Louise Alexander

Director

Bhupen Master

Director

Over the past twelve years, Lucien has spearheaded a

new wave in Auckland hospitality, overseeing the creation

of New Zealand’s largest group of premium restaurants

and bars.

His projects include award-winning modern Japanese

restaurants Azabu and Ebisu, as well as one of New

Zealand’s busiest venues, Bivacco.

Before venturing into hospitality, Lucien was an

internationally acclaimed advertising creative, achieving

campaign success across various disciplines such as

TV, press, posters, and viral media. Lucien’s experiences

were shaped by his tenure in some of the world’s leading

creative departments during their most internationally

successful periods, including Mother London (2000

Campaign Agency of the Year) and Saatchi & Saatchi

London (2001 Cannes Agency of the Year).

Upon returning to New Zealand, Lucien founded the

successful independent communications agency Shine.

Over the next six years, Shine secured some of New

Zealand’s most prestigious accounts, including Hyundai,

Spark, Lion Nathan, RaboBank, and Fonterra, among

others. In 2011, NBR named Shine the agency of the year.

Paul Robinson has twenty five years of experience in

structured finance in London and New York.

In London, Paul worked across the range of capital

markets endeavours, delivering increased profitability via

bespoke solutions utilising financial engineering, legal, tax

and accounting expertise.

In 2008, Paul moved to New York to take lead

responsibility for structuring and originating strategic

debt and equity capital markets funding.

In 2019, Paul returned to New Zealand to raise a family

and take an active role in Savor Group where he has been

a long term shareholder. Paul reverse listed Savor Group

onto the NZX and divested the historical loss making

business. Paul currently acts as Executive Chairman of the

Group.

Louise is a senior HR practitioner and people leader

and leads her own HR consultancy, People Synergistics,

and is the Head of Operations and BD at FrontTier, a

Leadership Development business. Louise recently

departed as the HR Director for Bell Gully, a role which

she held from 2015 to June 2024. Louise developed and

led Bell Gully’s HR strategy over that time, focusing on

communication, diversity and culture, and supporting

and developing people through the talent management

program. Louise has a passion for the not for profit sector,

with both management and governance roles in various

organisations throughout her career.

Louise brings a critical skillset to Savor, where the

success of the Group is driven by its teams in the venues.

Bhupen has spent his extensive career working with some

of the top financial institutions worldwide. Bhupen was

most recently an Executive Director of Goldman Sachs

with extensive experience in global markets covering

institutional investors and was instrumental in leading

numerous capital raisings during his time.

Prior to this, Bhupen spent over 20 years working in New

Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom for Credit

Suisse, Merrill Lynch and Deustche Bank. Bhupen’s

extensive experience in the capital markets and strategic

transactions strengthens the Board’s diverse skills and

experience, and are essential to assist in guiding the

Group as it continues on its growth trajectory.

–We’ve created two venues that work together but can stand alone
— a premium golf simulator club alongside a true bar-restaurant.

Each is strong enough to thrive on its own, but together they create

something unique in the city.

–Our edge is hospitality. Anyone can install simulators, but few can

deliver the food, drink, and service that sets Savor apart. That’s what

elevates Flush beyond the standard golf venue.

–The location is critical. By placing this in the heart of Britomart —

Auckland’s premium dining destination, and arguably New Zealand’s

— we have access to a customer base suburban operators simply

can’t reach.

–There’s also a clear gap in the market. Britomart today has fine

dining at one end and pubs at the other. Bar Ziti sits right in the

middle — approachable, vibrant, and designed to fill that space in the

country’s top hospitality precinct.

–Not another sports bar – Bar Ziti is atmosphere-driven and stylish, a

place people will choose even if they never swing a club. Think of it

like a great bar that happens to have pool tables — you’d go for the

food, drinks, and vibe first, and maybe play a game along the way.

The Concept –

Bar Ziti & Flush Golf

11ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGSAVOR LIMITED

–Laneway transformation – lush planting and outdoor tables
create a vibrant, welcoming setting, with the bar opening

directly to the street for a true city buzz.

–The perfect Peroni after work – a natural meeting spot for

city workers, with groups spilling into the lane for drinks and

shared plates.

–Flexible for every occasion – from quick CBD lunches to

casual date nights, pre- and post-Spark Arena visits, or

weekends in the heart of Britomart.

–A striking focal point – the pizza oven serving straight out

to the laneway draws people in and anchors the space with

energy and theatre.

–Service Mode – QR code ordering gives customers speed

and control, while reducing labour costs and allowing staff to

focus on hospitality rather than transactions.

–An exciting evolution for Savor — blending our
proven hospitality model with fast-growing

“social entertainment” concepts.

–Unlocks new revenue streams beyond

traditional dining, tapping into leisure, sport,

and events.

–Underpinned by efficiency: venues designed

around lower wage models, tech-driven

service, and maximised customer throughput.

–Creates spaces that are social, sticky, and

scalable — not just places to dine, but to stay,

play, and return.

–Golf is the fastest-growing participation

sport globally, with millions of new players

post-COVID.

–Shift toward younger audiences, driven by

entertainment-led formats (Topgolf, Five Iron,

indoor sims).

–Social, casual golf experiences are

resonating with new demographics —

women, younger professionals, families

— not just traditional golfers.

–Auckland lacks a premium, urban golf-

hospitality hub — a clear market gap.

–Powered by world-leading Trackman

simulator technology, delivering hyper-

realistic play on over 300 iconic courses.

–Flexible for both serious golfers (coaching,

practice, leagues) and casual groups

(corporates, social nights, families).

–Integrated with Savor hospitality: a Britomart

clubhouse paired with Bar Ziti laneway dining

& drinks.

–Positioned to lead New Zealand’s entry

into the global “competitive socialising”

movement.

–Last year we launched the first ever Savor Food Festival –
our first group-wide promotion. The goal was simple: provide

value-driven dining opportunities during a period of cost-of-

living pressure, while rewarding loyal guests and attracting

new ones.

–The Festival was also designed to energise the quieter winter

months and build momentum into the busier summer season,

ensuring our venues remained vibrant year-round.

–The response exceeded expectations. By week four we had

reversed a winter decline in visitor numbers and delivered

year-on-year growth across the Group.

–Importantly, average customer spend held steady — proving

that while the Festival created value, it didn’t dilute the

strength of our venues or their positioning.

Creating Value in

Challenging Times

17ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGSAVOR LIMITED

–With that success, the question was never if we’d do it again,
but how we’d build on it.

–This year, we’ve expanded the Festival’s reach: more events,

more venues participating, and a deeper programme of

experiences.

–We’ve also been able to refine the model — taking learnings

from last year on menu design, timing, and marketing, and

making it sharper.

–Already, we’re seeing strong early traction — with key events

selling out, waitlists in place, and over a thousand guests each

week booking Festival menus.

–For us, the Festival has become more than a promotion. It’s a

new seasonal fixture that both strengthens customer loyalty

and sets the Group up for a stronger summer.

–This year we shifted from a primarily ticketed approach to
a broader focus on everyday value offerings, supported by

more than 80 events across the programme. The change has

proven successful, with strong engagement across all venues.

–Once again, this was made possible through strong supplier

partnerships — including Asahi, LVMH, Campari, Allpress,

Constellation Wines and many of our other valued wine

partners — whose financial contributions ensured the Festival

remained cost-neutral for the business.

–Key headline events sold out within a week of launch, with

waitlists in place across the Festival — reinforcing the demand

and excitement it generates.

–Since the merger in 2019, the Board has always wanted to find
a way to thank and reward our long-standing shareholders

through our venues.

–For much of that time, our focus had to be on the

fundamentals: navigating COVID and its lasting impacts, and

ensuring the business stayed strong.

–With the relative successes of the past year and the Group in

a stronger position that it has been since Covid, we can now

deliver on this commitment.

–I’m pleased to announce the introduction of Dynamic

---

Savor 2025 – ASM, 30 Sept, 10:00am MUFG

Paul Robinson – Executive Chairman

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Savor Group’s Annual Meeting. It is my

pleasure to address you again as Chairman.

Market Context and Resilience

This has been yet another challenging year for the hospitality sector. Across New Zealand, and

particularly here in Auckland, we have seen further pressures of inflation, rising operating costs,

and more cautious consumer spending.

Many operators have struggled, and some well-known venues have closed their doors. To

provide some context, it has been reported that over 2,500 hospitality venues have closed,

representing a 19% increase year on year.


It is worth emphasising that Savor’s approachable-premium positioning continues to serve us

well. We are delivering value to customers at a time when discretionary spending is under

pressure, while also protecting margins for shareholders. This balance is what sets us apart in

the current environment and I think it is clear we have navigated this situation better than most

of our peers.

Trading Update

Our Year-to-date trading through August has Group revenue down 6% on the prior year which in

of itself is a reasonable result. However, more importantly, our EBITDA is down only 2% over the

same period.

This bottom-line resilience reflects the hard work that has gone into our cost-out initiatives and

our determination to protect margins.

The table illustrates how uneven trading has been this year, but nevertheless the group is

showing clear momentum coming into spring.

Furthermore, with the new golf site open last week, the Seafarers losses not repeating, and the

cost out initiatives still feeding through we expect the full year results to be considerably better

than FY25.

Historical Financial Comparison

Looking at the Key financial indicators over the last four years you can to apricate the progress

that has been made with venue-level wages are now running at 40.4% of revenue, compared to

41.3% in the prior year and down from their peak of 43.4%.

Our cost of goods sold are below 30% at 28.8%, down from 29.2% in the prior year and 30.7% in
the year before that.

Headcount has reduced from a peak of 592 staff to 443, reflecting careful management of

rostering and driving venue level efficiencies, all without compromising our standards of service.

The head office cost improvements are continuing with $650k removed so far this calendar year

and a further $400k still to come that will further boost the bottom line considerably.

The venue level efficiency gains have underpinned a circa $2.5m improvement in profitability

which together with the head-office cost out program is on track to add another $1m in savings

in 2025, resulting in a $3.4m improvement over the 4 years irrespective of the prevailing

economic environment.


Quality of Earnings and Growth Outlook

The Board and Management have reviewed the portfolio carefully, ensuring capital is directed

to the highest quality opportunities. The early exit from the Seafarers Building (saving $0.975m

annually) and the swap into the new Britomart site delivers lower fixed costs, improved

profitability, and upgraded assets without incremental borrowings.

The Britomart site (Bar Zeti) and golf venue (Flush) which have been funded from third party

deals are both incremental to the FY26 budget and are expected to deliver meaningful earnings

uplift. The Britomart site alone is expected to generate $3–$4m in annual revenue, with EBITDA

margins after lease costs of over 20%.


The Board will continue to analyze the portfolio of assets looking to opportunistically recycling

capital into stronger, higher-margin opportunities.


Forward Looking Cashflows

Turning to the cash flow waterfall (see attached), free cash flows are forecast to rise from a net

of $1.2m (or circa $2.4m with Seafarers and the NSP closure added back) in FY25 to over $3m in

FY26, and rising to over $5m in FY27. It is important to note these results are driven from

actions either already taken or in process so are not contingent on future decisions.


Finally, it is worth noting the Group also retains $30m of gross tax losses (approx. $8.5m cash

value), providing tax cover for an estimated four years.

Cost-Out Discipline and Culture
What underpins all of these results is a culture of discipline across the organisation. Our

executive team has continued to focus on the daily details that matter—adjusting rosters in real

time, rethinking supplier relationships, streamlining procurement, and working closely with

chefs and venue managers to maintain both quality and efficiency.

Despite all of these of these efforts we the Executive and the Board are extremely disappointed

with the flagging share price. I am pleased to report we have adopted a dividend payment policy

and believe all things being equal, will be in a position to pay dividends in the next financial year.

I do want to take a moment to explain that we run this business, without an executive

management team to speak of. We manage the business ourselves in-house, keeping

professional service costs to a minimum. Normalising to historical observed revenue, head

office wages are currently well under 3%.

Nevertheless, given this prolonged economic down-turn, as with Covid - Lucien and I have

volunteered to take a substantial reduction in salaries starting October 1. Furthermore, the

Board has volunteered to reduce its total compensation by half until such time as a dividend has

been delivered and the share price has recovered.

We hope you agree we are completely committed to making this business a commercial success

for all shareholders.

Closing

In closing, I want to thank our staff for their dedication, our management team for their

disciplined execution, and our shareholders for their continued support.


This has not been an easy year for hospitality in New Zealand, but Savor has once again proven

its strength. We remain confident that our brands, our people, and our focus on cost discipline

will ensure we continue to outperform the market and deliver long-term value.


I now hand you over to Lucien our CEO, t hank you.

Lucien Law - CEO
Thank you Paul, and good morning everyone.

It’s no secret that the past year has been a tough one for hospitality. Across New Zealand,

household spending is under real pressure, with costs outpacing disposable income. Retail sales

volumes are down more than 2% year-on-year, and consumer confidence has remained

stubbornly low — meaning more households are pessimistic than optimistic.

For our sector, the result has been a challenging trading environment, particularly in Auckland

where most of our venues sit. Sales growth here has been virtually flat — just 0.4% in some

quarters — while tourism hubs like Queenstown and Nelson have seen double-digit gains.

“And yet, in this environment, Savor has remained resilient — it hasn’t been easy, but we’ve

protected our margins and continued to invest in the future.”

I believe that resilience comes down to a few key factors.

First, brand strength. Venues like Amano, Ebisu, Azabu and Bivacco remain some of the most

recognised names in Auckland dining. When customers are choosing more carefully where to

spend, they come to brands they know will deliver.

Second, our positioning. We’ve built Savor around an approachable-premium offer. Even as

households cut back in other areas, dining with us feels worth it.

Third, discipline. We’ve kept a tight hold on costs and pushed for efficiencies, but always

without compromising the experience.

And finally, innovation. We’ve kept investing when others have pulled back — whether it’s new

venues like Flush and Bar Ziti, or initiatives like the Savor Food Festival that continue to set us

apart.

Momentum Returning

While winter has been challenging, we are now beginning to see encouraging signs across the

Group. There’s a noticeable lift as we’ve moved into spring, with more energy in the city and

stronger demand in our venues compared to the quieter months just gone.

Father’s Day was a good example. We welcomed over 2,500 guests across our venues — up 13%

on last year. It shows that even in a climate where households are careful with their spending,

customers are still choosing to celebrate at Savor venues.

So while trading remains tough, momentum is returning — and there are clear reasons to be

optimistic.

Today I’ll be talking in more detail about some of the drivers of that momentum: our new

Britomart openings, Bar Ziti and Flush Golf; the second year of the Savor Food Festival and the

results so far; and the launch of a shareholder discount programme designed to reward your
ongoing support.

Flush & Bar Ziti — A New Kind of Precinct

Flush Golf and Bar Ziti were designed side by side, but with distinct personalities. Together they

create a new kind of precinct in the heart of Britomart — blending premium social sport with

approachable dining and drinks.

The thinking is simple: each venue stands strongly on its own, but when combined, they amplify

one another. Flush draws golfers, corporates, and groups looking for an experience. Bar Ziti

complements that with a vibrant laneway bar and dining offer — just as appealing for a quick

CBD lunch as it is for a core dinner occasion, whether that’s colleagues, clients, or a lively group

night out.

It’s this balance — connected yet independent — that makes the concept so powerful. Guests

don’t need to play golf to enjoy Bar Ziti, but together the two venues broaden our audience and

strengthen our position in Britomart.


Bar Ziti – Laneway Dining in Britomart

Bar Ziti brings something new to Britomart. The laneway is transformed into a vibrant,

welcoming space — with outdoor tables and a strong sense of city buzz. The bar opens directly

onto the street, making it feel open, lively, and connected.

It’s designed around after-work culture — a natural meeting spot for the city’s workforce, where

sharing a Peroni and some plates as the street comes alive feels effortless.

But it’s also flexible. Whether it’s a quick CBD lunch, a casual date night, a pre- or post-Spark

Arena stop, or a relaxed weekend gathering, Bar Ziti fits comfortably across all of those

occasions.

In terms of positioning, we see it sitting neatly between our high-end casual venues and the

pubs in the area — offering approachable quality in a space that feels both easy and elevated.

The service model reflects that. Casual and seamless, with QR code ordering that gives

customers speed and control, while also reducing labour costs and allowing our team to focus

on atmosphere and genuine hospitality.

Introducing Flush Golf

“Flush marks a really exciting next step for us as a business. We’ve built Savor on the strength of

hospitality, but this is the first time we’re combining it with entertainment at scale. It’s an

opportunity to extend what we do best — creating vibrant spaces for people to come together

— and underpin it with models that are leaner, more efficient, and built for the future. That
means lower wage costs, better customer flow, and venues that deliver stronger returns.

At the same time, the timing is right. Golf has exploded worldwide since COVID, not just with

traditional players but with new audiences coming in — younger people, women, and groups

who see it as a social activity. Entertainment-led formats like Topgolf have proven there’s real

demand for this shift. People want golf to be fun, flexible, and accessible — and that’s a big gap

in the Auckland market.

Flush is our answer to that. We’ve partnered with Trackman, the global leader in simulator

technology, to deliver the most realistic golf experience available anywhere. Players can choose

from hundreds of iconic courses, compete in leagues, or just enjoy a casual night out. Serious

golfers can train or get coaching, while corporates, families, and friends can use it as a social

experience.

“Flush isn’t just a venue — We believe its a platform for growth, bringing hospitality and

entertainment together in a way that’s new to Auckland.


FESTIVAL 2025

“Last year we launched the very first Savor Food Festival — the first time we’d ever done a

group-wide promotion. The goal was simple: to give our customers more value during a time of

real cost-of -living pressure, while rewarding our loyal guests and attracting new ones.

It was also designed to energise the quieter winter months and build momentum into summer.

And it worked. By week four we had completely reversed a winter decline and were delivering

year-on-year growth across the Group. Importantly, average spend held steady — so we proved

that creating value doesn’t have to dilute brand strength.”

Success in year one made the decision easy — the challenge was how to build on it.

This year we’ve expanded the Festival: more events, more venues, and a deeper programme of

experiences. We’ve also sharpened the model, refining menus, timing, and marketing.

The early signs have been very positive — key events selling out, waitlists and more than a

thousand guests every week booking Festival menus. What’s clear is that this has become more

than a promotion — it’s now a seasonal fixture that strengthens loyalty and sets us up for a

stronger summer.”


“This year we broadened the focus. Instead of relying mainly on ticketed events, we built a

programme of over 80 events supported by everyday value offers. That shift has driven

engagement right across the portfolio.

And we couldn’t have done it without our supplier partners — Asahi, LVMH, Campari, Allpress,
Constellation and others — whose contribution made it possible to run the Festival without

impacting our bottom line.

The demand has been pleasing. Key events sold out within a week of launch and the numbers

speak for themselves: over 200,000 guests across nine weeks, beverage sales up strongly, and

food uplift right across the Group.

The Festival has proven its value as both a customer and a commercial driver.”


Shareholder discounts

“Since we merged back in 2019, the Board has always talked about finding a way to properly

thank and reward our shareholders. For much of that time, the reality was that our focus had to

be on navigating COVID and its long tail of impacts.

But the position we’re in now is the strongest we’ve been since that period. With the successes

of the past year, we finally have the opportunity to deliver on that promise.

So I’m very pleased to announce the launch of our new Dynamic Shareholder Discounts, which

will begin in the first quarter of 2026.”

“The idea is simple but powerful. Each quarter, we’ll rotate the venues included in the

programme — so the offer always feels fresh and gives you a reason to explore different parts of

the portfolio.

You’ll receive a direct email with all the details — the venues, the dates, and the discount. Just

book as you normally would, and when you arrive, show the email to our team. The discount

will be applied on the spot.

If your email is up to date with your MUFG shareholding, there’s nothing else you need to do —

we’ll take care of the rest.

Yes, it’s a discount. But more importantly, it’s our way of recognising the support you’ve given

us, and inviting you to experience the very best of Savor, season by season.”

Shareholder Q&A Response – Related Party Transactions

A shareholder question was received in relation to the two businesses that were sold into

the Group post reverse listing – being the Oji business and the Mission Bay venue. I would

like to address this directly and for the benefit of all shareholders.


When Savor completed its reverse listing into Moa, Oji and Mission Bay were initially left

outside the transaction at the request of Moa. This was because Oji’s grab-and-go concept

had no alcohol component, and Mission Bay at that time was loss-making. New

shareholders joining the register were clear, however, that there should be no “orphans”

left outside of the listed Group. Within the following year, Oji and Mission Bay were

therefore acquired by Savor.


Oji was acquired in July 2021 for $1.2m, plus leases and other liabilities, net of fixed asset

recovery totalling $1.564m. This was used by the vendors to repay the set-up costs of the

business. Over four years, Oji generated more than $14m in sales, despite having to operate

its large format Commercial Bay sites during the height of Covid restrictions.

While EBITDA was broadly breakeven, this was intentional to test if Oji could out compete

the market leader at a similar price point. The business model was designed as a low-

margin, high-market-share strategy, with Phase 2 automation earmarked to deliver future

margin uplift. After consultation with major shareholders, the Group has since chosen to

pivot away from smaller operations, not invest in the automation project and focus on

higher-return large format venues.

Regardless Savor will retain the brand value and commercial learnings associated with this

grab-and-go business.


Mission Bay was acquired in October 2022 for $600k, equal to the written down book value

of the net assets. Since then, it has been a clear success story – delivering $17.6m of revenue

and $4.6m of EBITDA to the Group over four years, and it remains a strongly performing

venue in our portfolio.


Taken together, these two businesses have contributed an estimated net present value of

approximately $3.5m to the Group (without including a Terminal Value for Mission Bay).

Mission Bay continues to deliver considerable profits and will remain an important part of

our business going forward.



In summary:

- The acquisitions were undertaken transparently and at fair value.

- They aligned with shareholder requests to ensure no related party “orphans” were left

outside the listed entity.

- Together, they have produced tangible returns and have delivered meaningful shareholder

value.
