Sky Annual Shareholders’ Meeting


Chairman’s and Chief Executive’s Address and Presentation


2 November 2022



The 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Sky Network Television Limited (Sky) will be

held today, Wednesday 2 November 2022, commencing at 10:00am (NZDT) at The Maritime

Room, Princes Wharf, Viaduct Harbour, Auckland and via the Computershare online meeting

platform at https://meetnow.global/nz. Copies of the Chair’s and Chief Executive’s addresses

and presentation are attached and also available on Sky’s website. Sky shareholders are

warmly encouraged to participate.


The meeting includes a Special Resolution regarding the return of approximately $70 million

by way of a Court Sanctioned Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme). In this regard, Sky

Chairman Philip Bowman confirms receipt of a binding ruling from the New Zealand IRD in his

address to shareholders, satisfying one of the conditions to the Scheme. Should the Special

Resolution be passed at the meeting, satisfying the other condition to the Scheme, Sky

expects to seek final orders from the High Court sanctioning the return of capital shortly

thereafter.


Mr Bowman will also provide an update on the Company’s dividend policy and signal the

potential for additional capital allocation measures: “As a further demonstration of the Board’s

confidence, and with reference to our view on cash generation and appropriate levels of

leverage, we have made an amendment to Sky’s dividend policy. Going forward, the

previously advised pay-out range of 50% to 80% of Free Cash Flow (excluding one-off items)

has been increased to 60% to 90% on the same basis. We are also confirming the definition

of Free Cash Flow as cashflow from operations less both replacement and growth capex, but

excluding one-off items such as material acquisitions or disposals of assets.


“As a result of the change, Sky’s dividend guidance for FY23 has been increased to between

$18m and $24m. This change is a positive demonstration of our ongoing commitment to

return surplus cash and one that I trust shareholders will appreciate.”


“Consistent with the Board’s stated capital allocation strategy and focus on value creation, the

Board is currently minded to initiate an on-market buy-back programme following the

announcement of the interim results, noting that the size of any programme would be

determined by reference at that time to the prevailing share price, the cash position of the

company, the economic outlook, and the liquidity of our shares in the market.”


Chief Executive Sophie Moloney will provide an update to shareholders on Sky’s strategy and

core competitive advantages, and the progress made in the last two years. She will also

outline priority projects for the upcoming year, including:


• Delivery of the new Sky Box and Sky Pod, noting that Sky has agreed with Vodafone

that the Vodafone TV platform will stay open across the summer break to ensure

customers can continue to watch Sky and other content on Vodafone TV until they

move to new Sky products in the New Year;




• The next steps to take advantage of the significant opportunity that exists in the

advertising space;


• Sky’s focus on its data strategy to deliver deeper actionable insights; and


• Sky’s ongoing delivery of cost control, in both programming and non-programming

costs.


Sky remains on track to deliver results within the guidance ranges provided at the time of the

FY22 results in August, being Revenue of between $750m to $770m; EBITDA of between

$150m to $170m, NPAT of between $50m to $60m and Capex of between $60m to $75m.


For those unable to attend in person, the Computershare online meeting platform enables

shareholders and guests to view the meeting and presentations and provides shareholders

and proxyholders the opportunity to vote and ask questions. Instructions on how to

participate are available in the Virtual Meeting Guide accompanying this announcement and

Chairman’s Address

Sky Network Television Limited Annual Shareholder Meeting - 2 November 2022


Fellow shareholders, welcome to this hybrid Annual Shareholder Meeting of Sky Network Television

Limited. I’m Philip Bowman, your Chairman. It is good to see a number of you here today in person

after the disruption of covid over the past several years.

I would like to start by outlining the progress made in FY22. As I mentioned in my letter which

accompanied the Annual Results, Sky ended the 2022 fiscal year in a much-improved position, having

made good progress against its strategic plan, and having delivered a 41% increase in reported Net

Profit after Tax of $62.2 million, and significantly improved Free Cash Flow. Importantly, results were

significantly above the expectations we set out in our original guidance for the year, with a substantial

upgrade announced in December 2021 following a detailed review of costs. In particular, I would

highlight three areas that contributed to this successful outcome.

- First, we saw continued growth in the number of customer relationships, as Sky’s strengthened

content continues to attract new and returning customers to Sky platforms.

- Second, the 2022 year saw the return to revenue growth - the first increase in six years and

pleasingly driven by growth in core subscription revenue. The increase in customer relationships

was a contributing factor, as was the improved retention of high value Sky Box customers. It is

important to also recognise that we benefitted from a price increase on Neon, taken in the

previous fiscal year, and late in the fiscal year we raised the price of Sky’s Sport package. Both

increases were delivered without impacting customer numbers – a testament to the quality and

value Sky’s content offering represents.

- Third, the strong focus on cost control continued, as evidenced by the successful delivery of $39

million in operating cost reductions enabling reinvestment for growth, including new content.

These savings were identified through an initial cost review and include $29 million in ongoing

permanent reductions that will carry through to future years.

The successful sale of Sky’s Mount Wellington properties for $56 million was an additional highlight,

releasing capital, delivering an immediate $14.0 million gain on sale, and also ensuring an overall

reduction in Sky’s ongoing property costs.

This performance, combined with greater confidence in the future, despite a worsening economic

backdrop, allowed the Board to declare a fully imputed final dividend of 7.3 cents per share, delivering

on the promise made at the interim results of a return to paying dividends.

Underpinning these results, for customers and shareholders, is the very significant effort and

commitment of the wider Sky crew. This is a credit to Sophie’s leadership and the support of her

strengthened executive leadership team which came together during the year.

Moving now to 2023, whilst the Board and Management recognise there has been significant progress,

we are clear there is much more to be done. Sky remains a business in transition, and we do not

underestimate the need to continue this progress and to capture the growth opportunities available

to us as the media industry continues to evolve.

FY 2023 year will be a crucial year for the business, and one in which excellence in execution will be

key. Priorities include:

2

- New Technology. An immediate focus is the successful delivery of the new Sky Box and Sky Pod

that will provide customers with a significantly enhanced experience. We rightly see this as a

crucial, transformational moment that will unlock new opportunities for Sky, and the team is

determined to deliver on this promise.

- Advertising. We have signalled our intention to strengthen capability in advertising to capture a

larger share of this significant revenue pool. The opportunity to deliver additional value from Sky’s

unrivalled content offering and significant reach including via free to air is real, but will require

investment to secure.

- Cost base. While we are rightly investing for the future, our focus on continued reduction of the

cost base remains firm. The rights we have secured are not generally subject to inflation linked

increases, and Sky’s hedging policy will provide protection from some near-term exchange rate

fluctuations. However, the expected step-up in programming costs for 2023 and inflationary

pressures in some areas of our business, such as people and production costs, require a

sharpening of our focus on all cost lines. Like all businesses impacted by input cost inflation, we

will maintain an ongoing review of the prices we charge.

You will hear more from Sophie on the very real cost out initiatives we have in our sights, as well as

the investment opportunities that I have touched on.

Turning to Capital management strategy, I would like to explain the path that has led us to the capital

return resolution on which you will be voting later.

The turnaround in Sky’s position over the past 2 years has been dramatic, and whilst there are still

challenges to be navigated, Sky has a strong balance sheet, and had a $139 million cash balance at last

year end, including proceeds from the property sale. Sky also has strong and sustainable free cash

flows, and an undrawn banking facility of $150 million. During FY22, your Board initiated a review of

Sky’s capital management strategy, taking into consideration likely capital needs, opportunities to

invest to drive future growth, as well as future performance projections.

As part of this consideration, Sophie and her team took the time to review investment opportunities.

These included assessing the merits of a potential acquisition of MediaWorks as a means to achieving

scale and additional capability in advertising. With the benefit of hindsight, the timing proved less than

optimal with a significant market correction taking place during discussions and due diligence. Whilst

the ultimate decision was not to proceed with a transaction, the strategic rationale for a combination

was broadly validated and the learnings for Sky have been very valuable.

Returning to capital management strategy, our investor base is a broad church and discussions

revealed a wide range of views on how much cash should be retained, and the method by which

returning surplus cash might be achieved. Ultimately, the Board’s confidence in the Company’s

position and outlook were behind the decision to return the sum of approximately $70 million which

proved to be comfortably above expectations.

Sky’s capital allocation strategy strikes a careful balance between returning surplus capital, providing

an income stream to shareholders through dividends, and retaining the flexibility to invest for future

growth, including the potential to accelerate the rollout of the new Sky Box. A further consideration

is future on-market buy-backs utilising surplus capital to cancel shares if the Board believes that these

are trading below their intrinsic value.

The full range of methods available to return cash was considered with key considerations being equal

treatment of all shareholders and the ability to execute with certainty and on a timely basis. While we

3

understood the appeal to some shareholders of a share buy-back, this was ruled out given the

quantum of funds to be returned relative to the Company’s market capitalisation, and the lack of

liquidity in Sky stock. By comparison, a special dividend would have been relatively easy to execute

but would have used a substantial quantum of imputation credits, while triggering adverse tax

consequences for many shareholders.

The decision we arrived at, to return capital by way of a Court Approved Scheme of Arrangement will

be voted on later in the meeting and I would make three points on the rationale for this as the chosen

method:

- It offers a fair and equitable outcome – treating all shareholders equally.


- This method also allowed us to seek a ruling from the IRD to deliver the most efficient tax outcome

to maximise the value to New Zealand based shareholders. I am pleased to be able to advise today

that Sky has now received this ruling.


- And finally, the Scheme provides certainty of execution - if supported by shareholders today, cash

of approximately 40 cents per existing share should be in the hands of shareholders by late

November.

Your Board unanimously supports the proposed capital return and recommends that you vote in

favour of the resolution, as will all directors, when the time comes.

As a further demonstration of the Board’s confidence, and with reference to our view on cash

generation and appropriate levels of leverage, we have today announced an amendment to Sky’s

dividend policy. Going forward, the previously advised pay-out range of 50% to 80% of Free Cash Flow

(excluding one-off items) has been increased to 60% to 90% on the same basis. We are also confirming

the definition of Free Cash Flow is after capex spend which includes both replacement and growth

assets. In addition we clarified the definition of one-off items as including a material acquisition or

disposal of assets.

As a result of the change, Sky’s dividend guidance for FY23 has been increased to between $18m and

$24m. This change is a positive demonstration of our ongoing commitment to return surplus cash to

shareholders and one that I trust shareholders will appreciate.

Assuming shareholders approve the return of capital, the number of outstanding shares will reduce

by 16.7% from approximately 174.7 million to 145.6 million. Completion of the capital return and

share cancellation would deliver a theoretical share price of $2.18 based on the NZX share price at

yesterday’s market close of $2.22. At the midpoint of the FY23 guidance given to the Market on 25

th


August, but amended for the dividend policy announced today, key metrics for FY23, assuming the

lower number of shares had been in issue throughout the financial year, would be a Return on

Issued Capital of 16.4%, a valuation of 0.4 times revenue or 1.8 times EBITDA, and a dividend yield of

9.2%.


While Sky’s shares listed on the NZX provided a heathy 18% increase in the year to 31 October

compared to the NZX50’s fall of 13% and the ASX300’s fall of 2%, we are yet to see the share price

reflect the improved results and outlook for the Company. The Board believes that Sky’s shares are

significantly under-priced.

4

With this in mind - and consistent with the Board’s stated capital allocation strategy and focus on

value creation, the Board is currently minded to initiate an on-market buy-back programme following

the announcement of the interim results, noting that the size of any programme would be determined

by reference at that time to the prevailing share price, the cash position of the company, the economic

outlook, and the liquidity of our shares in the market. By way of an example, based on the reduced

number of shares following the proposed return of capital and given Sky’s net cash position, a $15

million buy-back programme would be expected to deliver a 5% uplift in both EBITDA and Earnings

Per Share.

In conclusion, I would like to firstly thank my fellow board members for their diligence and

commitment on behalf of shareholders. We met frequently during the year as a board, but Directors

were also co-opted to a number of ad hoc committees, some of which met many times.

This year we have welcomed Mark Buckman who joined us in March and whose skills and excellent

contribution have swiftly made a positive impact. Geraldine McBride will stand down from the Board

at the conclusion of the meeting. She leaves with our sincere thanks and appreciation for nine years

of service to Sky. A search has been underway for several months for a further new director as part of

the process of refreshing the board, with an announcement to follow once this process is complete.

I should also like again to reiterate the Board’s thanks to Sophie, her leadership team and the wider

Sky crew for the positive progress and strong results achieved for shareholders.

And finally I would like to thank you, our shareholders, many of whom have supported Sky through

difficult times. Thank you for your belief in Sky and continued support for the company. The Board

and Management are committed to build on the progress made over the past two years and will

continue to drive the transition that is reshaping Sky. I look forward to updating you on further

progress as the financial year unfolds.

Chief Executive Address

Sky Network Television Limited Annual Shareholder Meeting – 2 November 2022

Slide - Title

- Thank you, Philip, and kia ora Sky Investor e te whānau, nau mai haere mai, ko Sophie tōku ingoa,

tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

- Hello everyone, I’m Sophie and it’s my privilege to be here and serve as your CEO.

- It’s also a privilege to do what we do at Sky – providing kiwis with the sport and entertainment they

love, in ways that work for them.

- Most great shows start with a recap of what happened in the previous episode to remind the

audience of the story so far.

- With that in mind, building on Philip’s succinct summaries, and as I address you for the second time

as your Chief Executive, I set out a quick recap of the distance we’ve travelled and why I believe we

are poised for future growth.

- After sharing these highlights, along with our strategic competitive advantages, I will focus on the

current episode of delivery before wrapping up with a key acknowledgement of our crew, and of

our commitment to playing our part in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Slide - Timeline

- Starting then with that brief recap of the highlights of the past two years, I refer you to the timeline

and in particular draw your attention to:

- The successful launch of Sky Broadband, which is a proof point of the ability of our team to deliver

an excellent new service.

- Securing the renewal of the Rugby League until the end 2027 – a vitally important win given its

growing popularity and full winter schedule.

- The launch of Sky Rewards, which has been appreciated by customers as we tangibly recognise

their loyalty while at the same time delivering a positive impact for Sky.

- Our disciplined and successful bid for the rights to the Premier League for the next 6 seasons, which

was another key strategic content moment, supplying a summer schedule for our football-loving

customers.

- And, of course it’s been very gratifying to return to paying dividends to you, our owners – an

important milestone in Sky's continued turnaround.

Slide - Content

- That timeline clearly supports the current strategy of connecting New Zealanders to the content we

know they love, because of the viewership data we see every week.

2

- And from this rich data set, we can see that it isn’t just sport that connects and engages our

customer segments whether they be native streamers or heartland champions: it can also be shows

such as Love Island that connect them!

- Our content variety means there really is something for everyone, including NZ stories

commissioned by our Sky Originals team, with our recent feature film Rūrangi also getting noticed

abroad and securing an International Emmy Award nomination; this is our second nomination with

Sky Original INSiDE having won an Emmy last year.

- Speaking of international interest, undoubtedly ‘shirts in black’ on our screens continues to matter

to kiwis and with this in mind, we are delighted to have secured the rights to World Rugby content

for the next 7 years, including four Rugby World Cups. This innovative deal also saw us transfer

ownership of Rugbypass to World Rugby with the clear desire to continue to partner to drive a

global audience to the game, including in particular fuelling more interest and growth in the

women’s game.

Slide - Platforms

- And how do we deliver this amazing array of content? A vitally important plank of our strategic

gameplan is the ability to meet customers wherever they are.

- Here, on this slide, we start that narrative with Sky Business (who serve close to 7,000 pubs, clubs,

hotels, motels and gyms right across the country); where kiwis can discover and enjoy Sky content

for the price of a pint or a workout, whatever their preference may be!

- There is then the powerful reach of our advertising-supported, free-to-air channel Prime – reaching

around close to 1.3 million New Zealanders each week. Prime is a key pillar of our current

advertising business and also provides the opportunity to showcase key sporting moments to all

New Zealanders, for free.

- Then, of course, there is the reliability of our existing Sky Box with 100% reach across the country,

along with the significant value-add of Sky Go, our companion app for Sky Box customers.

- Which takes us to the exciting new, hybrid Sky Box and the new Sky Pod, reconnecting Sky with our

origin story of giving kiwis choice and ease. More on the new Box in a moment.

- The new Sky Pod is the first time New Zealanders can get Sky without a dish – if that’s what they

prefer, noting, of course that it comes without recording functionality or the reliability of satellite.

It’s a great alternative for our Vodafone TV customers, and, in future, for those who can’t or choose

not to install a dish.

- And it’s quite a moment for the company and for you, as investors, especially when you couple it

with Sky Broadband – creating many new product bundling opportunities for my Chief Customer

Officer to go after!

3

- And last, but certainly not least, our streaming services Neon and Sky Sport Now, that have gone

from strength to strength in the last financial year by serving the needs of those customers who

simply want standalone entertainment and sport streaming services.

Slide – Our competitive advantage

- Ultimately, what these two slides talk to coupled with our high, ARPU Sky Box customer base, are

our core competitive strengths of:

o understanding what our customers value based on what they watch;

o building on our strong market position as the ultimate aggregator, with a compelling

‘power of the bundle’ content offering;

o the ability to deliver reliably to the entire country – no-one else can do this in the way we

can; and

o with a multi product and platform play, including free to access options that means we

have something to offer for everyone.

- It’s a compelling overall competive advantage that I will reference again a bit later.

Slide – FY 2022 Hightlights

- This competitive advantage contributed to Sky achieving the positive inflection point of revenue

growth in FY22, as significant growth in both Neon and Sky Sport Now, coupled with a slowing

decline of the Box base, saw both customer relationships and overall revenues each grow by 4%.

- In turn, this contributed to the healthy 41% lift in Net Profit After Tax, and a 130% increase in Free

Cash Flow to $42.8 million.

Slide – 3 year targets

- And to complete this first recap, and marking our homework since we last met, as you can see from

this slide, we’re largely on track to achieve our 3 year targets.

- But of course there is more to do. So, let’s talk about delivery.


Slide – Deliver - Digital Tech

- As referenced by Philip, the launch of the Sky Box and Sky Pod is a key moment for us. The new

Box is the most transformative product we have offered our customers in many years, and we’re

highly focused on delivering an excellent experience for them.

- Our immediate priority is meeting the needs of our Vodafone TV customers given the looming

closure of that service. To give ourselves – and our customers – a little more breathing room, we

have agreed with our partner Vodafone that the platform will stay open across the summer break.

4

- While we will start rolling out the new Sky Box and the Pod as soon as possible , we’re mindful that

the Christmas period is a busy time for many kiwis, and this gives everyone more time to make the

move to our new Sky products in the New Year.

- As we have said from the outset, our core priority is to offer the new Box to our most loyal Sky

customers first which we will do – but please be assured, this is not a forced migration, which

means those happy with their current Sky Box can retain it.

- And yes, I’m conscious that the new Sky Box has been a long time coming. Some of the reasons for

the delays are outside of our control – including Covid, chip set shortages and global supply chain

issues. We are currently undertaking rigorous final testing and fine-tuning, and we look forward to

starting customer trials very soon.

Slide – Delivery – Advertising

- Second, as also mentioned by Philip, we see significant opportunity in the advertising space. The

Mediaworks process confirmed the need for specialist expertise at senior levels to seriously go

after this high-margin revenue prize. With this in mind and to accelerate our plans, we have

brought in highly experienced and talented experts from across ‘the ditch’ as we leverage the

learnings of the likes of Foxtel Media from the highly-competitive Australian market place.

Slide – Delivery – Digital & Partnerships

- Third, for both our core subscription business and our renewed advertising lens, the importance of

data cannot be understated. We have access to an extraordinary amount of data about our

customers and their preferences, but there is much more we can do to unlock its power and

maximise this competitive edge, within the bounds of our privacy laws, of course! Partnering with

experts like Dot Loves Data will help us go faster, complimenting our internal capability.

- The focus on delivery also extends to our cost base. While growing our revenues remains vital, it is

our costs that we must control: split broadly between programming and non-programming cost

lines.

Slide – Costs: Programming

- Starting with programming (which includes the cost of the broadcasting rights, as well as

production and related people costs): as Philip referenced, we have stepped into higher costs as we

have secured key renewals and acquisitions in the past financial year.

- As with these recent deals, looking ahead to future content opportunities, we will be very

disciplined in our approach and highly cognisant of our strategic competitive advantage mentioned

earlier, in particular the power of our viewership data.

5

- This data confirms what content is valuable to customers, and therefore of value to us and,

ultimately, to you as shareholders, as it allows us to assess the return on investment over the life of

each rights negotiation.

- These advantages give us the confidence to be clear about what we need to hold exclusively (and

therefore to potentially pay a premium for) or we are happy to hold either on a non-exclusive or a

co-exclusive basis.

- And on the Production cost side, it’s simple: we will continue to review the right level of production

and cost efficiencies based on the event or content value – again, understanding what our

customers watch.

- With this approach in mind, in FY22 we delivered $17million of permanent savings from our

programming cost line.

Slide – Costs: Non-Programming

- In terms of our non-programming costs, last financial year, we delivered a further $12 million of

permanent cost reductions, and we are now embarking on the next phase of cost out.

- We talked about the first phase communicated in December 2021 as being the low hanging fruit

and we have now stepped onto the next rung of the ladder, looking right across our business at

ways we can be more cost-effective.

- As referenced here, we are being much more deliberate about areas where we can use partners to

achieve efficiencies. Our recent agreement with leading supply chain services provider Pacificomm

Group to take over our warehouse, repairs, freight and logistics work is a great example of this.

- You will see us doing more partnering and outsourcing in areas where we can drive efficiency

without compromising on our customer promise. In some instances, offshoring will be the most

effective way to access the talent we need to support our business given the challenges of finding

this talent locally, particularly in the technology sphere.

- The launch of Sky’s new Box will also play a part in reducing our costs base, with the Box roll-out

supporting a lower cost of acquisition – by enabling a greater mix of self-install and lower repairs

and maintenance cost. These are just two examples – both of which will drive lower capital

intensity.

Slide – Outlook and guidance

- Our twin focus on continuing to grow revenue while also reducing costs leads nicely to the outlook

for the current financial year.

- As we stand today, notwithstanding the delay in delivery of our new box and new Sky Pod, we

remain on track to deliver against the Revenue, EBITDA, NPAT and Capex guidance we provided at

6

the time of our full year results. As you can see, the dividend range has been increased following

today’s announced change to Sky’s Dividend Policy.

Slide – Sky Crew

- Delivering on these results takes enormous effort from our talented Sky Crew.

- We are very mindful of the economic headwinds that we are all facing and the importance of

securing key talent in these times impacted by scarcity of labour.

- To tackle this head on, we have just announced our salary review which included with an increase

of 8% for those earning less than $100,000 a year, and 5% for those earning up to $250,000.

- In addition, in respect of our benefits package, notwithstanding what you may have read in the

media, we are not taking away free Sky from our people, we are simply looking to adjust the way

our crew access this benefit so it reflects how they and their households prefer to view Sky content

– just as is the choice of our customers.

- And, we have also invested in the key work spaces at our Mt Wellington and vibrant new Viaduct

Harbour locations – a clear draw card for attracting and welcoming new talent to Sky, and ensuring

a great workspace for all of our crew.

Slide – Sustainability at Sky

- I’ve spent most of today speaking about our sustainability from a competitive advantage and

financial perspective, but we are equally committed to playing our part to support the environment

and the communities in which we operate.

- It goes back to the comment I made at the start – that we have a special and privileged role here at

Sky.

- Each day we are entrusted to deliver entertainment and much-loved sport to New Zealanders on

behalf of our partners.

- And we have communities and shareholders who expect us to act with integrity and empathy,

minimising our environmental impact and being a responsible corporate citizen.

- I haven’t got time today to speak about everything we aim to do in this space, but on this slide: I

draw your attention to our Sky for Good programme, where we use our platform, our people and

our presence in the community to make a difference including free Sky at Starship hospital and a

20-year partnership with the Special Children’s Parties that positively impact around 10,000

children each year.

- We have also made a commitment to track and reduce our impact on the environment, working in

partnership with environmental agency Toitū.

- I’m also really proud of our commitment to showcasing and supporting women’s sport, helping our

kiwi women and girls to ‘See the Possible’.

Slide –Strategy on a Page

- In closing, I want to join Philip in thanking you for your continued support as the owners of this

business. My team and I remain focused on continuing to not only turnaround Sky but to transform

it, all the while meeting customer needs and achieving the desired financial results for all of you.

- And now, before I hand back to Philip, I’d like to play you a short video (by our award-winning

creative team) highlighting our superb range of content. It speaks to the point I made earlier about

the depth and breadth of content we have on offer, and the clear competitive advantage that

brings.
