SCOTT TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES HY25 RESULTS


Scott Technology’s (NZX: SCT) result for the six months ending 28 February 2025 sees stable net profit

despite the challenging market conditions across its product portfolio and lower order intake during last

year. The company successfully strengthened group margins, reduced net debt, and improved cash flow.

Strategic execution focused on securing higher-margin contracts and building a robust pipeline of forward

work provides momentum into the second half of the year.


Business Highlights:

• The executive team, led by new CEO Mike Christman, recently met to review and align on long

term strategy, targeting a new 2030 strategy, details to be presented at an upcoming Investor

Day.

• Continued strong growth opportunities supported by innovative products and scalable solutions.

• Strong Q2 following recent key project wins provides momentum for the next six months.

• Forward work remains robust at $165 million, flat versus the prior period, with a strategic focus on

higher margin contracts.

• Revenue mix is increasingly weighted towards service-based revenue, currently at 31%, up from

26%.

• A proactive safety culture drove substantial engagement, evidenced by an 83% increase in safety-

related conversations.


Financial Highlights:

• Revenue of $122 million, down -14% from $141 million in the prior comparable period (pcp).

• Group margin performance improved to 29%, a 270bps increase from 26% in pcp.

• Operating EBITDA at $12.2 million, down -27% from $16.6 million in pcp.

• Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of $4.3 million, stable compared to pcp.

• Operating cash flow of $14.5 million improved significantly from -$7.7 million in pcp.

• Net debt reduced to $13.2 million, down -35% from $20.2 million in pcp.

• Directors declared a dividend of 3 cents per share (unimputed), 5 cents per share in pcp.


Financial Performance Overview:

Revenue for HY25 declined -14% year-on-year to $122 million, driven by a challenging economic landscape

and subdued order intake throughout FY24. Despite this environment, forward work remains robust at $165

million, supported by a targeted approach to high-margin opportunities and securing recent wins that

provide momentum for the second half.


Group margin expanded to 29%, representing a notable +270bps improvement, driven by Scott Technology’s

strategic focus on profitable projects and service mix. The decline in revenue, however, has led to operating

EBITDA of $12.2 million, a decrease of -27% from pcp. Cost controls are in place to manage overheads while

carefully investing in foundational elements like a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system in Europe

to support future growth. Net profit after tax was at $4.3 million, remaining relatively flat compared to pcp

as reduced EBITDA was offset by lower amortisation, interest and tax. The prior period also included non-


recurring costs for the strategic review.


Operating cash flow rebounded positively to $14.5 million, driven by securing key new projects, effective

working capital management and disciplined cost control, facilitating a -35% reduction in net debt to $13.2

million. Investments were directed towards regional plant upgrades and strategic asset developments.


Considering current market conditions, the Board has declared an unimputed interim dividend of 3 cents per

share, payable on 21 May 2025, with shareholders able to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan

(DRP).

Impressions from the CEO:

Chief Executive Officer Mike Christman, who joined the company in October 2024, said

“I’ve had the opportunity to observe the business from a fresh perspective. Scott has real strengths with

market-leading technology, highly skilled and passionate people and our focus on a modular approach has

enabled margin improvement, this has provided positive momentum. Over the last five years there are many

positives with improved margins, increased service revenue mix and improved cashflow which has allowed

for strategic investment in the business and meaningful debt reduction.”

Scott is well-positioned for future growth, however, there are some key challenges we intend to focus on to

unlock more opportunities for Scott:

• Research & Development has largely been reactive — project based rather than guided by a long-

term, integrated roadmap – we must positively disrupt the market rather than follow.

• Sales have plateaued — an issue we need to structurally address – we need to create a stronger

forward order book.

• Customer proximity must improve — deeper engagement, stronger key account management, which

is essential for sustainable growth.

• We must increase detailed global market knowledge.

Mike said, “here at Scott, there are many things that we are doing well – improving the areas above will have

a positive impact on shareholder value and will allow us to move into the next stage of our growth journey.”

2030 Strategy Refresh:

“We are not yet where we want to be, but we are in the final stages of completing our long-term strategy

and a clear blueprint to get there. Once the strategy is finalized, I’m excited to share our vision with you”

The key pillars include:

• Customer First – deeply understanding and solving for our customers’ evolving needs.

• High Performing Team – aligned execution with long-term business goals.

• One Scott – a unified culture that empowers our global teams and drives scalable, sustainable

growth.

• Leading Edge Technology – focused innovation, driven by market insights, delivering scalable,

modular solutions.

More detail on the strategy refresh is to be provided at an upcoming Investor Day. This will mark a critical

step in starting to address our challenges and unlocking our long-term shareholder value. Watch the

results review and message from the CEO (https://vimeo.com/1075152839/53573a4bfe)


Outlook:

There is solid momentum heading into the next six months following a strong second quarter, recent large

project wins and increasing standard product sales.

The recent announcements on tariffs are expected to have a limited direct impact on Scott for FY25.

However, the more significant impact is the increasing uncertainty this will create and impact on businesses’

willingness to invest in capital equipment. While certain segments may experience headwinds, there is also

potential opportunities, particularly where our European and Asian competitors face higher tariff rates than

those applicable to our exports from New Zealand or Australia to the US.

The global shift towards nearshoring and regionalised supply chains is closely aligned with Scott’s strengths.

We are well-positioned to help customers build resilient, secure, and efficient supply chains through

automation, providing the capital remains available.

Additional specific sector detail is provided within the investor presentation.

Materials Handling and Logistics

• Overall: revenue driven by timing of large projects is largely offset by improved margin.

• Europe & North America Palletisation: strong period in Europe partnering with key customers for

+50 projects. Timing of projects impacted North America.

• Transbotics: softer orders with customers delaying spend. Officially launched NexBot in Mar-25 with

positive feedback and two pre-orders.

• Margin %: improved margin performance due to good manufacturing efficiencies and improved

service mix.

• Forward work: remains strong at $88m, with ~$20m of JBS Brooks still to recognize across FY25 /

FY26.


Minerals

• Overall: decline in revenue following a record period in HY24 with large orders for MRL and

Caterpillar.

• Rocklabs Standard: strong unit sales for crushers & pulverisers, continued growth expected as

orders for parts increase.

• Modular: HY25 cycling MRL project and timing of securing new orders. Strategic key wins for Kinross

(Alaska) and Rio Tinto (Australia) provides momentum into H2.

• Energize: completion of the first phase of automated energy transfer systems (AETS) for Caterpillar.

• Margin %: improvement due to mix of standard products. Target for margins to trend back towards

40%.


Protein

• Overall: largely flat revenue in challenging environment. Strong margin improvement & momentum

of orders heading into H2.

• BladeStop: revenue is up +10% HY24 on higher service and parts revenue due to increase services

penetration and installed base.

• Lamb & Beef: slow start due to timing of orders but secured JBS Cobram Leap Primal system and 3 x

Loin Deboners.

• Poultry: completion of CostCo units during the period, challenging market conditions slow new

orders.

• Margin %: reflects execution on projects and increase mix of service and parts.




Appliances

• Overall: prior years included large projects for Sub-Zero and GE Appliances. HY25 includes the final

stages of Sub-Zero and the start of the record setting $20m Midea project in China.

• Forward work: +$20m provides a good base for H2.

• Margin %: solid margin performance attributable to the strategy of focusing on proven technology

and several key projects executed well.



Services and Aftermarket:

Service revenue accounted for 31% of total revenue, up from 26% in pcp. Service provided a strong base of

recurring revenue during a tough period for capital equipment purchases. Highlights included increased

service penetration for BladeStop and palletisation as installed base grows and value proposition improves.

Outlook

•Solid momentum heading into 2H25 following a strong Q2, recent large project wins* and increasing standard product sales.

•The recent announcements on tariffs are expected to have a limited direct impact on Scott for FY25 however the more significant

impact is the increasing uncertainty this will create and impact on businesses’ willingness to invest in capital equipment.

•The global shift towards nearshoring and regionalized supply chains is closely aligned with Scott’s strengths. We are well-positioned

to help customers build resilient, secure, and efficient supply chains through automation providing the capital is available.

* Recent large project wins include JBS Cobram (Protein), Rio-Tinto (Minerals), Kinross (Minerals), Midea (Appliances), McCain, Ecofrost & Altho (MHL)

On a sector level:

•Materials handling – Focus on the food industry delivers a solid pipeline of opportunities into H2 for palletising in both Europe

and North America, despite the economic challenges. JBS Brooks commissioning and installation is to begin in 2H25.

•Minerals – Greenfield exploration remains constrained but Scott’s technology is well-placed to provide efficiency gains for

existing sites. Rio Tinto and Kinross modular projects progressing well with most of the build work to be completed in 2H25.

•Protein – ANZ beef & lamb market is growing confidence with outlook positive for 2025 / 2026. North American beef supply is

forecast to be soft - this could impact capital purchases in region. Solid order book for lamb portfolio, BladeStop unit sales remain

soft but T300 to provide potential upside.

•Appliances – The recent Midea project worth in total $20m continues with ex-works due in H2 and commissioning into FY26

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT

OF CASH FLOWS

For the six months ended 28 February 2025

Half Year Result 2025

Scott Technology Limited

Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with

the policies disclosed in the annual financial statements.

The Group has adopted all mandatory new and amended

standards and interpretations. None had a material impact on

these financial statements.

There are no new or amended standards that are issued but not

yet effective that are expected to have a material impact on the

Group.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Segments and Cash Generating Units (CGU's)

The previously reported segments and CGUs of New Zealand and

Australia have been split in the second half the 2024 financial

year, into the new segments and CGUs of New Zealand, Australia

and Rocklabs.

As a result of a number of changes in the Executive and

Leadership Teams in 2024, the responsibilities of the global team

were updated to align with the revised Group structure and

associated responsiblities. Regional Directors have oversight and

responsibility for the redefined segments and CGUs of

New Zealand, Rocklabs, Australia, Europe, USA and China. All

internal reporting has been aligned to these revised segments

and CGUs. The monitoring of cash inflows has also been aligned

due to changes in the grouping of assets resulting in a new

Rocklabs asset group that is independent of the other CGU's.

As a result of the split of New Zealand and Australia into

New Zealand, Rocklabs and Australia, the 2024 reported

segments and CGUs of New Zealand and Australia have been split

out in Notes 2 Revenue and 3 Segment information in order to

report comparative figures for the new segments and CGUs of

New Zealand, Australia and Rocklabs.

AUDIT

The Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 28

February 2025 are unaudited. Comparative balances for the six

months ended 29 February 2024 are also unaudited, whilst the

comparative balances for the 12 months ended 31 August 2024

are audited.

AUTHORISATION

The Interim Financial Statements were authorised by the Board

of Directors on 16 April 2025. The annual financial statements

for the year ended 31 August 2024 were authorised by the Board

of Directors on 17 October 2024.

presentation currency used in the preparation of the financial

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Group uses earnings / (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation

and amortisation, and one-off costs (Operating EBITDA), earnings

/ (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation

(EBITDA), and Net Tangible Assets per ordinary shares, to

describe financial performance as it considers these line items

provide a better measure of underlying business performance.

These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning

prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be compatible to

similarly titled amounts reported by other entities.

Segment revenues and results

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue and results by reportable segment. For the purposes of NZ IFRS 8,

allocations are based on the operating results by segment. The Group does not allocate certain resources (such as senior

executive management time) and central administration costs by segment for internal reporting purposes as these allocations

would not result in a meaningful and comparable measure of profitability by segment.

The Group has categorised these derivatives, both financial assets and financial liabilities, as Level 2 under the

fair value hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS-13.

The fair value of foreign currency forward exchange contracts is determined using a discounted cashflow

valuation. Key inputs include observable forward exchange rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting

value discounted back to present values.

There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for foreign currency forward exchange contracts

during the current reporting period.

There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during either the current or prior periods.

The fair value of financial instruments not already measured at fair value approximates their carrying value.

The fair value of foreign exchange contracts outstanding is recognised as other financial assets/liabilities.


The Group enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge trading transactions, including

anticipated transactions, denominated in foreign currencies.

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are

subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in

profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing

of the recognition depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the fair value of firm commitments (fair value hedge) or

as hedges of forecast future sales (cash flow hedge). Open firm commitments reflect contractual agreements to

provide goods to customers at an agreed price denominated in a foreign currency on specified future dates.

8. NON-RECURRING COSTS

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On 15 June 2023 Scott advised the share market that after discussions with the majority shareholder JBS,

it intended to undertake a strategic review of its ownership structure, with the view to exploring options to

maximise value for all shareholders. Scott engaged Macquarie Capital as financial advisor to assist with the

strategic review. As Scott advised the market on the 13th of November 2023, the strategic review would not

continue further at this time. The costs associated with the strategic review have been included on a separate line

as they are one off in nature and do not represent the trading position of the Group. In 2025, no further cost were

incurred (six months ended 29 February 2024: $2.5 million; twelve months ended 31 August 2024: $2.5 million).

Review of Appliance Market

During July 2024, a consultation was undertaken on the future of Scott's Appliance market. The outcome of this

consultation was commenced in July, with Scott refocusing appliance manufacturing into its China operations.

This resulted in job losses in the Christchurch facilty.

This process resulted costs redundency costs of $1.0m in 2024. The process was concluded in August 2024 and

all of the costs associated with this process being included in 2024.

Review of Industrial Automation Market

During July 2024, a consultation was undertaken on the future of Scott supplying the Industrial Automation

market in Australia. The outcome of this consultation was completed in July, with Scott withdrawing from this

market. This resulted in job losses in the Australian business.

This process resulted in redundency costs of $0.3m in 2024. The process was concluded in August 2024 and all

of the costs associated with this process being included in 2024.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the period which have significantly

affected or may significantly affect the operations, the results of operations or the state of affairs of the

Group in subsequent periods.

The Board has resolved to pay an interim dividend for the six months ended 28 February 2025 of 3 cents

per share (29 February 2024: 5 cents per share; 31 August 2024: 3 cents per share).
