Record profit highlights resilience and infrastructure strength


South Port (NZX: SPN) has delivered a record net profit after tax for FY25, underpinned by

strong bulk and stable container volumes, which more than offset reduced activity at the

Tiwai wharf. Meanwhile, investment in infrastructure, supply chain resilience and a

diversified cargo base continue to position the Company strongly for growth going forward.

FY25 Highlights

 Bulk cargo volumes: up 12.5% to 3.0 MT; revenue per MT up 4% to $13.80

 Container volumes: up 1% to 52,300 TEU; revenue per TEU up 29%

 Tiwai volumes: down 20% to 811k tonnes

 Total revenue: up 13% to $63.3m from $56.1m in pcp

 EBITDA: up 21% to $25.8m from $21.3m in pcp

 EBITDA margin: up 300bps to 41% from 38% in pcp

 Record NPAT: up 81% to $13.3m from $7.4m in pcp

 Operating free cash flow: up 97% to $16.9m from $8.6m in pcp

 Debt/EBITDA: 1.0x down from 1.6x in pcp

 Dividend per share: 28.0 cps (fully imputed), payout ratio of 55% of NPAT

Divisional Overview

Bulk Cargo

Bulk cargo was the standout performer in FY25, driven by strong agricultural demand.

Fertiliser volumes increased 23% to 353k tonnes, and stock food surged 74% to 563k

tonnes due to a high dairy payout and a wet spring. Forestry exports also rebounded

strongly, up 27% to 983k tonnes. Woodchip vessels, in particular, benefited from increased

draft post-Kia Whakaū dredging, improving supply chain economics and backloading

opportunities.

Containers

Container volumes were steady at 52,300 TEU despite disrupted global shipping schedules.

Agricultural imports and manufacturing exports helped maintain activity. The introduction of

the MSC Wallaby Service (replacing Capricorn) ensured continuity of services. Higher

container handling activity and increased rates lifted container revenue per TEU by 29%.

Tiwai Wharf

Cargo volumes at Tiwai dropped 20% to 811k tonnes, impacted by the 50MW demand

response call agreed between NZAS and Meridian Energy. Despite lower volume, revenue

remained stable due to a fixed-fee structure. Following improved hydro storage levels,
NZAS could begin the process of resuming normal operations in June 2025. Importantly,

NZAS reaffirmed its 20-year electricity supply agreement, highlighting its ongoing

commitment to the region.

Financial Performance

South Port’s total revenue increased 13% to $63.3m, underpinned by record volumes and

the full-year implementation of the Kia Whakaū infrastructure levy. Bulk revenue grew by

$8.3m to $30.3m, while container revenue also lifted by $3.3m to $13.9m supported by rate

and activity increases. Tiwai revenue was consistent despite a drop in volumes, due to fixed

contractual components.

Operating costs increased by 7%, reflecting inflationary pressures, additional compliance,

and increased maintenance in the marine and infrastructure sectors. Despite this, operating

leverage improved on stronger volumes, resulting in a 21% rise in EBITDA to $25.8m and

a higher EBITDA margin of 41% (FY24: 38%).

A record NPAT result, up 81% to $13.3m, reflecting the strong operational result and lower

interest and tax costs.

Return on assets improved to 18.6% from 15.9%, and operating free cash flow almost

doubled to $16.9m. Gross debt reduced by $5m to $31m, leaving headroom for future

investment and reducing the debt/EBITDA ratio to 1.0x.

Capital Management and Dividend

South Port’s capital management continues to reflect prudent long-term planning. Following

a multi-year period of heavy investment, including dredging, petroleum berth rebuild, a new

tug and Island Harbour infrastructure upgrades, FY25 saw modest PPE growth of 3%.

Maintenance capex was held flat at $4.3m, aligned with depreciation.

The Board declared a final dividend of 20.5 cps, bringing the total dividend to 28.0 cps (fully

imputed), 1cps above FY24. This equates to a 55% payout ratio on reported NPAT and 44%

of OFCF, and a gross yield of 5.6% based on the 30 June 2025 share price of $7.01.

Outlook

Looking to FY26, South Port anticipates continued strength in bulk cargo due to a strong

dairy outlook and ongoing recovery in the meat sector. Forecast milk prices support

continued import demand for agricultural inputs. Container volumes are expected to hold

steady, while volumes at Tiwai should recover to normal levels barring further demand

response interruptions.

Several aquaculture and renewable energy projects (such as the Kaiwera Downs stage 2

wind farm and several offshore aquaculture initiatives) are in progress. Planning is

underway to determine infrastructure and land requirements to both service these projects

and secure potential future cargo growth. With short term infrastructure investment

moderating and operating free cash flow increasing, South Port is well-positioned to support

regional growth while continuing to deliver resilient financial returns.

South Port will host a conference call at 10.30am (NZT) to discuss the results. To participate

•Total operating costs up 7% YoY as a result of increased

maintenance, and additional compliance costs (CRD,

•EBITDA margin below FY22 level (44%) as more

compliance costs are now being incurred by the

•Being an infrastructure business, an increase in cargo

does not reflect the same level of increase in cost

Long-term Investment Horizon

SPN FY25 Annual Result Investor Presentation - 22.08.2535

Outlook
•Volumes expected to remain strong supported by:

•The agriculture sector continuing toimprove on the back of a strong dairy payout in FY25,

and forecasted again for FY26.Also a positive red meat sector

•Container volumes are expected to remain consistent

•NZAS volumes expected to increase, returningto a more normal cargo flow,on the proviso that there are

no demand response calls in the coming 12 months

•Capital investment cycle is slowly freeing up free cash flow in FY26

•Opportunities are evolving in the energy and aquaculture sectors which will require significant investment

•Continued focus on capital allocation to build capability to meet future cargo requirements and drive returns

Outlook

It has been a challenging year with several macro-economic and climatic conditions that have materially influenced cargo

volumes handled across the wharf during the past 12 months.

Despite these challenges and fluctuations, the Port has been in an excellent position to meet the demands placed on our

infrastructure and operations which has been a highlight for the year.

The agricultural sector, particularly the dairy industry has been strong, which is reflected in the volumes of bulk and

containerised cargo being handled through the Port.

The strength of the dairy sector is forecasted to continue in FY26 with Fonterra indicating a Farmgate Milk Price range of $8.00

to $11.00 per kilogram of milk solids, with a midpoint of $10.00, which is positive sign for both the Southland region and the

Port.

The macro-economic conditions offshore are expected to remain difficult. Supply chains continue to be disrupted, particularly

around regions where conflict is present, impacting container services calling to New Zealand.

The Company however remains confident about the resilience of the business.

There are a number of projects connected to both the aquaculture and energy sectors currently in the consenting stages that

will provide short to longer term opportunities for the Port, in addition to existing projects such as the Kaiwera Downs stage 2

wind farm components that will be shipped through the Port in FY26.

The business strategy to invest in our infrastructure has proved to be successful and will continue to be an important part of

our planning to ensure we can meet our customers’ requirements looking forward.

These opportunities combined with the wide range of cargoes being handled at the Port provides the Company with an

optimistic outlook for the future.
