NEW ZEALAND KING SALMON ANNOUNCES 1H21 RESULT
New Zealand King Salmon Investments Ltd (NZX & ASX:NZK) reports its financial performance for the
six month period ended 31 December 2020 (1H21). Key points include:
• Covid-19 disruptions to both domestic and export markets have impacted profitability.
• Mitigation strategies include a global rebalancing of sales towards retail and the prioritisation
of premium customer opportunities.
• Clearing excess inventory with retail price promotions and selective foodservice sales
impacted margins but did improve cashflow.
• Average price achieved of $23.90/kg, slightly down from $24.46/kg in 1H20.
• Revenue of $82.4m, down from $84.2m in 1H20, reflecting lower average pricing.
• Sales volume of 3,441 tonnes was equal to 1H20.
• Pro Forma Operating EBITDA of $10.5m, compared with $16.5m in 1H20.
• Statutory NPAT of ($4.3m), down from $20.8m in 1H20.
• No interim dividend is declared.
Chairman John Ryder said: “Despite a challenging year with the Covid-19 pandemic still affecting our
business, sales volumes in the six months were almost identical to the previous year. This result is
encouraging considering the ongoing restrictions on foodservice, particularly in the US and Europe.
“Re-establishing our global sales incurred higher costs with expensive air freight being a significant
factor.
“In the US, it’s excellent to see our Ōra King salmon now being sold via new channels, including
speciality seafood online, and an increased retail presence for our Regal smoked salmon. In addition
to premium branded sales recovering, we believe we have sufficient indications of positive demand
to ensure clearance of all surplus fish by around mid CY21.”
New Zealand King Salmon CEO Grant Rosewarne acknowledged it had been a tough period following
the continued impact of the lockdown but anticipates that sales demand will again be greater than
the company’s ability to supply later in the year.
“Necessary changes to our sales strategies have impacted profitability and this has increased our
determination to build resilience through channel, category and geographic diversity. Core sales have
recovered better than expected – now we need to rebuild value.
“We have already paved the way for incremental demand by keeping our premium brands prominent
in the mind of the consumer. In New Zealand, for example, we have chosen to promote our new Regal
Maple range to encourage trial, grow the market and build Regal brand awareness. Customers around
the world are still eager for our King salmon products which fit well into the growing global demand
for healthy and safe food products.
“We continue to evolve our aquaculture model with upwelling being used on the farms where we
have seen warmer water temperatures, particularly on lower flow sites.
“We’re optimistic that our plans to farm in the open ocean, 7kms north of Cape Lambert in the Cook
Strait are progressing well. Our Blue Endeavour application is now expected to have a hearing in
July/August this year. If successful, we would expect a harvest in mid CY24.”
The application is aligned with the Government’s Aquaculture Strategy which was launched in late
2019 with the objective to have the industry achieve $3 billion by 2035.
“Blue Endeavour will play a critical role in our future with climate change continuing to impact our
farms.
“It’s undoubtedly an exciting time for the industry as the future for salmon farming is in the open
ocean. We will need the continued support from all levels of Government and the community to
achieve it. We firmly believe that Aquaculture could become New Zealand’s most valuable industry
and its greenest primary sector” Mr Rosewarne added.
Following the change in the company’s balance date to 31 January, further information on the outlook
will be provided at the full year results announcement at the end of March.

1H21 HALF YEAR RESULTS
1H21 SUMMARY
Profitability impacted by COVID-19. These impacts are expected to be temporary:
•Profitability impacted by early calendar year 2020 sales disruption and its flow on impacts:
►Higher airfreight costs.
►Requirement to move excess inventories built up during lockdown – an industry-wide issue.
►Higher than usual domestic retail promotional activity to stimulate sales.
•Pro Forma Operating EBITDA of $10.5m, compared with $16.5m in 1H20. Proforma NPAT of $3.7m, compared with $8.7m in 1H20.
•Statutory NPAT of ($4.3m), compared with $20.8m in 1H20.
•Imported Atlantic programme now margin positive.

1H21 HALF YEAR RESULTS
1H21 SUMMARY (CONTINUED)
Strong domestic and international recovery in sales:
•Sales volumes 3,442 MT are consistent with sales during 1H20 (prior to onset of the COVID pandemic) of 3,441 MT.
•Branded product has retained its premium positioning and pricing both domestically and offshore.
•Development of new sales channels in North America resulted in sales volume growth in this market and positions the business well for accelerated
growth as foodservice markets return to strength.
•Strong growth in domestic retail sales with launch of new ‘maple’ hot and cold smoked products. Our TV and promotional activityled to smoked
category growth of 11% year-on-year with NZKS share increasing from 49% to 56%.
•Sales of $82.3m only 2% down on pre-pandemic 1H20 levels ($84.2m).
•Successful June Hog (7kg+ ŌraKing) trial with US customers. Strong example of further product differentiation
and value creation within the product range.
Outlook
•We will make further comment on New Zealand King Salmon’s outlook when FY21 full year results are provided
to the market (end of March)
•We expect all excess inventories of salmon to be cleared by the middle of calendar year 2021.
•Demand anticipated to exceed supply from late calendar year 2021.

1H21 HALF YEAR RESULTS
•Performance recovering as new sales channels are developed resulting in total sales volumes consistent with same time a
year ago (prior to COVID sales disruption). Some excess inventory cleared at lower prices.
•GAAP results are impacted by fair value losses, a function of tighter margins during 1H21. In addition, the mix of livestock
sees a larger proportion of younger fish in the water.

1H21 HALF YEAR RESULTS
New Zealand King Salmon maintains its strong financial position.
Our balance sheet remains strong with debt increasing due to higher inventories:
•Net debt of $43.0m (out of total debt facilities of $65.0m):
►We remain confident we have the funding facilities and bank support in place to
navigate this period.
►Above average inventories expected to be converted to cash in the near future
following strong recovery in sales.
►No issues with customer collections, increases in Receivables reflects improving sales.
►Given the uncertain macroeconomic climate, the Board does not expect to declare a
dividend for the 7 month FY21 year.
•PP&E largely stable with capex slowed to an annual run-rate of ~$10m. Total capex for
the 7 month FY21 year is ~$5.4m.
•‘Other’ current and non-current assets increased by >$15m due increases in the mark-to-
market valuation of foreign exchange contracts.

SALES PERFORMANCE
Sale volumes have been rebuilt, with volumes of product sold in November and December 2020 higher than the same period
in 2019:
•A strong recovery in sales volumes particularly during Q4 calendar year 2020, albeit with temporary margin compression.
•Growth in domestic retail coupled with strong sales in the US as new channels to market are developed has replaced COVID-affected foodservice market.
•Our sales model has become more resilient. Increased sales depth positions the business well for sales during the 2021 calendaryear.
Trends in volumes show a strong recovery in sales, especially in the last 3 months of 2020

SALES BY MARKET - EXPORT
Sales to North America have recovered strongly as alternative channels to market
have been developed
•Record volume of product sold to North America whilst maintaining price in a challenging environment
(except for discrete disposal sales at a lower price).
•We have cultivated new sales channels for our product in North America to fill the gap left behind by
foodservice due to COVID lockdowns. This includes online delivery, fishmongers and specialty retail.
•Successful trial of ŌraKing June Hog in US.
•Post COVID, these new channels should provide the platform for an acceleration of growth in this
market.

SALES BY MARKET - EXPORT
Strong performance in other export markets
Most markets saw an increase in volumes, premium branded product maintained solid price performance
•Australia – a positive result with sales growth as NZKS continues to establish its premium positioning in foodservice markets.
•Asia (ex Japan and China) – this market continues to track well but has been impacted in the short-term by the loss of airline customers.
•Japan – excess frozen volumes cleared through Japan resulting in increased volumes to this market but with margins temporarily impacted.
•Europe – strong and pleasing growth in sales to Europe, as increased resources in this market have delivered record sales volumes for this region.

SALES BY MARKET - DOMESTIC
Growth in retail volumes as emphasis placed on smoked products
•Disruption to export and foodservice markets has created the opportunity to renew domestic retail
interest, grow the market, and build brand awareness.
•NZKS has targeted demand growth in smoked products including through the launch of new
‘maple’ smoked products.
•These initiatives, coupled with promotional activity and increased marketing spend have delivered a
14% year-on-year growth in domestic retail sales (by volume), offsetting contraction in the COVID-
impacted foodservice market.
•Margins have temporarily declined as a result of initiatives to support sales growth.

AVERAGE SALE PRICES
New Zealand King Salmon’s core branded and differentiated business continues to attract premium pricing. Pricing for
these products has remained firm.
Excess product (due to the significant supply and demand imbalance in and around April / May 2020) has resulted in some frozen product being sold in
Japan and the US at lower pricing. Initiatives are in place to have all excess stock cleared by the middle of calendar year 2021.

FISH PERFORMANCE
Fish performance continues to be a key focus for the business
•New Aquaculture General Manager, Grant Lovell (20 years King Salmon experience), is combining the best of prior production models.
•Harvest volumes increased to 4,150 MT, 11% higher than 1H20.
•Harvest rates were intentionally slowed through Q4 FY20 before being accelerated recently to manage summer biomass levels. This led to larger and
older fish and inevitably higher levels of mortality due to fish maturation (estimated at 30% of 1H21 total mortality). In addition these larger and
older fish display poorer levels of feed conversion. Accordingly, the impact of fish performance initiatives has yet to be reflected in these results.
•We continue to adapt our operating model to mitigate the impact of warmer summer waters. Upwelling is being used this summertocirculate
cooler deeper water to our fish especially at low flow sites.
•Biomass at sea is consistent with levels in recent periods.

FUTURE FARMING & HARVEST VOLUMES
17
This slide provides an update on future farming volumes:
Farm relocation (MPI Salmon Relocation Process):
•Adoption of the 2017 Panel recommendation would be unlikely to have any material impact on site capacity however it may result in modest fish
performance improvements.
•A revised proposal from Iwi and NZKS was provided to MPI in June 2019, including use of the proposed site at Mid Waitata.
•Any potential production benefit from relocation would be achieved in calendar year 2024 or beyond due to process timing.
Open Ocean Farming -NZKS has applied for its first open ocean farming consent comprising two farm sites, in the Marlborough region:
•The region has been named “Blue Endeavour” representing a step towards the long term sustainability of the industry.
•The RMA consenting process is underway and hearings are expected for June 2021.
•The earliest possible harvest from the region would be in the middle of the 2024 calendar year.
•Capital costs for the infrastructure associated with Blue Endeavour are estimated at ~$35m with some ability for this spend to be staged. This
investment would be expected to generate an eventual production volume of ~4,000 MT per site per 18 month cycle.
•Blue Endeavour is both a volume and unit value driver.

1H21 HALF YEAR RESULTS
UNDERSTANDING OUR GAAP RESULTS
Our GAAP results are impacted by Fair Value gains or losses arising from the application of NZ IAS-41 Agriculture,
NZ IAS-2 Inventory and the classification of leases under NZ IFRS-16. The impact of these standards are explained below:
Fair Value under NZ IAS-41 Agriculture andNZ IAS-2 Inventory
When we record a change in biomass at sea, or where the expected future profit we realise on fish that we sell changes, thesestandards require
us to quantify and recognise the gain or loss in the current period. This applies to both biomass at sea and inventories of finished products.
Our Statement of Financial Position shows biological assets at their fair value, with 1H21 seeing a reduction in fair value as the value of biomass in the sea
was revalued downwards reflecting COVID driven margin compression especially in offshore sales. Pro Forma Operating Financial Performance removes
gains / losses associated with the application of these standards. The company will present Pro Forma results for future reporting periods on this basis.
NZ IFRS-16Leases
Under NZ IFRS-16 a lessee will no longer make a distinction between finance leases and operating leases; all (material) leases will be treatedas
finance leases.
In the statement of financial position we are therefore required to recognize the asset (or right to use the asset) and the liability for the lease, while in the
statement of profit and loss we recognize the interest cost and the depreciation of the leased asset instead of the operatinglease expenses. The
application of this standard increases EBITDA, assets and liabilities, however this impact is reversed in our Pro Forma results.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The Group has changed its balance date to 31 January following a Board resolution on 2 November 2020.
2.BASIS OF PREPARATION
a.Statement of compliance
b.Basis of measurement
c.Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
d.Covid-19
3.SEASONALITY
The interim financial statements of New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the
Group) for the six months ended 31 December 2020 were authorised by the Directors on 23 February 2021.
Management have applied the same principles and used the same key sources of estimation in the preparation of the interim
financial statements as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2020.
New Zealand King Salmon Investments Limited is a profit-orientated company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The
Company is registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the NZX Main Board ("NZX") and the Australian Securities
Exchange ("ASX"). The Company is an FMC reporting entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The interim consolidated financial statements are for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and have been prepared in
accordance with NZ GAAP.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with
NZ IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements as at 30 June 2020 which were prepared in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS.
The accounting policies adopted in the interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the annual financial
statements as at 30 June 2020.
The interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2020 are unaudited. Comparative information
for the interim consolidated statement of financial position is at 30 June 2020 and is audited. Comparative information for the interim
consolidated statement of comprehensive income, statement of interim consolidated changes in equity and interim consolidated
statement of cash flows is for the comparative six month period and is unaudited.
The Group is principally engaged in the farming, processing and sale of premium salmon products.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand
($000), except when otherwise indicated.
Due to the rapid impact of the pandemic virus Covid-19 impacting significantly on finished stock holdings, the Group estimates the
net realisable value of inventory for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the end of the reporting period and then writes down
the cost of inventories to estimated net realisable value. The estimated net realisable value of the inventory is mainly determined
based on assumptions of future demand within a specific time horizon.
The Group's business is not considered to be highly seasonal. Sales and related costs vary from month to month with overall
variation considered to be immaterial. Mortality rates are typically highest in the January to April period due to higher water
temperatures at that time. This does impact on month to month profitability.

1
Biological transformation fair value is impacted by volume increases (net of mortalities) and fish size at reporting date relative to the target harvest weight of 4 kgs (proportional recognition).
2
Harvested fair value is included under cost of goods sold in the statement of comprehensive income and is calculated by multiplying the current years harvest (biomass) by the prior
years expected gross margin per kg (recognised at 100%).
3
Mortality cost is expensed directly to the statement of comprehensive income in the period which it occurs.
4
Changes in fair value are impacted by movements in margin primarily being changes in sales price and costs to sell (fish cost, harvest, processing and freight to market).
Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of
ordinary shares on issue during the year. Diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of all potential ordinary shares in determining the weighted average number
of ordinary shares on issue.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into one business unit. The operating results of the whole business are monitored for the purpose of making
decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.
Segment performance - Refer also Note 14 for detail of disaggregation of revenue by brand and geographical area.
The cost of inventories recognised as an expense for the period ended 31 December 2020 includes a fair value uplift at point of harvest of $13,445k (31 December
2019: $29,276k).
The Group has three hatcheries in the South Island and nine operational marine salmon farms in the Marlborough Sounds. The fish livestock typically grow for up to 31
months before harvest.
In FY20, the Group reviewed its operating segments and considers that there is only one operating segment. This is based on management’s on going review of the
business and operations and as crystallised by the pandemic Covid-19 virus. The strategy is to focus on branded, premium priced and differentiated sales in all
markets / channels / customers so as to maximise longer term sales and overall margins. The group has executed this strategy during the COVID-19 situation,
resulting in product being deployed to certain other markets, channels and customers.
Prior year comparatives have been restated to respond to the change to a single operating segment.

Fair value measurement
Fair value risk and sensitivity
The Group is exposed to financial risks relating to the production of salmon stock including increasing climate change volatility, climatic events, disease and
contamination of water space.
The estimated unrealised fair value gain from cost at 31 December 2020 decreased from the prior year end estimation due to expected increased costs of working and
selling due to Covid-19 and a change in product mix to incorporate a proportion of lower value frozen product sales. Core sales volumes are expected to return to pre
Covid-19 levels during the first six months of calendar year 2021. Changes in these assumptions will impact the fair value calculation. The realised profit which is
achieved on the sale of inventory will differ from the calculations of fair value of biological assets because of changes in key factors such as the final market
destinations and product mix of inventory sold, changes in price, foreign exchange rates, harvest weight, growth rates, mortality, cost levels and differences in
harvested fish quality.
Leaving all other variables constant a 15% increase/decrease in average future sales prices would have increased/decreased the fair value of biological assets on
hand and profit before tax by $17.4m (30 June 2020: 15% increase / decrease $19.4m) (excludes the impact of finished goods), while a 15.0% increase/decrease in
estimated future harvest volume would increase/decrease the fair value of biological assets on hand and profit before tax by $4.3m (30 June 2020: 15% increase /
decrease $5.8m).
The valuation of biological assets is carried out separately for each site at a brood and strategy level. Estimated actual cost up to the date of harvest per site is used to
measure the expected margin at the time the fish is defined as ready for harvest, being 4.0kg live weight. Selling price is estimated at balance date based on the most
relevant future market price at expected harvest date. The expected gross margin is recognised proportionately based on average biomass at reporting date. Fair
value measurement commences at the date of transfer to sea water as this is considered the point at which the fish commence their grow out cycle.
The Group seeks to produce and market the highest quality salmon products. Extensive monitoring and benchmarking is carried out to provide optimum conditions and
diets to maximise fish performance during the grow out cycle. Sales are maintained in a range of brands, products and markets to maximise returns from the quality
mix of fish harvested. The Group has insurance to cover some of the risks relating to the livestock.
Measurement of fair value is performed using a fair value model. The method of valuation therefore falls into level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the inputs are
unobservable inputs.
A 15% increase/decrease in estimated costs to sell would decrease/increase the fair value of biological assets on hand at balance date and profit before tax by $13.1m
(30 June 2020: 15% increase / decrease $13.6m). Changes in fish health and environmental factors may affect the quality of harvested fish, which may be reflected in
realised profit via both achieved sales price and production costs.

Valuation methods
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date
Level 3: Inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
All derivative financial instruments for which a fair value is recognised have been categorised within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Industry experts have provided
the fair values for all derivatives based on an industry standard model. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period ended 31 December
2020
The carrying value of the BNZ loan drawing of $46M is considered a reasonable approximation of its fair value due to the short term maturities of the drawings. The
Group has the discretion to roll these short term drawings out within facility A ($20m) to 18 Oct 2022 and facility B ($20m) to 18 Oct 2023.
Financial instruments have been categorised into the following hierarchy and valued according to the following definitions, based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from
prices)
The carrying value of cash and short term deposits, trade receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities is considered a reasonable approximation to their fair
value due to the short term maturities of these instruments.

coverage and leverage ratios have been amended and are in place until 30 June 2021, and facility A extended to 18 October 2022. The Company also secured a

The estimated value of share options was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing calculator and is being amortised over the restrictive periods. The option cost is
treated as an employee expense with the corresponding credit included in the share based payment reserve. The inputs into the option pricing valuation model are the
share price of the Group at time of allocation and the compounded risk free interest rate.
Share scheme
The Group has entered into agreements to purchase plant and equipment. As at 31 December 2020 the total commitment is $1,653k (30 June 2020: $2,598k).
The share based payment reserve relates to one long term incentive (LTI) scheme and two employee share ownership schemes. All of these schemes involve the
Company making interest-free limited recourse loans to selected personnel to acquire shares in the Company. The employees must remain in employment for the
duration of the vesting or escrow periods before the employees receive the full benefit of share ownership subsequent to repayment of the loan balance remaining at
time of vesting.
The hedge reserve represents the unrealised gains and losses on interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts that the Group has taken out in order to
mitigate interest rate and foreign currency risks, net of deferred tax.

Group 4
The Group has a contingent liability at 31 December 2020 of $837k in respect of a fish transport contract requiring the Group to purchase three bulk tankers (including
modifications made in 2018 and 2020), should the fish transport contract be terminated early (30 June 2020: $784k).
Ordinary shares are fully paid with no par value. Each ordinary share has an equal right to vote, to participate in dividends, and to share in any surplus on winding up of
the Company. No dividend was declared nor paid during the period ended 31 December 2020 due to impact of the virus Covid-19, (31 December 2019: $0.02 paid on
20 March 2020).
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange difference arising from the translation of the financial statements of the foreign subsidiary.

The Group does not consider it practicable to provide a quantitative or qualitative estimate of the potential impact of Covid-19 outbreak, or any future outbreaks at this
time. The build-up of finished goods inventories follows a strategic decision to temporarily hold inventories until sales markets return to pre Covid-19 levels in up
coming months when inventories will be sold down. The Group continues its farming and processing operations under Level 1, and continues to pursue its strategy of
marketing its branded products across the range of customers, and markets and products. In the event of a Level 4 lockdown the Group anticipates being able to
continue to operate as an essential industry.
Sales net of settlement discounts to two major customers for the period ended 31 December 2020 accounted for $19,951k or 24% of total gross revenue, (31
December 2019 one major customer accounted for $9,619k or 11% of total gross revenue).
No interim dividend was declared in respect of the 6 months ended 31 December 2020, (31 December 2019: a fully imputed interim dividend of 2 cents was approved
on 26 February 2020 and paid 20 March 2020).
