FY24 Annual Meeting Chair Address

For the year ending 30 June 2024 we reported an Allied Group net profit before tax of $7.315 million,

compared to $4.071 million for 2023. This consolidated group result includes profit attributable to NZ

Farmers Livestock’s minority shareholders. For Allied’s shareholders, it is more relevant to highlight

the profit attributable just to our shareholders. For FY24 this was $5.206 million, which was a pleasing

increase of 56% from the previous year’s $3.338 million.


Richard will provide more detail in his presentation, but the increased FY24 profit was driven by a one

off $4.2 million gain on the book value of the sale and licence back by NZ Farmers Livestock Limited of

its interest in a livestock saleyard, of which $2.85 million was attributable to Allied Farmers’

shareholders.


NZ Rural Land Management’s earnings were higher than FY23 on the back of management,

performance and transaction fees generated from a number of NZ Rural Land Company activities that

were successfully executed by NZ Rural Land Management. However, this was largely offset by lower

earnings from NZ Farmers Livestock Limited once its one-off gain is excluded.


Allied Group FY24 profitability was also impacted by this being the first time we have had a full year

amortisation of the NZRLM Management Contract acquired in March 2023 - a non-cash impact -

together with interest on the Heartland loan to fund its acquisition, suspension of dividends from NZ

Rural Land Company, and costs associated with strategic initiatives such as the amendment to Allied

Farmers’ constitution.


Allied’s ability to utilise its tax losses is dependent on meeting shareholder continuity requirements,

and we are acutely aware of maintaining shareholder continuity to preserve this valuable asset for

shareholders. Accordingly, in July 2024 we obtained shareholder approval to amend our constitution

to significantly strengthen our ability to restrict share transfers that would cause a breach of

shareholder continuity.


Consistent with recent years, the Board has decided to not pay a dividend for the FY24 financial year.

We continue to utilise tax losses, and therefore paying unimputed dividends is not the best use of your

funds. The Board strongly believes that in the short term, retaining and redeploying earnings is in your

best interests.


The Board continues to focus on delivering earnings per share growth for shareholders, and exploring

growth opportunities that leverage its core strengths in the rural and asset management sectors.

STRATEGY & UPDATE

Allied Farmers is a NZX-listed investment company with a focus on investments in the primary sector. In FY24 Allied recorded a net

profit after tax of $5.2m or 18.1 cents per share from these investments.

1. Provide shareholders with exposure to attractive investments;

2. Deliver earnings per share growth for shareholders by:

• Providing strategic guidance and support to its investments to

ensure that their business strategies are aligned with Allied

Farmer’s; and

• Exploring growth opportunities that leverage its core strengths in

the primary and investment management sectors

Company Update

• In February this year, NZRLM settled the sale of a 25% equity interest in New Zealand Rural Land Company’s land portfolio to

specialist private markets investment firm, Roc Partners.

• In July, shareholders approved constitutional amendments designed to preserve $178.1m of tax losses (cash benefit equal to 28%

of $178m, $49.9m). This allows Allied to offset future taxable income, reducing the company’s tax liability, preserving cash flows

and creating earnings derived value for shareholders.

• Consistent with Allied’s focus on ensuring the efficient allocation of assets, NZFL sold its interest in the Frankton sale yard for

above book value

Strategy

A copy of the Company’s constitution with the Constitutional Amendments shown by way of mark-up is available on the Company’s

website (at www.alliedfarmers.co.nz).
