UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2023

Napier Port well positioned for cargo recovery in FY24

Napier Port (NZX.NPH), the freight gateway for the central and lower North Island, today reports reduced

earnings for the nine months ended 30 June 2023 as the impact of Cyclone Gabrielle in February

weighed on exports from our region.

The company also reports strategies focused on yield management and pricing adjustments linked to

investments in infrastructure and additional customer services have supported revenue. They also

position the company well for an anticipated recovery in cargo volumes in the new financial year.

“Off the back of a buoyant first half, we anticipated Cyclone Gabrielle would reduce third quarter export

volumes and earnings, However, adverse weather in June and July that limited access to our wharves

represented a further challenge to our nine months result,” Napier Port Chief Executive Todd Dawson

said.

“The lasting effects of the cyclone on cargo volumes are expected to persist into the fourth quarter, but

our confidence of a step up in cargo in the new financial year is growing given the progress of the

recovery efforts we are seeing in the region.

“Regional infrastructure rebuilding is well underway, assisted by the ongoing financial commitment and

prioritisation by government. We are particularly encouraged by the progress made by key customers

affected by the cyclone.

“The strong forward bookings for the upcoming cruise season suggest it could be our busiest on record.

Interest from shipping lines meanwhile remains high, which is a measure of confidence in Napier Port’s

long-term volume growth potential,” Mr Dawson said.

“Meanwhile, prudent financial management focused on the recovery of rising costs, our investments in

capacity and new services coupled with our continuing focus on efficiency, value and customer service

means we are well positioned to reap the benefits for the expected ramp up in volumes.”

HIGHLIGHTS

3rd Quarter to 30 June 2023

• Revenue for the third quarter fell 19.5% to $27.7 million from $34.4 million in the same period

Result from operating activities is an alternative non-NZ GAAP measure and represents core underlying operating earnings. For

further information please refer to Note 24 of the 2022 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Supplemental Selected

Financial Information.

2

Underlying net profit after tax is an alternative non-NZ GAAP measure that comprises reported net profit after tax adjusted for

certain non-recurring, non-core and abnormal, and unrealised fair value revaluation items to provide consistency and

comparability of the financial information over the periods presented. For further information please refer to the Supplemental

Selected Financial Information.




• Cruise revenue of $5.3 million on the return of cruise vessels in the period

• The result from operating activities decreased 1.4% to $29.3 million from $29.8 million as the

return of cruise ship calls and revenue yield increases were offset by the post-cyclone trade

volume declines and cost inflation

• Underlying net profit after tax decreased 34.3% to $9.3 million from $14.2 million as a result of

increased depreciation and finance costs following the completion of the Te Whiti wharf

investment

• Reported net profit after tax decreased 19.5% to $12.9 million from $16.0 million

Earnings guidance

• Unchanged guidance for an underlying result from operating activities for the year to 30

September 2023 of between $34.5 million and $36.5 million. This guidance excludes insurance

recoveries (of which $3.5 million has been recognised to date)


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Container services

Container services revenue for the quarter of $17.4 million decreased 22.1% from $22.3 million in the

same period last year. For the nine months, container services revenue decreased by 1% to $51.9

million from $52.5 million as decreased container volumes were largely offset by higher revenue per

TEU

3

.

Average revenue per TEU for the nine months increased 9.9% to $297 from $270 in the same period

last year. This was driven by a number of factors including tariff increases, fuel and insurance cost

recoveries and increased utilisation of depot and storage services.

Container volumes for the quarter fell 31.6% to 56,000 TEU as the after-effects of Cyclone Gabrielle

were felt across nearly all containerised cargo types, and this fall in volume was exacerbated by

unexpected weather and swell events during June. For the nine months, container volumes decreased

10% to 175,000 TEU from 194,000 TEU in the same period last year.

Bulk cargo

Bulk cargo revenue for the quarter decreased 17.9% to $9.4 million from $11.4 million in the same period

last year, as bulk volumes decreased 28.6% from 1.0 million tonnes to 0.7 million tonnes. For the nine

months, bulk cargo revenue decreased by 2% to $30 million from $30.6 million as volumes decreased

16.4% to 2.3 million tonnes from 2.7 million tonnes in the same period a year ago.

Log export volume for the quarter decreased by 0.2 million tonnes, or 21.4%, and for the nine-month

period decreased by 16.1% to 1.8 million tonnes from 2.1 million tonnes due to adverse weather,

damaged roading infrastructure and subdued log export market conditions.

Average revenue per tonne for the nine months increased 17.3% to $13.26 from $11.31 in the same

period last year, driven by yield increases and an increased contribution from our debarking operation.

Cruise services

The cruise season completed in April with 64 vessel calls and nearly 100,000 passengers visiting the

region, contributing $5.3 million to revenue.

Operating results

The result from operating activities for the third quarter decreased 44% to $7.5 million from $13.3 million

in the prior year period, as the post-cyclone third quarter revenue reduction of $6.7 million exceeded the

fall in operating expenses of $0.8 million.


3

Twenty-foot equivalent container unit




For the nine months, the result from operating activities decreased 1.4% to $29.3 million from $29.8

million in the prior year period as higher revenue arising from the return of cruise ship calls and revenue

yield increases were offset by lower trade volumes and continued cost inflation pressures.

During the third quarter, Napier Port recognised $3.5 million of insurance income receivable related to

progress claims for business interruption losses incurred following the Cyclone Gabrielle event during

February and as a result of supporting correspondence with insurers.

Underlying net profit after tax for the third quarter, after adjusting for unrealised fair value movements

on investment properties and Cyclone Gabrielle related net insurance income, fell by 73.4% to $1.9

million from $7 million in the same period last year.

For the nine months this decreased by 34.3% to $9.3 million from $14.2 million as a result of increased

depreciation and finance costs recognised in the income statement following the completion of the Te

Whiti wharf investment in the prior financial year.

Reported net profit after tax for the third quarter fell 40.2% to $4.2 million from $7.0 million in the same

period last year, and for the nine months decreased 19.5% to $12.9 million from $16.0 million.


CYCLONE GABRIELLE TRADE IMPACT UPDATE

Six months post-cyclone, all road access to Napier Port is open and KiwiRail have indicated a mid-

September reinstatement of the rail line from Hastings to Napier Port.

Once the rail line is fully operational, we expect pulp, meat and log cargoes from the central North Island

to revert back to rail mode, with a positive effect on volumes.

Pan Pac’s timber operations are expected to restart in the first quarter of our next financial year, and

pulp processing by the second quarter, with a ramp up towards normal production levels over the

subsequent quarters.

Ravensdown’s fertiliser plant in Awatoto restarted manufacturing operations in July.

The forestry sector has seen some reduction in capacity however forest-based production has been re-

established. Log volumes are steady and we are receiving some additional windthrown logs from the

central North Island. Export market conditions for logs remains subdued.

The extent of pipfruit areas that will require remediation and replanting to restore production will become

clearer in the Spring when fruit buds appear.


CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Over the nine-month period Napier Port has invested $11 million in capital assets, including mobile

plant, planned site maintenance and post-cyclone restorative dredging.

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $7.8m, or 31.2%, to $33.0 million from $25.1 million

in the same period last year.

Napier Port ended June 2023 with total drawn debt of $132 million and undrawn bank facilities of $48

million, and with a Debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.09 times.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

1. REPORTING ENTITY

The interim financial statements presented are those

of Napier Port Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries

(together “the Group”). Napier Port Holdings Limited is

incorporated under the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled

in New Zealand. Napier Port Holdings Limited’s shares are

publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX)

and has bonds quoted on the NZX Debt Market (NZDX).

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

The interim financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International

Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting

(NZ IAS 34), and International Accounting Standard 34,

Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity

for NZ GAAP purposes. These interim financial statements

do not include all the information normally included

in an annual financial report. Accordingly, these should

be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial

statements for the year ended 30 September 2022.

BASIS OF MEASUREMENT

The interim financial statements have been prepared on a

historical cost basis, except for sea defences, investment

properties and derivative financial instruments, which are

measured at fair value. They are presented in New Zealand

Dollars (NZD) and all values are rounded to the nearest

thousand dollars ($'000), unless otherwise stated.

3. SIGNIFICANT

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those

followed in the preparation of the Group's consolidated

financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022.

4. UNCERTAINTIES, ESTIMATES

AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity

with NZ IAS 34 requires management to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions that affect the application

of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,

liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ

from these estimates.

5. THE EFFECTS OF

CYCLONE GABRIELLE

AND INSURANCE MATTERS

During February 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle struck

New Zealand causing widespread damage and disruption

to the Hawke's Bay region and its infrastructure.

Whilst Napier Port did not experience significant property

damage, many cargo customers of Napier Port have

experienced damage and reduced output, which impacts

Napier Port's trading. The economic consequences of this

event is negatively impacting and increases uncertainty

regarding the Group’s future trading results.

The Group had an insurance policy in place at the time

of the cyclone that its lead insurer has confirmed,

in principle, will respond to the material damage and

business interruption losses of the Group arising from

Cyclone Gabrielle, subject to the terms and limitations

of the insurance policy. The Group expects to submit

claims to its insurers as and when it determines its

recoverable losses. Under the Group's policy, the relevant

business interuption indemnity period is 18 months

following the loss event. The Group's claims are subject

to review and adjustment by the Group's insurers.

The Group's policy is to recognise insurance recovery

income when it is virtually certain insurance proceeds

will be received and the amount receivable can be

reliably estimated.

The Group has received, subsequent to the balance sheet

date, written confirmation from its insurers regarding

an interim non-specific partial payment to be paid of

$3.5m relating to the Group's progress insurance claim

for business interruption losses sustained since the

cyclone event. This sum has been recorded within Other

Income and Expenses (note 7) in the Consolidated Income

Statement for the nine-months ended 30 June 2023

and within Trade and Other Receivables within

the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

as at 30 June 2023.

Revenue is measured based on the service price specified in the relevant tariffs or specific customer contract.

The contract price for the services performed reflects the value transferred to the customer.

PROPERTY OPERATIONS

Investment property lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly reported

to the Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

port services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the Port Services reportable segment

the following operating segments have been identified: marine services, general cargo services, container services,

port pack services and depot services. These have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic

characteristics, customers, nature of services and risks.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S
REVIEW REPORT

To the shareholders of Napier Port Holdings Limited’s interim financial statements

for the nine months ended 30 June 2023

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier Port Holding’s

Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the

“Group”). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Stuart

Mutch, using the staff and resources of Ernst & Young,

to carry out the review of the interim financial statements

of the Group on his behalf.

CONCLUSION

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of the

Group on pages 1 to 10, which comprise the consolidated

statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023

and the consolidated income statement, statement of

comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity

and statement of cash flows for the nine months ended on

that date, and the notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that

causes us to believe that the interim financial statements

of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2023, and

its financial performance and cash flows for the nine months

ended on that date, in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

BASIS FOR CONCLUSION

We conducted our review in accordance with

NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements

Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

(‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further

described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review

of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with

the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s

Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence

requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners

issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance

Standards Board.

Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no

relationship with, or interests, in the Group.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INTERIM

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group,

for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim

financial statements in accordance with New Zealand

Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and for such

internal control as the Directors determine is necessary

to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the

interim financial statements that are free from material

misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

The Directors are also responsible for the publication

of the interim financial statements, whether in printed

or electronic form.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE REVIEW

OF THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim

financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410

(Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has

come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not

prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with

New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of the interim financial statements in accordance

with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance

engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting

of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for

financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical

and other review procedures. The procedures performed

in a review are substantially less than those performed

in an audit conducted in accordance with International

Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently

does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would

become aware of all significant matters that might be

identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express

an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.

1.1 Description of adjustments

In determining the use of adjustments, the Directors have considered only those items that they

believe are required to ensure consistency and comparability of the financial information over the

periods presented.

The adjustments that Napier Port considers appropriate are explained below:

(i) removal of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties as this relates to

non-core activity; and

(ii) removal of expenses and insurance income attributable to the extraordinary Cyclone

Gabrielle event that occurred during February 2023.

Insurance income receivable for insured business interruption losses indemnifies the

Group for reduced operating profits following Cyclone Gabrielle. The recognition of

insurance income does not necessarily match the accounting period of the reduced

operating profits, as this income recognition is determined according to the Group’s

accounting policy for recognising insurance recovery income and is dependent upon the

timing of the lodgement of claims with insurers and the timing of their review processes.

The adjustment removes this timing effect and the potential variability in income

recognition.
