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.
