Favourable Market Dynamics
New Zealand is an attractive automotive market. New Zealanders own roughly 0.7 light passenger
motor vehicles per person, which is amongst the highest levels of private vehicle ownership globally
1
.
Increased Migration: Strong migration has historically been a driver of light vehicle fleet growth in New Zealand, and the attractiveness of the country in the
global context should continue to support interest in inbound immigration.
Contracting number of dealers: The number of vehicle dealerships in New Zealand has declined over the last two years, from 3,435 in November 2018 to 3,094
in October 2020
3
. NZAI believes this trend will result in a lower level of competition and a stronger competitive position for NZAI.
Shift towards electric vehicles: NZIA is not beholden to a single manufacturer and is therefore indifferent to the increase in consumer interest in electric
vehicles. This consumer preference shift may in fact benefit NZAI by increasing the rate at which people want to replace their c ars.
Increased Health Concern: Covid-19 concerns may drive consumers to favour private vehicles over public transport, supporting higher levels of car ownership
and demand over the medium-term.

Growth-Orientated Automotive Platform
NZAI is positioned to build a diversified Automotive Group, leveraging off its Automotive Retail
division to build a profitable finance book.
Improve digital
offering
Grow NZMF’s loan book by offering
Automotive retail customers finance
from NZMF (historically provided
through a range of third party finance
companies).
Improve digital offering by upgrading
the Company’s digital platform so
customers can purchase and pay for
vehicles directly online.
Vertical integration
with Finance
The close relationship between the divisions means that the NZAI finance business has a clear operating cost advantage over independent finance companies of
equivalent size. The risk and cost of acquiring sufficient business to grow the finance book is also minimiseddue to the ability of NZAI to cross-sell to its retail
customer base.
Page 10| Investor Presentation | NZ Automotive Investments Limited
Digital First Customer Experience
NZAI was an early adopter of social media and digital advertising, an approach which caters to its
target market of everyday New Zealanders.
Digital First approach: Early adopter of social media and digital advertising, which caters to its target market
of 20 –45-year-olds.
The customer can arrive at its dealerships ready to purchase a car that they have already viewed and agreed to
a price online:
•Reducing the time salespeople spend with each customer;
•Increasing inventory turnover; and
•Minimisingthe need for a large dealership footprint in high profile locations. This allows 2CC’s
dealerships to be based largely in industrial locations with lower lease costs.
Brand Building and Recognition: The adopted marketing strategy has enabled 2CC to build a brand identity
with over 130,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram. The Company runs a range of promotional activities
over its social media platforms, which are managed by its internal marketing team.
Aging Customer Base: As these consumers age over time and continue through multiple vehicle life cycles,
their brand affinity with 2CC provides a customer base for used car purchases and cross-selling of ancillary
products.

NZX Listing Considerations
NZAI has elected a direct listing on the NZX for several reasons.
Provide access to capital to help fund its recently established Vehicle Finance division.
Support the growth of the Company’s digital platform model, building market intelligence and
thus improving our understanding of the New Zealand driver demographics.
Permit Eugene Williams and David Sena to achieve some liquidity after building the business to
its current scale over nearly 10 years of operation.
Position the Company to consolidate key geographic markets throughout New Zealand where it
does not have a physical presence.
Increase the profile of NZAI, both domestically and internationally.
