Fisher & Paykel Healthcare announces results for the first half of the 2023 financial year


Auckland, New Zealand, 29 November 2022 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

(NZX:FPH, ASX:FPH) today announced its results for the first half of the 2023 financial year.


For the six months ended 30 September 2022, total operating revenue was $690.6 million,

above the $670 million guided by the company in its August trading update.


While revenue was down 23% on the first half of the prior year (or 27% in constant currency),

this was a 21% increase on the comparable pre-pandemic period, being the first half of the

2020 financial year ($570.9 million). Net profit after tax for the first half was $95.9 million, a 57%

decline from the prior comparable period, or a 65% decline in constant currency.


Managing Director and CEO Lewis Gradon said, “Consistent with what we signalled in August,

first half revenue was down on the prior corresponding period as we lapped significant COVID-

19-driven demand. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, this represents solid growth.”


In the Hospital product group, which includes humidification products used in respiratory, acute

and surgical care, revenue for the first half was $438.7 million. This marks a decline of 35% on

the prior comparable period, or 37% in constant currency. This represents an increase of 24%

on the first half of the 2020 financial year. Of total Hospital product group revenue, 87% was

from the sale of consumables and 13% was from the sale of hardware.


“Customer stock levels of hospital consumables continued to reflect purchases of considerable

amounts during our prior half, in preparation for an Omicron hospitalisation wave which proved

less severe than originally anticipated,” said Mr Gradon.


“Through the first half, there are positive signs that our hospital customers are working through

their excess inventory holdings, and total group sales of our hospital consumables have

increased sequentially on a month-by-month basis since May. This trend has continued in the

second half to date.


“While we believe the number of hospitals which continue to be overstocked is declining,

ultimately, these stocking dynamics are short term, and the fundamentals of our sales strategy

remain the same. Our teams are committed to helping improve clinical practice and ensuring

the hardware our customers have purchased during the pandemic is used to benefit a broader

range of patients requiring respiratory support.”


In the Homecare product group, which includes products used in the treatment of obstructive

sleep apnea (OSA) and respiratory support in the home, revenue was $249.9 million, a 10%

increase over the prior comparable period, or 4% in constant currency. OSA masks and

accessories revenue increased 16% on the prior comparable period, or 10% in constant

currency.


“It has been pleasing to see a strong reception for our new Evora Full mask, which we began

selling into the United States in April following 510(k) approval,” said Mr Gradon. “Initial

feedback from clinicians and end users has been positive, and this provides added momentum

for our team working hard on a robust product pipeline.”


Gross margin was 59.8%, down from 63.1% in the prior period and below the company’s long-

term target of 65%. Although global freight rates are seeing prices soften, legs in and out of

New Zealand lag this trend, which continues to weigh on margin. The company has also been



impacted by manufacturing inefficiencies, as it carefully balances demand fluctuations while

managing manufacturing throughput and higher rates of sickness-related absenteeism in the

manufacturing workforce.


The company reached a number of infrastructure milestones over the half to support continued

growth. This includes the announcement in September that the company had entered into a

conditional agreement to purchase a 105-hectare site for an additional campus in Karaka,

Auckland. This acquisition is subject to Overseas Investment Office (OIO) approval, and the

company expects a response from the agency in the first half of the 2023 calendar year.


The company’s directors have approved an increased interim dividend of 17.5 cents per share

(H1 FY22: 17.0 cents per share). The interim dividend, carrying full New Zealand imputation

credit, will be paid on 21 December 2022 with a record date of 9 December 2022.


The company is also reactivating its dividend reinvestment plan, as noted in an additional news

release issued today, through which eligible shareholders can opt to invest all or part of their

cash dividends in additional shares with an applicable discount of 3%. Details of this plan are

available on the company website at www.fphcare.com/drp.


Looking ahead


“Our second half will be impacted by a number of factors, including:

• The rate of COVID-19 hospitalisations and the related intensity of respiratory support

required;

• The severity and duration of a Northern Hemisphere flu season;

• The magnitude of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) hospitalisation surges currently

experienced in some regions; and

• The impact of ongoing hospital staffing challenges on the surgical procedure backlogs in

many countries.


“Given these current uncertainties, we are not providing full-year quantitative revenue or

earnings guidance at this time.


“However, we expect second half revenue for the 2023 financial year will be higher than in the

first half.


“In our Hospital product group, pre-COVID-19 seasonal patterns have typically resulted in

higher sales of hospital consumables in the second half compared to the first half. In the 2018

and 2019 financial years (being our most recent years that were unimpacted by COVID-19), our

hospital consumable sales were 19% higher in constant currency during the second half

compared to the first half. In addition, it is likely that a proportion of customers have worked

through Omicron-driven consumables stock during our first half.


“In our Homecare product group, we believe the recent launch of our new Evora Full face mask,

combined with improving global supply of CPAP hardware, will contribute to continued growth

for the remainder of the year.


“Assuming current, slightly lower freight costs and reduced manufacturing inefficiencies,

constant currency gross margin for the second half would improve from the first half by

approximately 200 basis points,” said Mr Gradon.


The company is now targeting constant currency operating expense growth of approximately

8% for the full year.


“We remain committed to sustainable, profitable growth,” said Mr Gradon. “Our confidence in

the future is unchanged, evidenced by the significant level of investment in new product

development, our global sales force and our infrastructure.”

noninvasive ventilation, Optiflow nasal high flow and surgical applications) accounting

for 68% of Hospital consumables revenue.

• 10% growth in Homecare operating revenue, 4% growth in constant currency.

• Investment in R&D was 12% of revenue, or $84.2 million.

Half year review
SCOTT ST JOHN

Board Chair

LEWIS GRADON


Managing Director and

Chief Executive Officer

The word ‘commitment’ has long

held significant meaning for us. One

of our five company values, it has

resonated strongly in recent months

as we reflect on the efforts required

through the pandemic period. It

resonates further still as we move

forward, describing the focus on our

long-term aims and the discipline

required to achieve them.

Getting our life-preserving product out to

patients was paramount during the peak of

the pandemic – this came first, and everything

else flowed from that. As we said back in May

at our full-year result, we did not let these

events divert us from our long-term course,

and that is worth repeating now. We remain

committed to sustainable, profitable growth,

and our confidence in the future is unchanged.

We are investing significantly in that future

and, as we do so, our people are focused on

identifying the right near-term actions that

strengthen us for the long term.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

As we said in our trading update in August,

revenue was down on the prior period but

elevated compared with pre-pandemic levels.

For the six months ended 30 September 2022,

total operating revenue was $690.6 million,

23 per cent below the same period last year,

or 27 per cent in constant currency. This

represents a 21 per cent increase on the first

half of the 2020 financial year ($570.9 million).

Net profit after tax was $95.9 million, 57 per

cent below the same period last year, or 65 per

cent in constant currency.

INTERIM REPORT 2023

6Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Our Hospital product group comprised 64 per
cent of revenue at $438.7 million, representing

a 35 per cent decline on the prior year, or

37 per cent in constant currency. This marks

a 24 per cent increase compared to the

comparable pre-pandemic period, being the

first half of the 2020 year ($353.6 million).

Hospital consumables sales in constant

currency were down 19 per cent on the prior

year, but up 25 per cent on the first half of

2020. We believe customer stock levels have

been elevated during the first half, reflecting

hospital purchases of considerable amounts of

product in preparation for an Omicron wave

which, for the most part, proved less severe

than originally anticipated. Ultimately, we see

these stocking dynamics as short-term, and

the fundamentals of our sales strategy remain

the same. Our teams are committed to helping

improve clinical practice and ensuring the

hardware our customers have purchased is

used to benefit a broader range of patients

requiring respiratory support.

Our Homecare product group delivered

revenue of $249.9 million, representing growth

of 10 per cent on the first half last year or

4 per cent in constant currency. Pleasingly, our

OSA masks and accessories revenue increased

10 per cent in constant currency. The early

reception to our new Evora™ Full mask has

been very favourable. We received 510(k)

approval in the United States in April and have

since seen strong sales volumes and positive

user feedback. This adds to the momentum for

our OSA team who are working hard on a

robust product pipeline.

We have repeatedly signalled

the importance of long-term

infrastructure planning to help us

deliver on our sustainable, profitable

growth strategy and our aspirations

of doubling constant currency

revenue every five to six years. To take

advantage of the opportunities ahead

of us, we need more space, and we

took an important step in securing

this during the first half.

In September, we entered into a

conditional agreement, subject to

approval by the Overseas Investment

Office, to purchase a 105-hectare

site for an additional New Zealand

campus in Karaka, Auckland.

At more than double the size of our

current site, the Karaka campus would

afford us with significant room to

grow. Should we be successful with

our OIO application, development of

the new campus will occur gradually

over a 20 to 30-year period, with

a focus on earthworks and core

infrastructure over the next five years.

These plans reaffirm our confidence

in our long-term opportunities and

demonstrate our strong commitment

to R&D and manufacturing in

New Zealand.

UNLOCKING FUTURE GROWTH: Our proposed Karaka campus

INTERIM REPORT 2023

7Fisher & Paykel Healthcare

Gross margin for the half was 59.8 per cent,
down from 63.1 per cent in the prior period

and below our long-term target of 65 per cent.

Elevated freight rates remain a factor – major

global routes are seeing prices soften, though

legs in and out of New Zealand remain behind

this curve, with prices taking longer to

normalise. The half has also seen us manage

through manufacturing inefficiencies, as we

have been carefully balancing demand

fluctuations with manufacturing throughput

and higher rates of absenteeism in our

manufacturing workforce due to sickness.

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

In May, we introduced our latest anesthesia

products – Optiflow Switch™ and Optiflow

Trace™ – which provide even more compelling

reasons to use F&P’s Optiflow technology

during general anesthesia and procedural

sedation. Adding to our anesthesia salesforce

has been a clear priority in the months since

and will remain so going forward. Feedback

from anesthesiologists continues to be positive

and gives us confidence in both the benefit to

patients and the size of the market opportunity.

We are continuing with a controlled market

release of our new Airvo™ 3 nasal high flow

device in Australasia while seeking regulatory

clearances further afield. We believe the new

device is an attractive proposition, with a

closed loop system for targeted oxygen

delivery and an integrated battery to allow

for more portability through the hospital.

At our first half result last year, we signalled

plans to continue to invest in our infrastructure

to support growth. We have made significant

strides since, including our announcement in

September that we have entered into a

conditional agreement to purchase a

105-hectare site for an additional New Zealand

campus in Karaka, Auckland. This acquisition is

subject to Overseas Investment Office (OIO)

approval, and we expect a response from the

agency in the first half of 2023. If successful,

development of this new campus will occur

over a 20 to 30-year period.

Elsewhere, we saw the completion of our third

building in Tijuana, which adds an additional

50 per cent of space to our manufacturing

footprint in Mexico. We are also continuing

with earthworks for the fifth building on our

existing New Zealand campus in addition to

a multi-storey carpark.

We also indicated that we were investigating

options for an additional offshore

manufacturing location, and we can now

report that we have entered into a lease

agreement for a facility in Guangzhou, China.

Our presence in the city dates back almost

20 years, where we have a well-entrenched

sales operation serving the mainland. The

new facility is aligned with our distributed

manufacturing strategy, and our intent is to

manufacture a select range of products to

service local markets.

In May, we introduced our

latest anesthesia products

– Optiflow Switch™ and

Optiflow Trace™ – which

provide even more

compelling reasons to use

F&P’s Optiflow technology

during general anesthesia

and procedural sedation.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Earlier this year we articulated our intentions

in the form of a new Environmental and

Social Responsibility policy, making it clear

that our aim is to have a lasting positive

impact on society and the environment.

This statement of intent guides our newly

formed governance group, which is comprised

of subject matter experts from around the

business working together to identify

improvements and step-changes we can

make as a business globally. It is good to see

this group build momentum.

We have again achieved inclusion in the Dow

Jones Sustainability Indices for Asia Pacific and

Australia in addition to the FTSE4Good Index,

and were recently nominated as a finalist in the

Sustainable Business Leadership category as

part of the Deloitte Top 200 awards, which

celebrate outstanding performance among

New Zealand’s largest companies.

BOARD UPDATE

We were pleased to welcome Cather Simpson,

PhD, as a non-executive director in June,

bringing our board up to full strength in

advance of Geraldine McBride’s farewell at

the close of our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

in August. Cather is a valuable addition,

bringing extensive experience commercialising

scientific research.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors has approved an interim

dividend of 17.5 cents per share for the six

months to 30 September 2022, marking an

increase of 3 per cent from the first half of the

prior financial year. The dividend will be paid

on 21 December 2022 with a record date of

9 December. This year, we are re-activating

our dividend reinvestment plan through which

eligible shareholders can opt to invest all or

part of their cash dividends in additional

shares, with an applicable 3 per cent discount.

Details of this plan are available on our website.

PROFIT SHARE

Our people remain our strength and have

once again responded admirably during a

challenging year. To recognise their efforts,

the Board has approved a discretionary

profit-sharing payment of $4 million for

employees who have worked for the company

for a qualifying period.

THANK YOU

Again, we want to recognise the ongoing

efforts of those right across the healthcare

sector. While it has been pleasing to see a

normalisation of sorts after the peak pandemic

period, we acknowledge conditions remain

challenging. With travel restrictions relaxing,

our global teams have relished re-connecting

with our customers, suppliers and clinical

partners at events and healthcare facilities

throughout the world. This has reinforced how

our business is a relational one, and we look

forward to more of this.

We also wish to acknowledge the unique

challenges over the last six months for our

people as a combination of seasonal illnesses

and COVID-19 have meant extended periods of

home isolation and continued disruption to

work environments for many. Thanks to all

of you for your work in oftentimes trying

circumstances. And a final word of thanks to

our shareholders: your continued support

makes all this possible.

Operating revenue was $690.6 million, a 23% decline from the prior comparable

period (PCP) or 27% in constant currency. Hospital revenue decreased 37% in constant

currency as we lapped significant COVID-19 driven demand last year and apparent

elevated customer inventory levels during this period. Homecare revenue grew 4%

in constant currency.

Gross margin

Gross margin at 59.8% decreased by 533 basis points in constant currency from the

same period last year. Continued elevated freight costs and air freight utilisation this

period impacted constant currency gross margin by approximately 290 basis points

compared to pre-COVID-19 rates. Manufacturing inefficiencies were also experienced

this year as we balance demand fluctuations with manufacturing throughput.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased 8% (3% in constant currency) to $286.5 million,

reflecting ongoing expenditure to support global sales growth and development

of our product pipeline.

R&D spend of $84.2 million grew 11% reflecting underlying growth and the timing

of R&D and clinical projects. Over the long term we plan for R&D spend to grow in

line with constant currency revenue growth.

Financing expenses

The net financing expense increase reflects the exchange losses on the revaluation of

foreign currency interest bearing liabilities. Excluding the impact of foreign currency

revaluations, net financing expense was in line with the prior period.

Ta x

Our effective tax rate for the period was 16.1%, down from 26.3% in the prior period

reflecting foreign currency translation gains that are non-taxable. The R&D tax credit

this period of $7.6 million (Sep 2021: $7.4 million) represents the estimated eligible R&D

expenditure incurred during the period. Excluding the benefit of the R&D tax credit the

effective tax rate was 22.7% (Sep 2021: 28.8%).

FOREIGN CURRENCY IMPACTS
The Group is exposed to movements in foreign exchange rates, with approximately 99%

of operating revenue generated in currencies other than NZD as shown below.

US dollars 45%

Euros 20%

Australian dollars 6%

Japanese yen 6%

British pounds 3%

Canadian dollars 3%

Korean won 3%

Other currencies 9%

Chinese yuan 4%

New Zealand dollars 1%

Approximately 60% of COGS and over 50% of operating expenses are in currencies other

than NZD.

Net profit after tax was increased by $6.1 million compared to the prior period due to the

impact of foreign currency. During the period since 31 March 2022, the NZD weakened

significantly against major currencies.

The effect of balance sheet translations for the period resulted in an increase in operating

revenue of $18.6 million (Sep 2021: $2.5 million increase) and an increase in profit after tax

of $0.8 million (Sep 2021: $2.4 million increase). The hedging programme contributed a

pre-tax gain of $0.5 million (Sep 2021: $21.1 million gain).

The average daily spot rate and the average conversion exchange rate (i.e. the accounting

rate, incorporating the benefit of forward exchange contracts in respect of the relevant

financial year) of the main foreign currency exposures for the reported periods are set out

Free cash flows include lease liability repayments following the adoption of NZ IFRS 16.

Operating cash flows

Cash flows from operations for the period decreased to $1.9 million (Sep 2021:

$127.5 million). Working capital continued to be impacted by increases in raw materials

and finished goods inventories. We have been working to balance demand fluctuations

with manufacturing throughput and continuing supply chain disruption.

Capital expenditure

During the period, $124.8 million was spent on capital expenditure (excluding leased

assets), including earthworks and constructions costs across the East Tamaki and Tijuana

campuses. Spending also includes a $27.5 million deposit to acquire land for a second

New Zealand campus. This purchase is contingent on receiving Overseas Investment

Office (OIO) consent on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company and is

recorded in other receivables on the balance sheet. We continue to invest in production

tooling and equipment additions.

Dividends

Dividends paid of $129.9 million were 2% higher than the prior period.

Trade receivables increase to 30 September 2022 reflects balance sheet translation of

foreign currency receivable balances. Our debtor days were within the normal range at

42 days (March 2022: 41 days). Inventories balances have increased both in raw materials

and finished goods. Trade and other payables reduction includes timing associated with

key capital projects and payment of suppliers.

Property, plant and equipment increased by $87.0 million in the period. Additions

of $105.2 million and foreign currency translations were offset by $39.2 million of

depreciation. Intangible assets increased by $1.5 million, primarily due to patent

acquisition costs. Included in intangible assets is ERP system capital spending with

our global SAP rollout continuing over the next two to three years.

Other net assets/liabilities movements included a change in derivative financial

instruments from a net asset of $140.7 million at 31 March 2022 to a net liability of

$110.8 million at 30 September 2022. This is due to the currency volatility during the

period, with the corresponding offset in the cash flow hedge reserve. All currency

derivatives continued to be effective hedges. Net tax assets increased by $127.1 million

during the period, primarily reflecting the change in the net derivative financial

instruments balances.

NOTES – CONSTANT CURRENCY

Constant currency analysis is non–Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP)

financial information, that is not prepared in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents

to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). Constant currency information

has been provided to assist users of financial information to better understand and assess

the Group’s financial performance without the impacts of foreign currency fluctuations,

including hedging results.

Constant currency financial information is prepared each month to enable the Board

and management to monitor and assess the Group’s underlying comparative financial

performance without any distortion from changes in foreign exchange rates. Constant

currency information is prepared on a consistent basis for reported periods restated into

NZD based on “constant” exchange rates, typically the budgeted exchange rates for the

current year. This information excludes the impact of movements in foreign exchange

rates, hedging results and balance sheet translations.

The Group’s constant currency framework can be found on the company’s website

at www.fphcare.com/ccf. PwC perform assurance procedures over the constant

currency information.

New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2022

have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International

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

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). The Company and Group

are designated as profit-oriented entities for financial reporting purposes.

These consolidated financial statements do not include all of the notes normally included

in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report should be read in conjunction with

the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Presentation currency

These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD)

to the nearest hundred thousand dollars unless otherwise stated.

Accounting policies

All accounting policies have been applied on a basis consistent with those used

and described in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended

31 March 2022.

2. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS AND EVENTS FOR THE CURRENT PERIOD

The following significant transactions and events affected the financial performance and

financial position of the Group for the six month period ended 30 September 2022:

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of COVID-19

as a pandemic. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company’s focus has been on

manufacturing and supplying products that are directly involved in treating patients with

COVID-19. The Company has experienced significant volatility in demand for its products

over the last few years.

Management have assessed the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of the balance sheet.

Specifically, the carrying value of receivables, inventory and warranty exposure were

considered, with provisioning reflecting management’s best estimate of the impact based

on information available at the time of preparing these financial statements. There has

been no material impact on the balance sheet.

Foreign currency

As a result of currency volatility during this period, the liability relating to the Group’s

portfolio of derivatives has increased, with the corresponding offset in the cash flow

hedge reserve.

Capital expenditure

During the period, a member of the Group, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Properties Limited

(FPH Properties), entered into a conditional agreement to purchase 105 hectares of land

in Karaka for a second New Zealand campus for $275 million. The purchase is conditional

on Overseas Investment Office (OIO) consent being granted on terms and conditions that

are satisfactory to FPH Properties. A deposit of $27.5 million was paid in September 2022

and recognised in other receivables. Subject to OIO consent being granted on terms and

conditions that are satisfactory to FPH Properties, $189.5 million is expected to be paid in

the first half of FY24. An additional $43 million and $15 million will be payable in FY26 and

FY27 respectively. Additional borrowings will be used to fund the purchase.

In June 2022, a building construction contract was signed for a car park building on our

East Tamaki, New Zealand campus. Capital commitments at 30 September 2022 include

$63.9 million related to this project. To date, spending on this project totals $9.4 million.

The car park is expected to be operational in 2024.

Earthworks continue for the construction of a fifth building on our East Tamaki site.

To date, spending on this project totals $17.3 million.

Share capital

During the six months ended 30 September 2022, the Group issued 257,786 shares

under employee equity plans.

Funding

The Company had total available committed debt funding of $260 million as at

30 September 2022, of which approximately $157 million was undrawn. As at

30 September 2022, the weighted average maturity of committed borrowing facilities

was 1.6 years.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments are either carried at amortised cost, less any provision for impairment,

or fair value. The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities approximates fair value.

There have been no changes to the Group’s hedging policy during the period. The Group

enters into foreign currency option contracts or forward foreign currency contracts within

policy parameters to manage the net risk associated with anticipated sales or costs.

The Group generally applies hedge accounting to all derivative financial instruments.

All derivative financial instruments continue to be re-measured to their fair value. Derivative

financial instruments continue to be classified as being within Level 2 of the fair value

hierarchy and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.

Contractual amounts of derivative financial instruments were as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
To the shareholders of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OUR CONCLUSION

We have reviewed the consolidated financial statements of Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group),

which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2022, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months period

ended on that date, and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group do

not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 September 2022, and its financial performance and cash flows for the

six months period then ended on that date, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).

BASIS FOR CONCLUSION

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 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 consolidated financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial

statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. In addition to our role as auditor,

our firm carries out other services for the Group in the areas of executive remuneration benchmarking and providing market survey data, regulatory

tax compliance procedures in Mexico, and other assurance services in relation to constant currency disclosures. The provision of these other services

has not impaired our independence.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS’ FOR THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial

statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation

and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

INTERIM REPORT 2023

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REVIEW OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all

material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.

A review of consolidated 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 and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might

identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.

WHO WE REPORT TO

This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters which

we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the Shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is Keren Blakey.
