Turners delivers record FY23 earnings
Turners Automotive Group (NZX: TRA) has reported record earnings for the financial year to March 31
2023 (FY23), demonstrating its sustainable earnings platform, and the strategic value of its diversification
and de-risking over recent years. While the company notes that the interest rate cycle may impact the
timing of its FY25 target of $50M NPBT, it continues to achieve strong results in challenging conditions
and to strengthen its position for the next upcycle.
Key Financial Highlights:
Revenue $389.6M +13%
EBIT $52.2M up 9%
1
NPBT $45.5M +6%
NPAT $32.6M +4%
Full year dividend 23.0 cps (flat)
Earnings per share 37.7cps +4%
Key Business Highlights:
Final FY23 dividend declared at 7.0 cps bringing FY23 dividend to 23.0 cps, matching last year
and equating to a gross yield of 8.5% per annum based on the current share price of $3.75.
Record earnings in Auto Retail and Insurance divisions more than offset Finance headwinds.
Market share gains and margin improvement in Turner’s largest division, Auto Retail led to a
28% increase in profit, following 26% in FY22.
Market share growth and improved claims ratios in Insurance business.
Compression of net interest margin (NIM) in Finance. Interest expense materially up 110% to
$13.3m, reflecting the change in OCR. However, this impact was mitigated by finance margin
management and regular pricing increases.
Debt load increasing in Credit Management. Well positioned for the next stage of the NZ credit
cycle.
The company’s strong culture remains a key advantage, ranking in the top 5% of consumer
businesses globally. Employee Share Scheme launched with almost 50% take up.
Macro headwinds (inflation, interest rates, and economic conditions) likely to feature in the
year ahead with uncertainty and speed of change key features.
Continue organic growth momentum in Auto Retail through branch expansion and shifting
more sales into retail channels, and further traction from award winning ’Tina’ marketing
campaign.
The company’s FY23 result demonstrated earnings resilience despite tough economic conditions,
including rapid interest rate rises, and lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first half. Group
revenue rose 13% to $390m with Auto Retail and Insurance divisions growing strongly for a third year in
succession, delivering a record NPBT result of $45.5m, up 6% on FY22.
Revenue rose strongly in each of the three largest businesses up 15% in Automotive Retail to $278.2M,
13% in Finance to $58.6M and 8% in Insurance to $43.6M. Profit grew 28% in Automotive Retail to
$25.0M, and 9% in Insurance to $12.6M. Finance Division’s profit was down 17% to $15M due to rapid

OCR increases that saw credit quality, regulatory compliance and margin management become the
priority during the year. Profit for Credit Management was largely unchanged at $2.9M.
Todd Hunter, CEO, said: “Two of our three major divisions continue to perform strongly with our third,
Finance, well positioned as market conditions change. This strong performance reflects the success of our
diversification strategy, our de-risking initiatives as well the quality of our team. The strength of our team
and culture is proving a durable competitive advantage at a time of scarcity of talent, and as economic
conditions become more difficult in the near term.
Our marketing and customer service are proving successful. Turners is increasingly seen as the leading
brand in the used car market and as the number of used car outlets across New Zealand continues to
contract, we see further opportunity to consolidate our position. While we are weathering tough
economic conditions, we expect these headwinds to intensify before we are through the current inflation
cycle. However, we are well-positioned and will continue to look for organic growth opportunities to
further our lead in what are uncertain and rapidly changing market conditions.”
Financial results
Reported NPBT increased 6% to $45.5M. Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $32.6M was up 4% on the same
period last year. EBIT is $52.2M up 9%.
Earnings per share for FY23 were 37.7 cps, up 4% on the previous year. A final 7.0 cps dividend has been
declared for FY23 (payable in July), taking FY23 dividends to 23.0 cps, matching last year’s strong result.
This reflects the dividend policy payout of 60-70% of net profit after tax (NPAT) and represents a yield of
8.5% per annum return based on a $3.75 share price. A dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) will be a feature
of the final dividend with a 2% discount applied for those taking up the DRP. Details of the plan will be
released shortly.
Grant Baker, Chairman, said: “This result underscores our well-founded confidence in the resilience of
the used car market through the cycle. Our leadership position for quality, technology, national
coverage, branding and customer service has created a robust growth platform that continues to
deliver. We have achieved these results at a time when retail generally has been under pressure. The
used car market is needs-based and stable through downturns, as we envisaged. Our diversified business
is well-placed to deliver further growth as well as offering solid returns to shareholders.”

Advancing Turners’ strategy
The FY23 result reflects the company’s consistent and steady implementation of its FY22 - FY25
strategy that offers confidence in higher earnings growth through the cycle. Five key areas underpin
the company’s earnings growth. These are a combination of both physical network development and
digital expansion:
1. Auto – branch expansion
2. Auto – vehicle purchase decision-making
3. Auto – Retail optimization of unit sales from wholesale to retail
4. Brand- investing heavily into building our brand with ’Tina’ to all New Zealanders
5. Finance – growth in premium lending
6. Insurance – distribution

Award-winning Marketing and Most Trusted Dealership
Supporting this strategy has been Turners award-winning marketing, a key factor in consistent market
share growth across its divisions. The ‘Tina from Turners’ brand campaign claimed the Supreme Award
in the 2022 New Zealand Marketing Awards. In October 2022, the campaign won two ‘Effies’ –
Advertising Effectiveness Awards – in the categories of Best Strategic Thinking and Retail/Etail.
Our continued focus on service is translating into customers’ reported experience. We are proud to
announce that we’ve just won New Zealand’s Most Trusted Used Car Dealership for the fourth
consecutive year. We stand for trust and credibility in an industry that can sometimes represent the
opposite.
Outlook
While the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have diminished, market uncertainty continues to rise. We
see macro headwinds with economic uncertainty likely to intensify in the short term.
However, we are focussed on what we can control. In Auto Retail, we expect to see upside from our new
branches in the second half and expect those to follow the success of our branch expansion strategy over
the last couple of years. Domestic supply continues to be an advantage for Turners, and the transition of
wholesale auction units into retail sales channel will underpin further market share and margin growth.
In our Finance business, quality and margin management remain key priorities in the near term, with a
drag on earnings, especially until peak OCR is reached. After the OCR peak we will again focus on growth
initiatives and expect net interest margin to start expanding again. We expect sales in our Insurance
division to be buoyant based on our distribution and market share gains, and claims ratios to be stable.
Credit Management is expected to perform better in the coming year as consumer arrears worsen and
bad debts begin to be called in.
Looking beyond FY24 we remain confident that our FY22 – FY25 growth model is broadly on track.
However, the timing of peak OCR could affect the timing of achieving our FY25 target of $50M in
underlying NPBT, as outlined further in today’s investor presentation. FY24 has started well with April-
23 profit result showing positive growth against April-22.

Company Announcement

Auto Retail: Revenue $278.2M +15%, NPBT $25.0M +28%
Turners market share continued to grow throughout FY23. Retail unit sales were up 6% to around 19,500
units, and wholesale auction unit sales rose 25% to around 14,700 units. Total units sold through auction
were 18,500 compared to 14,730 the year prior, due to adding Fleet Partners ex-lease consignment
vehicles. ‘Owned’ unit sales in FY23 was up 9% on FY22 to 24,000, and margin on ‘owned’ sales rose 11%
in FY23. Nelson and Rotorua branches are now both fully operational and performing above
expectations. The success of Turners domestic sourcing strategy is evident in faster stock turn and the
business continues to operate off lower inventory levels. Increasing local sourcing versus used imports
has been beneficial. The government’s clean car program has reduced the number of imported cars
coming into the country which has increased the value of used car units and increased our margins. Our
Tina campaign continues to deliver record levels of sourcing leads. The team continues to work on
improving overall Finance attachment rates, to realise synergies from other divisions. For FY23 our
Finance attach rates were 31%, a slight fall on FY22’s 32.7%. Our committed development pipeline for
retail expansion in Christchurch, Napier and Timaru offers additional profit contributions from FY24 to
FY26. Turners Subscription has broken through 300 concurrent subscriptions (in February 2023), and the
offer moved into profit in Q4 FY23. Around 80% of subscription owned cars are low emission vehicles
(LEVs).
Finance: Revenue $58.6M +13%, NPBT $15.0M -17%
Solid revenue growth during FY23 was set against an additional $7m in interest expense over FY22 levels
due to the rapid rise in OCR. While the Finance division proactively reviewed pricing to mitigate OCR
rises, Oxford’s 12 base rate rises, lifting 4.10%, since October 2021, compares to an OCR movement of
5.0%. This meant that growth moderated as credit quality, regulatory compliance and margin became
higher priorities. That additional $7m in interest expense represents a 110% increase which has had a
material impact on profits on average loan book. Credit policy continually tightened throughout FY23
[check] with average credit score continuing to improve. Premium Tier business accounts for more than
50% of our new business per month. Oxford loan arrears continue to track at the half the levels of the
wider market. The strategy adopted in FY23 will ensure Turners Finance is well placed to grow again once
interest rates stabilise. The quality of Turners Finance book continues to improve.
Insurance: Revenue $43.6M +8%, NPBT $12.6M +9%
Further gains in market share were a feature of FY23. Despite challenging market conditions, Turners
Insurance Division achieved robust sales growth. Digital distribution arrangements are continuing to
work well with further opportunities in the pipeline. Inflation in the cost of claims was offset by frequency
of claims reducing due to changes in consumer behaviour, including working from home and cost of
living increases impacting mobility and vehicle use. The Division’s operating cost ratio was steady
between 20-21%. The pandemic alongside recent weather events have confirmed no catastrophic risk in
the portfolio, and the Division’s de-risking strategy is working effectively.

Credit Management: Revenue $9.2M -5%, NPBT $2.9M -6%
The Credit Management business saw debt value loaded increase by 20% ($22m) compared to FY22.
However, 80% of this ($18m) was from harder to contact and collect second placement debt. Debt value
collected was down 9% to $34.4m due to reduced customer payment capacity requiring lower
repayment amounts to be accepted. Our “kept rate” of payment arrangements was stable through the
year at more than 75%. Positive signs include credit card demand up 20% coupled with Buy-Now-Pay-
Later demand dropping 15% year on year, flowing through to increased arrears levels, but still lower
than pre-pandemic levels. By year end and into the start of the coming year there were indications that
the economic downturn was producing conditions that may support improved results for Credit
Management. NZ wide consumer arrears metrics at the end of March 2023 are on the increase according
to Centrix NZ, to 11.8% of the credit active population (11.3% in Mar-22). The number of people that are
behind on their payments has increased to 427,000. Consumer delinquencies are at the same level as
reported in March 2019. Around 4.9% of credit active consumers are currently 30+ days past due (up
from 4.1% for the same month last year).

The rate of change of the OCR is having a material impact
on our finance business...
Oxford base rate price movements v OCR actual and forecasted
•Oxford base rates have increased 12 times
since Oct-21 but pricing remains ultra-
competitive.
•Our strategy has been to proactively review
pricing to mitigate the OCR impact, however
interest expense is up ~110% (or $7m) over
FY22.
•This strategy will ensure we are well placed to
grow again once interest rates stabilise.

Commercial arrears
•Oxford loan arrears continue to track better than market data
published by Centrix (see chart at top left).
•Our large proportion of premium borrower business combined with
tightening credit policy means arrears still tracking well below pre-
Covid
•Oxford has continued to tighten credit policy during FY23.
•Consumer total arrears has increased slightly from 2.0% to 2.6% at
Mar-23, driven by uplift in short term arrears. However 90+day arrears
have actually reduced to 0.4% in Mar-23 from 0.6% in Mar-22.
•There is a material buffer ($2M) over and above BAU arrears
provisioning to allow for further economic uncertainty.

•Debt value loaded increased by 20% ($22M) over FY22 however
80% ($18M) of this increase was from harder to contact and collect
second placement debt.
•Debt value collected was down 9% to $34.4M due to diminished
customer payment capacity requiring lower repayment amounts to
be accepted, and payment arrangements being extended.
•Promises to Pay kept rate has remained stable through the last 12
months at over 75%.
•Positive signs are being seen for Credit Card demand up 20%
(coupled with BNPL demand dropping 15%) year on year flowing
through to increased arrears levels, but still lower than pre-pandemic
levels –Centrix data April 2023.

(11.3% in Mar-22).
•Number of people that are behind on
their payments has increased to
427,000.

Roadmap to $50M NPBT...
•Business is highly cash generative, leading to growth + yield for
shareholders.
•Auto retail growth continues to come from retail optimisation and
branch expansion. We are targeting a 10% market share.
•Margin expansion in Auto Retail out of transition of unit sales from
auction into retail channels.
•Headwinds in finance offset by growth driven out of direct lending
and improvements in distribution.
•Insurance growth to come from direct and digital distribution.
•Credit delivers growth as low pandemic level arrears return to more
long term run rate levels.
Net Profit Before Tax Bridge ($M)
45• TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP FY23 RESULTS
•Whilst the pandemic uncertainty has decreased, NZ’s economic uncertainty has increased. In an environment where costs are up
significantly, interest rates have never increased faster, there has been more government regulation in finance and vehicle markets
than ever before, and Turners business has continued to perform.
•Automotive Retail -we expect to see upside from our new branches in H2 and the supply-constrained market to continue primarily
due to impacts on the new car supply chain and government regulation. Domestic supply will be an advantage for Turners and the
transition of wholesale auction units into retail sales channel will underpin further market share growth.
•Finance-Quality and margin management remain key priorities within the finance division in the short term however once peak
OCR has been reached net interest margin will start expanding.
•Insurance -we expect new policy sales to be buoyant based on our distribution and market share gains and claims ratios to be
stable.
•Credit Management -is expected to perform better as the economic conditions worsen and the resultant impact on consumer
arrears. We are well positioned for the next stage of the NZ credit cycle.
•Solid start to FY24 with April-23 profit result showing positive growth against prior period.
