UPDATE – AUSTRALASIAN MANUFACTURING


Tourism Holdings Limited (NZX:THL, ASX:THL, “thl” or “the Company”) today advises that, following a

comprehensive review, it will be closing its RV manufacturing factory in Brisbane, effective 19 December, and

transitioning all production to Action Manufacturing in Hamilton, New Zealand.


This change is expected to result in a reduction of approximately 110 frontline and support roles in Australia.


Chief Executive Officer, Grant Webster, said “first and foremost I want to acknowledge the significant impact

this decision will have on our manufacturing crew in Brisbane. It is reflective of the sustained downturn in the

broader Australian RV manufacturing industry, the recent consolidation of thl’s dealership footprint as part

of the Australian Retail strategic initiative, and the fact that thl has completed a significant part of its

Australasian fleet regrowth programme. Over the past two financial years, fleet numbers across Australasia

have grown by 45% as we have responded to recovering international tourism and rental demand.

Maintaining manufacturing operations in both countries enabled thl to achieve that level of recovery in a

short timeframe.


“The transition of production to New Zealand will allow thl to immediately capture the cost advantage

opportunities, and to maintain strong overhead leverage despite expected lower overall manufacturing

volumes across Australasia. It is one of several strategic actions underway in what we view as a transition year,

positioning thl for a stronger platform heading into FY27.”


While a proportion of frontline role reductions will be offset in New Zealand during 2026 as thl ramps up

production, the majority of support roles will not be duplicated and will instead leverage existing roles already

in place in New Zealand. In addition, thl expects to exit the lease on the Brisbane factory at some point in

2026. Together, these changes are expected to deliver substantial and ongoing overhead cost savings.


“We remain committed to the Australian market, anchored by an RV rental business that continues to have

a strong forward order book”, said Grant Webster.
