Global Production

Australia and EU

monthly production

increased. New Zealand

and US monthly

production decreased

New Zealand milk

production was down

4.1% on a litres basis (down

2.6% on milk solids basis) for

April compared to the same

period the year prior.

The decrease was due

to unfavourable weather

conditions affecting pasture

growth alongside farmers

drying off in preparation for

next season.

New Zealand milk

production for the

12 months to April was

down 0.2% on the previous

comparable period.

Fonterra New Zealand

collections are reported for

April, see page 5 for details.

Australia milk

production increased 2.8%

in March compared to the

same period the year prior.

The increase was due

to favourable weather

conditions and ongoing

availability of irrigation water.

Australia milk production

for the 12 months to March

was up 2.5% on the previous

comparable period.

Fonterra collections in

Australia are reported for

April, see page 5 for details.

EU milk production¹

increased 0.6% in March

compared to the same

period the year prior.

The increase was driven

by growth in Germany

and France, offsetting

declines in key producing

nations such as Ireland,

the United Kingdom, and

the Netherlands.

EU milk production for the

12 months to March was

up 0.1% on the previous

comparable period.

US milk production

decreased 0.4 % in April

compared to the same period

the year prior.

The decrease was mainly

driven by a reduction in

herd sizes, and the ongoing

outbreak of Highly Pathogenic

Avian Influenza (HPAI)

in Texas.

US milk production for

the 12 months to April was

down 0.3 % on the previous

comparable period.

Global Exports

Australia monthly exports

increased. New Zealand,

EU and US monthly

exports decreased

Total New Zealand

dairy exports decreased

10.8%, or 35,203 MT, in

April compared to the same

period the year prior.

The decrease was mainly

due to lower export volumes

of WMP to China, Algeria,

and Indonesia. This was

partially offset by higher

export volumes of fluid

milk products.

Exports for the 12 months

to April were up 6.1%, or

205,893 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

This was mainly due to

higher overall export

volumes of WMP, SMP and

fluid milk products.

EU dairy exports

decreased 12.8%, or

76,732 MT, in March

compared to the same

period the year prior.

The decrease was driven by

lower export volumes of fluid

milk products, cheese and

SMP to China and Egypt due

to competitive pricing from

other regions.

Exports for the 12 months to

March were down 2.0%, or

130,310 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

This was due to ongoing

lower export volumes of

infant formula to China,

alongside shifts in processing

decisions towards other dairy

products amidst changing

market demands.

US dairy exports

decreased 3.6%, or 9,166 MT,

in March compared to the

same period the year prior.

The decrease was mainly

due to lower export volumes

of SMP. This was partially

offset by ongoing high

export volumes of cheese,

with increased shipments

to Mexico, Canada, and

East Asia.

Exports for the 12 months to

March were down 7.0%, or

203,126 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

This was mainly due to lower

export volumes of powders

as demand from key markets

subdued, alongside lower

export volumes of butter due

to higher prices relative to

the rest of the world when

sales were booked.

Australia dairy exports

increased 13.8%, or 8,538 MT,

in March compared to the

same period the year prior.

The increase in exports

was mainly due to higher

export volumes of cheese,

SMP and butter as rising

milk flows have increased

the availability of product

for export.

Exports for the 12 months to

March were down 13.0%, or

96,684 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

This was mainly due to

the disconnect between

Australia’s domestic milk

price and global commodity

price, making Australian

exports less competitive.

increased. Latin America,

and China monthly

imports decreased

Latin America dairy

import volumes¹

decreased 9.7%, or 21,189 MT,

in March compared to the

same period the year prior.

The decrease was mainly due

to lower import volumes of

SMP. This was partially offset

by higher import volumes of

cheese by Mexico.

Imports for the 12 months

to March were up 7.1%, or

165,812 MT, on the previous

by Mexico and Brazil.

Asia (excluding China)

dairy import volumes¹

decreased 4.2%, or 19,668 MT,

in March compared to the

same period the year prior.

The decrease was mainly due

to lower import volumes of

whey powder by Southeast

by higher import volumes

of fluid milk products by

the Philippines.

Imports for the 12 months

to March were up 0.1%, or

4,420 MT, on the previous

Southeast Asia.

Middle East and

Africa dairy import

volumes¹ increased 8.3%,

or 38,082 MT, in March

compared to the same

Saudi Arabia, and WMP to

Algeria and the UAE.

Imports for the 12 months

to March were up 4.9%, or

266,811 MT, on the previous

was partially offset by lower

volume of fluid milk products

to Libya.

China dairy import

volumes decreased by

10.9%, or 29,591 MT, in April

compared to the same

period the year prior.

The decrease was driven

by lower import volumes

of infant formula, fluid milk

products, and SMP.

Imports for the 12 months

to April were down 7.7%, or

246,822 MT, on the previous

comparable period.

This was mainly due to the

ongoing decline in import

demand of infant formula as

Our Performance

Fonterra announces

step-change in

strategic direction

Fonterra Co-operative Group

Ltd announced a step-change

in its strategic direction, as

it commits to deepening its

position as a world-leading

provider of high-value,

innovative dairy ingredients.

As part of this, the Co-op has

announced it is exploring full

or partial divestment options

for some or all of its global

Consumer business, as well

as its integrated businesses

Fonterra Oceania and

Fonterra Sri Lanka.

Chairman Peter McBride

says this is a significant move

for the Co-op which will set

it up to grow long-term value

for farmer shareholders and

unit holders.

“We have conducted a

strategic review which

has reinforced the role of

our core business. This is

working alongside farmers

to collect a sustainable

supply of milk and efficiently

manufacture products

valued by customers, to

deliver strong returns to

farmer shareholders and unit

holders,” says Mr McBride.

CEO Miles Hurrell says the

review has also given the

Co-op confidence in the role

it plays in the dairy nutrition

value chain, with one of its

greatest strengths being the

production of world-class,

innovative ingredients

for customers to take

to consumers.

“We believe we can grow

further value for the Co-op

by focusing on being a B2B

dairy nutrition provider,

working closely with

customers through our high-

performing Ingredients and

Foodservice channels.

“This will be enabled

by strong relationships

with farmers, a flexible

manufacturing and supply

chain footprint, deeper

partnerships with strategic

ingredients customers,

further investment in

our Foodservice channel,

continued delivery on our

sustainability commitments

and investment

in innovation.

“In this context, we are

exploring divestment

options for our global

Consumer business as well

as our integrated businesses

Fonterra Oceania and

Fonterra Sri Lanka,” says

Mr Hurrell.

Fonterra’s global Consumer

business has grown over

the years since Fonterra was

formed and is performing

well. It includes a portfolio of

market leading brands such

as Anchor, Mainland, Kapiti,

Anlene, Anmum, Fernleaf,

Western Star, Perfect Italiano

and others.

Fonterra Oceania is a

fully integrated business,

recently created through

merging Fonterra Brands

New Zealand and Fonterra

Australia. It comprises

Consumer, Foodservice

and Ingredients businesses.

Fonterra Sri Lanka

comprises Consumer and

Foodservice businesses.

Collectively, the businesses

in scope for potential

divestment utilised

approximately 15% of

the Co-op’s total milk

solids and represented

approximately 19% of

Fonterra’s group operating

earnings in the first half of

FY24, with our Consumer

businesses delivering strong

underlying earnings.

“A divestment of these assets

would help create a simpler,

higher performing Co-op

with our focus on our core

Ingredients and Foodservice

business and doing what we

do best,” says Mr Hurrell.

“While these are great

businesses with recent

strengthening in

performance and potential

for more, ownership of these

businesses is not required to

fulfil Fonterra’s core function

of collecting, processing

and selling milk. Due to

our co-operative structure,

we believe prioritising our

Ingredients and Foodservice

channels and releasing

capital in our Consumer and

associated businesses would

generate more value.

“At the same time, we

8
Our Performance

believe Fonterra is not the

highest-value owner of the

Consumer and associated

businesses in the longer

term and a divestment could

allow a new owner with the

right expertise and resources

to unlock their full potential.

“This presents a great

opportunity for these brands

and businesses. While I

recognise there’s a strong

connection to brands such

as Anchor, a new owner

could help these businesses

to flourish.

“We have also received

unsolicited interest in parts

of these businesses, making

now a good time to consider

their ownership,” says

Mr Hurrell.

As a next step, Fonterra will

appoint advisors to assist

with assessing divestment

options. “We recognise a

divestment of this scale

would be significant for

Fonterra. Throughout

this process we will be

considering how best to

maximise overall returns to

our farmer shareholders and

unit holders.

“The choices we make when

considering divestment

options will be driven by a

clear-eyed view of the best

value creating pathway for

the Co-op, both in terms

of the potential proceeds

from a sale and the ability

for Fonterra to generate

consistent economic returns

over the long-term.

“Any decisions about use of

net proceeds from a sale will

be guided by our Resource

Allocation Framework, which

allocates funds to debt

repayment, investment to

support our strategy and

distributions to shareholders

and unit holders.

“We expect a divestment

process to take at least 12 to

18 months. If we were to

proceed with a divestment

of this size we would seek

shareholder support,” says

Mr Hurrell.

In 2021, Fonterra released

its long-term strategy Our

Path to 2030 which included

financial targets out to

2030. These targets were

based on a strategy which

included the businesses

that are now in scope for

potential divestment and,

in these circumstances,

it is appropriate for

Fonterra to withdraw these

financial targets.

It is also appropriate for

Fonterra to terminate its

on-market share buyback

programme, which was

expected to run until

13 August 2024.

“At all times, we remain

committed to maximising

returns through the

Farmgate Milk Price and

dividends, and achieving a

strong return on capital that

is greater than farmers’ cost

of capital.

“Fonterra will continue to

provide updates on our

forecast Farmgate Milk

Price and earnings guidance

as part of our quarterly

reporting process or as

required. Our FY24 forecast

earnings are not impacted by

this announcement.

The Co-op’s sustainability

targets and associated

investment plans remain

unchanged. Fonterra also

remains committed to

improving cost efficiency

across the Co-op and

will continue to report

progress against efficiency

measures annually.

“Through our work to

date, Fonterra has strong

foundations which puts us

in the position to consider

where we will next invest for

long-term growth.

“We intend to provide

a further update on our

revised long-term strategy

in due course. This will

include further detail on our

plans to grow the long-term

value of Fonterra and the

measures through which we

will track our progress,” says

Mr Hurrell.

Fonterra crowned

#1 cheesemaker in

New Zealand

Fonterra showcased its

mastery in cheesemaking

at the 2024 New Zealand

Champions of Cheese

Awards, held in Hamilton

on Thursday, May 2. The

event crowned Fonterra as

the leading cheesemaker in

Aotearoa New Zealand.

Fonterra secured nine

out of the 26 trophies

presented, representing

nearly one-third of all awards

distributed. Among the

awards was the Woolworths

Champion of Champions

title for NZMP Epicure and

the MilkTestNZ Champion

Cheesemaker award, claimed

by Cathy Lang. This follows

Fonterra's recent success at

the New Zealand Cheese

Awards, where the company

amassed a total of 52 medals.

A standout of the evening

was the victory of NZMP's

Epicure Cheddar which was

crowned the Champion

of Champions. This aged

cheddar, with its rich flavor

profile, highlights Fonterra's

commitment to crafting only

the finest quality cheese.

The Champion of Champions

title for Epicure Cheddar

acknowledges the attention

to detail and commitment to

quality upheld by the team at

Fonterra's Lichfield Cheese

Plant. "This award recognises

the entire team involved in

the end-to-end process from

milk reception to packing

and distribution at Fonterra’s

Lichfield Plant,” said Dan

Packwood, Process Project

Manager at Lichfield Cheese.

Cathy Lang, Principal

Technologist – Specialty

Cheese at Fonterra, is an

esteemed cheesemaker with

over 18 years of experience.

Lang was awarded Champion

Cheesemaker title for the

second time in three years.

The award is the result

of her exceptional skill,

creativity, and dedication

to the art of cheesemaking.

To win this title, Lang

submitted three FBNZ Kapiti

specialty cheeses that she

had developed.

"Winning the Champion

Cheesemaker title is not just

a personal milestone but a

recognition of the collective

passion and hard work of

our entire team," said Lang.

"It's about the art of crafting

cheese that resonates

with both the judges and

cheese lovers alike. I look

forward to continuing

to push the boundaries

of cheesemaking."

Fonterra's Mainland Special

Reserve Chilli & Garlic Brie,

introduced to stores in late

2023, won two trophies,

including the Champion New

Cheese award. Fonterra’s

innovation excellence also

extends to its win for the

Anchor Traditional Cream

Cheese, featuring the

recently launched Gen 2

version of the product.

Louise Paulsen, Technical

Engagement Manager, said

"This is a significant win for

us and acknowledges our

leadership in this category."

From the indulgence of

Kapiti Kikorangi Triple

Cream Blue to the Anchor

Traditional Cream Cheese,

Fonterra's diverse cheese

offerings captivated the

judges. These awards are

a testament to Fonterra's

commitment to quality

and innovation in the art

of cheesemaking.
