MOVE Logistics Group – 1H24 Results
Company Announcement
23 February 2024
MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP 1H24 INTERIM RESULTS
Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has today reported its
unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2023. The result was above the
guidance provided in December 2023 (1H24 Normalised EBITDA $11.5m - $12.5m), with the
company reporting Normalised EBITDA of $13.2m.
As previously advised, economic and sector headwinds continue to impact, with inflationary cost
pressures and subdued customer activity, particularly for Freight and Warehousing. The retail and
construction markets have been particularly hard hit, both of which are important customer sectors
for MOVE. MOVE’s diversity across customer and business sectors is an advantage in this
environment, ensuring limited exposure to any one sector.
MOVE is continuing to execute on Project Blueprint, a 12 – 18 month dual pathway programme of
short and long term initiatives to reshape and strengthen the business, and drive growth. The first
three months have now been completed, with the focus on embedding change, improving
productivity, driving revenue and delivering customer service excellence. As part of this, a
comprehensive cost out programme has been accelerated to drive efficiency and operating
excellence. Most benefits from Project Blueprint initiatives are expected to be seen from 2H24
onwards.
Financial Snapshot
The six month financial performance reflects the first three months of Project Blueprint, softer
customer demand as a result of economic headwinds, the ongoing re-set of the Freight business,
and investment into future growth opportunities including Oceans and technology. In addition, some
project work undertaken by the Specialist division was delayed and pushed into future periods.
These projects remain ongoing. The company is continuing to transition to a capital light model,
providing additional support for the balance sheet and increasing business resilience.
• Total income $159.4m
• EBITDA $12.3m, with Normalised EBITDA $13.2m
• Reported NLAT $(10.7)m with Normalised NLAT of $(9.6)m
• Net debt reduced to $16.9m
• No dividend has been declared
Management Comment
CEO of MOVE, Craig Evans, said: “Customer service excellence remains at the fore as we continue to
work in partnership with a diverse range of businesses from across New Zealand, providing quality
supply chain and logistics services. We continue to tightly manage all areas within our control, and
are maximising this time to progress Project Blueprint, and particularly, the reset of our Freight
business which has taken longer than originally anticipated. We have identified productivity and
growth opportunities and are moving at pace to take advantage of these.
“Investment into our nationwide sales resource is driving increasing sales activity and momentum,
and MOVE’s new Oceans shipping service is also opening up new opportunities for our business. We
have continued to refine the new Transport Management IT System and this is expected to go live
across our network in 2H24. The leadership team has been strengthened with new leaders driving
commercial excellence and momentum.
“We continue to strengthen our end to end supply chain offer, linking our national freight network
with new services and transport solutions including trans-Tasman shipping and increasing use of rail
which offers lower cost and carbon emissions than road.”
Stronger 2H24 Performance Expected
Performance in the second half year is expected to improve from 1H24, as MOVE benefits from
increased new business leads and participation in RFP processes for MOVE’s Freight and Logistics
businesses, and as Project Blueprint initiatives start to deliver. The focus remains on cost
efficiencies, working capital management and customer value proposition.
Craig Evans said: “In the current environment, businesses are seeking cost effective, quality
providers and MOVE is well positioned with the expertise and competitively priced solutions to meet
their needs. The multiple initiatives underway will position MOVE to capture the increased customer
activity levels expected when the economy recovers.”

1.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2023 has been prepared
in accordance with accounting standards IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
They have also been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP).
The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly,
this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and any public
announcements made by MOVe Logistics during the interim reporting period.
2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements, unless disclosed below are consistent
with those used in the previously published audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30
June 2023. There were no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 July 2023 that would have a
material impact on the Group.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented
in New Zealand dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional and the presentation currency of all companies
in the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited and TNL Australia Pty Limited, whose functional currencies are
United States dollars and Australian Dollars respectively.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
a. Impairment of Goodwill
The Group tests intangible assets for impairment to ensure they are not carried at above their recoverable amounts
• At least annually for goodwill
• Where there is an indication that the assets may be impaired (which is assessed at least each reporting period)
The Group concluded that there are no indicators of impairment for any of the CGU’s at 31 December 2023, although they
will continue to monitor the position closely for any evidence that the goodwill has become impaired.
4. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and the
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
These interim financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit before income taxes from continuing operations (a GAAP
measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, share of loss of associates,
asset/goodwill impairment, restructuring costs and share acquisition costs (non operating expenses) as reported in
the financial statements.
• Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit before income taxes from continuing operations (a GAAP
measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, share of loss of associates, asset/goodwill impairment,
restructuring costs and share acquisition costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding
of the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of
business units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute
for measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable
to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net loss after tax from continuing operations:

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
The Group has made the decision that the eleven operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Group CEO
can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard to the
nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of capital,
the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.
In addition to GAAP measures, the Group CEO also uses non-GAAP measures (EBITDA and EBIT) to assess the commercial
performance of the segments. The reportable operating segments have been determined as:
INTERNATIONAL
This segment includes international freight forwarding, shipping and agency services across a broad range of industries.
SPECIALIST
This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.
FREIGHT
This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide
range of freight types.
CONTRACT LOGISTICS
This segment specialises in contracted solutions providing services for customers including warehouse and supply chain
capability and delivery of bulk liquids.
CORPORATE
This segment includes our corporate services function.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury
function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment
revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.
The Group has a diverse range of customers from various industries, with only one customer contributing more than
10% of the Group’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Contract Logistics segment.

Total secured borrowings28,90724,323
The Group is required to comply with a number of financial covenants. During the 6 months to December 2023 the Group
forecasted potential breaches to the amended covenants as a result of the ongoing reset of the Freight Business and the
start-up of the Oceans service. The Group obtained a waiver from ANZ for the December 2023 test period. On 22 February
2024 the ANZ formally reset the financial covenants out to 31 March 2025 as below. This amendment as well as principal
repayment relief indicates the continued support of the Groups banking partner ANZ.
• EBITDA actual > 85% of EBITDA Forecast on a YTD basis
• Net capital expenditure restricted to $1.9 million in FY24 and $3.2 million in FY25
• Guarantor coverage Assets >85%
• Gaurantor coverage EBITDA >90%
Based on the forward looking forecast approved by the Board and the above financial covenants the Group is expected
to comply for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Accordingly, the consolidated interim
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
7. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In May 2022, the Board approved and announced its intention to undertake a formal sales process to investigate the
market interest in the sale/asset disposal of its subsidiary company MOVE Specialist Lifting & Transport Ltd which operates
in the Specialist segment. The Specialist company had been classified as held for sale and was a discontinued operation
under NZ IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations at 31 December 2022.
In March 2023, it was determined after the appointment of the Groups new CEO and a strategic review that MOVE
Specialist Lifting and Transport Ltd no longer met the criteria to be disclosed as held for sale resulting in it no longer being
actively marketed for sale. As a result, the Profit or Loss has been restated for the period ended 31 December 2022 to
reflect comparable numbers consistent with that presented in the period ended 31 December 2023. The carrying value of
the assets and liabilities was asssessed and then reclassified to the relelvant sections in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
No impairment was recognised.
8. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
On 22 February 2024 the Group signed an amendment with the ANZ Bank NZ Ltd to vary the financial covenants and
banking arrangements (refer note 6).
A claim of $3.7M was received on 14 February 2024 for alleged non-performance of a contractual obligation by the Group.
No court proceedings have been filed in respect of this claim at this time. The Group disputes liability and intends to
defend the claim.
