Resilient, diversified business model continues to grow value through the cycle
Key HY24 financial metrics

• EBIT $31.0m (+3%)
• NPBT $26.9m (+5%)
• NPAT $19.3m (+4%)
• Earnings per share 21.8 cps (+2%)
• Q2 dividend declared at 7.0 cps
Highlights
• Record net profit before tax (NPBT) of $26.9m for HY24 (HY23 $25.7m), 5% higher than the same period
last year, proving resilience through the cycle during a significant retail downturn
• Reaffirm September 2024 guidance that the business is on track for another record result for FY25,
exceeding $50m NPBT target, which was first communicated in [xx date]
• Forecast FY25 dividend of at least 27 cps up 6% on pcp and capping a decade of strongly growing
dividends from 10 cps in FY15
• Earning diversification proven again, with lower Auto Retail revenue offset by strong results for Finance,
Insurance and Credit Management, as expected
• Consumer sentiment downturn put pressure on vehicle prices, reducing margins during the period, but
now showing signs of recovery
• Resilient used car volumes, despite new car demand plummeting
• Motivated team with high levels of employee engagement and share ownership
• Sustained high performance acknowledged by a range of awards for the company, including finalist in
Company of the Year 2024 in Deloitte Top 200 Awards
Turners Automotive Group (NZX/ASX: TRA) produced a strong result for the six months to September 30, 2024, in
the face of extremely challenging macro market conditions, demonstrating that the company’s strategy to enable
it to grow through the cycle, thanks to its diversified business model, and to maintain healthy dividends, is
proving effective.
CEO Todd Hunter said, “During one of the deepest downturns in New Zealand retail, that required us to reduce
used car prices between March and August to meet the market, the agility and resilience of the business showed
through with the natural stabilisers of our annuities businesses in finance and insurance, offsetting the pressure
on Auto Retail. This demonstrates that our strategy to build a business that can grow and deliver value through
the cycle is paying off. This result reflects not only the effectiveness of our diversified model, but also the quality
and skill of our team which responded in an agile fashion to market conditions to ensure that, while margins were
squeezed in Auto Retail, volumes were slightly up and we continued to grow market share and deliver value for
our customers.”
Financial results
Group Revenue of $209.0m was down -2% on PCP, driven by a 6% decline in Auto retail somewhat offset by an
increases in Finance, Insurance and Credit Management. Our diversified business model supported EBIT growth
of +3% on PCP to $31.0m. Segment profit from Finance (+59%), Insurance (+8%) and Credit Management (+2%),
offset a -18% decline in Auto Retail. This again proves the resilience of our model.
Reported NPBT for the six months to September, 2024, rose 5% to $26.9m (HY24: $25.7m). Earnings per share for
HY25 was 21.8M up 2% (HY24 21.2 cps). The Board paid a Q1 dividend of 6.0 cps, and has declared a Q2 dividend
of 7.0 cps, projecting a full year imputed dividend of at least 27 cps, based on our dividend policy to pay out 60-
70% of net profit after tax (NPAT).

Chairman Grant Baker said, “Growing profit in this environment is a considerable achievement, and Turners has
demonstrated it can improve returns to shareholders over time thanks to its consciously-developed, diversified
business model that offers upside in downturns as well as periods of economic expansion. We have more than
doubled dividends over the past decade, continuously striving for record results, as well as continuing to invest
for future growth. We have considerable opportunity still before us as a trusted partner for customers in the life
cycle of vehicle ownership.”
Key Drivers of HY25 result
• Auto Retail: volumes up but margins on owned stock down as market demand weakened sharply,
prompting a material pricing contraction from March through August, although this is now recovering
• Finance: The interest rate environment is becoming a tail wind in Finance with net interest margin
rebuilding, and arrears (2.8%) performing significantly better than market levels (6.4%)
• Insurance: Gross Written Premium was flat on PCP but margins continue to improve. Claims ratio is
being well managed. Claims cost inflation has dissipated.
Q3 Update
• Auto retail: Vehicle pricing strengthening and vehicle margins improving.
• Finance: Arrears performing well and originations starting to lift. Benefit of easing OCR still to come in
the second half of the year.
• Insurance: Claims continue to track below expectations, with policy sales holding up well.
• Credit: Corporate debt load recovering slower than expected, but SME debt load increasing quickly. NZ-
wide credit metrics continue to deteriorate which amounts to a tail wind for second half.
Outlook - H2 trading expected to be more positive for all divisions
With signs that Auto Retail is through the sharp pricing contraction (March – August, 2024), the second half of
FY25 offers more positive trading and margin conditions than the first half. The pipeline of branch expansion
opportunities is growing, and development phase of new branches is going well whilst the incremental benefit
won’t accrue in this financial year.
A strong Auto Retail business is proving to have a great halo effect for Finance and Insurance. The interest cycle is
moving into a phase that will provide a tail wind for Finance. The strength of the Turners brand continues to
grow, along with continuous improvement in systems, technology and people. Our acquisition of My Auto Shop,
as well as distribution agreements in Insurance, is proving there is opportunity for considerable further leverage
across the network.
The company is on track for a record result for FY25, expected to exceed its $50m NPBT target.

Our key risks are narrowing...
47 • HY25 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•Automotive Retail – we are in a build phase over the next 18 months as several new sites are under development. We will continue to push hard
for the transition of wholesale to retail and see upside coming from this strategy. Vehicle pricing has stabilised and seems to be lifting in Q3 and
margins improving. Overall sales volumes continue to track ahead of FY24.
•Finance – Maintaining credit discipline remains a key priority. We are seeing the expected improved performance in FY25 as a result of lower
than expected impairments and credit losses and improvements in interest margin. Seeing growth in origination in 3Q25.
•Insurance – Earned premium holding up very well and claims ratios stable. Contribution from new distribution arrangements and direct sales
expected in 2H25.
•Credit Management – Our payment bank is rebuilding as debt load increases from the tightening economic conditions and the resultant impact
on consumer arrears. We are well positioned for the next stage of the NZ credit cycle.
Segment Outlook
48 • HY25 RESULTS PRESENTATION
We expect to exceed our $50M NPBT goal in FY25 and deliver another record full year profit result.
Some risks remain regarding the pace of recovery in consumer demand and the speed of economic rebuild.
Guidance
49 • HY25 RESULTS PRESENTATION
•A very strong result despite challenging macroeconomic conditions, and on track for a record result in FY25 and set to
exceed the $50m NPBT target.
•The deliberate work to strengthen the business has paid off, including investments in resilience, agile stock purchasing,
branch expansion, loan book quality, and cost discipline.
•H1 has played out as expected, with profit composition changing due to previously signaled headwinds in Auto Retail (lower
car margins and no weather-related boost this half), but largely offset by gains in Oxford Finance (recovering interest
margins and stable-to-improving arrears).
•Trading conditions in H2 are expected to be more favourable than H1.
•The pipeline of branch expansion opportunities is growing, and the development phase of new branches is progressing
well.
•A strong Auto Retail business has a positive halo effect on finance and insurance. The easing interest rate cycle serves as
a tailwind for Finance and a headwind for Insurance but remains an overall positive for the group.
•Turners has created significant strength in its brand, systems, technology, and people, and we look forward to leveraging
these assets to grow My Auto Shop.

Securitisation
The Group has two Trusts under which it securitises finance receivables. The Trusts are special purpose entities set up solely for the
purpose of purchasing finance receivables originated by the finance sector. The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited has been
appointed Trustee and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee for both Trusts. The Group is the sole beneficiary of both
Trusts.
The Group has power over the Trusts, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trusts and the ability to use
its power over the Trusts to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trusts. Consequently, the Group controls the Trusts and
has consolidated the Trusts into the Group's financial statements.
The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do
not qualify for derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust)
The Trust has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) which is secured by finance receivables sold to the Trust.
The facility is $355m and with a 1-year term that will be renewed annually. BNZ fund up to 90% (30 September 2023 & 31 March 2024:
90%) of the purchase price of the finance receivables with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group.
During the reporting period $105.6m finance receivables were sold to the Trust (30 September 2023: $96.4m; 31 March 2024: $202.4m)
and in the six months ended 30 September 2023, the Trust sold $100.0m finance receivables to the Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust.
As at 30 September 2024 the carrying value of finance receivables in the Trust was $307.4m (30 September 2023: $247.6m; 31 March
2023: $281.2m).
Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust (the 2023-1 Trust)
The 2023-1 Trust is a closed pool trust and issued $100m notes comprising $70m Class A1 notes and $20.7m Class A2 notes both rated
AAAsf (Fitch) and $9.3m unrated Class B notes, the Class A2 notes, and B notes are held by the Group. In the six months ended 30
September 2023, the 2023-1 Trust purchased $100.0m finance receivables from the Trust. As at the 31 September 2024 the carrying
value of finance receivables in the 2023-1 Trust was $52.1m (30 September 2023: $96.4m; 31 March 2024: $72.9m).
