Chair’s address to shareholders

I am pleased to report on another strong result for EBOS for the 2024 financial year which saw

us adapt positively to the changing market dynamics and capitalise on opportunities to drive

future growth.


This result continues our long-term growth trajectory in delivering value for our shareholders

with our success underpinned by the extraordinary efforts of our more than 5,200 employees

who continue to serve, with unwavering commitment, to our communities across New Zealand,

Australia and Southeast Asia.

We operate in what continues to be an uncertain macroeconomic and political environment

both domestically and internationally. The defensive and diversified nature of our portfolio of

businesses continues to provide us with both growth and stability notwithstanding the impact

of cost-of-living pressures across the economy.

Over the past 10 years we have continued to diversify and grow our business with over 20

acquisitions across medical technology, retail pharmacy, medical consumables and animal

care. Consistent with this strategy of investing for growth, FY24 has been another period of

active investment.

We completed the acquisition of New Zealand’s Superior Pet Food Company in July 2023, and

we also acquired four small bolt-on businesses in the Medical Technology and Medical

Consumables sectors across ANZ and Southeast Asia. We also increased our shareholding in

Transmedic, our leading independent medical devices distributor in Southeast Asia, to 90% and

entered into arrangements that will facilitate us moving to 100% ownership in FY26.


We have continued to invest in our supply chain capabilities and operations. Over the past 12

months, we have either completed or initiated a number of major projects in both New Zealand

and Australia.


Most notably, our Healthcare Logistics business in Australia opened a new purpose built, state-

of-the-art pharmaceutical grade Contract Logistics facility in Sydney, New South Wales. As part

of our commitment to sustainability, this world class site is equipped with many features

including a 4,000-panel roof-mounted solar array, a 165,000-litre underground rainwater

storage tank, smart lighting, a waste recycling system, and 10 electric vehicle charging stations.

We are working towards having this facility certified as a 6-Star Green Star Building by the Green

Building Council of Australia.


Our consistent growth track record is underpinned by several diverse strategies across the

Group which are summarised on this slide.


These include the continued growth of our TWC network; growth of our Medical Technology

business across Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia; continuing to grow our contract

logistics share in Australia; and in our Animal Care segment, continuing to bring to market
strong new product and brand initiatives.


EBOS’s purpose, ‘advance opportunities to enrich lives’ applies not only to customers, patients

and the communities we serve but also to our over 5,200 employees.


As part of our integrity training schedule, and our commitment to fostering safe, inclusive, and

respectful workplaces, we have provided mandatory training on our Code of Ethics,

Whistleblower Reporting, Rights and Protections, and Anti-bullying and Anti-harassment.

Furthermore, we have updated our policy on Workplace Discrimination, Harassment & Bullying

to reflect best practice.


To develop our leaders of tomorrow, our senior leadership program, Catalyst, connects EBOS’

leaders of today with our emerging talent to build the capability, courage and confidence of all

participants through learning, coaching, and networking opportunities.


The welfare and safety of employees continues to be a major focus and the Group’s Work

Health & Safety management system focuses on strong leadership and accountability for

workplace safety policies and practices.


The Group Safety Committee, chaired by the CEO, oversees relevant policies and initiatives,

including training, critical risk management and advancing the use of technology to mitigate

risks. Operating divisions report monthly performance data to senior management and the

Board receives monthly and annual reports on key metrics and other key initiatives being

undertaken by our safety teams.


Our Environmental, Social and Governance or ESG program supports our purpose to advance

opportunities to enrich lives with a number of initiatives and projects across our businesses.

In FY24, we continued to develop our Carbon Reduction Plan, which sets out the Group’s

strategy for responding to climate-related risks and opportunities as we transition to a low-

carbon economy.


As part of our commitment to achieve zero reported scope 1 and 2 emissions after offsets in

FY27, we are constructing a solar array at our pet food manufacturing facility in Parkes, NSW. In

FY24, the first phase of our solar array project was completed with the electrification of the new

500-kilowatt roof-mounted solar array. Our focus has now turned to the installation of a

significant ground-mounted array in Parkes that is expected to generate approximately 5

megawatts of clean energy.


Our grocery brands are also on track to commence their transition to more sustainable

packaging in 2025 by eliminating hard to recycle plastics to meet industry expectations and

anticipated government regulations.


Another important area of our ESG program is the enhancement of safeguards to protect

against social risks. We commenced embedding proactive risk management measures in

relation to modern slavery and other social risks as part of our ethical sourcing framework. In
addition, we continue to have the appropriate focus and work programs to protect our data and

systems to emerging and dynamic threats.


Together with other aspects of our corporate strategy, the Board oversees the development and

implementation of our ESG Program as part of its commitment to sound corporate governance.

Business ethics are central to leadership and decision making at EBOS, as outlined in our

Corporate Governance Code which was most recently updated in October 2023.


We encourage shareholders to read further information on our ESG Program which is contained

in our 2024 Sustainability Report.


Consistent with EBOS’ Board renewal process, independent director Peter Williams will retire

with effect from the conclusion of today’s meeting. We will be acknowledging Peter’s service

later in today’s proceedings.


Peter’s retirement is part of a carefully considered succession process that includes the

appointments of Mark Bloom and Julie Tay as independent directors during the last two years

and today’s resolution for the election of Matt Muscio as a director.


We are also in the final stages of appointing an additional non-executive Australian resident

director in the near term as part of the overall Board renewal process.


The Directors announced a final dividend of NZ 61.5 cents per share. In combination with the

interim dividend, this brings total dividends declared for FY24 to NZ 118.5 cents per share

representing an increase of 7.7% on the previous year.


To all our shareholders, thank you for your ongoing support and trust in the Board, executives

and employees of EBOS.

I again acknowledge the contribution of all our employees across New Zealand, Australia and

Southeast Asia.


To John and his executive team, thank you for your extraordinary commitment to our company

and your energy in continually looking for ways to drive EBOS forward.


I will now hand over to John for a more in-depth review of the operational performance of the

business.


Thank you.

CEO’s Address to Shareholders

Kia Ora and thank you Liz.


May I also extend a warm welcome to everyone attending today’s Annual Meeting here in

Auckland, as well as to those joining us online.


Today, I’m pleased to provide a review of the company’s performance for the 2024 financial

year, as well as some insights into current trading conditions.


Before doing so I would like to show a video that captures our key highlights and activities from

the past 12 months.


(A copy of the video will be made available on the EBOS website)


As you can see it’s been another year of high activity across EBOS and should you wish to learn

more about our business then I encourage you to read both our 2024 Annual and Sustainability

Reports which are available online.


The Group once again generated strong performances in both our Healthcare and Animal Care

segments driven by continued organic growth as well as several strategic investments.


Key highlights included:


• Strong earnings growth, with Underlying EBITDA increasing by 7.3% on the prior year;

• The TerryWhite Chemmart (TWC) network continued to grow, reaching 600 stores

across Australia;

• New products were launched across our Black Hawk and VitaPet brands;

• Return on capital employed was in line with our target and historical norms; and

• We increased dividends to shareholders by just under 8%.

In FY24, the Group’s revenue exceeded $13 billion for the first time, up 7.8% on the prior year.

This was driven by growth in both our Healthcare and Animal Care segments, including strong

performances from our Community Pharmacy, Institutional Healthcare and Animal Care

divisions.


EBOS recorded Underlying EBITDA of $624.3 million, representing 7.3% growth, and Underlying

NPAT of $303.4 million, representing 7.7% growth.


As Liz referenced earlier, our FY24 performance continues EBOS’ long term track record of

delivering strong and consistent results. Over the last 10 years, we have grown both earnings

and dividends per share on a compound annual growth rate of more than 10%.

Our Healthcare segment delivered a solid performance with Revenue and Underlying EBITDA
growth of 8% and 6% respectively. The strong performance was driven by organic growth

across each of our Community Pharmacy, TWC and Institutional Healthcare businesses.


In terms of our geographic regions, our Australian Healthcare business grew Revenue and

Underlying EBITDA by 8% and 9.4% respectively.


The Community Pharmacy business continued its strong performance, recording revenue

growth of just under $500 million (or 6.8%) and GOR growth of $31.8 million (up 4.9%).


Approximately 12 months have passed since the commencement of the Australian

Government’s policy allowing pharmacists to dispense 60 days’ supply of PBS medicines,

compared to previous limits of 30 days’ supply. The impact to our Community Pharmacy

business was broadly offset in FY24 by the government providing a corresponding increase to

the Community Service Obligation or CSO funding pool.


The current CSO deed by which our Australian business operates has recently been extended

whilst we finalise discussions with the Government on arrangements for the first Pharmacy

Wholesaler Agreement. This Agreement, when concluded, will ensure that every Australian

continues to have timely, reliable and safe access to their PBS medicines and vaccines across

the nation. We remain confident that the upcoming agreement will fully reflect the value our

Symbion wholesale business provides in supplying essential medicines to the Australian

community.


Moving to other components of our Healthcare operations I am pleased to report that our

Institutional Healthcare business’ solid performance was driven by growth in both our Symbion

Hospitals and Medical Technology businesses.


Symbion Hospitals recorded strong revenue growth driven by both gains in market share and

sales of high value specialty medicines, whilst our Medical Technology business’ growth was

driven by our spine, implant, aesthetics and allograft channels.


Our Contract Logistics business in Australia continues to generate growth through new and

existing principals, whilst in New Zealand, the business was impacted by the fall in demand for

the storage and servicing of COVID-19 related products.


Despite cost pressures during the year, Healthcare’s Underlying EBITDA margin remained

broadly in-line with the prior year, with the business benefitting from operational efficiencies.


Our TWC business continued its impressive growth, further strengthening its position as

Australia’s largest health advice community pharmacy network, recently opening its 600th

store. The opening of the 600th store in July this year highlights the continued success of the

TWC brand under our ownership, and further demonstrates the strength and momentum of the

franchise amongst professional community pharmacists.


Turning now to our Animal Care segment.


Animal Care generated double digit EBITDA growth of $13 million (up 13.2%) driven by the

strong performance of our branded businesses.


The branded business was supported by ongoing resilience in the pet food category, the

contribution of the Superior acquisition, which has performed strongly during its first year under

our ownership, and new product development launches.


This growth was partially offset by softness in discretionary categories such as accessories and

the wholesale business.


In line with our Animal Care growth strategy, several new product launches occurred in FY24.

Our new product development strategy is designed to leverage the strength of our brands,

manufacturing capabilities and retailer relationships, to expand into new product categories

where we see growth potential.


In September 2023, we launched Black Hawk’s new Healthy Benefits dry dog food range –

developed by animal nutritionists and vets to address common health concerns in dogs.


VitaPet’s new dry dog food range was launched during the year into major supermarkets in both

Australia and New Zealand, and tapping into the humanisation of pet food trends, several new

treats were also launched under the VitaPet brand.


In another major development, Black Hawk launched a new and improved range of Black Hawk

dry and wet cat food meals. Available in pet specialty channels and vet clinics, the products

feature premium ingredients, supported by comprehensive consumer research.


Earlier the Chair referred to our ESG Program and the range of initiatives in place. In addition to

these initiatives, EBOS has strived to ‘help out’ by providing support to various healthcare,

animal care and community focussed charities. Across New Zealand and Australia, we proudly

continue to support the work of Ovarian Cancer Australia, Back Track, LandSAR, Fight MND, the

Cerebral Palsy Alliance, the Australian Prostate Centre and Guide Dogs Australia.


We also extend support to employees who raise funds for registered health and animal welfare

charities, via the EBOS Match Funding policy.


Before I conclude I would like to share an update on several near-term strategic initiatives

which are providing us with momentum in FY25.


First, the Group has demonstrated over a long period of time its capability in generating organic

growth and we expect that dynamic to continue as we benefit from the diversified nature of our

operations.

Second, in light of the changed dynamics in the Australian community pharmacy industry, we
are targeting $300m in new pharmacy revenues, and thirdly, we continue to make solid

progress with our cost efficiency exercise that has identified between $25 to $50 million of cost

savings over FY25 and FY26.


Finally, we will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and we see many opportunities across

our Healthcare and Animal care segments to further broaden the Group’s scale.


In closing, I would now like to provide a brief commentary on our year-to-date trading

performance, and we have had a solid start to the year with Underlying EBITDA growth recorded

for the three months to 30 September of approximately 7.5% when compared to the prior

corresponding period, adjusted to exclude the earnings from the Chemist Warehouse Australia

contract.


We reiterate our earnings guidance for FY25 that the Group expects to generate Underlying

EBITDA of between $575m-$600m.


I would like to thank the members of my executive team and our 5,200 employees across New

Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia for their continued dedication in delivering the diverse

range of products and services to the communities we serve.


Finally, as we heard from Liz, Peter Williams will retire as a director at the conclusion of today’s

meeting. May I take this opportunity to personally thank you Peter for your support during my

time with the Group – particularly in my role as CEO.


Thank you for your attention ladies and gentlemen, and for your ongoing support as

shareholders. I’ll now hand back to Liz to continue with the formal matters of this meeting.


Thank you.
