CHAIR’S REPORT 2025

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Delegat Group Limited, I am pleased to present its

operating and financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2024.

The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

To provide further insight into the Group’s underlying operational performance, the Group has

also included in this report an Operating Performance Report. This Operating Performance

Report excludes the impact of fair value adjustments required under NZ IFRS for grapes

and derivative financial instruments. As a fully integrated winemaking and sales operation,

Operating Profit includes the fair value adjustment in respect of grapes when packaged wine is

sold rather than on harvest of the grapes, and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial

instruments when these foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are realised.

The Group has included a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit which eliminates

from each line in the Statement of Financial Performance the impact of these fair value

adjustments.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE

An Operating NPAT of $28.3 million was generated compared to $37.8 million for the same

period in the previous year. Operating EBIT of $48.4 million is $13.6 million lower than the same

period last year (refer to table 1).

OPERATING PERFORMANCE CONTINUED
Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $178.6 million on global case sales of 1,634,000 in the

six month period. As a result, revenue is down $20.0 million on the same period last year. This

is primarily due to the impact of a 15% decrease in global case sales, offset by a favourable

foreign exchange movement. Operating Gross Profit is down 10% on the same period last year.

The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in table 2.

Operating expenses (before NZ IFRS adjustments) at $37.9 million are $3.8 million higher

compared to the same period in the previous year. This is due to increased investment in

consumer advertising and brand marketing.

This decrease in operating net profit after tax for the six month period was expected following

the lower yielding 2024 vintage, challenging consumer market and inventory dynamics, along

with the planned price increases in certain markets impacting on case sales volumes in the

short term.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS
In accordance with NZ IFRS, the Group is required to account for certain of their assets at

‘fair value’ rather than at historic cost. All movements in these fair values are reflected in and

impact the Statement of Financial Performance. The Group records adjustments in respect of

two significant items at the half-year reporting date, as detailed in table 3.

• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs

incurred, at harvest. Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for

the year, by creating a Harvest Provision. This Harvest Provision is then released through

Cost of Sales when inventory is sold in subsequent years. This represents the reversal of

prior periods’ fair value adjustments in respect of biological produce as finished wine is

sold in subsequent years. This has resulted in an adjustment of $4.1 million for the period

(31 December 2023: adjustment of $10.5 million);

• Derivative financial instruments held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate

exposure. The mark-to-market movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in a

fair value write-down of $17.8 million (31 December 2023: write-up of $4.5 million).

TABLE 3 IMPACT OF FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS

Notes:

1. Biological Produce (Grapes) is the difference between market value paid for grapes and the cost to grow grapes.


The Harvest Provision is reversed and only recognised when the finished wine is sold.

2. n/m means not meaningful.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported unaudited

financial performance for the six months ended 31 December 2024 is reconciled to Operating

Profit as detailed in table 4.

CASH FLOW

The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $75.6 million in the current half-year,

which is an increase of $39.8 million on the same period last year. The increase is due to higher

collections from customers due to the timing of case sales and lower payments to suppliers.

A total of $40.8 million was paid for additional property, plant and equipment during the

period, including vineyard developments in New Zealand, and development of the Hawke’s

Bay and Marlborough wineries, which will provide earnings growth into the years ahead. The

Group distributed $20.2 million to shareholders in dividends. Net repayment of borrowings of

$16.5 million were made during the six month period.

The Group is well positioned to fund its current operations as well as future capital investment

in both New Zealand and Australia. The Group’s Net Debt at 31 December 2024 amounted to

$345.6 million, a decrease of $6.7 million compared with the last half-year and well within the

Group’s bank debt facilities of $420 million.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
REPORTING ENTITY

The financial statements presented are those of Delegat Group Limited and its subsidiaries (the Group). Delegat

Group Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and registered under the

Companies Act 1993. The Parent shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

The financial statements for the Group for the six months ended 31 December 2024 were authorised for issue in

accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 28 February 2025.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

in New Zealand (NZ GAAP), the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, and NZ IAS 34: Interim

Financial Reporting. Accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements comply with New Zealand

equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards


(NZ IFRS) as applicable to the Group as a profit-oriented entity.

The interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are

prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and biological produce which have

been measured at fair value.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires the Group to make

judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and

liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and

various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these

estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting

estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in

the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to economically

hedge its risk associated with foreign currency and interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Such financial

instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into, and

are subsequently remeasured to fair value at balance date. In estimating the fair value of the derivative financial

instruments the Group uses level 2 inputs of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Group’s derivative financial

instruments fall into level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy because their fair value is determined using

inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly as

prices or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair values are derived through valuation techniques that maximise the

use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Refer to the published

financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 for a complete listing of the Group accounting policies.

2. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which

their customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment

performance and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating

Segments this forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is the format adopted below:

– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure

which allows the company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into the

Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary companies

based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and Pacific Island

markets. Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and

assist in the marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions

and the Group considers there is no significant variation in revenues throughout the year.

The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis

in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource

allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss,

which may be measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment

reporting is based upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax

balances being recognised upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also intercompany

stock margin eliminations are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.
