UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2024

Napier Port delivers strong earnings recovery with first half result

Napier Port (NZX.NPH), the freight gateway for the central and lower North Island, today reports robust

earnings growth for the six months to the end of March 2024 linked to the recovery of volumes,

particularly log exports and cruise, growth in revenue yields, together with focused cost management

and efficiencies from the investments made in infrastructure.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue rose 10.1% to $70.6 million from $64.1 million in the same period last year and was

led by significant growth in export log and cruise revenue

• Result from operating activities

1

increased 25.1% to $27.4 million from $21.9 million in the same

period last year

• Underlying net profit after tax

2

increased 48.3% to $11.1 million from $7.5 million in the same

period a year ago

• Reported net profit after tax increased 64.8% to $14.3 million from $8.7 million in the same

period last year

• Post-Cyclone Gabrielle business interruption insurance claim contributes $7.2 million to

reported net profit

• Container volumes decreased 17.3% on continued post-Cyclone Gabrielle effects and weaker

economic activity

• Directors declare a fully imputed interim dividend of 3.0 cents per share, increased from the

interim dividend in the prior year of 1.7 cents per share

• Expected underlying result from operating activities for the year to 30 September 2024 of

between $50 million and $53 million


Chair, Blair O’Keeffe said: “The 2024 financial year has started well for Napier Port and many of our

region’s cargo owners. While regional recovery is ongoing following Cyclone Gabrielle, trade by key

customers and cargoes have begun to return towards former levels. Napier Port has provided

operational capacity and flexibility during this traditionally busy harvest period, while retaining cost and

capital discipline. In doing so, the management team has delivered a good half year result.”

Chief Executive, Todd Dawson said: “The half year result demonstrates Napier Port’s capability to be

adaptable and underscores the benefit of having a diverse and resilient cargo base, with log export and

cruise earnings up, against reduced container and general import volumes.

“The recovery of trade volumes together with effective cost control and yield management, is working

well for us alongside the investments in infrastructure we have made and additional customer services

we are providing. We are demonstrating the positive operating leverage that is supporting this positive

half year result for Napier Port.

“Despite softer market demand in China, log volumes were strong during the half year with good

momentum sustained from our immediate catchment areas and additional contributions coming from

Pan Pac and central North Island windthrown forests.

“Container volumes reduced during the period, as a result of Cyclone Gabrielle’s impact on Pan Pac’s

production facilities and lower overall economic activity, however during the second quarter we

welcomed a bounce back in refrigerated exports of horticulture, meat and other chilled produce as

growing conditions across the spring and summer have been favourable.

A record number of cruise vessel visits and passenger numbers visited Napier Port, due to the

resurgence of cruise post-pandemic. The addition of Te Whiti Wharf has enabled greater berth

availability including the capability to accommodate several cruise vessels simultaneously, alongside

container and bulk cargo ships.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the half year rose 10.1% to $70.6 million from $64.1 million in the same period last year.

Container services revenue for the half year decreased 7.8% to $33.6 million from $36.4 million

following a 17.3% decrease in container volumes to 98,000 TEU

3

, which was partially offset by a 11.5%

increase in average revenue per TEU.

Bulk cargo revenue for the half year increased 27.1% to $26.2 million from $20.6 million as export log

volume increased 35.7% to 1.55 million tonnes and total bulk cargo volume increased 21.6% to 1.88

million tonnes.

Cruise revenue for the first half increased 74.3% to $8.9 million from $5.1 million. There were 88 cruise

vessel calls in the half year, compared to 62 in the prior year.

As a result of disciplined cost management operating expenses were contained to an increase of 2.2%

on the same period last year. The increase resulted from higher insurance and transport costs.

Positive operating leverage was evident from the volume return in bulk and cruise, together with cost

management, with the result from operating activities increasing 25.1% for the half year to $27.4 million

from $21.9 million reported for the first half of the last financial year.

Underlying net profit after tax increased 48.3% to $11.1 million from $7.5 million in the same period last

year. Reported net profit after tax was $14.3 million, a 64.8% increase on the prior year’s $8.7 million,

which included a $7.2 million contribution from the Cyclone Gabrielle business interruption insurance

claim and $2.0 million of additional deferred tax expense arising from the removal of tax depreciation

on commercial buildings.

OUTLOOK AND DIVIDEND

Mr Dawson said: “It is pleasing to deliver a solid half year result for our region and for our shareholders.

I acknowledge the efforts by the whole Napier Port team in achieving this, with less resourcing than we

would normally deploy during the first half year.

“During the second half of the year, we anticipate Central North Island windthrow volumes will reduce

as cyclone-damaged logs diminish and unprocessed logs from Pan Pac will also reduce as they are

redirected to pulp manufacturing operations. Correspondingly, as pulp production increases during this

calendar year, wood pulp and timber container volumes should return to historical levels towards the

end of this calendar year.

“With the 2024 cruise season now complete we currently have 90 forward bookings for the upcoming

2025 season commencing in October.

“While we expect ongoing inflationary cost pressures, uncertain economic activity, and export log

market conditions to remain challenging, we look forward to the continuing ramp up of cargo volumes

post Cyclone Gabrielle and continued earnings growth momentum.” Mr Dawson said.

Napier Port expects an underlying result from operating activities for the year to the end of September

2024 of between $50 million and $53 million, assuming a continuation of current operating conditions

and excluding insurance claim income.

The Board has resolved to pay a fully imputed interim dividend of 3.0 cents per share, which is increased

from the 1.7 cents per share paid at the same time last year. The record date for the interim dividend

entitlement is 14 June and the payment date will be 27 June.

We expect to provide a further update to the market regarding our June quarter trading results during

August.

Chair and Chief Executive’s Report
We are pleased to report robust earnings growth for the six months to

the end of March 2024 linked to the recovery of volumes, particularly log

exports and cruise, growth in revenue yields, together with focused cost

management and efficiencies from the investments made in infrastructure.

Trading Overview

The 2024 financial year has started well

for Napier Port and many of our region’s

cargo owners. While regional recovery is

ongoing following Cyclone Gabrielle, trade

by key customers and cargoes have begun

to return towards former levels. Napier

Port has provided operational capacity

and flexibility during this traditionally

busy harvest period, while retaining cost

and capital discipline. In doing so, the

management team has delivered a good

half year result.

The half year result demonstrates Napier

Port’s capability to be adaptable and

underscores the benefit of having a diverse

and resilient cargo base, with log export

and cruise earnings up, against reduced

container and general import volumes.

The recovery of trade volumes together

with effective cost control and yield

management, is working well for us

alongside the investments in infrastructure

we have made and additional customer

services we are providing. We are

demonstrating the positive operating

leverage that is supporting this positive

half year result for Napier Port.

Despite softer market demand in China,

log volumes were strong during the half

year with good momentum sustained from

our immediate catchment areas and

additional contributions coming from Pan

Pac and central North Island windthrown

forests.

Container volumes were reduced

during the period, as a result of Cyclone

Gabrielle’s impact on Pan Pac’s

production facilities and lower economic

activity, however during the second

quarter we welcomed a bounce back in

refrigerated exports of horticulture, meat

and other chilled produce as growing

conditions across the spring and summer

were favourable.

Cruise vessel visits and passenger

numbers are a record high, due to the

resurgence of cruise post-pandemic

and Te Whiti Wharf enabling greater

berth availability including the capability

to accommodate several cruise vessels

simultaneously, alongside container and

bulk cargo ships.

As volumes recovered and we became

busier operationally, we remained vigilant

in our commitment to on-site safety.

Assurance activities as part of our critical

risk control management programme

continued, and these will be ongoing

during the second half of the year.

Financial Results

Revenue for the half year rose

10.1% to $70.6 million from $64.1

million in the same period last year.

Container services revenue for the

half year decreased 7.8% to $33.6

million from $36.4 million following

a 17.3% decrease in container

volumes to 98,000 TEU, which was

partially offset by a 11.5% increase

in average revenue per TEU.

Bulk cargo revenue for the half year

increased 27.1% to $26.2 million

from $20.6 million as export log

volume increased 35.7% to 1.55

million tonnes and total bulk cargo

volume increased 21.6% to 1.88

million tonnes.

Cruise revenue for the first half

increased 74.3% to $8.9 million

from $5.1 million. There were 88

cruise vessel calls in the half year,

compared to 62 in the prior year.

As a result of continued focused

cost management, operating

expenses increased 2.2% on the

same period last year. The increase

resulted from higher insurance and

transport costs.

Positive operating leverage was

evident from the volume return

in bulk and cruise, together with

focused cost management, as the

result from operating activities for

the half year increased 25.1% to

$27.4 million from $21.9 million

reported for the first half of the last

financial year.

Underlying net profit after tax

increased 48.3% to $11.1 million

from $7.5 million in the same period

last year. Reported net profit after

tax was $14.3 million, a 64.8%

increase on the prior year’s $8.7

million, and which included a $7.2

million contribution from the Cyclone

Gabrielle business interruption

insurance claim and $2.0 million

of additional deferred tax expense

arising from the removal of tax

depreciation on commercial buildings.

Outlook and Dividend
It is pleasing to deliver a solid half year result for our

region and for our shareholders. We acknowledge the

efforts by the whole Napier Port team in achieving

this, with less resourcing than we would normally

deploy during the first half year.

During the second half of the year, we anticipate

Central North Island windthrow volumes will

reduce as cyclone-damaged logs diminish and

unprocessed logs from Pan Pac will also reduce as

they are redirected to pulp manufacturing operations.

Correspondingly, as pulp production increases during

this calendar year, wood pulp and timber container

volumes should return to historical levels towards the

end of this calendar year.

With the 2024 cruise season now complete we

currently have 90 forward bookings for the upcoming

2025 season commencing in October.

While we expect ongoing inflationary cost pressures,

uncertain economic activity, and export log market

conditions to remain challenging we look forward to

the continuing ramp up of cargo volumes post Cyclone

Gabrielle and continued earnings growth momentum.

Napier Port expects an underlying result from operating

activities for the year to the end of September 2024

of between $50 million and $53 million, assuming

a continuation of current operating conditions and

excluding insurance claim income.

The Board has resolved to pay a fully imputed interim

dividend of 3.0 cents per share, which is increased from

the 1.7 cents per share paid at the same time last year.

The record date for the interim dividend entitlement is

14 June and the payment date will be 27 June.

and configuring space to meet
customer demand coming through the

gates. Our ‘whole of port’ approach

drives efficiency and flexibility in our

operations. Good planning and regular

communication between our teams,

customers and shipping lines has been

a key focus to manage this busy period

safely and successfully.

Te Whiti Wharf continues to ease

congestion and provide expanded

port capacity, enabling our trade and

regional growth. With more vessels

calling Napier Port this half year

compared to the previous year, it is

providing berth availability, reducing

time vessels are spending at anchor,

and importantly reducing ship moves

inside the port’s harbour.

Responding Dynamically

to Meet Demand

Our ‘whole of port’ approach

drives efficiency and flexibility

in our operations.”

Strong log volumes, good growing

conditions, new cargoes, and a steady

stream of cruise vessels, led to a

significant ramp up in port activity

during the half year.

Compared to the previous three years

when pandemic and then cyclone

impacts softened volumes, the

recovery of cargo has required us to

adjust to a full port, busy with shipping

and diverse trades all needing port

space, wharves, equipment, and

people resource.

A degree of pressure was expected,

as post-cyclone we focused on

remedial activities and deferred spend,

mothballed older plant and equipment,

and maintained a recruitment freeze

replacing only essential roles.

Given these constraints, our teams

have focused on redeploying assets

and resources to where it is required

Half Year Report For the six months ended 31 March 2024 p8

Shipping Services and
Supply Chain Growth

Napier Port’s shipping services were not

significantly impacted by geopolitical

factors or delays at Australian ports during

the period. Favourable weather conditions

and good operational planning despite

constrained resource, enabled Napier Port

to largely maintain schedule reliability and

meet berthing windows for shipping line

and cargo customers. A weather event

in the final days of the half year required

us to implement temporary restrictions,

which were eased within the four weeks

following. We know the responsiveness

Transhipment volumes linked to this service

have been steadily increasing since it began

calling.

Interest in Napier Port’s services to shipping

lines continues to grow. An additional

shipping line has started using Manawatu

Inland Port as a ‘point of acceptance’ (PoA)

for containers and we are subsequently

seeing a rise in volume as a result. We have

also secured an additional shipping line

customer utilising Napier Port’s container

depot service, due to our ability to offer

flexibility at short notice.

and customer focus of our teams is highly

valued by customers and we work hard to

accommodate their needs.

A new weekly Trans-Tasman shipping

service commenced calling at Napier

Port, replacing a temporary fortnightly

service. The ANL TTZ, is providing

importers and exporters direct access

to Australian markets. It also generates

further opportunities for us, handling

cargo from other New Zealand ports that

tranship at Napier Port onto other mainline

services offered by ANL & CMA-CGM.

During the half year we saw a steady

increase in freight volumes moving across

Viewpoint Supply Chain’s road, rail and

warehousing services. In particular, the

volume of cargo moving on KiwiRail’s

East-West rail line has steadily increased,

since the section of line through to Napier

Port was restored in September 2023,

following Cyclone Gabrielle. This is due to

the combination of a high level of customer

service and business development efforts.

...In particular, the volume of cargo

moving on KiwiRail’s East-West rail line

has steadily increased, since the section

of line through to Napier Port was

restored in September 2023, following

Cyclone Gabrielle.

Half Year Report For the six months ended 31 March 2024 p9

Viewpoint is the biggest user of the
Napier to Palmerston North rail line and

has one of the highest train utilisation

factors across KiwiRail’s network. By

matching imports and exports to move

full wagons both ways, waste, costs,

and emissions are lowered, compared

to moving empty or partially full wagons.

This moves freight more efficiently and

sustainably around the North Island.

Since officially launching in September

2023, Viewpoint’s regional roadshows in

Palmerston North, Whanganui and Napier

have been well attended by businesses

in each region, and we have seen steady

and consistent growth of Viewpoint’s rail

services. The roadshows are a great way

for Viewpoint to connect with importers

and exporters as well as other businesses

and organisations that are connected to

the industry, in the central and lower North

Island.

We welcomed several vessels this half

year on their maiden voyage to Napier

Port and New Zealand. At 225 metres

long and 40 metres wide, newly built

container vessel CMA CGM Fiordland

berthed to discharge imports and collect

our region’s high quality export produce,

including onions, apples, and squash. Her

last New Zealand port call after Napier is

Tauranga, then directly on to Hong Kong

and China with customers’ high value

primary sector commodities on board.

The cruise season was Napier Port’s

busiest to date, welcoming 89 cruise

vessels and 140,000 passengers to

Hawke’s Bay (88 vessel calls were

within the half year period). Two special

milestones were also reached. The Silver

Muse was the 1,000th cruise vessel to

call at Napier Port since records began

30 years ago. We also celebrated the

100,000th cruise passenger of the

season, a tourist from the United States

who was passenger number 342 to

disembark off the cruise vessel, Regatta.

Audited emissions data is published

annually in our Climate Change

Related Disclosure Report and

Annual Report (these can be

found at: napierport.co.nz/

investor-centre). Our unaudited

half year emissions compared to the

corresponding period in the previous

year have reduced 16.1%. The main

drivers of this were less fuel usage on

reduced container volumes (reducing

Scope 1), a reduction to the emission

factors for electricity (reducing Scope

2) and small movements across

a wide range of categories within

Scope 3.

On a relative metric basis, emissions

per cargo tonne decreased by

24.2% as gross emissions reduced

Since May 2020, Napier Port has

undertaken monthly fishing surveys

around our offshore disposal area

consented as part of the Te Whiti

Wharf development. Cyclone

Gabrielle caused a large amount of

silt and debris to enter the marine

environment, causing significant

reductions in CPUE (catch per unit of

effort) across all species measured.

From September 2023 our monthly

surveys began to show monitored

stocks bouncing back. In 2024, this

trend has continued, and fish stocks

have now recovered back to pre-

cyclone levels. Similar dive surveys

conducted on Pania Reef have also

positively indicated the reef has

recovered from the cyclone’s impacts.

The sustainability requirements of

this year's Employee Recognition

Scheme focuses on the ‘Partnerships’

pillar of our sustainability strategy,

looking outward to our engagement

and relationships with our community.

Every team has identified a

Half Year Report For the six months ended 31 March 2024 p18

1. Reporting Entity
The interim financial statements presented

are those of Napier Port Holdings Limited and

its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’). Napier

Port Holdings Limited is incorporated under

the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled in New

Zealand. Napier Port Holdings Limited’s shares

are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock

Exchange (NZX) and has bonds quoted on the

NZX Debt Market (NZDX).

2. Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in

accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013.

Statement of Compliance

The interim financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand

equivalents to International Accounting Standard

34, Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34), and

International Accounting Standard 34, Interim

Financial Reporting. The Group is a for-profit entity

for NZ GAAP purposes. These interim financial

statements do not include all the information

normally included in an annual financial report.

Accordingly, these should be read in conjunction

with the Group’s annual financial statements for

the year ended 30 September 2023.

Basis of Measurement

The interim financial statements have been

prepared on a historical cost basis, except for sea

defences, investment properties and derivative

financial instruments, which are measured at fair

value. They are presented in New Zealand Dollars

(NZD) and all values are rounded to the nearest

thousand dollars ($’000), unless otherwise stated.

Napier Port Holdings Limited

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

For the six months ended 31 March 2024

Reclassification of costs

Certain costs incurred by the Group have

been reclassified in the prior period to provide

comparable information to the current period. As

a result, container services revenue and other

operating expenses have both increased by $1.9

million for the six months ended 31 March 2023.

There is no change to the reported result from

operating activities for that period.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent

with those followed in the preparation of the

Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements for

the year ended 30 September 2023.

4. Uncertainties, Estimates and

Judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in

conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires management

to make judgements, estimates and assumptions

that affect the application of accounting policies

and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

income and expenses. Actual results may differ

from these estimates.

Cyclone Gabrielle and insurance matters

During February 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle struck

New Zealand causing widespread damage

and disruption to the Hawke’s Bay region and

its infrastructure. Whilst Napier Port did not

experience significant property damage, many

cargo customers of the Group have experienced

damage and reduced output, which impacts the

Group’s trading. The economic consequences of

this event is continuing to negatively impact the

Group’s trading results.

The Group had an insurance policy in place at

the time of the cyclone that its lead insurer has

confirmed, in principle, will respond to the material

damage and business interruption losses of the

Group arising from Cyclone Gabrielle, subject to

the terms and limitations of the insurance policy.

The Group submits claims to its insurers as

and when it determines its recoverable losses.

Under the Group’s insurance policy, the relevant

business interruption indemnity period is 18

months following the loss event. The Group’s

claims are subject to review and adjustment by the

Group’s insurers.

The Group’s accounting policy is to recognise

insurance recovery income when it is virtually

certain insurance proceeds will be received and

the amount receivable can be reliably estimated.

In relation to the Group’s progress insurance

claims for business interruption losses sustained

since the cyclone event, for the six months

ended 31 March 2024 the Group has recognised

total insurance recovery income of $7,243,000

(31 March 2023: nil) within Other Income and

Expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement.

As at 31 March 2024, $8,243,000 (31 March

2023: nil) was receivable and recorded within the

Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Subsequent to the balance date, $6,750,000 of

the receivable balance has been received by the

Group.

Valuation of sea defences

Sea defences were revalued to fair value as at 31

March 2024 by AECOM New Zealand Ltd. The

valuation has been prepared on an optimised

depreciated replacement cost basis and in

accordance with the NZ Infrastructure Asset

Valuation and Depreciation Guidelines published

by the NAMS group of IPWEA. The revaluation

has increased the carrying amount of sea

defences by $17.7 million, resulting in a net book

value for sea defences of $157.4 million as at 31

March 2024.

The valuation of sea defences is subject to

assumptions and judgements which materially

affect the resulting valuation. Such factors include

replacement quantities and unit values (including

breakwater replacement costs of $104,000

to $166,000 per square metre and seawall

replacement costs (per square metre) of $18,000

for demolition, $30,000 for rock, and $81,000

for rock revetment). Other factors include the

condition and performance of assets, estimated

total and remaining effective lives of 70 to 131

years and 70 to 93 years, respectively, and

estimated residual values of 20% of replacement

cost. Other inputs incorporated into the valuation

process include an allowance for project on-costs

of 5-6%. An increase in the remaining useful life,

the residual value assumption, or in replacement

quantities and unit values for sea defence assets

will result in an increase in the valuation and vice

versa.

Accounting Policies:

Port Operations

Port operations represents a series of

services including marine, berthage and

port infrastructure services to the Group’s

customers which are accounted for as a

single performance obligation. Revenue is

recognised over-time using the percentage of

completion method.

Revenue is measured based on the service

price specified in the relevant tariffs or

specific customer contract. The contract price

for the services performed reflects the value

transferred to the customer.

Property Operations

Property lease income is recognised on a

straight-line basis over the period of the lease

term.

Operating Segments

The Group determines its operating segments

based on internal information that is regularly

reported to the Chief Executive, who is the

Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment

being Port Services. This consists of providing

and managing port services and cargo handling

infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the

Port Services reportable segment the following

operating segments have been identified: marine

services, general cargo services, container

services, port pack services and depot services.

These have been aggregated on the basis of

similarities in economic characteristics, customers,

nature of services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that

being New Zealand. During the period the Group

had two customers which comprised 25% total

revenue (March 2023: 25%).

substantially enacted which removed tax depreciation on commercial buildings that have an estimated useful

life of 50 years or more from 2024. This change resulted in an increase in deferred tax liability and income

tax expense of $2.02 million.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the shareholders of Napier Port Holdings Limited

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 (‘NZ SRE 2410

(Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further

described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for

the Review of the Interim Financial Statements

section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in

accordance with the independence

requirements of the Auditor-General’s

Auditing Standards, which incorporate the

independence requirements of Professional

and Ethical Standard 1 International Code

of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued

by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance

Standards Board.

In addition to the review and audit we have

carried out an engagement to provide

shareholder meeting vote counting agreed

upon procedures to the Group, which

are compatible with those independence

requirements. Other than the audit, review and

this engagement, 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

Group for the preparation and fair presentation

of these 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.

The Directors are also responsible for the

publication of the interim financial statements,

whether in printed or electronic form.

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 the interim financial statements in

accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a

limited assurance engagement. We perform

procedures, primarily 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 does 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 these interim

financial statements.

Stuart Mutch

Ernst & Young

On Behalf Of The Auditor-General

Wellington, New Zealand

21 May 2024

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier

Port Holdings Limited (“the Group”). The

Auditor-General has appointed me, Stuart

Mutch, using the staff and resources of Ernst

& Young, to carry out the review of the interim

financial statements of the Group on his behalf.

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial

statements of the Group on pages 13 to 22,

which comprise the consolidated statement of

financial position as at 31 March 2024, and the

consolidated income statement, consolidated

statement of comprehensive income,

consolidated statement of changes in equity

and the consolidated statement of cash flows

for the six months ended on that date, and

the notes, including a summary of significant

accounting policies and other explanatory

information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the

interim financial statements of the Group do

not present fairly, in all material respects, the

financial position of the Group as at 31 March

2024, and its financial performance and 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.

CONCLUSION AND OUTLOOK

Demonstrated diverse and resilient cargo base, operational

adaptability

Positive operating leverage evident from the volume return in

bulk and cruise, together with cost management

For 2H 2024, expecting reducing log export volume, subdued

economic activity, continuing inflation

FUNDAMENTALS STRONG: VOLUME RECOVERY UNDERWAY

Expect continuing ramp up of cargo volumes post Cyclone

Gabrielle, and continued earnings growth momentum

90 forward cruise bookings, less revenue, for the next 2025

season

International shipping remains challenged

Guidance for FY2024 underlying result from operating

activities of between $50m and $53m

1.1 Description of adjustments

In determining the use of adjustments, the Directors have considered only those items that they

believe are required to ensure consistency and comparability of the financial information over the

periods presented.

The adjustments that Napier Port considers appropriate are explained below:

(i) removal of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties as this relates to

non-core activity;

(ii) removal of expenses and business interruption insurance income attributable to the

extraordinary Cyclone Gabrielle event that occurred during February 2023;

Insurance income receivable for insured business interruption losses indemnifies the

Group for reduced operating profits following Cyclone Gabrielle. The recognition of

business interruption insurance income does not necessarily match the accounting period

of the reduced operating profits, as this income recognition is determined according to the

Group’s accounting policy for recognising insurance recovery income and is dependent

upon the timing of the lodgement of claims with insurers and the timing of their review

processes. The adjustment removes this timing effect and the potential variability in

income recognition; and

(iii) removal of the one-off deferred tax charge relating to the removal of tax depreciation on

commercial buildings.
