MOVE 1H26 INTERIM RESULTS FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Profitable 2Q26, on track for positive full-year normalised earnings
Transport and logistics group, MOVE Logistics Group Limited (NZX/ASX: MOV), has today reported its
interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025 (1H26).
• Revenue and other income $143.7m, down 5% YOY as weak market conditions continued to
impact on customer activity and demand
• Normalised Earnings Before Tax (NEBT) $(0.1)m
1
, up 98% YOY – on track to achieve positive
NEBT for full year
• Net Loss After Tax $(0.9)m
2
, an $8.0m improvement YOY
• Net debt reduced by $6.2m YOY to $12.8m, with improved operating cashflow of $17.0m, up
$8.1m YOY
Commenting on the results, chair of MOVE Julia Raue, said: “The improving results demonstrate
focused execution of the transformation strategy and, while there is still more to do, the Board is
encouraged by the progress heading into the next phase of growth. We remain on track to achieve
our guidance of positive normalised earnings in FY26 and are committed to delivering sustainable,
long-term value for all our stakeholders.”
CEO, Paul Millward, said: “We are making good progress on our FY26 priorities and four-year
roadmap, with three of MOVE’s four business divisions now in profit. Warehousing is showing
gradual improvement as the turnaround plan is executed, although market challenges persist. Across
our group, we have a strong and capable team focused on excellent customer service, and long-
standing customer relationships. We are now nearing completion of the RESET phase of our
roadmap and moving to STEP UP, with a focus on ‘winning in market’ and value creation.”
1H26 Financial Results
Weak market conditions continued to impact on customer activity and demand, with income for the
period down 5% to $143.7m. Despite this, earnings and gross margin percentage both improved,
driven by disciplined cost management and efficiency initiatives.
Normalised earnings before tax (NEBT) returned to positive territory in 2Q26, with the six month
result up 98% YOY to $(0.1)m.
Gross Margin percentage was at its highest level since 1H23, driven primarily by efficiency and
productivity and cost improvements.
Net Loss After Tax of $(0.9)m was an $8.0m improvement on the prior comparative period as MOVE
progresses towards positive NEBT in FY26.
Operating cashflows were solid at $17.0m, up $8.1m YOY, while disciplined capital management saw
net debt reduce by $6.2m to $12.8m.
1
Normalised Earnings Before Tax is a non-GAAP metric and excludes non-controlling interest and non-trading adjustments
which were $(0.1)m in 1H26. See Appendix slide in the Investor Presentation for more information.
2
Attributable to owners of the company
MOVE has agreed terms for a new invoice finance facility of up to $22m with BNZ, to support its
working capital requirements. This will commence by 30 November 2026 and will replace the
current Pacific Invoice Finance facility, providing a meaningful reduction in the company’s financing
costs.
The Board continues to closely monitor capital requirements and balance sheet flexibility to support
the New Horizons roadmap.
Business performance
Three of MOVE’s four businesses are now delivering profitable earnings with structural changes from
the transformation plan embedded and benefits being realised.
• FREIGHT & FUEL (NEBT $1.5m): The business delivered positive normalised earnings for a
second consecutive HY period, alongside further improvements in gross margin dollars
driven by cost and efficiency initiatives. Revenue was retained at prior year levels despite
low demand for freight as economic headwinds persist. The Fuel service continues to
perform well.
• WAREHOUSING (NEBT $(2.5)m): The reset of the business continues, with early initiatives
helping to restructure and right-size the business for market conditions. The focus is now
moving to sales growth and a clear plan is in place, prioritising customer partnerships,
service excellence and productivity. While the sector remains challenging with excess
capacity and weak customer demand, MOVE Warehousing is well positioned to deliver a
quality, cost effective, nationwide solution with an integrated freight offer.
• INTERNATIONAL (NEBT $2.1m): The International business reported positive NEBT for a
second consecutive half-year period, as the Oceans trans-Tasman shipping service moves
into profit. Foundational contracted customers utilise the majority of vessel capacity, with a
new cornerstone customer onboarded in late 2Q26.
• SPECIALIST (NEBT $1.0m): The Specialist business is a consistent performer with continuing
demand for its expert services in a tighter market. Revenue is project based and 1H26 was
lighter year-on-year. Momentum is building into 2H26 with several large projects
commencing and a strong pipeline of work in place.
Outlook
After a patchy economic recovery in CY 2025, conditions are expected to gradually recover during
2026, although risk remains around the rate and speed of recovery. MOVE is managing market
challenges with a focus on cost control, disciplined working capital management, sales growth and
expanding its customer base across a wider range of sectors to counter cyclical pressures. Rebuilding
the Warehousing business remains a priority.
A lift in market activity and customer demand, alongside continued structural improvements from
the transformation plan and a strong focus on the top-line, will position the business for earnings
growth.
The company remains on track to achieve FY26 guidance of a return to positive normalised EBT.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. REPORTING ENTITY
The core operations of MOVe Logistics Group Limited (“MOVe Logistics” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively
“the Group”) are in the New Zealand logistics sector. These include general transport, bulk liquids, heavy haulage,
shipping, warehousing and distribution, freight forwarding and storage.
The Company is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and is a FMC
Reporting Entity under part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is dual listed with its primary listing
of ordinary shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a foreign Exempt
Entity on the Australian securities exchange (ASX).
The registered office of the Company is at 24-30 Paraite Road, Bell Block, New Plymouth, New Zealand. The interim
financial statements were approved for issue by the MOVe Logistics Board of Directors on 26 February 2026February 2026.
1.2. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2025 has been prepared
in accordance with accounting standards IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly,
this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public
announcements made by MOVe Logistics during the interim reporting period.
1.3. GOING CONCERN
As at 31 December 2025 the Group recorded an after tax loss attributable to owners of $0.9 million and had a working
capital deficit of $39.2 million (of which $28.1 million is current lease liability) with loans and borrowings due for refinancing
within the next twelve months.
The Group notes the impact of the current lease liability of $28.1 million on the current liability balance and considers that
there are assets available to meet the Group liabilities as they fall due. Given the liability profile, aspects of the balances
presented will be funded by ongoing future activities of the business.
Subsequent to 31 December 2025 the Group has reached agreement with the ANZ to vary its covenants and quarterly
repayments. In addition, the Group has entered a committed terms agreement for a new invoice funding arrangement
with the BNZ to replace its current facility. This facility will be effective from November 2026 with an expiry date of 31
August 2027. Full details of these facilities are set out in note 5. Borrowings.
Based on the new agreed funding arrangements and forward looking forecast approved by the Board the Group is
expected to comply with the agreed covenants for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
CONCLUSION
Having made due enquiry, the Directors conclude that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no material
uncertainties related to the Group being a going concern, and accordingly, these interim financial statements are
prepared on a going concern basis.

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
2. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements, unless disclosed below are consistent
with those used in the previously published audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 30
June 2025. There were no new standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 1 July 2025 that would have a
material impact on the Group.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The financial statements are presented
in New Zealand dollars (rounded to thousands), which is the functional currency of all companies
in the Group except MOVe Oceans Singapore PTE Limited, MOVE Oceans Limited and TNL Australia Pty Limited, whose
functional currencies are United States dollars, United States dollars and Australian dollars respectively.
3. RECONCILIATION TO GAAP MEASURE
The Group results are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“GAAP”) and
comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) and the
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”).
These interim financial statements include non-GAAP financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are as follows:
• Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a
GAAP measure), excluding interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortisation, asset impairments and
restructuring & settlement costs (non operating expenses) as reported in the financial statements.
• Adjusted EBT (a non-GAAP measure) represents profit or loss before income taxes from continuing operations (a
GAAP measure), excluding asset impairments and restructuring & settlement costs (non operating expenses) as
reported in the financial statements.
The Group believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to readers to assist in the understanding of
the financial performance and position of the Group as they are used internally to evaluate the performance of business
units and to establish operational goals. They should not be viewed in isolation, nor considered as a substitute for
measures reported in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. Non-GAAP measures as reported by the Group may
not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.
The following is a reconciliation between these non-GAAP measures and net loss after tax from continuing operations:

MOVE LOGISTICS GROUP LIMITED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT
4. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting to the Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). The CODM is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
Following a change in the strategic direction and leadership structure of the Group in FY25 there was a change to the
reportable segments. The reporting segments have been revised to align with the direction and management of these
segments. Comparative information below has been restated to reflect the revised segments. Accounting policies of the
reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies as described in note 2.
The Group has made the decision that the twelve operating segments that form part of the reporting to the Group CEO
can be aggregated into five reporting segments. Reportable segments have been determined by having regard to the
nature of the services, the processes the various business units undertake to service customers, the allocation of capital,
the type of customers serviced, and the nature of the distribution channels.
In addition to GAAP measures, the Group CEO also uses non-GAAP measures (Adjusted EBITDA and EBT) to assess the
commercial performance of the segments. The revised reportable operating segments have been determined as:
INTERNATIONAL
This segment includes international freight forwarding and shipping agency services across a broad range of industries.
SPECIALIST
This segment provides transport and lifting solutions for oversized and large items.
FREIGHT & FUEL
This segment provides nationwide general freight transport services with regional strength. It is able to transport a wide
range of freight types including delivery of bulk liquid goods.
WAREHOUSING
This segment includes warehouse and supply chain capability.
CORPORATE
This is not an operating segment but is disclosed separately as part of the segment information. It includes our corporate
services function.

Interest income and expense are not allocated to segments (excluding those related to lease liabilities), as this type of
activity is driven by the central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Sales between segments are eliminated on consolidation. The amounts provided to the CODM with respect to segment
revenue are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements.
The Group has a diverse range of customers from various industries, with only one customer contributing more than
10% of the Group’s revenue. These revenues are attributed to the Freight & Fuel segment.

Independent auditor’s review report
To the shareholders of Move Logistics Group Limited
Report on the interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the interim financial statements of Move Logistics Group Limited (the Company) and its
controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated interim balance sheet as at 31 December 2025, and
the consolidated interim statement of profit or loss & other comprehensive income, the consolidated interim
statement of changes in equity and the consolidated interim statement of cash flows for the period ended on that
date, and selected explanatory notes.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim
financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group
as at 31 December 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for the period then ended, in accordance with
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised)
