•For yet another year, the economic environment has
been difficult in NZ, with a number of negative GDP

quarters, but better in Australia, where same

customers’ orders have remained resilient

•Despite this, we delivered an almost 7% revenue

increase and 13% profit increase

•Australia contributed significantly to this outcome,

but our NZ operations also continue to leverage their

superior service delivery

•Our balance sheet continues to be strong, and our

gearing is reducing, supporting an 8% increase of

our dividend

ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING


A. CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION


Slide 1. Freightways - 30 October 2025, Annual Shareholders Meeting


Slide 2. Mark Cairns, Chairman


Nau mai, haere mai. Tena tatou katoa.

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen. I’m Mark Cairns, Freightways Chair

and it’s my pleasure to welcome you to our 2025 Annual Shareholders

Meeting. It’s great to see you again and welcome also to those people

joining us online this morning.


On the stage, are my fellow directors; Peter Kean, Abby Foote, David Gibson,

Fiona Oliver and Grant Devonport. David is standing for re-election and

Grant is standing for election, following his appointment by the Board in

November last year. They will both address the meeting later today prior to

the vote.


We will shortly hear from our Chief Executive, Mark Troughear. Also on the

stage, we have our Chief Financial Officer, Stephan Deschamps and our

General Counsel and Company Secretary, Nicola Silke. Other members of

our Executive are also present in the room today and happy to chat with you

over morning tea, after the conclusion of the formal business.


Also here today are the Company’s Auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers and

the Company’s external legal advisors, Mayne Wetherell.


We have a quorum of shareholders, so I declare the meeting open.


Firstly a few housekeeping matters:

The bathrooms are located on the first-floor atrium. In the event of an

emergency, please evacuate immediately through the fire exit doors and

gather at the assembly point in the carpark behind this building. Could I

request that you switch your mobile phones off, or onto silent please?

Lastly, we will be making an audio recording of the meeting which will be

made available on the Freightways website.


Slide 3. Agenda


I will now run through the structure of the meeting:

I will begin with procedural matters and then summarise some of the

Company’s highlights over the last Financial Year. I will then ask our Chief

Executive Mark Troughear, to give an overview of the Company, update on

strategy and current trading performance, and provide commentary on our

outlook for the remainder of the financial year.


Following Mark’s presentation and any questions relating to the

management of the company, I will then introduce the formal resolutions

as outlined in the Notice of Meeting.


The Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 are set out in the

Company’s Annual Report, released to shareholders in August. The

Company also released its Climate-Related Disclosures last month.

Slide 4. How to ask questions

Today’s meeting is being held both in-person and online through

Computershare’s online meeting platform.


For those of you attending the meeting virtually, if you would like to submit

a question, the Q&A is always open so please feel free to submit questions

throughout the meeting, these will be addressed at the relevant time.


Questions will be moderated by Nicola Silke, our Company Secretary. If we

receive multiple questions on one topic, these will be amalgamated

together. Any questions not answered in time will receive an email response

after the meeting.


Voting today will be conducted by way of a poll on all items of business. I

now declare the voting open for all resolutions.


If you do not have a voting paper, please indicate now by raising your hand

and a member of Computershare’s team will assist you. Voting papers will

be collected at the end of the resolution and voting section of the meeting

by the Computershare team who will act as scrutineers and the results will

be posted to the NZX and ASX later this afternoon. When asking a question

in the room, please use the microphone and introduce yourself by name and

confirm whether you are a shareholder or proxy.




Slide 5. How to Vote


For those online, if you are eligible to vote at this meeting, you will be able

to cast your vote under the Vote tab. As voting is now open, the resolutions

will allow votes to be submitted. You can change your vote, up until the time

I declare voting closed.


Before I turn to the Group’s financial and strategic performance, I want to

pause and acknowledge the tragic loss of one of our Shred-X team members

in Victoria, Australia, in December 2024. On behalf of the Board, I extend

our deepest sympathies to their family, friends, and colleagues. Any loss of

life in the workplace is deeply distressing, and it reminds us that safety must

remain at the heart of everything we do. We are determined to learn from

this tragedy and to strengthen our commitment to ensuring that every

person who comes to work within the Freightways Group returns home

safely to their loved ones at the end of each day.


I will now speak briefly to some of the highlights of our 2025 financial year.


Slide 6.

FY25 Performance


The macro-economic environment has remained difficult for a third

consecutive year. Despite these headwinds, the Company achieved another

year of Revenue and Earnings growth.


Allied Express in Australia again performed strongly, where the economy

has proved more resilient than in New Zealand. Our New Zealand businesses

also continued to increase market share from competitors, backed by a
superior service proposition. Cost pressures on our businesses abated

somewhat, allowing us to recover margins across most of our Express

Package businesses.


Slide 7. General highlights – Financials FY2025

Despite the economic headwinds in New Zealand, we achieved a 7% growth

in revenue to $1.3 billion and an impressive 13% growth in Net Profit to

$80.1 million.


Slides 8. Gearing FY25

With our interest expense reducing, strong cash flow generation has

allowed us to pay down debt, bringing gearing to the bottom half of our

target range.


Slides 9. Dividend FY25

With a stronger balance sheet, and perhaps some positive thinking that

the New Zealand economy was starting to turn the corner, the Board

resolved to increase the dividend by 3 cents or 8%, to 40 cents per share,

remaining within our normal dividend policy settings.


This slide shows the dividend trajectory over the last 20 years. With

exceptions during the Global Financial Crisis and Covid, Freightways has

endeavoured to maintain or increase the dividend every year, as we know

how important this is to many of our shareholders.


Slides 10. Revenue history
To conclude, I thought it would be useful to illustrate Freightways’

impressive growth story over the last 20 years, with revenue increasing

five-fold, and growth accelerating since 2021, reflecting the successful

integration of business acquisitions in both New Zealand and Australia.


Over the past several years, Freightways has delivered an Upper Quartile

Total Shareholder Return, supported by a reliable dividend stream and

steady share price appreciation. This reflects the consistent earnings

growth and disciplined capital management, outperforming many peers in

the transport and logistics sector.


In the 2025 Financial Year, Freightways’ Total Shareholder Return was an

impressive 49.7% (assuming that Dividends were reinvested). This ranks

Freightways in the Upper Decile of the NZX50 Index constituents,

demonstrating the Company’s sustained ability to create shareholder

value, whilst navigating challenging periods of economic volatility.


In closing, I would like to thank; my fellow Directors, our Chief Executive

Mark Troughear and his Management Team, who have continued to lead

our team of 6100 employees and contractors, with an unwavering focus on

“Moving you to a Better Place”.


But particularly, I would like to thank you, our shareholders for your belief

and support of our Company.

I will now hand over to our Chief Executive, Mark Troughear.

Nga mihi nui.
