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.

19

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.

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.

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

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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.

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.

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

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid

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.

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:

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

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.

We assessed the reliability of management's

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.

The D

irectors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements

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:

https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/

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

undertaken so that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s

report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume

responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our

audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

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:

reporting, internal control and risk management issues. There are a minimum of three members, who are all

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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2023

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.
