CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

[Stuart McLauchlan, Chairman and Independent Director]


On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome you to Scott Technology’s 2024 Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting and present the results and highlights of Scott’s financial year.

Today, we celebrate the achievements of the past year and share our vision for continued growth and value

creation in the years ahead. The resilience and success we have demonstrated in 2024 reflect the dedication and

excellence of our employees worldwide, as well as the strength of our world-class products and innovative

technology.

As we reflect on our achievements, it’s also important to acknowledge the broader business landscape in which

we operate. The global environment remains complex, and several persistent trends shaping the way we navigate

our markets:

• Though interest rates are starting to ease, they remain elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.

• Inflation has moderated but still hovers above targets in many regions.

• Economic growth varies significantly across regions, adding to market unpredictability.

• Ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to drive companies toward nearshoring to strengthen supply

chain resilience.

Yet, amid these challenges, we see strong opportunities, and Scott is well-positioned to adapt and thrive. Our

global footprint empowers us to support customers as they adjust their operations to meet economic and

geopolitical shifts, offering solutions that enhance resilience and responsiveness in an ever-evolving market.

As businesses increasingly bring production closer to their core markets, Scott’s product-led solutions remain

critical assets in creating efficient, localised operations. Our strategic presence across North America, Europe,

Australasia, and China allows us to partner closely with companies focused on strengthening their regional supply

chains, helping to enhance their productivity, security, and long-term stability.

As we continue navigating the complexities of the global business environment, Scott’s focus on innovation and

operational excellence has positioned us well to capture growth opportunities.

FY24 HIGHLIGHTS POSITIONED FOR GROWTH

Despite inflationary pressures and rising costs, Scott achieved strong results in FY24, with revenues of $276

million, a 3% increase Yo Y, and a stable EBITDA of $30.2 million. This growth reflects the demand for our solutions

and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives.

Our success is driven by a commitment to building authentic customer partnerships, leveraging cutting-edge

technology, and upholding operational excellence. Looking ahead, we are excited to extend the Scott 2025

strategy through to 2027, providing a foundation for sustainable, long-term growth in the dynamic field of smart,

product-led automation.

Our forward work pipeline remains solid, with $160 million in orders and service agreements across core sectors,

including materials handling (MHL), minerals, and protein. This growth trajectory is supported by innovative,

scalable solutions, such as the BladeStop T300, Poultry Trussing System, Automated Modular Solution for

minerals, a new Modular Automated Guided Vehicle, new palletising solutions, and advanced processing

solutions for both beef and lamb, which are progressing through key development stages.




This diversified product portfolio has provided stability and growth across key markets, supported by our focus

on cultivating authentic customer partnerships, adopting leading-edge technologies, and maintaining high

standards of operational performance.

Additionally, our investments in people and infrastructure remain core to our strategy. This year saw the

successful launch of the new Rocklabs facility, investment in our Czech Republic site and an expansion of our

North American presence. These developments reinforce our commitment to supporting customers and

positioning Scott for future growth as well as responsible and sustainable operations

FIRST SUSTAINABILITY REPORT THREE YEARS INTO OUR ESG STRATEGY

This year marks an important milestone for Scott Technology as we release our first Sustainability Report, a

significant step three years into our Environmental, Societal, Governance (ESG) journey. This report reflects our

evolution as a company, our commitment to Climate-related Disclosures (CRD), and progress on key ESG

initiatives, including setting our ambitious carbon reduction target of 30% by 2030.

We recognise our role in advancing a low-carbon, climate-resilient future and our responsibility to be a positive

force in business. With industry-leading customers across multiple sectors, we understand the impact we can

have in supporting their decarbonisation journeys and the ripple effect this creates across industries.

The Sustainability Report provides an in-depth look at our team’s work in mapping Scope 1 and 2 emissions, a

complex yet essential endeavour across our global operations – and details our progress with the Double

Materiality Assessment, a comprehensive study to ensure our sustainability priorities align with those of our

stakeholders.

By carefully aligning our ESG initiatives with our core purpose and the needs of our stakeholders, we have built

a robust ESG Framework centred on our foundational pillars of People, Purpose, and Place, as outlined in this

report. Among our significant achievements this Sustainability Report highlights a major milestone: reaching a

Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0 in FY24. This accomplishment exemplifies our commitment to safety

and reflects the high-performance culture that is embedded at Scott.

DIVIDEND

In line with our commitment to delivering consistent returns to shareholders while supporting reinvestment for

long-term growth, we have declared a final dividend of 3.0 cents per share, bringing the full-year total to 8.0

cents for FY24.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, we are confident in Scott’s ability to maintain its growth trajectory, bolstered by the recent

appointment of Mike Christman as CEO on 29 October. With his extensive experience and fresh perspective, Mike

is exceptionally well-positioned to lead Scott toward continued success in the years to come.

Our robust order book and the strong, ongoing interest from our global customer base highlight the sustained

demand for our market-leading products and solutions. Moreover, the substantial investments we have made

into the business, along with the strategic initiatives outlined in Scott 2027, provide a solid foundation for

sustained growth in FY25 and beyond. These efforts reflect our dedication to both strengthening our core

capabilities and exploring new avenues for value creation.

In closing, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Board for their guidance and support throughout

the year. With a clear strategy, a talented and dedicated team, and strong leadership at the helm, we are well-

positioned to embark on another year of growth and achievement.

We remain confident in the positive impact we will continue to deliver for our stakeholders and the lasting value

we aim to create across our markets.

Scott Technology Annual Meeting


2024 Executive Address


(incl. presentations by CEO, President Europe & North America, Co-CFOs & Group GM – People, Marketing, ESG

& President of Minerals)



CEO WELCOME

[Mike Christman, CEO]


Good afternoon, everyone. It’s an absolute pleasure to be here today, and I’m incredibly proud and honoured

to stand before you as the new CEO of Scott Technology, alongside some of my management board colleagues.


I joined Scott just a few short weeks ago, relocating from the United Kingdom. It’s been truly inspiring to reflect

on Scott Technology’s rich history, and I must say, I am extremely impressed by the company's innovative

mindset and drive to win. I’ve experienced this first-hand during my visits to various sites, meeting our

exceptional teams.


I now have the privilege of leading Scott into the future—a future of continued technology innovation, deeper

customer relationships, and a focus on the well-being of our people and the planet. My goal is to help Scott

grow and become the employer of choice.


I bring with me extensive experience in automation systems, having led teams of over 2,000 employees and

managed revenues of over NZ$800 million globally. In my previous role as the global Vice President of

Vanderlande Industries, I was responsible for driving market strategies and people development.


Today, since I’ve only been in this role for a short time, I will hand over much of the detail to my executive

management team. Aaron Vanwalleghem will update you on our strategy and performance. Co-CFO Mark

O'Malley will follow with financial insights, and then you’ll hear from Casey Jenkins and Anthony Wesney on

specific business group updates, including ESG achievements.


Before I pass the floor to Aaron, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for his outstanding leadership as Interim

CEO. His efforts ensured stability during a critical transition period, and for that, we are all deeply thankful.



STRATEGY, PERFORMANCE & INNOVATION

[Aaron Vanwalleghem, President North America & Europe]


After a strong FY23, we’re pleased to report continued steady growth in FY24. Revenue reached $276 million,

up 3% despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Our disciplined execution ensured we stayed on

course. EBITDA remains stable at $30.2 million with margins at 27%.


Our focus on core sectors—Materials Handling & Logistics (MHL), Minerals, and Protein—has delivered results,

with these areas now accounting for 85% of total revenue. Looking ahead, we are well-positioned for sustained

growth, with a strong pipeline of $160 million in forward work. This includes major projects in MHL, robust

orders in Minerals and Protein, and secured service contracts.


We are also proud to extend the Scott 2025 Strategy through to 2027. Here are our key focus areas:

• Leading-Edge Technology: Prioritising high-demand solutions like BladeStop, poultry trussing, and our

NexBot AGVs.

• Sustainability Leadership: Driving energy-efficient and environmentally responsible innovations.

• Data Integration: Using data, software and machine learning to optimise innovation.



2


• One Scott Fostering a strong, unified team by investing in upskilling.

• Operational Excellence: Enhancing project delivery to build a reputation for reliability.


At Scott, safety isn’t just a policy—it’s part of our culture. I’m also proud to report a 100% reduction in lost-

time injuries this year. By focusing on proactive measures, such as safety conversations and hazard

identification, we’ve significantly improved outcomes.


Our “Safe Mate” programme and the “Be Safe, Be Well, Be Scott” framework have been central to this

achievement. With the integration of our Be Scott reporting app, engagement is high, further fostering a safety-

first mindset.


Innovation drives everything we do. I also want to highlight exciting innovations which have either launched or

have gone through key development stages:


• Beef Processing: Building on the success of our lamb processing system, we’re taking our expertise to

the beef industry. This new venture is about more than just automation—it’s about creating precision-

engineered solutions that open doors in global markets.


• Energize Project: Just last September, Caterpillar introduced their Automated Energy Transfer System

(Cat AETS) in Arizona. This game-changing technology, which we’re proud to support, is set to

automate charging for large electric mining vehicles, marking a huge step toward greener, more

sustainable operations in the mining industry.


• Poultry Trusser: Our latest trusser system, with a third line deployed by Costco USA, is setting new

standards with world-first technology. This isn’t just another installation; it strengthens Scott’s position

as the go-to partner for industry leaders around the world.


• BladeStop T300 Expansion: With the first installation of our T300, we’re reaching new markets,

including grocery stores and independent butchers. This is a strategic move that broadens our impact

and increases our total addressable market.


• Modular AGVs: Our new modular Automated Guided Vehicles, called NexBots, are built on a flexible,

repeatable platform that enables customised solutions with up to 80% lower engineering costs. This

product-led approach allows us to efficiently tailor solutions to diverse customer needs, giving us a

competitive edge. Set to launch at the end of Scott’s H1 2025, we have already secured pre-orders

from a major North American food processor expanding into France.



FY24 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

[Mark O’Malley, CO-CFO]


Scott has demonstrated financial resilience and discipline, even as we navigated a complex macroeconomic

environment with inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and political uncertainty. Despite these

headwinds, I’m pleased to report that we achieved a 3% revenue growth — a solid result, particularly following

last year’s strong performance.


This growth reflects our ability to balance stability with strategic investments that strengthen our core business

and position us for future opportunities, even in uncertain times.


We reported NPAT of $7.7m, down on prior year. This was partly driven by the one-off costs associated with the

strategic review and restructuring costs aimed at refining our core business focus. Additionally, we incurred

higher depreciation and amortisation expenses due to our investments in expanding operational facilities and

acquiring new fabrication equipment, both to position the business for sustainable growth.


To give you a sense of the scale and purpose of these investments:



3



• Expansion of Czech Republic Site: an additional 3,000 square meters of assembly space to support the

increased output of MHL & BladeStop products. This space will enable us to handle rising volumes

with efficiency.


• New Rocklabs Facility in Auckland: To bolster the growth of our core Rocklabs product range —

covering crushing, pulverising, and dispensing equipment—and to accommodate future growth in our

Automated Modular Solutions portfolio.


These major facility investments go beyond our typical R&D expenditure, reinforcing our commitment to long-

term growth.


Finally, our financing costs increased, a mix of higher effective interest rates and increased net debt levels,

alongside an additional $0.8m deferred tax expense related to the change in legislation around building

depreciation during the period.


We had a closing total net debt position of $20.1m. The increase was driven due to cycling some significant

cash deposits for key projects in prior periods, the strategic focus on investing in our operations, pre-build on

equipment in advance of orders which have subsequently secured in FY25, and higher interest, tax and

dividends paid out during the period.


Operating cash in the second half was strong at $13.7m, offsetting negative cash in the first half. We are

starting to see operating cash normalise following some anomalies in prior periods and we expect this to

continue into FY25.


Scott’s strategy of generating more revenue from proven systems, products, and services has delivered another

strong period of growth:


• Scott’s Core sector has now achieved 19% compound annual growth against FY22 and accounts for

85% of our Group Revenue, up from 79%.


• Key partnerships with global customers have driven a 35% increase in MHL revenue, particularly in the

U.S. and continued expansion in the Europe market.


• The launch of the Rocklabs AMS line boosted Minerals revenue by 19%.


• Despite recent challenges, the Protein division is poised to leverage new opportunities in FY25,

including a significant lamb primal order from JBS in Australia.


• Additionally, Scott’s emphasis on Service and Aftermarket support continues to build a sustainable and

recurring revenue stream, enhancing value for an expanding installed base.


CORE BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

[Aaron Vanwalleghem, President North America & Europe, Casey Jenkins, Anthony Wesney, CO-CFO, Casey

Jenkins, Group GM – People, Marketing, ESG & President of Minerals]


Materials Handling & Logistics: Continued Growth in Strategic Markets, Europe and North

America


We’ve seen strong growth driven by high demand for automated palletisation solutions. We achieved an

impressive 35% revenue growth as Scott’s MHL presence continues to expand across Europe and North

America, with over 40 projects currently in progress.



4


This includes significant milestones like the completion of the ASRS system for Alliance NZ, progress on major

projects for JBS Brooks and a major North American Food Processor, and solid execution in Europe, where we

completed Incom Leone’s multiline palletising system for ice cream in Slovenia.


Our forward order book remains robust at $95 million, and in Q4 FY24, we secured important deals with clients

like Agristo, Danone, Cranswick, and a major global processing company in North America.


In terms of profitability, our MHL margins have grown by 31%, which is a strong result. While our margin

percentage was influenced by the strategic project at JBS Brooks, excluding this, we saw solid margin growth—

a reflection of our strategic focus on enhancing profitability in MHL.


Minerals: New Products Drive Revenue Growth


Our Minerals business has achieved strong growth of 19%. This growth has been driven by the positive delivery

of Rocklabs first Automated Modular Solution (AMS) for Minerals Resources Ltd (MRL) and Caterpillar’s

automated energy transfer systems, known as Energise.


Despite macroeconomic challenges and price pressures in the global commodities market, we’ve been able to

grow our Minerals sector by introducing new products, engaging blue-chip customers, and strengthening our

distributor network.


It’s been a solid year for Rocklabs standard equipment; our crushers, pulverisers and splitters, although we did

see softer demand for our spare parts business due to reduced exploration and lower sample throughput in

commercial labs.


This year we have strategic invested in our new, world-class Rocklabs facility in Auckland. This not only allows

us to grow our core product range, but it will also enable a stronger focus on product innovation and positions

us for future growth, especially with AMS.


In terms of margins, we’ve seen a 5% growth overall. However, there was a slight dip in margin percentage,

mainly due to a shift in our product mix towards new solutions, added development costs for AMS, and the

softer demand for parts.


Protein: Global Macroeconomics Bring Reductions in Demand


Revenue in our Protein sector has seen a 21% decline, to $60 million for FY24. This was largely due to tough

conditions in the North American beef market and challenges in the lamb markets across Australia and New

Zealand.


These market dynamics impacted our lamb equipment and BladeStop Saw volumes, especially in the second

half of the year. However, our service teams achieved 20% growth, focusing on delivering strong customer

value and servicing our expanding installed base. A big contributor was New Zealand, where a number of

Service Level Agreements were signed with major lamb clients. This not only boosted revenue this year but

also positions us well for continued aftermarket success.


The drop in equipment sales volumes and shifts in product mix did put some pressure on margins. But looking

forward, we're seeing positive signs, particularly in Australia, where rising confidence in the lamb market is

sparking capital investment. A prime example is our recent lamb primal order for JBS.


In North America and Europe, there’s growing interest in our Poultry Trussers and BladeStop products across

meat processing, retail, and industrial segments. And with Mark Host, our new VP of Protein Sales, joining in

June, we’re building a strong sales pipeline for both existing products and the new T300, targeting

supermarkets, butcheries, and grocery stores.





5


Service: Focus on Service Strategy Provides Sustainable Revenue Growth


Our Service and Aftermarket business wasn’t just strong in our Protein business but was a significant

contributor to Scott’s financial performance during the year.


This segment is now contributing 28% to our total revenue and is truly transformative for Scott. It is not just a

reliable, recurring revenue stream—it is a cornerstone of our long-term growth.


With our installed product base expanding, more customers are relying on our expert technicians and

consumables to keep their operations running smoothly. This translates into more customer touchpoints,

stronger relationships, and new opportunities for innovation. Our Service & Aftermarket business is set to be a

powerhouse for Scott’s future.



SUSTAINABILITY PEOPLE & PLANET

[Casey Jenkins, Group GM – People, Marketing, ESG & President of Minerals]


Today is a significant milestone for Scott. Three years into our ESG journey, we are proud to present our first

Sustainability Report alongside our Climate-related Disclosures.


Our commitment to sustainability is about taking responsibility for our social and environmental impacts, while

ensuring sustainable profitable growth for all stakeholders.


Since launching our ESG strategy in FY21, we have made consistent progress, driven by strong engagement

throughout the business and ongoing support from the Board. I am proud to share some of this progress with

you today.


Carbon Management Plan: 30% Reduction of Scope 1 & 2 Emissions by 2030


Over the past 12 months, we have been diligently working on our carbon management plan, collecting, and

analysing data to measure our emissions for both FY23 and FY24.


Through this work, today we can announce our carbon reduction target of 30 by 30. This ambitious target will

see us work towards a 30% reduction in our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2030.


Our focus on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reflects our commitment to taking immediate, actionable steps, as

these are the areas where Scott has direct control and visibility.


We also recognise the importance of tackling Scope 3, and we are working hard to close these gaps to achieve

a truly comprehensive carbon management strategy.


By holding ourselves accountable to our 30 by 30 goal, we are not only future proofing our business but also

driving meaningful change that will benefit generations to come. It is another step towards building a more

sustainable, responsible and climate resilient future.


ESG Framework: Evolving, People, Purpose & Place Strategy


We recognised the importance of working closely with our broader ecosystem. Recently, we conducted an

external materiality assessment to ensure our sustainability efforts are aligned with stakeholder priorities.


As part of this assessment, Scott gathered valuable insights through surveys and interviews with a range of key

external stakeholders which included shareholders, customers, suppliers, employees, Directors, and industry

bodies.

Culture of Engagement and Collaboration Drive Excellence


At Scott people truly are at the heart of our success. This year we are proud to achieve an impressive employee

engagement score of 85%, up from and already high 83% last year, with an outstanding participation rate of 80%.


We continue to invest in our people. An example of this is our focus on leadership development. This year 37

employees in New Zealand completed a comprehensive 16-week leadership development programme. Our team

in China ran a similar program and we are now preparing to roll out this training to our other regions.


We are also committed to building diverse and talented teams. We understand that diverse minds create diverse

solutions, which is critical in continuing to deliver world leading technology.


This year, we awarded our second Scott Technology Women in Engineering Scholarship in partnership with the

University of Canterbury, supporting more women into engineering and STEM pathways. Alongside this, we offer

a range of career pathways, and this year had 27 team members involved in graduate, apprenticeship, or

internship programs.


Our people are the core of our business, and these initiatives are critical to ensuring Scott’s ongoing success.


CLOSING REMARKS

[Mike Christman, CEO]


There has been some significant progress and investments made across the company this past year, and it is

hugely impressive. Let me finish off on a few key points:


• First, our 2027 strategy is designed to leverage our proven expertise, focusing on large, addressable

markets where we can make the biggest impact.


• We've embedded commercial partnerships with top-tier, blue-chip customers, which continues to be a

cornerstone of our approach.


• At the heart of Scott is a highly engaged global team, supported by a well-invested operating footprint

that enables us to consistently deliver value.


• Safety remains a top priority for us, along with rapidly evolving our ESG (Environmental, Social,

Governance) progress.


• We’re also focused on advancing the productisation of scalable and repeatable solutions, ensuring

we’re well-positioned for growth and market expansion.


• Finally, it’s worth noting the consistent top-line growth trend we’ve maintained over the last four

years, which is a testament to the collective efforts of everyone at Scott.



7


The talented team have set up a very strong foundation for future growth, and I’m excited to build on this

momentum as we move forward together.


Thank you.

Rocklabs AMS and Energise drive growth of +19%

•Strong focus on execution for Rocklabs Automated Modular Solution (AMS) for Minerals

Resources Ltd (MRL) and the automated energy transfer systems (AETS) for Caterpillar,

known as Energise.

•Growth in Scott minerals sector despite macro-economic conditions for the minerals

market and price pressure in several global commodities. Growth for Scott has been

achieved through introduction of new products, blue-chip customers and leveraging a

large existing installed base and focus on distributor expansion and growth.

•Solid year for Rocklabs standard equipment but softer demand for part sales with

reduced exploration and sample throughput in the labs.

•Strategic investment in a new world-class facility for Rocklabs in Auckland positions the

business for further growth and enables expansion of AMS as a product.

Margin grows 5% but dip in margin % due to mix

•Driven by a shift in product mix towards new solutions, added development costs for

AMS and a softer period of Rocklabs parts sales with reduced sample throughput via

mineral exploration in the labs.

PROTEIN

Scott Technology Limited FY24 Results | 17

to build in Q4 FY24 along with launch of T300.

•Strong period for service up 20% with focus on customer value proposition and

servicing the growing installed base.

•Highlights included commissioning of Silver Fern Farms Primal solution, a lamb loin

deboner for ANZCO and repeat poultry trussing units for Costco.

•Margin impacted by reduced volumes and change in mix.

•Strategically important lamb primal order secured in Oct-24 for JBS in Australia which

will positively contribute to FY25.
