• The Group delivered a result at the upper end of guidance buoyed by Australian Glass Group’s
improvement in profitability while supply-chain disruption, cost inflation and the early signs of a
construction sector down-turn impacted the New Zealand business
• New Zealand revenue improved 5% year on year and price increases have begun to improve gross
margin
• AGG achieved a milestone year with a significant improvement in profitability to $6.4 million
• Group EBIT before significant items improved 100% to $11.8 million supported by price and cost
management disciplines across the business and the strong performance of AGG
• Net debt at the end of the period was $60.4m which was at the lower level of guidance
• Statutory net profit after tax of $(10.5) million down from $(0.5) million in FY22, driven by a $10.0 million
impairment of intangible assets due to the softer outlook for NZ construction
Metro Performance Glass (Metroglass) reports unaudited financial results for the 12 months to 31 March 2023 (FY23).
Group Revenue for the year to 31 March 2023 of $263.5 million was 12% higher than the prior year, with New Zealand
up 5% and Australia up 32%. Group EBIT
2
before significant items rose 100% to $11.8 million. As a result of an $10.0
million impairment charge on New Zealand goodwill, Statutory NPAT declined to $(10.5) million loss from $(0.5) million
in FY22.
Net debt increased from $52.3 million to $60.1 million at 31 March 2023, reflecting the higher value of inventory and
trade receivables, a greater stock quantity on hand to cover the lack of reliability in the supply-chain and the increased
working capital requirements to support the growth in AGG. Pleasingly net debt was significantly below the $64 million
guidance in February 2023 as supply chain disruptions began to ease and operational performance improved.
New Zealand
Revenue in New Zealand improved 5% to $186.7 million. Gross profit margin has progressively recovered through
quarter four as supply chain disruption reduced, international freight costs began to ease and cost out initiatives were
implemented. The annual run rate of $8.0 to $9.0 million of cost savings will be delivered in FY24.
In the residential segment revenue of $122.1 million was 6% above the prior year. Commercial glazing activity
remained resilient as revenue rose 10% to $36.9 million, however profit margins in fixed price contracts were impacted
Note: all non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) financial measures are defined to a GAAP measure on slide13 of the FY23 results presentation, available

by rising glass costs. After consecutive years of growth Retrofit revenue declined 5% to $27.6 million as homeowners
reassessed household spending.
“In another disruptive year the business made good progress to address the inflationary pressures and supply chain
volatility to maintain consistent service to our customers. While the challenges are expected to continue, our focus
remains firmly on operational efficiency and positioning the company to meet the needs of a changing market
dynamic.
This year investments in additional furnace capacity debottlenecked our manufacturing network and increased
capability for processing Low E glass, improving quality while also improving our energy efficiency. In New Zealand,
Metroglass launched a first for the residential market product in SunX™ Grey which is the latest in solar control
technology. We are pleased at being able to provide these products and service improvements to customers and
support the increased energy efficiency requirements of the new H1 building requirements.” said Mr Mander.
Australian Glass Group (AGG)
In FY23 AGG has performed well even with disruptions to supply chains and labour availability. After a successful
turnaround, AGG’s improved profitability is underpinned by resilient service performance to customers and increases
to market pricing. AGG delivered a 32% increase in revenue to $76.8 million and EBIT of $6.4 million, an improvement
of $6.7 million on the prior year.
“We are really pleased with the sustained improvements in AGG’s performance. The results of our initiatives to
turnaround the business were delayed by the Covid-19 period; however, the team has remained focussed on serving its
customers and on robust financial disciplines which is reflected in the significant improvement in profitability.” said Mr
Mander.
In February 2023 MPG announced its intention to explore divestment options for the Australian business.
Mr Mander said “AGG has solid fundamentals and a strong growth plan that leverages the adoption of double-glazing
in the south-east of Australia in line with National Construction Code Changes. As AGG enter the next phase of its growth
strategy and serving the increasing requirement for double glazing across the Australian residential market, it is now an
appropriate time to consider the options for this business.”
This process continues to progress and is expected to take a number of months.
The proceeds from any transaction will be directed towards the reduction of debt, Metroglass is targeting a leverage
ratio of 1.0x net debt to EBITDA. This net debt level will significantly improve the resilience of the New Zealand business
as it manages the dynamics of a changing cycle.
Capital Management
Metroglass has begun to reduce working capital commitments in line with the improving reliability of the international
supply chain and this is expected to materially reduce its investment in working capital through the first half of FY24.
Metroglass’ net debt to EBITDA ratio decreased to 3.3x at 31 March 2023 from 3.8x in the prior period, primarily as a
result of the increase in EBITDA. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is expected to continue to improve through the first half
of FY24 through the improving performance of the New Zealand business and the unwinding of working capital invested
in inventory.
During the year, Metroglass concluded an extension of its current syndicated banking facilities out to the end of October
2024 (previously October 2023).
Market conditions and outlook
The 12-month rolling number of residential consents issued in New Zealand has declined from its peak through the
first quarter of 2023. Activity levels in the beginning of FY24 have remained within expectations and customers
continue to indicate a stable pipeline of work in the near term, although the economic outlook presents significant
uncertainty for the number of consents issued and the dwellings ultimately constructed in FY24.
As a consequence of the forecasted lower construction activity, a review of the carrying values of Metroglass’ assets
resulted in an $10.0m impairment on New Zealand goodwill, which initially arose from acquisitions completed in 2012
(pre-IPO). This non-cash charge has no impact on the company’s bank covenants and is presented as a significant item
in the FY23 financial statements.
As international freight costs and disruption moderate through the next 6 months and combined with the increasing
demand for Low E products driven by new H1 building code, the level of financial performance in the first half of FY24
is expected to better than the prior comparable period.
Economic headwinds from inflation, lower house prices and other external pressures are likely to accelerate the
decline in building activity through the second half of FY24. Metroglass continues to monitor a range of scenarios and
have appropriate plans to continue to improve the profitability of the NZ business. The cost out programme and
restructure of the New Zealand business announced in November 2022 will continue, delivering operational and
financial benefits through FY24.
An improvement in the financial performance of the New Zealand business in the first half of FY24, an unwinding of
working capital and a continued contribution from AGG, will allow for a meaningful reduction in net debt in the first
half of FY24. Net Debt is expected to be below $55.0 million at the half year.
As announced in March 2023, for the 12 months to 31 March 2024, management forecasts are for AGG to achieve
revenue, EBITDA and EBIT of approximately AUD 79.0 million, AUD 11.5 million, AUD 7.5 million
4
respectively.
Notwithstanding the signalled declines in economic conditions, Metroglass continues to operate well, and through a
combination of the price increases to recover rising input costs, cost saving initiatives and building code changes that
will support sales of higher value products, Metroglass is well positioned to continue improving its performance.
The company will provide shareholders with an update on early FY24 trading performance at its Annual Shareholders’
Meeting.

•An impairment review is undertaken at least every 12 months. As a result of this year’s review, the
Directors have resolved to impair the carrying value of NZ goodwill by $10.0m as at 31 March 2023
•This goodwill balance arose from historical transactions before the company’s IPO in 2014
•This is an accounting charge only with no change to cash flows and no impact on bank covenants
•Further information on this testing and the underlying assumptions will be provided in the audited
financial statements to be released early July
Impairment of intangible
assets in New Zealand.
For the year ended 31 March 2023
As a consequence of the significant
uncertainty regarding forecast declines
in construction activity, the carrying
values of assets were reviewed.
The review was conducted and results

•Net operating cash flows were below last year primarily driven by a higher value of
inventory and trade receivables, a greater stock quantity on hand to cover the ongoing
lack of reliability in the supply-chain and the working capital requirements of a growing
business in AGG.
•In FY23 working capital increases are inline with our efforts to increase our safety stock
levels amid international supply chain disruptions and reflect the cost for this inventory
•Capital expenditure was $6.2m in FY23, with $5.0 invested in the first half with that
focussed on delivering increased capability, capacity and quality

Segmental Reporting
Substantially all of the Group's revenue is derived from the sale of glass and related products
and services. This revenue is split by channel only at the revenue level into Commercial
Glazing, Residential and Retrofit. Commercial glazing revenue reflects sales through four
specific commercial glazing operations in New Zealand. Following the acquisition of Australian
Glass Group Pty Ltd (AGG) on 1 September 2016 the Group operates in two geographic
segments, New Zealand and Australia.

Significant items are a non-GAAP measure and are based on the Group's internal policy as
follows. Transactions considered for classification as significant items are material restructuring
costs, acquisition and disposal costs, impairment or reversal of impairment of assets, business
integration, and transactions or events outside of the Group's ongoing operations that have a
significant impact on reported profit.
The Australian divestment costs include those costs incurred for the initial sale process
undertaken in the period ended 31 March 2023.
On 18 November 2022 the Group announced the initiation of a cost out programme to ensure
that the business capacity and resources are appropriate to service demand as the construction
sector cycle changes, including a comprehensive review of its organisational structure and
manufacturing footprint. This review culminated in the closure of the manufacturing facility in
Bay of Plenty in December 2022, closure of the hardware procurement function, and other staff
restructuring costs. The costs of this programme that were incurred in the period ended 31
March 2023 are included in the 'Restructure of NZ operations' significant item. The nature of
the costs incurred include redundancy payments, loss on disposal of inventory, costs incurred
transporting and re-commissioning assets, and professional service costs related to the
potential divestment of AGG.
Critical Estimates and Judgements; Goodwill
The Group tests intangible assets for impairment to ensure they are not carried at above their
recoverable amounts:
* at least annually for goodwill with indefinite lives; and
* where there is an indication that the assets may be impaired (which is assessed at
least at each reporting date).
Impairment tests are performed by assessing the recoverable amount of each individual asset
or CGU. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher amount calculated under a value-
in-use (VIU) or a fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) calculation. Both methods utilise pre-
tax cash flow projections based on financial projections approved by the Directors.
Disruptions to the supply chain for the New Zealand CGU have eased and are expected to
improve in the medium- term earnings outlook. The number of new homes consented have
declined from the historically elevated levels and the expectation is that consenting levels will
continue to decline in the short term before flattening out. The value of non-residential building
consents softened on last year but are not expected to decline at the same rate as residential
work. The changes to the building code (H1 Standards) that are progressively effective from
November 2022 require an increase in the thermal properties of window units as part of a suite
of changes designed to improve the thermal performance of New Zealand homes. Short term
earnings performance for the NZ CGU are expected to improve compared to F23 even with an
the anticipated reducing building activity driven by a reduction in global supply chain freight
9
rates, the successful implementation of the cost out programme and the gradual adoption of the
H1 building code.
There is a heightened level of uncertainty at present which makes accurately forecasting the
medium-term future challenging. The company currently expects consents in New Zealand to
trend lower in the next 12 to 24 months. While the industry will benefit from the completing of an
existing pipeline of projects in the short term, it is unclear how long this will last, and activity
levels thereafter are highly uncertain.
After reflecting on a number of scenarios, it is the considered view of the directors that the
forecast revenue assumptions and resulting outcome is reasonable. This is based on our
understanding of the market and a consensus of the market trajectories considered. Therefore,
an impairment to the goodwill balance of $30.9 million has been recognised at 31 March 2023.

Prior Period Adjustments
The debtors reclassification arose from a review of the process to identify and reclassify
customer deposits from trade receivables to the deferred income balance. During the current
year this review identified that there was a further $842,000 of deposits that had not been
reclassified to deferred income as at 31 March 2022. There is no impact on Consolidated
Statement of Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as a result of
this reclassification.
