• Income $150.7m, good momentum despite weak economic conditions

• Majority of business units delivering improved earnings. Normalised earnings before tax loss

halved, 2Q25 earnings the strongest in 18 months (since 4Q23). Normalised EBT $(6.1)m and

EBT $(8.1)m

• Gross margin improvement progressing well, GM% the highest since 1H23

Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has reported its

results for the six months ended 31 December 2024, delivering an improved result as the

momentum of the transformation plan becomes evident.

For the six months ended 31 December 2024, MOVE reported a solid improvement in earnings and

margins, despite weak market conditions which continue to impact on customer demand and

activity. Early benefits of the Accelerate transformation plan are being seen with the majority to be

realised from 2H25 and onwards. Gross margin % was materially higher, with an increase of 5.2bp

from 1H24 as the cost reduction programme progresses.

Chair of MOVE, Julia Raue, said: “The Board and management team have been laser focused on the

execution of the Accelerate transformation programme. As a result, our financial performance is

improving, renewed funding arrangements are in place, we have strengthened MOVE’s leadership

team and we continue to win business as a result of our team’s commitment to customer service

excellence. There is still much work to do, and we have a clear plan of action in place as we build a

platform to deliver long term, sustainable value for our shareholders.”

Significant milestones achieved, good momentum being delivered

CEO of MOVE, Paul Millward, commented: “Our priority focus has been on cost reduction, gross

margin improvements, and cashflow generation driven by sales-led recovery. We have achieved

significant milestones in the transformation plan over the last six months as we have rightsized our

network, fleet and assets, significantly reduced our cost base, and appointed experienced new

leaders to key GM business roles in Freight and Warehousing.

“Good momentum is being made, despite the weak economic conditions which have seen customer

demand soften. All of our business units are showing improvement apart from Warehousing which

remains challenged with current weak demand and excess capacity across the sector. A clear plan is

in place for the business.

“Highlights include continuing improvement from the Freight business which, in 2Q25, delivered the

best quarterly normalised earnings in two years; and our Specialist business which continues to go

from strength to strength. MOVE plays an essential role in New Zealand’s fuel supply network and

our Fuel business performed strongly. MOVE Oceans’ trans-Tasman shipping service is building
momentum, with the freight forwarding and other services providing a consistent return.

“Our team is focused on winning in the market, through sales execution, operational excellence and

delighting our customers. We are continuing to focus on productivity improvements and positioning

MOVE for when market activity and demand returns.”

1H25 Financial performance

Total income of $150.7m was down 5% compared to the prior comparative period (1H24) but ahead

of 2H24.

Normalised earnings before tax (NEBT)

1

of $(6.1)m was a material improvement on 1H24, with the

loss halved year on year. The 2Q25 was the strongest quarterly earnings in 18 months and was up

48% on 1Q25. EBT including non-trading adjustments and non-controlling interest of $(8.1)m was

also an improvement on the prior year. The results include $1.1m costs related to the exit of the

Atlas Wind vessel.

Operating expenses reduced by $16.8m, primarily driven by a reduction in people and transport

costs. An incremental annualised $3 to $4m is being targeted for 2H25. Gross margin expanded to

29%, an improvement of 5.2bp from 1H24, largely as a result of the cost reduction programme.

Net loss after tax (NLAT) improved by $1.8m to $(8.9)m for the six months.

The new funding arrangements put in place in August 2024 are operating successfully, providing a

combined loan facility of $35m. The ANZ facility was renewed in February 2025, with extended

tenure to August 2026, as well as adjustments to covenants and other provisions to give the Group

more headroom for expected performance this year. Operating cashflow was $8.9m for 1H25,

compared to $10.3m in 1H24 which included the benefit of a positive interest rate swap.

2H25 Outlook
The focus remains on productivity improvements and positioning MOVE for stronger market activity

and demand. While inflation has eased and there are some signs of improved business confidence, a

material improvement in market conditions is not expected to be seen until at least mid-2025. A lift

in market activity and customer demand, combined with improvements from the transformation

plan, will enable earnings growth.

The team remains focused on extracting the full value of the broad, ambitious Accelerate

transformation plan and winning in the market. Long term drivers are positive and MOVE has the

expertise, solutions and team to deliver.

MOVE confirms that it remains on track to achieve its goals:

• FY25: Positive adjusted net operating cashflow and a significant improvement in normalised EBT

• FY26: Return to positive normalised EBT

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. GENERAL INFORMATION


1.1. REPORTING ENTITY

The core operations of MOVe Logistics Group Limited (“MOVe Logistics” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively

“the Group”) are in the New Zealand logistics sector. These include general transport, bulk liquids, heavy haulage,

shipping, warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding and storage.

The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC

Reporting Entity under part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is dual listed with its primary listing

of ordinary shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a foreign Exempt

Entity on the Australian securities exchange (ASX).

The registered office of the Company is at 24-30 Paraite Road, Bell Block, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The interim

financial statements were approved for issue by the MOVe Logistics Board of Directors on 27 February 2025February 2025.

1.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION

This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared

in accordance with accounting standards IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly,

this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public

announcements made by MOVe Logistics during the interim reporting period.

1.3. GOING CONCERN

As at 31 December 2024 the Group recorded an after tax loss attributable to owners of $8.6m, and had a working capital

deficit of $28.1m (of which $31m is current lease liability) with loans and borrowings due for refinancing within the next

twelve months.

In the annual accounts for the previous year ended 30 June 2024 the board concluded that there were material

uncertainties that may have arisen (refer financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024). Directors’ analysis of all

relevant material uncertainties identified in June 2024 and how these are progressing or have been addressed includes

the following:

Trading Performance

While the economic environment is proving slower to recover the Group is well advanced on the range of Accelerate

initiatives noted at year end. The cost savings and optimisation plans identified have resulted in a material improvement

in the Groups results year on year. In addition to this, the Group performed to plan for the 6 months to December 2024.

In September 2024, we welcomed turnaround specialist Paul Millward to the team. Under strong leadership the Group

remains acutely focused on delivery of Accelerate initiatives for 2H25 including gross margin growth, further cost

disciplines and improved process efficiencies. New leaders for Freight and Warehousing joined in early 2025. Under the

current conditions, Management remains confident that the plan remains on track.

Financial Position

Renewal of Debt Facility

Working with existing banking partner ANZ, the Group has secured an extension of the ANZ facility term to August 2026,

with financing terms acceptable to the Group. Note 6 provides details on the updated facilities. With the above facilities,

and in conjunction with prudent working capital management, the Group is comfortable that sufficient headroom,

cash and debt facilities are available to meet its obligations going forward and to manage the Groups liquidity position

appropriately.

6
MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

Working capital deficit

The Group notes the impact of the current lease liability of $31m on the current liability balance and considers that

there are assets available to meet the Group liabilities as they fall due. Given the liability profile, aspects of the balances

presented will be funded by ongoing future activities of the business.

Conclusion

Having made due enquiry, the Directors conclude that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no material

uncertainties related to the Group being a going concern, and accordingly, these interim financial statements are

prepared on a going concern basis.


2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements, unless disclosed below are consistent

with those used in the previously published audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30

June 2024. There were no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 July 2024 that would have a

material impact on the Group.

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary

economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented

in New Zealand dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional and the presentation currency of all companies

in the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited, MOVE Oceans Limited and TNL Australia Pty Limited, whose

functional currencies are United States dollars and Australian dollars respectively.



3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

a. Impairment of Goodwill

The Group tests intangible assets for impairment to ensure they are not carried at above their recoverable amounts

• At least annually for goodwill

• Where there is an indication that the assets may be impaired (which is assessed at least each reporting period)

The Group concluded that there are no indicators of impairment for any of the CGU’s at 31 December 2024, although they

will continue to monitor the position closely for any evidence that the goodwill has become impaired.

7
MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

4. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE


The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and

comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and the

New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).

These interim financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:

• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a

GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, asset impairments and

restructuring & settlement costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.

• Adjusted EBT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a

GAAP measure), excluding asset impairments and restructuring & settlement costs (non operating expenses) as

reported in the financial statements.

The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding

of the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of

business units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute

for measures reported in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may not be comparable

to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net loss after tax from continuing operations:

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision

Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

The Group has made the decision that the eleven operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Group CEO

can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard to the

nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of capital,

the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.

In addition to GAAP measures, the Group CEO also uses non-GAAP measures (EBITDA and EBT) to assess the commercial

performance of the segments. The reportable operating segments have been determined as:

INTERNATIONAL

This segment includes international freight forwarding, shipping and agency services across a broad range of industries.

SPECIALIST

This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.

FREIGHT

This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide

range of freight types.

CONTRACT LOGISTICS

This segment specialises in contracted solutions providing services for customers including warehouse and supply chain

capability and delivery of bulk liquids.

CORPORATE

This segment includes our corporate services function.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments (excluding those related to lease liabilities), as this type of

activity is driven by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group.

Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment

revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.

The Group has a diverse range of customers from various industries, with only one customer contributing more than

10% of the Group’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Contract Logistics segment.

The Group is required to comply with a number of ANZ financial covenants. On 24 September 2024 the Group refinanced

• Guarantor coverage EBITDA >90%

• Total ANZ exposure not greater than 50% of Property, Plant and Equipment value

During the period to 31 December 2024 these were fully complied with. Post year end the Group has reached agreement

with the ANZ to extend its facilities through to August 2026 and to vary the quarterly covenants and terms as below:

• EBITDA actual > agreed percentage targets to forecast on a YTD basis

• Fixed Charge cover ratio > 1.0x at September 2025, 1.1x at December 2025 and 1.25x at March 2026 and thereafter

2025

• Quarterly repayments of $500K March 2025 and then $1.25m June 2025 and thereafter

Based on the forward looking forecast approved by the Board and the above financial covenants the Group is expected

to comply for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. Accordingly the consolidated interim

financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

Independent auditor’s review report

To the shareholders of Move Logistics Group Limited

Report on the interim financial statements

Our conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial statements of Move Logistics Group Limited

(the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) on pages 1 to 10 which comprise the

consolidated interim balance sheet as at 31 December 2024, and the consolidated interim statement

of pro

fit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated interim statement of changes in

equity and the consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, and

material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the

accompanying interim financial statement

s of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects,

the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024, and its financial performance and cash

flows for the period then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim

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

Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS

34).

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements

2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity

(NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for

the review of the interim financial statements section of our report

.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in

New Zealand relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other

ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements.Our firm provides access to

training material through an on-line platform. The provision of access to training materials has not

imp

aired our independence as auditor of the Group

Responsibilities of the Directors for the interim financial statements

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair

presentation of these interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for

such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the p

reparation and fair

presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due

to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review.

NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come

to our attention that

causes us to believe that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all

material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34.

A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited

assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsi

ble for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review

procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an

audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards

on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might

identify in an audi

t. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial

statements.
