reliability (value)

•Growth opportunity from our network & market penetration in our Americas,

Australia – Key Initiatives/Opportunities & Challenges
Warehousing

•Profit improvements recently of $36M, with 40 new customers onboarded since April

moving utilisation from 65% to 85% by November

•Have absorbed lease tails of $1.8M and new building rent increases of $4.3M

•Larger buildings, close to or on rail intermodals. More efficient inbound from Port to

Warehouse. Bigger volumes help load direct outbound linehaul within Mainfreight network

•Better productivity & quality from Autonomous Mobile Robots & sortation technologies at

Moorebank – Seeing 40 to 55% less time taken on inbound processes – more with less.

Transport

•Regional branches. Finding growth & profitability is difficult at times

•Evolving technologies assisting quality

•More efficient buildings coming online with rear loading & four-sided docks. 17% of

linehaul is now rear loaded moving to 30% within 12 months. Willawong (Brisbane) allows

for 32% more trucks per SQM of building space than the Larapinta Brisbane site

•“A” Double linehaul units running Mel/Syd – 41% more pallet spaces than “B” Doubles
