MOVE Logistics Group – 1H23 Results
Company Announcement
23 February 2023
MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP 1H23 RESULTS
Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has today released its
unaudited result for the six months ended 31 December 2022 (1H23)
1
.
The result reflects investment into growth initiatives and solid contributions from the Contract
Logistics and International businesses, offset by a disappointing result from the Freight business, as
the Improvement programme takes longer than originally anticipated to complete.
The company’s primary focus remains on resetting and strengthening the core business. A digital
transformation is underway and investment is being made into other growth initiatives including
commencing the new Oceans operations and expanding MOVE’s footprint in priority customer
sectors.
Economic conditions continued to impact on the business during 1H23, with increasing inflationary
pressure, driver shortages, higher absenteeism due to Covid and the impact of adverse weather on
customers across a range of sectors including agriculture and infrastructure.
Revenue for the six months was $169.5m, down 4% on the prior comparative period (pcp) following
the contraction of the Freight customer base in FY22 to address margin. Freight rates are now better
aligned to the market and further work is underway to improve efficiency and rebuild the customer
base and volumes. Contract Logistics delivered a solid revenue result in line with the prior year,
while International revenue was up 26% off a smaller base.
Normalised EBITDA of $21.9m
2
included investment of $1.6m in growth strategies. In addition, as
part of the Freight Improvement programme, costs have increased as MOVE has strengthened its
network capability.
Reported net loss after tax including discontinued operations was $1.5m
3
and includes non-trading
adjustments of $1.0m pre-tax related to goodwill impairment. MOVE has a reported normalised net
loss after tax of $1.8m (before non-controlling interests).
MOVE has a robust balance sheet with strong operating cashflows and an improved cash conversion
rate for the six months. As at 31 December 2022, net debt was $21.6m, with undrawn facilities of
$20m for the company to continue executing its strategic plans.
Looking Forward
MOVE was pleased to welcome experienced transport and logistics sector executive, Craig Evans, as
CEO from 1 February 2023. Craig was most recently head of Mainfreight’s New Zealand operations.
He will lead the execution of MOVE’s strategy across the group, working with MOVE’s team of more
than 1,200 people.

All financials in NZD. The company has reported on continuing operations which exclude Specialist due to the planned
divestment of this division. 1H22 results have been restated to exclude discontinued operations.

Normalised EBITDA excludes non-trading adjustments of $1.0m pre-tax related to goodwill impairment (1H23 EBITDA
before non-trading was $20.9m). Further details are included in appendix to the MOVE Logistics Group 1H23 presentation.

Including discontinued operations; attributable to owners of the company
Craig said: “We are on a journey to position MOVE as a solutions-driven transport and logistics
business and a leader in our industry. Our teams offer a wealth of experience and energy that
supports our goal to deliver a high value proposition for our customers and shareholders. While
there is still work to do, we have multiple initiatives underway as we focus on working our assets
smarter, investing in what matters, and driving returns for our business.
“We recognise that challenging trading conditions will surround us in 2H23, further exasperated
after the recent adverse weather events. Our teams have been working tirelessly to ensure the
continuation and quick return of our services and networks during this time and our thoughts are
with all New Zealanders who have been affected.
“A tight focus on cost control, excellent customer service, and a culture of innovation and inclusivity
will help support our business through the economic cycle. Investment in growth initiatives such as
digital transformation and the new trans-Tasman shipping service demonstrates a changing mindset
driven by our team”.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. REPORTING ENTITY
The core operations of MOVe Logistics Group Limited (“MOVe Logistics” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively
“the Group”) are in the New Zealand logistics sector. These include general transport, bulk liquids, heavy haulage,
shipping, warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding, national and international household removals and storage.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC
Reporting Entity under part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is dual listed with its primary listing
of ordinary shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a foreign Exempt
Entity on the Australian securities exchange (ASX).
During the period the Group incorporated in Singapore a 100% owned subsidiary (MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited)
whose principal activity is trans-Tasman shipping services. This entity is included within the International segment (refer
note 5).
On 1 November 2022 MOVe (NZL) Limited and MOVe (McAuleys) Limited were amalgamated into MOVe Freight Limited.
The registered office of the Company is at 330 Devon Street East, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The interim financial
statements have been reviewed, not audited, and were approved for issue by the MOVe Logistics Board of Directors on 22
February 2023February 2023.
1.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2022 has been prepared
in accordance with accounting standards IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
They have also been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly,
this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public
announcements made by MOVe Logistics during the interim reporting period.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements, unless disclosed below are consistent
with those used in the previously published audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30
June 2022. There were no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 July 2022 that would have a
material impact on the Group.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented in
New Zealand dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional and the presentation currency of all companies in
the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited, whose functional currency is United States dollars.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
a. Impairment of Goodwill
The Group tests intangible assets for impairment to ensure they are not carried at above their recoverable amounts
• At least annually for goodwill
• Where there is an indication that the assets may be impaired (which is assessed at least each reporting period)
These tests for impairment are performed by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash generating units (CGU’s)
through probability weighted value in use calculations using cash flow projections based on a five-year period. This is
consistent with the method used as at 30 June 2022. During the six months to 31 December 2022 MOVe Freight Limited
CGU’s goodwill balance of $1.027m was fully impaired as a result of an overall decrease in sales and a loss of a key
customer contract ($14m in sales per annum). The impairment charge is recognised in the non operating expenses in the
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. No other class of assets have been impaired for this CGU.
The Group concluded that there are no indicators of impairment for any of the other CGU’s at 31 December 2022.
Management exercises judgement in confirming the carrying value of goodwill, considering a wide range of inputs
including the state of the industry and market movements.
The key assumptions for the MOVe Freight Limited value in use calculations are summarised below:

* Probability weighted
The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU considering the time value of
money and individual risk of the underlying assets. The discount rate is calculated based on the specific circumstances
of the CGU and its operations and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). At 31 December 2022
the Group applied a WACC that was assessed by an independent third party. This post-tax discount rate was applied to
post-tax cash flows.
The long-term growth rate is based on growth in GDP, market conditions and opportunities for growth within the industry.
The right of use assets have been included in the carrying amount of net operating assets that have been tested for
impairment.
Future revenue projections were based on the new base line sale post the loss of contract and incorporating anticipated
opportunities for growth in sales in line with Management’s focus to fill capacity in the freight network.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
4. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”)
and comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
These interim financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit before income taxes from continuing operations (a GAAP
measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, share of loss of associates,
loss on sale of investment in associates, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs and share acquisition costs (non
operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
• Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit before income taxes from continuing operations (a GAAP
measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, share of loss of associates, loss on sale of investment in
associates, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs and share acquisition costs (non operating expenses) as
reported in the financial statements.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding
of the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of
business units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute
for measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable
to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net loss after tax from continuing operations:

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
The Group has made the decision that the eleven operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Executive
Director can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard
to the nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of
capital, the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.
In addition to GAAP measures, the Executive Director also uses non-GAAP measures (EBITDA and EBIT) to assess the
commercial performance of the segments. The reportable operating segments have been determined as:
INTERNATIONAL
This segment includes international freight forwarding, shipping and agency services across a broad range of industries.
SPECIALIST
This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.
In May 2022, the Group announced its intention to undertake a formal sales process to investigate the market interest in
the sale/asset disposal of its subsidiary company MOVe Specialist Lifting & Transport Ltd which operates in the Specialist
segment. The Specialist company has been classified as held for sale and is a discontinued operation under NZ IFRS 5 -
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Entities are required to measure non-current assets and
liabilities that are held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
At the time of reporting there has been no offer accepted for the sale of this Specialist company. The Group is continuing
with its disposal plan.
FREIGHT
This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide
range of freight types.
CONTRACT LOGISTICS
This segment specialises in contracted solutions providing services for customers including warehouse and supply chain
capability and delivery of bulk liquids.
CORPORATE
This segment includes our corporate services function.
Comparative information has been re-presented from that presented in 31 December 2021 interim report due to
discontinued operations as noted above.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury
function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment
revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.
The Group has a diverse range of customers from various industries, with only one customer contributing more than
10% of the Group’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Contract Logistics segment.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
Independent auditor’s review report
To the Shareholders of Move Logistics Group Limited
Report on the interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Move Logistics Group Limited (the Company)
and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as at
31December 2022, and the consolidated interim statement of profit or loss & other comprehensive
inc
ome, the consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and the consolidated interim
statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and significant accounting policies and
other explanatory information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying interim financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all m
aterial respects,
the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and cash
flows for the period then ended, 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 r
eview 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 interim 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. Other than in our capacity as auditor we
have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group.
Responsibilities of Directors for the interim financial statements
The Directo
rs of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair
presentation of these interim 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 interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due
to fraud
or error.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim 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 interim 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 interim 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 a
re 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 interim financial
statements
