Skellerup reports record first-half NPAT
Skellerup announced today unaudited net profit after tax of $24.2 million for the six months ended
31 December 2024 – a record result and an increase of 12% on the prior comparative period (pcp).
Key points for the six months ending 31 December 2024
Revenue of $165.3 million, up 5% on the pcp
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $35.0 million, a record result and up 11% on the
pcp
o Industrial Division EBIT of $22.4 million, down 2% on the pcp
o Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million, up 31% on the pcp
o Corporate costs of $2.9 million, down 7% on the pcp
Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $24.2 million, a record result and up 12% on the pcp
Operating cash flow of $32.2 million, down $4.3 million on the pcp
Net debt of $20.4 million, a $6.0 million reduction on the prior half year
Interim dividend of 9.0 cents per share (an increase of 0.5 cps), up 6% on the pcp
CEO Graham Leaming commented: “We are pleased with the record first-half result underpinned by
an expected but significant lift from our Agri Division, which reverted to a more normal seasonal
pattern with stronger sales of dairy rubberware consumables in international markets. Our Industrial
Division delivered a solid result, despite some volatility in US demand during Q2 associated with the
US election.”
Industrial Division
Skellerup’s Industrial Division EBIT of $22.4 million was down 2% on the pcp. “Revenue was up 5%
with growth from increased sales into solar roofing applications in Europe and hygiene applications
in the US more than offsetting the continued slowdown in the Australian construction market, the
timing of sales into the mining sector in Australia and lower demand for high-performance marine
foam products in the US. Sales into potable and waste-water applications were flat with growth in
Australia offset by softer demand in the US. The product mix and higher international freight costs
caused a slight reduction in margin, which we expect to reverse in the second half of the year.
Indirect costs were up on the pcp due to increased personnel costs and improved warehouse
facilities to support future growth.”
Agri Division
Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million was up 31% on the pcp. Leaming noted, “Revenue was
up 4% due to increased sales of dairy rubberware consumables to international customers. The
increase was largely anticipated due to the prior period being negatively impacted by customer
destocking. The increase in production to meet demand was delivered efficiently, aided by
investment in process improvements and equipment, delivering improved gross margins. Footwear
sales were softer in the first half, particularly in New Zealand where economic conditions impacted
on consumer spend. Indirect costs were up due to investing in development capability to ensure
future growth.
Cash
Group operating cash flow of $32.2 million was down 12% on the pcp. Leaming said, “We are a
global business with ~80% of our revenue generated from sales into international markets and we
manufacture our products across the world. We increased inventory to manage the impact of longer
shipping times caused by disruption to shipping routes in the Middle East and to mitigate against the
risk of port strikes in the US and the impact of the possible increase in tariffs being imposed for
products sold into the US. Consequently, our operating cash flow was slightly below the record
result achieved in the pcp.” Net debt remains low at $20.4 million, 23% lower than the pcp.
Outlook
Skellerup guided for FY25 NPAT to be in the range of $52 to $56 million. Leaming said: “Global
economic conditions are mixed and geo-political uncertainty continues, making forecasting more
difficult than usual. However, our business remains well placed, with growth from existing and new
products expected to more than offset the headwinds that persist in some markets and applications.
We continue to add to our pipeline of products to sustain growth in future years and we remain alert
to acquisition opportunities. We have the expertise and innovation to execute, underscoring our
conviction to deliver ongoing earnings growth for our shareholders.”
Dividend
Chair John Strowger said the strong first-half result, and expectations for the full year, allowed the
Board to declare a 6% increase in the interim dividend to 9.0 cents per share, imputed 50% (the
same level as in the pcp). The dividend will be paid on 20 March 2025 to shareholders of record at
5pm on 07 March 2025.
“As noted at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in October 2024, the global economic conditions and
political risks make for a challenging business environment, but we continue to focus on executing
current business well, alongside investing in capability and initiatives to improve returns, capture
opportunities for new business and mitigate market risks.”

CEO REVIEW
Group net profit after tax (NPAT) for the six
months ended 31 December 2024 was $24.2
million, a record result and an increase of 12%
on the prior corresponding period (pcp).
The improvement over the pcp was largely
due to a significant lift in demand for dairy
rubberware consumables, which more than
offset lower sales in the more discretionary
footwear and leisure applications.
During a period where economic
conditions have remained challenging,
the record NPAT again demonstrates the
resilience of our strategy and focus.
We design and manufacture products for
use in applications demanding precision,
high performance and conformance.
We focus on understanding customers’
needs and applying deep technical
knowledge and expertise to meet them,
increasingly integrating discrete parts to
simplify their businesses.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT FY25
Industrial Division
Industrial Division earnings before interest
and tax (EBIT) of $22.4 million was down
2% on the pcp. Revenue was up 5% with
growth from increased sales into solar
roofing applications in Europe and hygiene
applications in the US more than offsetting
the continued trough in the Australian
construction market, timing of sales into the
mining sector and lower demand for high-
performance marine foam products. Sales
into potable and waste-water applications
were f lat with growth in Australia offset
by softer demand in the US. Product mix,
higher international freight costs and
increased personnel and facility costs to
meet future growth opportunities pushed
the Industrial Division EBIT slightly below
the record result achieved in the pcp.
We continue to have a strong pipeline
of growth opportunities with global
original equipment manufacturing (OEM)
customers. In the first half of FY25 we spent
and committed capital to increase technical
and manufacturing capability in New
Zealand, Europe and the US, launched new
products for customers across the globe
and upgraded our distribution facility in
Chicago. We also agreed terms for a new
distribution facility opening during Q3 in
the Netherlands.
Agri Division
Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million was up
31% on the pcp. Revenue was up 4% due
to increased sales of dairy rubberware
consumables to international customers.
This growth was largely anticipated due to
the prior period being negatively impacted
by customer destocking. The challenging
economic environment in New Zealand
caused footwear sales to fall below the
pcp, partially offsetting the growth of
dairy consumables. Investments made in
both the prior and the current period to
improve productivity enabled the increase
in demand for dairy consumables to be
met efficiently, generating the significant
improvement in the Agri Division EBIT.
In recent years we have invested in
deepening our development capability.
This is enabling us to innovate and move
more quickly with product, process and
equipment development and improvement.
We have introduced – and continue to work
on further developing – milking liners that
provide important productivity gains for
farmers around the world. Our recently
launched Thriver
TM
calf-feeding teat has
been well received in New Zealand and
international markets. We see significant
growth potential for this range over the
next three years.

CHAIR AND CEOS REVIEW
Graham Leaming
Chief Executive Officer
We have also made very good progress on
developing our manufacturing platform,
enabling f lexibility for future deployment
in-market to meet growth opportunities.
Cash
Group operating cash f low of $32.2 million
was down 12% on the pcp due to a strategic
increase in inventory to mitigate the risks
of interruption to our supply chain from
geopolitical events, uncertainty around
port interruptions in the US and to provide
more time to respond to possible increases
in border tariffs. Despite the impact of
these actions, net debt remains very low, at
$20.4 million, representing just 6% of our
total assets and is 23% below the pcp.
Dividend
Ref lecting the record result and our
expectations for the full year, the Board
declared a 6% increase in the interim
dividend to 9.0 cents per share, imputed
50% (the same level as in the pcp).
The dividend will be paid on 20 March
2025 to shareholders of record at
5pm on 07 March 2025.
Outlook
Global economic conditions are mixed
and geo-political uncertainty continues,
making forecasting more difficult than
usual. However, our business remains
well-placed, with growth from existing
and new products expected to more than
offset the headwinds that persist in some
markets and applications. Based on our
year-to-date results and our expectations
of trading conditions and customer demand
for the remainder of the year, we anticipate
FY25 NPAT to be in the range of $52 to $56
million. In the meantime, we continue to
add to our pipeline of products to sustain
growth in future years, and we remain alert
to acquisition opportunities.
Te am
We are very grateful to our global team
for their ongoing drive to understand,
innovate, develop and manufacture
excellent products that deliver real
value for our customers. We have the
expertise and commitment to execute on
our plans, underscoring our conviction to
deliver ongoing earnings growth for our
shareholders.
