SCOTT TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES FY23 HALF YEAR RESULTS: FOCUS ON

CORE SECTORS DELIVERS SALES AND PROFIT GROWTH

• The Engineering Scott to High Performance 2025 (Scott 2025) strategy delivers continued

growth through focus on its core sectors of meat, materials handling and logistics (MHL), and

mining, where it has proven, world class technology with strong commercials.

• Group revenue (from continuing operations) was up 11% to $127m, margins grew from 22%

to 26% despite inflationary and supply chain pressures. EBITDA increased 20% to $15m while

net profit after tax (from continuing operations) was up 66% to $8m.

• The sales and services of its three core sectors delivered 77% of group revenue and 92% of

margin.

• Forward work remained strong, particularly across meat and MHL, combined with ongoing

demand for the higher margin mining products, BladeStop products and service businesses.

• Dividend of 4.0 cents per share.

Automation and robotics solutions provider, Scott Technology Limited (NZX: SCT), has today released

its results for the six months to 28 February 2023 (HY23).

The Scott 2025 strategy has continued to underpin the business’ focus and investment in the growth

of its three core sectors of meat, materials handling and logistics (MHL) and mining. It was pleasing to

see this focus generate growth across revenue ($127m, +11%), margin percentage (26%, +372 basis

points), and EBITDA ($15m, +20%).

The service business across all sectors also experienced significant growth in the half year, up 22% on

the prior comparative period (pcp). Underlying the improved margin percentage, were mix

improvements, headlined by BladeStop sales growth and increased Rocklabs aftermarket volumes and

fewer high risk, non-core projects.

The business’ sales pipeline remains ahead of expectation, with $184m in forward work comprising

several MHL projects, continued strong mining and meat product orders, as well as more progress in

secured service contracts.

Scott Technology CEO, John Kippenberger, says he’s pleased with the business’ solid H1 performance.

“Global demand for automation remains strong as markets continue to experience labour shortages.

Our technical expertise, sales capability and clear strategic focus has enabled us to capitalise on this

demand, delivering another strong first half year. I’m extremely proud of the team as we’ve worked

collectively to deliver these results despite ongoing inflationary and supply chain pressures.”







ESG update

Momentum behind Scott’s ESG strategy has continued to grow in H1 FY23, with strong engagement

at every level of the organisation and deep support at a Board and Executive level. Good progress has

been made against each of the three pillars as Scott lives its commitment to playing a role in building

a better world.


People

Employee health, safety and wellbeing is the highest priority for Scott and good progress has been

made in all the key metrics in H1. Increased lead indicators such as hazard reporting, have led to a

significant decrease in both the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIR) and Total Recordable Injury

Frequency Rate (TRIFR) in the first half of FY23.


The recent engagement survey results saw Scott’s highest ever level of participation (78%), coupled

with the highest ever employee engagement score, at 83%. Employee retention remains high and

turnover has reduced on the H1 FY22 period.


Finally, in March, as part of its commitment to encouraging women into engineering, Scott was proud

to announce a partnership with the University of Canterbury Engineering School. The partnership sees

the launch of the Scott Technology Women in Engineering Scholarship which will provide financial

support and a paid internship opportunity to a female engineering student. Scott is also sponsoring

the final year project which sees four final year engineering students take on a year-long project within

the Scott business.


Purpose

As part of Scott’s purpose of building a better world, the business is committed to educating its

partners on how they too can play a role. In February, Scott hosted a climate change and carbon

emissions seminar for its ANZ suppliers. This was well received with 100 suppliers in attendance and

generated extremely positive feedback.

Place

Following the successful carbon footprinting of its Europe and ANZ businesses in FY22, H1 FY23 saw

Scott collect the carbon data for its China and USA businesses. This is now in the process of being

independently audited. Once auditing is finished, Scott will have a complete carbon footprint for the

group.


Kippenberger, says: “I’m extremely proud of the progress we are making in ESG. Our strategy is only

in its second year, yet the engagement, passion and support from our people is immense. This is

reflected in our progress. I’m looking forward to sharing our full year achievements in this space as we

continue to do our bit to build a better world.”

Receipt of wage subsidy


Revenue for the half year increased 11% on the prior comparative period (pcp) to $126.5m, as Scott’s

strategy of generating more revenue from repeatable core products and services continued to deliver

sales growth.

Group margin grew from 22% to 26% due to the improved mix, and mix of repeatable core products

and services, despite the still present inflation, supply chain pressures and talent availability

challenges.

This strategically driven revenue and margin approach has resulted in EBITDA growth of 20% and

generated $14.6m of EBITDA for the period.

Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period was $7.8m, +66% on a like for like basis versus the pcp.

Operating cash flow of $26m was higher than pcp due to the strong underlying performance of the

business but also the timing of significant cash deposits relating to large projects won, which in turn

boosted t he Group’s net cash position to $12.8m.

In recognition of the ongoing progress made by the company, the Directors declared an (unimputed)

dividend of 4.0 cents per share, payable on 11 May. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan will apply.

Core sectors

The Scott 2025 strategy emphasises the imperative of growing sales through product areas where

Scott has established world-leading technology and away from the more bespoke design projects

which are unproven and present higher risk to Scott.

This focus has seen core sector revenue gr ow by 18% in the period and move from 73% to 77% of total

group revenue.

Meat processing

• Revenue up 10% primarily from continued strong sales of the BladeStop safety

bandsaw, which grew by 24% in the period. The service business in meat again gr ew

strongly, up 56% on pcp, whilst delivering further margin growth at 35%.

• The pipeline and forward order book for meat products and service remains strong as

Australasian lamb processors continue to invest in the Scott Lamb Primal product

(+$15 million per unit), our suite of smaller lamb products ($0.5m - $1.5m) and global


meat processors continue to buy the Scott BladeStop bandsaw to drive efficiency and

staff safety.

• The latest Primal order (together with a firm pipeline) from New Zealand lamb

processor Silver Fern Farms is another demonstration of the company’s long-standing

relationships with industry-leading companies looking to secure a safer, more

efficient lamb processing line.

• Early-stage progress has been made on the beef automation project. With the

learnings gathered and technology developed to date, the need for rescoping of the

project has been identified. This will allow for staged commercialisation of the

automated beef boning technology. The next stage will see Meat & Livestock

Australia, Scott, and new partner JBS, focus on vision technology.

Materials handling and logistics (MHL)

• This sector largely comprises conveyors, automated palletising and sortation

equipment which operates in the warehousing operations of the large food

manufacturers and related industries. Customers include industry leaders such as

Danone, Pfizer and McCain Foods Ltd.

• Having adapted to the challenges of the Ukraine war and supply chain crisis, MHL has

delivered impressive growth of 39% on pcp and its importance to Scott is reflected by

it being almost half of total core revenue.

• The growth is coming from both of Scott’s key markets for MHL, Europe and the US.

• Having done well to maintain revenues during the COVID, supply chain and Ukraine

war events, Europe has returned to growth (+10%) in the period and continues to

maintain a significant ($44m) forward order book which includes a $12m installation

at Clarebout’s new facility in France and $6m of new business with Slovenian Ice

Cream producer Incom Leone.

• Growth in MHL revenue and margins in US and Europe follows the successful change

in management structure to bring the US business under the leadership of Scott

Europe. This enables greater focus on the US market as global processor relationships

from Europe are extended into the US.

• MHL service margins are of particular note, growing to 40% versus the pcp of 37%.

Mining

• Anchored off strong and reliable Rocklabs sample preparation sales, the mining sector

continues to be a core part of the Scott group. These products are well proven in the

large global mining sector and produce high margins given they are locked box design

and cost.

• This sector had been growing at +20% CAGR but the Ukraine war forced a withdrawal

from sales to a well-established dealer in Russia. As a result, revenue has fallen 8%

compared to the pcp.

• A focus on price, product mix, aftermarket growth and operational efficiency, has

seen margin rise further to now be in excess of 45% and as a result, despite the

revenue drop, margin dollars have increased slightly.

• Through a structured prototyping processing Scott is developing a modular product

to serve the high-complexity, and therefore historically high risk, end-to-end

automated laboratory systems. This strategy is well proven at scale, producing high

volume outputs, at quality, accuracy and efficiency for the large mining companies

and independent laboratories.


• This modular product is in the early stages of commercialisation.

Service and aftermarket business

Scott’s strategy of building its service and aftermarket business has been important for customers,

maintaining Scott machine accuracy and reliability, and for shareholders as it provides important

recurring revenue and lucrative margins.

The service business underpinning the core business segments saw strong growth of 22% in the

period. This is 31% of the total revenue of the core business, with margin growing to 40%.

We have seen this important stream continuing to deliver sustainable profit growth as our customers

look to the specialist skills of Scott technicians to support their own maintenance teams on what is

often highly complex Scott equipment.

The service business also contains a strong stream of high margin recurring consumables.

Service revenue also grew across the total group (including non-core business) by 22% and continued

to deliver strong margins of 39%. This demonstrates the importance of the s ervice / aftermarket

business to the overall performance and profitability of Scott.

Regional business update


Scott New Zealand – Strong core performance as global hub for meat and Rocklabs

• Revenue growth from contract with Silver Fern Farms and subsequent commencement of

build for a Lamb Primal machine for their Finegand plant.

• Scott’s productisation strategy has led to sales of other meat products to the likes of Silver

Fern Farms and JBS in Australia with several further orders pending.

• Despite Russia sanctions weighing on sales volumes, New Zealand as the global hub for

Rocklabs, has managed price, mix and aftersales to maintain margin dollars.

Scott Australia – Revenue drops but margin percentage increases with move out of complex mining

systems

• The most significant contributor to the revenue fall is the tail of the strategic withdrawal from

the last of the large complex legacy projects. In turn this has improved the margin percentage

of the region from 19% to 30%.

• Investment in the capacity and capability of service has seen revenue double in the period,

with the greater utilisation of staff pushing up margin.

Scott Europe – Continued strong BladeStop and MHL converts large forward work to revenue

• Revenue stepped up delivering elevated growth of 34% as the COVID and supply chain

pressures began to ease, allowing faster conversion of the large forward order book.

• MHL sales grew by 14% whilst new business in the period of $30m across customers such as

the new Clarebout french fries factory and an ice cream plant for new customer Incom Leone,

meant the region retained a significant forward order book of +$44m.

• Meat revenue grew 68% to $7m as a further 70 BladeStop machines were sold. This included

aftermarket sales of $1.6m at +40% margin, which was up 75% on the back of a growing install

base which now stands at 446 units.

• Europe also enjoyed growth from the sale of two appliance line projects which were

manufactured by Scott China delivering good margins for the group.

Scott North America – Leadership change brings stability and focussed growth

• With the change in structure to bring North America underneath the leadership of Scott

Europe, revenue doubled, and profitability has stabilised.

• Growth has come in the form of a second significant customer for our proprietary Poultry

Trussing product, Costco Wholesale.

• Winning the Innovation Showcase at the recent International Production and Processing Expo

in Atlanta has seen significant growth in enquiries for the Poultry Trusser.

• AGV sales have grown by 35% in the period from new business centred around our core

capabilities and with blue chip organisations including Microsoft and Gulfstream.

• BladeStop sales remained strong in what is our largest installed market with unit sales being

up 21% on pcp.

Scott China – Provided manufacturing capacity to Scott Group and secured significant forward work

• Despite being down in revenue for the period, China has been fully utilised, manufacturing

appliance lines for the wider group for delivery into South America and Europe.

• Two recent and significant domestic contract wins for Midea ($13m), along with

manufacturing support for large meat and appliance builds for other regions, will see China

fully utilised through to the end of the financial year.

Scott Technology Ltd

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

All accounting policies have been applied on a basis

consistent with those used in the audited financial

statements of Scott Technology Limited for the year

ended 31 August 2022. These Interim Financial

Statements should be read in conjunction with the

policies disclosed in the annual financial statements.

The Group has adopted all mandatory new and amended

standards and interpretations. None had a material

impact on these financial statements.

There are no new or amended standards that are

issued but not yet effective that are expected to have a

material impact on the Group.

RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD

COMPARATIVES

Segments and Cash Generating Units (CGUs)

The previously reported segment and CGU of Australasia

was split in the second half of the 2022 financial year

into the new segments and CGUs of New Zealand and

Australia. As a result of the split of New Zealand and

Australia, the interim 2022 reported segment and CGU

of New Zealand and Australia has been split out in Note

2 Revenue and Note 3 Segment Information in order to

report comparative figures for the new segments/CGUs

of New Zealand and Australia.

Segment Reporting - Sources of Revenue

by Industry

For the period ended 28 February 2023, the Group has

redefined its sources of revenue from contracts with

customers from Systems, Products and Services to revenue

by industry, namely Meat, Mining, Materials Handling, and

Rest of Business, which better reflect the specific nature

and application of Group's systems technology, products

and services across its geographic manufacturing segments

and CGUs. The sources of revenue are also allocated

between sales and service revenue across these industries.

The main impact of this reclassification is a reallocation

of revenue between the old and new categories.

Comparative figures for the six month period ended

28 February 2022 and 12 months ended 31 August

2022 included under Note 2 Revenue from Contracts

With Customers have been restated in order to report

comparative figures under the new classifications.

1. SUMMARY OF

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The unaudited interim financial consolidated financial

statements (Interim Financial Statements) presented are

those of Scott Technology Limited (“Company”) and its

subsidiaries (“Group”).

The Company is a profit oriented entity, registered in New

Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a reporting

entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013 and its annual financial statements comply with these

Acts. The Company is listed with NZX Limited and its ordinary

shares are quoted on the NZX Main Board.

The Group’s principal activities are the design, manufacture,

sales and servicing of automated and robotic production

lines and processes for a wide variety of industries in New

Zealand and abroad.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in

accordance with the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules.

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in

accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in

New Zealand (“NZ GAAP”). The Interim Financial Statements

also comply with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and

other applicable financial reporting standards as appropriate

for profit orientated entities. They also comply with

International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

basis of historical cost, except where otherwise identified.

The presentation currency used in the preparation of the

financial statements is New Zealand dollars and all values are

rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000).

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Group uses operating earnings/ (loss) before interest, tax,

and depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), and Net Tangible

Assets per ordinary shares (at period end) to describe

financial performance as it considers these line items provide

a better measure of underlying business performance.

These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning

prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be compatible to

similarly titled amounts reported by other entities.

Segment revenues and results

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment. For the purposes of NZ IFRS 8,

allocations are based on the operating results by segment. The Group does not allocate certain resources (such as senior

executive management time) and central administration costs by segment for internal reporting purposes as these allocations

would not result in a meaningful and comparable measure of profitability by segment.

The Group has categorised these derivatives, both financial assets and financial liabilities, as Level 2 under the fair value

hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS-13.

The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a discounted cashflow valuation. Key

inputs include observable forward exchange rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting value discounted back

to present values.

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for foreign currency forward exchange contracts during the

current reporting period.

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during either the current or prior periods.

The fair value of financial instruments not already measured at fair value approximates their carrying value.

The fair value of foreign exchange contracts outstanding is recognised as other financial assets/liabilities.

The Group enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge trading transactions, including anticipated

transactions, denominated in foreign currencies.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently

re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the

derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition depends on the

nature of the hedge relationship.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the fair value of firm commitments (fair value hedge) or as hedges

of forecast future sales (cash flow hedge). Open firm commitments reflect contractual agreements to provide goods to

customers at an agreed price denominated in a foreign currency on specified future dates.
