2023 Update
1.CEO Overview
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The economic environment over the past year has been difficult.
For the first half advertising revenue was down 7% year on year.
The second half has seen improvement in business confidence, but this is not yet consistently reflected in advertising
revenue results:
•Quarter 3 advertising revenue was down 2% year on year.
•Quarter 4 started with October advertising revenue growth of 1% year on year.
•November (the largest revenue month of the year) and December are currently pacing slower, with customer
campaigns being cancelled or deferred until 2024.
Given the current advertising revenue volatility in the market, NZME amends its guidance for EBITDA to be between
$57 million and $59 million for 2023.
OneRoofUPDATE
OneRoofis delivering strong results:
•The real estate market is improving.
•Quarter 3 saw OneRoofdigital revenues increase by 16% year on year despite listings being subdued.
•Quarter 4 has started well with October delivering year on year growth of 23%.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Board wishes to reiterate it remains open to returning any excess capital to shareholders when the right business
and market conditions exist, and it continues to be their intention to review the company’s capital management
options together with the full year 2023 results in February 2024.

1.CEO Overview
Digital led strategy focused on delivering superior returns
Our central objective is to relentlessly pursue a digital led strategy across our three key platforms. This will set us
apart from our competitors and drive returns for shareholders. Globally these digital centric businesses are valued at
much higher multiples than print peers.
We are getting real traction on our leading podcast position in NZand this will drive future digital revenue growth.
Our strong position in news, politics and business continues to grow strongly and is improving our audio profitability.
We have entertainment brands that can grow share.
We are currently investing heavily in our digital publishing platform and a new ‘business of journalism’ operating
model. We believe this will provide us with a very different and superior capability relative to our competitors. We
have a profitable digital news business that supports journalism for the future generations.
The business is at a tipping point. It is now profitable. With continued focus, we remain confident that it will scale to
be in a strong number two position within a sector that has a very large profit pool.
Competitive Environment:
We are fortunate, relative to our competitors, that
our strong performance, profitability and balance
sheet allows us to invest in business. This is
delivering gains in our key metrics.
Economic Environment:
It’s hard to predict; however, there are encouraging
signs that we are at or just past the bottom of the
cycle.

•Focus on the cost base has continued and remains

•Investment in OneRoofgrowth and BusinessDesk
addition is partly offset by sale of GrabOne
•Wage and salary inflation has continued to have a
significant impact on the cost base
•Print volumes have reduced significantly resulting in
lower print and distribution costs, albeit higher paper
prices and distribution cost increases have partially
offset the volume related reduction
There has been a continued focus on containing cost base

cannibalisationof individuals by removing ‘unlimited user’ plans
and reducing bulk user discounts
•Individuals: monthly and annual prices increased, drive
acquisition and retention with annual Wall Street Journal
bundle / monthly bundle with Herald Premium
•Corporate: lift yield year on year from corporates as user
activation and engagement grows
As the digital subscription base has grown and the mix has
changed, balancing volume and yield has become
increasingly important for profitability

5.OneRoofYour essential property platform Grow listings revenue
ANZ property Focus -October 2023
“The Government’s policy changes are likely to put upward pressure on house prices”.
Kiwibank–First View –16 October 2023
“The housing market stabilised much sooner than expected, partly because of the surge in migration. Over the year to
August 2023, we welcomed over 152,000 migrants (a record high) but waved goodbye to over 42,000 kiwis (the most since
2012). The net gain of 110,200 is the largest on record. So far, strong net migration is helping to boost within the economy.
The impact on housing and domestic spending has been relatively limited. But we still face a shortage of dwellings, at a time
of a fast-growing population. Price gains are likely to continue”.
