Annual Shareholders’ Meeting documents and trading update


Auckland, 27 October 2023: Fletcher Building is holding its 2023 Annual Shareholders’

Meeting today at 10.30am NZDT. Attached are the:


- Chair’s address

- Chief Executive Officer’s address

- ASM presentation


Included in the Chief Executive Officer’s address is an update on trading for the FY24 year.


In his address to shareholders, CEO Ross Taylor said: “For our New Zealand materials and

distribution businesses, the infrastructure and commercial sectors remain robust, while volumes

in the residential sector are around 5% softer than our prior guidance. Our market shares are

stable and we are seeing solid pricing in our materials businesses, however there is strong price

competition in the merchant distribution channel. As such, EBIT (before significant items) for the

New Zealand materials and distribution businesses is tracking slightly behind our previous

expectations.


“In Australia, the Division is trading well. We expect 1H24 EBIT (before significant items) to be

broadly in line with 1H23, despite a softer market.


“Encouragingly we are seeing “green shoots” in the New Zealand housing market. House sales

for our Residential and Development Division are tracking well, averaging 20-25 per week so far

this year. House prices have stabilised and are starting to trend up slightly. If this momentum in

sales continues, there could be upside to our prior 700-800 unit sales target in FY24. We continue

to expect earnings to be weighted to the second half due to the profile of settlements.


“On our Construction legacy projects, we are on track to finish physical works on the final three

projects through the 2024 calendar year. As we noted in August 2023, there continues to be

some cost risk to manage as we complete these projects. We also need to secure claims and

insurance recoveries, and manage any wash up issues that may arise, to hold our current

provisions. Resolution of the claims and recoveries, particularly on the NZICC and Puhoi to

Warkworth projects, is likely to take until FY25-FY26. On Wellington Airport carparks, we are

working with the Airport to determine an agreed remediation, but any costs we decide to take

in that regard are not covered by present provisions.


“We expect trading cash flows (excluding legacy construction) to be robust in FY24. As

previously guided, our leverage (net debt / EBITDA) is expected to move to the upper end of our

1x-2x range, however we are committed to remaining within this target range.”



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

“On the Western Australian plumbing issues, we continue to use the A$15 million interim fund

(put in place earlier in FY23) to support the industry and homeowners while causation of the

plumbing failures is better understood. And we will work with the industry and regulators to help

develop an effective solution.


“We are well positioned to perform through the cycle and then drive both further performance

improvements and upside volumes when the cycle turns. We are very advanced on our $800

million of committed growth projects, which we are confident will be delivered well, and will set

us up for significant extra earnings in the next two to three years. There remain plenty of other

growth opportunities, which we can take advantage of, once we have a firmer sense of when the

cycle is returning to growth.


“Reflecting on the past year, I’m pleased with the way our people have continued to show their

resilience, innovative spirit and commitment to supporting our customers and each other. I also

wish to acknowledge and thank our shareholders, customers, and suppliers for their continued

support.”

FLETCHER BUILDING LIMITED 2023

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

Chair’s Address


FY23 key financial results


On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to report that in FY23 Fletcher Building delivered strong

underlying earnings of $798 million, and a strong EBIT margin (excluding significant items) of

9.4%.


This performance was well ahead of the prior year, and was achieved despite a slowing

residential market and disruption from severe weather events. We believe that it reflects the

significant operational improvements made in the business in recent years.


I acknowledge it was disappointing that we needed to book additional fire-related provisions on

the NZ International Convention Centre in the year. These were the main reason for the drop in

our Net Earnings After Tax, to $235 million for the year. I will speak further to the legacy

construction projects, as well as the Western Australian plumbing matter, later in my address.


On dividend, the Board paid total dividends of 34 cents per share for the financial year. This

reflects a solid FY23 earnings result, while also having regard to the expected cash flow impact

of the legacy construction projects through FY24.


FY23 key non-financial results


The Board remains committed to driving strong outcomes across a range of ESG measures and

continuing to drive a performance culture. As with our financial performance, we also made

progress on our key non-financial measures and outcomes during the year.


We continued to make our workplace safer. Protect, our multi-year safety programme, produced

further improvements with a TRIFR of 3.1, representing a 12% reduction on last year. This

translated to 90% - or 903 of our sites - being injury free.


On sustainability, we continued to make very good progress on reducing our carbon emissions,

which are now down 16% from our 2018 base levels.


Service performance to our customers also improved through the year, and our Net Promoter

Score increased to an average of 40. This reflects ongoing improvements in on-time deliveries,

stock availability, and online offerings.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

Importantly, we also saw our overall employee engagement increase to an employee net

promoter score of 26. While the improvement was pleasing, this result only places us in the

median for global organisations, so we do have more work to do if we are going to achieve global

“best in class” levels of 40 and above.


Western Australia Plumbing


Turning to the Western Australia plumbing matter, I would like first to acknowledge the impact

and distress on homeowners from the plumbing failures that are occurring.


I wish to assure our shareholders and all our stakeholders that the Board is taking this matter

very seriously. We have a dedicated Board committee in place, which provides strong oversight

on the developing matters.


The Company’s approach has had three aspects:


• First, we have put in place an interim A$15 million fund to support builders and plumbers to

repair leaks and any associated damage for homeowners while causation of the plumbing

failures is better understood.


• We have undertaken detailed product testing with global experts, and gathered evidence

on installation practices from hundreds of homes. To date, we have not found fault with our

product, but we have kept, and will keep, an open mind.


• For its part, Fletcher Building is committed to help find an industry solution. A proportionate

and evidence-based solution is in everyone’s interests, especially those homeowners who

have been affected.


Ross will build on this further in his address.


Where did we start from in 2018?

At this point, I would like to reflect on how the Company has evolved over the past six years or so

since the current Board was appointed.


In 2018, our underlying businesses in New Zealand had strong market positions, but they had

been underinvested and margins were on the decline. A key reason for this was our international

business, which was capital-hungry, spread across about 30 countries, and so stretched both

our balance sheet and Board and management attention.


Our businesses in Australia were contributing a good proportion of revenue, but close to nil

margins. They were reporting into three separate operating divisions, which served to mask their

underperformance across many operational dimensions.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

Meanwhile, Construction had assembled an order book that was overweight in higher risk, lower

margin projects which took up a disproportionate amount of Board and management time as

issues arose.


Of further concern was that our non-financial metrics were below par. While we had a safety

programme in place, an embedded safety culture did not exist. We had no carbon reduction

plans and we were not putting the right focus on our customers or our people.


What has the Board’s approach been?


In response to this situation, we took decisive action to firstly stabilise the Company:

• We appointed a new CEO, capable of handling the enormous task ahead.


• We completed a full Board refresh and implemented more rigorous governance protocols.


• We oversaw a capital raise, and moved to divest the International business with the

implementation of a new strategy focused on New Zealand and Australia.


In combination, the business was refocused and the balance sheet strengthened.


We successfully achieved much of this through 2018-2019 but we knew we had much more to

do beyond that. This included dealing with the legacy issues and repositioning the go forward

business, which I will speak on the following slides.


Clean up legacy issues – Construction projects


The legacy construction projects have been a major undertaking. We started with around 80

legacy projects. These had been brought into the Group when it had a different tolerance for risk

in winning construction work prior to 2017. There are now three projects left to complete, which

Ross will provide detail on.


The Board and management share the frustration of our shareholders that these legacy projects

have taken longer, and have cost more to complete, than planned. Ongoing COVID lockdowns

and the fire at NZICC added complexity to the tail legacy projects and have made it harder.


We accept that there are remaining risks to manage on these projects. These matters are a

major focus for the Board, with regular review of management progress in place.


At the same time, we have also had to focus on building a better construction business for the

future, rather than clearing up the past. We made the decision to exit the vertical Building sector.

Our teams have made excellent progress on lifting the skills, operating disciplines, and

governance across all the construction businesses. The best evidence of the success of this is

a rebuilt forward order book, with the right risk profile and margins.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

Reposition the go forward business for performance and growth


The final part of the Board’s strategy over the past five to six years was to reposition the go-

forward business to deliver improved performance and growth.


Combined with the issues in Construction, we had a challenged Australia business which was

dragging down our overall margin. We had a set of NZ assets with good market positions but

needing both investment and improved operating disciplines.


This slide shows the Group’s EBIT (excluding significant items) and margin performance over

time.


As we have taken the necessary actions, the operational gains we have made over the past six

years have been in a few key areas: cost efficiency, getting sharper on the products and

segments where we participate, and ensuring our pricing is both well-controlled and linked to

the value we deliver.


In addition, we have been focused on investing for the future. We are close to completing the

new $400 million Wallboards plant. This future proofs one of our most valuable assets. And we

have a mature programme of mainly organic growth projects underway.


Our strategic focus on the New Zealand and Australian geographies has enabled us to both

uncover and execute on these opportunities. Ross will touch on them more in a moment.


Reposition the go forward business for performance and growth


Our approach to non-financial performance has been, in many ways, similar to the financials. In

the areas of safety, sustainability, customer and engagement our approach has been to

understand what best-in-class performance looks like, and the operating disciplines needed to

achieve it. We then hold ourselves to account against these standards.


Pleasingly, progress on these over the past five years has been positive, in particular on safety

and sustainability. But we recognise that we now need to get more consistent and move closer

to “best in class” across our customer experience, and the capability and engagement of our

people.


Where are we now?


To summarise, the past six years have seen a significant turnaround of Fletcher Building.


The Company has been stabilised and we have pursued a consistent strategy focused on our

home markets in New Zealand and Australia.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

We have completed almost 80 legacy construction projects, and will be through the final three

by the end of next year. This does not take away from the Board’s disappointment at the

additional fire-related provisions on the Convention Centre booked in FY23.


Equally, we are cognisant of the risks that still exist as we complete the final legacy projects, and

we are highly focused on managing these, and on the resolving the Western Australia plumbing

issues, in a satisfactory way.


Overall, though, over the past six years the financial and non-financial metrics of Fletcher Building

have improved significantly. We believe the go-forward business is well-positioned for

performance and growth over the medium-term.


I would like to take the opportunity to thank our management team and all of our 15,000 people

for their considerable efforts over this period, and particularly over the past year. The Board is

very proud of the work that you have done, and continue to do, to improve Fletcher Building and

position it well for the long-term.


We also thank our shareholders for your continued support.

Friday 27 October 2023


FLETCHER BUILDING LIMITED 2023

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

Chief Executive Officer’s Address


FY23 - continuing operational improvements across the base business


The Fletcher Building base businesses are performing well. We are nicely positioned to navigate

the softer markets over the next year or so, and then to grow again from there.


As Bruce has covered the recent results in some detail, I will just make a few points on the 2023

financial year. Our overall EBIT margin (excluding significant items) increased to 9.4%, and

pleasingly the Australian division delivered 6% margins. Our progress in achieving a world class

safety culture and performance levels continues, and it is nice to see this being reflected in lower

injury rates across all our businesses.


We remain confident there is more financial performance upside in the medium term, but this

will be driven by getting our people fully engaged, genuinely passionate about what we do, and

really focused on our customers.


Against this backdrop it was pleasing to see improvements across both our customer and people

metrics through the year. A particular “call out” was the engagement score of our top 300 leaders

- this now sits at an industry leading eNPS score of 50. This sets us up well to achieve the further

overall performance improvements we are looking for into the future.


We are investing for growth


We continue to take a longer-term view and are actively investing in a significant number of

growth opportunities. As we have flagged previously, we have now committed around $800

million of capital to these opportunities.


We show on the slide a few examples of the investments we are making in New Zealand. These

are across the timber, insulation, automation in frame & truss and in the broader circular

economy.


We expect these investments to hit their full earnings run rate in the 2027 financial year, and to

deliver over $120 million per annum of extra profits to the bottom line from then on.





Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand

Outlook on Construction legacy


Pleasingly, we are on track to finish physical works on the final three construction legacy projects

through the 2024 calendar year.


The Puhoi to Warkworth motorway was opened in June this year. The final works will be

completed in the second quarter of 2024, and then it will be a matter of working through the major

claims on the project with Waka Kotahi.


We have now completed and handed over all the carpark levels on the Convention Centre. We

expect the hotel to be complete in December, and the balance of the project by the end of 2024.


As we noted in August 2023, there continues to be some cost risk to manage as we complete

these projects. We also need to secure claims and insurance recoveries, and manage any wash

up issues that may arise, to hold our current provisions. Resolution of the claims and recoveries,

particularly on the NZICC and Puhoi to Warkworth projects, is likely to take until FY25-FY26. On

Wellington Airport carparks, we are working with the Airport to determine an agreed

remediation, but any costs we decide to take in that regard are not covered by present

provisions.


Outlook on Western Australia plumbing issues


There are no material updates on the detailed presentation I gave on the Western Australian

plumbing issues two weeks ago. For those of you that did not see this and are interested in it,

the full presentation and webcast are available on the Fletcher Building website in the online

investor centre.

As Bruce outlined, we continue to use the A$15 million interim fund put in place earlier this year

to allow us to support the industry and homeowners while causation of the plumbing failures is

better understood. We also continue to work with the industry and regulators to develop an

effective solution.

Our evidence, which is a combination of extensive testing of the pipes and a comprehensive

review of leaks occurring in the home, points to installation as the failure.

Repair scenarios built on this evidence suggest an overall industry cost to repair these leaks of

between A$50 million to A$100 million.

At this stage we have not made any provisions to contribute to this repair bill.


FY24 trading update


Starting with our New Zealand Materials and Distribution businesses, I will now talk to the trading

conditions we are seeing so far this financial year.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand


The Infrastructure and Non-Residential sectors remain robust, but the Residential sector volumes

are around 5% softer than our prior guidance. This puts them down around 25% from the peak

we saw in late 2021. Our market shares are stable, and we are seeing solid pricing in our

materials businesses, but strong price competition in the merchant distribution channel. As such,

our profits for these businesses are tracking slightly behind our previous expectations.


In Australia, the division is trading well. We expect profits in the first half of this year to be broadly

in line with last year, despite a softer market.


Encouragingly, we are seeing “green shoots” in the residential house sale market in our

Residential and Development division. So far this year, house sales are tracking well (averaging

20-25 per week), and house prices have stabilised and are now starting to trend up slightly. If

this momentum in sales continues, there could be upside to our prior 700-800 unit sales target

for the financial year. We continue to expect profit margins to be slightly below 15% through the

year, and profits to be weighted to the second half due to the profile of settlements. This market

trend is a positive for our NZ Materials and Distributions businesses, as increased activity across

the residential end market will ultimately flow into the volumes across these businesses.


In Construction the work outlook in the market remains very solid, and our order book remains

strong. But a slower start to key projects will see our profits weighted to the second half of this

financial year.


FY24 underlying trading cash flows robust & balance sheet well positioned


The outlook for our trading cashflows continues to look robust, and our balance sheet remains

well positioned.


As previously guided, we expect leverage to move to the upper end of our 1 to 2 times range,

which still has material head room to our banking covenants. We have $2.8 billion of debt

facilities in place, and this ensures we will maintain healthy levels of liquidity through this year

and beyond. And we now have a Moody's credit rating in place at Baa2 (stable).


Fletcher Building is well positioned for the medium term


All these things leave us well positioned for the future:

• We are getting close to having the legacy construction projects in our rear-view mirror;

• We are well positioned to perform through the cycle, and then drive both further

performance improvements and upside volumes when the cycle turns;

• We are very advanced on our $800 million of committed growth projects, which we are

confident will be delivered well and set us up for significant extra earnings in the next 2

to 3 years; and

• There remain plenty of other growth opportunities, which we can take advantage of once

we have a firmer sense of when the cycle is returning to growth.



Fletcher Building Limited, Private Bag 92114, Auckland 1142, 810 Great South Road, Penrose, Auckland 1061, New Zealand


We have clear aspirations for our performance on non-financial measures


Our improvement aspirations extend beyond just the economics of the business, we also have

ambitious targets across our non-financial outcomes.


As we look forward:

• We are earnestly working towards being injury free as an organization;

• We want to continue to lead our sector in sustainability - by decarbonising ahead of the

competition, having the most sustainable products, and being heavily involved in the

circular economy;

• We want to provide products and services to our customers that are at global best in

class levels; and

• We want to have a diverse, talented and highly engaged workforce that just love being a

part of Fletcher Building.


We are well advanced across all of the key areas that will make Fletcher Building a great

company, and will provide exciting outcomes for Fletcher Building’s people, customers and

shareholders.

Outlook on Construction legacy
▪Opened in June 2023, some final works to be

completed in FY24

▪Project has lodged a number of claims

(>$200m, of which FB share is 50%). Successful

resolution of these claims needed to hold

current project provision –cash receipts

assumed to flow in FY25

International Convention Centre (NZICC)

Pūhoito Warkworthmotorway (P2W)

Wellington International Airport

▪Carparks complete, hotel & ICC steel remediation

complete by Dec 2023, overall project complete

in late 2024

▪Cost risk remains until project completion

▪Securing insurance recoveries likely to require

court based legal proceedings through FY25-26.

May present net revenue upside, however timing

disconnected from cost recognition

▪Risk of “wash up” claims from SkyCity

▪Working with Airport to agree a

remediation solution to quality issues

and settlement of counter claims

Outlook on WA plumbing issues
Our approach remains:

➔Our evidence points to installation failures as the reason leaks are occurring

➔Our testing on the product is well advanced. Our tests to date continue to show that our Pro-fit product is not defective

➔Looking to work with WA regulators and industry to develop an industry solution which is proportionate to the problem and

evidence based

➔Good working relationship with all WA builders/plumbers except BGC who have chosen not to work with Iplex or industry

➔Scenarios built on our evidence to date suggest industry cost to repair affected Perth houses could be c.A$50m -$100m over

several years

FY24 underlying trading cash flows robust & balance sheet well positioned
▪Expect robust trading cash flows in FY24(excl. legacy) as working capital managed tightly

▪Leverage (net debt / EBITDA) to move to upper end of 1x-2x rangedue to FCC legacy cash flows and growth capex investments

▪Committed to remaining within our 1x-2x target leverage range; provides significant headroom under banking agreements

▪Moody’s credit rating in place at Baa2 (stable),good alignment with FB capital structure settings

▪Strong debt facilities of $2.8bn in place, expect to retain healthy liquidity despite higher debt levels in FY24

▪Credit rating supports issuance into local bond markets when conditions are supportive
