Comvita (NZX:CVT) today announced record earnings (operating profit and EBITDA) for the six-month

period ending 31 December 2021. Operating profit increased by 39.4% to $7.2m and EBITDA improved to

$12.1m vs $10.6m, +14.1% vs PCP as its 2025 FOCUS strategy continued to deliver earnings improvement.

Net profit after tax (NPAT) increased by 1% due to the high effective tax rate of 40.5% in this period, caused

by non-deductible expenses including M&A costs (full year effective tax rate is expected to normalise). Net

profit before tax increased by 32.8% vs PCP. Net debt increased by $12.4m on last year and $21.7m since

30 June 21, primarily due to increasing inventory to offset global supply chain disruption. The Directors

were pleased to declare a fully imputed interim dividend of 2.5% cps.


Good revenue growth despite material negative Covid impacts

Revenue increased by 6.1% to $104.9m, in reported currency and 6.5% in constant currency despite

material negative Covid impacts (offline direct sales were down 7%). Comvita was delighted to report

strong double-digit top and bottom-line growth and market share growth in its focus growth markets of

China and North America (the number one and two honey markets in the world) with its long term brand


Page 2 of 5

investment model delivering in these crucial markets. Performance in its core Mānuka honey category was

again strong with double digit revenue and profit growth vs PCP.


Long term investment in brand building continues

In line with its 60:15:20 2025 business plan Comvita increased marketing investment by an additional $2.3m

or 20.9% to be 12.7% of revenue. Comvita’s marketing investment is part of its transformation plan and

positioning Comvita as a premium lifestyle consumer brand. During this period Comvita launched a world

first collaboration with Microsoft utilising their HoloLens mixed reality to bring the magic of the hive to

consumers at the World Expo held in Dubai, as part of Comvita’s sponsorship of the Expo. In addition, they

launched multiple brand partnerships with other leading brands driving mutual association equity and

consumer affinity.


Comvita commits to far reaching ESG goals

Comvita has set out its long term aim to be recognised as a global leader in ESG related performance

including becoming carbon neutral by 2025 and net positive by 2030. Its published Harmony plan sets out

its commitment on climate action, social impact, bee welfare and supporting biodiversity. Comvita

continued to invest in ESG related activity in line with its purpose and confirmed its commitment to

produce Science Based Targets for long term greenhouse gas reduction.


Digitisation continues at pace

Direct to Consumer Sales through Comvita’s owned sites (D2C) increased by 12% vs PCP, at accretive gross

margins as this long-term strategy saw positive early signs. In addition, Comvita Invested heavily in

transforming its online platform to further enhance the consumer experience. Comvita’s new web platform

with enhanced functionality will launch in Q3 FY22. Comvita’s 2025 aspiration is for digital sales to be 50%

(currently 33%) of total revenue at accretive gross margins. During this period as a key part of its digital

transformation Comvita increased email registrations by 50% vs PCP and concentrated efforts on a

frictionless and enhanced consumer focus in its Direct to Consumer (D2C) channels.


Commenting on the performance, Comvita Chairman, Brett Hewlett, said “We are delighted to announce

record first half earnings at Comvita against a very strong PCP and despite continuing material Covid

related headwinds. Our FOCUS business model, control of costs, investment in brand and excellent

execution from a highly capable team, gives us confidence that we are on track to deliver guidance in FY22

and more importantly on track to deliver our 2025 plan. The Board and management have continued to

transform the business at pace, looking to ensure we deliver the performance that all Comvita stakeholders

should expect. The result shared today gives more evidence that we can deliver revenue, margin and

earnings growth while investing in long term brand and business building activity. Your Board are pleased

to declare a fully imputed dividend of 2.5 cps in this interim period, highlighting our confidence in the

momentum we see within the business.“


Group CEO, David Banfield, says “This is another important step in delivering on our transformative plan at

Comvita and setting us up for success for the long term. We see real momentum in our performance and

are delighted to be able to report good revenue growth and record first half earnings despite Covid

headwinds. Our performance has been underpinned by material improvement in gross margin, double

digit growth in our focus growth markets of China and North America, double digit growth in Mānuka honey

and in our D2C channels. I am extremely proud of the way the team have responded and want to recognise

the significant effort and commitment that has gone in to deliver the results that we share today. There are

many additional elements going on behind the scenes to set us up for the long term, however, for now we

return to focus on H2 delivery and FY23 planning.”

Focus growth markets performing strongly

Comvita’s focus growth markets, China and North America, again showed strong performance in this

period with both markets delivering double digit top and bottom-line growth and market share growth.


China is the world’s biggest honey market valued at $1.8b, Comvita’s long term goal is to target market

growth (growing the total addressable market) and market share growth. Revenue in China grew by 13%

and net contribution by 40% versus PCP as Comvita delivered market share growth and enhanced its

brand reputation with some high profile in-market partnerships. Comvita are pleased to have signed two

new partnership agreements in H1 that will start to deliver in H2. Investment into the brand continued

positioning Comvita as a premium lifestyle brand with investment increased by 8% vs PCP.


Comvita North America posted another strong result with revenue increased by 48% and net contribution

by 75% (although there was a delay in timing of some marketing activities to H2 with only 40% of brand

Investment in H1). Comvita is the fastest growing Mānuka honey brand in North America and is achieving

market share growth in a category where the fundamentals are strong and significant opportunity exists to

grow extensively in the world’s second biggest honey market.


Unique business model continues to differentiate Comvita

Comvita has a unique ‘End to End’ business model with around 350 people employed in markets outside

of New Zealand. This ensures that Comvita is better connected to customers and consumers in market and

can adapt at speed to meet local market changes and needs. This model also enables the business to

continue to perform strongly even with travel and tourism being so restricted. Comvita have started to

further transform their approach to digital sales within this model to ensure continued focus on the role

and performance of marketplace relative to a more intimate direct to consumer channel.


Australia and New Zealand sales flat as market shows underlying growth

Comvita are pleased to report that revenue in Australia and New Zealand was flat year on year, with

improved demand experience month on month since July giving confidence that Comvita can return to

top line growth in H2. While net contribution declined versus PCP this was entirely due to brand investment

in line with Comvita’s plan to win at home. New Asian Health model is showing encouraging signs despite

Covid disruption and is forecast to further amplify brand investment in mainland China.


Transformation on track

Comvita has made good progress on its 2025 focus strategic plan (60.15.20) evidenced by the 760bps

improvement in its GP to 56.6% (+$10.9m vs PCP) enabling the $2.3m increase in marketing (now

representing 12.7% of revenue vs 11.1% PCP). This transformation and simplification activity has resulted

in a further 35% reduction in SKU count on top of the 30% that was delivered in 2021.


Net debt, inventory, and cash

Given ongoing disruption to global supply chains Comvita decided to increase inventory during this period

which has had a corresponding negative impact on net debt. This is only a temporary change and Comvita

stands by its view that optimum inventory levels would be circa $85m by 2025. In addition Comvita Invested

$5m in its new JV with Caravan in the US which is designed to support its long term ambition in topical use

of Mānuka honey and propolis and to add to its long term incremental growth agenda.




Page 4 of 5

Opex includes investment in due diligence activity

During this period Comvita carried out DD on a potential scale transaction that was not completed at this

time. Comvita believes that with the ongoing strength in its core business model and the cash generative

nature of its 2025 business plan, it’s in an ideal position to lead consolidation of the demand side of the

Mānuka honey industry and in return increase quality of products for all consumers, improving satisfaction

and de-risking the category.


Internal digital transformation

Up until now digital transformation has been focused on consumer facing technology. Phase two (internal

digital transformation) will kick off in H2 to ensure scalable and automated internal processes. Comvita

believe that this will further improve profitability, reduce risk and future proof the business. The final

leadership team appointment of a new Chief Technology Officer has now been made and is designed to

significantly enhance capability in this area.


Full year guidance maintained, interim dividend declared

Comvita maintained full year guidance of an EBITDA range of NZD $27-$30m for the period ending 30 June

2022. Comvita announced a fully imputed interim dividend of 2.5 cps reflecting confidence in its ability to

deliver to its guidance despite ongoing Covid disruptions.


Looking forward – premium FMCG ESG brand

Comvita’s 2025 plan is designed to deliver a business model that achieves a GP of at least 60%, delivers

long term investment in its brand by investing 15% in Brand building activity and deliver a 20% EBITDA

margin. This model, underpinned by its aim to be carbon neutral by 2025 and a global leader in ESG is

designed to set Comvita up for long term profitable growth. It’s underpinned by its focus on continued

delivery of its three-part plan to;

1: Stabilise performance

2: Transform the organisation

3: Build long term resilience and growth


“This record operating profit growth of 39.4% marks the fourth consecutive reporting period since I joined

where we have reported earnings growth in line with Guidance and as importantly reaffirmed our strong

belief that we are well positioned to deliver our 2025 plan. By sharing our 2025 goals we hope that all

stakeholders are able to see that we are on track and that our investment is very much focused on long-

term thinking and acting. We remain committed to pay back the support shown by the Board, the extended

Comvita whānau and all our stakeholders.” concludes Banfield.

Comvita Condensed Interim Financial Statements 2022 - P8Comvita Condensed Interim Financial Statements 2022 - P9
1. REPORTING ENTITY

Comvita Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New

Zealand and registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed

on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”). The Company is an

issuer in terms of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The condensed interim financial statements of the Group for the

six months ended 31 December 2021 comprise the Company and its

subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s

interest in equity accounted investees.

The principal activity of the Group is that of manufacturing and

marketing quality natural health products, apiary ownership and

management.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

(a) Statement of compliance

The Company is a FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the

Financial Reporting Act 2013 and under Part 7 of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013. These Financial Statements comply

with these Acts and have been prepared in accordance with the

New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards as appropriate for profit-oriented entities.

The condensed interim financial statements do not include all of

the information required for full annual financial statements and

should be read in conjunction with the group financial statements

as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The condensed interim financial statements were approved by the

Board of Directors on 23 February 2022.

(b) Basis of measurement

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical

cost basis except for derivative financial instruments, financial

instruments designated as fair value through other comprehensive

income, biological assets and leases which are measured at fair

value. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/

or disclosure purposes on the same basis as those applied by the

Group in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 30

June 2021.

(c) Functional and presentation currency

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars

($), which is the Company’s functional currency. Amounts have

been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(d) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of condensed interim financial statements in

accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requires

management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions

that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results

may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed interim financial statements, the

significant judgements made by management in applying the

Groups accounting policies and the key sources of estimation

uncertainty were the same as those applied to the financial

statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021.





(e) Covid-19 considerations

Covid-19 considerations Comvita is classified as an ‘Essential’

business by the New Zealand Government, therefore having no

impact on the manufacturing process of the Group. For the period

ended 31 December 2021 the Group has not been significantly

impacted by COVID-19. There has been a strong demand in sales,

in particular in online channels across all markets. An assessment

over the carrying value of assets and liabilities has been performed

and the Group has recognised provisions where necessary relating

to the impact of COVID-19. The Group continues to operate as a

going concern and Senior Management continue to closely monitor

the situation.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING

POLICIES

The accounting policies applied in these condensed interim financial

statements are the same as those applied in the Group’s financial

statements as at and for the year ended 30 June 2021.

4. SEGMENT REPORTING

A review of operating segments has been completed in the current

year and this has resulted in a change to reported segments.

Previously reported segment information has been restated in line

with the operating segments described below.

Segment information is presented in the condensed interim

financial statements in respect of the Group’s contribution

segments which are the primary basis of decision making. The

contribution segment reporting format reflects the Group’s

management and internal reporting structure.

Performance is measured based on contribution which is a

measure of profitability that the segment contributes to

the Group. Contribution is used to measure performance as

management believes that such information is most relevant in

evaluating the results of certain segments. Inter-segment pricing is

as they include 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). There have been no transfers between levels in either direction during the period.

(2,541)-(1,648)

Derivative – assets and liabilities (hedged) and designated at fair value through the income statement.

The Group’s Level 2 fair values for simple over-the-counter derivative financial instruments are based on broker quotes. Those quotes

are tested for reasonableness by discounting expected future cash flows using market interest rate for a similar instrument at the

measurement date. Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the

Group entity and counterparty when appropriate.

Fair values

The fair value of all financial assets and liabilities is the same as the carrying amount.
