Metroglass provides 1H25 results (unaudited)


Please refer to our half year results for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

Our revenue was down to $114 million, but in line with what we presented at the AGM,

translating to a loss of $5 million. Our net debt increased from $53m to $55.2m, again as we

suggested at AGM.

As predicted, there has been a fall in demand across the sectors we operate in. We are

confident however that it doesn’t reflect in market share, in so much as our revenue drop is less

than the market fall and we have in fact increased market share.

When I think about the business performance, I do not dwell a great deal on the market. Our

focus has been on our turnaround and the restructuring, reducing our cost base and our market

positioning for success in the future. We are focused on getting quality product to our

customers in full and on time.

Of course, we need the right capital base, which we have talked about. The business has too

much debt for this stage of the economic cycle. It also continues to carry too much debt for

what is a smaller NZ business, having lost market share and consequently revenue over the last

few years in a very different competitive landscape.

Our primary responsibility is to understand and build a predictable and profitable business. We

will not ask our shareholders for more capital to reduce debt, without confidence in our ability

to deliver future returns, and we are confident.

Our turnaround plan has been simple. Restate and confirm Me t ro’s commitment to be the best

quality processed glass and the highest service levels in the market. With the pressure on our

selling price, it was hard to fight for our market share with low service levels. In addition, we

must reduce our cost and financial shape to ensure that we are ready and profitable at the

bottom of the market cycle.

We have taken cost out where we can and continue to remain committed to this. We have

finalised the closure of two larger processing factories and relocated and scaled into a smaller



Page | 2

footprint with another one pending. We have taken circa $3 million of cost out in FY25 and a

further $3 million looking forward to FY26.

We have been active and conscious in our choices about service offerings that do not add

directly to our customers’ needs, bringing about a leaning of the head office structure, with

significant cost savings as we serve our immediate customer service functions as the extension

of our plant. Our focus is on customers and product, in full - on time, to specification. We

have come some way but we have further plans and we still have a great deal of work to do.

Our service delivery is now at all-time highs. I have personally received feedback that our

customer satisfaction has improved across the c ou n t r y, from Whangarei to Invercargill. Our

customers are very engaged and we are beginning to re-state our service and quality o f f e r,

which in turn we are confident will increase market share.

Since June we have been maintaining consistent DIFOT of 90%+ in both NZ sites, to match the

benchmarks set and maintained in our Australian plants.

New Zealand DIFOT and throughput


Overall the Australian residential construction market remains soft, with market feedback that

a recovery is expected to be inline with improving consent data, mid next ye a r. NSW continues

to push into the market, as penetration rates continue to show promise and offset some of the

market volume reduction, against the reduced housing starts. The double glaze penetration

gains are on the back of the new housing insulation standards. Prior capital spend to increase

NSW capacity will be fundamental to the local supply.

AGG has continued to perform well despite the market headwinds, but has not been immune to

the domestic construction downturn. Revenue and earnings have reduced over the last several

months, however an upturn has been seen in November from this trend, as the business shifts

to supplement volume outside of the softened core residential market.

AGG’s November trajectory appears to have foreshadowed December’s demand with similar

positivity, notwithstanding pre-ordering for the imminent seasonal close.

I talked about our April loss in NZ at the AGM. Every month since our performance has improved

and is now profitable. We expect MPG ’s second half loss to be much reduced as a result of our

actions and we have confidence that as the cost and revenue initiatives flow through early next

calendar year we will start FY26 strongly.

Our banking syndicate remains supportive, continuing to ensure the company has the time and

space to raise capital and complete the NZ turnaround. Our facilities have been extended to

the end of February 2025 as we work through the complexities associated with the announced

transactions as well as consider appropriate alternatives. There is more on our plans to follow,

but it is fair to say we have confidence to ask shareholders to invest again.

I am very grateful to our team. They have sacrificed overtime, gone without pay rises and yet

worked harder than ever to deliver the performance we need to satisfy our customers. We are in

good shape and getting better despite these difficult times.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Reporting entity

These consolidated interim financial statements are for Metro Performance Glass Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries

(together, ‘the Group’). The Group supplies processed flat glass and related products primarily to the residential and commercial

building sectors. The Company is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes and has operations and sales in New Zealand

and Australia.

Statutory base

The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The address of its registered office is 5 Lady

Fisher Place, East Tamaki, Auckland.

The incorporation date for Metro Performance Glass Limited was 30 May 2014 and as part of a group reorganisation was listed on

the New Zealand Securities Exchange (NZSX) on 29 July 2014.

The comparative trading results presented encompass the six-month period from 1 April 2023 to 30 September 2023.

Basis of preparation

These consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 28 November 2024.

The Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). They comply with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS)

34 Interim Financial Reporting and with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard (NZ IAS) 34 Interim Financial

Reporting.

These consolidated interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand. These

condensed financial statements do not include all the information required for full financial statements, and consequently should be

read in conjunction with the full financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 March 2024. The same accounting policies,

presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these condensed financial statements as were applied in the

preparation of the Group’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Metro Performance Glass Limited is a limited liability company registered under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial

Markets Conduct reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial statements of the Group have

been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.

The Group’s revenue and profitability follow a seasonal pattern with lower sales and net profits typically achieved in the second half of

the financial year as a result of lower sales generated during the Christmas shutdown period.

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain financial

assets and financial liabilities at fair value.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Metro Performance Glass

Limited (‘the company’ or ‘the parent entity’) as at 30 September 2024 and the results of all subsidiaries for the period then ended.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. A subsidiary is a controlled entity of Metro Performance Glass if Metro

Performance Glass is exposed and has a right to variable returns from the entity and is able to use its power over the entity to affect

those returns. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated

from the date that control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised

losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provided evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred.

(continued)

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars which is the Company’s functional and presentation

currency and rounded where necessary to the nearest thousand dollars.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange

gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period end exchange rates of

monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they

relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a

foreign operation.

The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are

translated into the presentation currency as follows:

• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

• income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange

rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which

case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and

• all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

• on consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and the borrowings and

other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign

operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified

to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income has been prepared so that all components are stated exclusive of

GST. All items in the consolidated interim statement of financial position are stated net of GST, with the exception of receivables and

payables, which include GST invoiced.

Standards, Amendments and Interpretations to Existing Standards that are not yet Effective

There are no published new or amended standards or interpretations that become effective on or after 1 October 2024 that would

have a material impact on the Group’s consolidated interim financial statements.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations

of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal

the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in each accounting note as appropriate.

The critical accounting estimates and judgements at 30 September 2024 include:

- going concern (refer: going concern disclosure below)

6

Metro Glass Interim Financial Statements

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (unaudited)
(continued)

Going concern

In preparing these financial statements, the Directors have considered various uncertainties facing the Group and its ability to

continue as a going concern. These uncertainties are outlined below.

The net debt increased from $53.0 million at 31 March 2024 to $55.2 million at 30 September 2024. At 30 September 2024, the Group’s

banking facility stands at $75m, of which $62.8m (31 March 2024 $57.9m) has been drawn down and presented as current liabilities in

the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position with a maturity date of 25 October 2024. As a result, total current liabilities exceeded

total current assets at 31 March 2024 by $28.7m (31 March 2024 $24.0m).

The Directors have worked closely with the bank syndicate for the last 12 months and they continue to provide support for the

Boards intention to raise capital from a combination of existing and new shareholders. The Directors taking advice from our capital

market advisor remain confident a capital raising will be successful. Based on these factors, the Directors concluded the Group’s

financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis, though there are uncertainties about the successful execution of a

sufficient capital raise and the ability to reach an agreement with the bank syndicate for renewed loan facilities on mutually acceptable

terms including setting financial covenants that the Group can achieve.

The Directors continue to focus on debt reduction and while the board will continue to keep all options open its intention remains to

retain its investment in AGG and progress a capital raise. This will allow reduction in debt levels, create the conditions for AGG to grow

and improve the New Zealand business.

On 12 September 2024, the Directors announced that the company had entered into conditional agreements with Cowes Bay Group

Pty Ltd. Under the terms sheets, Cowes Bay would become a shareholder in Metro through a placement of new shares, provide a

commitment to invest further capital in the Company’s planned equity capital raise, and become the company’s main lender. The

terms sheets provide for Cowes Bay to subscribe for 27.8 million new ordinary shares in Metro at a price of 7 cents per share, raising

approximately $1.9 million. On completion Cowes Bay will hold a 13% shareholding in the Group. Cowes Bay is also entering into an

agreement with Metro’s existing banking syndicate to step into the lending syndicate and refinance the company’s loan facilities. Under

the terms sheets with Cowes Bay, Metro’s loan facilities would be extended to 31 October 2027.

The agreement with the banks, term sheets and resulting transactions are conditional on satisfaction of confirmatory due diligence by

Cowes Bay and completion of final documentation. The final documentation has not been completed. During this process the directors

have continued to look at other options for continued funding, including with the existing syndicate. They have taken feedback from

shareholders, both during the AGM and further to this announcement, to ensure the best value for shareholders and the right debt

terms and quantum of equity raise.

Metro announced at the end of October the extension of existing banking facilities to the end of February to allow the time to work

towards the best outcome for the company and it’s shareholders.

The Directors consider these uncertainties, which are future events that are not fully within their control, represent material

uncertainties affecting the going concern position of the Group that may cast significant doubt on the Groups ability to continue as a

going concern and therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

However for the reasons outlined previously the financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required if the Group

is unable to continue as a going concern.

2 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

2.1 Segment information

Operating segments of the Group at 30 September 2024 have been determined based on financial information that is regularly

reviewed by the board in conjunction with the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, collectively known as the Chief Operating

Decision-Maker for the purpose of allocating resources, assessing performance and making strategic decisions.

Substantially all of the Group’s revenue is derived from the sale of glass and related products and services. This revenue is split by

channel only at the revenue level into Commercial Glazing, Residential and Retrofit. Commercial glazing revenue reflects sales through

four specific commercial glazing operations in New Zealand. Retrofit revenue reflects sales through four specific retrofit operations in

New Zealand and the retrofit channel sales from all (Metro Direct) branches across New Zealand. Residential revenue reflects all other

sales channels. The allocation of sales between residential and commercial can be difficult as the Group does not always know the

end-use application. Following the acquisition of Australian Glass Group Pty Ltd (AGG) on 1 September 2016 the Group operates in two

geographic segments, New Zealand and Australia.

Group costs consist of insurance, professional services, director fees and expenses, listing fees and share incentive scheme costs.

Significant items are a non-GAAP measure and are based on the Group’s internal policy as follows. Transactions considered for

classification as significant items are material restructuring costs, acquisition and disposal costs, impairment or reversal of

impairment of assets, business integration, and transactions or events outside of the Group’s ongoing operations that have a

significant impact on reported profit.

Impairment of New Zealand intangible assets

Additional detail on impairment charges can be seen in Note 5.0 Intangible Assets.

Restructure of the NZ operations

On 18 November 2022 the Group announced the initiation of a cost out programme to ensure that the business capacity and

resources are appropriate to service demand as the construction sector cycle changes, including a comprehensive review of its

organisational structure and manufacturing footprint. This review culminated in the closure of the manufacturing facility in Bay of

Plenty in December 2022, closure of the hardware procurement function in February 2023, the closure of the Wellington manufacturing

facility in February 2024, and other staff restructuring costs. The costs of this programme are included in the ‘Restructure of NZ

operations’ significant item. The nature of the costs incurred include redundancy payments, loss on disposal of inventory, and costs

incurred transporting and re-commissioning assets.

Refinancing, divestment, capital raise, equity investment and takeover related expenses

The divestment costs include those professional service costs incurred for the investigation of the Australian business sale process.

On 6 May 2024 the Group announced that it will progress a capital raise to further reduce its debt level. On 12 September 2024, the

Group announced a conditional agreement for extended and revised funding facilities, significant equity investment, and an updated

plan for capital raise by way of pro rata offer. The capital raise and refinancing costs include legal and professional fees incurred in the

exploration of this activity.

During May and June 2023 the Group had received confidential enquiries from Masfen Securities Limited and affiliates about the

possibility of acquiring all the shares in the Company. On 17 July 2023, the Group received an unsolicited, non-binding, indicative proposal

from a consortium led by Takutai Limited and supported by Masfen Securities Limited. Takeover related expenses relate to professional

and legal expenses incurred related to this activity.

3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the six months ended 30 September 2024, the Group acquired assets with a total cost of $1.6 million (September 2023:

$2.0 million) and disposed of assets with a total book value of $0.05 million (September 2023: $0.07 million). There have been no

material changes in the estimated useful life of key items of plant and machinery. The depreciation expense for the six months ended

30 September 2024 was $4.4 million (September 2023: $4.4 million).

4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps and forward exchange contracts

These financial instruments were measured at fair value based on valuations provided by Westpac Banking Corporation and ASB Bank

Limited. All significant inputs were based on observable market data and accordingly have been categorised as level 2. At balance date,

the fair value of forward exchange contracts are $0.1 million liability (March 2024: $0.2 million asset).

The movements in fair value are disclosed in cash flow hedges (net of tax) through other comprehensive income, with a gain

recognised on forward exchange contracts of $0.1 million (30 September 2023: $0.0 million gain), no movement on interest rate swaps

(30 September 2023: $0.1 million loss), and a gain of $0.1 million on the net investment hedge (30 September 2023: $0.1 million loss).

5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Group’s segments have been classified as New Zealand and Australia aligning with the way the business is reviewed. The

New Zealand goodwill balance arose prior to the Group’s Initial Public Offering (IPO) in July 2014.The Australian goodwill arose in

August 2016 with the acquisition of AGG. Goodwill balances are as follows:

To ensure that the intangible assets are not carried at above their recoverable amounts, impairment testing for both CGUs is

completed at least annually for goodwill with indefinite lives, and where there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

Impairment tests are performed by assessing the recoverable amount of each individual asset or CGU. The recoverable amount is

determined as the higher amount calculated under a value-in-use (VIU) or a fair value less costs of disposal (FVLCD) calculation. Both

methods utilise pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial projections approved by the directors. The impairment tests of the

Australian cash-generating-unit (CGU) and New Zealand CGU were performed at 31 March 2024 as part of the annual tests. Goodwill

and intangible assets were reviewed at 30 September 2024, with no indicators of impairment noted and no changes made to the

estimated recoverable amount of goodwill.
