CHAIR’S REPORT 2026
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Delegat Group Limited, I am pleased to present its
operating and financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2025.
The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with the New Zealand equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).
To provide further insight into the Group’s underlying operational performance, the Group has
also included in this report an Operating Performance Report. This Operating Performance
Report excludes the impact of fair value adjustments required under NZ IFRS for grapes
and derivative financial instruments. As a fully integrated winemaking and sales operation,
Operating Profit includes the fair value adjustment in respect of grapes when packaged wine is
sold rather than on harvest of the grapes, and the fair value adjustment on derivative financial
instruments when these foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps are realised.
The Group has included a reconciliation of Operating Profit to Reported Profit which eliminates
from each line in the Statement of Financial Performance the impact of these fair value
adjustments.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE
An Operating NPAT of $29.7 million was generated compared to $28.3 million for the same
period in the previous year. Operating EBIT of $50.7 million is $2.3 million higher than the same
period last year (refer to table 1).

OPERATING PERFORMANCE CONTINUED
Delegat achieved Operating Revenue of $179.6 million on global case sales of 1,688,000 in
the six month period. As a result, revenue is up $1.0 million on the same period last year. This
is primarily due to the impact of a 3% increase in global case sales and favourable foreign
exchange movements. Gross Profit is up 3% on the same period last year due to lower cost of
goods associated with the 2025 vintage.
The Group’s case sales performance and foreign currency rates achieved are detailed in table 2.
Operating expenses (before NZ IFRS adjustments) at $38.1 million are $0.2 million higher
compared to the same period in the previous year.
Operating Net Profit After Tax of $29.7 million is $1.4 million higher compared to the same
period in the previous year. This is due to higher case sales, lower cost of goods associated
with the 2025 vintage and favourable foreign exchange movements.

NZ IFRS FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS
In accordance with NZ IFRS, the Group is required to account for certain of their assets at
‘fair value’ rather than at historic cost. All movements in these fair values are reflected in and
impact the Statement of Financial Performance. The Group records adjustments in respect of
two significant items at the half-year reporting date, as detailed in table 3.
• Harvest Provision Release (Grapes) – Inventory is valued at market value, rather than costs
incurred, at harvest. Any fair value adjustment is excluded from Operating Performance for
the year, by creating a Harvest Provision. This Harvest Provision is then released through
Cost of Sales when inventory is sold in subsequent years. This represents the reversal of
prior periods’ fair value adjustments in respect of biological produce as finished wine is
sold in subsequent years. This has resulted in an adjustment of $3.4 million for the period
(31 December 2024: adjustment of $4.1 million);
• Derivative financial instruments held to hedge the Group’s foreign currency and interest rate
exposure. The mark-to-market movement of these instruments at balance date resulted in a
fair value write-down of $6.2 million (31 December 2024: write-down of $17.8 million).
TABLE 3 IMPACT OF FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENTS
Notes:
1. Biological Produce (Grapes) is the difference between market value paid for grapes and the cost to grow grapes.
The Harvest Provision is reversed and only recognised when the finished wine is sold.
2. n/m means not meaningful.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTING TO OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Accounting for all fair value adjustments under NZ IFRS, the Group’s reported unaudited
financial performance for the six months ended 31 December 2025 is reconciled to Operating
Profit as detailed in table 4.
CASH FLOW
The Group generated Cash Flows from Operations of $62.3 million in the current half-year,
which is a decrease of $13.2 million on the same period last year. The decrease is due to higher
collections from customers in the same period last year due to the timing of case sales and
higher payments to suppliers. A total of $11.4 million was paid for additional property, plant
and equipment during the period, including vineyard developments in New Zealand, and
development of the Hawke’s Bay and Marlborough wineries, which will provide earnings growth
into the years ahead. The Group distributed $20.2 million to shareholders in dividends. Net
repayment from borrowings of $18.2 million were made during the six month period.
The Group is well positioned to fund its current operations as well as future capital investment
in both New Zealand and Australia. The Group’s Net Debt at 31 December 2025 amounted to
$307.0 million, a decrease of $38.6 million compared with the last half-year and well within the
Group’s long-term bank debt facilities of $420 million.

(NZ IFRS) as applicable to the Group as a profit-oriented entity.
The interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars, rounded to the nearest thousand. They are
prepared on a historical cost basis except for derivative financial instruments and biological produce which have
been measured at fair value.
The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires the Group to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and
various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from these
estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period, or in
the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options to economically
hedge its risk associated with foreign currency and interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk. Such financial
instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into, and
are subsequently remeasured to fair value at balance date. In estimating the fair value of the derivative financial
instruments the Group uses level 2 inputs of the fair value measurement hierarchy. The Group’s derivative financial
instruments fall into level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy because their fair value is determined using
inputs, other than quoted prices included in level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly as
prices or indirectly (derived from prices). The fair values are derived through valuation techniques that maximise the
use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. Refer to the published
financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 for a complete listing of the Group accounting policies.

2. SEGMENTAL REPORTING
The Group reviews its operational performance based upon the management and the geographic areas in which
their customers are based. Financial information which is available to management in order to assess segment
performance and investment opportunities is presented on the same basis. In accordance with NZ IFRS 8: Operating
Segments this forms the basis of presentation for Segment Reporting and is the format adopted below:
– Delegat Limited (Delegat) is party to vineyard leases and has interests in freehold land and winery infrastructure
which allows the company to grow, harvest and make finished wine to be marketed, distributed and sold into the
Super Premium wine markets. Delegat sells and markets its product through a combination of subsidiary companies
based overseas or to customers and distributors directly in the New Zealand, Canadian, Asian and Pacific Island
markets. Delegat Australia Pty Limited, Delegat Europe Limited and Delegat USA, Inc. act as distributors and
assist in the marketing of product in their respective geographic regions. Wines are sold all year round to all regions
and the Group considers there is no significant variation in revenues throughout the year.
The Group implements appropriate transfer pricing regimes within the operating segments on an arm’s length basis
in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.
Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making resource
allocations and performance assessments. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss,
which may be measured differently from operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements as segment
reporting is based upon internal management reports. The main differences are a result of some deferred tax
balances being recognised upon consolidation not being allocated to individual subsidiaries. Also intercompany
stock margin eliminations are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to operating segments.

Media release
27 February 2026
Delegat Group reports H1 FY26 results
H1 FY26 financial summary
• 1.69 million global case sales, up 3% on H1 FY25
• Operating Revenues of $179.6 million, up 1% on H1 FY25
• Operating EBITDA of $65.6 million, up 6% on H1 FY25
• Operating EBIT of $50.7 million, up 5% on H1 FY25
• Operating NPAT of $29.7 million, up 5% on H1 FY25
• Reported NPAT of $22.8 million, up 82% on H1 FY25
• Cash from Operations of $62.3 million, down 18% on H1 FY25
• Net debt down $21.6 million from 30 June 2025
NZX-listed wine maker and exporter, Delegat Group, this week reported a strong H1 FY26 result, with sales revenues of
$178.7 million, up 1% on H1 FY25, operating EBITDA of $65.6 million, up 6% on H1 FY25, and Operating NPAT of $29.7
million, up 5% on H1 FY25. The increase in Operating NPAT for H1 FY26 was due to higher case sales, lower cost of goods
associated with the 2025 vintage and favourable foreign exchange movements.
The Reported NPAT of $22.8 million is up 82% on H1 FY25, primarily driven by lower mark-to-market movements on
derivatives which has increased reported profit.
Delegat Chief Executive Officer, Murray Annabell, says the Group achieved global sales of 1.69 million cases over the six-
month period, 3% higher than the previous half-year. A solid sales performance across the majority of markets. The Group’s
sales continue to be well diversified by market, with 43% in North America, 33% in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe,
and 24% in Australia, New Zealand, China and the Asia Pacific region.
The Group achieved operating cashflows of $62.3 million in H1 FY26, which enabled the repayment of debt of $21.6 million.
Net debt is $307.0 million as at 31 December 2025. The Group has a solid asset base of $1.1b which will support long-term
growth.
The Group’s distribution channels and world-class viticulture and winemaking assets already provide strong foundations for
growth. $10.9 million was invested in property, plant, and equipment in H1 FY26, including vineyard and winery
developments in New Zealand.
The Group maintains its forecast to achieve an FY26 Operating Profit guidance in the range of $50 million to $55 million.
Ends.
