Turners delivers record earnings for FY21
Turners Automotive Group (NZX: TRA) has reported record earnings for the financial year to March
31, 2021 (FY21), despite a COVID-19 disrupted year, effectively reducing the year to a 10-month
trading period due to lockdowns.
Key highlights:
NPBT $37.4m +29%
NPAT $26.9m +28%
Underlying NPBT $34.3m +19%
Revenue $296.5m -11%
Final FY21 dividend declared at 6.0 cps bringing FY21 dividend to 20.0 cps (equating to a gross
yield of 7.4% per annum based on a share price of $3.75)
Earnings per share 31.4cps +29%
Used car market proved resilient, rebounding strongly for `high trust’ Turners brand
Robust annuity earnings from Finance and Insurance validates diversified business model
Organic capital spend to be focused on digital investment, new auto retail sites and growth in
finance business
FY22 should see a further improvement in NPBT over FY21
Further highlights and discussion on growth are included in the FY22 Results
Presentation released with this announcement
Although a disrupted operating period saw FY21 revenue down 11% to $296.5m, a strong response from
the business, including acceleration of its digital strategy and rigorous cost management saw three of
the four segments lift profit strongly. Only Credit was down on last year’s result with a number of our
corporate and bank customers reluctant to pursue debt aggressively over the Covid-19 period.
Demonstrating the benefits of the Group’s diversified annuity businesses, profit rose 50% in Insurance,
30% in Finance and 11% in Automotive Retail, contributing to strong and sustainable yield. Profit in the
Credit Management business was down 22%.
Todd Hunter, CEO, said: “Our team has responded incredibly well to the pandemic in the first half of the
year. Their high levels of engagement combined with the diversified nature of the business, ensured we
were well positioned as we moved out of the lockdown. As a group, we have continued to build quality
customer experiences, improving the quality of the work environment for our people, which will deliver
quality returns for our shareholders. Our growth plans are working and the exciting thing is there is more
to come.”
Financial results
Reported NPBT increased 29% to $37.4m with net profit after tax (NPAT) of $26.9m, up 28% on the same
period last year. Underlying NPBT was up 19% to $34.3m, with a reconciliation of reported and
underlying numbers available on slide 10 of the investor presentation, also released today.
Earnings per share for FY21 were 31.4 cps, up 29% on the previous year. A further 6.0 cps dividend has
been declared for the final payment of FY21 (payable in July), taking FY21 dividends to 20.0 cps. This
reflects the dividend policy to payout 60-70% of net profit after tax (NPAT).

Grant Baker, Chairman, said: “We remain committed to delivering a strong and sustainable yield to
shareholders. Initiatives worked on over the last 2-3 years are really starting to come together and most
importantly are delivering results, even during the disrupted period of 2020. Our company is in a real
position of strength and we feel very confident in our growth plans. Margin expansion and market share
gains are helping deliver the bottom line growth that we knew was possible. Our team right across the
wider business has done a fantastic job of managing the business and supporting our customers through
the pandemic. Our business has never been in better shape, and the mix of diversified earnings is
delivering the consistent growth plus yield that shareholders are looking for. ”
The results to 31 March 2021 have been audited by Baker Tilly Staples Rodway, who expect to give an
unmodified opinion on the financial statements.
Results by division
Auto Retail, Finance and Insurance divisions have all delivered significantly improved earnings. Only
Credit Management has had an earnings decrease year on year because of the reduced debt load during
the last 12 months as many of the large banks stopped collection actions due to the reputational risk
during Covid-19.
Auto Retail: Revenue $201.0m – 11%, NPBT $15.4m +11%
The Auto Retail division revenue was 11% lower at $201.0m, reflecting fewer units, an impact of the
national and regional lockdowns. Volumes have recovered in the second half of the year and improving
margins have been a significant driver of profitability. Margin expansion is due to a number of buying
initiatives and a result of tight supply of cars nationally, due to supply constraints for new cars. Reducing
the cost base was a key priority out of lockdown. The used car market has demonstrated resilience, not
just rebounding after lockdowns, but through the economic cycle.
Finance: Revenue $47.9m +5%, NPBT $15.8m +30%
The Finance division is now a significant contributor to group earnings and has gone from strength to
strength over the last 12 months, with the highest segmental NPBT. Revenue for FY21 was $47.9m, up
5% on last year. NPBT was $15.8m up 30% of the year prior, continuing to gain market share in the high-
quality borrower segment of customers, providing more than 45% of the new loans written each month
in the premium risk tier. Targeting high-quality borrowers means arrears are at record low levels with
Consumer arrears at 4.2% and Commercial arrears at 1.8%. Finance has retained a Covid-19 arrears
provision buffer to allow for any unemployment increase in future months.
Insurance: Revenue $41.9m -5%, NPBT $9.4m +50%
Insurance revenue decreased 5% to $41.9m due to the impact of national and regional lockdowns. Gross
Written Premium (GWP) increased for the year due to a number of key competitive wins and risk pricing
adjustments and despite the lockdowns was 2% ahead of FY20. NPBT was up 50% to $9.4m on higher
margins, reduced claims, lower overhead costs, and the finish of amortising the acquired premium
portfolio as part of the Autosure acquisition from Vero in 2017. Progress on building our distribution
over the year included two sizeable system integration projects completed with Marac Finance and MTF
Finance. Combined claims ratios improved from 69% in FY20 to 60% in FY21.

Credit Management: Revenue $12.8m -29%, NPBT $5.1m -22%
Credit Management revenue decreased 29% to $12.8m, due to the impact of Covid-19 and the market-
wide conservatism with respect to debt collection during the first phase of the pandemic. Many large
corporate customers only recently once again began initiating collection actions. Despite revenue being
down 29%, NPBT was only down 22% to $5.1m. The division is working closely with referrers to manage
and improve customer outcomes as we operate in an environment where bad debts are likely to increase
and debt collection services will see increasing demand. We have now seen lenders who were prioritising
reputation over collections, reinitiate debt load and collections work. A similar pattern was experienced
post the GFC, before a busy collection period began.
A strong focus on organic growth
Our growth plan has developed over the last 24 months and there is real confidence in this plan to
continue delivering growth over the next 3 years. We have outlined our growth model in the FY22
Results Presentation including outlining our thinking on the roadmap to a $5 share price (see Slide 30
to 35). Investors may also be interested in the more comprehensive detail contained in our recent
Investor Morning (click for link), which was well attended by various institutional investors.
Four key areas will underpin our earnings growth. These will be a combination of both physical and digital
investments.
1. Retail Optimisation across people, property and process. Expanding the physical branch
network with two new sites already acquired in Rotorua and Nelson;
2. Vehicle purchasing decision-making using data and tools to help identify new sourcing
opportunities and ensure our vehicle buyers are maximising opportunities;
3. Growing premium lending within Finance; and
4. Continued investment in digital and improving our omni-channel customer experience which
allows customers to engage with us however, whenever and wherever they want.
Outlook and Guidance
April and early May 2021 have seen a continuation of the positive momentum Turners has enjoyed over
the past 10 months. Our April 2021, financial results are materially ahead of a more comparative period
of April 2019 (non Covid-impacted).
In Automotive Retail, we are expecting the supply-constrained market to continue for 12-18 months due
primarily to impacts on the new car supply chain. New lending in the finance business will be strong and
our expectation is that arrears will continue to improve, as the weighting towards newly introduced
premium loans grows as a percentage of the book. In Insurance, we expect new policy sales to be
buoyant and claims ratios to stabilise. Lastly, in Credit Management, debt recovery is returning as
corporate customers start to get back to business as usual. Shareholders should expect to see a further
improved result in FY22 and accordingly a corresponding increase in FY22 dividends. Turners will update
more specific FY22 guidance over coming months.

The model gives us confidence in higher earnings growth through the cycle.
We have found the right formula, and will optimise further ...
Four key areas underpin our earnings growth. These are a combination of both physical and digital:

Capital Allocation: high level thinking
•Clear messagefrom market that shareholders want yield + growth supported from existing capital base
•Organic growth to be funded via retained earnings and improving capital efficiency
•Maintain dividend policy of 60% to 70% NPAT
•Capital allocation broadly prioritised as follows:
•Auto Retail businesses –footprint expansion can be funded largely through debt (lease premises and
floorplan finance for inventory), some capital investment required for fit-out of retail sites
•Property –de-risks the auto business through control of strategic sites and cost base plus provides
opportunity for long term capital growth.
•Oxford Finance –growth requires capital alongside debt to grow receivables ledger and profits
•Digital initiativesacross the Group largely assumed to be opex, supported by some capital to be
allocated to support growth and future proofing

•Business is highly cash generative, leading to growth + yield
for shareholders
•Profit growth largely driven out of Auto Retail and Finance
•Retail optimisation in Auto Retail –growth driven by
combination of new sites and growth in existing sites
•Margin expansion in Auto Retail out of supply side
