Turners delivers robust returns, despite challenging market
Key HY23 Financial Metrics (% v HY22):
Revenue $185.3m (+11%)
EBIT increased 2% to $26.1m
NPBT $23.4m (+1%)
NPAT $17.1m (+1%)
Earnings per share 19.8 cps (+1%)
Q2 dividend declared at 5.0 cps
Highlights
Record net profit before tax of $23.4m for HY23 slightly ahead of HY22 ($23.2m NPBT).
Auto retail and Insurance divisions grew operating profit.
Auto retail market share increased from 6.4% at HY22 to 8.2% year on year.
Car units sold increased through scaling up local sourcing, during a period in which the NZ used
car market was down 7.5%, which offset reduced industry margins.
Interest rate environment impacting Finance net interest margin as expected.
Finance arrears performing significantly better than market levels, and well provisioned for
any increase in arrears
Earnings diversification and resilience of business demonstrated in a challenging economic
and operating environment. Q1 impacted by Omicron, both in customer demand and staff
impact.
Record levels for both employee engagement and customer experience metrics. Employee
share scheme well received and aligns with shareholders value creation.
Based on our experience in the first half and early trading in H2 we expect FY23 NPBT to be at
or slightly above last year’s record result, with a projected FY23 dividend of 0.23 cps,
consistent with last year, representing a gross yield of 8.9% per annum (based on a $3.60 share
price).
Turners Automotive Group (NZX/ASX: TRA) delivered strong earnings in the six months to September 30
2022 (HY23) successfully navigating Omicron disruption and tightening economic conditions, including
rising inflation and interest rates, which impacted consumer spending and finance margins. The healthy
result reflects the inherent diversification of the business and strengthened positions of each core
market segment over recent years, providing greater resilience through the cycle.
Todd Hunter, CEO, said: “In a market where used car sales were down 7.5%, Turners grew market share
and achieved higher sales year on year, a credit to our auto retail network expansion, our award-winning
advertising and retail optimization strategy. To be able to maintain healthy returns to shareholders
during a difficult period is a tribute to our dedicated and highly engaged team, which once again
outperformed. The robustness of our diversified business has been demonstrated despite the industry
headwinds which we expect will continue into the second half of the year.”

Financial results
Reported NPBT, which is the basis for Turners’ full year guidance, increased 1% year on year to $23.4m
with net profit after tax (NPAT) at $17.1m, up 1%. Earnings per share for HY23 were 19.8 cps, up 1% on
the previous year. The Board declared a Q1 dividend of 5.0 cps, and a further 5.0cps has been declared
for Q2, taking HY23 dividends to 10.0 cps. This reflects the dividend policy to pay-out 60-70% of net profit
after tax (NPAT).
Grant Baker, Chairman, commented: “Considering the disruption of Omicron, during which up to 25%
of our operational staff were impacted, and the headwinds of higher interest rates and households
under an economic squeeze, we are encouraged with the results achieved in our first half. Turners
Automotive Group has become a sustainable, high-performing business.
“Undoubtedly, we will face tough economic conditions in the second half, but our geographic and
earnings diversification continue to provide resilience through the cycle. Car sales have held up well so
far in Q3, and margins are starting to improve. Our loan book is stable, although rising interest rates
will continue to put pressure on cost of funds. Claims in our Insurance business continue to track below
expectations. We are demonstrating that we can win market share and deliver growth through the
down cycle due to the success of our strategy, the quality of our portfolio and our incredible team. We
see opportunities during this time of adversity”

Refer to Appendix.
Turners’ strategy proves its worth
Our investment over recent years to diversify our business, as well as taking a leadership position in each
segment, continues to deliver results, and provide resilience in the face of tough conditions:
Auto Retail: market share gains through brand promotion and retail optimization initiatives. In
particular, Speed to Sale operational initiatives led to more sales on lower inventory. Damaged
unit sales were up 13% year on year.
Finance: our continued focus on targeting high-quality borrowers again saw more than 50% of
new lending in the premium risk business. Interest expense was up 106% to $5.6m resulting in
an expected compression in net interest margins. Arrears are stable.
Insurance: we made market share gains and claims ratios continued to improve. We have
almost completed our core system replacement programme, which will further improve
operational agility and future performance.
Credit Management: continues to face tough conditions, but we are well placed for a pick up
in activity in this space with debt load continuing to increase. We are making good progress in
our transition to more customer focused collection practices (resolution not consequences).

Award-winning Marketing
Gains in market share have been supported by our “Tina from Turners” brand campaign. In September
2022, Turners claimed the top award at the 2022 New Zealand Marketing Awards. Up against high calibre
competition Turners took home the Supreme Award, as well as Excellence in Brand Transformation
Strategy and Excellence in Consumer Products & Services Strategy. This was followed up in October with
two “gold” awards at the Advertising Effectiveness “Effie” Awards for Best Strategic Thinking and
Retail/Etail categories. The judges clearly love Tina as much as our customers do.
Update, Outlook and Guidance
Q3 Update: While we know economic headwinds will continue into the second half with interest rates
continuing to rise at unprecedented speed and consumer confidence impacted, we are well-placed to
continue to compete effectively in difficult market conditions:
o Auto retail: Car sales holding up well, margins improving, new site contribution
o Finance: Increasing impact of interest rate environment. Expecting some deterioration
in arrears Loan book stable.
o Insurance: Claims continue to track below expectations, and investment returns
improving
o Credit: Debt load recovering, but more slowly than expected.
FY23 guidance: We expect the Auto retail business to continue to grow strongly from our execution of
our retail optimisation strategy, however the impact of the interest rate environment will be more
pronounced in H2 FY23 and FY24.
Based on our experience in the first half and early trading in H2 we expect FY23 NPBT to be at or
slightly above last year’s record result. We anticipate full year fully imputed dividends of 23 cents per
share (FY22 23 cps) based on the current dividend payout policy of 60-70% of NPAT.

Appendix: Divisional results
Auto Retail: Revenue $129.6m +13%, Segment Profit $11.1m +8%
Revenue grew by 13% to $130m, reflecting market share growth, despite a 7.5% reduction in
used car market transactions from April to September, 2022. Registered dealers are at their
lowest level for almost nine years as government regulation and higher interest rates impact
the viability of smaller operators.
Turners continue to outperform with total owned units sold in HY23 up 11% over HY22, even
though our overall margin on cars we own was down 9% for the period. Retail unit sales were
up 7% to around 9,500, and wholesale auction unit sales were up 42% to around 9,500 units.
Gains in market share have been greatly supported by our Tina brand campaign, as mentioned
above. Meanwhile, Nelson and Rotorua auto retail centres are now both fully operational and
performing above expectations. These rapid results further validate the success of our
geographic expansion model. Expansion in Timaru, Napier and Tauranga in pipeline for FY24.
The business is operating off lower inventory levels with faster stock turn and is repositioning
type of stock to smaller and cheaper, anticipating future trends in a tighter market.
Finance: Revenue $29.2m +16%, Segment Profit $9.1m -9%
Finance had another strong six months, despite rapid interest rate rises which pressured
margins. Revenue for HY23 was $29.2m, up 16% on last year. NPBT was down 9% to $9.1m,
nonetheless a creditable result considering market conditions.
A focus on pricing and margin has been critical in dealing with the speed of interest rate rises.
Growth has moderated as quality and margin become higher priorities. Controlled lending
through our own Turners and Direct channels was up 13% in HY23 to $34m. Pleasingly Premium
Tier business accounts for more than 50% of our new business each month.
Credit policy has been tightened incrementally throughout HY23. Hardships are down more
than 90% from their FY22 peak.
Insurance: Revenue $21.6m +4%, Segment Profit $6.3m +8%
Market share gains continued to underpin policy sales despite challenging market conditions.
NPBT was up 8% to $6.3m on the back of revenue gains to $21.6m, up 4% on the same period
last year. Operating cost ratio was steady between 20%-21%.
Distribution arrangements are continuing to work well, including further digital enhancements.
Claims costs remain steady with procurement remaining a key strength and offsetting parts
inflation and labour rate increase.

We have reaffirmed AM Best credit rating for Insurance and Financial Strength rating at B ++
(Good).
Credit Management: Revenue $4.9m -14%, Segment Profit $1.4m -32%
Revenue decreased 14% to $4.9m, as COVID-19 continued to impact our collections results, this
time Omicron waves rather than lockdowns. Debt load is up 3% for HY23 to $63.4m, as market
wide credit metrics start to deteriorate. Debt value collected was down 8% to $18.7m as cost
of living pressures impacted consumers’ ability to address outstanding debts.
Our “Promises to Pay” kept rate has remained stable at 76%.
We are continuing to transition to a digital-based business, as well as transforming our
collections approach to be more customer-focused, centered on resolution rather than
consequence.

4 Outlook
There are some challenges, but we are in a strong position...
Competitive advantages...
•High trust brands in our stable
•Biggest buyer and seller of cars in NZ
•Unmatched national footprint
•Diversified sources of cars
•Agility in finance and insurance systems
•Technology capability and data advantages
•Highly engaged and capable team of people
Challenges
•Cost of living impact on consumer confidence
•Rapidly increasing interest rate environment
•New car supply chain issues
•Recruitment and retention of people
•Regulatory
36• HY23 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•Based on our experience in the first half and early trading in H2 we expect FY23 NPBT to be at or slightly
above last year’s record result.
•We anticipate full year fully imputed dividends of 23 cents per share (FY22 23 cps) based on the current
dividend payout policy of 60-70% of NPAT.
•Vehicle margins improving, and we expect these to hold at or near current levels. We anticipate some deterioration in
arrears as cost of living pressures become more material for people. Improving investment returns in insurance will
offset some of the material impact in funding costs being experienced through the finance business.
•We expect the Auto retail business to continue to grow strongly from our execution of our retailoptimisationstrategy,
however the impact of the interest rate environment will be more pronouncedin H2 FY23 and FY24.
Outlook –FY23 Guidance

Key Messages
38• HY23 RESULTS PRESENTATION
1.Continue to produce robust and reliable earnings, despite macro challenges
Following a number of strategic initiatives, and focus on de-risking, Turners continues to produce reliable and consistent earnings
and a sustainable dividend yield. Auto and Insurance are growing strongly offsetting the impact of the interest rate environmenton
Finance.
2.Continue to grow market share in key auto retail segment
With more branches in the pipeline, customers turning to “trusted” brands in times of uncertainty and a diversified sourcing model
Turners is well positioned to widen its competitive moat in the used vehicle segment.
3.Used car market is mostly needs based...lots of market resilience in this segment
20% of NZ vehicle fleet is 20 years or older...this is over 830,000 cars that are at the end of their life.
4.We are very conscious of NZ and global economic challenges over the next 12-24 months
We are aware of the challenges and still have clear plans to mitigate these. We still see opportunities in the markets we operate in,
and are well positioned to take advantage of these. The strong will get stronger.

Motor Trade Finance
Turners Finance Limited has a finance faclity wih Motor Trade Finance Limited (MTF). MTF provided the services of a finance company, including funding, on a
full recourse basis.
The Group has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) under which it securitises finance receivables through The Turners Marque
Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust). Under the facility, BNZ provide funding to the Trust secured by finance receivables sold to the Trust from the finance segment.
The facility is for a 1 year term that will be renewed annually. The facility is for $331m.
The Trust is a special purpose entity set up solely for the purpose of purchasing finance receivables from the finance sector with the BNZ funding up to 89% (30
September 2021 & 31 March 2022: 92%) of the purchase price with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group. The New Zealand Guardian
Trust Company Limited has been appointed Trustee for the Trust and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee. The Company is the sole
beneficiary.
The Group has the power over the Trust, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trust and the ability to use its power over the Trust
to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trust. Consequently the Group controls the Trust and has consolidated the Trust into the Group's financial
statements.
The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do not qualify for
derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.
During the reporting period $125.6m finance receivables were sold to the Trust (30 September 2021: $116.0m; 31 March 2022: $247.1m). As at 30 September
2022 the carrying value of financial receivables in the Trust was $354.2m (30 September 2021: $296.8m; 31 March 2022: $329.9m).
In September 2022 the Group has a syndicated funding facility, including a 1 year working capital facility, with the Bank of New Zealand and ASB Bank, a self
liquidating trade finance facility and three year term facility with ASB Bank and a securitisation facility with the Bank of New Zealand.
The bank borrowings are secured by a first-ranking general security agreement over the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding DPL Insurance
Limited, Turners Finance Limited and EC Credit (Aust.) Limited. The Group's securitisation financing arrangement is described under finance receivables.
