THL LIFTS FY23 PROFIT GUIDANCE

thl today provides an update on its expectations for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 (FY23).

thl’s current expectation is that net profit after tax (on a standalone basis) in FY23 will be above $30
million.

This guidance includes the impact of an estimated $3.5 million in Apollo-related transaction
costs in FY23.

Earlier guidance provided by thl in August 2022 was that net profit in FY23 was expected to be between
$17.0M and $30.2M, which aligned with the range of analyst forecasts at that time.

The improved outlook is primarily a result of performance in the first quarter of FY23 exceeding earlier
expectations and greater certainty on forward rental revenue for the upcoming high season in Australia
and New Zealand. Demand and rental yields for the upcoming high season have been above prior
expectations, with yields (across the financial year to date and current summer bookings) up by more
than 35% on FY19 levels in New Zealand and up by more than 70% on FY19 levels in Australia.

Vehicle sales continue to perform well from a margin perspective in all markets. New Zealand and
Australia continue to deliver sales margins in line with FY22 performance, and the reduction of sales
margins in the USA towards historical levels is occurring at a slower rate than previously guided.
thl has
observed a decline in retail vehicle demand, in line with current deteriorating economic conditions.
However, supply chain issues in motorised RVs are now expected to continue deeper into 2023, resulting
in a continuing shortage of sales stock in the market that is holding up sales margins.

thl expects to provide further detail on regional performance at the Annual Shareholder Meeting to be
held on 1 November 2022.
