MOVE Logistics Group Results for year ended 30 June 2024

MOVE FY24 RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has released its
audited results for the year ended 30 June 2024.
• Group performance and results below aspirations; significant improvements being targeted
in FY25 with new leadership and fast-tracked change programme
• Revenue down 13% to $301.7m as a result of lower market and customer activity
• Net loss after tax for the year of $(48.1)m
1
, including pre-tax, non-trading adjustments of
$19.7m
• Normalised EBITDA of $27.6m, and Normalised EBT of $(25.7)m
2
• Reduction in net operating cashflow (including rent and leases) to $(5.1)m
The results reflect underperformance of the Group, exacerbated by the recessionary environment
which impacted customer demand and further highlighted the need to right-size and improve
efficiencies within the organisation. A group wide change programme has been developed and is
now being executed at pace to drive financial improvement.
Chair of MOVE, Julia Raue, said: “MOVE’s results this year are clearly disappointing. We acknowledge
that we were too slow to react to the recessionary environment which has been stronger for longer
than expected, and reduce costs to match activity levels.
“We are now moving urgently to drive change and improvement. We have engaged with
independent advisors to ensure we have validated the challenges and opportunities within the
business as well as the external factors that have impacted MOVE’s performance. A comprehensive
change programme has been developed to replace Project Blueprint and experienced executive,
Paul Millward, has been appointed to lead the turnaround. We are moving ahead with a refreshed
Board and leadership team and are united in our focus to execute the change programme with
urgency.”
MOVE’s success relies on three factors, which will improve financial performance and importantly,
build shareholder value. These form the foundation of the change programme:
• Recalibrating operations - ensuring MOVE’s operational structure is appropriate for the size
and scale of the business, cost-effective and efficient, while retaining the flexibility to scale
up to meet increased demand and deliver quality customer service
• Profitable revenue growth - investment into sales capabilities, accelerating profitable
revenue opportunities and dynamic pricing disciplines
• Balance sheet resilience – priority focus on cashflow generation and capital management
The change programme is targeted to deliver a significant improvement in normalised EBT in FY25,
and a return to profitable normalised EBT in FY26, and is supported by the company’s financiers. In
particular, the network and fleet optimisation is expected to deliver a turnaround in the Freight
division’s performance.

Normalised EBITDA and Normalised EBT exclude non-controlling interest and non-trading adjustments of $19.7m pre-tax
related to asset impairment, settlement & restructuring cost (FY23: $1.7m). For more information, see Appendix slide in
FY24 Results Presentation.
Julia said: “The Board remains confident in MOVE’s underlying value and strong customer offer. Over
the last two years we have made good progress in core areas that matter – enhancing our multi-
modal, end to end supply chain, building a strong group culture and creating a strong brand
presence across the country, supported by our national network. The work done by advisors
confirms that MOVE’s underlying business fundamentals are sound. Long term macro trends remain
positive for the industry, with demand growth alongside government investment in transport
infrastructure. MOVE is well positioned to deliver expert logistics solutions across a range of
sectors.”
FY24 Financial Performance
Subdued customer activity and customer losses in a recessionary environment saw revenue reduce
13% year on year to $301.7m. Costs increased as a result of inflation and following 1H24 investment
in the business in anticipation of an economic recovery.
The result includes non-cash impairments of $17.3m on the carrying value of the Atlas Wind vessel
which is being held for sale and goodwill in the warehousing business. Excluding these and other
non-trading costs (totalling $19.7m), Normalised EBITDA
3
was down 41% to $27.6m, primarily as a
result of lower revenue and costs being too high for activity. In line with guidance, 2H24 Normalised
EBITDA was ahead of 1H24. Including non-trading costs, the company has reported a Net Loss after
Tax of $(48.1)m.
The priority for the Board is to restore positive adjusted net operating cashflow (inclusive of rent and
lease payments), which was $(5.1)m in FY24.
Net debt increased by $1.4m to $17.0m, with total bank debt of $36.0m (inclusive of $9m bank
guarantees). MOVE is finalising new funding arrangements with ANZ Bank and Pacific Invoice
Finance which will support the change programme as well as corporate and working capital
requirements. Total equity was $23.4m as at 30 June 2024.
Looking Forward
The change programme, which commenced in July 2024, is performing to plan with early wins
including expanded customer sales activity and good progress in the Freight turnaround.
Julia Raue said: “We are moving at pace to recalibrate the business, adapting it for current market
conditions, and making it more efficient and fit for the future. We expect substantial progress over
FY25 to restore cashflow and improve earnings, with initial results to be seen from 2H FY25. Costs
associated with the change programme will impact in FY25.”
MOVE is targeting positive adjusted net operating cashflow and a significant improvement in
normalised EBT in FY25, and a return to normalised EBT profit in FY26.
“MOVE is one of the largest transport and logistics providers in New Zealand. We have a nationwide
network with a strong regional and metro presence, the ability to provide an end to end supply
chain solution, an experienced and passionate team, and a commitment to customer excellence. The
work we are doing now will reset our company, leverage MOVE’s strengths, realise its considerable
potential and grow shareholder value. As a Board, we are holding ourselves and our team to
account, and will keep shareholders and the market informed on our progress.”

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Reporting Entity
The core operations of MOVe Logistics Group Limited (“MOVe Logistics” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively
“the Group”) are in the New Zealand logistics sector. These include general transport, bulk liquids, heavy haulage,
shipping, warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding and storage.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC
Reporting Entity under part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is dual listed with its primary listing
of ordinary shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a foreign Exempt
Entity on the Australian securities exchange (ASX).
The registered office of the Company is at 24-30 Paraite Road, Bell Block, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The consolidated
financial statements of the Company as at, and for the year ended 30 June 2024, comprise the Company and its
subsidiaries (refer note 16.1), together referred to as the “Group”.
1.2. Basis of Preparation
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting
estimates. It also requires Management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting
policies. The areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are
disclosed in note 4.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
and the Companies Act 1993.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are selected and applied in a
manner which ensures that the resulting financial information satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby
ensuring that the substance of the underlying transaction and other events is reported. These policies have been
consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. To ensure consistency with the current period,
comparable figures have been restated where appropriate.
1.3. Going Concern
As at 30 June 2024, the Group recorded an after tax loss attributable to owners of $48.1m including a $12.5m goodwill
impairment and has a working capital deficit of $43.7m with loans and borrowings due for refinancing within the next
twelve months of $26.7m.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have conducted a comprehensive assessment of certain events,
conditions and related material uncertainties. Although the Directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare
these financial statements on a going concern basis they have concluded that there are material uncertainties.
The material uncertainties arise primarily as a result of:
• Continued challenging economic environment and resulting operational underperformance
• A significant turnaround plan being implemented but not completed
• The risk that forecasted results are not met and as a result key terms of financing arrangements are not complied
with
The following is the Directors analysis of all relevant material uncertainties:
Trading Performance
Economic Slowdown: The Group is facing severe impacts from a prolonged economic downturn. The slow economic
growth has led to reduced consumer demand, lower revenues, and increased financial pressure on the Group’s
operations.
Operational Challenges: The Group has faced issues where the business was too slow to react to the economic
downturn. This included ineffective execution of operational improvements particularly in Freight and Contract Logistics,
resulting in inefficient resource allocation and loss of revenue and profit. This poor execution has largely driven the poor
financial performance.
The Board has engaged external advisors to support the execution of the turnaround program, together with the
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
6
appointment of an interim CEO who has the experience required to execute the plan (see below for details of the plan).
The Group has also changed to a time charter ship for its Oceans trans-tasman operation which will result in reduced
risks to operations.
Financial Position
Renewal of Debt Facility with ANZ and new Debtor Invoice Financing
The Group has been working with its existing bank and another proposed lender to secure financing on terms acceptable
to the Group and note 12.5 provides details on the updated and new facilities. This will replace the current facility due to
expire in March 2025. At this time the parties have agreed to a term sheet that provides the following:
• Refinanced ANZ Banking facilities to 31 August 2025
• New Debtor Invoice Financing with a limit of $21m however with shareholder approval the Group has the option to
increase this to $25m
• Amended covenants to support turnaround program (which would be complied with based on forecast
performance)
With the above facilities and in conjunction with prudent working capital management the Group is comfortable that
it has sufficient cash and debt facilities available to meet its obligations and manage the Groups liquidity position
appropriately.
Turnaround plan
To further address the risks the Group faces, a range of initiatives are underway, with certain activities at a well-
progressed stage, albeit subject to material uncertainty with respect to time and outcomes. These initiatives include:
Cost Right-sizing: The Company is implementing a comprehensive cost reduction strategy, including operational
efficiencies, and resourcing levels, to improve profitability and cash flow. Management is also exploring the sale of surplus
assets to generate liquidity.
Revenue Growth: A key focus of the turnaround strategy is to enhance revenue growth by effectively converting the
existing sales pipeline. Management is implementing a targeted approach to accelerate the conversion of high-potential
leads and opportunities into confirmed sales.
Operational Optimisation and Restructuring: The Company is evaluating its operational structure and business model to
streamline operations and focus on core competencies that drive profitability.
Conclusion
While the Group is confident in its ability to implement the turnaround plan successfully, manage the challenging current
operating environment, achieve forecasted results and as a result operate within the financing terms and conditions
proposed, the Directors reiterate that there are a number of material uncertainties related to unknown future events
that are not fully within their control. These material uncertainties are related to events and conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Groups ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets
and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required if the Group is unable to continue as a
going concern.
1.4. Statement of Compliance
The Group is a for-profit entity. Its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with, and comply with, New
Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards and Authoritive Notices, as appropriate
for for-profit entities. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standards (IFRS
Accounting standards).

2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1. Consolidation
a. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the
equity interest issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting
from a contingent consideration arrangement and the elimination of any balances arising between the Group and the
acquiree.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously
held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gain or loss arising from
remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities
assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition
by acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquisition either at fair value or at the non-
controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, and the
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the Group’s share of the
identifiable net assets acquired, is recorded as goodwill.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are
subsequently re-measured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted
by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated Statement of
Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Balance Sheet respectively.
b. Assets held for sale
Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is
expected to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as
met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset (or disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present
condition and the sale of the asset (or disposal group) is expected to be completed within one year from the date of
classification. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gain or loss on remeasurement
is recognised in profit or loss. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no
longer amortised or depreciated.
2.2. Foreign Currency Translation
a. Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented
in New Zealand Dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional and the presentation currency of all companies
in the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited and TNL Australia Pty Limited, whose functional currencies are
United States Dollars and Australian Dollars respectively.
b. Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the
dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are
recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2.3. New Accounting Standards & Interpretations
The Group adopted the amendments of NZ IAS 1 for the first time in the current year. The amendments change the
requirements of NZ IAS 1 with regard to disclosure of accounting policies. The amendment shifts the focus from ‘significant
accounting policies’ to ‘material accounting policy information’. This change is reflected in the financial statements.
2.4. Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
The new standards and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective as at the date of reporting are disclosed
below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations if applicable when they
become effective.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
This standard becomes effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. IFRS 18 introduces new
requirements on presentation within the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, including specified
totals and subtotals. It also requries disclosure of management defined performance measures and includes new
requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information on the basis of the identified ‘roles’ of the
primary financial statements and notes.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank loans and overdrafts, cash, trade creditors and accruals and
trade debtors. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise and provide working capital for the Group’s
operations.
This note explains the Group’s exposure to financial risks and how these risks affect the Group’s future financial
performance.

Aging analysis & credit ratings
Market risk - interest rateLong term borrowing at variable ratesSensitivity analysis
Liquidity riskBorrowings and other liabilitiesRolling cash flow forecast
The Group’s risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved
by the Board of Directors. Group Treasury identifies, evaluates and manages financial risks in close co-operation with the
Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering
specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, funding risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and use of derivative financial
instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.
3.1. Credit Risk Management
In the normal course of business the Group incurs credit risk from trade debtors and transactions with financial
institutions. The Group has a credit policy that it uses to manage this risk. As part of this policy limits on exposures with
counter-parties have been set and approved by the Board of Directors and are monitored on a regular basis.
The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group does not require any collateral or security to support
financial instruments due to the quality of the financial institutions and trade debtors dealt with. The Group normally gives
30 or 60 days credit on its trade receivables. At 30 June the Group’s credit risk exposure is equal to the carrying value of
its financial assets.

a. Impaired trade receivables
Individual receivables which are known to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The
other receivables are assessed collectively to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment has
been incurred but not yet been identified. For these receivables the estimated impairment losses are recognised in
a separate provision for impairment. The Group considers that there is evidence of impairment if any of the following
indicators are present:
• significant financial difficulties of the debtor
• probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and
• default or delinquency in payments.
Receivables for which an impairment provision was recognised are written off against the provision when there is no
expectation of recovering additional cash.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss within other expenses. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously
written off are credited against other expenses.
Movements in the provision for impairment of trade receivables that are assessed for impairment collectively are as

Critical Estimates and Judgements
a. Credit loss provision
To measure expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped and reviewed on the basis of the number of
days past due. The credit loss provision has been calculated by considering the impact of the following characteristics:
• The baseline loss rate takes into account the average write-off history of the Group over a two-year period as a
predictor of future conditions and applies an increasing expected credit loss estimate by trade receivables aging
profile.
• Specific credit loss provisions are made based on any specific customer collection issues that are identified.
Collections and payments from our customers are continuously monitored and a credit loss provision is maintained
to cover any specific customer credit losses anticipated.
The Group has performed an assessment of credit risk on its customer base taking into consideration the factors below:
• profile of the customer, i.e. corporate or individual customers
• region the customer is based in
• industry the customer operates within
• size and nature of the customer
• and, the Group’s understanding of and experience with the customer
As a result of this assessment, the Group has assessed its baseline provision to $1,530,000 (2023: $1,965,000), to reflect the
estimated financial impact of its assessment of the credit risk.
3.2. Interest Rate Risk
The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long term borrowing with variable rates which exposes the Group to cash
flow interest rate risk. The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that where appropriate its exposure to changes in interest
rates on borrowings is on a fixed rate basis by entering into interest rate swaps.
The Group currently has no interest rate swaps in place.
The Group does not hedge account so all market adjustments are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss & Other
Comprehensive Income.
Sensitivity analysis
The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the floating interest rates for the Group would be a decrease/increase in profit
and equity of $267,000 (2023: $43,000).
3.3. Liquidity Risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an
adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group
maintains flexibility in funding through having flexible funding lines available to them. Management monitors rolling
forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve, which comprises its undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents
(note 12.1) on the basis of expected cash flows.
The Group had access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

3.4. Capital Management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that they
can continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal structure
to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio and bank covenant compliance. The Group’s gearing ratio at

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition,
seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material
adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. Other
critical accounting estimates will be disclosed in the relevant notes.
a. Estimated impairment of goodwill
The Group tests annually whether goodwill has suffered any impairment. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating
units have been determined based on the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal calculations. These
calculations require the use of estimates (refer note 13.3).
b. Held for Sale
In May 2024 the Group annouced its intention to undertake a sales process of the Atlas Wind vessel and pursue a charter
model to align with the Group’s asset light model. Judgements have been made to determine that the conditions of
a held for sale asset have been met. Assets held for sale are measured at the lower of fair vale less costs to sell and
carrying value, these calculations require the use of accounting estimates (refer note 20).
5. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and
comply with both International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the New Zealand equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
These financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS. The
non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations
(a GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, share of loss of
associates, restructuring & settlement costs, asset impairments and acquisition related costs (non operating
expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
• Adjusted EBIT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a
GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, share of loss of associates, restructuring & settlement
costs, asset impairments and acquisition related costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial
statements.
• Adjusted EBT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a
GAAP measure), excluding share of loss of associates, restructuring & settlement costs, asset impairments and
acquisition related costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding
of the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of
business units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a subsitute for
measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable to
similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
The Group has made the decision that the eleven operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Group CEO
can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard to the
nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of capital,
the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.
In addition to GAAP measures, the Group CEO also uses non-GAAP measures (EBITDA, EBIT and EBT) to assess the
commercial performance of the segments. The revised reportable operating segments have been determined as:
INTERNATIONAL
This segment includes international freight forwarding and shipping agency services across a broad range of industries.
SPECIALIST
This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.
FREIGHT
This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide
range of freight types.
CONTRACT LOGISTICS
This segment specialises in contracted solutions providing services for customers including warehouse and supply chain
capability and delivery of bulk liquids.
CORPORATE
This segment includes our corporate services function.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by the central treasury
function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment
revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.
Revenues of approximately $52,000,000 (2023: $53,000,000) are derived from a single external customer which exceeds
10% or more of the entity’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Contract Logistics segment.

7. REVENUE & OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of services in the ordinary
course of the Group’s activities. Revenue is shown net of GST, rebates and after eliminating sales within the Group.
a. Sale of services
Freight Services
The Group performs transportation services. Revenue is recognised over the time of delivery, being from the time of
acceptance of the goods to delivery to the final destination.
Warehousing Services
The logistics function provides warehousing and storage services. Revenue from providing these services is recognised in
the accounting period in which the services are rendered. Some contracts include multiple deliverables. However, these
are easily identifiable and are accounted for as separate performance obligations.
Trading Services
The Group performs freight forwarding, trans tasman shipping and agency services. Revenue is recognised over the
time of delivery, being from the time of acceptance of the job to completion of the shipment. Revenue is recognised for
agency and freight forwarding on a net basis after disbursements as the Group are acting as an agent for the customer.
For fixed priced contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period
as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is because the customer receives and uses the benefits of the
service simultaneously.
Customers are invoiced on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and consideration is payable when invoiced. There are no
significant financing arrangements for any of the Group’s revenue streams. The Group does not offer any refunds or
warranties.
The Group derives the following types of revenue:

b. Interest income
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
c. Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.
d. Lease income
Lease income from operating leases where the Group is a lessor is recognised as rental income on a straight-line basis
over the lease term.
e. Financing component
The Group does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised service to the
customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the
transaction prices for the time value of money.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
17
f. Contract liability
The Group recognises a contract liability (deferred revenue) when the Group has recognised consideration for
performance obligations yet to be fulfilled. The opening balance has been recognised in revenue in the current year.
In the current year, there was $341,000 (2023: $521,000) of revenue recognised relating to contract liabilities at the prior
year end. The average timing of satisfaction of performance obligation in relation to the payment of the contract liability
is between 1 and 5 days. Management expects that 100% of the revenue (transaction price) allocated to unsatisfied
performance obligations as of 30 June 2024 will be recognised as revenue during the next reporting period ($439,000).
g. Government grants
Grants from the Government are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be
received, and the Group will comply with the attached conditions.
Wage subsidy grants of $18,000 (2023: $114,000) are included in the ‘other income’ line item. There are no unfulfilled
conditions or other contingencies attached to these grants.
h. Other income
Included within other income is insurance recovery income of $2.7m (2023: Nil) which was receieved in relation to an
engine failure on the Atlas Wind Ship. Also included within other income is one off fleet rental income in relation to a
contract exit transition period of $2.4m (2023: Nil).

8.1. Employee Costs
a. Superannuation benefits
The Group operates a defined contribution superannuation scheme. The scheme is funded through employee and Group
contributions to a trustee-administered fund. The Group has no further payment obligations once contributions have
been paid. Contributions are recognised as an employee benefits expense when they are due.
MOV
e Freight Limited has a historic defined contribution company superannuation scheme that has been operating for a
number of years. The Company has contribution rates from 4% - 6%.
Members contribute a minimum of 4% of their salary/wage and can go as high as 15%. The Company contributions are
vested to the member at the rate of 20% per year of service with the Company i.e. 100% after five years of service.
b. Other employee benefits
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and accumulating sick leave are expected to be
settled within 12 months. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
c. Long service leave
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the
end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured at the present value
of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting
period. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods
of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality
corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Re-
measurement as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or
loss.
d. Profit-sharing and bonus plans
The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on a formula that takes into
consideration the profit attributable to the Company’s shareholders after certain adjustments. The Group recognises a
provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
The tax expense for the year comprised current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit or loss component of the
Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly
in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive
income or equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance
sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

Dividends to the company shareholders are recognised in the Group’s financial statements in the period in which the
dividends are declared. Intercompany dividends are eliminated on consolidation.
No dividends have been declared by the company or recognised in the current year (2023: nil).
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is computed based
on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on
the weighted average number of ordinary shares plus the effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares outstanding during
the period. At balance date, the effects of the potential ordinary shares were antidilutive. The potential ordinary shares
include the share options.

12. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES
The Group classifies its financial assets at amortised cost. The classification depends on the purpose for which the
financial assets are held. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the reporting
date which are classified as non-current assets. The Group’s financial assets comprise ‘Trade and other receivables’
and ‘Cash and cash equivalents’ in the Balance Sheet. Financial assets that are stated at amortised cost are reviewed
individually at balance date to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Any impairment losses are
recognised in the consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.
This note provides information about the Group’s financial instruments, including:
• An overview of all financial instruments held by the Group
• Specific information about each type of financial instrument
• Information about determining the fair value of the instruments, including judgements and estimations of
uncertainty involved.

The Group’s exposure to various risks associated with the financial instruments is discussed in note 3. The maximum
exposure to credit risk at the end of the reporting period is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets
mentioned above, other than for trade and other receivables where the maximum credit risk is the balance before
impairment, being $41,520,000 (2023: $53,318,000).
12.1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held on call with banks, other short-term highly liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within
borrowings in current liabilities on the Balance Sheet.
Cash and cash equivalents include the following for the purpose of the cash flow statement:

Total9,7048,744
12.2. Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method less provision for expected credit loss.
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with trade receivables carried at
amortised cost. The Group applies the simplified approach permitted by NZ IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses
to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. Impairment of trade receivables is recognised in profit or loss.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation,
and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable has been impaired. The
amount of the provision is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at
amortised cost using the effective interest method. Any borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group
has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Borrowing costs are expensed as incurred, unless they relate to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset in which case the borrowing costs are capitalised.
The ANZ Bank Limited (ANZ) facilities include a $7.5m flexible credit facility ($1m undrawn at 30 June 2024), an overdraft

On 22 February 2024 the ANZ formally reset the financial covenants as below out to 31 March 2025
• EBITDA actual > 85% of EBITDA Forecast on a YTD basis
• Net capital expenditure restricted to $1.9 millon in FY24 and $3.2 million in FY25
• Guarantor coverage Assets of >85%
• Guarantor coverage EBITDA of >90%
During the year to 30 June 2024 these were fully complied with.
Post year end as a result of the expiry of the existing financing arrangement with ANZ in March 2025 and the FY24 loss the
Group sought and obtained an amended funding arrangement to allow flexibility and support in its turnaround plan.
The new facility introduces a debtor invoice financing partner in addition to an amended ANZ arrangement. The new
debtor invoice financing facility limit of $21m (up to $25m with shareholder approval) will be used to repay ANZ current
facilities by $15.5m with any remaining amount used to fund working capital required in the execution of the turnaround.
The amended ANZ facilities include a term loan of $12.2m, $2.5m overdraft, bank guarantees totalling $8.7m, quarterly
repayments of $1.25m re-commencing from March 2025 and amended quarterly financial covenants as below:
• EBITDA actual > 85% of EBITDA Forecast on a YTD basis
• Capital expenditure restricted to $1m in FY25
• Total ANZ exposure not greater than 50% of Property Plant and Equipment value at all times post introduction of
debtor invoice financing
The Group is forecasting compliance with the amended financial covenants for at least 12 months from the date of
signing the financial statements. Accordingly, and in line with note 1.3 the consolidated financial statements are prepared
on a going concern basis.
13. NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
This note provides information about the Group’s non-financial assets and liabilities, including specific information about
each type of non-financial asset and non-financial liability:
• Property, plant and equipment (note 13.1)
• ROU assets and lease liabilities (note 13.2)
• Intangible assets (note 13.3)
• Deferred tax balances (note 13.4)
• Provisions for other liabilities and charges (note 13.5)
Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill, indefinite-life intangible assets and intangible assets that are not yet ready for use are tested annually for
impairment. Assets that are subject to depreciation and amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is
the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to dispose and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets
are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-
financial assets, other than goodwill, that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at
each reporting date.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
24
13.1. Property, Plant and Equipment
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is
directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance
are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the diminishing value (DV) or straight-line (SL) method.

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is
greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised
within ‘Gains on disposal of assets’ in the Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income.

13.2. Right Of Use (ROU) Assets and Lease Liabilities
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net
present value of the following lease payments:
• fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable and
• variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined,
the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an
expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT
equipment and small items of office furniture.
Right of use assets are measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any lease
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
26
incentives received or restoration costs estimated. There were no onerous lease contracts that would have required an
adjustment to the right of use assets at the date of initial application. These assets are subsequently depreciated using
the straight-line method.
Lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate. The weighted average lessee’s incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities is
4.93% (2023: 4.66%).
The Group uses a build up approach that starts with a risk free interest rate adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk for
leases held by the Group and then makes specific adjustments for lease terms.
During the year, the Group applied the following practical expedients:
• the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as short-term leases
• the use of historical experience in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or
terminate the lease
The recognised right of use assets relate to the following types of assets:

13.3. Intangible Assets
a. Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the
acquiree, and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the
Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in ‘Intangible
assets’ in the Balance Sheet. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in ‘Investments in associates’ in the
Balance Sheet and is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. Separately recognised goodwill is tested
annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not
reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination on
which the goodwill arose.
b. Computer software and Software-as-a-service (SaaS) arrangements
Acquired computer software is capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific
software. These costs are amortised, using the diminishing value method at a rate of 48% and recognised in the profit or
loss. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense when incurred.
SaaS arrangements are service contracts providing the Company with the right to access the cloud provider’s
application software over the contract period. Costs incurred to configure or customise, and the ongoing fees to obtain
access to the cloud provider’s application software, are recognised as operating expenses when the services are
received.
Some of these costs incurred are for the development of software code that enhances or modifies, or creates additional
capability to, existing on-premise systems and meets the definition of and recognition criteria for an intangible asset.
These costs are recognised as intangible software assets and amortised over the useful life of the software on a straight-
line basis. The useful lives of these assets are reviewed at least at the end of each financial year, and any change
accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.
c. Customer contracts and lists
Acquired customer contracts and lists are recognised at their fair value at the date of acquisition and are subsequently
amortised on a straight-line basis over the appropriate contract term. Amortisation expense is recognised in the profit or
loss.

Total1,14213,635
The Group tests goodwill for impairment using the higher of value in use calculations with cash flow projections based
on a five-year period and the fair value less costs to sell. Management has prepared an upside, downside and base
scenario for each CGU. Each of these include the Board approved cash flow projections with cashflows beyond this
extrapolated using the assumptions. The final value in use calculations for each CGU apply an assessed probability
weighting to the three scenarios.
As part of the impairment assessment , MOVE Logistics and Warehousing Limited goodwill of $12,493,000 has been fully
impaired as a result of an overall decrease in sales and the loss of four key customer contracts (combined impact of
$28m in sales per annum). The impairment charge is recognised in the non operating expenses in the statement of Profit
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. No other class of assets have been impaired. Management has concluded
that there are no other impairments for any other of the CGUs at 30 June 2024.

13.4. Deferred Income Tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income
tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax
is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and
are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available
against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the
same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle
the balances on a net basis.
Temporary differences arise from the following:

Significant management judgement has been exercised to determine that future taxable profits for the Group are
beyond a reliable forecast horizon and that no deferred tax asset should be recognised.
A deferred tax asset of $10.8m (net) (2023: Nil) has been derecognised in the currrent year. The unrecognised deferred tax
asset is comprised of tax losses of $6,994,000 and net timing differences $3,812,000.

13.5. Provisions for Other Liabilities and Charges
Provisions for other liabilities and charges are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation
as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the
amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of Management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligations at the end of the reporting period.

20. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In May 2024, the Board approved and annouced its intention to sell the Atlas Wind vessel owned by its subsidary
company MOVE Oceans Singapore PTE Ltd which operates in the International segment. The vessel and plant and
equipment used on the vessel will be sold to allow for a charter of a larger vessel to better service the needs of customers
as well as align with the Groups asset light business model. The vessel and plant and equipment has been classified as
Assets held for sale under IFRS 5 - Non Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. Entities are required
to measure non-current assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of their carrying value and fair value less costs
to sell. As a result of this assessment the vessel has been recorded at $1.9m in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and an
impairment of $4.3m has been recorded in the Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income.
As at year end there has been no offer accepted for the sale of the asset. The Group expects to dispose of the vessel
within the next 12 months.
21. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
On 9th August 2024 the group signed a confidential settlement relating to an alleged claim from FY24. The claim has
been resolved resulting in instalment payments scheduled for FY25 and FY26.
Following the resignation of the Group CEO on 12 July 2024, the Group appointed Paul MillIward as Interim CEO effective
4th September 2024.
Post year end the Group obtained credit approval for a new funding arrangement with existing banking partner ANZ and
a new debtor invoice financing partner (refer note 12.5).

International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm provides access to training material through an on-line platform. The provision of the access
to training materials has not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1.3 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net
loss before tax for the year of $45.3m (2023 $7.6m) and had net current liabilities of $43.7m as at 30
June 2024. Net current liabilities include $26.7m of borrowings that is due for repayment in March 2025.
As stated in note 1.3 to the financial statements, if the Group were unable to achieve its turnaround plan
and forecasts going forward, it may not be able to operate in compliance with proposed revised financing
terms. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in note 1.3, indicate the
existence of material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a
going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in
our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed
in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter
described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters
described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
Description of the key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment of Goodwill
As disclosed in note 13.3 of the financial
statements, during the year ended 30
June 2024, the Group lost a number of
significant contracts which resulted in a
decrease to annual revenue for the Move
Logistics and Warehousing cash
generating unit (‘CGU’) of $28m.
This CGU included a goodwill balance of
$12.5m which was recognised on the
acquisition of Move Logistics Limited.
An annual impairment assessment for
indefinite lived intangible assets is
required in accordance with NZ IAS 36.
Management estimated the recoverable
amount using the higher of the two
valuation approaches, being fair value
less costs of disposal and value in use.
The significant estimates and judgement
relate to the future forecasts.
This resulted in an impairment loss of
$12.5 million against the carrying amount
of goodwill as at 30 June 2024, resulting
in a nil value for the CGU.
This is considered a key audit matter due
to the size of the impact on the closing net
book value of goodwill and the significant
level of management estimation and
judgement applied in performing the
impairment assessment.
Our procedures included the following:
● obtaining the impairment model prepared by
management for the Move Logistics and
Warehousing CGU and understanding the
processes undertaken to prepare the
forecasts and the assumptions applied;
● understanding the controls that management
have in relation to the impairment assessment
of goodwill and evaluating their design;
● considering management's assessment of the
respective CGUs in the Group and the
allocation of corporate assets in the CGUs;
● testing the mathematical accuracy of the
model used, including that the recoverable
amount calculated was lower than the carrying
amount of the CGU;
● considering the impact of the loss of the key
customer contracts on the forecasts;
● engaging our auditor's expert to assist us in
assessing and challenging whether the
assumptions used in the model are
reasonable. The key areas assessed included:
○ the valuation methodology used; and
○ the reasonableness of the discount
rate; and
● auditing the disclosures in note 13.3 of the
consolidated financial statements to ensure
that they are compliant with the requirements
of the relevant accounting standards.

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $1.5 million, which represents approximately 0.5% of
revenue.
We chose revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark
against which the performance of the Group is most commonly measured by
users, and is a generally accepted benchmark.
Full scope audits were performed for 4 of 14 entities in the Group based on
their financial significance;
Specified audit procedures and analytical review procedures were performed
on the remaining entities.
As reported above, in addition to the matter described in the Material
uncertainty related to going concern section, we have one key audit matter,
being:
● Impairment of Goodwill
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In particular, we considered where
management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates
that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all
of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among
other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,
including the overall Group materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out
above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit,
the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both
individually and in aggregate, on the consolidated financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion
on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the
accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.
Other information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon. The Annual report is expected to be made available to us after the
date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will
not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

PwC
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material
misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our
professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of
the consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards,
and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the
Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate
the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
