Chair and CEO review
Kia ora,
With the challenges of recent years
largely behind us, and strong growth
and contingency plans in place, all
eyes were focused on 2023 and
improved volumes and demand.
Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas, with our half year
financial results heavily impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Performance
For the first six months of 2023, total revenue for the Group
increased from $645.5 million to $765.3 million. Operating
profit decreased from $15.0 million to a loss of $11.6 million
this year and profit before income tax decreased from $7.8
million to a loss of $21.4 million.
In our Apples business, revenue increased from $401 million
to $508 million in 2023, and in T&G Fresh revenue increased
from $185 million to $208 million this year.
It was a difficult growing season for apples in Aotearoa
New Zealand, with heavy rain in Hawke’s Bay during the
September to December growing phase, followed by Cyclone
Gabrielle in February causing devasting damage to parts of
Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti Gisborne.
Thankfully, our people and growers were safe, although some
lost possessions, homes, crops or orchards. The cyclone not
only had a significant physical impact on infrastructure but
also on the wellbeing and mental health of the community.
For T&G, the cyclone caused minor flooding in our office
facilities, packhouses, coolstores and our market and
distribution centre. On our apple orchards, the scale and
impact varied. While most of our owned and leased orchards
were not affected, four orchards were severely impacted,
representing about 13% of our planted Hawke’s Bay hectares.
A further 22% of the planted hectares were impacted to a
varying extent and are expected to have reduced productive
capacity for two-to-three years.

Five days following the cyclone, once unaffected
orchards and post-harvest facilities were assessed
as safe and power restored, T&G’s harvest resumed,
with teams concurrently beginning the process of
removing silt and debris and remediating orchards.
Restoration will take considerable time and we will
not know if we have been successful in saving trees
for a few seasons.
While the cyclone reduced apple volumes, the fruit
has good colour. However, given the weather, we
are seeing an increase in quarantine pests which
is impacting volumes entering some key markets,
including China and Taiwan. At each step in the
supply chain we have implemented robust and
stringent quality assessments to monitor the quality
and storage of fruit. This will continue throughout
the second half of the year.
The 2022/23 North American season produced
good quality Envy™ for its domestic and export
markets, and we worked hard to sell the crop at a
good price in Asia, clearing the way for the arrival of
southern hemisphere fruit.
While some shipping delays were experienced
at the start of Aotearoa’s season, supply chain
reliability continues to improve as we move
through the season.
With many global markets experiencing inflationary
pressure, economic activity and demand is subdued
in some markets, including the United Kingdom and
China. Our business model helps us redirect this
fruit to better performing markets across Asia.
In T&G Fresh, the business has continued to
strengthen, with on-plan performance in tomatoes
and continued growth in our Fijian and Pacific
Islands export business.
Higher costs remain a challenge across our
business. This has been most acute in our domestic
transport business, with increased labour costs.
Given the impact of the cyclone and the challenging
economic and inflationary conditions, strict financial
disciplines are being exercised as we adapt to the
changed environment. Capital expenditure has been
reprioritised and projects stopped or paused. We
have moved to a leaner organisational structure,
which is expected to deliver approximately $7 million
in annualised savings from 2024. At the same time,
we continue to work through our insurance claim.

Progress made
Despite the impact of the cyclone, we have the right strategy to drive
our business forward and realise increased value. In the first half of
the year, we continued to make excellent progress in putting in place
the building blocks to deliver this.
Having commenced the construction of our new state-of-the-art
automated Hawke’s Bay packhouse in late 2021, the team did a
remarkable job to deliver and commission the first phase of this
world-class facility on time and on budget in May 2023, having
dealt with labour and material constraints during COVID-19. Costing
close to $100 million, the packhouse integrates leading automation
and technology. The first of its planned two 220 metre packing
lines enables our Whakatu team to pack 90 to 100 bins per hour on
the one line, lifting the productivity rate up to 1 bin per person per
hour. When the second line is installed in coming seasons, this will
increase to 190 bins per hour with a similar number of people.
In June, we launched Joli™, a new global premium apple variety,
which complements T&G’s established Envy™ and JAZZ™ brands.
Developed in Aotearoa New Zealand, Joli™ is the result of over ten
years of innovation and is a productive, large, full-flavoured bright
red juicy apple which will appeal to both consumers and growers.
With consumers able to purchase the fruit from 2028, we intend to
plant 27 hectares on our own orchards and are seeking interest from
Aotearoa-based growers to be part of the commercial growing pilot.
Over the next five to six years, as additional trees become available,
we will extend the opportunity to growers in other countries.
Following twenty years of breeding and scientific development, Tutti™,
the world’s first specifically bred hot climate tolerant apple variety, was
commercially launched in February. Tutti™ is the first apple brand to
be commercially released from the Hot Climate Partnership, with our
VentureFruit® business responsible for the commercialisation and
licensing of all new varieties from the partnership.
Our Queensland joint venture berry farm has begun producing its
premium Southern Highbush low chill blueberry varities. With 8
hectares planted and 14 hectares under development, and a further
15 hectares to be planted in the future, the berries will be marketed
under our Orchard Rd brand across Australia.
Early in the year, we exited our Peruvian grape farm, with legal title
and full ownership transferred to the new owner.
Progress continues in sustainability, with ambitious emission
reduction targets submitted for validation to the Science Based
Targets initiative. Climate related risks and opportunities have
been refreshed and are forming the foundation of detailed climate
scenario analysis.

Outlook
The long-term outlook for fresh produce remains positive.
However, in the short term there are challenges as we
navigate the economic climate and impact of the cyclone.
At this point in the year there is still a way to go until
our Aotearoa New Zealand apple crop is sold. Given the
weather conditions the fruit has endured, combined with
subdued demand in some markets, we are driving sales
and marketing hard and closely watching quality.
Our team are doing this with the full support of our Board
and majority shareholder, BayWa Global Produce, who
are firmly by our side as we steer this incredible business
forward. We have a fantastic and hardworking team at T&G,
who everyday demonstrate their resilience, ingenuity, care
and drive.
We look forward to seeing the results from their hard work
be realised in coming years.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
9. Impact Of Cyclone Gabrielle
On the 13th and 14th of February 2023, New Zealand suffered from a severe weather event in the form of Cyclone Gabrielle.
This impacted the Group’s operations in the Hawke’s Bay where the Group has offices, packhouses, coolstores, a distribution centre,
and orchards.
There was minor flooding of the Group’s office facilities and the Group’s existing packhouses and coolstores and distribution centre.
None were majorly impacted, and operations resumed shortly after the cyclone.
While most of T&G's orchards (comprising both owned and leased orchards) were not impacted by the cyclone, four orchards were
severely impacted, representing approximately 13% of T&G's planted hectares in Hawke’s Bay. A further 22% of the planted hectares in
Hawke's Bay were impacted to a varying extent and are expected to have reduced productive capacity for two-to-three years. The Group
expects to finalise its provision for the one-off write-down of bearer plants and orchard structures impacted by the cyclone before the
end of this financial year.
As at 30 June 2023, the Group has incurred $5.3 million of costs related to the remediation of impacted orchards and associated clean-
up costs. To date, the Group has received $4 million of insurance proceeds and continues to work with its insurers to assess potential
recovery in respect of the affected locations.
10. Contingencies
There has been no material change in contingent liabilities during the period.
11. Capital commitments
As at 30 June 2023, the Group is committed to the following capital expenditure:

12. Seasonality of business
The Group’s operating segments are subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Apples operating segment generates most of its revenue
during the middle of the year and completes its seasonal programmes before the final quarter of the year. The Group’s other operating
segments are also impacted by the availability of fresh produce which varies during the year.
13. Events occurring after the reporting period
On 3rd August 2023, the Group entered into a loan facility with its parent company BayWa AG. This is an unsecured facility for an initial
term of three years for a maximum amount of the lesser of $24 million and an aggregate sum not exceeding 10% of the Group's average
market capitalisation as determined in accordance with NZX Listing Rules. Interest will be charged at the New Zealand Official Cash Rate
(adjusted quarterly) plus 4.5%, with repayments to be made only from net profit after tax.
There are no other material events that occurred after the reporting date that would require adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited
condensed interim financial statements.

MARKET UPDATE
4 August 2023
T&G Global reports its 2023 Interim Results
At a glance
• Revenue: $765.3 million, up from $645.5 million
• Operating (loss) / profit: ($11.6 million), down from $15.0 million
• Net (loss) / profit before tax: ($21.4 million), down from $7.8 million
• Net (loss) / profit after tax: ($15.7 million), down from $5.7 million
• Net assets: $553.8 million, down from $563.6 million
Announced today, T&G Global’s Interim Results for the six months to 30 June 2023 reflect the
difficult conditions the Group has faced in the first half of the year as a result of Cyclone Gabrielle.
Total revenue for the Group increased 19% to $765.3 million, compared to $645.5 million in the
prior year. A loss in operating profit was recorded of $11.6 million, down from a profit of $15.0
million, and a before-tax loss of $21.4 million, compared to a profit of $7.8 million in 2022.
The Apples business saw revenue increase 27% to $508 million, versus $401 million in the prior
year, and T&G Fresh recorded a 12% increase in revenue to $208 million, up from $185 million in
2022.
T&G Global Chief Executive, Gareth Edgecombe, says the weather and devastating cyclone in
Aotearoa New Zealand, together with subdued consumer demand in some global markets, has
contributed to a challenging first half of the year.
“It was a difficult growing season for apples in Aotearoa New Zealand, followed by Cyclone
Gabrielle in February causing significant damage to parts of Hawke’s Bay and Tairāwhiti
Gisborne,” says Mr Edgecombe.
“Thankfully, our people and growers were safe, but the cyclone’s physical and mental impact on
them, their families and the wider community has been sizeable.
“For T&G, we experienced minor flooding in some facilities, and four orchards were severely
impacted, representing about 13% of our planted Hawke’s Bay hectares. This resulted in a
reduction in our 2023 apple volumes. In addition, a further 22% of planted hectares are expected to
have reduced productive capacity over the next few years.
“At the same time, inflationary pressures have led to reduced consumer demand in some global
markets, including the United Kingdom and China. Our team are working hard to redirect this fruit
to better performing markets across Asia.
“Looking at our T&G Fresh business, it has been great to see it continue to strengthen, with on-
plan performance in tomatoes and continued growth in our Fijian and Pacific Islands export
business.”
T&G Global Chair, Benedikt Mangold, says while the half year results are disappointing, the
business’ response demonstrates its resilience, determination and drive.
“We continue to see the team rise to the challenge, support each other, and adapt and deliver.
While in the short term there remain uncertainties on the horizon as we continue to navigate the
economic climate and impact of the cyclone, the long-term outlook for fresh produce remains
positive,” says Mr Mangold.
“T&G’s growth strategy is centred on growing great brands, winning in key global markets and
leading Aotearoa New Zealand’s fresh produce future. In this half year, excellent progress has
been made in putting in place pivotal strategic building blocks which will deliver increased value.
“Through strong leadership and collaboration, the team commercially launched two innovative new
apple varieties and commissioned a state-of-the-art automated packhouse. This world-class
Hawke’s Bay post-harvest facility was commissioned on time and on budget, and will lift
productivity, further improve fruit quality and underpin our future apple export growth from the
region.”
The company has continued to make progress in sustainability, with ambitious emission reduction
targets submitted for validation to the Science Based Targets initiative, climate related risks and
opportunities refreshed, and detailed work underway to analyse climate change scenarios.
To provide additional funding flexibility while it continues to work through the consequences arising
from Cyclone Gabrielle, T&G has entered into a loan facility on 3 August 2023 with parent
company BayWa AG. This is an unsecured facility for an initial term of three years, subordinated to
T&G’s lenders under its syndicated multi option facility, at an interest rate of New Zealand’s OCR
(adjusted quarterly) plus 4.5%, with repayments to be made only from net profit after tax. The
facility is for a maximum amount of the lesser of (a) $24 million and (b) an aggregate sum not
exceeding 10% of T&G's average market capitalisation (as determined at the relevant time in
accordance with the NZX Listing Rules).
Mr Edgecombe says the company has reprioritised capital expenditure, reduced costs and is
maintaining very strict financial disciplines as it adapts to the changed environment and recovers
from the cyclone.
“It’s imperative we have a resilient future-focused strategy, supported by the fiscal strength to
realise it and pass this business on to the next generation. We are actively doing this, and we look
forward to seeing the team’s efforts realised in improved financial performance in the coming
years,” says Mr Edgecombe.
