Name of Listed Issuer: SANFORD LIMITED (SAN)
INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS for the 6 months ended 31 March 2022
Sanford Interim Results Boosted by International Post-Covid Recovery
Sanford Limited (NZX: SAN) has reported a solid recovery in the first half of its 2022 financial
year, with Adjusted (underlying) Earnings Before Interest and Tax (Adjusted EBIT) of $19.2
million for the six months to 31 March. This represents a 79.4% increase on Adjusted EBIT
from the same period last year ($10.7 million). Total revenue was $270.9 million for the
period, a 16.0% increase on the same period in 2021 ($233.5 million).
Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period was $6.1 million, 55.5% behind last year’s
interim result of $13.8 million
1
which included a one-off gain of $13.4 million from the sale of
non-core property.
Sanford is New Zealand’s largest and oldest seafood company and has a diverse range of
interests across fishing and aquaculture.
Key highlights from the first half of the 2022 financial year include:
• The profit contribution from Sanford’s wildcatch division is up 108.4% versus the prior
comparable period, driven by a significant lift in global demand for whitefish
• Maintenance of salmon profitability through increasing revenues by 35.9% to
compensate for additional cost in feed, freight and some increased investment to
minimise a minor increase in mortality due to warmer water temperatures
• Sanford’s balance sheet is strong, with net debt at $175.6 million and around $90
million in headroom with current banking facilities
• Significantly improved operating cashflows of $35.8 million versus $4.5 million for the
same period last year
CEO Peter Reidie says the result is pleasing, although challenges continue on the domestic
front.
“The uplift in EBIT and revenue is satisfying and we are pleased we have been in a good
position to take advantage of the post-Covid recovery in many of our international markets.
Now the challenges we face have shifted from demand to supply, with Covid-19 continuing to

Interim Report.
make its presence felt in New Zealand. This is impacting our operations, particularly in
processing where reduced staff availability has impacted productivity and increased costs.
“The good news is that our plans to minimise the impact on fishing, farming and production are
paying off. We have a 100% vaccinated workforce and we are using Rapid Antigen Testing at
the majority of sites, including before entry to our vessels.”
Divisional Highlights
Wildcatch Performs Strongly
Sanford’s wildcatch division has performed well and demand is strong in this seafood category.
Sales volumes however have been depressed by supply availability, with the squid season
starting somewhat later than usual.
Improved margins for species such as hoki, scampi and toothfish have driven a lift in
profitability for this division.
Looking forward, Sanford anticipates continuing, short term Covid-19 impacts on crewing and
processing which it is managing thorough testing, staff attentiveness and policies and
procedures.
Mussels Stable, Labour Shortage Impacts Processing
Sanford’s mussel division is seeing strong signs of demand recovery and its profit contribution
was stable compared to the first half of 2021, but improvement is hampered by a processing
bottleneck caused by domestic labour shortages.
Mr Reidie says “we face serious production constraints in both our Havelock processing facility
and in our joint venture operations with North Island Mussels Limited in Tauranga, despite
sustained attempts to recruit more workers to these areas. There simply aren’t enough work-
ready New Zealanders available to fill all the positions we have.”
Salmon Solid, Risks Well Managed
The profit contribution from salmon was flat versus the prior comparable period, but revenue
was up 35.9% with strong demand internationally.
CEO Peter Reidie says “we are fortunate to farm our prized salmon in Stewart Island waters,
where risks from warmer temperatures are reduced and are also being well managed by our
farming team. Reduced stocking densities alongside aeration and oxygenation technologies
have shown their value during the last six months, keeping seasonal mortalities across all fish
at 3.5% from January to March.”
People, Supply Chain and Outlook
Sanford has recorded stable personnel engagement rates in its recent survey of 7.5/10, which
Mr Reidie describes as pleasing. “Our people have had to work very hard over the last two
years, responding to the Covid pandemic and we are pleased they are generally in good spirits,
despite the challenges.”
The company reports few current concerns about supply chain impacts, thanks in large part to
its relationship with supply chain collaboration group Kotahi.
Mr Reidie says “our overall outlook is positive as we expect strong demand improvements to
continue. The limiting factors for us now are working our way through the domestic impacts of
Covid-19 and addressing staff shortages in key areas such as mussel processing.”
Given the early stage of its recovery, Sanford’s Board has determined it will not be paying an
interim dividend. It remains focused on returning to normalised dividend payments as soon as
it is financially prudent to do so. The Board is committed to taking a step towards this with a
modest final dividend payment at the end of this financial year.

Non-GAAP Profit measures
Sanford’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is net
profit. Sanford have used non-GAAP measures when discussing financial
performance in this document. The Directors and management believe that
these measures provide useful information as they are used internally to
evaluate divisional and total Group performance and to establish operating
and capital budgets. Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in
accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP
profit measures included in this report are not comparable with those used
by other companies. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a
substitute for GAAP profit measures as reported by Sanford in accordance
with NZ IFRS

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT
2022
Welcome to Sanford’s 2022 Interim
Report, which lays out our results to
31st March, 2022. In the six months
covered here, we have seen evidence
of a global demand recovery, as food
service re-bounds from the impacts of
Covid-19. Through these six months,
we have leveraged this recovery to
focus on the priorities we previously
laid out for 2022:
• Rebuild mussel profitability
• Grow developing opportunities
in wildcatch
• Retain salmon profitability and
prepare for future growth
Our challenges over this period have
moved from demand for seafood, to
challenges of supply. This explains the
overall picture you will see laid out in the
following pages, of increased revenue and
higher margins, alongside lower volumes.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and
Tax (Adjusted EBIT) was $19.2 million,
representing a 79.4% increase on the same
period last year ($10.7 million).
Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the first
half is $6.1 million. This would be an
improvement on NPAT for the prior
comparable period, except that in 2021’s
first half NPAT was $13.8 million due to a
gain on sale of $13.4 million, from the sale
of our cold store facility in Tauranga.
Revenue has increased by 16.0% from
$233.5 million in the first half of 2021
to $270.9 in 2022, due to stronger pricing.
We are seeing this increased pricing in
the majority of our product categories,
particularly in some of our whitefish
species. Details of this can be found in
the section on wildcatch in this Review.
Naturally we have a limited accessible
resource in our wildcatch division, as
our share of New Zealand’s Quota
Management System remains fixed
and caps our ability to grow volumes.
Greenshell mussel volume growth has
also been impacted by the serious
labour shortage being experienced by
New Zealand’s primary industries. We
can only harvest what we can process and
the shortage of local labour coupled with
few available workers on working holiday
visas has meant we have been unable to
expand our processing capacity to meet
the increased demand.

by Covid-induced closures to foodservice

20,000 restaurants globally (mostly in
North America, Europe and Australia),
showed that numbers of seated diners in
food service restaurants dropped 100%
compared to pre-pandemic levels from
March through to May of 2020. In March
2021, numbers hovered around 40% below
pre-pandemic levels.
This year, we have seen the return of out of
home dining in the key markets surveyed.
Diner numbers for March 2022 have sat at
or above comparable pre-pandemic levels
in 2019. With around 70% of seafood
consumed out of home, this is good news
for our industry and for Sanford.
Our overall sales volumes were 48.6k
greenweight tonne (GWT) for the first half
of our 2022 year, down by 11.3% on the
prior comparable period (54.9k GWT)
where we were clearing frozen inventory,
which had built up due to covid demand
impacts. It is worth noting that last year
we were maintaining sales volumes by
clearing frozen product. That is no longer
the case, and our sales volumes in the first
half of 2022 are a more direct reflection
of what we are harvesting, rather than
selling down inventory.
Given the early stage of our recovery, the
Board has determined not to pay an
interim dividend. It remains focused on
returning to normal dividend payments as
soon as it is financially prudent to do so.
We are committed to taking a step towards
this with a modest final dividend payment
at the end of this financial year.

Sales volumes for our wildcatch division at
29.3k GWT were lower than the previous
comparable period in 2021 (36.7k GWT). The
profit contribution from this division was
strong (up 108.4% on the prior comparable
period). This was due to improved pricing,
driven by a significant lift in global demand
for whitefish. Sales volumes for deepwater
species such as squid and orange roughy
were depressed somewhat, due partly to
a slightly later than usual start to the squid
season which we are not expecting to
catch up, but also some unexpected vessel
outages. The strong margins were
particularly evident in scampi, toothfish
and hoki.
In the last two weeks of March, we did see
some disruption from Covid related impacts
on crew numbers, which meant we were
not able to operate our deepwater fleet at
full capacity. This has been well managed
by the team in Timaru who have been adept
at sourcing crew at short notice and
minimising disruptions to fishing schedules.

FISHING METHODS
Despite the excellence of our product,
our real and ongoing commitments to
sustainability and the importance of our
industry to New Zealand, commercial
fishing’s reputation is often under attack.
Certain groups have fixated on criticism of
fishing, using exaggeration or distortion to
paint a picture of the industry which simply
does not match the reality of the one we
work in every day. An area where this is
particularly acute is trawling. The vast
majority of our seafood in New Zealand is
caught this way – Ministry for Primary
Industries (MPI) figures show that around
80% of New Zealand’s commercial catch is
caught by a trawl method.
The proportion of catch may be large,
but the areas where trawling happens
are small. New Zealand commercial fishers
trawl in less than five percent of our
territorial waters. A huge proportion
(thirty percent) of our territorial seas
are locked up in benthic protection
areas where bottom trawling is excluded.
This is something Sanford supports.
Our vessels habitually return to the
same, well established fishing grounds
because that is where the fish are.
Typically, these grounds are over a
mud or sand bottom. Venturing outside
our usual spots can result in the snagging
of fishing gear, an expensive and time-
consuming mistake which no fisher would
seek to make.
In our view, the argument about trawling
needs to mature and take a step forward
to focus on location rather than fishing
method. We support working with all
interested parties to make decisions about
where to allow fishing and what areas to
set aside for conservation, as long as these
decisions are guided by science. Ensuring
fishing happens in the right places is
something that is much easier with
today’s technology, including the recent
developments in electronic geo-fencing
which help ensure our vessels go only
where they should. Mistakes can happen,
but we seek, and are making, continuous
improvements in our fishing, something
which is not acknowledged by critics
whose minds are often still on the
pre-Quota Management System failures
of four decades ago.

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT
2022
Our Greenshell mussel division was the last
to be hit by Covid-related market impacts
and has been the last to recover. This is
partly because of the nature of our supply
contracts for this product, where prices
are locked in for defined durations.
Our mussels are mostly sold frozen to food
service venues in the US and Asia and
these areas are now benefiting from the
return to out of home dining. As a result,
we are seeing an improvement in pricing
and our outlook for mussel demand is
positive. The challenge we face is on the
supply side with an increase in freight
costs and with labour shortages in
New Zealand impacting our ability to
process our mussel products. Our
Havelock and NIML plants are currently
understaffed and our best efforts to
attract new talent have not yielded
significant results. We, like most primary
production businesses, are finding there
are simply not enough work-ready
New Zealanders available to fill the roles
we have and competition for labour is
intense. This is a nationwide issue but is
one that is particularly acute in the
regional areas where Sanford’s operations
are based.
We are seeking to address this challenge
as best we can with a number of initiatives,
including increasing the competitiveness
of our employment terms. However, we
do not see any immediate relief from
the current situation while current
immigration settings remain in place.
We are pleased to report that
construction work on our Marine Extracts
Centre is well underway. This site will allow
us to double our mussel powder output,
going from the current two dryers to four.
We already have the demand to absorb this
increased production and the new site will
have the space to allow us to eventually
house eight dryers. With building
progressing rapidly, we are confident we
will have this facility open and producing
mussel powder from four dryers by the
end of the 2022 calendar year.

Our salmon division has seen continued
volume and revenue growth in the first
six months of our 2022 year. Sales volumes
were up at 2.9k GWT (versus 2.5k GWT
for the prior comparable period), as was
revenue for this area. However, salmon’s
profit contribution was only marginally
higher than the prior comparable period,
partly due to increased costs associated
with managing the risks from warmer
waters, increased feed costs and covid
impacts on production and staffing levels.
Readers of this report will have likely
encountered recent publicity about
elevated water temperatures in the
Marlborough Sounds, aggravating
mortality levels for farmed salmon.
Our farm is in the waters of Stewart Island,
seven degrees of latitude south of the
Sounds. We are grateful to be there,
in the cooler southern waters, surrounded
by a national park.
That is not to say we are immune
from climate change impacts. Water
temperatures were unusually high in
January 2022, spiking earlier than we would
normally see, but have returned to average
levels in subsequent months. This initiated
an earlier rise in summer fish mortalities.
These were slower to reduce than we would
normally observe, however remained small,
at around 3.5% of all fish stock from
January to March and were well managed
by our Stewart Island team, who have made
several changes to the farm to minimise
temperature impacts, such as reducing
stocking densities and introducing
oxygenation and aeration measures.
Demand for our salmon remains high,
both domestically, where it is available
through Foodstuffs’ North Island
supermarkets, and internationally.

regulator to expand this number.
This is a challenging time to be in
commercial fishing when there are
considerable forces ranged against our
profession. We seek to communicate
with all stakeholders, to dispel
misinformation and always make
sustainable choices in our business.
We intend to lead by example.
SANFORD PEOPLE
– COVID’S DOMESTIC IMPACT
While we have clearly seen the recovery
in international markets, Covid-19
made its presence felt domestically in
our second quarter. After two years
of keeping the pandemic largely at bay,
Omicron began its march across
New Zealand, after first being detected
in the country on the 16th of December,
2021. Many weeks passed before
Sanford was impacted directly. This was
not simply a result of good luck. Our
emphasis on health, safety and wellbeing
ensured we had a full suite of controls in
place to minimise the risks to our people
and to production. We worked closely
with our people to introduce a Covid-19
vaccine mandate, requiring our staff,
visitors, contractors and sharefishers
to have had two doses of an approved
Covid-19 vaccine in order to enter a
Sanford site. This, alongside PPE,
to appreciate the quality of our King
salmon and we have continued to see
our Big Glory Bay brand go from
strength to strength. This brand is now
represented in approximately 150 retail
stores in America with ambitions
to reach 500 over the next 12 months.
SUSTAINABILITY – NO COMPROMISE
Sustainability remains a non-negotiable
for Sanford. We understand the business
fundamental that there is no Sanford if
there are no fish. We have been fishing
since Albert Sanford first went out on the
Hauraki Gulf in 1864. We intend to fish
and farm in such a way that we are still
fishing, proudly and with respect, in the
next century and beyond.
We have mapped our carbon reduction
pathway in line with our emissions
reduction goals, targeting a 25% reduction
in our operational carbon emissions by
2030. Steps on this path will include new
vessels and Tier 3 engine replacements,
which will introduce lower emissions
profiles to our fleet; phased rollout of
sustainable marine fuels; new ballast water
systems; changes to newer more efficient
boilers; innovative waste treatment
systems; lighting upgrades and changes
to our refrigeration technologies.
We also seek to be a leader in transparency
and in our work with the wider community.

distancing and other hygiene and safety
controls, was another tool to keep our
people safe from Delta, which was the
then dominant strain. This policy came into
effect from the 1st of January 2022.
We sought to acquire Rapid Antigen Tests
from November, when we applied to the
Ministry of Health for a licence to import
our own kits. We introduced these into the
business as soon as we received stocks in
December, prioritising our deepwater fleet
based in Timaru. Our focus was on
reducing the probability of a positive case
on any vessel which would be at sea for a
period of weeks at a time. In this, we had
considerable success, although when
Covid community case numbers
rose dramatically, we were forced to make
many last minute crew changes, which
challenged our usual efficiency with
getting our vessels to sea.
In the latter part of this half, we also
faced considerable staffing challenges in
our production facilities. Covid-19 induced

absenteeism became an issue in our
Auckland factory first, seeing absences
peak at around 52%. The high numbers
off work were a combination of actual
Covid cases and staff impacted by the
requirement to isolate because of sick
family members or housemates. The use
of Rapid Antigen Testing kept positive
cases away from our production facilities,
but the necessary work to maintain
Covid-free sites has impacted production
levels. Post the close of the half year, by
mid-April, our Auckland team were seeing
a return to normal absenteeism. South
Island production facilities however, saw
Covid hit later and subsequently are
delayed in emerging from its effects.
Our ongoing focus on health, safety
and wellbeing sees us continue to use
Rapid Antigen Testing, masks, other
PPE, screening and all requisite hygiene
measures to keep our people safe.
Great credit is due to our teams for
managing their way through these
challenges. The careful planning done in
2021 paid off. With Covid management
procedures shared, understood and tested,
teams knew what to expect and how to
minimise impacts, making good on our
pandemic response mission: to continue
to feed New Zealand and the world while
keeping our people safe and secure.
It is heartening to see that our
engagement scores have not decreased
significantly over the last six months,
despite the difficulties introduced by the
pandemic. Our overall engagement
score remains 7.5/10.
SUPPLY CHAIN PICTURE IMPROVES
Capacity remains constrained in sea and
air freight and we are seeing increased
costs in this area. However, we have
benefited from our contract with Kotahi
which began on the 1st of October, 2021.
This arrangement will operate for a
minimum of two years and gives Kotahi
responsibility for all of our frozen export
product. So far, we have had no issues
getting our seafood onto vessels, thanks
to this arrangement – supply chain access
and capacity issues are better than twelve
months ago, although we recognise that
global capacity is reduced, and we are
continuing to see localised constraints.
For example, issues remain with some
foreign ports particularly into parts of
China and the US. We are also seeing
rising fuel costs produce a significant
cost impost and we expect this to
continue in the second half of the year
with both a domestic impact and an
impact on the cost of exporting. We
expect to see a reduction in air freight
capacity in the second half of 2022, with
passengers returning to the skies, capacity
for freight is reduced but there is a lag
before additional flights are introduced.
We do not anticipate this impact will
continue in the longer term.
Our inventory is back to pre-Covid levels.
We are seeing good sell-through of
product as it is produced or landed and we
expect this to continue. We do not intend
to hold significant levels of inventory over
the second half of 2022.
Labour shortages are also impacting our
supply chain partners from trucking
companies to cold stores as businesses
across New Zealand feel the effects of the
tight jobs market. This has meant we have
had to cast our net wider than usual in
order to get temporary labour to help load
containers and perform other duties
typically handled by contractors. So far, we

and were able to work to plan in the first
half of the year.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASHFLOW
We would describe our current debt levels
as satisfactory, putting us in a strong
position to commence with our strategic
plans, including capital spend.
We have managed our debt position out of
Covid well and have kept net debt to a
minimum at $175.6 million. Our balance
sheet strength is good, operating cash
flows are strong, and we have around
$90 million headroom on our current
banking facilities.
CRAYFISH QUOTA SALE AND STRATEGY
Our five year strategic plan will be shared

publication on the NZX in June. However,
we have previously reported that we seek a
number of primary strategic outcomes and
three of these, as mentioned at the start
of this Review are to:
To do this, we need to invest in vessels and
plants such as our RAS (Recirculating

fitting to end this Review with another
acknowledgement of the work of our
people. Every single person at Sanford has
been affected by Covid-19 in one way or
another. Despite this, they have continued
to do what we have asked of them, while
operating in very challenging circumstances.
This is greatly appreciated and it is
gratifying to see their efforts driving a far
more palatable result than a year ago. We

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT
2022
NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
NOTE 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION
Sanford Limited (‘the parent’ or ‘the
Company’) is a profit-oriented company
that is domiciled and incorporated in
New Zealand. The Company is registered
under the Companies Act 1993 and listed
on the New Zealand Stock Exchange
(NZX). The Company is an FMC entity for
the purposes of Part 7 of the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The interim financial statements
presented are for Sanford Limited
(‘Sanford’ or ‘the Group’) as at and for
the six months ended 31 March 2022.
The Group comprises the Company, its
subsidiaries and its investments in joint
arrangements and associates.
The interim financial statements are
prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34:
Interim Financial Reporting. The interim
financial statements and the restated
comparative information for the six
months ended 31 March 2021 are
unaudited. The comparative information
for the year ended 30 September 2021
are audited.
The Group is a large and long-established
fishing and aquaculture farming business
devoted entirely to the farming,
harvesting, processing, storage and
marketing of quality seafood products
and investments in related activities.
NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION
(i) Significant accounting policies
The Group’s accounting policies have
been applied consistently to all periods
presented in these interim financial
statements, and have been applied
consistently by Group entities, except
as detailed below in note 2(ii).
(ii) New and amended accounting
interpretation adopted: IAS 38
Intangible Asset
The IFRS Interpretations Committee
(‘IFRIC’) has issued two final agenda
decisions relating to Software-as-a-
Service (‘SaaS’) cloud computing
arrangements. In the March 2019 agenda
decision, IFRIC considers whether an
entity should recognise an intangible
asset in a cloud computing arrangement
if the contract does not contain a lease
of the underlying software or if the
entity has no control of the underlying
software. The assessment is done at
the commencement of the contract.
The April 2021 IFRIC agenda decision
considers how an entity accounts for
configuration or customisation costs in
a SaaS cloud computing arrangement.
The Group retrospectively adopted the
interpretations at 1 October 2020,
resulting in the derecognition of
previously capitalised configuration
and customisation costs as a cumulative equity adjustment of $4.0m net of tax at
1 October 2020 (refer to the Sanford 2021 integrated report for details). Henceforth,
comparative information for the six months ended and as at 31 March 2021 presented
in these interim financial statements are also restated. The following tables present the
impact from the said restatements:

(iii) Impact of COVID-19
The Group’s financial performance and financial position continue to be impacted by the
COVID-19 global pandemic. An assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s
31 March 2022 statement of financial position is set out below:
Balance Sheet itemCOVID-19 Assessment
Trade and other
receivables
Recovered demand from re-opened international economies and their
foodservice industries, complemented by favourable sales prices achieved
across the Group’s white fish, salmon and mussels businesses, have
contributed to an increase in trade receivables since September 2021.
No significant issues are noted at 31 March 2022 in respect of credit risk.
Inventories
Seaford inventory levels fell in terms of value by 30% relative to
March 2021. In addition the positive reopening of several export
hospitality markets has also seen inventory levels fall in this half-year
by 14%, when compared to the September 2021 year end. Sanford has
been able to take advantage of increasing demand enabling inventory
levels to fall to near pre-Covid levels. The inventory balance reflects the
inclusion of a $2.7 million provision in order to appropriately value
inventory to its net realisable value. The group does not have ageing
issues in respect of inventory.
(iv) Comparative information
Certain expenses in the consolidated condensed income statements for the six months
ended 31 March 2021 and year ended 30 September 2021 have been reclassified from
cost of sales to administrative expenses to align with the nature of the expenses.
NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING
The Group’s key operating divisions are:
• wildcatch – responsible for catching and processing inshore and deepwater fish
species; and
• aquaculture – responsible for farming, harvesting and processing mussels and salmon.
Executive management of the Group monitors the operating results of the wildcatch
and aquaculture (mussels and salmon) divisions. Divisional performance is evaluated
based on operating profit or loss. Capital expenditure consists of additions of property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets.
The Group has determined that the divisions above should be aggregated to form one
reportable segment to reflect the farming, harvesting, processing and selling of seafood
products, due to the aggregated manner in which performance is monitored. Further
information on segment reporting is included in the financial statements for the year
ended 30 September 2021.

All borrowings are subject to covenant arrangements. The Group has complied with
all covenants during the period (six months ended 31 March 2021 and year ended
30 September 2021: all covenants were complied with).
In April 2022, the secured term loans expiring on 30 April 2022 were extended to
