¹ The total shareholder return combines the share price performance, the warrant price performance, the net value of converting any warrants
into shares, and the dividends paid to shareholders. It assumes all dividends are reinvested in the company’s dividend reinvestment plan, and
that shareholders exercise their warrants at warrant expiry date, (if they were in the money).
2
The adjusted NAV return is the net return to an investor after fees and tax.
(The TSR and adjusted NAV return can be found in the Barramundi Non-GAAP Financial Information policy. A copy of the policy is available at

• Total shareholder return

• Adjusted net asset value (NAV) return

22.5%
• 2.79 cents per share in dividends paid during the six month period
NZX-listed investment company Barramundi Limited (NZX:BRM) today announced a net
operating profit after tax of $31.6m for the six month period ended 31 December 2020 (1H20,
$12.7m).
Total shareholder return (TSR) for the six months ended 31 December 2020 was 52.8% and
adjusted net asset value (NAV) increased by 22.5%. This result was well ahead of the S&P/ASX
200 Index (hedged 70% to NZD)
3
which increased by 13.3%.
In accordance with the company’s distribution policy (2.0% of average NAV per quarter), a total
of 2.79 cents per share was paid to Barramundi shareholders during the six months ended
31 December 2020. On 17 February 2021, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of 1.58 cents
per share to be paid to shareholders on 26 March 2021 with a record date of 4 March 2021.
On 26 August 2020, Barramundi announced a new pro-rata warrant issue (BRMWF) as part of
its capital management programme. Shareholders were issued one warrant for every four
shares held on 5 October 2020. The warrants give holders the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase additional Barramundi shares on 29 October 2021 at an exercise price of $0.70
adjusted down for dividends declared during the period up to the announcement of the
exercise price. The final exercise price will be announced and an exercise form provided in early
to mid September 2021.
The first six months of Barramundi’s 2021 financial year delivered a gross performance return
of 24.9%, while the Australian S&P/ASX 200 Index (hedged 70% to NZD)
3
was up 13.3% for the
same period. Barramundi’s Chair, Alistair Ryan, said: “We’re very pleased with the strong
outperformance by the Barramundi portfolio over the first half of the 2021 financial year. We
attribute the ongoing growth of the Barramundi portfolio to the Manager’s continued focus on
investing in high quality companies. Shareholders continued to receive reliable dividends
throughout the pandemic period coupled with strong growth in the portfolio value. It remains
to be seen how the second half of the financial year will play out but the strong first half
performance has clearly demonstrated the benefits of a rigorous and detailed approach to
stock selection, retention and divestment.”
Portfolio Manager, Robbie Urquhart, said:
“It has been a great six months for our Barramundi portfolio. In addition to having a supportive
equity market backdrop, the management teams of our portfolio companies have done an
excellent job navigating the COVID environment. The broad range of portfolio holdings
delivered strong returns for Barramundi shareholders in the period.
The blend of high-quality businesses in our portfolio should stand Barramundi shareholders in
good stead as the world slowly works its way towards economic normalisation during 2021.
However, pandemic and economic uncertainties can be expected to prevail and the second half
of the year is anticipated to be no less challenging than the first half.”

Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013.

The fair value of investments traded in active markets are based on last sale prices at balance date, except
where the last sale price falls outside the bid-ask spread for a particular investment, in which case the bid
price will be used to value the investment.
The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined through valuation techniques using spot
exchange rates and forward points supplied by The World Markets Company PLC via Refinitiv.
The interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for full year financial statements
and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial report for the year ended 30 June
2020.
The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted
Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with the International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial
Reporting and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Given that the investment portfolio is managed, and performance is evaluated, on a fair value basis in
accordance with a documented investment strategy, Barramundi has classified all of its investments at fair
value through profit or loss.
The impact of COVID-19 was assessed during the preparation of these interim financial statements and
whether there were any indicators affecting the Company's ability to operate as a going concern. No
indicators were identified, and the Company remains a going concern.

(iii) Administration fee: Fisher Funds provides corporate administration services and a fee is payable
m
onthly in arrears.
In accordance with the terms of the management agreement, when a performance fee is earned, it is paid
within 60 days of the balance date.
(ii)Performance fee: Fisher Funds may earn an annual performance fee of 10% plus GST of excess returns
o
ver and above the performance fee hurdle return (being the change in the NZ 90 Day Bank Bill Index plus
7%) subject to achieving the High Water Mark ("HWM"). The total performance fee amount is subject to
a cap
of
1.25% of the net asset value and is settled fully in cash.
Off-market transactions between Barramundi and other funds managed by Fisher Funds take place for the
purposes of rebalancing portfolios without incurring brokerage costs. These transactions are conducted after
the market has closed at last sale price (on an arm’s length basis). Purchases for the period ended 31
December 2020 totalled $168,533 (31 December 2019: $3,388,954) and no sales were made (31 December
2019: $55,960).
The Manager of Barramundi is Fisher Funds Management Limited ("Fisher Funds" or "the Manager"). Fisher
Funds is a related party by virtue of the Management Agreement. In return for the performance of its duties as
Manager, Fisher Funds is paid the following fees:
The HWM is the dollar amount by which the net asset value per share exceeds the highest net asset value
per share (after adjustment for capital changes and distributions) at the end of any previous calculation period
in which a performance fee was payable, multiplied by the number of shares at the end of the period.
For the period ended 31 December 2020 excess returns of $23,308,532 (31 December 2019: $3,725,076)
were generated and the net asset value per share before the deduction of a performance fee was $0.81 (31
December 2019: $0.71), which exceeded the HWM after adjustment for capital changes and distributions of
$0.65 (31 December 2019: $0.59). Accordingly, the Company has expensed a capped performance fee of
$2,136,254 in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period ended 31 December 2020 (31
December 2019: $378,096).
(i) Management fee: 1.25% (plus GST) per annum of the gross asset value, calculated weekly and payable
monthly in arrears. The fee reduces if the Manager underperforms, thereby aligning the Manager's in
terests
w
ith those of the Barramundi shareholders. For every 1% underperformance (relative to the change in the NZ
90 Day Bank Bill Index) the management fee percentage is reduced by 0.1%, subject to a minimum 0.75%
per annum management f
ee.

Independent auditor’s review report
To the shareholders of Barramundi Limited
Report on the interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Barramundi Limited (the Company), which
comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, and the statement of
comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the six
months ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these
accompanying interim financial statements of the Company do not present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2020, and its financial performance
and cash flows for the six months then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard
34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting
Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410
(Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ
SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibility is further described in the Auditor’s responsibility for the
review of the interim financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New
Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor, our
firm carries out agreed-upon procedures for the Company over performance fee calculations. The
provision of these other services has not impaired our independence.
Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair
presentation of these interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for
such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair
presentation of interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.
NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all
material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34. A review of interim financial statements
in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform
procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit
conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and International
Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify
in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.
