DIVERSIFICATION PAYS DIVIDENDS FOR SCALES CORPORATION


Highlights – 6 months to 30 June 2022 (1H22)


• Underlying

NPAT

2

Attributable to Shareholders of $25.6 million (1H21: $29.0 million), down

11.7%

• Reported NPAT of $35.1 million (1H21: $32.6 million), up 7.5%

• Outstanding performance in petfood ingredients businesses

• This, together with the success of our divisional strategy and the growth opportunities that have

been identified, has led to a renaming of the Food Ingredients division to Global Proteins

• Logistics continuing to prove strategically important, providing vital services and solutions for both

internal and external customers


Diversified agribusiness group Scales Corporation Limited (NZX:SCL) today reported its 1H22 results

where an outstanding performance by its Global Proteins division and steady earnings from its

Logistics division were impacted by lower Horticulture results.


Scales Corporation Chair Tim Goodacre noted: “Our strategic planning and diversification has

delivered a resilient 6-month performance for Scales Group. In a very challenging year for

Horticulture, the Group has benefited from continued growth in Global Proteins and the ongoing

strategic support from Logistics.”


“As ever, the result is reflective of the outstanding leadership and performance of our teams and the

strong work ethic within each of our businesses.”

Divisions


Our Global Proteins division has once again grown significantly, with Underlying EBITDA

3

of

$30.4 million (1H21: $16.1 million), an increase of 88.6%. Managing Director Andy Borland

commented: “This is a very exciting time for the Global Proteins division. Its sustained growth has

reaffirmed our belief in its global potential, particularly with regard to proteins, and there are a

promising number of growth opportunities that are presenting themselves.”


“The division’s outstanding 6-month performance continues to be driven by the ongoing global

demand for petfood, with a 13% increase in volumes sold compared to 1H21. Changes in product

mix and margins have also contributed to the growth.”


The Horticulture division encountered significant headwinds. Its Underlying EBITDA of $24.0 million

was down on the prior period (1H21: $38.0 million) with strong in-market prices more than offset by

reduced volumes and increased costs. Mr Apple’s total own-grown export volumes are forecast to be

3.3 million TCEs

4

(2021: 3.6 million TCEs).


Mr Borland noted: “This has been a very challenging season for Horticulture. There has been

considerable disruption in a number of aspects of the business, including in weather, labour, logistics

and international markets. Despite the outstanding job that Mr Apple’s team has done, the combined

effect of these disruptions has negatively impacted the 1H22 result.”


“We are continuing to give attention to the issues of increasing labour costs and difficulties in labour

availability and our packhouse automation project, which partially addresses these issues, is

progressing well.”


Logistics continued to prove its strategic value and delivered a strong Underlying EBITDA of $3.6

million (1H21: $2.7 million). Mr Borland said “The skill and expertise of the Logistics team meant vital

services and solutions were provided to both internal and external customers. We believe there is an

opportunity to expand this offering and expertise to global markets in conjunction with the growth in

the Global Proteins division.”


Full Year 2022 Outlook


Directors advise that Underlying Net Profit Attributable to Shareholders is now expected to be at the

upper end of the previously advised range of $23.5 million to $28.5 million. Due to the change in

earnings mix, the implied Underlying Net Profit range has increased to between $35 million and $43

million and the Underlying EBITDA range has increased to between $65 million and $75 million.

In providing this updated guidance for 2022, Directors note:

• Global Proteins’ earnings for 2H22 are expected to be similar to 2H21

• Earnings from the Horticulture division remain subject to the success of the Mid-Autumn Festival

sales in China and a stronger finish to sales in the European market than experienced in 2021

• Mr Apple has a higher level of fruit that is unsold compared to last year

• The challenges in global logistics are expected to continue through to at least 2023


Scales continues to investigate an increasing number of, predominantly offshore, opportunities to

grow the Global Proteins division.


On behalf of his fellow Directors and Shareholders, Mr Goodacre gave his thanks to all Scales’

employees for their continued loyalty and enthusiasm, which enabled the delivery of the solid financial

and operational performance.

•There is a correlation in the growth in petfood and human consumption protein demand

due to their related drivers:

◦Estimated global population of 8.6 billion by 2030, with most of the growth from developing /

emerging countries

◦The middle class could reach 4.9 billion people by 2030, a 172% increase from 2009

◦7 out of 10 countries with the highest GDP growth are in Asia

◦Growing preference for pet ownership. Currently 59% of Asian households have a pet,

compared to 70% of USA households

◦‘Humanisation of pets’ driving preference for quality, sustainable and ethical products

◦The mismatch between protein supply and demand is anticipated to grow

•Demographic and social changes will drive a shift in our food systems

•Scales is seeking to position itself to benefit from the anticipated growth in protein

demand for by-products for pet consumption and other edible applications

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2022

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Scales Corporation Limited (the "Company" or "Scales") is a for-profit entity domiciled and registered under the

Companies Act 1993 in New Zealand. It is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013. The Group consists of Scales, its subsidiaries and joint ventures. The principal

activities of the Group are to grow apples, provide logistics services, export products, provide insurance services to

companies within the Group and operate storage and processing facilities.

2. COVID-19

On 24 March 2020, the New Zealand Government announced a number of Orders under the Health Act 1956 and the

Epidemic Preparedness Act 2006 to restrict certain activities for the purposes of preventing the outbreak and spread of

COVID-19. The Group's business units were classified as "essential services" and complied with the respective health

requirements within each jurisdiction they operated in.

As at the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group was operating at the Orange Level of the COVID-19

Protection Framework in New Zealand. The Group operations outside of New Zealand continue to be also impacted by

the COVID-19 pandemic.

(a) Uncertainties, estimates and judgements

The economic and public health conditions globally have impacted these trading results, and the current uncertainties are

expected to impact the results in the future.

The risks impacted by the uncertainty arising from COVID-19 include credit risk and market risks which impact the

Group's assessment of expected credit losses, carrying value of inventories and the recoverability of non-current

assets and goodwill.

The Directors have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on these judgements and estimates and concluded that no significant

changes to the carrying values of assets or liabilities are currently necessary.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

Standard 34 (NZ IAS 34)Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34)Interim

Financial Reporting, as applicable for profit orientated entities. The significant accounting policies applied by the Group

during the period have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim

financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related

notes included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2021.

5. SEASONALITY OF BUSINESS

All business segments are subject to seasonal fluctuation. The apple crop has been picked and packed and the

export programme is well under way as at 30 June. Higher volumes are processed through the pet food ingredients

plants in the first half of the year due to the seasonal nature of the meat industry and there is greater utilisation of

logistics services over the first half of the year as seasonal products are shipped to export markets.

At 30 June the harvested crop held in inventory is valued at fair value less estimated costs to sell. At 31 December the

unharvested crop is valued at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Both the harvested crop at 30 June and the

unharvested crop at 31 December are included in agricultural produce.

Foreign currency derivative instruments

The Group is exposed to currency risk as a result of normal trading transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Group

uses foreign currency derivative financial instruments to manage its currency risk. The fair value of foreign currency

derivative financial instruments at the reporting date is determined on a discounted cash flow basis whereby future cash

flows are estimated based on forward exchange rates and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit

risk of various counterparties. The Group’s forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign exchange options are classified as

Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

These foreign currency instruments are designated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure

resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange rates on anticipated future transactions. It is anticipated that the

sales will take place during the 2022 to 2027 financial years at which stage the amount deferred in equity will be released into

profit or loss.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

Interest rate swap contracts and forward rate agreements

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at floating interest rates. Management monitors the level of

interest rates on an ongoing basis and uses interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to manage interest rate risk.

Under interest rate swap contracts and forward rate agreements, the Group agrees to exchange the difference between fixed

and floating interest rate amounts calculated on agreed notional principal amounts. Such contracts, some of which may

commence in future reporting years, enable the Group to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on the cash flow

exposures on the issued floating rate debt. The fair value of these contracts at the reporting date is determined by

discounting the future cash flows using the forward interest rate curves at reporting date and the credit risk inherent in the

contracts. The average contracted fixed interest rate is based on the notional principal amount at balance date. The Group’s

interest rate swap contracts and forward rate agreements are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

These interest rate swap contracts and forward rate agreements, exchanging floating rate interest amounts for fixed rate

interest amounts, are designated as cash flow hedges in order to reduce the Group’s cash flow exposure resulting from

floating interest rates on borrowings. The interest rate swap and forward rate agreement payments, and the interest

payments on the loans occur simultaneously, and the amount deferred in equity is recognised in profit or loss over the

period that the floating rate interest payments on debt impact profit or loss.

11. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
