Strong global partnerships help navigate headwinds

FRIDAY 23 FEBRUARY 2024 – Foley Wines announces half year result


CASE SALES 245,000 (down 21%)

BOTTLED SALES REVENUE $28,710,000 (down 13.5%)

OPERATING EARNINGS $1,261,000 (down 77.5%)

REPORTED PROFIT AFTER TAX $1,673,000 (down 60.2%)

OPERATING EBITDA $7,097,000 (down 30.0%)

OPERATING CASH FLOW $2,955,000 (down 57.7%)


Foley Wines CEO Mark Turnbull said, “Without doubt, it has been a tough six months for the

Company. However, we need to put our performance into the context of broader industry

performance.”


New Zealand Winegrowers export statistics for the six months ended 31 December 2023 show bottled

wine exports were down between 21% and 48% in all major markets. In New Zealand, total still wine

sales were down 2.2%, where the Company’s brands grew at 9%.


The Company points to several factors including improvements in global supply chains which have

meant customers have been able to reduce stock levels in their warehouses, resulting in fewer

purchases than in the previous 12 months. At the same time, many customers are reducing their

working capital as the global economy struggles, and consumers have less money to spend on

discretionary purchases – both from retailers and dining out.


“Some major customers were caught with significant over stocking of other wine brands, which

resulted in a very long period of discounting affecting our brands’ promotional calendars,” said

Turnbull.


“We are also seeing significant volumes of bulk Sauvignon Blanc coming on to the market at very

low prices. This has resulted in some of our competitors dropping prices, a practice that we were not

prepared to adopt.”


“Notwithstanding these headwinds, we believe we have the routes to market that will enable us to sell

our brands profitability. We continue to secure strong new routes to market for our premium

portfolio,” said Turnbull.


The Company’s new hospitality venue in Martinborough, The Runholder, opened in August 2023 and

is home to its Te Kairanga, Martinborough Vineyard and Lighthouse Gin brands. With a restaurant,

tasting room, private dining and distillery, it is quickly establishing itself as an iconic destination in

the region. In addition, the Company has recently acquired the long running wine and food festival,

Toast Martinborough, and is committed to ensuring this iconic festival remains relevant for years to

come.


The Company expects a lower yield from the upcoming 2024 harvest. “The industry is predicting that

the Marlborough region is in for a smaller vintage of exceptionally high quality on the basis that there

are no major weather events. Having a high quality vintage is paramount when you are focussed on
producing world class wines.”


“We have established some strong global partnerships that will certainly help navigate our way

through the head winds in the global economy. These relationships mean we do not need to dump

wine onto the market unprofitably. We are very focused on having a much improved second six

months,” said Turnbull.

Mark Turnbull, CEO and Director
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Foley Wines Limited (FWL) I present its operating

and financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2023.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

The operating profit before revaluations and income tax (“operating earnings”) for the six

months was $1,261,000 compared with $5,599,000 for the previous financial year.

Profit for the period net of tax attributable for the shareholders was $1,673,000, down

60.2% compared with $4,208,000 the previous year.

A summary of market sales is set out below on page 7.

Without doubt, it has been a tough six months for the Company. However, we need to

put our performance into the context of broader industry performance. According to the

most recent export statistics for the six months ended 31 December 2023 released by New

Zealand Winegrowers, bottled wine exports were down 29%. USA was down 31%, United

Kingdom/EU down 21% and Australia down 48%.

In terms of New Zealand, total still wine sales were down 2.2%, where our brands grew

at 9%.

1


There are some key reasons why sales are down, many of which have been reported in

the media.

1. With the improvement in supply chains, global customers were able to reduce stock

levels in their warehouses resulting in fewer purchases than in the previous 12 months.

At the same time, as the global economy struggles many customers are reducing their

working capital.

2. Consumers have less money to spend on discretionary purchases – both purchasing
from retailers and dining out.

3. Some major customers were caught with significant over stocking of other wine brands,

which resulted in a very long period of discounting affecting our brands’ promotional

calendars.

At the same time, we are seeing significant volumes of bulk Sauvignon Blanc coming on

to the market at very low prices. This has resulted in some of our competitors dropping

prices, a practice that we were not prepared to adopt. Rather our focus is on additional

promotional support which is very targeted.

Notwithstanding these headwinds, we believe we have the routes to market that will enable

us to sell our brands profitability. We continue to secure strong new routes to market for

our premium portfolio.

VINEYARD REDEVELOPMENT

As outlined in 2022, we have a strategy to improve vineyard performance by replacing

under performing vines and/or varietals with new vines. This is particularly important

in Central Otago which will enable us in the future to have much greater supply chain

security and means we will have the option to move away from leasing vineyards. The

costs associated with removing the vines and the losses recorded in writing off the old

vines was $563,000.

THE RUNHOLDER AND TOAST MARTINBOROUGH

The Runholder, opened in August 2023, is the new brand home of Te Kairanga,

Martinborough Vineyard and Lighthouse Gin in Martinborough. It is quickly establishing

itself as an iconic destination in the region with strong visitor reviews and positive media

coverage of both the venue and brands. Further bolstering the premium experiences the

Company is able to offer in the region, Foley Wines Ltd has recently acquired the long-

running wine and food festival Toast Martinborough. The Company is committed to

ensuring this iconic festival remains relevant for years to come.

CASH FLOW
Operating cash flow was $2,955,000 for the six months, down from $6,978,000 the

previous year. Payments to suppliers was a major influence along with higher interest

payments, which is a function of interest rate increases and an increase in borrowings

with the vineyard purchase in Central Otago last year.

Capital expenditure was $2,900,000 for the six months, compared with $4,526,000 and

$2,608,000 the previous two years. The major influence on the increase in the prior year

was the development at Te Kairanga which was completed in July 2023.

No dividend was paid during the six months, compared with $2,629,000 the previous year.

2024 HARVEST

The early indication is that there will be a lower yield from the 2024 harvest. However, the

preliminary view is that we are in for a vintage of exceptionally high quality on the basis

that we do not have any major weather events. Having a high quality vintage is paramount

when you are focussed on producing world class wines.

OUTLOOK

As outlined previously, we have established some strong global partnerships that will

certainly help navigate our way through the head winds in the global economy. We are

very focused on having a much improved second six months.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings per share ($) 2.55 9.65 6.40

The calculation is based on NZIFRS earnings of the Group of $1,673,000 (30Jun23 $6,342,000; 31Dec22 $4,208,000)

and the weighted average of 65,736,148 ordinary shares on issue during the period (30Jun23 65,736,148; 31Dec22

6 5, 736 ,14 8).

Diluted Earnings per share ($) 2.55 9.31 6.07

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on profit of $1,930,000 (30Jun23 $6,852,000; 31Dec22 $4,465,000),

being profit for the year adjusted for the interest on the convertible notes after income tax, and the weighted average of

73,599,173 ordinary shares on issue during the year (30Jun23 73,599,173; 31Dec22 73,599,173) becomes anti-dilutive

and therefore the diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.

The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share reconciles to the weighted

average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:
