o Agri Division EBIT of $14.6 million, down 12% on pcp
o Corporate costs of $2.5 million, down 15% on pcp
• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $23.0 million, down 1% on pcp
• Operating cash flow of $20.2 million, up 3% on pcp
• Net debt of $39.0 million, up $13.8 million on FY22 year-end
• Interim dividend of 8.0 cents per share (an increase of 0.5 cps), up 7% on pcp
• FY23 NPAT forecast unchanged in the range of $48 to $52 million.
CEO David Mair reflected. “Our team has again worked hard to deliver a good result in a tough
environment. The rapid increase of inflation and general slowdown in demand is a different
challenge to what we faced 12 months ago. Our strategy of staying close to our customers, listening
carefully to their needs, and developing products to meet them whilst continuing to standardise and
improve process has been and will continue to be key to our success. Some of our businesses have
capitalised on the investment they have made to increase sales and returns whilst others have had
to adjust to slower demand. All have had to deal with increased costs which we have largely
recovered via productivity gains or adjusting prices, reflecting the value of our products.”
Mair emphasised that markets were mixed, and seasonal demand impacted the result. “In Europe
our businesses have faced significant increases in energy costs and a slump in the purchasing power
of the Euro. However, the increase in energy costs has spurred demand for some of our products
used in solar applications. Globally the rising costs and lower level of construction activity has
impacted both directly and indirectly, but the diversity and quality of our businesses has seen
growth in demand in other sectors.”
Mair added, “For the first time in several years our people have been able to travel enabling
important customer and partner relationships to be strengthened instead of a singular reliance of
digital communications. This will enable further growth and improvement for our business across
the world."
Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a record EBIT of $21.4 million, up 14% on pcp. Revenue grew
by 13%. “Strong revenue and earnings growth from our foam and vacuum systems businesses were
the highlight in the first half of the year. These results are the outcome of a multi-year focus to
understand customer needs and consistently develop, improve, and deliver market leading products
and solutions.” Mair further noted that this result more than offset unsurprisingly lower demand
experienced in some of Skellerup’s markets. “The impact of lower global demand negatively
impacted on sales of our potable water and flow control products. Sales of discretionary items like
tapware and appliances are down, and with supply chain congestion easing customers are also
reducing the level of inventory they hold.”
Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $14.6 million, was down 12% on pcp. Mair noted, “Dairy sales were
as we expected softer and in line with our Budget following a very strong finish to the prior year.
This lower demand naturally impacted production and some erosion of gross profit in the first half of
the year. Footwear sales into the NZ and the US markets remained strong, exceeding both our target
and pcp.”
Operating cash flow in the first half was up 3% on pcp but below target as due to an increase in
inventory. Mair said “We have maintained a cautious approach to mitigate risks of raw material
shortages and elongated shipping timeframes. With lower global demand these risks are generally
abating, and we will gradually reduce inventory in the second half of the year whilst managing the
impact of abrupt changes on our manufacturing partners.”
Skellerup’s balance sheet remains strong. Mair noted, “Our strong cash flow generation and the very
low level of debt we carried before investing in higher working capital over the past 18 months
means net debt remains low at just 19% of our net assets.”
Skellerup reaffirmed expectations for another record year with FY23 NPAT forecast to be in the
range of $48 to $52 million. Mair said “Markets will remain challenging; however we expect earnings
to be stronger in the second half of the year due to seasonal impacts and contribution from new
products used in hygiene, potable water and flow control applications. These new products add to
our strong foundation to deliver growth in the years ahead.”
Chair John Strowger said the first half result, and expectations for the full year, allowed the Board to
declare a 7% increase in the interim dividend to 8.0 cents per share, imputed 50% (the same level as
in the pcp). The dividend will be paid on 16 March 2023 to shareholders of record at 5pm on 03
March 2023.
“During the first half, the strength and resilience of our business has again been demonstrated.
Despite the global slowdown in demand, the skill, drive and commitment of our team to continually
improve and develop critical products has enabled Skellerup to sustain a trend of operating earnings
growth. Our global team are focused on growing sustainable earnings and shareholder returns.”

Chair and CEO Review
Skellerup has sustained its
strong forward momentum for
the first half, generating record
unaudited earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) of $33.5
million, up 3 percent on the
previous corresponding period
(pcp). For the six months ending
31 December 2022, Skellerup
recorded a net profit after tax
(NPAT) of $23 million, down 1
percent on pcp due to higher
interest and tax.
Skellerup continues to work closely
with customers (predominantly original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs))
to design and develop real solutions.
Skellerup’s essence is combining deep
material expertise, strong product and
tool capability, and proven manufacturing
process knowledge and experience. Being
able to deliver essential products that often
integrate multiple materials to demanding
and ever-changing regulatory standards is
Skellerup’s competitive advantage.
The team has worked hard to deliver a
strong result in tough conditions. The rapid
increase in global inflation and general
slowdown in demand is a new challenge.
Our strategy of working closely with
customers, listening carefully to understand
their needs, and developing products to
meet them, while continually striving to
standardise and improve our business
processes, remains key to our success.
With travel restrictions largely eased,
our people have been able to travel more
freely, strengthening their crucial customer
and partner relationships, enabling future
growth and improvements across our global
businesses.
Markets have been mixed, and seasonal
demand also impacted the result. In Europe,
Skellerup’s businesses there have faced
significantly increased energy costs and
a slump in the purchasing power of the
Euro. Yet increased energy costs have also
spurred demand for some of our products
used in solar applications.
Globally, rising costs and lower levels of
construction activity have impacted both
directly and indirectly, but the diversity and
quality of our businesses and our people has
seen growth in demand in other sectors.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT 2023
Industrial Division
Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a
record EBIT of $21.4 million, up 14 percent
on pcp. Revenue growth to $108.7 million,
up 13 percent on pcp, was underpinned by
high performance foam products and vacuum
systems, the outcome of a multi-year focus
to understand customer needs and develop,
improve and deliver market-leading products
and solutions.
The robust result more than offset anticipated
lower demand experienced in some Skellerup
markets, with the impact of lower global
demand negatively impacting sales of our
potable water and fl ow control products.
Sales of discretionary items like tapware
and appliances are down, and with supply
chain congestion easing customers are also
reducing their inventories.
Agri Division
Agri Division’s EBIT of $14.6 million was down
12 percent on pcp. Skellerup is the second
largest manufacturer of food-grade dairy
rubberware globally, and softer sales were in
line with budget expectations following our
very strong fi nish to the end of FY22.
Lower demand impacted production
resulting in some erosion of gross profi t in
the fi rst half of the year. Notwithstanding
this fl attening, footwear sales into the New
Zealand and United States markets remained
strong, exceeding both our target and pcp.
Dividend
Strong fi rst half earnings in diffi cult market
conditions allied to confi dent expectations
for our future have enabled the Board to
declare an interim dividend of 8.0 cents per
share, up 7 percent on pcp. The dividend
will be distributed on 16 March 2023 to
shareholders on the register at 5.00pm on 03
March 2023.
Outlook
Skellerup remains confi dent about its
position heading into the second half. Our
fundamentals for operating a sustainable
growth-oriented business – working closely
with customers and investing in our people –
provide a strong foundation for future growth.
Skellerup’s balance sheet remains strong,
with operating cash fl ow generation of $20.2
million, up 3 percent on pcp for the half
year, despite carrying more inventory to
mitigate longer lead times and supply chain
disruptions. The very low level of debt we
prudently carried – before investing in higher
working capital over the past 18 months –
means net debt remains low at just 19 percent
of our net assets.
We continue to expect FY23 NPAT to be in the
range of $48 to $52 million.

The Board is pleased with the contributions
of the Skellerup team. During the fi rst half,
the strength and resilience of Skellerup’s

and commitment of our team to continually
improve and develop critical products with
our customers has enabled Skellerup to
sustain a trend of operating earnings growth.
We remain focused on supporting and
developing our people to grow sustainable
earnings and shareholder returns.
