Steel & Tube FY25 Results Presentation Amendment



Steel & Tube Holdings Limited (NZX: STU) has made minor amends to its FY25 Results Presentation to correct the

historical Perry Metal Protection “Normalised EBITDA (pre IFRS)” chart on page 9 of the presentation.


The March 2025 and June 2025 columns were incorrectly shown at $11m, both columns should have been $9m.


The third bullet point has also been updated to make it clear the delivered ($1.7m) and PCP ($1.4m) EBITDA amounts

are post IFRS.

Recessionary conditions impacting across sectors

Steel & Tube has diversified sector exposure, focused on growth markets

Recessionary conditions, expect to see cyclical recovery later in

FY26. Steel & Tube product diversity and broad sector exposures

offer opportunities versus listed peers

•Manufacturing: improvement seen in first 4 months of 2025 before

contracting again in May and June.

•Commercial: 5% reduction in consented floor area YoY to June; businesses

remain cautious around economic outlook and significant investments

•Residential: impacted by high interest rates, increased housing supply,

migration, soft rents and price growth, slowdown in residential, Kāinga Ora

and retirement developments. Some stabilisation seen from early 2025

•Infrastructure: Government fast-track projects will provide longer term

benefit. $6b committed to start before Christmas 2025

•Others: economic recovery in the agricultural sector

Discussion

Appendix

Non-GAAP financial information

Non-GAAP financial information: Steel & Tube uses several non-GAAP

measures when discussing financial performance. These include

Normalised EBITDA, Normalised EBIT and Working Capital. Management

believes that these measures provide useful information on the underlying

performance of Steel & Tube’s business. They may be used internally to

evaluate performance, analyse trends and allocate resources. Non-GAAP

financial measures should not be viewed in isolation nor considered as a

substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS.

Non-trading adjustments/Unusual transactions: The financial results for

FY25 include transactions considered to be non-trading in either their

nature or size. Unusual transactions can be as a result of specific events or

circumstances or major acquisitions, disposals or divestments that are not

expected to occur frequently. Excluding these transactions from

normalised earnings can assist users in forming a view of the underlying

performance of the group. The above reconciliation is intended to assist

readers to understand how the earnings reported in the periods ended 30

June 2025 and 30 June 2024 reconcile to normalised earnings. Non-

trading adjustments of $(4.6) million are included in the FY25 EBIT &

EBITDA.
