UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS TO 30 JUNE 2024

Napier Port earnings recovery continues in the third

quarter

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

earnings growth for the nine months to the end of June 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS

3rd Quarter to 30 June 2024

• Revenue for the third quarter increased 27.9% to $36.5 million from $28.6 million in the same

period last year, following volume increases of 7.4% for bulk cargo and 29.6% for container

services

• The result from operating activities

1


increased 64.3% to $12.3 million from $7.5 million

• Underlying net profit after tax

2


increased 156.7% to $4.8 million from $1.9 million

9 Months to 30 June 2024

• Revenue for the nine months rose 15.5% to $107.1 million from $92.7 million in the same period

last year and was led by significant growth in export log and cruise revenue

• The result from operating activities increased 35.1% to $39.6 million from $29.3 million as

higher revenue was supported by effective cost management

• Underlying net profit after tax increased 70% to $15.9 million from $9.3 million

• Reported net profit after tax increased 48.2% to $19.1 million from $12.9 million

Earnings guidance

• Unchanged guidance for an underlying result from operating activities for the year to 30

September 2024 of between $50 million and $53 million, excluding insurance recoveries (of

which $7.2 million has been recognised during the financial year to date)


Chief Executive Todd Dawson said: “Today’s result reinforces the continuing recovery of regional trade

following Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023.

“Trade for the nine months has been driven by strong log exports, cruise vessel calls, and the bounce

back in containerised exports including fresh produce, apples, meat, and wood pulp and timber. As

anticipated, as cargo volumes return our strategies focused on yield management linked to investments

in infrastructure and customer services, and cost management are demonstrating strong operating

leverage and earnings growth.


1

Result from operating activities is an alternative non-NZ GAAP measure and represents core underlying operating earnings.

For further information please refer to Note 24 of the 2023 Annual Consolidated Financial Statements and the Supplemental

Selected Financial Information.

2

Underlying net profit after tax is an alternative non-NZ GAAP measure that comprises reported net profit after tax adjusted for

certain non-recurring, non-core and abnormal, and unrealised fair value revaluation items to provide consistency and

comparability of the financial information over the periods presented. For further information please refer to the Supplemental

Selected Financial Information.

“While the regional export-led trade recovery continues post cyclone, most regional businesses

continue to face a challenging economic environment. We note the current challenges across NZ’s

major manufacturing industries due to abnormally high energy costs. This has led to two of our largest

cargo customers, WPI and Pan Pac, to undertake temporary shutdowns of either all or part of their

timber and pulp processing facilities. During this period, we expect both companies will take the

opportunity to undertake repairs and maintenance and that we will continue to receive and pack timber

through our Port Pack operation, and to receive logs for export from Pan Pac.”


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Container services

Container services revenue for the quarter of $24.3 million increased 33.4% from $18.2 million in the

same period last year. For the nine months, container services revenue increased by 6% to $57.9 million

from $54.6 million as higher revenue per TEU

3

offset lower container volumes.

Average revenue per TEU for the nine months increased 8.5% to $339 from $313 in the same period

last year. This was driven by container mix, tariff increases, cost recoveries and increased utilisation of

other container services, partially offset by lower Port Pack volumes.

Container volumes for the quarter increased 29.6% to 72,000 TEU as a result of the continuing regional

recovery following the product losses caused by Cyclone Gabrielle in the prior year comparative period.

For the nine months, container volumes decreased 2.3% to 171,000 TEU from 175,000 TEU in the

same period last year.

Bulk cargo

Bulk cargo revenue for the quarter increased 18.9% to $11.1 million from $9.4 million in the same period

last year, as bulk volumes increased 7.4% from 0.7 million tonnes to 0.8 million tonnes. For the nine

months, bulk cargo revenue increased by 24.6% to $37.3 million from $30 million as volumes increased

17.1% to 2.6 million tonnes from 2.3 million tonnes in the same period a year ago.

Log export volume for the quarter increased by 4.6% to 0.6 million tonnes, and for the nine-month period

increased by 24.9% to 2.2 million tonnes from 1.8 million tonnes. The strong volume momentum of the

first half year slowed in the third quarter, in line with anticipated decreases in volumes from central north

island windthrown forests and unprocessed logs sourced from Pan Pac.

Average revenue per tonne for the nine months increased 6.3% to $14.10 from $13.26 in the same

period last year, driven by yield increases and an increased contribution from our debarking operation,

partially offset by fewer vessel calls.

Cruise services

The cruise season completed in April with 89 vessel calls and nearly 140,000 passengers visiting the

region, contributing $9.1 million to revenue. This compares to 64 vessel calls contributing $5.3 million

to revenue in the prior comparative period.

There are currently 85 cruise vessel bookings for the upcoming 2025 season, and we note industry

expectations of a further reduced Australasian cruise season with fewer vessels and port calls for 2026.

Operating results

The result from operating activities for the third quarter increased 64.3% to $12.3 million from $7.5

million in the prior year period, as the third quarter revenue increase of $8 million exceeded the increase

in operating expenses of $3.2 million.

The result from operating activities for the nine months increased 35.1% to $39.6 million from $29.3

million. Positive operating leverage was demonstrated with higher bulk and cruise volumes driving

higher revenue of $14.4 million, and effective cost management limiting the increase in operating


3

Twenty-foot equivalent container unit

expenses to $4.1 million. Increased operating expenses resulted from higher insurance costs, higher

contract services for containers, and wage inflation.

Underlying net profit after tax for the third quarter increased by 156.7% to $4.8 million from $1.9 million

in the same period last year. For the nine months this increased by 70% to $15.9 million from $9.3

million primarily due to the higher operating result.

Reported net profit after tax for the third quarter increased 13.7% to $4.8 million from $4.2 million in the

same period last year, and for the nine months increased 48.2% to $19.1 million from $12.9 million.

Reported net profit after tax for the nine months included a $7.2 million before tax 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.


CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Over the nine-month period Napier Port has invested $8.6 million in capital assets, including additional

terminal paving, replacement mobile plant and site asset management works.

Cash flows from operating activities increased significantly by $19.4m, or 58.7%, to $52.3 million from

$33 million in the same period last year. Operating cash flow was supported by net $7.5 million of

business interruption insurance income receipts and favourable working capital movements.

Napier Port ended June 2024 with total drawn debt of $108 million, down from $130 million at the end

of the 2023 financial year, and undrawn bank facilities of $72 million, and with a Debt to EBITDA ratio

of 1.87 times.

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

For the nine months ended 30 June 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 has

increased by $2.7 million, property and plant

expenses has decreased by $0.4 million, and

other operating expenses has increased by $3.1

million for the nine months ended 30 June 2023.

There is no change to the reported result from

operating activities for that period.

3. Summary of Material Accounting

Policy Information

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 nine months

ended 30 June 2024 the Group has recognised

total insurance recovery income of $7,243,000 (30

June 2023: $3,500,000) within Other Income and

Expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement.

As at 30 June 2024, $1,494,000 (30 June 2023:

$3,500,000) was receivable and recorded within

the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Valuation of sea defences

Sea defences were revalued to fair value as at

31 March 2024 by AECOM New Zealand Ltd.

The valuation was 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 $16.8 million, resulting in a net book

value for sea defences of $157.3 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 26% total

revenue (June 2023: 26%).

was 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 $2.03 million.

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.
