Company Announcement
29 August 2023
MOVE FULL YEAR RESULTS FOR THE 12 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2023
CONTINUING TO RESHAPE AND STRENGTHEN THE BUSINESS TO SUPPORT GROWTH
• FY23 revenue of $347.7m and Normalised EBITDA
1
of $47.4m reflects investment in future growth
initiatives, moderating consumer demand in response to economic conditions, the ongoing Freight
improvement programme and weather events.
• Investment in future growth includes new trans-Tasman shipping service, fleet upgrade, technology and
talented people.
• New CEO commenced in February 2023 - indepth business review completed and legacy issues are being
addressed.
• Initiation of Project Blueprint in Q423, a 12 to 18 month dual pathway programme to reshape and
strengthen the business, and drive organic growth.
Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has reported its results for
the year ending 30 June 2023 (FY23).
The FY23 financial results reflect a moderation in customer demand in response to economic conditions, a
soft performance from Freight as the improvement programme continues, and the impact of weather
events, as well as inflationary pressure increasing the cost to serve. All businesses, excluding Freight,
delivered revenue gains, with Contract Logistics, MOVE’s largest division, delivering a solid year on year
performance, helping to offset a disappointing result from the Freight division.
Following the appointment of Craig Evans as CEO in February 2023, an indepth business review was
conducted. In late FY23, MOVE embarked on Project Blueprint, a 12 to 18 month dual pathway programme
to reshape and strengthen the business, and drive organic growth.
CEO Craig Evans commented: “Project Blueprint will create a strong launch pad to support our future growth
ambitions, with a more efficient, higher margin business model, that capitalises on MOVE’s strengths. We
are focused on organic growth, through careful customer acquisition and a focus on building base volumes
while allowing capacity for higher margin business. Alongside this is our strategy to reshape our business.
This will provide more immediate financial benefit for the business and involves a comprehensive review of
our operating costs and structure to ensure we are best placed to maximise our performance while the
growth strategy takes hold.
“Initiatives already in play are delivering early benefits, including improved cost disciplines, stronger
leadership across the business and a continuing transition from silo businesses to a unified group which
allows us to better service our customers and enhances our end to end supply chain solution. The Freight
improvement programme remains in progress and the gains from this will be a key driver of improving
financial returns.”
Excluding Freight, MOVE’s businesses all delivered year on year revenue increases, with group EBITDA
reflecting inflationary pressure on costs, investment into digital tools and piloting of new initiatives,
including MOVE’s new Oceans trans-Tasman shipping service.
1
Normalised EBITDA excludes non-trading adjustments of $1.7m pre-tax related to restructuring and resetting the business as part of the strategic
plan. Further details and reconciliation included in appendix to the FY23 Results presentation.
FY23 income was down 4.5% year on year to $347.7m. Normalised EBITDA
1
was $47.4m including a $3.4m
impact from investment in future growth initiatives. MOVE reported a Net Loss After Tax of $(7.2)m
2
.
Freight was the biggest contributor to the softer result, with a decrease in revenue driven in part by the rate
realignment in FY22, as well as the unexpected loss of a customer contract of $11m in annualised revenue,
from December 2022. A key focus in 2H23 has been on rebuilding activity, with an expanded sales team
established in late FY23.
Following a review, the Specialist business was reintegrated into the Group and FY22 results have been
restated to include Specialist. It had a strong year following Covid impacts in FY22 and is a high performing
business which delivers robust margins.
Tight control of costs and disciplined working capital management supported free cash flow of $35.4m.
Under Project Blueprint, a programme has been commenced to right-size the Freight business for current
demand, while preserving the ability to scale for growth. This is expected to deliver cost benefits from FY24.
Net capital expenditure increased in FY23 with the acquisition of the new vessel ($8.5m) and continued
investment in technology. The year on year increase reflects a prudent approach to balance sheet
management during the pandemic.
Net debt reduced by 25% to $15.6m as a result of the conversion of the convertible note in June 2023 and
from strong operating cashflows. MOVE has a solid balance sheet which will support the company through
the economic cycle.
Outlook
The softer economic conditions and inflationary pressures are expected to prevail into FY24, along with the
usual slowdown of activity prior to an election. While this will inevitably lead to a reduction in activity levels
across the freight and logistics sectors, MOVE’s focus remains on embedding change, improving productivity,
driving revenue and delivering customer service excellence.
Craig said: “Businesses are telling us they want a strong alternative in the market; a provider who is focused
on New Zealand customers, with a breadth of product and service capability, and who can move quickly to
deliver a solution that is tailored to their needs. MOVE is well positioned to meet their expectations. We
remain committed to delivering exceptional value to our customers, nurturing our talented team, and
ensuring the long-term success and prosperity of our company.”
Chair of MOVE, Lorraine Witten, said: “While there is still more work to be done, we continue to steadfastly
pursue our strategy which centres around three core areas – building a better, stronger business; smart
growth and expansion; and taking care of what matters. The work we are doing is creating a more resilient
business and will lead to sustainable long term earnings growth.
“Our aim is to have a positive impact on our people, communities and environment and we are focused on
those areas where we can drive meaningful change. Health & safety remains a priority for all our people and
we are pleased to report a continuing improvement in safety metrics for the third year in a row.
“On behalf of the Board, we would like to acknowledge and thank our people for all they have done for our
business over the past year. As part of our recognition of the contribution our people make to our business,
2
Attributable to owners of the company
the Board intends to implement a company-wide cash profit sharing scheme that aligns incentives for the
MOVE team with the company’s financial performance. Details on this will be announced in due course.”

Annual Report 2023
We‘re
preparing to
unleash our
potential.
With a legacy of over 150 years,
we’ve cemented our position
as one of New Zealand’s
premier transport and logistics
providers. More recently, we’ve
grown our business, bringing
in new capability and services.
Now a new chapter begins,
one that will define our future.
We’re getting ready to unleash
our potential – delivering
innovative solutions that meet
our customers’ needs and
creating value for our people
and our shareholders.

Business
with a
smile.
We believe in doing business
with a smile. It’s not just the
expertise, unique skills and
commitment to excellence
that fuel our success, it’s
the genuine connection
that our people forge with
our customers that sets
us apart. Our people are
passionate about our industry
and excited about the
transformation underway in
our business. Together, we
are driving positive change
that will benefit our team,
our customers and our
shareholders.
With a bubbly personality and a strong work ethic,
Pearl Henshaw is a valued driver for MOVE’s Fuel
business. She loves being out and about, delivering
fuel to customers across the region. Having top-of-
the-line trucks to drive and a great team to work
with are added bonuses. Initially from the West
Coast, Pearl has worked her way up through the
industry, from class 2 to class 5 trucks. Now based in
Christchurch, she is one of the few female fuel drivers
in the region. She recommends it as a great career
pathway for young people leaving school, saying it is
ideal for those not wanting a desk job and provides
good hours and pay.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Connecting
the dots.
We are connecting the
dots to create a seamless
and efficient end to end
supply chain solution for
our customers. Through our
extensive network, specialised
services and sector-specific
expertise, we have the ability
to meet our customers’ needs
and exceed their expectations.
Ian Pascoe is one of MOVE’s specialised aquaculture
drivers, transporting mussels around the country for
some of New Zealand’s biggest suppliers.
With more than 30 years of driving under his belt, in
both Australia and New Zealand, Ian always had a
fascination for trucks and got his Heavy Vehicle licence
not long after leaving school. His career has spanned
the dairy, mining and fresh food sectors, with jobs in the
past two decades revolving around his role as a solo
parent. But now his young family has grown up, Ian has
moved back to his first love, line haul driving across
the country. He can often be found travelling between
Nelson, Tauranga and the Coromandel, picking up and
delivering loads of live mussels. The job is a specialised
one, with MPI-certified trucks, and drivers trained in the
secure, quality transportation of live seafood.
Ian says driving is a passion, not a job. “It’s interesting
and challenging. It’s not just driving – it’s loading,
strapping and unloading, and ensuring your truck is
in top condition. I like the variety of going to different
places each day and being personally responsible for
delivering a great service for MOVE and our customers.”
Ian is a valued member of the MOVE team and his
experience and passion are much appreciated.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
MOVE CEO, Craig Evans & Chair, Lorraine Witten
14
From the Chair.
In a world where the economic
and market landscape is
constantly being reshaped,
adaptability is the key to
survival. Over the past two
years, we have embraced this
wholeheartedly, navigating
through a transformative
period in which we redefined
our goals, charted our course
and developed strategies to
enable us to thrive in an ever-
evolving market.
Lorraine Witten, Chair
MOVE was founded more than 150 years ago.
Built on a nationwide network of leading regional
brands and businesses, we have now brought these
together into one cohesive group. By leveraging
the strength and expertise of each entity within our
organisation, we have created an end to end supply
chain solution with capability across a wide range of
sectors and industries.
Innovative customer solutions have been a
cornerstone of our approach, as we seek to meet
our clients’ evolving needs. From MOVE’s new
trans-Tasman shipping service, which we have been
piloting this year, through to how, when and where
we freight and store our customer’s goods, our focus
is always on delivering value for our clients. This
ethos is enabling us to forge strong relationships
and establish ourselves as a trusted partner in the
industry.
Beyond the strategic decisions that drive our
business, it is MOVE’s people who truly set us
apart. We firmly believe that a company is only as
strong as its workforce and we are proud to have
a dedicated team of more than 1,100 professionals
who embody our values, are passionate about
our industry and believe in MOVE’s potential.
We value the diverse skills and perspectives our
team members bring, and our aim is to foster an
inclusive and supportive environment where they
can thrive. On behalf of the Board, we would like to
acknowledge and thank our people for all they have
done for our business over the past year. We know
that change can be challenging and we thank them
for staying the course.
Our commitment to Environmental, Social and
Governance principles remains steadfast. We
recognise that to earn our social licence to operate,
we must act responsibly and for a wider purpose
than simply profit. Our ideal is to not just reduce
our impact, but to contribute positively for our
people, our communities and the environment. We
believe this will have beneficial outcomes for our
business, thereby creating long term value for our
shareholders. More can be read on our approach
in the Taking Care of What Matters section of this
report.
15
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
MOVE’s financial results for FY23 reflect the
investments made into our business and new
initiatives, the ongoing reset of our Freight division,
and the transition towards higher margin business
as well as the more challenging economic
conditions. We recognise that there is more work to
be done to unleash the potential of our business and
achieve the results our shareholders are looking for.
Central to the next stage of our journey has been
the appointment of our new CEO, Craig Evans,
whose significant industry expertise and experience
have brought a fresh perspective to our business.
We welcomed Craig to our company in early 2023
and already he has infused the organisation with a
renewed sense of purpose, positivity and passion.
Following his appointment, Craig undertook an
indepth business review which has resulted in
Project Blueprint, a 12 to 18 month dual pathway
to reshape and strengthen the business, and
drive growth.
We continue to steadfastly pursue our strategy,
which centres around three core areas – building
a better, stronger business; smart growth and
expansion; and taking care of what matters. Under
Craig’s direction, new priorities have been set, with
our focus sharpened on our customers, our offer,
our people and driving revenue and returns. These
priorities reflect our commitment to delivering
exceptional value to our customers, nurturing our
talented team, and ensuring the long-term success
and prosperity of our company.
As part of our recognition of the contribution our
people make to our business, the Board intends to
implement a company-wide cash profit sharing
scheme that aligns incentives for the MOVE team
directly with Company’s financial performance.
Craig is a big supporter of this and has surrendered
the 1 million restricted share units (RSUs) he was
issued upon commencing his role, to ensure that his
incentives are aligned with those offered to the wider
MOVE team.
As Chair of the Board, I would like to thank my fellow
Directors for their support, strategic guidance,
diverse perspectives and governance as we steer
MOVE in the right direction. In particular, I would like
to acknowledge and thank director, Chris Dunphy,
who took on the role of Executive Director over the
last 18 months. With Craig’s appointment as CEO in
February 2023, Chris has now stepped back into a
non-executive board role.
We were pleased to welcome Julia Raue as an
independent director from 3 May 2023. Julia has a
strong background in business transformation and
digital change, which is of significant value as MOVE
continues its digital transformation. Her appointment
is in line with the Board’s succession planning, with
Danny Chan intending to step down at this year’s
Shareholder Meeting. Danny joined the Board when
MOVE first listed in 2017 and has provided valued
governance and advice as the company has
evolved.
I would also like to express my appreciation for
MOVE’s leadership team who have embraced
change and worked collaboratively together to lay
the foundations for our future growth.
In this annual report, we share our journey and the
pathways we have chosen to propel us forward. We
thank our shareholders for your ongoing support
and trust in our abilities. Together, we will continue
moving the dial as we unlock our potential and
chart a clear path toward long-term profitability and
shareholder value.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Introducing MOVE’s
new CEO, Craig Evans.
Craig Evans joined MOVE on
1 February 2023, with a remit to
rejuvenate our 150-plus year
old company and establish
a strong business positioned
for the future. Craig comes
with an impeccable pedigree,
having worked in the transport
industry since leaving school,
including a 35-year stint with
Mainfreight where he held the
role of New Zealand country
manager for the last seven
years. He’s now applying his
skills and experience to one
of New Zealand’s longest
standing freight and logistics
companies, MOVE Logistics
Group.
My colleagues would describe me as a people
person, very approachable and keen to hear
what others have to say. I’m also very energetic,
particularly when I’m passionate about something.
I’m always thinking two or three years ahead, about
cause and effect, and that often takes me down a
whole lot of different tangents.
I always told my kids two things; Be the best you
can be and be considerate to others. They’re
not really kids anymore. I’ve got three children
and 11 mokopuna. So now I tell those things to my
grandchildren. People do business with people they
like. Being courteous and considerate gets you a
long way in life.
Every kid should do sport. It’s a great way to learn
teamwork, competition and sportsmanship. I was
pretty good at sport at school and considered going
to the States to pursue an athletics career. I’ve also
got a Black Belt in Zen Do Kai, which is a freestyle
martial art.
My first job was cleaning toilets. I worked a variety
of jobs while I was growing up, my brothers and I
were all expected to pay our own way for the things
that we wanted, there were no handouts. I’m a
big believer in looking at people’s experience and
attitude towards work, rather than the degrees they
hold.
I was made redundant when I was 23 years old and
on my honeymoon. I’d been managing the bulk line
haul business for a transport company, one that
I’d joined straight out of school. A few days after
I was made redundant, I met Bruce Plested from
Mainfreight, which was an emerging company at
the time. He offered me a store manager job. When
I turned that down, he offered me a management
role instead.
I did the equivalent of an MBA at Macquarie
University. I was a guinea pig for their accelerated
programme. We completed it over 31 days’ straight,
no breaks, 12 hour days, 320 hours in total. It nearly
broke us but it was an incredible learning experience.
18
I love to see people grow and excel. The biggest
joy I get in business is seeing people recognise and
then work towards realising their potential. If we can
create a sense of unity, achievement and a strong
culture, then that will translate to business success.
The secret to being a good CEO is to recognise
you’re not an expert at everything and listen to
people. CEOs are not here to make decisions, we’re
here to find the right answers. People need to feel
safe to provide ideas. Collaboration is a word I’m big
on.
Tackling climate change is a journey. We all need
to be on it if we want our planet to survive. However,
we need to keep it real and do-able, and not get
caught up in the PR hype. At MOVE, we’re looking at
new technologies and alternative fuels and how we
can operate our business more sustainably, but we
recognise it’s not a quick fix.
Skilled labour is one of the biggest issues for our
industry. We need a robust, skilled workforce – and
to do that, we need to make our industry fun and a
great place to work. Our young people need to see a
career and opportunities for themselves. We’re very
focused on growing our own talent and developing
people within our business.
Reputation is everything. When people talk about
MOVE Logistics Group, I want them to think three
things – we are problem solvers, we are great to do
business with and our word is our bond. I want every
one of our people to be proud of who they work
for and to take pride in doing the best possible job.
That’s my focus for now and I’m bringing everyone in
our company along on the journey with me.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

Management
report.
Craig Evans, Chief Executive Officer
I am delighted to be reporting to shareholders for
the first time since taking on the mantle of MOVE’s
CEO earlier this year. It has been an interesting
first few months as I have travelled our network,
listening to our people, talking to our customers and
understanding the challenges we are facing, but
more exciting for us all, the huge potential for our
business.
The initiatives undertaken over the past two years,
some of which are still in progress, are creating a
step change for this organisation. My priority now
is to continue that transformational change and
strengthen our value proposition.
The company has been in survival mode for some
time. Now we are moving to a new mindset as
we reshape and strengthen our business, create
a unified platform and start hunting for new
opportunities and prospects.
The demand is out there – businesses are telling
us they want a strong alternative in the market; a
provider who is focused on New Zealand customers,
with a breadth of product and service capability,
and who can move quickly to deliver a solution that
is tailored to their needs.
However, we are not just hunting for any business. For
many years, MOVE was predominantly a low margin
bulk freight business. The business grew through
strategic acquisitions, particularly in recent years,
and as these businesses have been integrated into
the group, our ability to offer an end to end solution
has been enhanced, along with specialised services
and industry-specific expertise. This evolution has
paved the way to establishing a higher margin
business model, built upon a compelling customer
value proposition that capitalises on MOVE’s
strengths. There is still work to do in this area as we
untangle years of siloed regional-focused behaviour
to create a single unified group.
MOVE has one of New Zealand’s largest freight
networks, well located warehouses, a fledgling trans-
Tasman shipping service that is already performing
well, and international freight forwarding services.
We will continue to strengthen, invest in and expand
these core competencies as we grow our business.
21
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
We are also looking to collaborate more across our
industry, working in partnership with best-in-class
providers to ensure the optimal solution for our
customers and help us grow while preserving our
capital.
Our people will be the driving force for our success
and we are taking them with us on our journey.
During my visits to MOVE’s branches, depots and
warehouses across the country, I have been truly
impressed by the remarkable individuals who make
up MOVE’s team. Their passion, professionalism and
unwavering dedication to excellence are the pillars
upon which we will build our future success. If we do
right by our people, we believe they will do right by us
as we work together to deliver the ultimate customer
experience.
We have recently appointed Rachel Hustler as GM
of People and Culture and are building a strategy
that will create a unified culture with a high level
of trust and accountability, where people are
empowered and believe in our MOVE brand. Rachel
was an integral leader within Mainfreight NZ, heading
compliance, training and development.
We recognise that there is still work to be done as
we reshape our business, particularly in our Freight
division. As has been said previously, this is the
division that needs the most work, however, it also
offers a key opportunity to drive revenue and profit
for our group.
Over the next few pages, you can read about the
progress and performance in each of our divisions
over FY23, and the work we are doing in the areas
which enable our business.
PROJECT BLUEPRINT
We are stepping up the work commenced last
year, to significantly improve MOVE’s financial and
operating performance. Project Blueprint will create
a strong launch pad to support our future growth
ambitions, with a more efficient, higher margin
business model, that capitalises on MOVE’s strengths.
We are focused on organic growth, through careful
customer acquisition and a focus on building base
volumes while allowing capacity for higher margin
business. Alongside this is our pathway to reshape
our business. This will provide more immediate
financial benefit for the business and involves a
comprehensive review of our operating costs and
structure to ensure we are best placed to maximise
our performance while the growth strategy takes hold.
Initiatives already in play are delivering early benefits,
including improved cost disciplines, stronger
leadership across the business and a continuing
transition from silo businesses to a unified group
which allows us to better service our customers
and enhances our end to end supply chain solution.
The Freight improvement programme remains in
progress and the gains from this will a key driver of
improving financial returns.
TRADING CONDITIONS
Challenging economic conditions, extreme weather
events and softening customer demand following
the post-Covid surge in activity all affected our
business over FY23.
Customer activity softened from the peaks seen in
FY22 in response to slowing economic conditions,
particularly in the second half of the year. This has
been felt across both Warehousing and Freight.
In addition, our realignment of Freight rates to
market, which was undertaken in FY22, saw a
contraction of the customer base. We have
maintained our existing infrastructure during this
period, ensuring the capacity to deliver for our
customers as demand grows.
Inflationary pressures have increased the cost to
serve. To mitigate this, there has been tight control
over fixed costs which remained in line with the
previous year.
Weather events affected the Freight business in
particular, with road closures and Cook Strait ferry
delays causing delays and blockages in the supply
chain. Again this increased the cost to serve, with
additional driver hours and costs incurred.
Large commercial and infrastructure projects have
also been affected by the weather, which in turn
has impacted on our Specialist business, which
22
3
Normalised EBITDA excludes non-trading adjustments of $1.7m pre-tax related to restructuring and resetting the business
as part of the strategic plan. Further details included in appendix to the FY23 Results presentation
does a lot of work in the energy and commercial
construction sectors. Projects have been delayed,
with activity pushed out into FY24. Likewise, the
launch of MOVE’s new trans-Tasman shipping
route was also delayed due to weather events, as
well as the difficulty in getting parts for repairs and
maintenance over the Christmas/New Year period
prior to the service being launched.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
This year’s results reflect the operating conditions
noted above as well as the ongoing work to
strengthen our business, build resilience for the
ongoing economic cycle and prepare for growth.
The business transformation, which started in FY22,
has seen good progress being made in some areas,
however, there is still work to be done ahead of
improving results. The company has now embarked
on Project Blueprint to drive organic growth
and improvements in operational and financial
performance over the next 12 to 18 months.
Excluding Freight, MOVE’s businesses all delivered
year on year revenue increases, with EBITDA
reflecting inflationary pressure on costs, investment
into digital tools and piloting of new initiatives,
including MOVE’s new Oceans trans-Tasman
shipping service. Pleasingly, Contract Logistics,
MOVE’s largest division, delivered a solid year on year
performance, helping to offset a disappointing result
from the Freight division.
FY23 income was down 4.5% year on year to $347.7m.
Normalised EBITDA
3
was $47.4m including a $3.4m
impact from investment in growth initiatives. MOVE
reported a Net Loss After Tax of $(7.2)m.
Freight was the biggest contributor to the softer
result, with a decrease in revenue driven in part by
the rate realignment, as well as the unexpected
loss of a customer contract of $11m in annualised
revenue, from December 2022. A key focus has been
on rebuilding activity.
Following a review, the Specialist business was
reintegrated into the Group and FY22 results have
been restated to include Specialist. It had a strong
year in FY23 following Covid impacts in FY22 and is
a high performing business which delivers robust
margins.
Tight control of costs and disciplined working capital
management supported free cash flow of $35.4m,
which reflects the acquisition of the new trans-
Tasman vessel. Under Project Blueprint, we have
commenced a programme to rightsize our Freight
business for current trading, while preserving the
ability to quickly scale for growth, with cost benefits
expected from FY24.
Net capital expenditure increased in FY23 with the
acquisition of the new vessel ($8.5m) and continued
investment in technology. The year on year increase
reflects a catch-up on lower spending in prior
years and a prudent approach to balance sheet
management during the pandemic.
Net debt reduced by 25% to $15.6m as a result of
the conversion of the convertible note in June 2023
and from cashflows. MOVE has a solid balance
sheet which will support the company through the
economic cycle.

MOVE is one of the largest domestic freight providers
in New Zealand, offering both general freight and
specialised services. This is MOVE’s heritage business
and has been built up over 150 years, through both
organic growth and acquisitions.
The Freight improvement programme is driving
change across the business, however, there is more
work to be done. It took some time to get traction
following the rate realignment in FY22 and customer
demand has also been impacted by wet weather
and economic headwinds. Over the last six months,
the focus has been on stabilising the team and
focusing on higher margin business.
MOVE is seen as a very credible alternative to
other large providers in the market, and our team
culture and focus on building relationships with
23
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
our customers appeals to businesses looking for a
partnership approach. We are moving into FY24 with
an expanded sales team as we continue to enhance
our customer value proposition.
The division has been restructured into two clear
offers - LCL (less than a container load) and FTL (full
truck load). LCL provides the most opportunity for
our business, with higher margins and increased
opportunity for value-add services. MOVE also has a
specialised fleet of trucks, tankers and hi-ab trucks
servicing the apiary, aquaculture, construction, wine
and other sectors.
The LCL branch network is very robust, with capacity
to take on new business with limited extra cost. In
Napier and Tauranga, we have combined Freight
and Contract Logistics onto one site, providing
synergies and cost benefits. This is something we will
continue to look at in other cities and regions. We
have significant talent within our business and are
building the capability of our branch leaders as we
entrust them with responsibility for the financial and
operational performance of their branch. Our priority
is to improve productivity and utilisation in the LCL
business.
The digital journey is underway, with the new
Transport Management System (FuseIT) piloted and
due to be rolled out over the coming year. A $1.1m
investment cost was included in the FY23 result.
This year’s Freight results were disappointing,
reflecting the continuation of the improvement
programme, with a weak first half year as the
customer base was reset and stabilised as well as
the impact of weather and economic conditions
in Q1 2023. The unexpected contract loss of $11m in
annualised revenue also impacted on results from
December 2022.
Our priorities in FY24 are focused around our
LCL business - improving fleet utilisation and
productivity, driving sales, the rollout of a fit for
purpose technology platform, improved data
collation and analysis, and robust processes and
operational disciplines.
We expect improving returns from 2H24 as changes
are bedded in and with a renewed focus on our
customer value proposition.

Contract Logistics provides solutions for large
customers and is built on long term relationships. It
comprises our warehousing and fuels assets and
works with the other businesses within our group to
provide end to end supply chain solutions.
The focus in FY23 was on utilisation of capacity and
getting the most out of the assets which we already
own. This has largely been achieved, with strong
warehousing demand and activity despite the
economic conditions. While there has been some
customer churn, this has been more than made up
for with contract renewals and new customer wins.
The business has been stabilised and delivered a
solid EBITDA result in line with the prior year. A focus
on cost control in the high inflation environment is
helping to deliver consistent margin performance.
MOVE’s specialist road tanker division is one of
the largest operators in the New Zealand fuel
delivery market. A highlight for the Fuels business
was the renewal of the Z Energy fuel transport and
distribution contract. This covers delivery of fuel
from Z’s terminals to its nationwide network of retail
and truck stops, which includes Caltex branded
sites. Investment has been made in new trucks and
trailers, ensuring a safe and modern fleet. Results
were down slightly year on year due to the loss of
a customer contract in 2H22, and higher driver and
R&M costs.
While there is still positive momentum, a softer year
is expected in FY24 as customer activity slows in
response to economic conditions. The continuing
focus is on customer service, utilisation of capacity
and getting the most out of the assets we own.
INTERNATIONAL
Revenue $19.8m ▲82%
EBITDA $2.2m ▼42%
EBITDA Margin 11.1%
While small, MOVE’s International division provides
valuable freight forwarding and shipping agency
services through a number of joint ventures and
partnerships. It is also home to our latest initiative,
MOVE’s new shipping service, which commenced in
January 2023.
The costs associated with the start-up of the new
trans-Tasman shipping route, as well as lower
international freight demand has seen across the
industry, resulted in a year on year reduction in
EBITDA for the division.
The launch of the new trans-Tasman service was
not without its challenges, with weather delaying the
arrival of the vessel and then difficulties sourcing
parts over the New Year period for maintenance prior
to the first voyage. A charter vessel was contracted
for January to meet customer obligations prior to the
Atlas Wind starting her maiden voyage. It has been
smooth sailing since then, and we are now onto our
eighth voyage.
The first six months of this start-up have provided
us with the opportunity to refine our offer, including
our port schedule and frequency. Our focus on
secondary ports provides a unique advantage,
helping to avoid the congestion at bigger ports. We
have had positive feedback from customers, with a
number of new opportunities opening up.
The shipping service also provides valuable add-
on services for the MOVE group, with our trucks,
crossdocks and warehouses used to deliver cargo
once it arrives in New Zealand. Our people are
excited and engaged with this new initiative with
useful input being provided from across the group.
There is potential to build this part of MOVE’s supply
chain and we are looking to grow our team and
capability to increase efficiency and make the most
of the opportunity available to us.

SPECIALIST
Revenue $18.7m ▲32%
EBITDA $4.3m ▲132%
EBITDA Margin 23.0%
The Specialist business comprises Tranzcarr Heavy
Haulage and Machinery Movers, both offering
specialised services, with a focus on project work.
MOVE’s breadth, scale and expertise in this area is
unsurpassed by any other provider in New Zealand.
After a strategic review of the business in FY22, it
has now been removed from sale and reintegrated
back into the group. The Specialist division is high
performing and delivers strong margins.
Much of the work undertaken by Tranzcarr Heavy
Haulage is project-based and therefore revenue is
lumpier than our other businesses, and we are more
impacted by changes to project timelines. After
being severely impacted by Covid-related delays
and disruption in FY21/22, projects have been coming
back on stream, however, this year we have seen
road closures affecting large windfarm projects, as
well as solar energy and geothermal developments.
This has seen some project timelines extended
further, with activity and the corresponding revenue
pushed out into 1H24.
Machinery Movers carries large and oversize
items, and is one of the largest carriers of pre-cast
concrete panels for the construction industry. After
a very busy period in FY22 and early FY23, activity is
now slowing, driven by a moderation in apartment
buildings under construction in Auckland at this
time. However, a strong pipeline of work in is in place
over the next 12 months, especially in the power
generation sector, where Specialist is recognised as
a market leader, with significant expertise.
There are good opportunities to grow market share
and expand into other sectors. The dismantling of
Marsden Point, expansion of the Tiwai alumunium
smelter, wind energy and the potential for offshore
windfarms all offer opportunities for our business.
The FY23 results were a strong rebound from the
prior year, and a substantial pipeline of work is in
place for FY24.
ENABLING OUR GROWTH
Passionate and Talented People
MOVE has a team of extraordinary people. Our
culture revolves around “We MOVE as One” and this
has been increasingly important as we have moved
away from silo businesses into an integrated group.
The biggest change over the last six months has
been in how we engage with our people. Their own
insights into their roles and their businesses are key
to making MOVE a better company, and we are
putting more trust in our people to solve problems
and deliver solutions that drive positive outcomes.
A new general manager has been appointed to
lead our People & Culture focus. Rachel Hustler has
significant industry experience and is a talented
leader. Her goal is to develop a long term strategy
where our people are united, engaged, believe in
our brand and are provided with career pathways
and opportunities for growth. She has hit the ground
running and already a number of exciting new
initiatives are in the planning stages.
Technology and Innovation
We are making good progress on our journey to
digitally transform our business. The first phase,
to standardise the various IT systems across the
group, is complete. The focus for 2023/4 is now
on optimising the environment which will enable
our extended MOVE team to work and collaborate
effectively.
A significant investment in new, fit for purpose
scanners has resulted in a significant improvement
in real time visibility of our customer’s freight,
especially Proof of Delivery. This has resulted in more
accurate tracking and reporting, timely invoicing,
and better support and engagement with our
drivers.
We have continued the roll out of the real time
fatigue alert monitoring system across our fleet, as
part of our commitment to ensuring safety on New
Zealand roads.
27
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Phase 1 of our transport management system
(FuseIT) program is complete, and we are on track to
commence the deployment to the rest of the MOVE
Freight business in the first half of 2024. Logistics will
follow in mid-2024. FuseIT will allow us to provide
a superior customer experience and operating
efficiencies.
The payroll functionality of our new People & Culture
platform (Ready Workforce) will be rolled out
across the group late this calendar year. From 2024
onwards, we will be leveraging the onboarding and
training functionality of system.
OUTLOOK
We expect the slowing economic conditions to
prevail into FY24, along with the usual slowdown of
activity prior to an election. While this will inevitably
lead to a reduction in activity levels across the
freight and logistics sectors, our focus is on
embedding change, building our market share and
improving margins.
Inflationary pressures are expected to continue and
will demand regular interaction with clients as to rate
levels and sustainability. The Freight improvement
remains in progress and the gains from this will be
a key driver of improving financial returns. Our new
trans-Tasman shipping route is also opening up new
opportunities for us and we will be building on these
over the next year. We are pleased to be welcoming
a new National Sales Manager from October 2023.
Ricky Clark has a strong operational and sales
background in the logistics sector and will lead our
sales team as we promote our end to end supply
chain offer and position MOVE as the preferred
supplier for New Zealand and Australian businesses.
The work we have been doing, and continue to do,
to strengthen our business stands us in good stead
in the more challenging economic cycle with a
better understanding of our drivers, more efficient
management of our businesses, and a strong
and engaged workforce. We now have a more
resilient business and are prepared for economic
and market changes. We will continue to drive
improvement under Project Blueprint as we reshape
and strengthen our business and drive growth. We
have identified the opportunities in our business and
are looking forward to unlocking our potential.
MOVE is an iconic New Zealand company, which has
been operating for over 150 years. I am privileged to
be leading the MOVE team as we focus on excellent
customer service, providing a rewarding workplace
and delivering improving value for our shareholders.

The generator was lifted in two stages, rising 11m
up in the air and then travelling approximately 30
metres to its final position. The 440 tonne Lift n Lock
Hydraulic Gantry Lift system utilised is a specialised
piece of equipment that has also been used on
several other jobs in New Zealand and the South

Taking care of what
matters.
We are actively seeking to
have a positive impact on our
people, communities and the
environment.
We recognise that the effects of what we do every
day go beyond our company and impact on our
people, our communities and our environment. We
are committed to ensuring that, as much as possible,
these effects are beneficial and sustainable.
Our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
practices are focused around those areas where
we can drive meaningful change. We believe that
by focusing on these areas, we will earn our social
licence to operate, secure a sustainable future
for our company and thereby create long term
shareholder value.
While we are at the early stages of our ESG journey,
we are making good progress. We have completed a
materiality assessment to identify those areas which
are most important for long term sustainability.
Over the past year, we have undertaken further
steps to understand our resilience to climate-
related impacts and prepare for the mandatory
Climate-Related Disclosures (CRD) reporting regime
in FY24. This included scenario analysis, identifying
and integrating climate related risks into our risk
framework, and measuring full Scope 3 emissions.
A Board-approved Sustainability Policy is also now
in place and available to view on MOVE’s website.
From 1 July 2023, MOVE will be implementing a new
ESG tool to provide more granular information and
reporting across the business.

MOVE’s sustainability
journey.
Is there a viable alternative fuel technology for the
trucking industry?
All the major truck manufacturers are investing
heavily in R&D to create viable low emissions options
for our industry, including EV, hydrogen and hybrid
technologies. While this may suit smaller metro
vehicles, at this stage there are no commercially
proven alternatives for larger, long distance trucks.
We are awaiting the delivery of two hydrogen fuel
cell trucks which will allow us to trial this technology
for long haul routes. In the meantime, we are
replacing our light vehicle and forklift fleets with
hybrid and full electric options as vehicles come up
for replacement.
How are you creating a culture of sustainability at
MOVE?
We are taking our people on the journey with us and
encourage them to be actively involved in setting
and achieving our goals. With the assistance of new
technology, we will be able to provide our teams
with information on sustainability performance that
relates directly to their area of the business. This will
increase the transparency of our actions and foster
a sense of accountability within our teams for the
delivery of our sustainability goals.
How is technology assisting with MOVE’s
sustainability strategy?
New digital tools are allowing us to capture detailed
information on carbon emissions, on a more
granular level. This provides more insight on how we
are tracking towards our goals, the impact of carbon
reduction projects and supports more accurate
reporting to stakeholders.
What is the benefit to MOVE’s customers?
Customers who prioritise sustainability appreciate
working with a supplier, like MOVE, which shares their
values. By focusing on sustainable practices such as
route optimisation, upgrading our fleet to Euro 6 and
investing in other low emissions options, we can help
our customers reduce their carbon emissions. This
alignment with sustainable values can enhance the
customer’s reputation and in turn, help them attract
environmentally conscious consumers.
Sustainable practices also promote greater supply
chain resilience. By incorporating sustainable
logistics options like coastal shipping and rail, we
can minimise disruptions and risks. Sustainability is a
long-term commitment and customers benefit from
building strong partnerships with companies that
share their values. By collaborating on sustainable
initiatives, we can foster a mutually beneficial
relationship built on trust, shared goals and a
common vision for a sustainable future.
We acknowledge the urgent need to address
climate change and are mindful that, by nature, the
transport industry is a high carbon emitter. While
alternative fuels are still many years from being
commercially accessible for the transport industry,
we are looking at other avenues to reduce our
footprint.
We have identified a number of opportunities to
help us on our journey, from investing in newer,
lower emitting trucks through to route optimisation
to reduce empty kms; collection and recycling of
waste to electrifying our forklifts. We are constantly
evaluating and improving our practices and are
proactively integrating climate considerations into
our investment decisions.

has utilised external expertise in the first stages of developing a CRD regime. In FY23 MOVE has identified three
climate scenarios, appropriate time horizons based on asset life, undertaken a series of internal workshops to
identify physical and transitional risks and opportunities and has integrated the identified risks into the enterprise
risk management process.
MOVE Logistics Group intends to utilise the “First time adoption relief” provided under NZ Climate Standard 2 for
some climate related disclosures.

Our community
.
“We are focused on the needs of our customers
and communities.”
OUR COMMUNITIES
MOVE was founded on regional businesses and
this connection to local New Zealand communities
remains true today. Our people live and work locally
and we support their communities through job
opportunities and support for local causes. We
provide a positive impact through work opportunities
and are investigating new training programmes,
particularly for those looking to enter the transport
industry.
OUR CUSTOMERS
The delivery of exceptional customer service is
at the heart of our business. We believe that by
actively listening to our customers, understanding
their unique needs, and consistently exceeding their
expectations, we can create an ecosystem of trust
and loyalty that benefits everyone involved.
We are taking our customers with us on our
sustainability journey, sharing with them our progress
and providing them with relevant metrics for their
own emissions reporting.
As a responsible and sustainable organisation, we
understand the importance of safeguarding our
customers’ data and ensuring the security and
privacy of their sensitive information. Over the last
few years, we have invested in our digital platform
to create a solid and secure foundation to protect
our customers and their data from potential
breaches. Our comprehensive approach involves
regular external assessments, ongoing employee
training and deploying the full Microsoft Defender
Cyber suite. By securing our digital infrastructure,
we demonstrate our dedication to ensuring our
customers’ peace of mind and protecting the
integrity of our business operations.
Our commitment to reliability ensures that our
customers can depend on us to deliver their goods
and services on time, every time, reducing potential
waste and maximising their operational efficiency.
We have taken learnings from the recent extreme
weather events to plan for future network outages.
We are also using technology to improve delivery
times, reduce carbon emissions and drive an overall
increase in customer satisfaction.
We are also committed to being innovative in
how we freight our customers’ goods around New
Zealand. Faster and smaller is not necessarily better.
While for some businesses, a Just-In-Time delivery
model makes sense, for many in New Zealand, it’s
just added cost for expensive high speed deliveries.
By utilising alternative modes of transport, such as
shipping and rail which often only take a day or
two longer, we can deliver larger loads in a timely
manner, while reducing costs to our customers and
benefitting the environment.
MOVE’S new trans-Tasman shipping service
commenced in January 2023, providing a lower
carbon, reliable transport route that connects our
customers through secondary ports in Australia and
New Zealand.

Our team
.
“We MOVE as one.”
Our greatest asset lies in the people who form the
backbone of our organisation. It is their efforts,
talent and passion for our industry that will drive our
success.
Our goals are to provide a rewarding work
environment, that celebrates diversity, encourages
inclusion and recognises the contributions of our
people. Health and safety remains a priority. Our
aspiration is for all our people to excel and we are
putting in place the tools and structure to help them
realise their potential.
The appointment of a new People & Culture
Leader, Rachel Hustler, from 1 July 2023, reflects
our commitment to driving positive change and
ensuring our team members’ well being and growth.
The Covid-pandemic restricted the opportunity
to engage in person, across our network. It was
therefore even more pleasing this year to hold
our Inaugural Branch Managers’ conference,
bringing together more than 50 of our executive
team, branch managers and future leaders from
across the group, to share with them our vision and
aspirations for MOVE.
We are designing a new induction and onboarding
programme, to ensure every new team member has
a seamless transition into the MOVE family; and we
also provide mentorship, hands-on experience, and
learning opportunities for all our people.
Looking ahead, we envision a sustainable future
through knowledge transfer and fresh perspectives.
It is our plan to introduce School Leaver and
Graduate Programmes that will attract young
talented individuals, allowing them to grow and
contribute to our organisation.
Pleasingly, we have seen recruitment and retention
metrics improve, as we create a culture where our
people feel supported, empowered and where their
efforts are recognised and rewarded.
Staying safe, keeping others safe and supporting
each other are fundamental to who we are as an
organisation. Technology plays an important role,
with electronic log books and in-cab technology to
monitor fatigue and vehicle activity, and digitised
pre-start truck checks to ensure all essential checks
are carried out before a driver heads out on the
road.
MOVE was recertified for Tertiary level under the ACC
Accredited Employers Programme in FY23, and the
Specialist division was also successfully audited and
recertified under Health and Safety ISO 45001. MOVE’s
monthly safety awards continue to be popular
across the group, with team members proud to be
recognised for their contributions towards creating a
safer workplace.
MOVE’s injury frequency rates provide a lag indicator
of performance with LTIFR rates reducing for the third
year in a row and a strong improvement in TRIFR.

Hastings branch manager,
Matt Hiscock, was on the
front line during the February
cyclone. As a volunteer
fireman, he could see the
severity of the situation and
rallied his team as the Hastings
branch was cut off from Napier
by flood waters.
All line haul trucks were diverted and those team
members with access were brought back into
work to help with despatching essential items. As
generators arrived in Hastings, the warehouse team
undertook to get them out as quickly as possible,
often using their own vehicles to make deliveries. The
team mantra was ‘to get the job done’, despite all
being affected personally by the floods in some way.
Matt’s leadership style of firm but fair saw him
shortlisted for MOVE’s Branch of the Year awards in
2023. It’s a style he has developed over his career,
with the last 10 years making his way up the ranks in
the organisation. His passion for MOVE and his drive
to grow both the business and brand has seen the
Hastings branch become one of the fastest growing
in the network, with new customers and additional
capacity being added over the last 12 months.
“MOVE is an organisation that provides opportunities
for those that have the right work ethic. I’m excited
about the forward plan for our organisation and
creating a strong team that’s focused on our
customers.”

Financial measures.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
MOVE uses several non-GAAP measures when
discussing financial performance. These include
normalised EBIT, normalised EBITDA and normalised
NPAT. The board and management believe these
measures provide useful underlying information on
MOVE’s business. They are used internally to evaluate
performance, analyse trends and allocate resources.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed
as a substitute for measures reported in accordance
with NZ IFRS.
NON-TRADING ADJUSTMENTS
The financial results for FY23 include transactions
considered to be non-trading in nature or size.
Unusual transactions can be as a result of
specific events or major acquisitions, disposals
or divestments that are not expected to occur
frequently. Excluding these transactions from
normalised measures can assist users in forming a
view on the underlying performance of MOVE. Pre-tax
non-trading adjustments totalled $1.7 million in FY23.
EBITDA/EBIT
EBITDA is Earnings/(Loss) before the deduction
of interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation
and excludes income and impairment from
associates. EBIT is EBITDA including depreciation and
amortisation. These are both non-GAAP financial
measures.
NORMALISED EBITDA/EBIT
This is EBITDA/EBIT excluding non-trading
adjustments and unusual transactions. Management
believe that normalised measures provide a more
appropriate measure of MOVE’s performance and
more useful information on the normalised earnings
of the company.
MOVE uses several non-GAAP
measures to report on financial
performance.
An explanation of these is in
the following column.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Reporting Entity
The core operations of MOVe Logistics Group Limited (“MOVe Logistics” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively
“the Group”) are in the New Zealand logistics sector. These include general transport, bulk liquids, heavy haulage,
shipping, warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding, national and international household removals and storage.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC
Reporting Entity under part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is dual listed with its primary listing
of ordinary shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a foreign Exempt
Entity on the Australian securities exchange (ASX).
The registered office of the Company is at 330 Devon Street East, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The consolidated financial
statements of the Company as at, and for the year ended 30 June 2023, comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (refer
note 16.1), together referred to as the “Group”.
1.2. Basis of Preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are
disclosed in note 4.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
and the Companies Act 1993.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are selected and applied in a
manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby
ensuring that the substance of the underlying transaction and other events is reported. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. To ensure consistency with the current period,
comparable figures have been restated where appropriate.
1.3. Statement of Compliance
The Group is a for-profit entity. Its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with, and comply with, New
Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards and Authoritive Notices, as appropriate
for for-profit entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1. Consolidation
a. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the
equity interest issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement and the elimination of any balances arising between the Group and the
acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gain or loss arising from
remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
53
ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition
by acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquisition either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are
subsequently re-measured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated Statement of
Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Balance Sheet respectively.
b. Associates
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying
a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting after initially being recognised at cost. The Group’s investment in associates includes
goodwill identified on acquisition, net of an accumulated impairment loss. The Group’s share of its associates post-
acquisition profits or losses is recognised under ‘Share of (loss) / profit of associates’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss &
Other Comprehensive Income, and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognised in reserves. The
cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group’s
share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables,
the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the
associate.
Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s
interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
c. Assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is
expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as
met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present
condition and the sale of the asset (or disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of
classification. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gain or loss on remeasurement
is recognised in profit or loss. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no
longer amortised or depreciated.
2.2. Foreign Currency Translation
a. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented
in New Zealand dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional and the presentation currency of all companies
in the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited and TNL Australia Pty Limited, whose functional currencies are
United States dollars and Australian Dollars respectively.
b. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
54
2.3. New Accounting Standards & Interpretations
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are consistent with prior year.
There are no new accounting standards or interpretations during the year that have impacted on the preparation of the
financial statements.
2.4. Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
There are no new standards or amendments to standards and interpretations that are effective for periods beginning on
or after 1 July 2023 that will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank loans and overdrafts, cash, trade creditors and accruals and
trade debtors. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise and provide working capital for the Group’s
operations.
This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks affect the Group’s future financial
performance.

Aging analysis & credit ratings
Market risk - interest rateLong term borrowing at variable ratesSensitivity analysis
Liquidity riskBorrowings and other liabilitiesRolling cash flow forecast
The Group’s risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved
by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks in close co-operation with the
Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering
specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, funding risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative financial
instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.
3.1. Credit Risk Management
In the normal course of business the Group incurs credit risk from trade debtors and transactions with financial
institutions. The Group has a credit policy that it uses to manage this risk. As part of this policy limits on exposures with
counter-parties have been set and approved by the Board of Directors and are monitored on a regular basis.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group does not require any collateral or security to support
financial instruments due to the quality of the financial institutions and trade debtors dealt with. The Group normally gives
30 or 60 days credit on its trade receivables. At 30 June the Group’s credit risk exposure is equal to the carrying value of
its financial assets.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
a. Impaired trade receivables
Individual receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The
other receivables are assessed collectively to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment has
been incurred but not yet been identified. For these receivables the estimated impairment losses are recognised in
a separate provision for impairment. The Group considers that there is evidence of impairment if any of the following
indicators are present:
• significant financial difficulties of the debtor
• probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and
• default or delinquency in payments.
Receivables for which an impairment provision was recognised are written off against the provision when there is no
expectation of recovering additional cash.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited against other expenses.

Critical Estimates and Judgements
a. Credit loss provision
To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped and reviewed on the basis of the number of
days past due. The credit loss provision has been calculated by considering the impact of the following characteristics:
• The baseline loss rate takes into account the average write-off history of the Group over a two-year period as a
predictor of future conditions and applies an increasing expected credit loss estimate by trade receivables aging
profile.
• Specific credit loss provisions are made based on any specific customer collection issues that are identified.
Collections and payments from our customers are continuously monitored and a credit loss provision is maintained
to cover any specific customer credit losses anticipated.
The Group has performed an assessment of credit risk on its customer base taking into consideration the factors below:
• profile of the customer, i.e. corporate or individual customers
• region the customer is based in
• industry the customer operates within
• size and nature of the customer
• and, the Group’s understanding of and experience with the customer
As a result of this assessment, the Group has assessed its baseline provision to $1,965,000 (2022: $1,402,000), to reflect the
estimated financial impact of its assessment of the credit risk.
3.2. Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowing with variable rates which exposes the Group to cash
flow interest rate risk. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that some of its exposure to changes in interest rates on
borrowings is on a fixed rate basis by entering into interest rate swaps.
The table below summarises the Group’s current interest rate swaps:
Date effectiveFace valueMaturity dateBase Interest rate paid
29 July 201920,000,00029 April 20241.625% pa
The Group does not hedge account so all market adjustments are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss & Other
Comprehensive Income.
Sensitivity analysis
The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the floating interest rates for the Group would be a decrease/increase in profit
and equity of $43,000 (2022: $80,000).
3.3. Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group
maintains flexibility in funding through having flexible funding lines available to them. Management monitors rolling
forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve, which comprises its undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents
(note 12.1) on the basis of expected cash flows.
The Group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

3.4. Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they
can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal structure
to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio and bank covenant compliance. The Group’s gearing ratio at

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Other
critical accounting estimates will be disclosed in the relevant notes.
a. Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating
units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. Refer to
note 13.3 for further details.
5. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and
comply with both International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
These financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The
non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations
(a GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, share of loss of
associates, restructuring costs, impairment of investment in associates, asset impairment and acquisition related
costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
• Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations
(a GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, share of loss of associates, restructuring costs,
impairment of investment in associates, asset impairment and acquisition related costs (non operating expenses)
as reported in the financial statements.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding
of the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of
business units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a subsitute for
measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable to
similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net profit after tax:

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
During the reportable period there was a change in the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assessed now as the
Group CEO.
The Group has made the decision that the eleven operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Group CEO
can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard to the
nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of capital,
the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.
In addition to GAAP measures, the Group CEO also uses non-GAAP measures (EBITDA and EBIT) to assess the commercial
performance of the segments. The revised reportable operating segments have been determined as:
INTERNATIONAL
This segment includes international freight forwarding and shipping agency services across a broad range of industries.
SPECIALIST
This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.
FREIGHT
This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide
range of freight types.
CONTRACT LOGISTICS
This segment specialises in contracted solutions providing services for customers including warehouse and supply chain
capability and delivery of bulk liquids.
CORPORATE
This segment includes our corporate services function.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury
function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment
revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.
Revenues of approximately $53,000,000 (2022: $47,100,000) are derived from a single external customer which exceeds
10% or more of the entity’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Contract Logistics segment.

7. REVENUE & OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary course
of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of GST, rebates and after eliminating sales within the Group.
a. Sale of services
Freight Services
The Group performs transportation services. Revenue is recognised over the time of delivery, being from the time of
acceptance of the goods to delivery to the final destination.
Warehousing Services
The logistics function provides warehousing and storage services. Revenue from providing these services is recognised in
the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Some contracts include multiple deliverables. However, these
are easily identifiable and are accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Trading Services
The Group performs freight forwarding, trans tasman shipping and agency services. Revenue is recognised over the time
of delivery, being from the time of acceptance of the job to completion of the shipment. Revenue is recognised for agency
and freight forwarding on a net basis after disbursements as the Group are acting as an agent for the customer.
For fixed priced contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period
as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is because the customer receives and uses the benefits of the
service simultaneously.
Customers are invoiced on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and consideration is payable when invoiced. There are no
significant financing arrangements for any of the Group’s revenue streams. The Group does not offer any refunds or
warranties.

b. Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
c. Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
d. Lease income
Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised as rental income on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
e. Financing component
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised service to the
customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the
transaction prices for the time value of money.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
62
f. Contract liability
The Group recognises a contract liability (deferred revenue) when the Group has recognised consideration for
performance obligations yet to be fulfilled. The opening balance has been recognised in revenue in the current year.
In the current year, there was $341,000 (2022: $504,000) of revenue recognised relating to contract liabilities at the prior
year end. The average timing of satisfaction of performance obligation in relation to the payment of the contract liability
is between 1 and 5 days. Management expects that 100% of the revenue (transaction price) allocated to unsatisfied
performance obligations as of 30 June 2023 will be recognised as revenue during the next reporting period ($521,000).
g. Government grants
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received, and the Group will comply with the attached conditions.
COVID-19 wage subsidy grants of $114,000 (2022: $447,000) and a grant from Waka Kotahi to support a co-funded coastal
shipping initiative $0 (2022: $750,000) are both included in the ‘other income’ line item. There are no unfulfilled conditions
or other contingencies attached to these grants.
During the year the Group received $3,000,000 (remaining grant to be received of $6.25m) from Waka Kotahi to support
the co-funded coastal shipping initiative. The funding is included as deferred revenue as this relates to funding for a ship
of which the build is yet to be completed. Once completed, the grant will be recognised in profit or loss over the period
necessary to match them with the conditions they are intended to compensate (over the life of the asset).

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
8.1. Employee Costs
a. Superannuation benefits
The Group operates a defined contribution superannuation scheme. The scheme is funded through employee and Group
contributions to a trustee-administered fund. The Group has no further payment obligations once contributions have
been paid. Contributions are recognised as an employee benefits expense when they are due.
MOV
e Freight Limited has a historic defined contribution company superannuation scheme that has been operating for a
number of years. The Company has contribution rates from 4% - 6%.
Members contribute a minimum of 4% of their salary/wage and can go as high as 15%. The Company contributions are
vested to the member at the rate of 20% per year of service with the Company i.e. 100% after five years of service.
b. Other employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave are expected to be
settled within 12 months. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
c. Long service leave
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods
of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality
corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Re-
measurement as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or
loss.
d. Profit-sharing and bonus plans
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into
consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a
provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The tax expense for the year comprised current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit or loss component of the
Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

No dividends have been declared by the company or recognised in the current year (2022: nil).
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is computed based
on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on
the weighted average number of ordinary shares plus the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during
the period. At balance date, the effects of the potential ordinary shares were antidilutive. The potential ordinary shares
include the share options.

12. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the
financial assets are held. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the
reporting date which are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s financial assets comprise ‘Trade and other
receivables’, ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ and ‘Advances to associates’ in the Balance Sheet. Financial assets that are
stated at amortised cost are reviewed individually at balance date to determine whether there is objective evidence
of impairment. Any impairment losses are recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and other
comprehensive income.
This note provides information about the Group’s financial instruments, including:
• An overview of all financial instruments held by the Group

exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets
mentioned above, other than for trade and other receivables where the maximum credit risk is the balance before
impairment, being $53,318,000 (2022: $60,678,000).
12.1. Cash and Cash Equivalents

12.2. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method less provision for expected credit loss.
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with trade receivables carried at
amortised cost. The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses
to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Impairment of trade receivables is recognised in profit or loss.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation,
and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable has been impaired. The
amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, unless they relate to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset in which case the borrowing costs are capitalised.
The ANZ Bank Limited (ANZ) facilities include a $15m flexible credit facility (undrawn at 30 June 2023), an overdraft facility
of $5m, a term loan of $24.3m and bank guarantee’s totalling $11.6m (refer note 17).

The Group is required to comply with a number of financial covenants. These are as follows:
• Leverage Ratio of <2.5x
• Fixed Charge Cover Ratio of >1.25x
• Net capital expenditure not exceeding 110% of budgeted capital expenditure
• Guarantor coverage Assets of >85%
• Guarantor coverage EBITDA of >90%
The Group has fully complied with the ANZ facility covenants to 30 June 2023.
Post year end the Group forecast potential covenant breaches due to the FY23 performance of Freight and the economic
headwinds being faced at the start of the 2024 financial year. Accordingly, the Group sought and obtained credit
approval from ANZ to amend the quarterly covenants as below:
• EBITDA actual > 85% of EBITDA budget on a YTD basis
• Net capital expenditure not exceeding 110% of budgeted capital expenditure (annual test)
• Guarantor coverage Assets of >85%
• Guarantor coverage EBITDA of >90%
The Group has also agreed with ANZ that the undrawn $15m flexible credit facility be reduced to $7.5m and that the
overdraft facility be adjusted from $5.0m to $2.5m as part of the credit approval process.
The revised agreements are subject to final review by the respective legal teams.
The Group is forecasting compliance with the credit approved financial covenants for at least 12 months from the date
of signing the financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern
basis.
12.6. Convertible Note
Convertible notes are comprised of two elements: a debt note liability component and an embedded derivative
component. At the inception, the fair value of the host liability portion of the convertible notes is determined as being the
difference between the proceeds and the fair value of any identifiable derivative contained within the note. This amount
is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes.
The fair value of the embedded derivative component is calculated through a valuation model using a variety
of assumptions, with the residual value assigned to the debt host components. The estimates and associated
assumptions are based on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results for
which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and
underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. No gain or loss on fair value changes is recognised on
inception. Valuation of the embedded derivative is calculated at each year end, with any gain or loss recognised in the
consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive income.
The debt liability component is subsequently carried at amortised cost. Each note has a principal amount of $50k with a
maturity date of 30 April 2026. Interest of 5% per annum is paid quarterly on the convertible notes.
Embedded derivatives
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting
date.
An embedded derivative is a component of a hybrid contract that also includes a non-derivative host (e.g. convertible
notes). Derivatives embedded in hybrid contracts that are financial liabilities are treated as separate derivatives when
they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to the host contract and the
host contract is not measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The conversion option of the convertible note represents an embedded derivative which is separated from the debt host
contract on initial recognition and measured through the profit and loss. The debt component is held at amortised cost
and on initial recognition is offset by the fair value of the conversion element, this is incorporated in the effective interest
which is recognised over the term to optimal conversion date.
On 30 June 2023 in line with the option to convert, all note holders converted the total of $8.2m notes into shares. All notes
were converted to shares at a variable rate based on a 10% discount to the market price totaling 11,228,890 shares (refer
note 14).

13. NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This note provides information about the Group’s non-financial assets and liabilities, including specific information
about each type of non-financial asset and non-financial liability:
• Property, plant and equipment (note 13.1)
• ROU assets and lease liabilities (note 13.2)
• Intangible assets (note 13.3)
• Deferred tax balances (note 13.4)
• Provisions for other liabilities and charges (note 13.5)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill, indefinite-life intangible assets and intangible assets that are not yet ready for use are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount
is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating
units). Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the
impairment at each reporting date.
13.1. Property, Plant and Equipment
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that
is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate,
only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation on assets is calculated using the diminishing value (DV) or straight-line (SL) method.

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised
within ‘Gains on disposal of assets’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income.

13.2. Right Of Use (ROU) Assets and Lease Liabilities
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net
present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable and
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined,
the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an
expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT
equipment and small items of office furniture.
Right of use assets are measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any lease
incentives received or restoration costs estimated. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an
adjustment to the right of use assets at the date of initial application. These assets are subsequently depreciated using
the straight-line method.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
72
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities is
4.66% (2022: 4.49%).
The Group uses a build up approach that starts with a risk free interest rate adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk for
leases held by the Group and then makes specific adjustments for lease terms.
During the year, the Group applied the following practical expedients:
• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases
• the use of historical experience in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or
terminate the lease
• recognising rental concessions obtained as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic as a reduction to rental
expenses in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income

13.3. Intangible Assets
a. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the
Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in ‘Intangible
assets’ in the Balance Sheet. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in ‘Investments in associates’ in the
balance sheet and is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. Separately recognised goodwill is tested
annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not
reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination on
which the goodwill arose.
b. Computer software and Software-as-a-service (SaaS) arrangements
Acquired computer software is capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific
software. These costs are amortised, using the diminishing value method at a rate of 48% and recognised in the profit or
loss. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred.
SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Company with the right to access the cloud provider’s
application software over the contract period. Costs incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to obtain
access to the cloud provider’s application software, are recognised as operating expenses when the services are
received.
Some of these costs incurred are for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional
capability to, existing on-premise systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset.
These costs are recognised as intangible software assets and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-
line basis. The useful lives of these assets are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year, and any change
accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
c. Customer contracts and lists
Acquired customer contracts and lists are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently
amortised on a straight-line basis over the appropriate contract term. Amortisation expense is recognised in the profit or
loss.

The Group tests goodwill for impairment using the higher of value in use calculations with cash flow projections based
on a five-year period and the fair value less costs to sell. Management has prepared an upside, downside and base
scenario for each CGU. Each of these include the Board approved cash flow projections with cashflows beyond this
extrapolated using the assumptions as noted below. The final value in use calculations for each CGU apply an assessed
probability weighting to the three scenarios.
As part of the impairment assessment , MOVE Freight Limited goodwill of $1,027,000 has been fully impaired as a result of
an overall decrease in sales and a loss of a key customer contract ($11m in sales per annum). The impairment charge is
recognised in the non operating expenses in the statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. No other
class of assets have been impaired. Management has concluded that there are no other impairments for any other of
the CGUs at 30 June 2023. The MOV
e Logistics & Warehousing Limited CGU has a significant goodwill balance at 30 June
2023.

*Probability weighted
The discount rate represents the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU considering the time value of
money and individual risk of the underlying assets. The discount rate is calculated based on the specific circumstances
of the CGU and its operations and is derived from its weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The Group engaged an
independent third party to assess the post-tax weighted average cost of capital for each of the CGUs. These post-tax
discount rates were applied to post-tax cash flows.
The long-term growth rate is based on growth projections, market conditions and opportunities for growth within the
industry.
The net right of use assets and lease liabilities have been included in the carrying amount of net operating assets that
have been tested for impairment for each of the CGUs.
Future revenue projections are based on assumed growth in sales revenue for both new and existing customers in the
warehousing divison. Management have confidence in the strategy to achieve this given the opportunities both internally
and the demand within the market.
Based on the probability weighted value in use calculations, the recoverable amounts of the CGU exceed their carrying
value at 30 June 2023 by the following amounts:
• MOVe Logistics & Warehousing Limited CGU: $30.4m
In respect of the MOVe Logistics & Warehousing Limited CGU any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions
used in the calculations would not cause the carrying value to exceed their recoverable amounts. Management has
concluded that the goodwill balances at 30 June 2023 are not impaired (either using the probability weighted case or
any of the individual scenarios), although they will continue to monitor the position closely for any evidence that the
goodwill has become impaired.
13.4. Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income
tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax
is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and
are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle
the balances on a net basis.

20. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS
The group had a long term incentive plan for selected employees which has since been withdrawn by the Directors
as per the discretion allowed for under the plan rules. No options were granted during the year ended 30 June 2023.
There are some existing share options under the plan where the vesting of these is dependant on certain performance
standards being met which expire 30 June 2023.
Share-based payment reserve
The reserve is used to record the accumulated value of the plan which has been recognised in the Statement of Profit
or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income. The long-term incentive plan was an equity settled-share-based payment
which provided eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire shares in the Group. The fair value of shares granted is
recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value is measured at grant
date and recognised over the vesting period. The fair value of the plan has been assessed by an independent valuer.
Amounts accumulated in the employee share scheme reserve are transferred to share capital on redemption of
the redeemable shares or to retained earnings where they are forfeited. At the end of each reporting period the
Group revises its estimate of the number of redeemable shares that are expected to vest based on the non-market
vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a
corresponding adjustment to the employee share scheme reserve.
Set out below are summaries of options granted under the plan:

As at 30 June 2023 for the share options granted 1 July 2020 the total shareholder return was 22.1% which met the
performance hurdle. Based on a straight line basis 62% of the options were exercisable. In agreement with the eligible
participants these were settled in cash. The remaining share options were forfeited.
There are no share options outstanding at 30 June 2023.
During the year the Group CEO was issued RSU’s which have subsequently been surrendered. These were surrendered by
him to ensure that his incentives aligned with the incentives of the wider MOVE team.

21. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In May 2022, the Board approved and announced its intention to undertake a formal sales process to investigate the
market interest in the sale/asset disposal of its subsidiary company MOVE Specialist Lifting & Transport Ltd which operates
in the Specialist segment. The Specialist company had been classified as held for sale and is a discontinued operation
under NZ IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations at 30 June 2022.
In March 2023, it was determined after appointment of new CEO and a strategic review that MOVE Specialist Lifting
and Transport Ltd no longer met the criteria to be disclosed as held of sale resulting in it no longer being actively
marketed for sale. As a result, the Profit or Loss has been restated for the year ended 30 June 2022 to reflect comparable
numbers consistent with that presented in the year ended 30 June 2023. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities
was asssessed and then reclassified to the relelvant sections in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. No impairment was
recognised.
22. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Post year end the Group has obtained credit approval from the ANZ to amend the quarterly covenants and reduce its
overdraft and flexible credit facilities (refer note 12.5).

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Carrying value of Goodwill
As at 30 June 2023, the Group had a total
goodwill balance of $13.6m, as disclosed
in note 13.3. This is allocated across four
cash generating units (CGU's).
Management performed a value-in-use
(VIU) impairment test at 30 June 2023
using a discounted cash flow model
based on probability-weighted forecast
cash flows for the Move Logistics and
Warehousing Limited CGU and
determined that t
here was no impairment
of goodwill required. Key estimates and
assumptions in the VIU models include
the discount rates and long-term growth
rates used in the impairment model.
As disclosed in Note 13.3, the Group saw
a decrease in sales and a loss of a key
customer contract in the Move Freight
Limited CGU. As a result of this, the full
amount of Goodwill was impaired in the
year.
The g
oodwill impairment test for the Move
Logistics and Warehousing Limited CGU
is considered a key audit matter due to
the significant level of management
judgement applied in estimating future
cash flows and other key assumptions in
determining the recoverable amount of
this CGU.
We obtained the impairment tests prepared by
management for Move Logistics and Warehousing
Limited, as this is the largest CGU representing
$12.5m of the balance, and understood the process
undertaken to prepare the forecasts and the
assumptions used.
We understood the controls that management have in
relation to the impairment assessment of goodwill and
evaluated their design.
We consid
ered management's assessment of the
respective CGUs in the Group and the allocation of
corporate assets in the CGUs.
We gained an understanding of the forecast outlook
for the industry and CGUs, and for the strategic
direction of the business. We compared the forecasts
used within the impairment models against historical
actual trading results, taking into account the impact of
the Covid-1
9 pandemic, to assess if the growth rates
used in the model were reasonable.
We assessed the reliability of management's
forecasting process in previous years and considered
the impact on the assessment of forecast earnings.
We tested the mathematical accuracy of the models
used, including that they utilised the assumptions
disclosed in note 13.3, and that the recoverable
amount calculated
was greater than the carrying
amount of the CGU.
We considered the Move Freight Limited impairment
model, including the impact of the loss of the key
customer contract, which supported the goodwill
impairment.
We used our auditor's expert, to assist us in assessing
and challenging whether the assumptions used in the
model were reasonable. The key areas assessed
included:
● the valuatio
n methodology used;
● the reasonableness of the discount rate; and
● comparing inputs to relevant market and industry
information.
We audited the disclosures in note 13.3 of the
consolidated financial statements to ensure that they
are compliant with the requirements of the relevant
accounting standards.

Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Carrying value of Goodwill
As at 30 June 2023, the Group had a total
goodwill balance of $13.6m, as disclosed
in note 13.3. This is allocated across four
cash generating units (CGU's).
Management performed a value-in-use
(VIU) impairment test at 30 June 2023
using a discounted cash flow model
based on probability-weighted forecast
cash flows for the Move Logistics and
Warehousing Limite
d CGU and
determined that there was no impairment
of goodwill required. Key estimates and
assumptions in the VIU models include
the discount rates and long-term growth
rates used in the impairment model.
As disclosed in Note 13.3, the Group saw
a decrease in sales and a loss of a key
customer contract in the Move Freight
Limited CGU. As a result of this, the full
amount of Goodwill was i
mpaired in the
year.
The goodwill impairment test for the Move
Logistics and Warehousing Limited CGU
is considered a key audit matter due to
the significant level of management
judgement applied in estimating future
cash flows and other key assumptions in
determining the recoverable amount of
this CGU.
We obtained the impairment tests prepared by
management for Move Logistics and Warehousing
Limited, as this is the largest CGU representing
$12.5m of the balance, and understood the process
undertaken to prepare the forecasts and the
assumptions used.
We understood the controls that management have in
relation to the impairment assessment of goodwill and
evaluated their design.
We con
sidered management's assessment of the
respective CGUs in the Group and the allocation of
corporate assets in the CGUs.
We gained an understanding of the forecast outlook
for the industry and CGUs, and for the strategic
direction of the business. We compared the forecasts
used within the impairment models against historical
actual trading results, taking into account the impact of
the Covi
d-19 pandemic, to assess if the growth rates
used in the model were reasonable.

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $1.14 million, which represents
approximately 2.5% of Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation
and Amortisation (‘EBITDA’).
We chose Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and
Amortisation (‘EBITDA’) as the benchmark because, in our view, it is
the benchmark against which the performance of the Group is most
commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted
benchmark.
Full scope audits were performed for 5 of 13 entities in the Group
based on their financial significance;
Specified audit procedures and analytical review procedures were
performed on the remaining entities.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
● Carrying value of Goodwill
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where
management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates
that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherentl
y uncertain. As in all
of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among
other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance a
bout whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain
quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit,
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate, on the conso
lidated financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion
on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information
that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal
control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is
located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:

This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
At MOVE Logistics Group Limited (MOVE)(the Company), we believe good corporate governance is essential to
protect the interests of investors and create and enhance value over the short and long term. We are committed
to conducting business in the right way: ethically, sustainably and in line with our legal and regulatory obligations.
The Board has adopted corporate policies and procedures that reflect best practice and MOVE follows the
principles and recommendations of the NZX Corporate Governance Code (the Code). We believe that the
Company’s corporate governance practices in FY23 materially align with the Code dated 1 April 2023. The following
pages summarise our corporate governance practices and progress in FY23.
The information contained in this corporate governance statement has been prepared in accordance with NZX
Listing Rule 3.8.1(a). This governance statement is current as at 30 June 2023 and was approved by the Board on
29 August 2023.
1. ETHICAL STANDARDS
1.1 Code of Ethics
MOVE expects its Directors and employees to act with integrity and professionalism and undertake their duties
in the best interests of the Company. The Company’s Code of Ethics is available on the Company website and is
available to all team members.
The Code of Ethics is included in the New Employee Induction pack and all employees are required to attest that
they have reviewed and understand the scope of relevant governance policies. With the appointment of a new
GM People & Culture, MOVE will be establishing a framework for ongoing training on the Code of Ethics.
MOVE encourages employees to speak out if they have concerns about any area of the Company. The avenues
for doing so are detailed in the Company’s Whistleblower Policy which is on the Company website. In FY24, MOVE
will consider providing access to a third party confidential agency as part of its whistle-blowing processes.
1.2 Securities Trading Policy
MOVE’s Securities Trading Policy and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, impose limitations and requirements
on Directors and employees dealing in the Company’s shares. These limitations prohibit dealing in shares while in
possession of inside information and impose requirements for seeking consent to trade. MOVE’s Securities Trading
Policy is available in the Investor centre on MOVE’s website.
While there is no formal requirement to do so, the majority of MOVE’s directors hold shares in the company either
directly or through affiliates. Details of directors’ share dealings are set out on page 93 of this report.
2. BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
2.1 Board Charter
The roles and responsibilities of the Board are detailed in the Board Charter, which is reviewed at least every two
years and is available on the Company’s website. The Board’s primary objective is to enhance shareholder value
and protect the interests of other stakeholders by improving corporate performance and accountability.
The Board has delegated authority for day-to-day leadership and management of the business to the Group
CEO, who in turn has sub-delegated authority to other Company management with specified financial and non-
financial limits. MOVE has a Delegations of Authority Policy, which is reviewed annually by the Board.
2.2 Nomination and Appointment of Directors
The number of elected Directors and the procedure for their retirement, nomination and election is set out in the
Company Constitution and NZX Listing Rules. Directors must retire and may stand for re-election by shareholders
at least every three years. A Director appointed since the previous annual meeting may hold office only until the
next annual meeting but is then eligible for re-election at that meeting.
All Directors are involved in the consideration of Board composition and nominations and take into account a
number of factors including qualifications, capability, experience, judgement and skills, and the ability to work
with other Directors. The Board is supported in this work by the Governance and Remuneration Committee. The
collective capability of the current Board is assessed against requirements and the search then focuses on finding
a board member who will best complement the current mix of capabilities on the board.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
98
Shareholders may also nominate candidates for election to the Board, in accordance with the constitution of the
Company and the NZX Listing Rules. Reference checks are carried out on all candidates and key information about
candidates is provided to shareholders to assist their decision whether or not to elect or re-elect a candidate.
Key information is provided to shareholders when a director stands for election or re-election.
2.3 Written agreements
The Company has written agreements with each Director, establishing the terms of their appointment. The
Company has arranged a policy of Directors’ and Officers’ liability insurance. This policy covers the Directors and
Officers so that any monetary loss suffered by them as a result of actions undertaken by them as Directors or
Officers is insured to specified limits (subject to legal requirements and/or restrictions).
The Company has also entered a Deed of Indemnity and Access with each Director. The terms of the indemnities
granted to Directors (as permitted by the MOVE constitution) are included in these Deeds together with
information access rights and agreed procedures for the conduct of legal claims.
2.4 Director Information
As at the date of this Annual Report, the MOVE Board comprises five independent Directors and one non-
independent, non-executive Director. Profiles of Directors are available on the Company’s website and on pages
40 and 41 of this Report.
Julia Raue was appointed as a Director in May 2023. Julia has a strong background in business transformation and
digital change. Prior to Julia’s appointment to the Board, MOVE undertook a full governance review, considered its
skills matrix and identified that Julia’s skills and experience would add value to the Board. The Board considers that
Julia is an independent director in accordance with the guidance set out in the Code.
Peter Dryden resigned as a Director at the annual shareholders meeting held in October 2022. Peter’s intention to
not stand for re-election at that meeting was signalled in MOVE’s 2022 Annual Report. The Board acknowledges the
valuable contribution Peter made to MOVE during his time as a Director.
Danny Chan is scheduled to retire at the 2023 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. He has advised the Board that he will
not be standing for re-election. The Board acknowledges and thanks Danny for the significant contribution he has
made to the business during his time as a Director, having held office since the time that MOVE became a listed
company. The Board is in the early stages of searching for a new Director to replace Danny and is considering the
optimal skill set and experience that it will seek in candidates. The Board will update Shareholders on progress with
this in due course.
The Board uses a skills matrix and considers several factors including qualifications, experience and skills of
Directors when appointing new Directors or considering Board composition. The Board is confident that the current
Directors offer valuable and complementary skills, experience and expertise that are of value to the Company.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
2.4 Diversity
Diversity at MOVE refers to characteristics of individuals and includes factors such as gender, marital status,
religious beliefs, colour, race, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, political views, employment status, family
status or sexual orientation. Diversity encompasses the way MOVE’s people differ in terms of their education, life
experience, job function, work experience, personality, location and career responsibilities. The key aspects being
sought at MOVE are diversity of thought and skills, as these attributes are most likely to assist MOVE in delivering
better outcomes for its stakeholders.
MOVE is committed to equal employment opportunities and treating all individuals fairly and with respect. The
Company recognises that everyone has individual differences which can be leveraged to create stronger teams
that will ultimately drive stronger business performance.
MOVE’s approach to diversity is outlined in the Diversity Policy, which is available on the Company’s website.
Key areas of focus are:
• Recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce;
• Supportive working environment;
• People development; and
• Recognition and reward based on merit.
As at 30 June 2023, females represent 27% (FY22: 19%) of Directors and Officers of the Company (an officer is a
person who is concerned or takes part in the management of the company business and reports directly to the
Board or CEO). Females represent 19% (FY22: 14%) of all employees of the Company.
FY23FY22
Female MaleFemaleMale
Directors 2415
Officers1416
All Employees 2219262471,067
The Board is satisfied with the initiatives being implemented by the Company and its performance with respect to
the Diversity Policy. The Board has not currently set measurable objectives under the Policy for achieving diversity,
as the Board considers diversity outcomes can be achieved without measurable objectives.
2.6 Director Training and Education
Directors are encouraged to undertake appropriate training and education to ensure they remain current on how
to best perform their duties. In addition, management provide regular updates on relevant industry and Company
issues, including briefings from senior executives.
All Directors have access to executives to discuss issues or obtain information on specific areas in relation to
matters to be discussed at Board meetings, or other areas as they consider appropriate. The Board Committees
and Directors, subject to the approval of the Board Chair, have the right to seek independent professional advice
at the Company’s expense, to enable them to carry out their responsibilities.
2.7 Board Performance and Review
The Board monitors its own performance and will, from time to time, commission an external review to assess
the performance of individual Directors and the Board’s effectiveness (including the effectiveness of Board
Committees). An external review was last conducted and presented to the Board in June 2022. This has assisted
the Board in identifying the skills and experience desired of new Directors and to plan longer term Board
succession in a manner that ensures the Board remains fresh but also provides MOVE with governance continuity.
2.8 Director Independence
In order for a Director to be independent, the Board has determined that he or she must not be an executive of
MOVE Group and must have no disqualifying relationships. Independence is determined by the Board, having
regard to the factors described in Recommendation 2.4 of the Code. The Board has determined that, aside from
Christopher Dunphy, all current directors are independent and have no disqualifying relationships. Christopher
Dunphy is not an independent Director as he is a substantial product holder in the Company and worked in an
executive role for MOVE during the past three years.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
100
Directors are required to notify MOVE of any interests they have that could impact an assessment of their
independence or their ability to act in the best interests of MOVE. MOVE has processes in place to manage any
conflicts of interest with Directors who are interested in a matter. Directors’ interests are disclosed on page 91 to 93
of the Annual Report.
2.9 Independent Chair
MOVE’s Chair is required to be an independent Director and is elected by the Directors. Lorraine Witten was
appointed as Chair from 30 September 2021 and is considered by the Board to be independent.
2.10 Separation of the role of Chair and CEO
The Board supports the separation of the roles of Chair and CEO. MOVE’s CEO is not a Director or Chair of the
company.
3. BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has delegated a number of its responsibilities to Committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s
responsibilities. The use of Committees allows issues requiring detailed consideration to be dealt with separately
by members of the Board with specialist knowledge and experience, thereby enhancing the efficiency and
effectiveness of the Board. However, the Board retains ultimate responsibility for the functions of its Committees
and determines their responsibilities.
The Committees meet as required and have terms of reference (Charters), which are approved and reviewed by
the Board.
Minutes of each Committee meeting are available to all members of the Board, who are all entitled to attend
any Committee meeting. Each Committee is empowered to seek any information it requires from employees in
pursuing its duties and to obtain independent legal or other professional advice.
The membership and performance of each Committee is reviewed annually.
The Board committees as at 30 June 2023 were as follows:

independent Directors. The Chair of the Committee, Grant Devonport, is not the Chair of the Board, is independent
and has significant accounting and financial expertise. Other members of the Committee all have significant
commercial and/or financial expertise.
The role and responsibilities of the Committee are detailed in the Risk Assurance and Audit Committee Charter
which is available on MOVE’s website.
3.2 Management attendance at Audit Committee meetings
Employee (including management) attendance at all Committee meetings is by invitation only.
3.3 and 3.4 Governance and Remuneration Committee
The purpose of the Governance and Remuneration Committee is to:
• identify and recommend individuals to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its
committees; and
• oversee and regulate compensation and organisation matters affecting MOVE, including:
- remuneration and benefits policies;
- performance and remuneration of MOVE’ Directors and senior executives;
- management development;
- succession planning for the Chief Executive Officer and direct reports to the Chief Executive Officer; and
- major organisational changes providing a more focused and streamlined process where Board
approval would otherwise be required.
All members of the Committee are independent Directors. Management may only attend meetings at the
invitation of the Committee.
The Governance and Remuneration Committee Charter is available on MOVE’s website.
3.5 Other Board Committees
Special purpose Committees may be formed to review and monitor specific projects with senior management.
There were no other Board Committees formed during FY23.
3.6 Takeover protocols
In the case of a takeover offer, MOVE would engage expert legal and financial advisors to provide advice on
procedure. An Independent Takeover Committee would be formed to oversee disclosure and response and
MOVE would disclose the scope of the required independent advisor reports to its shareholders. Formal Takeover
protocols have been developed and formally adopted by the Board in compliance with Recommendation 3.6 of
the Code.

4. REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
4.1 Disclosure Policy
MOVE is committed to keeping investors and the market informed of all material information about the Company
and its performance in a timely manner. In addition to all information required by law, the Company also seeks to
provide sufficient meaningful information to ensure stakeholders and investors are well informed. The Company’s
Market Disclosure Policy sets out the principles and requirements of this commitment to timely and balanced
disclosures. The policy is available on MOVE’s website.
4.2 Access to key governance policies
MOVE takes a continuous improvement approach to corporate governance. Governance policies are reviewed
and approved by the Board on a regular basis in line with best practice.
Key governance policies and charters can be viewed on the MOVE website at
www.movelogistics.com/investors/governance.
4.3 Financial Reporting
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial
position of the Company and have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, consistently applied
and supported by reasonable judgements, estimates; and for ensuring all relevant financial reporting and
accounting standards have been followed.
The Risk Assurance and Audit Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting,
including the accuracy, completeness, balance and timeliness of financial statements. It reviews MOVE’s full and
half year financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning accounting policies, areas
of judgement, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of
the external audit.
For the financial year ended 30 June 2023, the Directors believe that proper accounting records have been kept
which enable, with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial position of the Company and facilitate
compliance of the financial statements with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. All matters required to be
addressed, and for which the Committee has responsibility, were addressed during the reporting period.
Senior management has confirmed in writing that MOVE Group’s external financial reports present a true and fair
view in all material aspects.
4.4 Non-financial reporting
MOVE’s strategic pathways, set out earlier in this report, lay out the framework for a sustainable future for the
Company. MOVE is actively seeking to have a positive impact on its people, communities and the environment.
The Company believes this will have a beneficial impact on the business, thereby creating long term value for
shareholders.
MOVE periodically updates shareholders and the market on its strategy, non-financial objectives and its progress
against these objectives, in shareholder reports and newsletters and at other investor events during the year
including investor presentations and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
MOVE has initiatives supporting its focus on the environment, people and communities and a formal ESG
framework is being developed. MOVE will report against the mandatory climate-related disclosures regime from
FY24.
MOVE is committed to using its resources responsibly and will look for opportunities to reduce any negative
environmental risk or impact from business operations, products and services. MOVE is committed to providing fair
and responsible products and services. The Board encourages diversity, and is developing a Modern Slavery Policy.
MOVE will consider how it encourages its suppliers and contractors to stop business practices which facilitate
human rights and labour standard abuses.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
5. REMUNERATION
Remuneration of Directors and senior executives is the key responsibility of the Governance and Remuneration
Committee.
The Board promotes the alignment of the interests of the Directors, the CEO and management with the long-term
interests of shareholders. Remuneration policies and structures are reviewed regularly to ensure remuneration
of management and Directors is fair and reasonable in a competitive market for the skills, knowledge and
experience required by MOVE. External advice is also sought to ensure remuneration is benchmarked to the market
for senior management positions and Board positions.
Details of Director and executive remuneration and benefits in FY23 are provided on pages 89 to 90.
5.1 Directors’ Remuneration
While MOVE does not have a formal remuneration policy for directors, it follows the guidelines of the Code. MOVE
seeks to offer remuneration that attracts quality directors, with the right skills and experience and appropriately
compensates them for their input and time.
MOVE’s Governance and Remuneration Committee is responsible for overseeing and regulating compensation
matters, including remuneration of Directors. The Committee Charter is available on MOVE’s website.
Shareholders fix the total remuneration available for Directors. Approval is sought for any increase in the pool
available to pay Directors’ fees, and any recommendations to shareholders regarding Director remuneration are
provided for approval in a transparent manner. If independent advice is sought by the Board, it will be disclosed to
shareholders as part of the approval process.
The last increase in the total pool fee for Director remuneration was approved by shareholders in 2017 at $750,000.
The Board Charter provides that no retirement allowance is payable to a Director.
While there is no formal requirement to do so, the majority of Directors hold shares in the Company either
personally or through related interests. Directors’ share dealings and interests in the Company are detailed on
page 93 to 94.
Remuneration per annum for each Board role is as follows:
Chair$140,000
Non-executive Director$75,000
Chair of Risk Assurance and Audit Committee$10,000
Chair Governance and Remuneration Committee$10,000
5.2 Executive remuneration
MOVE’s executive remuneration policies and practices are designed to attract, retain and motivate high calibre
people and create a performance-focused culture. Executive remuneration comprises a fixed component. The
Board has reviewed executive remuneration with the assistance of external independent advice. The Company
has written agreements with the Chief Executive Officer and executive team members setting out the terms of
their employment.
Short-term incentives (STIs) are at-risk share payments designed to motivate and reward for performance, in that
financial year. Some MOVE executives have received STIs however these are being phased out. During FY24, MOVE
intends to implement a Company-wide cash profit sharing scheme that aligns incentives for the MOVE team
directly with Company’s financial performance.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
104
5.3 CEO Remuneration
The remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer comprises a fixed component commensurate with experience and
industry benchmarks, and participation in the profit sharing scheme intended to be finalised and implemented in
FY24.
Upon commencing the role of CEO in February 2023, Craig Evans was issued 1 million unlisted restricted share units
(RSUs) at a value of NZ$0.99 per RSU. However, Craig has subsequently surrendered these RSUs to ensure that his
incentives are aligned with the incentives offered to the wider MOVE team.
Details of CEO and Executive Director remuneration in FY23 are provided on page 90.
6. RISK MANAGEMENT
6.1 Risk Management Framework
MOVE has continued to strengthen its risk management capabilities under the direction of the Risk Assurance and
Audit Committee and the Executive Team. A dedicated internal role (Risk and Compliance Manager) supports risk
and compliance management at MOVE by developing and managing MOVE’s assurance, risk and compliance
frameworks.
The RAAC ensures MOVE has appropriate risk management policies in place and provides the Board with
assurance that key risks relevant to MOVE have been appropriately identified, managed and reported to the
Board. The RAAC regularly reports to the Board on the operation of MOVE’s risk management and internal control
processes. It is also responsible for overseeing and monitoring that MOVE’s management implements and
operates adequate risk assurance, internal controls and audit systems within MOVE. The Board as a whole is
responsible for monitoring corporate risk assessment processes and this is not delegated to a subcommittee.
The Board carries out a review of the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems
at least annually. MOVE’s risk management policy provides clarity on roles and responsibilities to minimise the
impact of financial, operational and sustainability risk on its business.
MOVE’s current governance and risk management structure is:
Foundational governance and risk documents are regularly reviewed and updated to ensure MOVE continues to
find the best ways of working to achieve its business goals while remaining within risk appetite and adhering to its
regulatory obligations.
MOVE’s risk management framework has been created to ensure there is clear ownership and delegation of
responsibility for the management and oversight of risks and to support the appropriate flow of information
throughout the Group.

MOVE assesses its risks by understanding the likelihood of occurrence and the potential consequences using the
following categories:
Current key risks are:
• Economy - Heightened economic or market uncertainty could impair long-term planning affecting revenue
optimisation and growth.
• Financial risk - The risk that MOVE will not be able to meet its debt repayment obligations when they fall due.
• Climate change and sustainability - Physical climate impacts and related policy and/or market changes
may disrupt our operations or impact demand for our services.
• Execution of strategy - Poor reputation; loss of revenue; loss of large customers; loss of business, loss-
making contracts.
• Cyber-security - A cyber-attack could result in lost integrity or access to information, loss of control systems
or a significant data privacy breach.
• Health & Safety - Events that could adversely affect employee health and wellbeing.
6.2 Health and safety
Staying safe, keeping others safe, and being responsible are fundamental to what MOVE is as an organisation.
Operating the business in this way helps deliver on MOVE’s vision of “No Harm to People, the Environment or Assets”.
Paying close attention to safety, wellbeing, sustainability, ethics and integrity go hand in hand with that vision.
The Board is committed to ensuring a high quality, safe and healthy environment for all of MOVE’s people, visitors,
partners and those in the community.
People safety is a key priority, one of MOVE’s core values and an essential component across the business. MOVE is
committed to developing, improving and reinforcing its safety culture, including by improving leadership capacity,
simplifying tools and systems and requiring ‘near-miss’ reporting.
Safety performance is tracked to identify patterns to help prevent incidents. “Health, Safety and Sustainability”
results and reported data from each Business Unit and at a Group level, are reviewed at each National Health &
Safety Committee Meeting. The Committee is an executive group that meets monthly for the purposes of health
and safety management across the Group. In addition, the Board receives monthly reports on the health and
safety performance across the Group, including performance against plan, near miss reporting, progress with
safety related initiatives and reviewing lead and lag indicators of performance.
In recent years, further steps were taken to operationalise the safety and sustainability teams with a revised focus
and functional framework, using improved measurement and analytics tools, “in cab” and other technologies that
move reporting beyond traditional safety metrics, bringing factors like weather and vehicle data into the picture,
to identify leading indicators of injuries and illness and factoring learnings into revised safety practices in all parts
of the business.
In addition, an independent external review of the Company’s health and safety management system was
undertaken and the Company was admitted into the Accident Compensation Corporation’s Accredited
Employer Program. As a company with over 900 vehicles in the fleet, road safety is a critical risk factor. MOVE
has a dedicated team of driver trainers to educate and support drivers, alongside the increased use of in cab
technologies. An increasing mitigation focus is on the risks generally in MOVE’s warehouses, freight depots and
cross docks.
The Company’s injury frequency rates provide a lag indicator of performance with LTIFR rates reducing for the third
year in a row and a strong improvement in TRIFR.

7. AUDITORS
7.1 External audit
For the year ended 30 June 2023, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was the external auditor of MOVE Group Limited.
PwC was first appointed as auditor in 2017. The most recent Audit Partner rotation occurred in 2021, with the next
rotation due no later than 2026.
The RAAC monitors the relationship and communications with the external auditors, and monitors ongoing
independence, quality and performance. The RAAC also monitors audit partner rotation.
The RAAC pre-approves any non-audit work undertaken by PwC. The non-audit services in the year ended 30 June
2023 are set out on page 97. Those services were provided in accordance with the company’s External Auditor
Independence Policy and were assessed by the RAAC as not affecting PwC’s independence. The fees paid for
audit and non-audit services in FY23 is identified on page 97 of the Annual Report.
PwC has provided the MOVE Board with written confirmation that, in their view, they were able to operate
independently during the year.
7.2 Attendance at Annual Meeting
The external auditors attend the Annual Shareholders Meeting and are available to answer questions from
shareholders relevant to the audit.
7.3 Internal Audit
MOVE has an Internal Audit Framework and Annual Plan which is overseen by the RAAC. MOVE continues to
outsource the majority of its internal audit work while it assesses the long-term requirements for an internal audit
in-house function.
The internal audit function for MOVE’s business needs a broad range of skills to be effective and comprehensive.
There is also a requirement for expertise in a growing range of specialist skills such as IT audit; data mining;
data analytics and in-depth knowledge of different regulatory regimes. Outsourcing the Internal Audit function
means having access to specialist expertise, innovations in the latest audit techniques and technology and the
opportunity for benchmarking.
The reports from the Internal Audits are presented to the RAAC who then monitors performance against the audit
recommendations.
During FY24, MOVE will continue to develop and further refine the options in the Internal Audit function to meet the
future needs of the business.
8. SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
8.1 Investor website
Easy access to financial, operational and governance information is available through the Investor Centre on
company’s website at www.movelogistics.com/investors/governance.
8.2 Engagement with shareholders
The Board is committed to open and regular dialogue and engagement with shareholders. MOVE has developed
an investor relations programme which includes regular dialogue with investors, analysts and investor meetings,
and earnings announcements. The programme is designed to provide shareholders and other market
participants the opportunity to obtain information, express views and ask questions.
Shareholders are actively encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting and may raise matters for discussion at this
event. Shareholders are also able to vote by proxy ahead of meetings without having to physically attend those
meetings. In 2022, MOVE held a hybrid meeting to allow shareholders to participate in person or online.
Shareholders are encouraged to communicate with the Company and its share registry electronically.
Approximately 67% of MOVE’s shareholders have opted in for email communications.
In addition to shareholders, MOVE has a wide range of stakeholders and maintains open channels of
communication for all audiences in New Zealand and Australia, including brokers, the investing community and
the New Zealand Shareholders’ Association, as well as its employees, suppliers and customers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023
8.3 Voting on major decisions
In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules, MOVE refers major decisions which may change the nature of MOVE’s
business to shareholders for approval. All voting by shareholders is undertaken by poll, upholding the ‘one share,
one vote’ requirement of the NZX Listing Rules.
8.4 Equity offers
MOVE did not undertake any capital raising during FY23. Should MOVE consider raising additional capital, MOVE will
structure the offer having regard to likely levels of shareholder participation and optimising and enhancing the
ability to maximise the level of capital raised. Subject to these factors the Board will look to give all shareholders a
proportionate opportunity to participate in any capital raising.
8.5 Notice of meeting
MOVE aims to provide at least 20 working days of the notice of the Annual Shareholders Meeting, which is posted
on MOVE’s website, announced to the NZX and ASX markets and sent to shareholders prior to the meeting each
year. This goal was achieved in 2022.
