver
prototypes followed by standards-compliant product.”
Mair noted that the first half NPAT was boosted by approximately $0.5 million due to the impact of
Covid-19 and Brexit. “Production constraints caused by Covid-19 caused some deferral of sales from
the prior year into the first half of the current year. In addition, uncertainty over Brexit related
disruption saw some customers increasing purchases in December 2020 providing an additional
earnings boost for the first half of FY21. Our leaders continue to lead and manage around the
impacts of Covid-19 very well. We have seen some project timelines for new products extend but
despite this, we have successfully moved into production with new products and customers in
Australia, the USA and Europe.”
Skellerup’s Agri Division achieved a record EBIT of $15.3 million, up 56% on the pcp. Revenue grew
18% with increased dairy rubberware sales in international markets (particularly into Europe),
increased rubber footwear sales in NZ and a full 6-month contribution from Silclear (acquired in
November 2019). Mair said operational improvements were also a significant contributor to
earnings growth. “We have made further improvements in the efficiency of our operations at
Wigram. Improvements in cycle times has enabled better inventory management to smooth out the
peaks and troughs of manufacturing and changes in shift patterns has been key and delivers
sustainable earnings improvement.”
Skellerup’s Industrial Division also achieved a record EBIT of $15.5 million up 52% on pcp. Revenue
grew by 7% which reflected increases across the Division but most notably increased sales of roof
flashing and plumbing products in Australia and U-Dek marine foam decking in the US, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand. Mair said the improvement in all parts of the Industrial Division was the
result of improvements in all areas. “Our returns have improved because of product mix, new
business, better operational execution and reduced costs. Our leaders are focused on moving time
and resources into areas where the largest benefits can be achieved, and we continue to have a
strong pipeline of new business which will underpin growth in future years.”
Corporate costs of $3.3 million were up $1.3 million due to provisioning for costs associated with
defending a claim against a business Skellerup sold in 2008 and increased performance related
employee expenses.
The excellent first half result meant that expectations for the FY result had increased. Skellerup now
expects to deliver FY21 NPAT in the range of $33 million to $37 million. This is an increase on the
range of $30 million to $35 million advised in October last year. “We are experiencing extended
shipping times and increased freight costs due to congestion and availability. We have also seen
some increases in raw materials and will be impacted by the stronger NZ dollar. All of these factors
will have some impact in the second half of the year. However, we have taken early steps to manage
these risks and will continue to ensure we are able to meet our customers’ needs.”
Chair Liz Coutts said the outstanding first half earnings, record operating cash flow of $35.1 million
and increased expectations for the full year, allowed the Board to declare an 18% increase in the
interim dividend to 6.5 cents per share, imputed 50% (the same as in the pcp).
“During the first half of the year, Skellerup has again demonstrated we have a robust business that is
generating earnings and cash flow growth from delivering critical products to our customers around
the world. The Board is proud of the contribution from our global team, particularly considering the
significant challenges many face across the world. We remain focused on ensuring Skellerup’s team
remain well supported as we target continued investment to grow sustainable earnings and
shareholder returns.”
