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

led by significant growth in export log and cruise revenue
• Result from operating activities

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

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
by more than total cargo tonnes

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
meaningful, tangible sustainability

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.
