Agenda
It has been an eventful first half of FY23 at Vulcan, including

the purchase of Ullrich Aluminium, the largest acquisition

our company has made in its history.

Our business performed well despite an expected more

testing environment than our last financial year. Vulcan’s

1H FY23 results still represent one of the best periods for our

company after a record FY22. The team at Vulcan have the

tools, skills and experience to thrive through challenging

conditions on our journey of growth.

We are excited by the opportunities to create long-term

value for all of our stakeholders.

VULCAN.COVULCAN INTERIM REPORT 2023 PRESENTATION

• Revenue lift in 1H FY23 included first-time contribution from
our acquired aluminium business and 9% year-on-year (YoY)

increase in our Steel and other Metals operations

• Excluding aluminium, overall average revenue per tonne was

up 28% YoY in 1H FY23, while volume declined by 15% YoY

• Underlying active trading accounts in 1H FY23 improved

since FY22

• Overall gross profit dollar per tonne improved 30% due to

more favourable revenue mix. Overall gross margin percentage

declined 5.4% YoY to 35.9% in 1H FY23 due to higher product

costs and selling prices

• Adjusted EBITDA was down slightly in 1H FY23, with the decline

in pre-existing operations offset by NZ$23m contribution from

our acquired aluminium business

• The YoY decline in 1H FY23 operating cash flow was due

to increased investment in inventory

• Rolling 12-months ROCE declined to 24.0% in 1H FY23 from 35.9%

in 1H FY22 due to the acquisition of our aluminium business, the

timing of working capital movements and lower earnings in our

Steel and Metals businesses

decline in volume and increase in operating costs

Outlook

& Guidance

03

24

VULCAN.COVULCAN INTERIM REPORT 2023 PRESENTATION

Outlook
• As outlined in August last year with our full year FY22 results, we

expected the present financial year to be more challenging as the

market begins to normalise from peak demand trading conditions

arising from COVID-19, and as economic headwinds including higher

interest rates begin to impact on the wider economy and our business

• While we are encouraged by our margin performance, the demand

conditions observed in 1H FY23 are not expected to materially improve

in 2H FY23 across the Australian and New Zealand markets

• With current monetary policy settings, current business conditions

and the uncertainty surrounding New Zealand’s national election in

October 2023, there are risks of further weakening in the New Zealand

economy

• The recent weather-related events in the northern region of

New Zealand may cause ongoing disruption to trading activity in

the short term

• There remains ongoing inflation pressure on our operating cost base

across Australia and New Zealand.

• The demand for steel and metal products globally in 2023 is expected

to increase from levels observed in 2022, as business activity in China

begins to recover from COVID-19

• Our aluminium business has performed well. Our goal is to maintain

the present momentum in the remainder of FY23

Outlook & Guidance

Earnings Guidance

• Based on current view of market conditions and recent trading,

we have narrowed our FY23 EBITDA guidance range to NZ$215m -

NZ$230m from previously NZ$215m - NZ$235m.

• Combined with depreciation and amortisation and funding costs,

we expect NPAT to be between NZ$95m and NZ$109m from previously

NZ$93m -NZ$107m.

• With the ongoing economic and market volatility, we will update our

guidance as appropriate.
