ASX CEO CONNECT PRESENTATION

9

•Two highly complementary businesses that together created

a more diversified, leading RV travel company

•The merger expanded thl’s operations in Australia and acted

as an entry into the Canadian market

•The merger achieved ongoing cost-out synergies and

brought together the combined expertise of two leaders in

the global RV industry, with combined operations in:

⎼RV rentals

⎼Manufacturing of RVs and other specialist vehicles in

New Zealand and Australia

⎼RV sales

⎼RV retail accessories

⎼Tourism attractions and businesses in New Zealand

ASX CEO CONNECT PRESENTATION
The RV industry has a positive long-term outlook

Changing demographics and travel preferences should benefit the RV travel category for the coming decades

11

Interest in RV travel from younger generations

The median age of a first-time RV buyer in the USA is 32,

down from 41 in 2020

1

Benefiting from an aging population

The number of people aged 65 years or older worldwide is

expected to double by 2050

2

RV travel is a small percentage of global tourism today

Travel and tourism is expected to grow by 5.8% a year to 2032,

outpacing growth in the overall economy

3

Shifts toward eco-tourism and sustainable travel

Travelers seeking more unique experiences and

simpler, independent travel

•With international travel stopping in 2020, both thl

and Apollo adjusted fleet sizes to fit each domestic

market

•While international tourism arrivals have increased in

recent years, they remain 8 to 16% below pre-COVID-

19 arrivals in our primary markets. This gap is even

more significant when focusing on holiday travel only

•We have grown fleet by ~10% each year in the last two

years however our fleet is well below our previous

peak of 12,000+ vehicles

•As the global leader in RV rentals, we are investing in

fleet growth to meet RV rental demand as it recovers

and expect to continue to growth for several years to

come

ASX CEO CONNECT PRESENTATION
Our current challenge: Consumer confidence is impacting demand for recreational vehicles

We anticipate that demand will recover once broader economic conditions improve

13

•Challenging macro environment has impacted consumer

confidence and adversely affected demand for consumer

discretionary goods like RVs, boats, motorbikes and new

cars

•This has placed pressure on thl’s earnings, especially in the

Australian and North American markets, affecting RV sales

volumes and gross margins for FY24 and FY25

•Although RV sales are currently at a low point in the cycle,

we remain confident that there has been no structural

change, and that the RV sales market should improve over

time as overall consumer confidence increases

•Industry expectations in the USA are for a 7% increase in

wholesale RV shipments in 2025, and our experience has

been that US market trends tend to lead 6 to 12 months

ahead of other markets

ASX CEO CONNECT PRESENTATION
We are moving forward with new cost-out and optimisation initiatives

Targeting cost-out and efficiencies delivering a net profit after tax improvement of at least NZ$12M in FY27

14

•We believe the integration phase of the merger with Apollo

Tourism & Leisure has been implemented well and are

shifting to a new phase in 2025 to maximise and optimise

•We see an opportunity to deliver an improvement of at

least NZ$12 million in net profit after tax in FY27, primarily

through:

⎼Cost reduction across multiple categories

⎼Reduced depreciation from optimisation of fleet

production and procurement

•We see this NZ$12 million opportunity as incremental to

other opportunities to improve performance

ASX CEO CONNECT PRESENTATION
We believe thl has a positive future

Driven by three key factors: growth in international tourism, a recovery in RV sales demand and achievement of our cost-

out and optimisation targets

15

•While near-term earnings are being impacted by the

current difficulties in RV sales, we are confident that thl is

positioned well for future growth

•For this financial year, we are focused on increasing

underlying NPAT compared to FY24’s underlying net profit

after tax of NZ$51.8 million

•Beyond that, we see the three key factors supporting thl’s

growth outlook as:

1.the ongoing recovery of international tourism, rental

demand and rental fleet growth

2.the vehicle sales market returning to normal

conditions

3.delivering on our target to provide at least a $12 million

improvement in net profit after tax in FY27 through

cost reduction and optimisation
