Skellerup announced today unaudited net profit after tax of $21.6 million for the six months ended

Key points for the six months ending 31 December 2023

• Revenue of $157.5 million, down 5% on prior comparative period (pcp)

• Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $31.6 million, down 6% on pcp

o Industrial Division EBIT of $22.9 million, a record result up 7% on pcp

o Agri Division EBIT of $11.9 million, down 19% on pcp

o Corporate costs of $3.1 million, up $0.6 million on pcp

• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $21.6 million, down 6% on pcp

• Operating cash flow of $36.5 million, a record result up 81% on pcp

• Net debt of $26.4 million, down $12.6 million on the prior half year

• Interim dividend of 8.5 cents per share (an increase of 0.5 cps), up 6% on pcp

• FY24 NPAT expected to be similar to the prior year record result.

• David Mair stepping down as CEO on 31 March 2024 (whilst remaining on the Board). Graham

Leaming appointed as CEO.

David Mair commented. “The first half of FY24 produced mixed results. Our Industrial Division

achieved another record half year result and the fifth consecutive increase in half year earnings. Our

Agri Division suffered from an unexpectedly prolonged destocking programme in international

markets. Despite the contrasting outcomes, the focus for both Divisions is the same. Our strategy

and priority are to work closely with customers, not only to meet their current needs for existing

products but also to understand future needs, to ensure our development efforts are customer led.

We also continue to standardise and improve processes”.

Industrial Division

Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a record EBIT of $22.9 million, up 7% on pcp. “Growth from

increased sales into water (potable and waste), hygiene and mining applications were partially offset

by lower sales into leisure and roofing applications. Potable and wastewater products for OEM

customers is core business for Skellerup, and we continue to win business with existing and new

customers. We achieved expected strong growth in the hygiene market supporting a major

customer’s new product launch. Sales for marine foam in international markets were down as

expected with customers adjusting inventories reflecting a softer market and our improved lead

times. Weaker construction activity in Australia reduced demand for our roofing products, although

this was partially offset by growth in North America. Overall margins were up reflecting

improvements on existing products and higher margin new products.”

Agri Division

Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $11.9 million, was down 19% on pcp. Mair noted, “Dairy sales were

softer than we anticipated as international customers reduced purchases to lower inventory. With





many of these customers having calendar fiscal years this activity continued right through the first

half. Pleasingly, we have experienced a larger than normal uplift following Christmas, and forward

orders continue to be strong. We have continued to improve our processes and invest in new and

improved equipment to improve productivity and reduce waste. Because of these improvements,

investments, and the lower demand, we incurred restructuring costs of NZD 0.6 million in the first

half. Footwear sales were solid, despite drier weather in NZ than we experienced in the pcp.”

Cash

A continued focus on gradually reducing inventory closer to levels needed and good management of

receivables helped generate a significant increase in operating cash flow to $36.5 million up 81% on

pcp. Consequently, net debt remains low at $26.4 million well below pcp and slightly below the June

2023 year end position. Mair said “In the prior period, we were still building inventory to mitigate

raw material shortages and elongated shipping timeframes. Over the past 12 months we have been

gradually reducing levels whilst managing the impact of abrupt changes on our manufacturing

partners.”

Outlook

Skellerup updated expectations for FY24. Mair said “Our business remains robust, and we expect

some of the first half headwinds of customers reducing inventory used in dairy and leisure

applications will abate. The global environment including the impact this is having on ocean transit

times continues to make forecasting future results difficult. However, based on our YTD results and

our expectations of trading conditions and customer demand for the rest of the year, we expect

FY24 NPAT to be similar to the prior year record result. Our strategy of working closely with

customers to provide engineered products that assure performance remains our focus to deliver

sustainable earnings growth.

Dividend

Chair John Strowger said the first half result, and expectations for the full year, allowed the Board to

declare a 6% increase in the interim dividend to 8.5 cents per share, imputed 50% (the same level as

in the pcp). The dividend will be paid on 14 March 2024 to shareholders of record at 5pm on 01

March 2024.

“At the ASM in October 2023, I commented that at Skellerup we are in for the long haul noting we

have a history of quiet achievement, represented by incremental (and sustainable) rather than flashy

growth. The interim dividend reflects the Board’s confidence that Skellerup will continue to perform

in this manner.”

Leadership

David Mair will step down as CEO on 31 March 2024. Mair joined the Skellerup Board in November

2006, was appointed as acting CEO in July 2010 before taking on the CEO role on a permanent basis

in July 2011. Mair will continue to serve as a director of Skellerup and along with Paul Shearer will

lead a special project initiative with management to progress our in-market capabilities.

Graham Leaming has been appointed as CEO to replace Mair. Leaming joined Skellerup as CFO in

December 2012. Tim Runnalls (who joined Skellerup as Group Financial Controller in March 2021)

has been appointed as CFO, to fill the vacancy arising from Leaming’s appointment.

Reflecting on the change, Strowger noted “David has been an outstanding CEO. Over the almost 14-

year period he has been in the role, Skellerup’s annual earnings have grown by more than 400%.





Shareholders have been well rewarded by David’s expertise, leadership and relentless drive for

growth and improvement. Customer focussed development, continuous operational improvement

and careful allocation of financial and human capital are key elements David has instilled into

Skellerup. His success has rightly been recognised over recent years, and whilst I have previously

remarked that our growth and performance are through the contribution of many, they have been

expertly enabled and led by David. With David continuing as a director, Skellerup, and therefore

shareholders, will continue to benefit from his skills and knowledge.

We are very pleased to have Graham step up to CEO. Graham joined Skellerup as CFO in December

2012, and is a proven performer, leading a broad range of commercial functions delivering great

value for Skellerup over the past 11 years. Together David and Graham have been a formidable

team. We are very confident that Graham will be a strong and successful leader for Skellerup backed

by a strong team with a passion and capability to continue to deliver great products for customers

and sustainable earnings growth for shareholders.”

The first half for Skellerup

comprised a mixed array of

results. A fifth successive record

Industrial Division result was

more than offset by a lower-than-

expected contribution from the

Agri Division as international dairy

customers significantly reduced

inventory levels.

Overall, the six months ended 31 December

2023 produced an unaudited net profit after

tax of $21.6 million, a decrease of 6% on the

prior comparative period (pcp).

Despite the contrasting outcomes, the

focus for both Divisions is the same.

Skellerup’s essence is combining deep

material expertise, strong product and tool

capability, and proven manufacturing process

knowledge and experience. Being able to

deliver essential products that often integrate

multiple materials to demanding and ever-

changing regulatory standards is Skellerup’s

competitive advantage.

Our strategy and priority is to work closely

with customers, not only to meet their

current needs for existing products but also

to understand future needs and to ensure

our development efforts are customer-led.

We also continue to standardise and improve

processes – this is not only an activity that

happens in our various manufacturing

facilities, rather right across our business.

Improvement never stops, we have plenty

of opportunities to prioritise and invest in to

improve our products, service and margins.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT FY24CHAIR AND CEO’S REVIEW4
Industrial Division

Skellerup’s Industrial Division achieved a

record EBIT of $22.9 million, up 7% on pcp.

Increased sales into water (potable and

waste), hygiene and mining applications

were partially offset by lower sales into

leisure and roofing applications. Potable

and wastewater products for OEM

customers is core business for Skellerup,

and we continue to look for and win

business with existing and new customers.

Hygiene and health applications are a

target for fast growth. The strong first half

growth was underpinned by supporting

a major customer’s new product launch.

Sales for marine foam in international

markets were down with customers

adjusting inventories ref lecting a softer

market and our improved lead times.

Weaker construction activity in Australia

reduced demand for our roofing products,

although this was partially offset by growth

in North America. Overall Industrial

margins were up ref lecting a combination

of improvements on existing products and

higher margin new products.

Agri Division

Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $11.9

million, was down 19% on pcp. Dairy

rubberware sales were lower than we

anticipated as international customers

reduced purchases to lower their inventory.

This destocking activity continued right

through our first half as many of these

customers have calendar fiscal years.

Pleasingly, we have experienced a larger

than normal uplift following Christmas,

and forward orders continue to be strong.

We have continued to improve our

processes and invest in new and improved

equipment to improve productivity

and reduce waste. Because of these

improvements, investments and the lower

demand, we incurred restructuring costs

of NZD 0.6 million in the first half. Footwear

sales were solid, despite drier weather in

NZ than we experienced in the pcp.

Cash

Over the past 12 months we have gradually

reduced inventory that we built to mitigate

the raw material shortages and elongated

shipping timeframes arising from the

Covid-19 pandemic. As a result of this

continued focus and good management of

receivables we generated an 81 per cent

increase in operating cash f low to $36.5

million (compared to pcp). Consequently,

net debt remains low at $26.4 million well

below pcp and slightly below the June 2023

year end position.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT FY24CHAIR AND CEO’S REVIEW5
Dividend

Ref lecting the strong position of the Group

and our expectations for the full year, the

Board has declared a 6% increase in the

interim dividend to 8.5 cents per share,

imputed 50% (the same level as in the pcp).

The dividend will be paid on 14 March

2024 to shareholders of record at 5pm on 01

March 2024.

Outlook

As discussed at the Annual Shareholders

Meeting in October 2023, Skellerup’s

recent earnings history has been

consistent, incremental, and sustainable

rather than f lashy growth. Our business

remains robust, and we expect some

of the first half headwinds of customers

reducing inventory used in dairy and

leisure applications will abate. The global

environment including the impact this is

having on ocean transit times continues to

make forecasting future results difficult.

However, based on our YTD results and

our expectations of trading conditions and

customer demand for the rest of the year,

we expect FY24 NPAT to be similar to the

prior year record result. Our strategy of

working closely with customers to design

and manufacture engineered products

that assure performance continues to be

our focus to deliver sustainable earnings

growth and shareholder returns.

Leadership

After almost 14 years at the helm

David Mair will step down as CEO on

31 March 2024. David joined the Skellerup

Board in November 2006, was appointed as

acting CEO in July 2010 before taking on the

role on a permanent basis in July 2011. Over

the almost 14-year period he has been in

the role, Skellerup’s annual earnings have

grown by more than 400%, reflecting David’s

leadership and relentless drive for growth

and improvement across the entire business.

Customer focussed development, continuous

operational improvement and careful

allocation of financial and human capital

are key elements David has instilled into

Skellerup. David will continue as a director

and will lead a special project initiative to

progress our in-market capabilities.

We are very pleased to have

Graham Leaming succeed David as CEO.

Graham joined Skellerup as CFO in

December 2012, and is a proven performer,

leading a broad range of commercial

functions delivering great value for Skellerup

over the past 11 years. Together David and

Graham have been a formidable team.

We are very confident that Graham will be

a strong and successful leader for Skellerup

backed by a strong team with a passion

and capability to continue to deliver great

products for customers and sustainable

earnings growth for shareholders.

Industrial

•Market growth and market share gains from

the sale of existing and new products for

water (potable and waste), hygiene and

exploration and mining applications, partially

offset by lower sales into sport and leisure

and roofing applications.

Agri

•Dairy sales are softer than anticipated due

to international customers reducing

inventory. Footwear sales remained solid

despite drier weather, with process

improvements aiding margins.

•Impact of favourable exchange rates on
