Financial result for the twelve months ended 31 March 2026 (Unaudited)


Commentary

Mainfreight is pleased to confirm our full-year financial result to 31 March 2026. Profit

performance improved during the second half of the year – although not enough to

better the prior year’s profit.


Result Summary

Revenue NZ$5.38 billion up 2.8%

Profit Before Tax NZ$350.9 million Down 8.5%

Net Profit NZ$251.0 million Down 8.5%


• Adjusted for foreign exchange impact, Group Revenue is down 0.2% and Profit

Before Tax is down 10.7%.

• Operating cashflows improved from NZ$584 million to NZ$589 million.

• A final dividend of 87.0 cents per share has been authorised by the Board of

Directors, payable on 17 July 2026.

• Land and building capex totalled NZ$112 million.


While we are disappointed to not have improved our profitability from last year, we

remain satisfied with the level of improvement during the second six months of trading.


Pleasingly, these improvements have continued into the new financial year. Trading in

April and May has been encouraging, despite disruption and uncertainty caused by the

Middle East conflict and elevated fuel pricing.


- 2 -

Land and building investments during the year totalled NZ$112 million. New facilities

were completed in Auckland, Whanganui, Hastings, New Plymouth, Brisbane,

Melbourne and Townsville. While the additional overhead cost increases as a

consequence of these investments impacted our profitability, these network investments

will provide capacity and efficiency for improved profitability long term. Customer inquiry

and commitment is providing confidence to continue our network expansion and

investments. Property projects are already underway in Perth, Nelson, Blenheim,

Palmerston North and Auckland.


Group Operating Cash Flows

Operating cash flows were NZ$589 million, up from NZ$584 million in the prior year.


Current debt facilities total NZ$510 million, of which NZ$99.9 million was drawn, a

decrease from $124.5 million in the prior year.


Net funds as at 31 March 2026 was NZ$26.6 million compared to NZ$14.4 million last

year. Gearing ratios remain satisfactory. Net capital expenditure in FY26 totalled

NZ$189 million, with expenditure on property accounting for NZ$112 million;

warehousing racking and fit out costs of NZ$39.9 million and plant, equipment and

software of NZ$36.9 million.


Total planned capital expenditure through to the end of FY2027 will be NZ$234 million,

of which NZ$174 million relates to property and fit-out.


Network growth remains a cornerstone of our long-term strategy; however branch

numbers reduced from 337 to 331 this year, addressing unprofitable performance in our

Asian Warehousing, CaroTrans in Americas, and Italian Transport business. It is our

expectation that we will increase our branch and country locations in the near term.


- 3 -

Dividend

The Directors have approved a final dividend of 87.0 cents per share fully imputed at

the 28% company tax rate. With the record date on 9 July 2026, payment will be made

on 17 July 2026. This brings the full year dividend to 172.0 cents per share.


Discretionary Bonus

The payment of discretionary bonuses is based on satisfactory profit performance. A

total of NZ$46.3 million will be shared with team members in branches who have

contributed satisfactory profits in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe.


Divisional Performance (figures in local currencies)


New Zealand (NZ$)

Revenue NZ$1.20 billion Up 3.8%

Profit Before Tax NZ$120.8 million Down 10.2%


Despite the profit result being behind our expectations and the results of the prior year,

improvements during our second half, pre bonus, have been encouraging.


In Transport we have increased our market share with a number of new customers.

We expect this increased trading to continue during the year ahead. The use of rail

increased; however we remain concerned at the fragility of ferry capacity and schedules

across the Cook Strait through until 2029. Refrigerated transport capability has

increased and is assisting growth across the perishable food sector.


Complementing our Transport growth is additional customer commitments for

Warehousing services. New warehousing facilities now incorporate chilled capacity to

support the refrigeration transport capability. Our new leased facility in Christchurch is

due to become available mid-year and provides an increased capacity to 34,000 pallets.


Consolidation of smaller warehouses exiting existing leases has provided the impetus to

commit to a new 55,000 pallet facility in South Auckland. Delivery of this site is expected

in mid-2028.


- 4 -


Air & Ocean revenues have remained consistent, and despite ocean freight rate

reductions, volumes have improved with import market share increasing. Post result,

air freight rates have increased, and capacity has decreased, as a consequence of the

Middle East conflict.


Trading across all three divisions in New Zealand through April and into May has been

satisfactory, and an improvement on the year prior.


Australia (AU$)

Revenue AU$1.51 billion Up 0.2%

Profit Before Tax AU$152.6 million Up 11.1%


Our sales growth and profitability improvements, excluding Projects, has been pleasing

in Australia. Transport is our strongest performer, where market share in the LTL

express delivery market continues to grow. Stronger than expected performance in the

FTL category has complemented this growth. The use of rail linehaul has assisted.

Delivery of our new Brisbane cross-dock is imminent providing enhanced capacity. Size

constraints in Perth, Western Australia, have required commitment to a larger cross-

dock, with expected completion late 2027.


Warehousing has produced pleasing profitability improvements alongside improved

utilisation and revenue, with better efficiency across a number of warehousing sites

contributing to this result. Increased warehousing capacity in the Brisbane region has

been required due to new customer contracts.


Closure of the Projects division in Perth has allowed a stronger focus on our core

competencies in the LCL and FCL export and import sector for Air & Ocean. A one-off

bad debt of A$5 million associated with the Projects division is included in this result.


Trading post year end has continued the growth we have seen during the financial year.


- 5 -

Asia (US$)

Revenue US$117.5 million Down 6.9%

Profit Before Tax US$12.9 million Up 31.4%


Asia continues to be our smallest revenue contributor. Margins and cost overheads have

improved in the region which has resulted in profitability improvement.


Poor performing warehouses were closed during the year. It is our intention over the

medium term to remain focussed on developing our Air & Ocean capability. We expect

better contributions from our Southeast Asian locations.


Irrespective of tariff implications, Asia continues to be a major contributor to

international trade. Our customers across the international network are utilising us to

move raw materials and finished product from the region across our freight networks

and into our warehouses around the world.



Europe (Euro €)

Revenue €624.0 million Up 3.5%

Profit Before Tax €25.2 million Down 18.6%


Disappointing Transport performance across our European network has contributed to

our profit decline. Increased labour costs and an inefficiency in our cross-docks

contributed to this result. The Netherlands and Belgium remain our strongest

performing countries.


Warehousing returns were satisfactory during the year, and sales activities are focussed

on improving current warehouse utilisation.


While our Transport and Warehousing networks are comprehensive, there is much to

do to find greater levels of efficiency and improved profit returns, particularly from our

branches in France, Romania, Poland, the United Kingdom and Germany.


- 6 -

Our Air & Ocean performance continues to improve across Europe and is attracting

greater levels of customer enquiry and volume.


Rate reviews and closer management of overhead costs saw a better second half

performance across all European activities, and this has continued into April and May

trading.


The Americas (US$)

Revenue US$616.3 million Down 7.4%

Profit Before Tax US$(7.9 million) Down 151.7%


We had a disappointing result for our business across the Americas. Included in this

result is a one-off labour settlement cost of US$1.6 million.


Transport suffered poor margin return, whilst sales revenues increased. Second half

margins and service delivery did improve, and it is our expectation this will help results

over the medium term. Strong sales activities are helping our Mid West and East Coast

locations to improve profitability. Road freight utilisation improvements have increased

post year end.


Despite acceptable Warehousing utilisation rates in Dallas and Chicago, we have had

poor returns from our warehouses in New Jersey and California. New customers under

contract are expected to improve utilisation in our new financial year. A larger

warehouse with 30,000 pallet capacity was opened in Toronto, Canada, as a result of

new customer commitments.


Air & Ocean profitability declined during the year as a result of decreased volumes and

ocean freight rates, particularly on the Trans Pacific lane from China due to the trade

tariff fiasco. Diversifying our trade lane sales activities assisted profitability during the

second half, and we are seeing increasing profit performance and volume post year

end, including volume increases from China.


- 7 -

Despite the poor profitability, we are improving our quality and capability and, while we

remain a small player relative to the size of the market, the Americas offer significant

potential and has an important role to play in our long term international aspirations.


Fuel Supply Disruptions

As a consequence of the Middle Eastern conflict, the cost of fuel, in particular diesel,

has increased significantly. These cost increases had a marginal effect on trading this

financial year, with increases only beginning to impact at the end of March 2026.


Our domestic transport business worldwide is the most affected by fuel cost increases.

Diesel remains the preferred and necessary fuel for freight distribution, and sea and air

freight cost increases follow accordingly. Fuel adjustment factors are applied to our

customers' freight rates as a means to recover the fuel cost increases. These

adjustments are passed through to our owner drivers, contractors and service providers.

It is our expectation that fuel costs will remain elevated for some time to come.


At the time of writing, we are comfortable that supply constraints will not feature in the

medium term. In New Zealand, we are working closely with the Government to stay

abreast of supply strategies.


Outlook

Improved trading conditions that assisted our second half performance have continued

to further improve during April and May. Stronger than expected sales growth has

assisted.


Supply chain freight solutions continue to be a strong focus in our customer

relationships as we offer an increasing range of services. During the year we have

increased trading across all three divisions for our top 500 customers to 41% from 39%

the year prior. We remain focused on high quality freight services, particularly across

the food, beverage and retail customer verticals.


Maintaining an emphasis on underlying business improvements is a high priority as fuel

volatility adds to economic growth uncertainty and inflationary pressure.


- 8 -

Whilst we are disappointed that this year’s result was below our expectations, we

remain confident of ongoing improvement in the year ahead and will be continuing our

network and facility expansion as a consequence.


Mainfreight will release its financial results for the first half of the 2027 financial year to

the market on 12 November 2026 and expect to update current trading performance

during our Annual General Meeting on 30 July 2026.

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses whose

operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief operating decision maker and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group operates in the domestic supply chain (i.e. moving and storing freight within countries) and air and ocean freight industries

(i.e. moving freight between countries).

New Zealand, Australia, The Americas, Asia and Europe are each reported to management as separate segments as the businesses there perform both

domestic and air and ocean services.

The segmental results from operations are disclosed below.
