FINANCIAL RESULTS


Third quarter revenue rose 13.2% to $34.4 million from $30.4 million in the same period last year.

Revenue for the nine months increased 2.6% to $85.1 million from $83 million last year.


Container services


Container services revenue for the quarter of $22.3 million rose 16.6% from $19.1 million in the same

period last year. For the nine months, container services revenue increased by 4.5% to $52.5 million

from $50.2 million due to improved average revenue per TEU, partially offset by lower container

volumes.


Average revenue per TEU for the nine months increased 15.9% to $270 from $233 in the same period

last year. This was driven by a number of factors, including increased infrastructure levies and other

cost recoveries and increased utilisation of depot and storage services.


Container volumes for the quarter increased 1.5% to 82,000 TEU due to higher other container

movements and containerised imports offsetting lower reefer exports.


For the nine months, container volumes decreased 9.8% to 194,000 TEU from 215,000 TEU in the same

period last year as volumes have been affected by shipping disruption, labour shortages and weather

events.


Bulk cargo


Bulk cargo revenue for the quarter of $11.4 million increased 7.5% from $10.6 million in the same period

last year. For the nine months, bulk cargo revenues decreased 0.7% to $30.6 million from $30.8 million

as volumes decreased 6.3% to 2.7 million tonnes from 2.9 million tonnes in the same period a year ago.


Log export volume for the quarter decreased by 5.1% and for the nine-month period decreased by 6.9%

to 2.1 million tonnes from 2.2 million tonnes as export conditions remained largely unchanged from the

first half of the financial year.


Average revenue per tonne for the nine months increased 6% to $11.31 from $10.67 in the same period

last year. This includes the new infrastructure levy on bulk volume, tariff increases and an initial

contribution from the debarking operation, partially offset by the one-off cost recovery revenue of $0.29

per tonne in the prior year.

Operating results

The result from operating activities for the third quarter rose 3.7% to $13.3 million from $12.8 million in

the prior year period. For the nine months, the result from operating activities decreased 12.8% to $29.8

million from $34.1 million due to higher revenue offset by increased operating expenses from additional

staff numbers and high cost inflation across all expense categories.


Underlying net profit after tax for the third quarter, after adjusting for unrealised fair value movements

on investment properties, increased by 5.1% to $7 million from $6.7 million in the same period last year.

For the nine months this decreased by 17.7% to $14.2 million from $17.2 million.




Reported net profit after tax for the third quarter decreased 10.9% to $7 million and for the nine months

decreased 13.3% from $18.4 million to $16 million.


Chair Alasdair MacLeod said: “We ended the third quarter in a stronger position than we ended the half

year. Napier Port continues to benefit from the strength of New Zealand’s primary sector economy, and

our customers and region have again demonstrated fortitude and an ability to persevere despite

challenging conditions. This can-do attitude, together with the commitment of Napier Port’s team to

deliver services and solutions to keep cargo moving, contributed to an improved third quarter.


“We have made exceptional progress putting in place the infrastructure that will underpin the prosperity

of the region and Napier Port for the long term. Te Whiti (6 Wharf) opening on 22 July, ahead of schedule

and within budget, is a highlight. This demonstrates the capability of Napier Port and its team. Te Whiti

(6 Wharf) is a statement of confidence in the region, its prospects of prosperity and lays a solid platform

for growth. Final costs are expected for our financial year end, and we now anticipate they will come in

at the bottom of our existing $173-179 million range,” Mr MacLeod said.


Chief Executive Todd Dawson said: “The uplift in third quarter trade volumes has flowed through into

the improved financial results for the quarter which are better than the same period last year. Results

for the nine months are softer than the prior year due to the particularly challenging trading conditions

in the first half of the year. For the nine-month period, we have seen lower volumes of export apples

and fresh and other chilled produce as a result of reduced overall production within customer operations

as a result of Covid, labour shortages and weather events earlier in the year.


“In the third quarter, container shipping conditions were largely unchanged from the first half, with

unpredictable schedules continuing to result in missed or delayed vessels, reduced overall shipping

capacity, and larger exchanges of cargo across fewer vessel calls.


“Bringing Te Whiti (6 Wharf) on-line during July, we are confident it will help to alleviate ongoing supply

chain disruption, being equipped to berth the larger vessels that call New Zealand; and the additional

capability means improved operational performance across all our wharves, boosting productivity for

cargo owners and efficiency for shipping lines,” Mr Dawson said.


“Operating costs remain a challenge in the current environment. We, like all businesses and consumers,

are seeing significant cost increases across the board. We have introduced revenue generating

recoveries for some of our bigger expense items such as insurance and fuel which are helping to offset

some of the cost increases.


“In the current year we have also seen increased repairs and maintenance expenditure across our plant

and equipment to maintain fleet integrity as part of our critical risk management programme and as a

result of earlier decisions taken to defer replacement capex.”


CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT UPDATE


Over the nine-month period Napier Port has invested $61.5 million in capital assets, bringing its 6 Wharf

development project near to completion.


Napier Port ended June 2022 with drawn bank debt of $130 million and undrawn bank facilities of $50

million.




Napier Port expects its Net Debt to EBITDA ratio to peak in the near term above its target ceiling of 3.5x

following the completion of the 6 Wharf construction project and due to the lower earnings being

experienced during the current financial year, with the unchanged expectation that the ratio will be

managed to within its long-term target range of 2.0x to 3.0x over time.


Subsequent to the 30 June balance sheet date, Napier Port has extended the maturity of $55 million of

its facilities with ICBC New Zealand a further two years to September 2026.


Napier Port announces today that it is considering making an offer

4


of unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed

rate bonds which would be listed on the NZX Debt Market. Consideration is being given to an offer of

$75 million (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to an additional $25 million at Napier Port’s

discretion) of bonds. The net proceeds of the offer would be used to repay a portion of Napier Port’s

existing bank debt and for general corporate purposes.


Napier Port will issue a separate NZX announcement today regarding the potential bond offer with more

details including how Napier Port shareholders can register their interest in the Shareholder Priority

Offer.


OUTLOOK


Mr Dawson said: “We are pleased with the performance of Napier Port for the quarter and the nine

months, given the number of challenges we faced in the first half. At every step Napier Port’s team has

risen to the challenges and maintained operations despite widespread Covid-related community illness,

unpredictable shipping schedules and weather and labour shortages impacting our customers’

operations.


“The softening global economy in the wake of the post-Covid lockdown demand surge and global

inflationary pressures will add to the challenges faced by exporters. There are signs that disrupted global

container shipping is beginning to settle, but in the near term we expect continued network disruption

and constrained shipping capacity, with shipping delays still evident across NZ ports.


“Despite the welcome improvement in third quarter trade volumes and results, our cargo customers

remain concerned by restrictions on the availability of labour, and in particular the ongoing difficulty with

securing Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) workers, despite the borders now being open. As we

have seen this financial year, the effect of our primary sector industries having insufficient labour results

in lost production, processing capacity and earnings throughout our economy. We support their call to

government to take positive action now to ensure another primary sector season is not compromised

by labour shortages.


“Despite these ongoing challenges global demand for our region’s premium food and fibre products

remains robust. We are looking forward to welcoming back cruise lines and their passengers to our

region, with the forthcoming resumption of cruise visits and 89 current bookings.


“We expect operating cost inflation to remain a challenge for the foreseeable future and continue to

focus on mitigating this where possible while continuing to develop our capability to meet our customers’

needs now and in the future.



4

Napier Port Holdings Limited is not currently seeking preliminary indications of interest. No money is being sought and no

bonds can be applied for or acquired. Any offer that is made will be in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.




“Noting ongoing uncertainties, we continue to expect an underlying result from operating activities for

the year to 30 September 2022 of between $38 million to $42 million.”

Group’s customers which are accounted for as a single performance obligation. Revenue is recognised over-time

using the percentage of completion method.

Revenue is measured based on the service price specified in the relevant tariffs or specific customer contract.

The contract price for the services performed reflects the value transferred to the customer.

Property operations

Investment property lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

Operating segments

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly reported to the

Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment being Port Services. This consists of providing and managing port

services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the Port Services reportable segment the

following operating segments have been identified: marine services, general cargo services, container services,

port pack services and depot services. These have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic

characteristics, customers, nature of services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. During the period the Group had three

customers which comprised 17%, 12% and 11% of total revenue respectively (2021: two customers comprising

19% and 11% of total revenue respectively).

8 SEA DEFENCES VALUATION

Sea Defence assets were revalued to fair value as at 31 March 2022 by AECOM New Zealand Ltd. The valuation has been

prepared on an optimised depreciated replacement cost basis and in accordance with the NZ Infrastructure Asset Valuation

and Depreciation Guidelines published by the NAMS group of IPWEA. The valuation increased the carrying amount of Sea

Defences by $29,990,000, resulting in a net book value for Sea Defences of $110,860,000 as at 31 March 2022.

Significant Estimates

The valuation of sea defences is subject to assumptions and judgements which materially affect the resulting valuation.

Such factors include replacement quantities and unit values, the condition and performance of assets, estimated total

and remaining effective lives of 70 to 161 years and 5 to 80 years, respectively, and estimated residual values of 20%

of replacement cost. Other inputs incorporated into the valuation process include an allowance for project on-costs

of 5-6%. An increase in the remaining useful life, the residual value assumption, or in replacement quantities and unit values

for sea defence assets will result in an increase in the valuation and vice versa.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT


TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF NAPIER PORT HOLDINGS LIMITED’S INTERIM FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2022


The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier Port Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries

(the “Group”). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Stuart Mutch, using the staff and resources of

Ernst & Young, to carry out the review of the consolidated interim financial statements (“interim

financial statements”) of the Group on his behalf.

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of the Group on pages 1 to 10, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, and the consolidated income

statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in

equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended on that date, and the

notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim

financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of

the Group as at 30 June 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the nine months

ended on that date, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard

34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial

Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our

responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim

Financial Statements section of our report.


We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-

General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and

Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand

Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.


Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests, in the Group.

Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of

these interim financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to

enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Directors are also responsible for the publication of the interim financial statements, whether in

printed or electronic form.

NINE MONTH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2022 / 11

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited


Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.

NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that

causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all

material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard

34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited

assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review

procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an

audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and

consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant

matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these

interim financial statements.

1.1 Description of adjustments

In determining the use of adjustments, the Directors have considered only those items that they

believe are required to ensure consistency and comparability of the financial information over the

periods presented.

The adjustment that Napier Port considers appropriate is the removal of unrealised fair value

movements on investment properties as these are non-core activity.
