Savor Interim Results and Trading Update
NZX Release
Savor 2026 Half Year Results
26 November 2025
Savor Limited (NZX: SVR) (“Savor”, “the Company”, or with its subsidiaries “the Group”), New
Zealand’s premier hospitality group, today provides an update on the start of summer trading and
presents its results for the six month period ended 30 September 2025.
Highlights:
• Savor’s revenue for the period was $24.0m, a 6% decline on the prior period, as the Group’s
approachable premium positioning continued to deliver value for customers in a period of
pressure on discretionary spending.
• Savor’s operating earnings for the period were $1.9m, a reduction of 3% compared to the prior
period, and represents an improved net extraction rate by 0.2% compared to the prior period.
• Savor recorded a net loss after tax of $1.1m compared to a loss of $1.1m in the prior period.
The market continues to be challenging, with the pressures of high inflation, increasing operating costs,
and more cautious consumer spending. Despite this, the Group has remained resolute in its
determination to protect margins and drive cost-out initiatives to reduce the impact on the bottom
line.
The contraction in operating earnings for the period relative to the contraction in revenue is testament
to this, as the reduction in Group overheads and operating costs has led to significant efficiencies and
improvements in profitability.
Trading update
Trading through the winter months has varied, however, momentum has continued to build
throughout the spring period, buoyed by a successful second year of the Savor Food Festival and the
return of major events to the central city. The resilience of the Group through the year to date
provides a good base to maximise returns through the significant summer trading period.
Subsequent to publishing these results the Group agreed new arrangements with key suppliers,
resulting in cash payments of $1.0m to be received prior to calendar year end.
These longstanding partnerships with suppliers are central to the Group’s offerings, and to be able to
renew these underscores the strength of our brands despite the challenging market conditions.
*Operating earnings means reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, impairment, amortisation and restructuring
costs, as reported in the Group’s Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Savor Group 2026 Interim Financial Statements
Financial Statements
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Savor Limited (‘the Parent’ or ‘Company’) and its
subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’) operate in the
hospitality sector, operating a number of premium
restaurants and bars. The address of its registered office is
c/o Generator, Level 10, 11 Britomart Place, Auckland, New
Zealand 1010.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements
presented are those of Savor Limited and its subsidiaries
(the "Group"). Savor Limited is a company domiciled in New
Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and
is a Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 reporting entity.
These interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
in New Zealand (NZ GAAP) and the requirements of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. For the purposes
of complying with NZ GAAP the Group is a for-profit
entity. The condensed consolidated financial statements
of the Group comply with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).
They also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). The interim financial statements are
presented in New Zealand dollars. They comply with NZ
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read
in conjunction with the 31 March 2025 annual report
available on the Group website at www.savor.co.nz.
The accounting policies used to prepare these interim
financial statements are consistent with the preparation of
the Group's latest annual report.
2. KEY ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The Group has undertaken a number of key estimates and
judgements when preparing these financial statements,
the details of which are outlined in this note. These
judgements have been formed using historical information
and comparatives where available, and management's best
judgement where there is no appropriate comparison. The
Group continues to review all significant estimates along
with the assumptions used and recognises any adjustments
to these in the period in which a change occurs. The key
estimates and judgements are disclosed in the Group's
most recent annual report.
3. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS
Restructuring and other costs occur outside the normal
course of operating the venues on a day to day basis, and
are unrelated to the Group's trading operations. These
have been separated out on the face of the Statement
of Comprehensive Income to allow the reader of these
financial statements to understand the day to day
operations for the year without the impact of these items.
These items typically include the impairment or disposal of
assets, variable rent costs under NZ IFRS 16, costs related to
restructuring or M&A activity, venue development or other
costs that are unrelated to the Group's day to day trading
operations.

4. INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT
The Group performed its annual impairment testing of
goodwill at 31 March 2025. Management has reconsidered
the assumptions of the impairment tests in light of the
results for the six months and are satisfied that there is
no indication of an impairment that would require a more
comprehensive impairment assessment at this time.
