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.

statements (Interim Financial Statements) presented are
those of Scott Technology Limited (“Company”) and its
subsidiaries (“Group”).

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

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

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Group uses operating earnings/ (loss) before interest, tax,

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.
