* The consolidated interim statement of income includes one non-GAAP measure (that is, operating profit before financing costs or

‘EBIT’) which is not a defined term in New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZ IFRS’). The Directors and

management believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to assist readers in understanding the

Group’s financial performance. This measure should not be viewed in isolation and is intended to supplement the NZ GAAP

measures. Therefore, it may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

About this report

Basis of preparation

The primary operations of Tourism Holdings Limited (the ‘Company’ or ‘thl’) and its subsidiaries

(together the ‘Group’) are the manufacture, rental and sale of recreational vehicles (‘RVs’)

including motorhomes, campervans and caravans and other tourism related activities. The

Company is domiciled in New Zealand.

Tourism Holdings Limited is a company registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC

reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company’s shares

are dual listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and the Australian Securities Exchange

(ticker code: THL).

The registered office is:

Level 1, 83 Beach Road

Auckland 1010

New Zealand


The consolidated interim financial statements of the Group have been prepared:

• in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP),

NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as applicable

for a “for profit” entity. These interim financial statements do not include all the information

and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and therefore should be read in

conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023;

• in New Zealand dollars with values rounded to thousands ($000’s) unless otherwise stated.

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

These unaudited interim financial statements were approved for issue on 20 February 2024.

Changes in accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are

consistent with those used in the 30 June 2023 annual financial statements, unless

otherwise stated.

There were no substantial amendments to New Zealand Accounting Standards adopted during

the period that have a material impact on the Group.

Seasonality of business

The tourism industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations with peak demand for tourism attractions

and transportation over the summer months of each country the Group operates in. New Zealand

and Australia’s profits are typically generated over the southern hemisphere summer months and

in Canada, the United States of America and the United Kingdom, profits are typically generated

over the northern hemisphere summer months. Due to the seasonal nature of the businesses, the

risk profile at 31 December 2023 is not representative of all risks faced during the period. The

operating revenue and profits of the Group’s segments are disclosed in note 1.

Critical accounting estimates and judgement

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and

the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.

The estimates used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements are

consistent with those used in the 30 June 2023 annual consolidated financial statements, unless

otherwise stated.

Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements (continued)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Section A – Financial operations

In this section

This section explains the financial operations of thl, providing additional information about

individual items in the consolidated statement of income, including segmental information,

certain expenses and dividend distribution information.

1. Segment reporting

thl is organised into geographic and service type operating segments. They are made up of the

following business operations:

New Zealand Rentals Rental of motorhomes and the sale of new and ex-rental fleet direct

to the public and through a dealer network;

Action Manufacturing Manufacturing and the sale of motorhomes and other

speciality vehicles;

Tourism Group Kiwi Experience and the Discover Waitomo Caves Group experiences;

Australia Rental of motorhomes and 4WD vehicles, manufacture of RVs, the

sale of new and used RVs and ex-rental fleet direct to the public and

through a dealer network and Australian Group Support Services;

United States Rentals Rental of motorhomes and the sale of new and ex-rental fleet directly

to the public and through a dealer network;

Canadian Rentals Rental of motorhomes and the sale of new and ex-rental fleet directly

to the public and through a dealer network;

UK/Europe Rentals Rental of motorhomes and the sale of new and ex-rental fleet directly

to the public and through a dealer network; and

Other Includes thl digital, Group Support Services in New Zealand, and

Group consolidation and elimination entries.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to

the chief operating decision-maker (‘CODM’). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating

resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the

executive management team together with the Board of Directors (the Board), who make

strategic decisions.

Operating profit/(loss) before interest and tax is the main financial measure used by the CODM to

review the Group’s performance.

All revenue is reported to the executive team on a basis consistent with that used in the

consolidated statement of income. Operating expenses incurred by one segment on behalf of

another and recharged on a cost-recovery basis are presented on a net basis. Segment assets and

liabilities are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. These assets and liabilities

are allocated based on the operations of the segment, and the physical location for assets.

Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of-use

assets, inventories, receivables and operating cash. The investments and derivatives designated

as hedges of borrowings are allocated to ‘Other’ operating segment. Net funds employed is a

non-GAAP measure that is not defined in NZ IFRS (this measure has not been subject to a

separate audit or review).

The Board and management believe that non-GAAP financial measures provide useful

information to assist readers in understanding the Group’s financial performance. These

measures should not be viewed in isolation and are intended to supplement the NZ GAAP

measures and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by

other companies.

In accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets, the Group is required to assess whether there

are indications these non-financial assets may be impaired at 31 December 2023. If any such

indication exists, the Group shall estimate the recoverable amount of the CGU. For the purposes

of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs

which represent the Group’s operating segments (refer to note 1).

14thl FY24 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Notes to the consolidated interim financial statements (continued)

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

9. Impairment of non-financial assets (continued)

The impairment indicator assessment observed there were impairment indicators in United

States Rentals which warranted the calculation of the recoverable value at 31 December 2023.

The results of this updated impairment test from 30 June 2023 reconfirmed there was no

impairment of non-financial assets in United States Rentals at 31 December 2023.

The recoverable amount of the United States Rentals had been determined using value in use

calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on management prepared

forecasts covering a five-year period plus a terminal value calculation. The annual free cash flows

are then discounted by a country specific post-tax discount rate to arrive at a recoverable amount

(or enterprise value) of the CGU which is compared to the carrying book value. An external party

has reviewed the discount rate calculation used during the period ended 31 December 2023

based on the current market inputs. The Group has adopted this discount rate in the value in

use calculation.

The value in use models used by the Group to generate the cash flow projections incorporate the

expected growth rates from markets the businesses operate in. Capital expenditure and disposal

proceeds are projected forward based on current build or purchase costs, realisable sale values

and expected fleet rotation by vehicle type (for the rentals operations).

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis for the value in use calculation of

United States Rentals:

On a standalone basis, none of the sensitivity tests shown in the table above would result in an

impairment for United States Rentals. The United States businesses has over the long term

provided some of the best returns within the Group and operates in the largest RV market in the

world. It continues to perform profitably and is expected to do so in the future.

No impairment of United States Rentals was recognised during the period to 31 December 2023,

however, a change in any of the key assumptions noted below would result in a breakeven

position with no remaining headroom.

10. Business combinations

Update on the acquisition of Apollo Tourism & Leisure Ltd

On 10 December 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into a conditional Scheme

Implementation Deed with Apollo Tourism & Leisure Ltd (‘Apollo’ or ‘ATL’) to merge through an

Australian Scheme of Arrangement. Under the Scheme thl would acquire all outstanding shares

in ATL. The scheme was conditional upon thl receiving approval to list on the Australian Securities

Exchange (‘ASX’) and subject to approval of ATL shareholders and finalisation of appropriate

funding arrangements for the merged entity. In addition, there were various court and regulatory

approvals in Australia and New Zealand, including competition regulatory clearance and other

conditions specified.

Following the satisfaction of all conditions, the Group acquired ATL on the 30 November 2022

with the implementation of the Scheme of Arrangement. ATL shareholders were issued one thl

share for every 3.210987 ATL shares held resulting in 57,693,364 shares being issued.

thl’s closing share price on 30 November 2022 of $3.69 was used to calculate the acquisition

consideration of $213.9 million as per the requirements under NZ IFRS 3. The consideration value

is comprised of the fair value of the new shares issued and the fair value of 898,150 ATL shares that

were previously held by thl.

As disclosed in note 18 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the financial year

ending 30 June 2023 the fair value of assets and liabilities arising from the ATL acquisition were

determined on a provisional basis, which was to be completed within 12 months from acquisition

as permitted under NZ IFRS 3. As at 31 December 2023, the acquisition date fair value of assets

acquired and liabilities recognised has been finalised resulting in no changes to the provisional

amounts or valuation methodologies previously disclosed.

The goodwill balance of $101.8 million on acquisition is attributed to expected synergies in

Australia and New Zealand and has been allocated to the Australia ($94.9 million) and

New Zealand Rentals ($6.9 million) operating segments.

The contribution of Apollo for 1 month to the Group results for the period ended 31 December

2022 was revenue of $28.1 million and operating profit before interest and tax of $2.2 million.

If the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period, the contribution to revenue and

operating profit before interest and tax for the period is estimated at $233.4 million and

$44.2 million respectively.

12. Interest bearing loans and borrowings (continued)

Syndicated bank borrowings

On 27 June 2023, the Group amended its multi-currency syndicated banking facilities with

Westpac Banking Corporation, Westpac New Zealand Limited and ANZ Bank New Zealand

Limited to include Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited and Australia and

New Zealand Banking Group Limited (London Branch). The amendment includes committed

facilities for debt funding equivalent to approximately NZ$250 million. The facility consists of a

number of multi-currency tranches, including a new GBP facility, all maturing in July 2025. The

Group’s covenants include leverage ratio, debt service cover ratio, Guaranteeing Group coverage

ratio, equity ratio and loan to value ratio. Interest rates applicable at 31 December 2023 range

from 6.6% to 7.3% p.a.

Asset finance

Loans from asset financiers are fully secured debt in relation to motor vehicle assets and may only

be used for the purchase of fleet assets and subject to a number of covenants ratios, including a

current ratio, debt service coverage and debt to tangible net worth ratio. Interest rates applicable

at 31 December 2023 range from 3.46% to 8.95% p.a.

Floor plan finance

Floor plan facilities are maintained to fund the inventory of new motorhomes and caravans held

for resale at retail sales outlets in Australia. Terms are interest only for the first six months and

then interest of 9.26% p.a. plus principal. For some lenders, balances are secured through

retention of title until point of sale.

Other loans

Other loans of $1.6 million in relation to mortgages over land and buildings and COVID-19 support

loans previously provided to Apollo entities in the United Kingdom, were repaid during the period.

Covenants

The consolidated group is subject to lending covenants across a number of its borrowing facilities.

As at the date of these financial statements the Group is within the banking covenant

requirements.

13. Financial instruments

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated

interim financial statements approximates their fair values:

• Derivative financial instruments and financial assets are carried at fair value as

discussed below.

• Receivables and payables are short term in nature and therefore approximate fair value.

• Interest bearing liabilities re-price at least every 90 days and therefore approximate fair value.

Financial instruments of the Group that are measured in the consolidated statement of financial

position at fair value are classified by level under the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset

or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).

Level 3 Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is,

unobservable inputs).

There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the period. There were no transfers

of derivative financial instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period.

As at 31 December 2023 the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair values were issued

shares in Camplify Holdings (CHL) which are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers of financial instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy

during the year.

Independent auditor’s review report

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF TOURISM HOLDINGS LIMITED

Report on the review of the interim financial statements

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Tourism Holdings Limited (“the Company”)

and its subsidiaries (together “the Group”) on pages 1 to 22 which comprise the consolidated

interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, and the consolidated interim

statement of income, consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income, consolidated

interim statement of changes in equity and consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the

six months ended on that date, and other explanatory information. Based on our review, nothing

has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial

statements on pages 1 to 22 of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, and its financial performance and its cash

flows for the six months ended on that date, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review has been

undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s shareholders those matters we are required

to state to them in a review 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 review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusion

we have formed.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial

Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further

described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the financial statements section of our

report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in

New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our

other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.

Ernst & Young provided tax advisory and immigration services to the Group. Partners and

employees of our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of

trading activities of the business of the Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in,

the Group.

Directors’ responsibility for the interim financial statements

The directors are responsible, on behalf of the Entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of

the interim financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary

to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free

from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our

review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not

prepared in all material respects, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited

assurance engagement. We perform procedures, consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other

review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those

performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing

(New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become

aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not

express an audit opinion on those interim financial statements.

The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report

is Simon O’Connor.

Letter from
the Chair & CEO

FEBRUARY 2024

We are confident about
thl’s growth opportunities

and have reiterated our

target of $100M in NPAT

in FY26.

CATHY QUINN ONZM – CHAIR

1thl FY24 INTERIM RESULTS – LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & CEO

Letter from
the Chair & CEO

Dear Shareholders

On behalf of the Board, we present the financial statements for the half-year ending

31 December 2023. During this period, thl delivered net profit after tax of NZ$39.7M, an

increase of 58% over the prior corresponding period (pcp), which included one month of

trading from Apollo due to the merger completing on 30 November 2022.

We consider that we are in a strong position today. We have made significant progress on

the integration of the merger, realisation of synergies and are managing a large change

programme positively whilst organically growing the business with the recovery of

international tourism. We are being responsive to broader market conditions, in

particular the vehicle sales market and managing our fleet investment decisions.

Two clear trends through our results have been the outperformance of rentals on a global

basis and ongoing volatility in vehicle sales. Sales margins are normalising following an

elevated period, in line with the commentary we have provided over the last year.

We are confident about thl’s growth opportunities and have reiterated our target of

$100M in NPAT in FY26.

Business performance

Our rentals businesses in each market

performed well during the period, supported

by strong rental yields that saw good growth

in most markets.

The Road Bear, El Monte and CanaDream

teams in North America operated with a

positive 2023 high season, achieving growth

in hire days, peak rental fleet and average

rental yields (although the yield growth in

the USA was nominal). The USA attributed

most of its growth to greater domestic

activity, whereas Canada saw a greater

proportion of international customers than

in recent years. The UK business, which

operates on the same high season in the

Northern Hemisphere, also had a strong

rental season with revenue and yield growth.

The 2023/2024 high season in Australasia has

also been positive to date with good rental

yield growth achieved. New Zealand in

particular achieved a strong year-on-year lift,

as the prior year saw a shorter booking lead

time with borders opening only some

months out from the high season. Australian

rentals grew tourism bookings however

rental revenue in that market remained

stable as the division had the benefit of

~A$5M in revenue in the pcp related to

the NSW floods.

International tourist arrivals remain well

below pre-pandemic levels with recent data

from the UN World Tourism Organization

indicating that international tourist arrivals

to Oceania in 2023 were only at 74% of 2019

levels. This presents a positive growth

opportunity for our rentals business in

this region over the coming years with

expectations that international tourism

arrivals return towards pre-COVID levels and

we continue to grow our fleet to service this

additional demand.

Our overall result was impacted by the

ongoing challenges in the global vehicle

sales market, which are also evident across

the broader automotive retail market. This

is the area of our business that has been

NET PROFIT AFTER TAX

NZ$39.7M =

INCREASE OF

58%

2thl FY24 INTERIM RESULTS – LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & CEO

more sensitive to the current economic
uncertainty and the high interest rate

environment and while initially limited to

the North American market, is increasingly

impacting demand levels and sales volumes

in other sales markets.

The sales margins achieved in recent years

are continuing to normalise as we sell a

greater proportion of ex-fleet vehicles

purchased at higher costs originally. We

have been clear for some time that this will

eventuate, and the reductions that we are

seeing are in line with our expectations.

We continue to achieve gross profit margin

ratios ranging from ~11% to ~20% in most

markets, with New Zealand an outlier that

continues to achieve elevated margins

over 35%. The normalisation of margins will

continue to be offset by the benefits of

synergies and the growth of our fleet,

enabling us to achieve our overall

growth targets.

Action Manufacturing has delivered a record

half-year result with growth in external

revenue of 55%. Our Tourism businesses,

Discover Waitomo and Kiwi Experience have

also had a record first half, leveraging the

recovering Tourism market in New Zealand.

In particular, Waitomo benefitted from

the additional travellers related to the

Women’s FIFA World Cup jointly hosted

in New Zealand. Positively, Action

Manufacturing and the Tourism division

are on track to deliver record full year

results in FY24.

Dividend

We have declared an interim dividend of

4.5 cents per share, 100% imputed and 25%

franked. The interim dividend will be eligible

for the thl Dividend Reinvestment Plan with

a discount of 2% available to participating

shareholders.

As we previously advised, we expect the

split of thl’s annual dividends to be weighted

approximately ~30% and ~70% between

interim and final dividends. The dividend

policy approved by the thl Board last year

remains, targeting a pay-out ratio of 40 to

60% of thl’s underlying net profit after tax.

A significant amount of
effort has gone into the

integration project over this

period as we now well and

on track to deliver our

original scope of $27 to

synergies ahead of

original expectations.

GRANT WEBSTER – CEO

4thl FY24 INTERIM RESULTS – LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & CEO

Capital management
Net debt on 31 December 2023 was $403M

and represents a net debt to EBITDA ratio

of ~2.1x on a trailing 12-month basis. We

continue to invest in growing our fleet as

the demand for rentals recovers. Our closing

rental fleet of 7,366 vehicles on 31 December

2023 represents a 15% increase across the

last 12 months. Our fleet investment in H1

is largely reflected in an additional net 500

vehicles in work-in-progress, being vehicles

paid for but remaining in the on-fleeting

process on 31 December 2023, and therefore

excluded from rental fleet figures.

Our total fleet remains well below the

combined peak fleet levels of thl and Apollo,

providing a runway for continued growth

over the coming years.

Merger integration

The end of this reporting period coincides

with the completion of the first twelve

months of thl and Apollo combined. A

significant amount of effort has gone into

the integration project over this period as we

now well and truly operate as a single, global

organisation. We are on track to deliver our

original scope of $27 to $31M in annual

cost-out synergies ahead of original

expectations and have a pilot underway for

additional North American fleet synergies.

Our integration activity has continued in the

period as we have focused on RV product

efficiency, IT systems consolidation and

addressing the tail end of duplicate spend

across various categories. While we expect

to achieve our initial estimates early, we do

continue to seek out further synergy

opportunities to execute on. The largest

of these opportunities remains the North

American synergies that we believe are

achievable by having the USA and Canada

businesses operate more cohesively from a

fleet management perspective.

CFO update

The recruitment process for the CFO role is

ongoing. There is a clear focus on making an

appointment that is right for thl today, which

is taking longer than originally planned.

Steven Hall, Deputy CFO, has recently

returned to the business in a full time

capacity after a period on parental leave.

Current CFO Nick Judd’s final day with thl

will be at the end of February 2024 and

Steven Hall will operate as Acting CFO

from 1 March until the recruitment

process is complete.

ESG initiatives

We are proud to say that thl has been

recognised for our ESG efforts as a top three

performer in Forsyth Barr’s Carbon & ESG

Ratings of 58 of New Zealand’s best-known

businesses listed on the NZX.

We are pleased with our progress on social

sustainability with the publication of our first,

thl FY24 INTERIM RESULTS – LETTER FROM THE CHAIR & CEO

December 2023. Our Climate & Carbon
Strategy has seen a reduction in our Scope 1

and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and a

robust assessment of our climate risks and

opportunities. However, we recognise that

the significant challenge of decarbonising

our fleet, given supply-side challenges, still

lies ahead and we remain committed to

becoming a ‘future-fit’ business.

M&A activity

We continue to explore acquisition

opportunities of varying scales on a

global basis. Positively, the acquisition

of Camperagent RV in South Australia

successfully completed on 31 January and

our existing Adelaide retail operations are

already in the process of relocating to the

site and the rental operations will follow after

the high season. Camperagent is an example

of an opportunity that makes good business

sense by providing a single scale site for all

our operations in Adelaide, expanding our

sales capability and becoming the leading

RV dealership in the region. We will continue

to explore such opportunities across the

different segments of our business and

execute where appropriate.

Outlook

Whilst EBITDA and EBIT continue to track

to our expectations, a slower vehicle sales

market in H1 FY24 and earlier than expected

payments for new fleet have resulted in

higher net debt and interest costs.

Our current expectations for NPAT in FY24

is around $75M. Rental demand and yields

continue to outperform expectations, which

provides some upside potential to this

expectation. There also remains a level of

uncertainty around retail vehicle sales,

which provides downside risk.

While our NPAT expectations are slightly

lower than our earlier ambitions for the year,

we see FY24 as a transitional year where our

earnings composition shifts from the

elevated vehicle sales margins of recent

years, towards more sustainable rental

earnings. All of this is being achieved against

the backdrop of a negative macro and global

vehicle sales environment.

We reiterate and remain focused on

achieving our goal for $100M in NPAT in

FY26. We expect that FY26 will see the

benefit of stronger rental earnings through

a larger global fleet, greater stability in

the global vehicle sales market and the

realisation of the full synergy benefits from

the Apollo merger. While there is some

volatility in the near term associated with the

vehicle sales market, we believe this will be

temporary in nature. Our category of travel

is one that has grown in popularity in recent

years and which we believe has a positive

future. We believe we are positioned very

well to make the most of that over the

coming period.

In closing, we’d like to thank all our

shareholders for their ongoing support and

all of our crew across the globe, who work

tirelessly everyday to create

unforgettable journeys.

•However, the financial statements for the prior corresponding period (pcp) (FY23

interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2022)

do not include Apollo’s results for the five months prior to 30 November 2022, due

to the Scheme of Arrangement with Apollo completing on 30 November 2022

•Unless otherwise stated, comparisons to the pcp in this presentation exclude

Apollo’s results for the five months prior to 30 November 2022

by 9%:

•New Zealand and Canada achieved double-digit percentage yield

growth

•Australia and the UK achieved high single-digit percentage yield

•USA yields remained broadly stable

•Trends in H2 rental forward bookings show yields in New Zealand and

•New Zealand delivered EBIT growth of 160% against the pcp,

and 8% growth against the pro forma pcp. The pro forma also

included $4.6M in EBIT relating to 110 vehicle sales to Jucy

•Rental revenue growth of 37% against pro forma was

supported by a double-digit percentage increase in average

rental yields and 22% growth in rental fleet compared to 12

months prior

•Hire days remain at ~50% of FY19 levels given the lower fleet

size, demonstrating the growth opportunity through re-fleeting

as hire days return towards pre-COVID levels

•The business delivered a total of 180 sales in a challenging

economic environment, down from 376 in the pro forma pcp.

Demand for used/ex-rental vehicles has remained more

positive with most of the softness seen in new vehicle demand

•The gross profit margin ratio on fleet sales remained largely flat

at 37%, a positive result considering wider market conditions

•~400 vehicles remained in preparation for on-fleeting as at 31

December 2023 and were therefore excluded from rental fleet

figures. Once on-fleeted this should increase the fleet to 2,000+

vehicles in the back end of the high season

•The RV Super Centre retail dealership network has expanded to

five locations with the opening of new branches in Palmerston

North and Hamilton, expanding our national retail accessories

and workshop footprint

•EBIT growth of 9% against pcp and a decline of 45% against pro

forma pcp. A solid rental performance was impacted by

challenges with vehicle sales volumes and margins. The pro

forma also included A$7.9M in EBIT relating to 200 vehicle sales

to Jucy

•Total hire days in H1 were at ~60% of FY19 levels given lower

fleet levels, demonstrating the growth opportunity through re-

fleeting as hire days return towards pre-COVID levels

•Compared to the pro forma pcp, tourism hire days grew

however overall rental revenue remained stable and overall hire

days declined, as rentals had the benefit of ~A$5M in revenue in

the pcp related to the NSW floods

•Within tourism, there was a shift in mix from domestic to

international, as more Australians choose to travel overseas, but

with growth in international exceeding the decline in domestic

•Total RV sales volumes declined by 19% against pro forma pcp.

The gross profit margin ratio on vehicle sales is normalising in

line with expectations, reducing to ~14% for new retail sales and

19% for fleet sales

•Brisbane Manufacturing sees ongoing operational and

efficiency improvements and greater alignment with New

Zealand manufacturing

•The Camperagent RV acquisition successfully completed on 31

January. The consolidation of sites is underway and to be

completed by the end of FY24

•EBIT was down 40%, with rentals improvement weighed

down by a challenged vehicle sales performance

•Rental revenue growth of 6% was achieved through increases

in domestic hire days and the rental fleet, whilst retaining the

yield increases achieved in recent years

•The broader RV sales market remains challenging. The gross

sales margin on fleet sales is normalisingas expected,

declining to ~17%. The reduction in margins reflect the higher

original cost of the vehicles being sold as well as some price

discounting

•The sales market is currently in the low season and further

insight on the recovery should become clearer in Q4 FY24

when the selling season normally commences

•Booking intake volumes for the 2024 rentals season are

tracking ahead of the prior year, however we remain early in

the booking window. The current intake for H2 shows yield

stabilisingin line with our expectations for this market

•~400 vehicles remained in preparation for on-fleeting as at 31

December 2023 and were therefore excluded from rental

fleet figures

•A younger average fleet age compared to pre-COVID has

allowed us to hold back fleet purchases in this market to

mitigate against the risk of an ongoing soft sales market, with

little impact to the rental product proposition and fleet mix

•CanaDream performed well in the period with EBIT growth of

23% achieved through growth in rentals and sales volumes,

despite the difficult sales market

•Rental revenue increased by 38%, reflecting a double-digit

percentage growth in rental yields combined with more hire

days and a larger high season fleet

•The Canadian fleet has increased by 16% compared to 12 months

prior. The closing fleet size reflects market being in the low

season, with plans in place for the 2024 high season fleet to be

larger than 2023

•Forward bookings for H2 are still at an early stage but indicate

yield stabilisation, in line with our expectations

•Despite the challenging sales environment, the business lifted

sales volumes against pcp, delivering 101 sales, through new

wholesale relationships and greater retail traffic, and with the

pcp impacted by constraints of supply available for sale

•As previously indicated, sales margins are continuing to

normalise. Gross profit margin on fleet sales was 11%, impacted

by the prior write-up of fleet book values resulting from the

Apollo merger purchase price accounting adjustments

•North American fleet synergy opportunities are currently in pilot

phase with cross-border fleet transfers underway from Canada

to the USA

•The comparison to statutory H1 FY23 is not provided here as the

•EBIT of £1.5M, broadly in line with the pro forma pcp

•Rental revenue grew by 2% with good growth in rental yields

offsetting a small decline in hire days

•The material growth in fleet sales volumes relates to 155

vehicles sold to New Zealand Rentals as flex fleet. With the

UK business now 100% owned, we are operating the flex

model on a larger scale

•Gross profit margin on fleet sales reduced to ~12%, largely due

to the intercompany sales to New Zealand Rentals reflecting

wholesale pricing. These vehicles will eventually be sold at

retail pricing in New Zealand

•Our European branch in Germany was closed in December

•253% growth in EBIT as the businesses benefit from a

recovering New Zealand tourism market

•The Waitomo businesses had a strong start to the year with

New Zealand co-hosting the Women’s FIFA World Cup, with

an uplift in guests in Q1, particularly from the USA market

•The Chinese market is returning faster than earlier

expectations, which should deliver a further benefit to

Waitomo in H2 FY24

•Kiwi Experience has had a positive start to the season with

good ticket sales with limited discounting in pricing. The

business has a good forward book but is seeing some

softness in the youth/back packer travel market

•Due to historical accounting practices, costs relating to

Australian-based corporate staff, administration and

practices prior to the merger

•A portion of these overhead costs are recharged to the

•The EBIT loss in H1 was $4.3M, up from a loss of $2.1M. The

Outlook

•Whilst EBITDA and EBIT continue to track to our

expectations, a slower vehicle sales market in H1 FY24 and

earlier than expected payments for new fleet have resulted

in higher net debt and interest costs

•Ourcurrent expectations forNPAT in FY24 is around $75M.

Rental demand and yields continue to outperform which

provides some upside potential to these expectations.

There also remains a level of uncertainty around retail

vehicle sales which provides downside risk

•While our NPAT expectations are slightly lower than our

earlier ambitions for the year, we see FY24 as a transitional

year where our earnings composition shifts from the

elevated sales margins of recent years towards more

sustainable rental earnings, all being achieved against the

backdrop of a negative macro and global vehicle sales

environment

•We reiterate our goal to deliver $100M in NPAT in FY26. We

expect that FY26 will see the benefit of stronger rental

earnings through a larger global fleet, greater stability in

the global vehicle sales market and the realisation of the

full synergy benefits from the Apollo merger

FY24 INTERIM RESULTS


Summary:

• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $39.7M, an increase of 58% on the prior corresponding period (pcp)

• Rentals performs well globally, with rental yields growing or remaining stable in all markets

• Continued rental fleet growth, with closing rental fleet of 7,366 up 15% on the pcp

• An interim dividend of 4.5 cents per share declared, 100% imputed and 25% franked

• A challenging global vehicle sales environment sees fewer sales volumes. Gross profit margins are

now normalising in most markets, in line with our expectations

• Action Manufacturing and Tourism deliver record half-year results and are on track to deliver record

results for FY24

• We currently expect NPAT in FY24 to be around $75M. Rental demand and yields continue to

outperform expectations which provides some upside potential. There also remains a level of

uncertainty around retail vehicle sales which provides downside risk

• We reiterate our goal to deliver $100M in NPAT in FY26

thl today releases its results for the six months ending 31 December 2023.


Cathy Quinn, thl Chair, said “we consider that we are in a strong position today. We have made

significant progress on the integration of the merger, realisation of synergies and are managing a large

change programme positively whilst organically growing the business with the recovery of international

tourism. We are being responsive to broader market conditions, in particular the vehicle sales market

and managing our fleet investment decisions.”


Grant Webster, thl CEO, said “the two clear trends through our results have been the outperformance of

rentals on a global basis and ongoing volatility in vehicle sales. Our rentals businesses in each market

have delivered positive results, supported by strong rental yields that saw good growth in most markets.

Our overall result was impacted by the ongoing challenges in the global vehicle sales market, which are

also evident across the broader automotive retail market.


“Action Manufacturing and our Tourism division have also had strong performances, delivering record

half-year results with both on track to deliver record full year results in FY24.”







Dividend


An interim dividend of 4.5 cents per share, 100% imputed and 25% franked, will be payable on 5 April

2024. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) is available to eligible shareholders that wish to participate,

and a 2% discount is available. The record date is 22 March 2024 and the final date for DRP elections is

25 March 2024.


As previously advised, we expect the split of annual dividends between interim and final to be

approximately ~30% to ~70%.


Outlook Commentary


Whilst EBITDA and EBIT continue to track to our expectations, a slower vehicle sales market in H1 FY24

and earlier than expected payments for new fleet have resulted in higher net debt and interest costs.


Our current expectations for NPAT in FY24 is around $75M. Rental demand and yields continue to

outperform, which provides some upside potential to this expectation. There also remains a level of

uncertainty around retail vehicle sales, which provides downside risk.


We see FY24 as a transitional year where our earnings composition shifts from the elevated vehicle sales

margins of recent years, towards more sustainable rental earnings. All of this is being achieved against

the backdrop of a negative macro and global vehicle sales environment.


We reiterate and remain focused on achieving our goal for $100M in NPAT in FY26. We expect that FY26

will see the benefit of stronger rental earnings through a larger global fleet, greater stability in the global

vehicle sales market and the realisation of the full synergy benefits from the Apollo merger.


While there is some volatility in the near term associated with the vehicle sales market, we believe this

will be temporary in nature. Our category of travel is one that has grown in popularity in recent years and

which we believe has a positive future. We believe we are positioned very well to make the most of that

over the coming period.


The FY24 interim financial statements, as well as a letter from the Chair and the CEO and an investor

presentation, are available on thl’s website and on the NZX and ASX websites.

TRANSCRIPT

[START OF AUDIO RECORDING AT 00:00:00 MINS]

D Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Tourism Holdings Limited fiscal year 2024, half

year results briefing. At this time all participants are in listen only mode. After the speakers’ presentation

there will be a question and answer session. To ask a question during this session you [inaudible] *11 on

our telephone. You will then hear an automated message advising your hand is raised. To withdraw your

question, please press *11 again. Please be advised that today’s conference is being recorded. I would now

like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Grant Webster, Chief Executive Officer. Please go

ahead.

GW Thank you, Daniel. That was a wonderful introduction. Thanks everybody for joining us today for the FY 24

interim results presentation. We’ve got a couple of people in the room with us today. We’ve got Amir

Ansari that you know. Welcome back Steven Hall from parental leave and thank you very much for taking

on the acting CFO role, which we announced today as well. And of course, Nick Judd, our CFO – your last

results phone call with THL in this current reign at least, if we don’t get you back in the future, we’ll see.

Alright, we’re going to move through the presentation reasonably quickly so we can get through your Q&A.

We do think there are some elements that are a little bit complicated in the result given the merger, but

broadly speaking it’s pretty self-explanatory. So if we’re at the explanatory note page, it’s fair to say that

overall we know it is a messy period again due to the comparatives, the transaction accounting, number of

the intercompany eliminations and we’ve still got the pro forma results in here and a lot of moving parts.

So our goal has been to simplify the information that we’re focussing on today. We want to be talking

about the business performance in general, we want to be talking about the outlook and the long term

goals and direction accordingly. Before we get into that, we’ve had a couple of questions come through

already this morning on the treatment of the purchase price acquisition accounting in relation to our

guidance of the NPAT where we’ve said would be around $75m for the year. For clarity for all, that number







does include the acquisition accounting impact which we had previously estimated at around $4.4m and

we still believe that’s around the right figure. So on a pre-acquisition accounting basis, the equivalent would

be $79.4m. We’ve mentioned this previously, that we are consistently including the $4.4m. There are

elements of it that will continue in perpetuity and we believe it is the most accurate way to be recording.

Not everyone has grasped that, so just that clarification as we try and keep things simple.

So let’s move straight to the executive summary. The rentals business within THL is going well and we’ve

seen the transition back to tourism globally very positively across the business. The sales business, I guess

we’d say is okay, with some expected headwinds in what is an uncertain FY24, but importantly we see no

longer term or structural changes in that market or consumers in any way that concerns us. Debt is higher

than it’s historically been but again that’s about us increasing out fleet, and with that obviously an

expectation that we increase revenue and we deliver that return on funds employed that we expect and

hold dearly to the way that we operate this business.

We’ve noted that the synergies are going very well and as a business we’re happy with how the merger is

progressing in general. The synergies both from the timing perspective and overall quantum are positive.

Strategically we have reinforced the point that we are well positioned to achieve the FY26 goal of $100m

net profit after tax. The assumptions and market conditions remain suitable for us to achieve that. When

you look at that future goal you’ve got to say that this year is a transition year, a minor bump in the

progression towards those broader strategic goals.

Just quickly moving on to the results slide, it’s all pretty self-explanatory. The statutory result of $39.7m,

up 58% on the prior year has been well received by the media and has been well articulated but we’ll talk

more about the pro forma comparison as we move through the divisional results. We’re certainly well

aligned in the business with our expectations for revenue growth, and you’ll see revenue up 72%. And

you’ll also see that we have fleet up at 15%. Now that does reflect the trading fleet. There is a work in

progress fleet level that will be covered later on by Nick, and with that we’ll talk more about the net debt

and the CapEx number. As we’ve said, it does increase our net debt to $403m and as I mentioned earlier,

with that being focussed on fleet growth it is all about how we generate the additional revenue associated

with that fleet, and that’s where we get that opportunity to build and grow towards that target. And finally,

I just want to mention the dividend at 4.5 cents per share. Nick will cover the details of that, including why

you shouldn’t try and necessarily extrapolate an exact figure for our profit for the year or final dividends

given the nature of those assumptions.

Let’s move on to rental yields and sales margins. It’s a positive story globally when it comes to rental yields.

We’ve given some broad indication on H1 and we’ll talk about our division outlook as well. We haven’t

included that graph that we did historically on where we thought the pattern of yields are, but it would be

fair to say in every country we have not moved in the way that we thought, we have moved more positively.

The result shows that we’re focussed and driving the right mix between yield, fleet size and market share,

and given that we’ve continued to grow yields in the first half we would reinforce the fact that we’re coming

off a higher base moving forward. It’s a pleasing place to be and it’s one where customers see the value in

our product and shows that we’re managing yield in a way that’s appropriate for the market and the

broader opportunities of the business. We’ve highlighted before and we’d reinforce that we do see some

yield decline or stabilisation in some areas as we move forward, but we’ll talk about those on a divisional

basis. We will not see yields return to pre-Covid levels with our current expectations. Margins are

normalising in vehicle sales and we’ve been clear about that time after time in the recent expectations.

I’ll pass over to Nick now to talk about the dividend, the capital management and the synergies.







NJ Thanks Grant, and hello to all on the call. Focussing for a start on the dividend, it is pleasing that we’ll pay

our first interim dividend in a number of years. A 4.5 cent dividend, which is 100% imputed and 25%

franked. A reminder that our dividend policy is to pay 40% to 60% of underlying NPAT. As previously guided,

our dividends are expected to be split approximately 30% as interim and 70% as final, which aids the

seasonality of cash flows associated with the fleet purchasing and business earnings.

As Grant stated earlier, the 30% to 70% split is an approximation and shouldn’t be used as a proxy of the

4.5 cents to try and work out the profit number for the year.

Debt has materially increased in half one as we have grown the fleet, particularly in the Southern

Hemisphere, held fleet for longer due to the slower sales market, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere,

taken delivery of some fleet earlier than expected, particularly in the US and New Zealand, and had a rise

in floorplan debt associated with holding stock for longer in our Australian retail business. At the 31

st

of

December we have a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 2.1, and it will stay more elevated as we continue to invest

in the fleet regrowth, but this is in line with expectations and we expect full year net fleet CapEx to be

around previous expectations at $170m with an additional $10m spent on non-fleet CapEx.

As Grant mentioned we had a significant number of fleet sitting in the work in progress balance at the 31

st


of December as US purchases were delivered earlier than original expectations and a larger number of

fleet, both new and used, were shipped from the UK and Europe down to New Zealand and they were in

the process of being on-fleeted at that point in time. Supply chains do remain with some bumps and hence

why we’ve taken delivery of some vehicles earlier, but it is certainly in a much improved situation from a

year ago.

Positively, even with some longer term low fixed rate debt rolling off and being replaced by current price

debt, we have seen our effective interest rate at 7.2% for the half decrease and sit slightly below the FY23

effective interest rate and we continue to see pricing improvements from our funding group. We continue

to have a strong and very supportive lending group and have significant head room to enable the re-fleet.

Turning to merger, integration and synergies. As Grant has touched on, the story is positive here and if this

slide looks familiar, it is because it is, we’ve used this slide consistently regarding our synergies in a number

of our presentations. The information on the slide also remains similar as we are on track to deliver the

$27m to $31m in pre-tax cash synergies ahead of our original timing, and we are now at a point where we

can assuredly say that the synergies will be delivered. We will achieve 100% of the synergies in FY25.

Significant activity continues in the business to deliver the synergies with key recent focus areas being

delivery of the integrated IT roadmap, product related areas such as the bill of materials and repairs and

maintenance supplier spend, and the final labour, property and duplicate corporate costs coming out of

the business. Alignment of the manufacturing businesses in Australia and New Zealand is going well with

quick win productivity and operational synergies identified and planned to roll out in half two, and longer

term initiatives planned for implementation in FY25.

FY25 is also aimed at scaling the North American fleet synergies with a trial of fleet transfers between

Canada and USA currently underway and taking place this month. Given that they are a reoccurring cost of

multiple years, we have not excluded the $1.5m in implementation costs from our underlying performance.

We expect to be under the implementation costs budget that we identified and with the majority of spend

having occurred also.

Lastly, with every month the counterfactual plans which the synergy comparison was built against get less







and less relevant and we are likely to stop reporting on the synergies in the near future as the

counterfactual has become irrelevant and you will see the benefits flow through to the NPAT bottom line.

It is important to remember that we are not immune from the inflationary cost increases that all businesses

face and which will impact costs into the future.

I will now pass back to Grant to give a summary of the business unit performance.

GW Brilliant. Thanks Nick, appreciate that. Right, let’s go through the results starting with New Zealand. We’re

very pleased with the New Zealand business in almost every aspect of the operation. As with Australia,

when we compare year on year, the previous period did have the sale of vehicles to Jucy, but in New

Zealand the tourism demand has been particularly strong and yields have continued to grow by double

digit amounts and show no signs of decreasing at this point in time. Vehicles are buoyant and margin

remained broadly in line with our expectations, although we would note that the vehicle sales market is

quieter at the top high end of the market where price points are sort of north of $200,000.

We’re positive about the broad outlook for rentals and vehicle sales in New Zealand. We’d note the

opening of two more RV Super Centres, one in Hamilton that leverages the Action Manufacturing site in

Foreman Road, and one in Palmerston North. That’s certainly a good growth area for us as a business with

low capital deployed.

Let’s move on to Australia. So the Australian result was slightly behind our internal expectations. When

looking at the pro forma result you certainly see a significant drop on the prior year but we note again that

that compares with the Jucy sale of vehicles and a significant non-tourism revenue benefit that we had in

the prior correspondence period relating to the Sydney floods, which obviously wasn’t repeated this year

and because of the time of year it wasn’t something that we could replace with tourism revenue easily.

Within tourism in general, there was a shift from domestic to international as more Australians chose to

travel overseas. With vehicle sales we saw the decline against the pro forma corresponding period

reflecting the general market for automotive and leisure sales in Australia. The gross profit margin is

normalising as we’ve indicated and again, that’s what we’ve expected. This segment also includes Brisbane

manufacturing and the administration costs for Australia, which will be separated out in time.

We’re very pleased to get the Camperagent Adelaide acquisition underway and then completed at the

start of this year. It sets us up really well for good synergies in that market and ongoing development of

the region in South Australia.

Moving on to the USA. That’s certainly a disappointing result for us driven clearly by the vehicle sales

market. If you do follow this market you would have seen reporting from the industry of public listed

companies up there that, as I say, that clearly indicated that it’s a market wide issue, it’s not a

thl issue and

you’d understand where the current market is. Importantly, in that vehicle sales market there is an

expectation that it will rebound and often it can rebound quite quick, and over decades has had an ongoing

compounding growth. Calendar 2024 is expected within the market to see some growth in RV sales and

the general market is reflecting that. Particularly we’d expect to see growth if interest rates starts to fall,

which could be any time, anybody’s pick, but we would suggest some time around mid-year. We remain

conservative in our expectations from a rentals and sales perspective at the moment.

In the USA you’ll see that we had growth in hire days and retention of the yield growth, which we’ve

achieved over previous years. The rental outlook for this coming high season remains reasonably positive.

There’s an international trade event in Germany in just over a week’s time, which should give us some real







good indication of the mood towards the USA and Canadian rental markets. It will be interesting because

those markets will certainly see the trends for the high season coming out of Europe. If you look at the

public information from the listed wholesale entities in tourism, it certainly does indicate that demand is

still strong for North America tourism in general. The customers seem to be more price sensitive in the US

market. That’s what we’re seeing and some of it relates to exchange rate, but we overall remain positive

about the US in the long term and again we see no structural issues in that business that doesn’t see it

improving over time.

With Canada, a positive result for the first half. Really strong yield growth over the prior period,

corresponding period, and again pretty much double digit growth in yield and achieved those high yields

obviously because we had a higher rental demand than the US and it is a shorter season and fleet size and

the total market seems to have stayed pretty stable. We see yields stabilising in this market in the current

period, but again would reiterate that point that that stabilisation is coming off a higher growth base.

Vehicle sales in Canada remained a challenge and for the same reasons as we just discussed in the US.

Realistically both Canada and the US are one market when it comes to vehicle sales. We continue to

progress our synergies in that area and we’ve got much greater alignment between the USA and Canada

when it comes to vehicle sales, and we’ll be combining the leadership for vehicle sales across Canada and

US in a very short period of time.

The UK and Ireland and are still a minor part of the business at this point in time and they had an okay half

year. Costs have increased in that business and we’re watching it carefully, in particular insurance has been

a real issue for us which we’re looking to resolve over the coming period. We did see the flex fleet

movement commence again to New Zealand in the last period and those of you that might be new to that,

I would simply put that’s where we take the opportunity to move vehicles from the UK post their high

season down to New Zealand for the New Zealand high season, thus you get a double utilisation

opportunity within one year and can then look to move those vehicles in the New Zealand sales market.

We did have shipping issues this year and you would have heard that in a number of different businesses

which did impact the availability of those vehicles for the peak season. Action Manufacturing had a very

pleasing result and they continue to grow from the benefited scale, and we also see, as Nick mentioned,

some of those supply constraints starting to ease but would offset somewhat in those shipping issues that

we’re seeing on a global basis.

When you look at the growth and headcount here it reflects both the demand from a sales perspective,

the growth and acquisition and the easing of the labour market as well. Chris Devoy, the CEO of Action

Manufacturing now leads both New Zealand and Australia, and that’s provided us some real opportunity

to get more synergies happening in that space to further explore technology benchmarking. We’ve seen

our design capability leveraged across both those businesses and obviously we’re getting those supply

chain benefits as we’ve expected within our synergy goals.

From the tourism perspective, the businesses have recovered extremely well. We’re really pleased with

the results from the FIFA Women’s World Cup. We saw that as very beneficial over the winter period. We’d

like to see the different councils and government in New Zealand target more events of this kind into the

future.

The EBIT margins in the tourism businesses are returning to above pre-Covid levels and it shows that strong

operating leverage that exists within the business. We have importantly said that our expectation at this

point in time, that the tourism businesses, these two businesses combined will exceed their previous

record EBIT results and that will be with a lower visitor number than pre-Covid. So we continue to see a







positive outlook for these businesses and we’ll continue to invest in these businesses as appropriate.

We now look at group support and eliminations. It’s a complicated area and I don’t think we need to go

through in detail. There’s no real change in its approach at this time but we will consolidate all our group

support costs moving forward and simplify the way that we present them given that a number of base

costs all fit within the Australian segment.

The increase in costs here does, as we’ve talked about, relate to the integration programme and obviously

the group support share of the employee bonus that we put in place as well. At a group level right across

the organisation we’ll just remind people that there was over $2m cost for the period as well.

The next couple of slides are just really good slides to get an idea of the divisions in comparison and we’ll

leave you to analyse that in your own time, and we’ll move on to the final slide of the outlook.

It’s important to note for us that in general we continue to be on track with our expectations from both an

EBITDA and an EBIT perspective. It has been a slower vehicle sales market in the first half which has in part

led to a higher net debt, but we do have that higher net debt because we are growing fleet for the future.

Importantly, that higher debt has higher interest costs and so when you look at our expectations for FY24

of around $75m, it’s important to note the primary movement is in the interest cost line.

Yes, the expectations for the year are slightly below our earlier ambitions for the year but we would remind

everyone that this is a transition year, it is a small change and where are our earnings composition into the

future shifts from elevated sales margins of recent years towards more sustainable rental earnings.

Importantly, we’d reiterate again that the assumptions and structural natural of the business reiterates our

ability and belief to achieve the $100m NPAT goal in FY26. That will be the benefit of stronger rental

earnings through a larger global fleet, greater stability in global sales, and importantly the realisation of the

full synergy benefits from the Apollo merger.

We’ll move to Q&A and thank everybody for taking the time to be part of this presentation and we’ll open

up Daniel to you for questions from the floor.

D Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question please press *11 on your telephone and wait for your name to

be announced. To withdraw your question please press *11 again. Please stand by while we compile the

Q&A roster. Our first question comes from Kieran Carling with Craigs Investment Partners. Your line is now

open.

KC Hi guys. First question from me is just around your commentary on yields in Australia through the second

half, building in line with the PCP. You know, we’ve been hearing from some RV operators that in Australia

rental yields are starting to soften quite dramatically, particularly in relation to the domestic consumer.

Can you just provide us with a bit of a read on how the domestic consumer is holding up relative to

international, and whether you see any risk that, you know, yields decline into FY25?

GW So I’ll pick that up, Kieran, thanks for the question. Look, we’d reiterate the key points that we’ve said. So

yields are stabilising. There could be some decline, though they are coming off a higher and higher base.

So yes, there could be some movement. We’ve always stated that year after year after year, we’ve stated

since post-Covid in the high yields that there will be some degree of movement in stabilisation in those

yields. From a domestic perspective, we’re still positive from a domestic perspective. Yes, domestic

business in total has declined. You would expect that as outbound tourism has increased and we have more

international coming into the market. So yeah, comments from other players in the market don’t overly







surprise me, but they would not be an indication of where we see our yields necessarily. We remain positive

about the demand outlook that we have relative to our expectations including yields.

KC Okay, thanks for that. Just in terms of your updated guidance of around $75m, you know, that implies just

over a 60% lift in underlying NPAT through the second half of the year and obviously a fairly even

distribution of earnings between the first and second half. Can you just help us carve out kind of where

that earnings uplift is going to come from within the group in the second half, and also where you see the

seasonality of earnings sitting beyond FY24?

GW Okay, so let’s just take the last part first. The seasonal earnings beyond FY24, over time we will revert more

towards traditional pre-Covid split. You’ve got to take into account obviously Canada being in the business

and so forth and so on, so there are some changes there, but the general trend is heading that way. There’s

no big difference than pre-Covid. In terms of the second half, I mean basically it’s an extension of that same

point. So you’ve got a much stronger January, February, March high season than New Zealand and Australia

relative to the prior year, you’ve got more fleet in those jurisdictions over that high season period as well.

Those are the big changes that move the seasonal nature of the second half. Same with obviously tourism

as well, it’s peak season for the tourism businesses. Anything, Nick, that you would add to that?

NJ No, spot on.

KC Okay, thanks. And you touched on the fact there was some shipping impacts for vehicles coming into New

Zealand from Europe just prior to the peak period. Are you able to quantify, you know, how many vehicles

that impacted and what the financial impact was for the first half?

GW So it was just shy of 200 vehicles, but we wouldn’t quantify what that meant because we were sort of

phasing those into the fleet over that time. We started to see that the shipping delays were... they weren’t

well, well forecasted but we did plan for them so it wasn’t a massive impact from that perspective. It’s

more about the debt levels at year end relative to the earnings.

KC Okay, thank you.

D Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from John O’Shea with Ord

Minnett. Your line is now open.

JO Morning guys, can you hear me okay?

GW Yeah, great John. Good to hear you.

JO Thanks very much. Look, a couple of my questions have already been covered but I just wanted to confirm

in relation to the synergies, what we’re talking about here is with that graph, that 100% realisation, we’re

talking about a run rate, is that correct? So that means that by FY26 we should get the full quantum in that

earnings in the FY26 financial year, is that the right way to think about it?

NJ Bang on, John. I’m glad that the number of times we’ve shown it we’ve finally got the message through to

everybody. You’re spot on.

JO Yep, okay. Terrific, thanks very much. I guess the second question relates to, just picking up your comment

there you said about the Canada and the US sort of synergy in there between doing some business between

the two, can you just elaborate and give us a little bit more colour on what you’re talking about there,







Grant?

GW Sure.

JO And that opportunity and what that could mean moving forward?

GW Yeah, so the simple way of talking about it, and I think it probably won’t be simple when I get into the

detail, but anyway the simple way of talking about it is that you’ve got two fleets, two different... obviously

same peak season but a lot lower off peak season in Canada. And basically looking at buying a particular

group of fleet that can work across both jurisdictions, and by doing so you can pull some of the capital out

over winter in the Canadian operation and so that’s part of it. And then obviously from a sales perspective

as well, being aligned where we can actually sell across both markets in an effective way. So rather than

sort of one business going to one dealer with a particular fleet and then Canada coming back in the door

of the next week, just really aligning where all that fleet sits and what we retail in each jurisdiction so forth

and so on. So it has literally been a vehicle type by vehicle type comparison, comparison of what chassis,

what manufacturer, what those costs are, what achieves the right yields... and adjustable with those fleet

numbers.

JO And I guess the extension of that is clearly, I mean, my question is does that vehicle exist that is suitable

for both? And if it does, how quickly can you act on that?

GW So that’s the trial that Nick talked about. So we do have some vehicles that are moving at the moment and

yes, we have ordered vehicles into next year that will be multipurpose across those jurisdictions. Not all

vehicles, but some vehicles.

JO Yeah.

GW Yep.

JO And I take it then that... if you work through the numbers on that, it could have a material impact on the

earnings, is that reasonable?

GW Material for the North American business in time as the fleet all rotates through, absolutely, yep. Thank

you for highlighting that, you’re absolutely right.

JO And is that included in your $100m target?

GW Some of it is. Some of it is, some of it flows through beyond that as well.

JO Okay, no worries. That’s it for me guys, thanks very much for taking my questions.

GW Not at all, thanks John. Always appreciate it.

D

Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Vignesh Nair with UBS, your

line is now open.

VN Hi, morning, Grant and Nick, can you hear me?

GW Yes, fine. Thanks Vignesh.







VN Awesome, just three questions from me this morning. First off, just focussing on the sales business, I

suppose you’ve mentioned kind of gross margins on sort of resales coming back in line with longline

averages, you’ve sort of done 19%-ish for the first half by my calcs, what can we sort of expect going into

the second half? Is it sort of a kind of a big decline into your longline average levels of sort of 13% to 14%

or is it kind of buffered with sort of that longline average sort of resale margin hit in the sort of FY25 year

and beyond?

GW Yeah, no there’s no dramatic change in the second half. There might be a little bit more in the US

normalisation as we get towards the end of the financial year, but no, most of it flows through into FY25.

VN And is that sort of the same for the retail sales, so the non-fleet sales? I think you did 14% in Australia, is

that kind of a similar style of decline into second half and beyond there?

GW Look, exactly what happens with margins in the retail side in Australia will be interesting, and by that I don’t

mean that they’ll necessarily go back in a dramatic way at all. We’re focussed on making sure that we’re

maintaining our market share and pushing volume through that market. There might be a little bit of a

margin hit but overall when we look at gross margin dollars, I think we’ll be in a reasonable place and quite

comparative.

NJ The difference with the Australian retail is you have a much broader product mix than you do in the other

regions where you’re obviously only selling used fleet, and so that gives us tools and levers that we can

play to which has an impact on that gross margin and obviously on the bottom line as well, depending on

consumer and market demand, but it’s a lot more nuanced and varied because of that.

GW Yep.

VN Okay, so that’s helpful. Second question is just on the fleet size, you sort of have around 7,400 as of the

end of the first half, what sort of target I suppose do you set for yourself into FY24? Obviously you have I

suppose 400, you know, in preparation in New Zealand the US, so I suppose is it sort of taking into account

that 800 overall and then kind of, for the US sales high season into the sort of later end of the second half,

is that how you should sort of think about where you should land on a final kind of yearend sales [over-

talking] number?

NJ Yeah, that’s it 100%. That’s the right way to think about it. We haven’t change the goal that we said, you

know, we’re still targeting 9,500, I think we’ve been pretty clear that that’s more weighted towards FY25

growth. Exactly as you’re thinking about it is right.

VN

Okay, awesome. And the final question is just I suppose double check on what Kieran was talking to in the

Australian business, on sort of rental revenue. I just wanted to get a better gauge of what’s happening to

volumes there. Like you sort of said that overall rental hire days have declined, that’s a function of the fleet

size difference, what’s actually happened to kind of, the utilisation on a per RV basis in the rental business

in Australia?

GW So just a reminder that, well actually just check the transcript for what I’ve said to Kieran, but no, just a

reminder that it was non-tourism revenue that was the big miss in the half to half within the rentals

business. Now two key things for that: that essentially runs at 100% utilisation for a long period of time,

the way that we certainly account for it because that fleet is out essentially on a rental contract, and that

was a very long rental contract for the large number of vehicles in it. So if you take that into account, the







utilisation hasn’t grown quite to the degree that we would have expected or desired, but if you take that

out we are still seeing utilisation growth but we still have utilisation opportunities in Australia as well, and

that’s again part of that, we talked about this before, that domestic to international switch. So domestic

started leaving outbound before international started coming back to a full normal pattern, so that’s where

some of the dynamics are at in the Australian market. Again, nothing that we’re concerned about

structurally, and we still see strong growth in that market.

VN Right, so just to fully clarify. On a per RV sort of fleet basis you’re still seeing I suppose, you know, PCP

growth with this half versus the last on a pro forma basis?

GW We didn’t exactly say that, but overall we do see... yeah, well we do see growth, I didn’t specifically call out

in the second half, but yeah, we should see growth...

NJ And even tourism.

GW Yeah, just have to check exactly what the non-tourism number was in H2.

NJ Okay, awesome. That’s all from me guys. Appreciate it.

GW Thank you.

D Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Grant Lowe with Jarden,

your line is now open.

GL Hi team, can you hear me okay?

GW Yeah, good thanks Grant.

GL Great, most of mine have been asked already so just with a minor one to start with. You called out on the

outlook slide about earlier than expected payments I believe was the language for new fleet, can you just

quantify roughly how much that was?

NJ Yeah, so we gave the vehicle numbers that that related to. So it’s obviously in the US predominantly, which

the numbers are in the slide there.

GL Right.

NJ And so yeah, effectively it’s just... and there was an impact obviously in New Zealand as well where we had

those vehicles that came in, as Grant mentioned, and due to the shipping issues. We would have rather

they got here prior to Christmas but they didn’t, so we had the fleet paid for but not earning. Does that

make sense?

GL Yeah, so that relates to the 400 and the 400 you’ve called out on each of those slides?

NJ That’s right.

GL Right, yeah, understood. Okay, and then just... so you’ve been very clear about yields sort of settling at

much higher levels than pre-Covid in the last few presentations clearly, and you’ve sort of called out that

2H, you know, is looking good, but how do you see... you’re looking at the booking curve for sort of longer

term, are you seeing any sort of changes anywhere along the booking curve in terms of yields, either sort







of at the front end, and I guess, you know, last minute bookings as well, or sort of around shelter seasons

or any change in that booking curve?

GW There’s a few points in there. I think most of it we’ve probably answered in our general commentary where

we see things stabilising. Some of the shoulders have been a little bit lower in some areas, high seasons

have been a little bit higher, still with growth, so that’s what it’s... it’s a little bit all over the place but not

dramatically, not like major, major declines anywhere. At this point in time it could still be nuanced within

the weighted average mix that we have. There’s definitely... we’ve made some commentary in general

terms, the Kiwi Experience backpacker market hasn’t been quite as strong as what we thought, so that

lower backend, that backpacker part of the market, which could be part of what Kieran was picking up in

Australia as well actually, just reflecting on it, that that part of the market is a little bit lower and they are

lower priced [over-talking].

GL Yeah, okay, and... yeah, and you’ve sort of mentioned about how the yields are sort of, yeah, I forget the

exact wording you used, more positive than you’d sort of expected a few months ago, how are you seeing

the margins? We can obviously do the maths on percentages and the dollar margins on the vehicles, but

how do they compare to your expectations? Again, you’ve been very clear they’re coming down, but how

are they tracking relative to those expectations at the ASM for example?

GW Well it’s slightly different by region. In general terms you would say that they’ve been declining at a slower

rate than what we expected. US is probably the one that’s declining in line with our expectations.

GL That’s great, thank you. That’s all.

D Thank you. One moment for our next question. Our next question comes from Ben Wilson with Wilsons

Advisory. Your line is now open.

BW Thank you. Good morning, gentleman. Again, most of my questions have been answered but look, just in

terms of the 500 vehicles that were pre-paid, not wanting to [00:40:32] the point but can you potentially

just clarify a little bit how that relates to the 400 vehicles that remain in preparation for on-fleeting in both

the US and New Zealand, I imagine the 500 mostly relates to the US but also the shipping issues in New

Zealand. If you can just clarify how to [00:40:53].

AA Hey Ben, you’ve got Amir here. I’ll just step in for the guys. So look, when we look at the WIP balance we’re

saying that there’s 400 in NZ and 400 in the US, but especially in the context of net debt and the movement

there, we’re flagging that there’s an additional net 500. The reason for that is that there is generally a level

of work in progress within each market. If you go back to 30 June there was some WIP in New Zealand, so

when you look at the net number it’s 500.

BW Okay, thanks Amir. And just lastly, in terms of US sales, just wondering how much of the weakness was

general market weakness and demand versus did you still have a bit of an issue in terms of being able to

secure enough room on dealership floors for your product?

NJ They sort of go hand in hand [over-talking] really in terms of, so the overall market was soft and so as they

lend to certainly the winter period there was of resistance and reluctance to see the utilised floor plan lines

that were available. Some of them had less available than what they have previously but certainly there

was no differentiation, it was symptomatic of the overall market and the sentiment up there at the current







time.

GW [00:42:17].

BW Okay, thanks Nick. And appreciate this might be drawing a long bow, but I guess with the flavour of the

CamperAgent acquisition as well, is there an argument that you should be looking at acquisitions or

development with dealerships in the US, I guess to sort of be able to tackle a bit more ownership of this

problem going forward?

GW That’s an interesting one. So you’re saying that we should own more dealerships, or own dealer... well I

mean we’ve got dealership sites on a number of our existing sites, but you’re suggesting that we go into

the dealership market, more in the US?

BW I’m just wondering if it’s, you know, something that you’re looking at because, as I understand it, you

don’t... it’s most of it focussed in what you’ve got in Australia, but [over-talking].

GW It’s on our existing site, that’s right. And I mean, it’s fair to say, as we were saying, that we sell used ex-

rental fleet and that’s all that we sell at the moment. So I think we’ll take that on advice, Ben, thank you.

BW Thank you.

D Thank you. As a reminder, to ask a question please press *11 on your telephone and wait for your name to

be announced. To withdraw your question, please press *11 again. One moment for our next question.

Our next question comes from Belinda Moore with Morgans, your line is now open.

BM Good morning everyone. Just on the net debt, Nick, can you give us any guide sort of where you see that

year end and I suppose over the next few years, you know, in your peak fleet period. Where do you sort of

see net debt to EBITDA peaking or what level wouldn’t you take it over? And I suppose more broadly, I

think in some of your commentary you allude to you continue to assist some other acquisitions, potentially

a bit more flavour on that. And then just with group corporate costs, how should we think about that for

the full year, and I suppose in 25, does that $2m sort of one off bonus come out please? Thank you.

NJ Yeah, so I’ll start with the last one firstly. Yeah, the $2m does come out. Obviously the Board may make a

choice at some point in future to redo that again, but at this stage it comes out, so that’s an easy one to

answer. Moving back to the net debt and then maybe Grant will want to touch on the acquisitions, but so

we’re obviously slightly higher than what our expectations were at this point in time, but we still have a

reasonable number of purchases to come in [00:45:20] market so, you know, we’ve still got peak season

purchases to go for Canada, for UK and we continue to re-fleet in New Zealand and Australia through the

manufacturing facilities, that we have to have a more, I guess a more stable build profile throughout the

year rather than the peaks that we see in the northern hemisphere. So you can expect that debt will be

there or thereabouts in terms of... and, you know, it will be slightly more than what it is now and hence

why we’ve guided towards that net CapEx number, that net fleet CapEx number of $170m. We said that

we’ve done $103m, so there’s a net $67m upside in that and that gives you a fairly good indication of

where that goes. We obviously have in that first half, which is one thing to note, was we had the dividend

that came through and we fully paid that dividend both an interim and final at the same period. So we

obviously don’t have that reporting in the second half and nor will that go into halves in future. So Grant,

do you want to touch on the acquisitions piece?







GW Yeah, so look very briefly, sorry Belinda, it would be a reasonably standard line at the moment which is we

do have a... always look to maintain a pipeline of opportunities on a global basis and we do have a pipeline.

In terms of narrowing those down, it would be fair to say, as we’ve said before, that acquisition of a rentals

business in New Zealand and Australia would be highly unlikely given what we’ve done over the last couple

of years, but certainly there is some small opportunities such as the Adelaide type opportunity and then

we continue to look at North America and Europe and UK as further opportunities.

D Thank you. Our next question comes from Andy Bowley with Forsyth Barr, your line is now open.

AB Thanks operator and good afternoon guys. A couple of questions from me, the first of which is going back

to rental yields. Recognise it’s been a hot topic in this call and more broadly around the market at the

moment. Now in the context of the $100m NPAT target over the next, well I guess two or three years, FY26,

how much flex do you have in that target in terms of where rental yields go? You know, what’s the

expectation? You’ve used the word “stabilised” or “stabilisation” a fair bit in this call, are we expecting

yields to remain stable or is there flex for yields to decline within that target?

GW I think we said last year when we set that $100m goal that it did include room for yields to decline from

where they were at that point in time, and we haven’t changed those assumptions. So yes, there is

tolerance for yields to drop. I think it would be one piece of information too much to tell you exactly what

we’ve put in there, even though I do know the number, just to clarify.

AB No, fair enough. Maybe if you want to, you know, talk or elaborate a little bit more around yields in the

context of what else you see out there, you know previously, Grant, you’ve told us that there’s quite a high

correlation across your markets to hotel yields, you know, probably more so than any other factors or data

points that we can see. Is that still the case in the post-Covid area? I recognise we haven’t had too much

time to generate trends, but what are you seeing that maybe gives you some confidence around the yield

outlook?

GW So we have continued to analyse that. So there is still a strong correlation with hotel yields. It’s not directly

and the correlations a little bit less than what it was pre-Covid and the work that we... we did quite a lot of

work around this for the Commerce Commissions in both countries, in both New Zealand and Australia.

And hotel yields in general, you can pick areas, like you can pick Auckland and New Zealand and say hotel

yields aren’t where they need to be, but that’s also reflective of the fact that there’s another 5,000 plus

rooms in Auckland in recent time at the four and five star level, so that’s quite a different situation to what

we’re in. So yes, the hotel yields are still looking positive on a global basis when we look at them, and you

can see that if any of you are looking to go on holiday anywhere in the world, you’ll probably see that

reflected in the yields. Car rental yields are staying up as well, so the fact that airlines, which obviously you

know even better than me, Andy, there’s some movement backwards in yields there, but that’s actually

more beneficial to us. We don’t see any correlation with those yields and obviously they help grow demand

and stimulate demand, so we see that as positive.

AB

Great. Let’s change track to manufacturing, something we haven’t talked a great deal in this call on. The

business seems to be going from strength to strength. It sounds like there’s, you know, further benefits

maybe to be derived from the common management across New Zealand and Australia, can you give us a

sense of, you know, how you see the margin development playing out there? We’ve not got a, I guess a

full margin including intercompany businesses of circa 10%, how much more is there to go in terms of







extracting, you know, the benefits of integrating these businesses?

GW So there’s definitely more margin in there in terms of the integration and as we’ve said, that’s one of our

synergy targets that’s coming to fruition, so that’s positive. Broadly speaking beyond that, there will be a

point where you run into that standard trade-off between margin and volume, particularly in the retail

markets where there are some price conscious products that we currently don’t produce, which could be

an opportunity in the retail market for us. They would inevitably be lower margin but could be higher

volume and obviously we continue to get that overhead recovery. There’s a really strong discipline in that

business around margin cost recovery and how you actually price everything appropriately, but if you were

purely looking at BAU and the natural growth we have, yes, there is good margin opportunity.

AB Great, thanks Grant.

GW Thanks Andy.

D Thank you. I’m showing no further questions at this time. I would now like to turn back over to Grant

Webster, CEO for closing remarks.

GW Right, I’ll see if I can keep it short enough to keep everybody on the line and just watch the participants

don’t just jump off. Oh yep, no, they’re jumping off I better be quick. Thank you very much everybody, we

will look to see many of you over the next few days. And a special shout again to Nick Judd, thank you very

much, Nick, for everything that you’ve done for THL, we’ll talk about it as we go around the roadshow, but

it’s been an absolute pleasure and we certainly wish you the very, very best for your next endeavour that

we won’t talk about, even though everyone knows what it is.

NJ Thank you, Grant. Appreciate it.

GW Thanks very much everybody.

D Thank you. This concludes today’s conference call. Thank you for participating, you may now disconnect.
