Welcome to Turners’ Annual Report.
Another year. Another record. Another reason to
say: Beep Beep!
FY26 has been a year of momentum. Across Auto
Retail, Finance, Insurance, and our growing
Turners Servicing & Repairs division, our
diversified model has once again demonstrated
that it was built for the long road – not just the
open stretches, but the potholes, the road cones
and the occasional roundabout that the New
Zealand economy likes to throw at us.
This year, we find ourselves at an interesting
juncture. The hard yards of a decade’s strategic
execution are behind us. What’s ahead is the part
we’ve been building towards: a clear pathway to
future growth, with the foundations already in
place and the engine well and truly warmed up.
We’ll get into the detail of what that looks like,
and why we think the platform we’ve assembled
is genuinely difficult for anyone else to replicate,
in the pages that follow.
To our team, our customers and to you, our
shareholders: thank you. The next chapter is
shaping up to be the best one yet.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
A decade ago, we set out to build
something different. Not just a
used car yard with ambitions, but
a genuine ecosystem, one where
buying, selling, financing, insuring
and now servicing a vehicle all
happen under one trusted roof. Year
by year, deal by deal, big blue wall
by big blue wall, that’s exactly what
we’ve built.
Turners isn’t just New Zealand’s largest buyer and
seller of used vehicles, it’s a deeply integrated
platform built over a decade to serve Kiwi
customers at every stage of their vehicle journey.
From our national network of sites stretching
from Whangarei to Invercargill, to our Finance,
Insurance and Servicing & Repairs businesses,
each part of our group is designed to work better
because of the others. That’s
a combination that takes
years to build, and one that
is genuinely difficult to
replicate.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Sourcing is our super power
It starts with sourcing smarter. Our unique mix of consigned and owned stock gives us flexibility
and resilience across market cycles. We are increasingly using brand trust, national branch coverage,
pricing tools and data insights to identify and acquire vehicles that customers actually want – not
just what happens to be available.
Scalable platform
From there, scale does the heavy lifting. More quality stock means more listings. More listings mean
more eyeballs. More eyeballs mean stronger digital and branch traffic. And stronger traffic supports
more branches, more efficiency, and greater national reach. It’s a simple idea that behaves anything
but simply at scale – it becomes a network effect that strengthens our market position.
Add-on sales
That scale then feeds directly into our higher-margin businesses: Oxford Finance and Autosure
Insurance. Every vehicle sold creates multiple opportunities for embedded finance and insurance
products at the point of sale. These are not add-ons in the traditional sense, they are integrated
WHY WE LIKE THE USED CAR
ECOSYSTEM
At Turners, we have a simple philosophy – get the right car, at the
right price and keep the eco system moving. At its core, our auto retail
ecosystem turns sourcing, selling, finance, insurance and servicing into one
reinforcing loop. The strength of the model comes from how each part
improves the next – creating a compounding advantage over time rather
than a one-off transaction.
6
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
parts of the customer journey that improve affordability, enhance convenience and lift overall
transaction margins.
And we’re extending that model even further with Turners Service & Repairs. This adds another
layer to the ecosystem, keeping customers within the Turners network for longer and increasing
lifetime value.
Investing in our platform
Over the past few years, we’ve deliberately invested across each stage of this loop – improving
data capability, digital experience, pricing discipline and finance penetration. The outcome is a
more efficient, more scalable and more resilient business model that continues to compound
performance.
In short, the used car ecosystem works because every part of it strengthens the next, and great
businesses are even better together.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
This financial commentary should be read in conjunction with the full financial statements and
Notes to the Financial Statements in the FY26 Annual Report.
FY26 FINANCIAL REVIEW
FY26 was a landmark year for
Turners Automotive Group. We
delivered a record normalised net
profit before tax of $63.2 million,
up 16% on the prior year, with
each of our three core automotive
divisions – Auto Retail, Finance
and Insurance – delivering profit
growth.
This result brings forward the Group’s $65
million NPBT target (originally set for FY28)
into FY27, and lays the foundation for the new
$100 million NPBT target by FY31.
Group revenue rose 9% to $451.2 million, with
growth across Auto Retail (+$27m), Finance
(+$9m) and Insurance (+$3m), partly offset
by a reduction in EC Credit Control due to
constrained referral volumes (-$2m).
Normalised NPBT grew 16% to $63.2 million,
reflecting margin expansion in our three
core divisions, strong operating leverage in
Finance, and the benefit of lower corporate
interest costs following the refinancing of
our banking facilities and the successful
execution of our inaugural $200 million
public securitisation in October 2025.
Reported NPAT of $38.2 million included a
non-cash goodwill write-down of $7.5 million
relating to EC Credit, consistent with guidance
provided in March 2026. Normalised for this
item, NPAT grew 18% to $45.6 million and
normalised EPS rose 16% to 50.4 cents per
share.
Our balance sheet strengthened materially
during FY26. Total assets grew to $1,071
million, driven by a $119 million increase in
finance receivables and a $35 million increase
in property, plant and equipment as we
continued investing in our branch network.
Shareholders’ equity increased to $318 million
from $298 million a year earlier. The Group’s
capital allocation framework remains anchored
to our 15% return on equity target, and the
capital released through the securitisation is
being progressively redeployed to fund further
growth in Oxford Finance.
The Board declared a final dividend of 9.0
cents per share, fully imputed, bringing the
full-year dividend to 33.0 cents per share —
up 14% on FY25. This represents a compound
annual growth rate of 10.5% in the past 12
years. The dividend reinvestment plan has
been applied to the final FY26 dividend.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Dear Shareholder
FY26 has delivered another record result,
and another reason to feel good about where
Turners is headed.
Net profit before tax of $63.2 million
6
was
ahead of our upgraded guidance and we are
tracking to achieve our $65 million FY28 target
a full year in advance, reflecting the strength
of a business that is firing on all cylinders.
A decade of deliberate, disciplined strategy
has brought us to this point: a deeply
integrated platform, a national network that
is genuinely difficult to replicate, and a clear
pathway to the next phase of growth. We’re
not stopping here.
The year in review
“We have performed well in a
down cycle and will perform even
better in an upcycle.”
FY26 demanded resilience, and our team
delivered it. Consumer confidence remained
fragile through much of the year, particularly in
the first half. Demand was subdued, stock was
expensive to source, and we were working in a
market that wasn’t giving anything away. Our
team responded to the challenging conditions
with discipline: careful inventory management,
selective buying, and a focus on credit quality.
That discipline set up a second half that was
the strongest in our history, culminating in a
record fourth quarter with strong vehicle sales
volumes, improved margins in Auto Retail, and
record new lending months in January and
February for the Finance division.
Our Finance business has been one of the
stars of the FY26 result. Growing a loan book
27% while simultaneously tightening credit
standards is not something many lenders can
say. Consumer arrears at 2.5% against the
industry’s 5.6% is a gap that’s
widened over the past two years, a reflection
of how we assess and manage credit risk.
The securitisation warehouse we completed
in October 2025 was a major milestone. It
validates the quality of our loan book in the
capital markets, lowers our cost of funds, and
provides the funding infrastructure to keep
growing.
Working our capital harder
From a funding perspective, we are in a
strong position. The termed-out securitisation
warehouse, combined with new syndicated
banking facilities signed in April 2026,
provides a robust funding platform to support
our FY31 growth ambitions while maintaining
balance sheet discipline.
Importantly, the warehouse term-out and the
extension of our syndicated banking facilities
at higher facility levels are a sign of confidence
from our funders and, ultimately, reflect
positively on the risk profile these funders
attribute to our business.
We’ve also made a clear-eyed decision about
EC Credit. It’s a good business, but it isn’t core
to what Turners is building. We’ve recognised
that through the goodwill write-down.
Targets are meant to be beaten
Since 2021, Turners has set multi-year profit
targets and then gone ahead and hit them
early. We delivered our $45 million FY24
target a year ahead of schedule. We delivered
our $50 million FY25 target a year ahead of
schedule. Based on FY26’s momentum, we
now expect to deliver the $65 million FY28
target a year early, in FY27.
We don’t set targets to manage expectations.
We set them to stretch ourselves, and then
we hold ourselves accountable. At our March
2026 Investor Day, we set the next chapter:
$100 million NPBT by FY31. FY26 was a strong
message of our intent.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Track record of dividend growth
“We aim to provide shareholders
with a reliable and growing cash
return while retaining enough
capital to fund growth.”
The Board has declared a final dividend of 9.0
cents per share, fully imputed, taking the full-
year dividend to 33.0 cents per share, up 14%
on last year. That’s a compound annual rate of
10.5% over the past twelve years. Sustaining
this return of value to our shareholders
requires the same discipline in capital
allocation that has characterised this business
from the beginning, and the Board remains
firmly committed to it.
Every division pulling in the same direction
Auto Retail continued to build on its position
as New Zealand’s largest buyer and seller
of used vehicles. Our sourcing strategy,
increasingly focused on domestic supply, is
proving a genuine competitive advantage,
and the ongoing expansion of our physical
network is reinforcing our presence in key
markets. We also saw strong performance
from our commercial divisions, damaged and
end-of-life revenues. Strategically, the biggest
opportunity remains expanding the branch
network and we have kept up our momentum
despite the macro backdrop.
Finance delivered another strong result, with
the loan book growing in both volume and
quality. Consumer lending has increased while
commercial lending has decreased, and a new
unsecured lending product is performing well.
Arrears remained well below market levels,
a testament to our disciplined approach to
credit.
Insurance continued to build momentum,
particularly through our digital and direct-
to-consumer channels. Early sales activity
following the launch of a new MBI product for
the ‘private to private’ car market has been
encouraging and validates this channel as a
complementary, scalable growth opportunity.
Turners Servicing & Repairs, still in its early
stages, is already contributing and positioning
us to capture a meaningful share of a $3 billion
market that sits right alongside everything else
we do.
As flagged earlier in the year, we reviewed
the carrying value of the EC Credit business,
resulting in a non-cash goodwill write down
of $7.5m. EC Credit is the smallest part of
our Group and is non-core to our automotive
platform strategy.
Our focus, capital and energy are firmly
pointed at the automotive ecosystem where
we see the most compelling long-term
opportunity. We will keep investing in our
people, our property, our technology and our
brands to ensure that the platform we’ve built
remains the one Kiwis turn to when it comes
to buying, selling, financing, insuring and
servicing their vehicles.
You can read more on individual business
performance on pages 16 to 19.
Growing the Network
Dealer numbers across New Zealand have
been declining for years, and that trend is
accelerating. Sourcing vehicles is becoming
harder and more expensive for smaller
operators. The compliance burden is rising.
The investment required to compete digitally
is substantial. These are headwinds for the
industry, but they are tailwinds for Turners. As
barriers rise and sub-scale operators continue
to exit, our network, our brand and our
integrated platform become more valuable.
We are well placed to continue gaining market
share, and we intend to do so.
We remain firm believers that being closer
to our customers drives sales and generates
more sourcing leads.
13
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
We now own 18 of 33 sites nationwide with a
cost value of $166 million, and have more in
active development. The pipeline is building
well and we continue to see opportunities to
purchase sites at attractive valuations as we
move through the interest rate cycle.
The Christchurch branch expansion is the
clearest example of our rollout economics in
action. Three new branches, a 15% increase
in sourcing leads and a 22% increase in local
units sold. The model works, and is exactly the
operating leverage we’re aiming to replicate as
the network expands and we locate branches
closer to key population catchment areas.
We have four more new branches plus two
replacement branches in development
for FY28. FY27 will be a year of building
and preparing rather than opening, laying
important groundwork for the next wave of
growth.
Tina 2.0
This year, Tina expanded her horizons
considerably, casting her net from Paekākāriki
to Putāruru, from Gizzy to Omaha. We
increased our media investment to $5.1 million,
and the campaign did something clever - it
worked both sides of the business, supporting
vehicle sourcing as well as retail sales.
The results speak for themselves. Tina took
out both the Kantar Ad Impact Award and the
Supreme Kantar Ad Impact Award in 2025 —
recognition that the campaign isn’t just loved,
it’s working. The song has racked up over
14,000 plays on Spotify, which is remarkable
for any track and almost unheard of for a radio
ad. It made the quarter-finals of ZM’s Unofficial
National Anthem competition, where it was
narrowly edged out by Poi-E, and it was the
winner of the Marketing Association’s 2020s
Best Ad.
More importantly, the campaign delivered
where it really counts: lead volumes lifted
and cars bought lifted. Tina isn’t just
entertainment, she’s helping our team of 700
to drive the business forward.
The campaign keeps working because it keeps
being true. New Zealanders have cars they
love, cars they’ve grown out of, and cars with
a Macca’s bag in the back that’s been there
longer than anyone’s admitting. We’re here for
all of them.
People and Purpose
Behind every result in this report is a team
that shows up, cares deeply about what
they’re doing, and increasingly has skin in
the game. More than 65% of our team are
shareholders through our Employee Share
Scheme, a statistic we are genuinely proud of,
and one that speaks to the culture we have
built. Employee engagement remains very
strong, with scores in the top 5% of consumer
businesses globally. Importantly, we continue
to promote from inside our business, reflecting
the calibre of the people who work at
Turners. Our culture is the result of deliberate
investment in our people and one of the most
important competitive advantages we have.
On behalf of the Board, we want to
acknowledge the Turners team. FY26 was
demanding in the first half and exhilarating
in the second. The people who navigated
both halves with the same focus and
professionalism are the reason we’re writing
about a record result.
14
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Looking Ahead
Late March 2026 brought fresh uncertainty
as geopolitical events weighed on consumer
sentiment, and April trading in Auto Retail has
been subdued. We’ve seen this before.
In Auto Retail, we have implemented the
same “tough macro” playbook used in FY24
and FY25: strong cost focus, more selective
buying, and positioning inventory for where
demand is — including cheaper smaller engine
vehicles and increased purchasing of smaller
hybrids.
In the meantime, Finance and Insurance keep
building. They’re annuity businesses - they
don’t stop when a car yard gets quiet. That
diversification is enormously valuable in
periods like this.
We remain confident in our trajectory and
expect to deliver the $65 million FY28 target a
year early, in FY27. That will be the third time
we’ve beaten a multi-year target ahead of
schedule. And after that, we’ll have our sights
firmly set on $100 million by FY31.
The platform is built, the team is exceptional
and we have a five-year strategy which we
believe is credible, funded and executable.
We have great businesses that are even better
together - each part of our business makes
the others stronger, and the platform we have
assembled is one that cannot be quickly or
easily replicated. That’s what the next chapter
is about - not building something new from
scratch, but unlocking the full potential
of what we’ve already built - and we are
genuinely excited about what that looks like.
To our team, our customers, and to you, our
shareholders: thank you. The best is yet to
come.
Beep beep!

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
HOW OUR BUSINESSES
PERFORMED
Auto Retail remains the biggest driver of Turners’ performance, delivering
the majority of revenue and a strong share of profit in FY26. Its strength
comes from scale and a simple but powerful idea: more good cars in, more
customers through the system, and more value captured across finance,
insurance and services. It’s a model that keeps moving and keeps improving.
SEGMENT REVENUE
SEGMENT NPBT (NORMALISED)
AUTO RETAIL
Revenue $315.3M 10%
Segment Profit $32.6M 12%
Auto Retail demonstrated exactly the resilience and discipline we believe distinguishes Turners
from the broader used vehicle market.
A tough first half, characterised by subdued consumer demand and constrained vehicle sourcing,
gave way to a significantly stronger second half in which our proactive stock management and
pricing optimisation delivered the margin expansion we had been positioning for.
Whilst overall volumes were flat, total owned units sold lifted 9% on the prior year. Our deliberate
focus on the lower-priced vehicle segment, where demand proved most resilient, was a key
commercial lever. By maintaining tight control over acquisition costs and stock turn, we were able to
protect margin without sacrificing volume.
The Tina 2.0 brand campaign, launched in May 2025, supported both sourcing and retail activity,
with total media investment increasing 15% to $5.1 million, a signal of our confidence in the Turners
brand as a genuine competitive advantage.
Our branch network expansion continued at pace during FY26. Three new Christchurch branches
opened during the first half and moved to full operational capacity over the course of the year.
The results speak for themselves: Christchurch locally purchased units sold increased 22% versus
previous year in the single branch location, validating our branch rollout economics and giving us

confidence in the broader national network build-out programme. We have four new branches and
two replacement branches currently in development, scheduled for opening across FY28, with FY27
serving as a period of preparation rather than opening.
The commercial division was a standout performer. Damaged and end-of-life vehicle revenues grew
10%, and our Trucks & Machinery segment expanded 8%, both benefiting from stronger liquidation
activity and improved sourcing of commercial inventory. This segment continues to provide useful
counter-cyclicality to the broader retail business, as commercial fleet activity tends to be less
sensitive to consumer sentiment.
The combination of network expansion, brand investment and commercial diversification positions
Auto Retail well for the next phase of growth.
FINANCE
Loan Book $566M 27%
Segment Profit $19.2M 19%
Finance delivered a record result in FY26, and it is a business we are particularly proud of. The loan
book grew 27% to $566 million, driven by a 50%-plus increase in new consumer lending volumes,
all achieved while we simultaneously tightened our credit policy. That combination of accelerating
growth and improving credit quality is not a coincidence: it reflects the sustained investment we
have made in our proprietary origination platform and the compounding benefits of our integrated
automotive ecosystem.
Credit quality metrics remain exceptional and, in our view, are among the strongest in the New
Zealand consumer finance market. Consumer arrears stood at 2.5% at 31 March 2026, compared
with an industry average of 5.6%
7
– a gap that has widened over the past two years. Premium tier
lending now accounts for 59% of the ledger, up from 56% a year earlier. We tightened credit policy
during the year and the book continues to season well.
Net Interest Margin
8
improved to 5.7%, supported by stabilising cost of funds and continued
repricing of the loan book. We increased our hedged borrowing ratio to approximately 85%,
reducing earnings volatility and providing a more predictable funding cost environment as we grow.
Unsecured lending is a new product area for Oxford Finance, with unsecured loans limited to higher
quality Premium and Tier 1 risk clients only. The product is performing well and arrears are tracking
below forecast levels in the early period. Risk-adjusted returns are being achieved over and above
the secured lending, which is helpful in stabilising our overall margin profile.
The single most significant capital management milestone of FY26 was the term-out of our $200
million public securitisation warehouse in October 2025, the Group’s inaugural public securitisation
transaction. This has lowered our funding costs, reduced our capital commitment, and demonstrated
capital market access that supports the long-term ambitions of the Finance business.
Operating leverage was a defining feature of the year. Lending volumes rose materially while
headcount grew at a slower rate, producing strong incremental margin on new business. New
syndicated banking facilities signed in April 2026 have further increased our receivables funding
capacity. With a materially larger loan book entering FY27 and stable margins, Finance is positioned
to again be a key earnings driver as we advance toward our FY31 targets.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
INSURANCE
Revenue $50.2M 6%
Segment Profit $17.3M 7%
Insurance continued to build on its track record of steady, compounding growth in FY26. Revenue
grew 6% to $50.2 million and segment NPBT rose 7% to $17.3 million, with growth across all
portfolios. The business benefits from the structural advantage of its deep integration into our
automotive platform: when a customer buys a vehicle from Turners and finances it through our
Finance division, Insurance is a natural next step and our conversion rates reflect that.
Our core dealer and finance broker partnerships remained the primary driver of premium growth,
providing the scale and consistency that underpin the Insurance business model. During FY26,
we added several new distribution partners — including VTNZ, Gaspy and Quashed — which
meaningfully extended Autosure’s digital footprint and introduced our products to new customer
segments. These partnerships validate the quality of our product and the strength of the Autosure
brand within the broader automotive ecosystem.
We continued to invest in digital distribution capability, with the launch of a new Mechanical
Breakdown Insurance product targeting the private-to-private vehicle market. This is an exciting
development: the private sale market represents a significant and historically underserved
opportunity for MBI. Early sales activity has been encouraging, and we see this channel as a
scalable, complementary growth opportunity with minimal incremental capital requirement. Our
direct-to-consumer comprehensive motor vehicle offering also added a useful diversified revenue
stream during the year.
Claims cost inflation – a challenge across the global insurance sector – has been well managed. MBI
loss ratios edged up to 58% (from 57% in FY25), a modest movement that remains consistent with
long-term historical trends and well within acceptable bounds. Earned premium is holding up very
well, and claims ratios are stable. The combination of new distribution channels, digital capability
investment and the structural tailwind of a growing auto retail and finance network positions
Insurance for continued progress in FY27 and beyond.
TURNERS SERVICING & REPAIRS
Turners Servicing & Repairs (TSR) represents a long-term growth opportunity within our
integrated automotive platform, and FY26 was a year of meaningful strategic progress for the
business.
The most important step was the completion of our rebrand from MyAutoShop to Turners Servicing
& Repairs – a decision that reflects our conviction that the highly trusted Turners brand carries
significant awareness and equity with New Zealand consumers, and that we should be leveraging it
fully across every customer touchpoint in our ecosystem.
The partnership with VTNZ was expanded during FY26 to include pre-purchase inspections.
Together, we also developed the WoF Wizard, a tool designed to simplify and demystify the WoF
process for vehicle owners. This creates a natural entry point into TSR’s broader service offering –
and, critically, into the wider Turners’ customer relationship.
18
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Cross-sell and upsell activity with Turners’ broader customer base is beginning to contribute
meaningfully. Service plans sold with vehicles at point of sale are an early example of the integration
we are building across the group. The expansion of our mobile mechanic network – deployed in
locations that mirror the Turners retail branch footprint – is underway and extends our service reach
without the capital intensity of fixed-site premises. TSR remains in its early commercial phase, but
the foundations being laid in FY26 position it well to become an increasingly meaningful contributor
to the Group as the network scales.
CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Revenue $8.5M 17%
Normalised Segment Profit $1.8M 49%
EC Credit Management is no longer considered a core part of the Turners Group strategy, and
FY26 accelerated our thinking on the appropriate path forward for this business.
Revenue declined 17% to $8.5 million and normalised segment NPBT fell 49% to $1.8 million
(excluding the goodwill write-down), as referral volumes were constrained throughout the year.
Several large corporate clients placed temporary holds on debt referrals during significant system
implementations, while tougher consumer conditions made it harder for debtors to consistently
maintain payment arrangements.
Collections performance remained resilient in the circumstances, with debt collected broadly in line
with FY25 and ahead of FY24, supported by a 9% lift in the payment arrangement bank. However,
the structural headwinds facing the business – in combination with its non-core status within our
integrated automotive platform – prompted a review of the carrying value of the business. As a
result, a non-cash goodwill write-down of $7.5 million was recorded, consistent with the $7 to $9
million range indicated in the March 2026 guidance update.
Going forward, the ECCC business is positioned for potential divestment over the medium term.

MORE BRANCHES. MORE
LEADS. MORE CHRISTCHURCH.
During FY26, Turners added three new branches across Christchurch.
The early results suggest the strategy is doing exactly what it was designed
to do: getting us closer to customers and generating more sourcing leads.
TURNERS HORNBY,
CHRISTCHURCH
22
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Christchurch is one of New Zealand’s largest and fastest-growing cities, so having a stronger local
presence simply makes sense. More branches mean more visibility, more convenience, and more
opportunities for customers to buy, sell, trade or finance their next vehicle closer to home.
With three locations operating through part of the year, sourcing leads across the region increased
by 15% compared to operating a single branch for the full year. That increased activity helped drive
a 22% lift in locally sourced units sold across the Christchurch region.
The expansion also created opportunities for internal promotion, with experienced Turners team
members stepping up to lead the new branches with real pride, helping establish the branches as
part of their local communities from day one.
The Christchurch rollout continues to validate our broader network expansion strategy: be closer
to customers, source more vehicles locally, and create a bigger, more connected ecosystem around
every branch.

BUILDING A BETTER
BUSINESS
At Turners, we believe building a better business means creating long-term
value in a way that supports our customers, our people, our communities
and the future of New Zealand’s transport sector.
Our approach is focused on two areas where
we believe we can make the greatest impact:
Supporting the transition of the
New Zealand light vehicle fleet to a lower
emission future.
Enhancing the wellbeing of our staff,
customers, stakeholders, and the
communities in which we operate.
As one of New Zealand’s largest automotive
retailers and finance providers, we recognise
the important role we can play in helping New
Zealanders access newer, safer and more fuel-
efficient vehicles. Through the scale of our
network, the breadth of our vehicle offering
and the support of finance and insurance
solutions, we continue to help customers make
practical and affordable vehicle choices.
At the same time, we remain focused
on creating a positive and supportive
environment for our people and customers,
while contributing meaningfully to the
communities we serve across New Zealand.
This includes ongoing investment in safety,
wellbeing, community partnerships, and
initiatives that strengthen our culture and
customer experience.
Climate-related Disclosures
The pending amendments to the climate
reporting legislation will mean that Turners
Automotive Group will not be required to
prepare climate reporting as our market
capitalisation is under the new $1bn market
capitalisation threshold. In recognition of the
incoming legislation, the Financial Markets
Authority has granted “no action” relief to
affected issuers. Consequently, after carefully
evaluating the administrative complexity
and costs of complying with the Climate
Standards, we have elected to discontinue
the publication of a formal Climate-Related
Disclosures report. Turners continues to
monitor climate risks and opportunities and
track key metrics including Scope 1 and 2
emissions.
Climate-related risks and opportunities
Turner’s Audit, Risk Management and
Sustainability Committee has completed its
annual review of climate-related risks and
opportunities. As no material changes have
been identified since the previous reporting
period, these disclosures are not restated here.
For full details, please refer to pages 12-16 of
the Turners 2025 Climate-related Disclosures
report.
SUPPORTING THE
TRANSITION OF
THE NEW ZEALAND
LIGHT VEHICLE
FLEET TO A
CLEANER, LOWER
EMISSION FUTURE
Turners operates at the centre of New Zealand’s
used vehicle market, giving us a unique oppor-
tunity to support the gradual transition toward
a lower-emission light vehicle fleet.
We recognise that meaningful change will
happen over time and needs to remain
practical and affordable for everyday New
Zealanders. As one of the country’s largest
used vehicle retailers, we play an important
role in helping customers move from older, less
fuel-efficient vehicles into newer vehicles with
24
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
improved fuel economy, lower emissions and
enhanced safety features.
More than 90% of the vehicles we sell are
sourced from within New Zealand’s existing
vehicle fleet, meaning our business is closely
connected to the ongoing renewal and
improvement of the national car park.
Through our damaged and end-of-life vehicle
operations, we also help remove older and
higher-emitting vehicles from the road,
supporting the natural replacement cycle of
the fleet.
Customer demand for lower-emission vehicles
continues to grow. During FY26, sales of
electric and hybrid vehicles increased by 2.3
percentage points, reflecting both increased
consumer acceptance and greater availability
of these vehicles within the used market. This
has driven the electric and hybrid vehicles
segment to 14.2% of our total light vehicle
sales mix, up from 11.9% in the previous
financial year.
Within our own operations, we remain focused
on areas where we can influence outcomes.
This includes the continued transition of our
company vehicle fleet toward Low Emission
Vehicles (LEVs
9
) – now at 83%, up from 74% at
March 2025.
We believe this practical and measured
approach supports long-term value creation
while contributing positively to New Zealand’s
evolving lower-emission transport future.

ENHANCING THE WELLBEING OF OUR
PEOPLE, CUSTOMERS, STAKEHOLDERS AND
THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH WE OPERATE
OUR GOALS
Maintain employee engagement in the
top 5% category
Promote a diverse and inclusive culture
across the organisation
Having a strong culture and an engaged team
is very important to us and a key advantage
for our business. Our people deliver day in, day
out for our customers and for our shareholders
— and the numbers continue to prove it.
Our formula remains simple but powerful: a
quality environment for our people leads to
quality customer experiences, which leads to
quality outcomes for our shareholders. Every
metric we track on our people tells us that
formula is working.
One of the clearest indicators of that
connection is share ownership. More than 67%
of our team are now shareholders through our
Employee Share Scheme, up from 53% the
previous year. When our people own a piece of
what they’re building, they show up differently
and it shows.
Turnover continued to fall, reaching 17% in
FY26, down from 21% the prior year. Put
simply, people love working for Turners.
That’s not something we take for granted, it’s
something we work hard to earn, every year.
Training and development remain a
cornerstone of our investment in people.
We logged more than 21,000 training hours
in FY26, reflecting our belief that growing
our people’s capability is one of the best
investments we can make. Nowhere is that
more visible than in our leadership pipeline:
12 of 14 leadership positions were filled
internally this year, demonstrating our genuine
commitment to development and to providing
real career pathways for our people. That does
not happen by accident. It is the result of years
of deliberate investment in talent management
and succession planning.
This year, 33 of our people graduated from our
Aspiring Leaders programme, taking our total
number of graduates to more than 130 over
the past four years. We are incredibly proud of
what this programme represents, not just the
26
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
skills developed, but the message it sends to
our entire team: there is a path forward here,
and we will back you on it.
We continue to provide all team members with
access to EAP services, helping them navigate
challenges at work or at home and supporting
their general health and wellbeing. We have
promoted this service heavily again this year
and are pleased to see our team take full
advantage of this valuable support.
The results across all of these measures
reinforce something we’ve long believed –
that investing in our people isn’t just the right
thing to do, it’s a genuine business advantage.
A team that feels valued, supported and
connected to the success of the business
delivers better outcomes for customers,
and better outcomes for shareholders. That
virtuous cycle is at the heart of everything
we do.

AUDREY WIKIRIWHI
ACCOUNTANT, AUTOSURE
Behind the scenes of the Turners Group are a lot of moving parts
keeping everything running smoothly. At Autosure Insurance,
accountant Audrey Wikiriwhi is proof that loyalty, continuous
learning and a bit of competitive spirit can go hand in hand.
With service across the wider Turners Group dating back to
2009 (and earlier experience with DPL Insurance and Dorchester
Pacific from 1999), Audrey has developed a deep understanding
of how the Group fits together. Not one to stand still, she
recently completed a Diploma in Business Leadership and
Management, with the support and encouragement of Turners
CEO Todd Hunter.
Outside work, Audrey’s competitive streak comes to life on the
water. She is an accomplished Dragon Boat and Waka Ama
competitor who has represented New Zealand internationally,
including serving as the contingent flag bearer at the 2025
World Club Crew Championships in Germany. Recent highlights
include winning seven gold medals at the 2026 Australian State
and Oceania Dragon Boat Championships, while also collecting
multiple medals at world championship events in Germany and
Hawaii in previous years.
When she’s not racing, Audrey can be found on Auckland’s
North Shore, often loading her outrigger canoe onto her trusty
Nissan Wingroad, a practical Turners purchase that perfectly
suits her active lifestyle.
CELEBRATING OUR PEOPLE
At Turners, great teams are built by great people. That’s why we continue
to invest in our team, back internal promotion, and grow leaders from
within the business. Employee engagement remains very strong, and
through our employee share ownership programme, our people don’t just
work here, they have real skin in the game.
Strong culture, strong capability and strong leadership across the Group all
combine to deliver a better experience for customers. And when customers
have a great experience, shareholders do too. It’s not complicated, but it is
powerful when it’s done well.
This section celebrates four team members who reflect exactly what we
mean. From new leadership in our Christchurch branches – all promoted
from within the group - to the wider Turners ecosystem, each of these
stories is a reminder that experience, passion and a bit of personality go a
long way here. Meet the people behind the results.

SCOTT STEWART
AUTO RETAIL BRANCH MANAGER, WAIRAKEI/CHRISTCHURCH
AIRPORT
If you’ve ever spent time around Turners Wairakei, chances are
you’ve crossed paths with Scott Stewart. And chances are, he’s
been there longer than most of the cars have had birthdays!
Scott joined Turners back in 1998 at just 18 years old, kicking
off his career in operations. From there, he’s pretty much done
the full tour of the business, from EOT inspection to Sales and
Sourcing, then Sourcing Manager, and now leading the new
Wairakei branch in Christchurch as Branch Manager.
Scott is all about people. His focus is simple: bring out the best
in his team and make Turners a place where people actually
want to come to work. He leads through our values, and it shows
in the culture on the ground.
Highlights? A “Most Engaged” team award, and a top five
BuyerScore result in the region.
Outside of work, Scott has been part of the Turners story for
most of his life, following in his father’s footsteps who also
worked here in the early 1980s. These days, life is family-focused
with his wife (who he met at Turners) and their two boys. When
he’s on the road, he’s in a hybrid RAV4 with the music up – and
fuel use down.
CODY O’NEILL
AUTO RETAIL BRANCH MANAGER, MOORHOUSE AVENUE
Some people build a career at Turners. Others practically grow
up here.
Nearly 13 years ago, at just 16 years old and fresh out of school,
Cody walked through the doors of Turners for his first job.
Today, he leads one of our newest Christchurch branches as
Branch Manager of Turners Moorhouse.
His journey is a great example of the opportunities available
within the business. Starting in the key booth, Cody progressed
through Buy Now Sales, CashNow Consultant and Dealer
Consultant roles before stepping into branch leadership. Along
the way, he developed a strong understanding of both the
business and the people behind it. A highlight of his career has
been winning the FY26 Emerging Leader Award and completing
the Aspiring Leaders Programme.
Now responsible for the day-to-day running of the branch across
sales, operations and finance,
After nearly 13 years, what keeps him at Turners is simple: the
people. Cody thrives on the variety that comes with the role and
the chance to help his team succeed.
Outside work, he enjoys spending time with family and friends,
and making the most of Canterbury’s outdoors on his motorbike
or jet ski.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
ANDREY DYBLENKO
AUTO RETAIL REGIONAL MANAGER, CANTERBURY
For Andrey, success isn’t measured by the number of cars sold.
It’s measured by the people around him succeeding.
Approaching 12 years with the Turners group, his journey began
when the company he worked for was acquired by Turners.
Since then, he has built a career across sales and leadership
roles, in both Auckland and Christchurch.
Today, Andrey leads the Hornby branch and helps oversee the
Canterbury region. His role is centred on supporting his team,
customers and stakeholders, removing roadblocks and creating
an environment where people can thrive. It’s a philosophy that
aligns closely with what he enjoys most about Turners: watching
people build confidence, grow and achieve more than they
thought possible.
One of his proudest moments was seeing the Christchurch
branch receive the Sustained Success Award, recognising years
of consistently strong performance. For him, the achievement
reflected the dedication of a team committed to delivering
results together, consistently year in and year out.
Outside work, life revolves around family, including two young
daughters with endless energy, and a newfound passion
for running and events like Hyrox. His Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
comfortably handles both family duties and the occasional
soundtrack of “Baby Shark” on full volume.

A WINNING BID FOR A GOOD CAUSE
The Gut Cancer Foundation funds vital research into the
prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of gut cancers,
while also working hard to raise awareness of symptoms that
can save lives. With 17 New Zealanders diagnosed every day, its
work continues to have real impact across Kiwi communities.
At Turners, we’ve been proud to support the Foundation for
many years. In 2026, we decided to put our auction expertise to
good use and bring together two longstanding relationships in a
way only an auction house could.
We’ve backed Liam Lawson since he was 16 and continue to
follow his rise as one of New Zealand’s most exciting motorsport
talents. As part of our ongoing support for the Foundation,
Turners held a special charity auction which saw a miniature
replica of Liam Lawson’s 2025 Formula 1 racing helmet go
under the hammer, with all proceeds donated to the Gut Cancer
Foundation.
It was a simple idea with strong results: great item, great cause,
and a winning bid that went straight back into supporting the
Gut Cancer Foundation’s important work. Alongside other
team activities, Turners raised over $57,000 for the Foundation
in 2026, taking the total donated since 2021 to more than
$250,000.
SUPPORTING THE NEXT GENERATION
First Foundation helps talented young New Zealanders from
challenging backgrounds achieve their potential through
scholarships, mentoring, paid work experience and ongoing
support throughout their tertiary studies. It is a programme that
creates opportunities, builds confidence and helps young people
take the next step towards their future careers.
In 2026, Turners was proud to welcome a second scholarship
winner, Wynter-Harlin Puru-Peri-Looker. Wynter is currently in
Year 13 at Onehunga High School and plans to begin a Bachelor
of Biomedical Science at the University of Auckland in 2026.
Meanwhile last year’s inaugural scholarship recipient, Jordan
Etei-Michael is now in his first year of a Bachelor of Business at
the University of Auckland and is tracking well in his studies.
Alongside university, he works part-time with Turners Auto
Retail as a Customer Support Consultant, gaining valuable
workplace experience while continuing his education.
For Turners, supporting First Foundation is about more than
scholarships. It is about helping young people realise their
potential and providing opportunities that can make a lasting
difference in their lives and communities.

TURNING TREES INTO WISHES
Make-A-Wish New Zealand brings hope and joy
to children living with critical illnesses by granting
wishes that create lasting memories for them and
their families. It is simple in idea, but powerful in
impact, giving children something magical to look
forward to during incredibly tough times.
Turners has been proud to support Make-A-Wish
for many years, and each Christmas we add
a little extra sparkle through the Trees of Joy
initiative – creating one-of-a-kind trees, decorated
to capture each child’s personality, passions and a
little bit of magic. It’s one of those campaigns that
perfectly suits the Turners’ team, turning festive
generosity into real outcomes for Kiwi kids.
This Christmas, the Auckland team came together
to decorate a Tree of Joy for Lucie, a brave five-
year-old who has battled cancer, and her three-
year-old sister Sophie. The tree was designed
especially for Lucie, bringing her personality
and imagination to life with bunnies, rainbows,
clouds, pink bows, colourful baubles and even her
favourite food-themed decorations.
It was a simple act, but one filled with meaning,
and a reminder that our Trees of Joy initiative is
about more than festive decoration, it’s way of
bringing joy to those who deserve it most.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of Turners Automotive Group Limited
Report on the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries
('the Group') on pages 45 to 80, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2026,
and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and
consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements,
including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2026, and its consolidated financial performance and its
consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS').
Our report is made solely to the Shareholders of the Group. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Shareholders of the Group those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for
no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other
than the Shareholders of the Group as a body, for our audit work or for our report.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) ('ISAs (NZ)'). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with
Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International
Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and
the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other than in our capacity as auditor, we have no relationship with, or interests in, Turners Automotive Group Limited
or any of its subsidiaries.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the
consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of
the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a
separate opinion on these matters.

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
for the year ended 31 March 2026

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Impairment of Goodwill and Other
Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
As disclosed in Note 7 of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements
the Group has goodwill of $92.5m
allocated across four of the Group’s
cash-generating units (‘CGUs’) and
brand assets of $67.1m allocated
across two of those CGUs.
Goodwill and brand assets were
significant to our audit due to the
size of the assets and the
subjectivity, complexity and
uncertainty inherent in the
measurement of the recoverable
amount of these CGUs for the
purpose of the required annual
impairment test. The measurement
of a CGUs recoverable amount
includes the assessment and
calculation of its ‘value in-use’.
Management has completed the
annual impairment test for each of
these four CGUs as at 31 March
2026.
This annual impairment test involves
complex and subjective estimation
and judgement by Management on
the future performance of the CGUs,
discount rates applied to the future
cash flow forecasts, the terminal
growth rates, and future market and
economic conditions.
Management has also engaged an
external valuation expert to assist in
the annual impairment testing of the
four CGUs.
Our audit procedures among others included:
• Understanding and evaluating the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting
estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s CGUs.
• Evaluating Management’s determination of the Group’s four CGUs based on our
understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and the economic environment in
which the CGUs operate. We also analysed the internal reporting of the Group to assess
how the CGUs are monitored and reported.
• Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of Management's
external valuation expert and the appropriateness of the expert's work as audit evidence
for the relevant assertions.
• Challenging Management’s assumptions and estimates used to determine the
recoverable value of its indefinite life intangible assets, including those relating to
forecasted revenue, cost, capital expenditure and discount rates, by adjusting for future
events and corroborating the key market related assumptions to external data in
accordance with NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.
Procedures included:
o Evaluating the logic of the value-in-use calculations supporting Management’s
annual impairment test and testing the mathematical accuracy of these
calculations;
o Evaluating Management’s process regarding the preparation and review of
forecasts;
o Comparing forecasts to Board approved forecasts;
o Evaluating the historical accuracy of the Group’s forecasting to actual historical
performance;
o Challenging and evaluating the forecast growth assumptions;
o Evaluating the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied;
o Engaging our own internal valuation experts to evaluate the logic of the value-in-use
calculation and the inputs to the calculation of the discount rates applied;
o Evaluating the forecasts, inputs and any underlying assumptions with a view to
identifying Management bias;
o Evaluating Management’s sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in
key assumptions; and
o Performing our own sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions, the two main assumptions being: the discount rate and forecast
growth assumptions.
• Evaluating the related disclosures (including the material accounting policy information
and accounting estimates) about indefinite life intangible assets which are included in
Note 7 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
Valuation of Finance Receivables
As disclosed in Note 4 of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements,
the Group has finance receivable
assets of $553.0m.
Finance receivable assets were
significant to our audit due to the
size of the assets and the
subjectivity, complexity and
uncertainty inherent in the
recognition of expected credit losses
and the amount of those expected
credit losses.
Our audit procedures among others included:
• Understanding and evaluating the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting
estimates used to determine the recoverable value of the Group’s finance receivables.
• Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over finance
receivable origination, ongoing administration and expected credit loss impairment
model data and calculations.
• Evaluating and challenging the logic, key assumptions, and calculation of Management’s
expected credit loss provision for each finance receivable, examining those finance
receivables and forming our own judgements as to whether the expected credit loss
provision recognised by Management is appropriate.
Procedures included:
o Agreeing a representative sample of finance receivables to the signed loan
agreement and client acceptance documents;

TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT cont.
for the year ended 31 March 2026
42
Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Management has prepared expected
credit loss models to complete its
assessment of expected credit
losses for the Group’s finance
receivables as at 31 March 2026
(including an economic overlay of
$1.1m).
This assessment involves complex
and subjective estimation and
judgement by Management on credit
risk and the future cash flows of the
finance receivables.
o Inspecting security documentation to ensure that the Group holds a valid charge on
security;
o Evaluating the logic of the discounted cash flow calculations supporting
Management’s expected credit loss provision and testing the mathematical
accuracy of these calculations;
o Evaluating the key assumptions and inputs into these discounted cash flow
calculations;
o Evaluating and challenging Management’s sensitivity analysis’ for reasonably
possible changes in key assumptions and inputs into the discounted cash flow
calculations; and
o Inspecting the borrowers' payment history for indicators of difficulties in the
borrowers' ability to meet the loan obligations.
• Evaluating the selection of estimation methods, inputs and any underlying assumptions
with a view to identifying Management bias.
• For individually assessed finance receivables, examining those finance receivables and
forming our own judgements as to whether the expected credit loss provision recognised
by Management was appropriate.
• For the collectively assessed finance receivables, challenging and evaluating the logic of
Management’s expected credit loss models and the key assumptions used with our own
experience. Also, testing key inputs used in the expected credit loss models and the
mathematical accuracy of the calculations within the models.
• Evaluating the changes made to the provisioning model to capture the effect of the
changing economic environment as at 31 March 2026 compared to the economic
environment at the date when the historical data used to determine the expected credit
loss was collected (described in Note 4 to the Group’s consolidated financial
statements).
• Evaluating the related disclosures (including the material accounting policy information
and accounting estimates) about finance receivable assets, and the risks attached to
them, which are included in Note 4 and 12 in the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.
Valuation and completeness of
Insurance Contract Liabilities
As disclosed in Note 9 of the Group’s
consolidated financial statements
the Group has insurance contract
liabilities of $63.5m.
The Group’s insurance contract
liabilities were significant to our audit
due to the size of the liabilities and
the subjectivity, complexity and
uncertainty inherent in estimating the
impact of claims events that have
occurred but for which the eventual
outcome remains uncertain.
Management has engaged an
external actuarial expert to estimate
the Group’s insurance contract
liabilities as at
31 March 2026.
Our audit procedures among others included:
• Understanding and evaluating the Group’s internal controls relevant to the accounting
estimates used to determine the valuation of the Group’s insurance policyholder
liabilities.
• Evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over insurance
contract origination, ongoing administration, claims management and reporting and the
integrity of the related data.
• Evaluating the competence, capabilities, objectivity and expertise of Management's
external actuarial expert and the appropriateness of the expert's work as audit evidence
for the relevant assertions.
• Agreeing the data provided to Management's external actuarial expert to the Group’s
records.
• Engaging our own actuarial expert to assist in understanding and evaluating:
o the work and findings of the Group’s external actuarial expert engaged by
Management; and
o the Group’s actuarial methods and assumptions to assist us in challenging the
appropriateness of actuarial methods and assumptions used by Management.
• Evaluating the selection of methods and assumptions with a view to identifying
Management bias.
• Evaluating the related disclosures (including the material accounting policy information
and accounting estimates) about insurance contract liabilities, and the risks attached to
them, which are included in Note 9 in the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Other Information
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in
the Group’s annual report for the year ended 31 March 2026 (but does not include the consolidated financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon).
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express
any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated
financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated
financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for assessing
the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located
at the External Reporting Board’s website at:

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Basis of Preparation
Reporting Entity
The consolidated financial statements are for Turners Automotive Group Limited and its subsidiaries (together ‘the Group’).
The Group's principal activities are:
• Auto retail (secondhand vehicle retailer)
• Finance and insurance (loans and insurance products); and
• Credit management (collection services).
Statutory Basis and Statement of Compliance
Turners Automotive Group Limited, ('the Company') is incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand. The Company is registered under the
Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Company is listed on
the NZX Main Board (‘NZX’). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the NZX
and Part 7 of the Financial Conducts Act 2013.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand ('NZ GAAP').
They comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ('NZ IFRS') and other applicable Financial
Reporting Standards, as appropriate for for-profit entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting
Standards ('IFRS'). The Group is a Tier 1 for-profit entity in accordance with XRB A1 Application of the Accounting Standards Framework.
The consolidated statement of financial position for the Group is presented on a liquidity basis where the assets and liabilities are presented
in the order of their liquidity. Due to the diverse nature of the Group’s activities presentation on the liquidity basis gives a clearer
representation of the financial position of the Group.
Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($) which is the Group's functional currency. All values are rounded to the
nearest thousand ($000), except when otherwise indicated.
Basis of measurement
The financial report has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by revaluations for certain classes of assets and
liabilities to fair value and life insurance contract liabilities and related assets to net present value as described in the accounting policies.
Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements
The Board and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in
which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas
where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are described in the following notes:
• Fair value measurement (note 1.2.1);
• Provision for impairment of finance receivables (note 4);
• Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities – determining lease term (note 6);
• Impairment of goodwill and corporate brands (note 7); and
• Liabilities arising under insurance contracts (note 9).
Climate related risks
Climate-related risks are managed within the Group’s enterprise risk management framework and are subject to the same identification,
assessment and monitoring processes as other material risks. The Group continues to monitor its exposure to climate-related risks and
associated regulatory requirements.
New and Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations
All mandatory new and amended standards and interpretations have been adopted in the current year. The new and amended standards
and interpretations that have had an impact on the Group have been described below. The Group has not adopted any new standards,
amendments or interpretations to existing standards that are not yet effective.
Climate Related Disclosures
Following changes to the Climate-related Disclosures (CRD) regime, the Group no longer meets the definition of a Climate Reporting Entity
under the Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 and is therefore not required to prepare
climate-related disclosures in accordance with XRB Climate Standards (NZ CS 1–3). Accordingly, the Group has elected not to publish
climate-related disclosures for the current reporting period.
Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 1 January 2025 and earlier application is
permitted. The Group has not early adopted the following new or amended accounting standards in preparing these consolidated financial
statements.
NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18)
NZ IFRS 18 will replace NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and introduces new requirements aimed at improving the
presentation and disclosure of information in the financial statements. The standard introduces defined subtotals in the statement of profit or
loss, including operating profit, enhanced guidance on aggregation and disaggregation of information, and new disclosures relating to
management-defined performance measures. NZ IFRS 18 also introduces limited changes to the statement of cash flows.
The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements

NZ IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The Group is currently assessing the impact of
the standard on its financial statements. While the standard does not introduce changes to recognition or measurement, it is expected to
have a material impact on the presentation and disclosure of the Group’s financial statements.
The Group is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the financial statements, including items currently labelled as
‘other.’
Other accounting standards.
There are a number of other new and amended accounting standards issued but not yet effective. These are not expected to have a
significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
None of the other new and amendments to standards and interpretations are expected to have a material impact on the Group.
1.2 Material Accounting Policy Information
Material accounting policies which are relevant to understanding the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in each of the
applicable notes. They have been applied on a consistent basis across all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Two other relevant policies are provided as follows:
1.2.1 Fair Value Measurement
For financial reporting purposes, 'fair value' is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly
transaction between market participants (under current market conditions) at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is
directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique.
When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for
which sufficient data is available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs. Input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are categorised into three levels according to the extent to
which the inputs are observable:
Level 1 the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Further information about assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in note 12.5.
1.2.2 Derivative financial instruments
The Group enters derivative financial instruments (interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts) to manage its exposure to interest
rate and foreign exchange rate risks.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair
value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and
effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge
relationship.
A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset whereas a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a
financial liability. Derivatives are not offset in the financial statements unless the Group has both legal right and intention to offset.
Hedge accounting
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedging instruments in respect of foreign currency and interest rate risk in cash flow hedges.
Further information about assumptions made in measuring the fair value of financial derivatives is included in note 12.5.

3. OPERATING PERFORMANCE
3.1 Revenue
Accounting policy information
(i) Revenue from material contracts with customers
Sales of goods
Sales of goods comprise sales of motor vehicles and commercial goods owned by the Group. Sales of goods are recognised when the
customer gains control of the goods and the sole performance obligation is met. This normally occurs on full payment or approval of
financing.
Sales‑related warranties associated with goods cannot be purchased separately and they serve as an assurance that the products sold
comply with agreed‑upon specifications and cover the standard period established by legislation. There is no material amount of variable
consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component.
Sales of service
Auction commission is recognised at a point in time in the accounting period in which the service is rendered. Payment for services is
normally deducted from the proceeds from the sale. Other than those provided by legislation, no warranties are provided by the Group.
There is no material amount of variable consideration under these contracts nor is there the existence of a significant financing component.
Other sales revenue comprises services rendered preparing the assets for sale and commission earned on the sale of third-party products.
Services rendered while preparing the assets for sale are recognised over time in which the service is rendered, and a contract asset is
recognised for amounts relating to services rendered not yet invoiced. Payment for services rendered is either deducted from the proceeds
from the sale or raised as a trade receivable. Other than those provided by legislation, no warranties are provided by the Group. There are
no rebates or volume discounts. Commissions earned on the sale of third-party products are recognised at a point in time when the sale is
made. Payment is usually received when the sale is made.
(ii) Finance Receivables
Interest income and expense
Interest income and expense is recognised in the profit or loss using the effective interest method.
(iii) Insurance Contracts
Premium income and acquisition costs
Revenue on funeral plan and annuity insurance life contracts for each year includes the changes in the liabilities for remaining coverage that
relate to services for which the Group expects to receive consideration and an allocation of premiums that relate to recovering insurance
acquisition cash flows.
Other insurance contracts revenue is recognised based on an allocation of expected premium receipts to each period of coverage, which is
based on the passage of time.

4. FINANCE RECEIVABLES
4.1 Accounting policy information
Finance receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate
method. The company assesses impairment at each reporting date. Finance receivables are derecognised when the contractual rights to
cash flows expire, or the receivables are transferred along with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. Finance receivables are
generally secured over the assets they finance.
Impairment of finance receivables
The Group assesses finance receivables for impairment using a forward-looking expected credit loss (ECL) model. Finance receivables are
classified into three categories to determine the allowance for credit losses:
• Performing finance receivables with 12-month ECL.
• Finance Receivables with a significant increase in credit risk, recognising lifetime ECL.
• Credit-impaired receivables with lifetime ECL
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a finance
receivable. 12‑month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a finance receivable that
are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Homogeneous finance receivables are assessed on a collective basis (collective
impairment provision) and non-homogeneous finance receivables are assessed individually (specific impairment provision).
(i) Significant increase in credit risk
The Group assesses whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred for finance receivables at each reporting date. This
assessment is based on quantitative and qualitative indicators:
• Quantitative Criteria: for non-homogenous loans significant changes in the value of collateral supporting the loan and for all finance
receivables when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due, unless the Group has reasonable and supportable
information that demonstrates otherwise, such as outstanding insurance payments for damaged collateral.
55
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2026
Turners Automotive Group Limited
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026
55
• Qualitative Criteria: factors such as significant adverse changes in the borrower’s operating results and industry-specific economic
conditions.
The Group regularly monitors the effectiveness of the criteria used to identify whether there has been a significant increase
in credit risk and
revises them as appropriate to ensure that the criteria can identify significant increase in credit risk before the amount becomes past due.
(ii) Definition of default
The Group considers that default has occurred when a finance receivable is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable
and supportable information to demonstrate that another default criteria is more appropriate, such as borrower bankruptcy.
(iii) Credit‑impaired finance receivables
Credit-impaired finance receivables are identified based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria, including significant
financial difficulty of the borrower, default or delinquency in payments, loss of security and observable market indicators of credit risk
deterioration.
(iv) Write‑off policy
The Group writes off a finance receivable when they are 180+ days in arrears or have not made a payment for 180 days and earlier if there
is information indicating that the borrower is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the
borrower has been placed under liquidation or has entered bankruptcy proceedings. Finance receivables written off may still be subject to
enforcement activities under the Group’s recovery procedures, considering legal advice where appropriate. Any recoveries made are
recognised in profit or loss.
v) Measurement and recognition of ECL
The measurement of expected credit losses is a function of the probability of default, loss given default (i.e. the magnitude of the loss if
there is a default) and the exposure at default. The assessment of the probability of default and loss given defaul
t is based on historical data
adjusted by forward‑looking information as described above.
The exposure at default is the finance receivable’s gross carrying amount at the reporting date. No further advances are allowed against
finance receivables in default.
The expected credit loss for a finance receivable is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Group
in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows, after collection/realisation costs, that the Group expects to receive, discounted at the
original effective interest rate.
If the Group has measured the loss allowance for a finance receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECL in the previous reporting period
but determines at the current reporting date that the conditions for lifetime ECL are no longer met, the Group measures the loss allowance
at an amount equal to 12‑month ECL at the current reporting date.
The Group recognises an impairment gains or losses in profit or loss for all finance receivables with a corresponding adjustment to their
carrying amount through an impairment provision account.
4.2 Key Accounting Estimates and Judgements
When measuring ECL the Group uses reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, which is based on forecasts of economic
conditions employment and their expected impacts on the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The probability of default calculations, a
key input in measuring ECL, includes historical data, assumptions and expectations of future conditions. The estimate of the expected loss
arising on default, is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Group expects to receive,
considering cash flows from collateral and integral credit enhancements.
Economic overlay provision
Due to the uncertain economic environment, management have retained the economic overlay provision relating to the impairment for
finance receivables. The provision has decreased from $1.9m to $1.1m.

The fair values are based on cash flows discounted using a weighted average interest rate of 13.21% (2025: 13.61%).
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of finance receivable which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not consider the fair value of any collateral, in the event of the counterparties failing to
meet their contractual obligation.
Refer to note 12 for more information on the risk management policies of the Group.
Securitisation
The Group maintains trusts through which it securitises finance receivables. Each trust is a special purpose entity established solely to
acquire finance receivables originated by the Group’s finance segment.
The Group controls the trusts as it has power over the relevant activities, is exposed (or has rights) to variable returns from its involvement,
and has the ability to use its power to affect those returns. Accordingly, the trusts are consolidated in the Group’s financial statements.
The Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the finance receivables transferred to the trusts. Accordingly, the
receivables do not qualify for derecognition and continue to be recognised in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position.
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust)
The Trust has a wholesale funding facility with Bank of New Zealand (BNZ), secured over finance receivables sold to the Trust. The facility
limit is $300m with a one-year term and is renewed annually. BNZ advances up to 92% (2025: 90%) of the purchase price of the finance
receivables, with the remainder funded by subordinated notes issued to the Group.
During the current financial year, the Trust purchased finance receivables of $287.3m (2025: $218.4m) from the finance sector and finance
receivables of $21.9m from the Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust and sold finance receivables of $200.0m to the Turners Marque ABS
2025-1 Trust. As at 31 March 2026, the carrying value of finance receivables held by the Trust was $269.7m (2025: $332.8m).
Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust (the 2023-1 Trust)
The 2023-1 Trust was a Fitch-rated closed-pool trust that issued $100.0m of notes in September 2023, comprising $70.0m Class A1 notes
and $20.7m Class A2 notes (both rated AAAsf), and $9.3m unrated Class B notes. The Group retained the Class A2 and Class B notes. All

finance receivables held by the 2023-1 Trust was $34.8m.
Turners Marque ABS 2025-1 Trust (the 2025-1 Trust)
The 2025-1 Trust is a Fitch-rated closed-pool trust that issued $200.0m of notes in October 2025, comprising $170.0m Class A notes rated
AAAsf, $22.0m Class B notes rated AA+sf, $2.0m Class C notes rated AAsf, $3.2m Class D notes rated Asf and $2.8m unrated Class E notes.
The Group retained the Class E notes. The 2025-1 Trust acquired finance receivables of $200.0m from the Trust. As at 31 March 2026, the
carrying amount of finance receivables held by the 2025-1 Trust was $151.5m.
5. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
5.1 Accounting policy information
Property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. Land is not depreciated. Depreciation is calculated on all other property, plant and equipment on a diminishing value or straight-line
basis to allocate the costs, net of any residual amounts, over their useful lives.
The rates for the following asset classes are:
Diminishing value Straight line
Buildings - 50 & 33.3 years
Leasehold improvements, furniture and
fittings, office equipment

6. LEASES
6.1 Accounting policy information
Right-of-use Assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost (adjusted for any remeasurement of the associated lease liability), less accumulated depreciation
and any accumulated impairment loss.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful life of the underlying asset, consistent with
the estimated consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the underlying asset.
Lease Liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially recognised at the present value of the future lease payments (i.e., the lease payments that are unpaid at the
commencement date of the lease). These lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be
readily determined, or otherwise using the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest expense
on lease liabilities is recognised in profit or loss (as a component of finance costs). Lease liabilities are remeasured to reflect changes to
lease terms, changes to lease payments and any lease modifications not accounted for as separate leases.
Variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are recognised as an expense when incurred.
Leases of 12 Months or less and leases of low value assets
Lease payments made in relation to leases of 12-months or less and leases of low value assets (for which a lease asset and a lease liability
has not been recognised) are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
6.2 Key accounting estimates and judgements
Extension and termination options are included in several leases across the Group. These terms are used to maximise the operational
flexibility of contracts. Most of the extension and termination options are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. The
Group has 26 lease extension options covering 16 sites which have
been assessed as more likely than not, but not reasonably certain, to be
renewed.
The Group applied incremental borrowing rates of 3.06% to 7.72% (2025: 3.06% to 8.28%), with maturities up to 9 years (2025: up to 9
years). 1 new lease was entered into during the year (2025:1) and 12 leases were modified or cancelled during the year (2025: 5).

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
7.1 Accounting policy information
Intangible assets comprise goodwill, acquired separable corporate brands, acquired customer relationships and computer software.
Goodwill and corporate brands are indefinite life intangibles subject to annual impairment testing.
Corporate brands and customer relationships acquired as part of a business combination are capitalised separately from goodwill as
intangible assets if their value can be measured reliably on initial recognition and it is probable that the expected future economic benefits
that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.
Goodwill and corporate brands are allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those
cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill
and corporate brands arose, identified according to operating segment.
Corporate relationship assets are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected life (10 years) of the relationship and are
recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Computer software is recognised in the statement of financial position at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.
Direct costs associated with the purchase and installation of software licences and the development of software for internal use are
capitalised where project success is probable, and the capitalisation criteria is met. Cost associated with planning and evaluating computer
software and maintaining a system after implementation are expensed. Computer software costs are amortised on a diminishing value basis
(rate of 50%) or on a straight-line basis (one to five years).
7.2 Key accounting estimates and judgements
Goodwill and brand are allocated to four cash-generating units (CGU’) as follows:
2026 2025
$’000 $’000
Goodwill
Allocated to the insurance CGU/segment
12,777 12,777

21,500 21,500
Allocated to the auto retail CGU/segment 45,600 45,600
67,100 67,100
The recoverable amount of each CGU has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use five-year pre-tax
cash flow projections, comprising Board-approved budgets for year one and forecast cash flows for the subsequent years. Cash flows
beyond the five-year period have been extrapolated using the estimated long-term growth rates set out below. Cash flows for the Auto Retail
and Collection Services CGUs represent free cash flows to the firm, while cash flows for the Insurance and Finance CGU represent free
cash flows to equity. Based on the assessment of the Collection Services CGU, management determined that its recoverable amount was
lower than its carrying amount. Accordingly, an impairment loss of $7.5m was recognised in the statement of profit or loss for the year
ended 31 March 2026. Of this amount, $0.4m was allocated to customer relationships and $7.1m to goodwill. For each CGU containing
goodwill and brand assets, the key assumptions, long-term growth rates and discount rates used in the value-in-use calculations are set out
below.

Finance CGU (cost of equity)
6.3 5.6 6.7 7.0
Collection services CGU (weighted average cost of capital) 36.2 14.7 17.4 13.4
Key assumptions:
Sales, price and operating cost assumptions were based on the Board’s best estimate of the range of economic conditions the CGUs are
likely to experience during the forecast period. The forecasts for each CGU cover a period of a minimum of 5 years. Annual capital
expenditure, the expected cash costs in CGUs, was based on historical experience and planned expenditure.

The long-term growth rate is the weighted average growth rate used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period and is based on
the current implied inflation rates and does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the products, industries, or country or
countries
in which the CGUs operate. The discount rates were established by considering the specific attributes and size of the CGUs.
In assessing the impairment of the goodwill and brand value in the CGUs, a sensitivity analysis for reasonably possible changes in key
assumptions was performed. This included increasing and reducing the terminal growth rate by 0.25% (2025: 0.25%) and increasing and
decreasing the discount rate by 1% (2025: 1%).
These reasonably possible changes in rates did not cause any additional impairment in the CGUs.

8. BORROWINGS
8.1 Accounting policy information
Borrowings are initially measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction
costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowing, using the effective interest method.

Secured bank borrowings
The Group had a syndicated funding facility with Bank of New Zealand, ASB Bank and Westpac New Zealand, and a securitisation facility
with Bank of New Zealand.
Bank borrowings are secured by a first-ranking general security agreement over the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding
Autosure Insurance Limited, Turners Finance Limited and EC Credit (Aust.) Limited. The BNZ securitisation funding arrangement is
described in the finance receivables note.
Syndicated funding facility covenants
As at 31 March 2026, the $182.0m (2025: $124.5m) drawn on the facility is classified as a non-current liability. The facility is subject to
financial covenants, tested and reported quarterly. These include interest cover and leverage ratios, calculated both including and excluding
the impact of NZ IFRS 16. Additional covenants specific to the Oxford Finance facility include limits on receivables-based borrowings,
arrears levels, and loan concentration. Based on management’s financial forecasts, the Group expects to remain in compliance with all
covenants for at least the next 12 months.
Bank of New Zealand securitisation facility
As at 31 March 2026 $248.3m (2025: $300.0m) drawn on the facility is classified as a non-
current liability. The notes issued by the Trust are
not subject to early repayment at the discretion of noteholders and are repaid in line with the amortisation of the underlying loan receivables.
A significant deterioration in arrears metrics could trigger a stop-funding event which would suspend further advances to the Trust,
management has assessed that there is no material risk of such an event occurring within 12 months of the reporting date.
Non-bank securitisation
The non-bank securitisation is a closed pool trust. The notes issued by the Trust are not subject to early repayment at the discretion of
noteholders and are repaid in line with the amortisation of the underlying loan receivables.
Foreign currency risk
All the Group's borrowings are in NZD.

The Group classifies insurance contracts into the following categories:
• Life - not measured under PAA (funeral plans, annuity products and participation fund)
• Life - measured under PAA (all other life products)
• Consumer – measured under PAA (mechanical breakdown and GAP products)
Insurance contracts are initially recognised at the earliest of the beginning of the coverage period of the contract, the date when the first
payment from the policyholder becomes due, or on the date the contract is onerous. At initial recognition, the Group identifies and
recognises homogeneous groups of insurance policies and determines the contractual service margin (CSM’), which represents the
unearned profit the Group will recognise as it provides services. Contracts are onerous if the total fulfillment cash flows exceed the carrying
amount on the liability for remaining coverage.
Measurement – Contracts not measured under the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA)
After initial recognition, the Group will adjust the CSM for changes in estimates of future cash flows related to future service, time value of
money and risk adjustments. Insurance revenue is recognised for the insurance services provided during the period and a loss recognised
immediately in profit or loss if a group of contracts are considered onerous. This approach is applied to funeral plans and annuity insurance
products.
Measurement – Contracts measured under the PAA
PAA is a simplified model that recognises insurance revenue of the coverage period in a way that reflects the insurance services provided.
The Group uses PAA for the measurement of groups of contracts when the Group reasonably expects the measurement of the liability for
remaining coverage for the group of contracts does not differ materially from the result of applying the accounting policies described under
Measurement – Contracts not measured under PAA.
Derecognition
The Group derecognises a contract when the specified obligations in the contract expire, are discharged or cancelled.
Presentation
Portfolios of insurance contracts that are assets and those that are liabilities, and portfolios of reinsurance contracts that are assets and
those that are liabilities, are presented separately in the statement of financial position. All rights and obligations arising from a portfolio of
contracts are presented on a net basis; therefore, balances such as insurance receivables and payables are no longer presented
separately. Any assets or liabilities recognised for cash flows arising before the recognition of the related group of contracts (including any
assets for insurance acquisition cash flows) are also presented in the same line item as the related portfolios of contracts.
9.2 Key accounting estimates and judgements
The Group makes several key estimates and judgments due to the inherent uncertainty and complexity of insurance contracts. These
estimates and judgments significantly impact the measurement, recognition, and disclosure of insurance contract liabilities and revenue.
The Group engages an independent actuary to calculate the insurance contract liabilities.
Contracts not measured under PAA
Key estimates and judgements, include but are not limited to, estimation of future cash flows, selection of appropriate discount rates,
selection of appropriate models and techniques to quantifying risk adjustment for non-financial risk, determining CSM, determining onerous
contracts, determining the quantity of benefits provided under a contract which affect the allocation of CSM over the coverage period,
estimating the impact of reinsurance contracts and changes in assumptions, including but not limited to, mortality rates, morbidity rates
lapse rates, expense levels, inflation rates and policyholder behaviour.
Contracts measured under PAA
Key estimates and judgements include assessing eligibility for the PAA, estimating future cash flows and incurred claims, selecting discount
rates, identifying onerous contracts, and determining the pattern of revenue recognition.

Capital management
The Group’s capital consists of share capital, share option reserve, translation reserve, cash flow reserve and retained earnings. The Board
seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher levels of borrowing and the advantages and
security afforded by a sound capital position. The allocation of capital between its specific business operations and activities is primarily
driven by optimisation of the return on the capital allocated. The process of allocating capital to specific operations and activities is
undertaken independently of those responsible for the operation. The Group’s strategies in respect of capital management and allocation
are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.
10.2 Autosure Insurance Limited

10.3 Share options
In July 2020, the Board approved the grant of 2,300,000 options to Senior Executives of the Group at an exercise price of $2.00 under the
Group's Share Option Plan. The grant is split into four tranches of 575,000 options with the following vesting dates: 1 June 2021, 1 June
2022, 1 June 2023 and 1 June 2024. Each tranche expires two years after the vesting date. During the year ending 31 March 2026 150,000
options (2025: 550,000 options) were exercised.
The weighted average fair value of the options granted, using the Binomial Tree option pricing model, is $0.31 per option. The significant
inputs in the model were, the share price at grant date of $2.19, the exercise price of $2.00, volatility of 27.5%, an expected exercise date

for all tranches of, 80% at vesting date and 20% at expiration date and an annual risk-free rate between 0.24% - 0.63%. Volatility is
measured as the standard deviation of changes in the Company's share price over a 12-month period.
If a participant in the Group Share Option Plan leaves (by any means and for any reason) the employment of the Company or any
applicable subsidiary, the participant’s options which have reached their vesting date, together with any other options as may be nominated
at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company in extraordinary circumstances (such as the redundancy, permanent disablement
or death of a participant), may be exercised within a period of 60 days (following which they will lapse) and the participant's other Options
will lapse immediately.
The share-based payment for the current financial year is $nil (2025: $8,000).
Movement in the number of share options outstanding and their related weighted average exercise prices are as follows:
The weighted-
average share price at the date of exercise of share options exercised during the year ended 31 March 2026 was $6.13 in
respect of 50,000 options, $7.79 in respect of 50,000 options, and $8.55 in respect of 50,000 options (2025: $4.02 in respect of 130,000
options, $4.30 in respect of 45,000 options, and $5.86 in respect of 375,000 options).

Credit risk
The maximum exposure to credit risk from financial assets
at fair value through profit or loss at reporting date, excluding investments in
unitised funds, is the carrying value. The financial assets in this category, excluding equity investments, are invested in term deposits with
banks. For Life investment linked contracts (investment in unitised funds) the investments credit risk is borne by the policy holder, there is no
significant credit risk assumed by the Group.

The Group recognises lifetime expected credit loss for trade receivables. The expected credit loss rate is 4.4% (2025: 5.0%). Amounts charged
to the impairment provision are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
The carrying amounts of the Group's trade receivables are denominated in the following currencies:
Australian dollars
459 519
New Zealand dollars
7,502 7,014

Currency risk
A summarised analysis of the sensitivity of financial assets included in trade receivables to currency risk can be found in note 12.3.
Fair value and credit risk
Due to the short-term nature of trade receivables, their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. The maximum exposure to
credit risk from trade receivables at the reporting date is the carrying amount of trade receivables. Credit risk is concentrated predominantly
in New Zealand within the motor trade sector and private household sector; there is no concentration of credit risk on any individual customer.

The fair value of reverse annuity mortgages is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on a current market interest rate for similar
products after making allowances for impairment.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of reverse annuity mortgages which is net of any provision for
impairment. The reported credit risk exposure does not consider the fair value of any collateral, in event of the counterparties failing to meet
their contractual obligation. All reverse annuity mortgages are secured by residential property in New Zealand.

12. RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group, through its operations, is exposed to financial risks, specifically credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk and non-financial risk,
insurance risk. The Group’s exposure to these risks arises from the use of financial instruments. This note describes the Group’s objectives,
policies and processes for managing the risks.

12.1 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that a borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations according to the agreed terms. The following Group assets
are subject to credit risk: cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (excluding equities held in unitised
funds), trade receivables, derivative financial instruments, finance receivables, reverse annuity mortgages, and other receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and derivative financial instruments
To limit exposure to credit risk these assets are placed with registered banks.
Trade receivables
To manage credit risk on trade receivables management assigns risk limits to customers. These limits are based on an assessment of the
creditworthiness of the customers, by conducting credit checks, analysing their financial position, past payment history and other factors. The
risk limits and outstanding trade receivables are regularly monitored by management. Sales to public customers are settled in cash, bank
transfer or using major credit cards, mitigating credit risk.
Financial receivables
All loan applications are assessed and approved in accordance with the Group’s lending policies that are approved by the Board. The Board
has a Lending and Credit Committee to assist the Board in fulfil ling its responsibility by providing oversight of the credit risk management of
finance receivables, including reviewing credit policies and recommending portfolio limits to the Board.
The lending policies cover the credit evaluation processes and approval limits to be followed when considering a loan. The evaluation process
assesses the creditworthiness of borrowers by considering several factors including an approved credit reporting agency’s credit check, past
performance, ability to repay, amount of money to be borrowed against the security, acceptability of the security, and the creditworthiness of
any guarantor/co-borrower.
The Group has a risk grade framework for the ongoing assessment of the credit risk of finance receivables. The framework helps to categorise
receivables based on the likelihood of default and the effectiveness of risk mitigants such as collateral, guarantees, or other forms of credit
enhancement. The current risk grading framework consists of four grades:
• performing – the counterparty has a low risk of default and does not have any past due amounts greater than 30 days;
77
TURNERS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP ANNUAL REPORT 2026
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 March 2026
Turners Automotive Group Limited
Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026
77
• doubtful – amount is > 30 days past due or there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition;
• in default - amount is > 90 days past due or evidence indicating the asset is credit impaired; and
• write-off – there is evidence indicating the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and the Group has no realistic prospect of recovery.
For finance receivables secured by collateral, estimates of the value of collateral are assessed at the time of borrowing, and are not updated
unless the receivable is being assessed for specific impairment. The allowance for impairment includes the Group's estimate of the value of
collateral held.
Life investment linked contacts
The credit risk is borne by the policy holder and there is no significant risk assumed by the Group.
12.2 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its obligations associated with financial liabilities as they fall due.
The Group endeavors to maintain sufficient funds to meet its commitments based on forecasted cash flow requirements. Due to the
dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, flexibility is maintained by having diverse funding sources and adequate committed credit
facilities. Management has internal control processes and contingency plans to actively manage the lending and borrowing portfolios to
ensure the net exposure to liquidity risk is minimised. As part of the Group’s liquidity management processes, the exposure is reviewed on
an on-going basis from daily procedures to monthly reporting.
The liquidity risk for cash flows payable on the life investment contracts liabilities that are unit linked contracts are managed by holding a
pool of readily tradeable investment assets (included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss). The liability and supporting
assets have been excluded from the maturity analysis below because there is no contractual or expected maturity date for the life
investment contracts and the readily tradable investment assets offset any liquidity risk. The liquidity risk on other insurance cash flows is
managed by holding designated percentages of insurance reserves in liquid assets such as cash and cash equivalents.
The table below analyses the Group’s financial liabilities and net settled derivative financial instruments into relevant maturity groupings
based on the remaining period at reporting date to contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the tables are the contractual and
the expected undiscounted cash flows. Contractual and expected amounts agree, except for borrowing where expected maturity is the
facility maturity date.

12.3 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices, will affect the Group's
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.
12.3.1 Life investment liabilities
The market risk on life investment liabilities is transferred to the policy holder. The Group earns fees on investment linked policies that are
based on the amount of assets invested and it may receive lower fees should markets fall. The asset allocation for investment linked

policies is decided by the Policy Holder. Refer to note 11.3 for information on the investments in unitised funds that back the life investment
liabilities.
12.3.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk refers to the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the Group’s financial position. The Group’s exposure to
both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, can result in fluctuations in interest rates impacting both the income generated
from these assets and the cost of servicing theses liabilities. Discount rates are used to determine the Group’s life insurance contract assets
and liabilities not measured under PAA and changes to these rates can impact the value of the insurance contract assets and liabilities.
Interest rates are managed by assessing the demand for funds, new lending, expected debt repayments and maintaining a portfolio of
finance receivables and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, with a sufficient spread between the Group's lending and
borrowing activities. Exposure to interest rates is monitored by the Board of Directors monthly.
The interest rates earned on finance receivables are fixed over the term of the contract. When approving interest rates for individual loan
advances, interest rate risk is measured in accordance with the approved lending policy. The Group uses interest rate swap contracts to
convert a portion of its variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. No exchange of principal takes place. The notional principal amount of interest
rate swaps at 31 March 2026 was $433.2m (2025: $325.6m) and weighted average interest was 3.59% (2025: 4.16%). No hedge
ineffectiveness was recognised in profit or loss during the reporting period (2025: $nil).
The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities to interest rate risk.

12.3.3 Currency risk
Currency risk refers to the potential for financial loss due to fluctuations in exchange rates between different currencies. The Group has
exposure to the Australian Dollar (‘AUD’) through EC Credit Control (Aust) Pty Limited and Japanese Yen (‘JPY’) from the purchase of
motor vehicle inventory.
To ensure the net exposure to EC Credit Control (Aust) Pty Ltd, which has AUD as its functional currency, is kept to an acceptable level, the
Group has a comprehensive transfer pricing policy and converts the AUD unredeemed voucher liability into a NZD liability by selling the
AUD liability to the New Zealand entity that will be providing the relevant services to settle the liability when the voucher is redeemed.
The Group limits its exposure to JPY by hedging the anticipated cash flows (mainly purchased inventory) when the commitment is made. All

12.4 Insurance risk
Insurance risk is the risk of financial loss in the insurance business due to the uncertainty of future events and claims. The Group manages
this risk through various strategies to ensure the Group can meet its obligations to policyholders while maintaining financial stability and
profitability.
Life risk
Life risk management activities involve managing risks concerned with the pricing, acceptance and management of the mortality, and
longevity risks accepted from policyholders. These risks are controlled using underwriting procedures and adequate premium rates and
policy charges, all of which are approved by the Actuary. Tight controls are also maintained over claims management practices to ensure
the correct and timely payment of insurance claims.
Consumer
Consumer risk management activities include prudent underwriting, pricing, and management of risk, together with claims management,
reserving and investment management. The objective of these disciplines is to enhance the financial performance of the insurance
operations and to ensure sound business practices are in place for underwriting risks and claims management.
Claims
Variations in claim levels will affect reported profit and equity. The impact may be magnified if the variation leads to a change in actuarial
assumptions which cannot be absorbed within the present value of planned margins for a group of related products. Insurance risk may
arise through the reassessment of the incidence of claims, the trend of future claims and the effect of unforeseen events, such as
epidemics. Insurance risk is controlled by ensuring underwriting standards adequately identify potential risk, retaining the right to amend
premiums on risk policies where appropriate and purchasing reinsurance. The experience of the Group's life insurance business is reviewed
regularly.
The table below summarises the sensitivity of the Group’s life risk liability for remaining coverage, and asset for remaining reinsurance
coverage, for products valued using the General Measurement model, to changes in key assumptions:

Consumer insurance products are predominantly short-tail mechanical breakdown and credit-related insurance products, with claims
generally settled within 12 months. Accordingly, claims liabilities typically develop and stabilise over a relatively short period. Claims
development has shown limited variability between initial estimates and final outcomes.

12.5 Assets and liabilities carried at fair value
The fair value of assets and liabilities carried at fair value as well as the methods used to calculate fair value are summarised in the table
below.
Level 1 the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices in level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either
directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Fair value liabilities:
Derivative financial instruments - 3,673 - 3,673
Fair value - insurance
The financial assets in this category back life investment contract liabilities and comprise investments in managed funds. The fair value of
these investments is determined by reference to published exit prices, being the redemption price based on the market price quoted by the
fund manager, ANZ Investments (refer note 12.3.1).
Fair value - term deposits and fixed interest securities
Term deposits are recognised at fair value based on the interest rate set at inception of the term deposit (refer note 12. 3.2).
These financial assets are exposed to interest rate risk as disclosed above.
Derivative financial instruments
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange rates at balance date, with the resulting value discounted
to present value. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows based on observable
yield curves.
During the year there were no movements of fair value assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy.
13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Capital Expenditure:
At the reporting date the Group had commitments for $3,132,000 for the development of one site (2025: $10,819,000 for the purchase of one
sites and development of four sites).
Future Lease Commitments:
The Group no new lease commitments commencing after the balance date (2025: 1 lease commitments).
The Group has no other material commitments or contingent liabilities at the reporting date.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

FY26 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT
Turners’ Board of Directors has adopted a corporate governance framework which encourages the highest standards of ethical conduct and
provides accountability and control systems commensurate with the risks involved.
The framework has been guided by the principles and recommendations set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code (31 March 2026)
(NZX Code) and the requirements set out in the NZX Listing Rules. The Board considers that this framework and governance practices for
the year ended 31 March 2026 are generally in line with the NZX Code, except as stated below:
• Recommendation 2.5: An issuer should have a written diversity policy which includes requirements for the Board or relevant committee
of the Board to set measurable objectives for achieving diversity. Turners has a diversity policy that promotes an inclusive and diverse
workplace. Although no specific numerical targets have been set, the Board requires regular management reporting on workforce
diversity. It also uses tools such as the quarterly staff engagement survey to assess how well the business recognises, values and
respects differences, and to track baseline measures and progress.
• Recommendation 2.8: A majority of the Board should be independent Directors. In FY26, the Board comprised three independent
Directors, three non-independent non-executive Directors and one executive Director. The non-executive Directors are not involved in
Turners’ day-to-day operations and do not have significant influence over operational decisions. Turners complies with the NZX Listing
Rules on Board composition, including the requirement to have at least two independent Directors.
• Recommendation 2.9: An issuer should have an independent chair of the Board. The Chair is Grant Baker, who is classified as a non-
independent Director due solely to his 6.02% shareholding in Turners. In all other respects, including tenure and related party
relationships, the Board considers him independent. His interests are therefore aligned with those of shareholders. The Chair is not the
Chief Executive Officer of Turners, is not involved in the day-to-day management of the business and does not have significant
influence over operational decisions.
• Recommendations 3.3 and 3.4: An issuer should have a remuneration committee and a nomination committee. Given the size of the
Turners Board, these responsibilities are undertaken by the full Board.
Turners will continue to monitor best practice in the governance area and update its policies to ensure it maintains the most appropriate
standards.
The information in this report is current as at 25 June 2026 and has been approved by the Board of Turners.
The Turners Corporate Governance Code and other key policies are available on the Turners Automotive Group Limited website:
https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/corporate-governance/
PRINCIPLE 1 – ETHICAL STANDARDS
Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for these
standards being followed throughout the organisation.
Code of Ethics
The Board recognises that high ethical standards are fundamental to good corporate governance and is committed to compliance with
Turners’ Code of Ethics. The Code sets the standards of conduct expected of Directors, employees, contractors providing personal
services, and advisers to Turners and its related companies. It was last reviewed by the Board in June 2025.
The Code of Ethics supports decisions that align with Turners’ values, business objectives, and legal and policy obligations, helping to
strengthen performance, brand value, and investor confidence. It covers conflicts of interest, gifts, confidentiality, corporate opportunities,
conduct, the proper use of assets and information, and compliance with laws and policies. The Board believes all Directors complied with
the Code of Ethics during FY26.
All new employees receive a copy of the Code of Ethics at the start of employment. It is also available on the Group intranet and Turners’
website, and employees receive an annual reminder to review it. Ethics training is delivered through Turners’ Learning Management
System and must be completed by new employees, every three years thereafter, and whenever the Code is materially updated. Employees
are expected to report breaches in accordance with the Code. Breaches are managed consistently and fairly and reported to the Board.
Turners also maintains a Whistle Blower Policy to enable employees to report serious wrongdoing without fear of retaliation.
Turners has a Quoted Financial Product Trading Code of Conduct to mitigate the risk of insider trading by Directors, senior managers and
employees. A copy is available on Turners’ website. Additional trading restrictions apply to Restricted Persons, including Directors and
certain employees. Details of Directors’ share dealings are set out on page 81 of the 2026 Annual Report.
No political donations were made in FY26.

PRINCIPLE 2 – BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
To ensure an effective Board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.
The Turners’ Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of Turners, overseeing the financial and operational controls of the
business, putting in place appropriate risk management strategies and policies and enhancing its value for shareholders in accordance with
good corporate governance principles.
Board Charter
In addition to the Turners Corporate Governance Code, the Turners Board also operates under a written charter which sets out:
• the structure of the Board;
• the role and responsibilities of Directors and management;
• procedures for the nomination, resignation and removal of Directors;
• procedures to ensure that the Board meets regularly, conducts its meetings in an efficient and effective manner; and
• procedures to ensure that each Director is fully empowered to perform his or her duties as a Director of Turners and to fully participate
in meetings of the Board.
Day to day management of Turners is undertaken by the executive team under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer, through a set
of delegated authorities which are reviewed annually.
In discharging their duties, Directors have direct access to and may rely on information, financial data and professional or expert advice
provided by Turners’ senior management and external advisers. Directors have the right, with the approval of the Chair or by resolution of
the Board, to seek independent legal or financial advice at the expense of Turners for the proper performance of their duties.
Newly elected Directors are expected to familiarise themselves with their obligations under the constitution, Board Charter, Turners
Corporate Governance Code and the NZX Listing Rules. Training is also provided to new and existing Directors where required to enable
Directors to understand their obligations.
Nomination and appointment of Directors
Turners’ Constitution sets out the number of elected Directors and the process for their retirement and re-election at Annual Shareholder
Meetings. Responsibility for nominating new Directors rests with the full Board, rather than a separate nomination committee. In assessing
Board composition and new appointments, the Board considers tenure, capability, independence, diversity and skills.
Directors retire and may stand for re-election by shareholders every three years in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules. A Director
appointed since the previous annual meeting holds office only until the next annual meeting, but is eligible for re-election at that meeting. At
the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on 21 August 2025, Grant Baker and Todd Hunter were re-elected as Directors.
Written agreements with newly appointed Directors
On appointment, each Director enters into a written agreement setting out the terms of their appointment. Turners also maintains directors’
and officers’ liability insurance and has entered into a Deed of Indemnity with each Director. Together, these arrangements generally
protect Directors from monetary loss arising from actions taken in their capacity as Directors, except for certain excluded matters such as
penalties and fines imposed for breaches of law.
Board composition and Director information
In FY26, the Board comprised seven Directors: three independent Directors, three non-executive Directors and one executive Director,
including a non-executive Chair.
• Grant Baker, non-executive Chair: Appointed 10 September 2009.
• Matthew Harrison, non-executive Director: Appointed 12 December 2012.
• Todd Hunter, executive Director: Appointed 19 May 2025.
• Alistair Petrie, non-executive Director: Appointed 24 February 2016.
• Lauren Quaintance, independent Director: Appointed 3 April 2023.
• John Roberts, independent Director: Appointed 1 July 2015.
• Antony Vriens, independent Director: Appointed 12 January 2015.
Information on each Director is available on the Turners website https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/about/. The table below
summarises the current key skills and experience of the Board.

Director independence
During FY26, three Turners Directors were independent. In determining independence, the Board has regard to the factors set out in the
NZX Code and considers whether a Director is a Turners executive or has any disqualifying relationship (as defined in the NZX Listing
Rules). This includes considering shareholdings, tenure and other relationships that may, or may reasonably be seen to, affect the
Director’s ability to exercise independent judgement, act in the best interests of Turners and represent shareholders generally. The Board
assesses Director independence on appointment and at least annually thereafter.
Based on Directors’ disclosed interests and the criteria in the Board Charter, the Board has determined that, as at 31 March 2026 and the
date of this Annual Report, Grant Baker, Matthew Harrison and Alistair Petrie are not independent due to their personal or related
shareholdings in Turners. Todd Hunter is also classified as non-independent because he is an executive Director. The Board considers
these shareholdings further align those Directors’ interests with those of shareholders, and appropriate arrangements are in place to
manage potential conflicts of interest.
As at the date of this report, the Board comprises three independent and four non-independent Directors. Turners complies with the NZX
Listing Rules on Board composition, including the requirement to have at least two independent Directors.
Although the Board is actively engaged, non-executive Directors are not involved in the day-to-day management of the business and do not
influence operational decisions. Directors are elected based on the value they bring to the Board against the criteria set out in Turners’
Corporate Governance Code. The Board considers the current mix of Directors provides valuable expertise, complementary skills and an
appropriate balance of continuity and fresh perspective.
Directors’ interests are disclosed on page 81 of the 2026 Annual Report.
The Chair is not the CEO of Turners, is not involved in the day-to-day management of the business and does not have significant influence
over operational decisions.

Diversity
Turners recognises that diversity and inclusion support sound decision-making and positive long-term outcomes for stakeholders. Its
approach to diversity includes gender, race, ethnicity, cultural background, ways of thinking, physical capability, age, sexual orientation, and
religious or political belief.
Turners’ Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Policy is available on its website. Although no specific numerical targets have been set, the Board
receives regular reporting on workforce diversity and monitors progress through quarterly staff engagement surveys, including equality
measures. In the latest survey, respondents rated Turners 9.4 out of 10 for D&I.
Implementation is supported by a Diversity and Inclusion Committee, mandatory D&I training for new employees, and a recruitment guide for
hiring managers. The guide, Reduce Your Bias, outlines controls to mitigate unconscious bias at each stage of recruitment, including CV
screening and interviews, and supports consistent application by managers.
Turners conducts an annual gender pay review to assess remuneration gaps by role and performance and is satisfied that remuneration
outcomes are appropriately aligned.
As at 31 March 2026, the gender balance of Turners’ Directors and people was as follows:
31 March 2026 31 March 2025

Board Training and Performance
Turners encourages all Directors to undertake appropriate training and development to support the effective performance of their duties.
This includes updates on changes in governance, legal and regulatory frameworks, technical and professional development courses,
presentations from industry experts and key advisers, and briefings on relevant industry and company matters from key executives.
The Board regularly reviews its individual and collective performance, as well as the skills, development and succession planning required
to govern the business effectively. A Board self-evaluation is scheduled for FY27.

PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board should use committees where they enhance effectiveness in key areas, while retaining overall Board responsibility.
The Board has established two standing committees: the Audit, Risk Management and Sustainability Committee and the Lending and
Credit Committee. Given the size of the Turners Board, remuneration and Director nomination and appointment matters are dealt with by
the full Board.
Committees enable matters requiring detailed consideration to be reviewed by Directors with relevant expertise, improving the Board’s
efficiency and effectiveness. However, the Board retains ultimate responsibility for its committees and determines their roles and
responsibilities.
The committees meet as required and operate under Charters approved and reviewed by the Board. Minutes of each committee meeting
are provided to all Directors, who may attend any committee meeting. Management attends only at the invitation of the relevant committee.
Committee performance is reviewed regularly.
Each committee may seek any information it requires from employees and obtain independent legal or other professional advice.
Committee membership and performance are reviewed annually. The Board may also establish special purpose committees from time to
time to oversee specific projects with senior management.
Audit, Risk Management & Sustainability Committee (ARMS Committee)
The ARMS Committee assists the Board in overseeing Turners’ risk management and internal control framework, the integrity of financial
reporting, and internal and external audit processes. This includes providing the Board with additional assurance over the quality and
reliability of Turners’ publicly reported financial information. All matters within the Committee’s remit were addressed during the reporting
period. The Committee also oversees strategy, activities and performance relating to sustainability, corporate social responsibility and the
environment.
The Committee comprises three non-executive Directors, a majority of whom are independent, and includes at least one independent
Director with appropriate accounting or financial expertise. The Committee Chair is not the Chair of the Board and does not have a long-
standing association with Turners’ external audit firm as a current or former audit partner or senior manager.
Management and employees attend Committee meetings only by invitation. The Committee also regularly meets separately with the
external and internal auditors without management present. The Committee Charter is available on the Group’s website.
As at 31 March 2026, the Committee members were John Roberts (Chair), Antony Vriens and Alistair Petrie. Their qualifications and
experience are available on the Turners website https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/about/.
Lending and Credit Committee
The Lending and Credit Committee assists the Board by overseeing the credit risk management of Oxford Finance, Turners’ finance
subsidiary. Its responsibilities include reviewing internal credit risk policies, recommending portfolio limits for Board approval, and
monitoring the quality and performance of the finance portfolio. The Committee operates under a charter available on the Group’s website.
As at 31 March 2026, the Committee comprised Matthew Harrison (Chair), Alistair Petrie and John Roberts.
Control Transactions
Turners is prepared to respond to a control transaction. The Board has adopted a written Control Transaction Response Policy, contained
in the Turners Corporate Governance Code, to apply if a takeover notice, scheme of arrangement proposal or other control transaction
becomes imminent. Under the policy, Turners may establish an independent committee to oversee disclosure and the response process,
and engage legal and financial advisers as required. If no independent committee is established, the Board is responsible for all matters
relating to the Company’s response to the potential transaction.
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate
disclosures.
Continuous Disclosure Policy
Turners is committed to keeping investors and the market informed of all material information about its performance and to complying with
applicable legislation and the NZX Listing Rules. The release of material information is governed by the Reporting and
Disclosure section of
the Turners Corporate Governance Code and the Turners Continuous Disclosure Policy, both of which are available on Turners’ website.
Other key governance documents are also available on Turners’ website.
In addition to information required by law, Turners seeks to provide clear and meaningful financial and non-financial information to keep
stakeholders and investors well informed.

Reporting
The Board expects integrity in reporting and in the timeliness and balance of disclosures. Turners aims to provide clear, concise financial
statements and recognises the value of providing shareholders with meaningful financial and non-financial information, including on
environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.
The Board is responsible for ensuring the financial statements present a true and fair view of Turners’ financial position and are prepared
using appropriate accounting policies, applied consistently and supported by reasonable judgements and estimates, in accordance with
applicable financial reporting and accounting standards.
Before approving the financial statements, the Board requires the CEO and CFO to certify that, in their opinion, Turners’ financial records
have been properly maintained, the financial statements comply with applicable accounting standards and present a true and fair view of
Turners’ financial position and performance, and that this opinion is based on a sound and effectively operating system of risk management
and internal control.
Turners has not adopted a formal ESG framework but maintains an ESG Policy in section 14 of its Corporate Governance Code. Following
changes to regulatory requirements, Turners is no longer required to publish Climate-Related Disclosures and has elected not to do so.
However, it remains committed to sustainability and continues to monitor the core environmental indicators and sustainability goals that
support its long-term strategy.
Turners is committed to using its resources responsibly and seeks opportunities to reduce the environmental risks and impacts of its
operations, products and services. It is also committed to providing fair and responsible products and services, including compliance with
the Responsible Lending Code, the Responsible Credit-Related Insurance Code, the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 and other
applicable legislation.
The Board supports diversity, adheres to Turners’ Modern-Day Slavery Statement and will not knowingly participate in business activities in
which Turners could be complicit in human rights or labour standards abuses.
Turners outlines its strategic objectives and reports on progress against them in the Chair and CEO commentary in shareholder reports and
at investor events during the year, including investor presentations and the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.
The Group has adopted a Remuneration Policy that sets out its approach to remuneration and supports fair, consistent and market-informed
outcomes aligned with business strategy and values. The Policy is reviewed every two years by the People & Culture team in consultation
with the Executive, approved by the Board, and is available on https://www.turnersautogroup.co.nz/corporate-governance/. The
remuneration framework supports attraction and retention, guides remuneration positioning, and promotes transparent, data-informed pay
decisions within established pay bands.
Director Remuneration
Executive Directors do not receive director fees. Fees for non-executive Directors are reviewed regularly against market levels. Any
proposed increase in the Director fee pool requires shareholder approval under the Company Constitution. Where independent
benchmarking is used to support a proposal, it is disclosed to shareholders in the Notice of Meeting.
Shareholder approval to increase the Director fee pool was last sought in 2023, when the pool limit was set at $920,000.
The Board has determined the following allocation from the current pool:
Position Fees per annum
Board of Directors Chair 209,000
Member 104,500
Autosure Board of Directors Chair 44,000
Member 22,000

Although there is no formal requirement, most Turners Directors hold shares in the Company, either directly or indirectly. Directors do not
receive performance-based or equity-based remuneration. Details of shareholdings are set out on page 81 of the 2026 Annual Report.
Autosure Insurance is required to maintain a separate Board because it holds an insurance licence with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
Antony Vriens is Chair of the Autosure Insurance Board and is also a non-executive Director of Turners.
Turners does not make retirement payments to Directors.
Executive Director Remuneration
The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the executive Director’s remuneration. The remuneration package comprises fixed
base salary, an annual short-term incentive, and a long-term incentive through participation in the Group’s Share Option Plan. Benefits
include KiwiSaver contributions and any direct cash or non-cash benefits.

PRINCIPLE 6 – RISK MANAGEMENT
Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board
should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.
Risk management framework
Turners is committed to proactively and consistently managing risk. While responsibility rests with the full Board, the ARMS Committee
supports the Board by overseeing the risk management framework and monitoring compliance with it.
The Board’s approach to risk management is set out in the ARMS Committee Charter, which is available on the Group’s website. The
Charter is intended to ensure opportunities are pursued in an informed manner and within the Board’s risk appetite.
The Board delegates day-to-day risk management to the CEO. The executive team and senior management are required to regularly
identify the major risks affecting the business and develop structures, practices and processes to manage and monitor them. Key risks and
challenges identified by management are included in the CEO’s monthly Board report. Ultimate responsibility for risk management and
internal controls remains with the Board.
Key financial risks are set out on pages 76 to 80 of the 2026 Annual Report.
Turners maintains insurance policies it considers adequate for its insurable risks.
Health and Safety
The Board recognises that effective health and safety management is essential to a successful business and is committed to preventing
harm and promoting wellbeing for employees, contractors and customers.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that systems to identify and manage health and safety risks are fit for purpose, effectively
implemented, regularly reviewed and continuously improved.
Turners has a Health and Safety Policy overseen by a Health and Safety Manager. Health and safety reports for all business units are
included in the compliance section of Board papers.

PRINCIPLE 7 – AUDITORS
The Board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.
The Board’s approach to appointing and overseeing the external auditor is set out in Turners’ External Audit Policy (section 9 of the Turners
Corporate Governance Code). The policy is designed to maintain audit independence, both in fact and appearance, so that Turners’
external financial reporting is regarded as reliable and credible.
The ARMS Committee provides additional oversight of the external auditor, reviews audit quality and cost, and serves as a formal channel
of communication between the Board, senior management and the external auditor. The Committee also assesses the auditor’s
independence annually. Relevant procedures are set out in the ARMS Committee Charter, which is available on the Group’s website.
For the year ended 31 March 2026, Baker Tilly Staples Rodway was the external auditor of Turners Automotive Group Limited. Th
e firm was
first appointed in 1999 and was automatically reappointed under the Companies Act 1993 at the 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting. Turners
requires the lead audit partner to rotate at least every five years. The most recent rotation occurred in 2023.
Audit work is fully separated from non-audit services to maintain auditor independence. Fees paid to Baker Tilly Staples Rodway for audit
and other services are disclosed on page 54 of the 2026 Annual Report. Baker Tilly Staples Rodway has also provided the Board with
written confirmation that it remained independent during the year.
Baker Tilly Staples Rodway attends the Annual Shareholder Meeting, and the lead audit partner is available to answer shareholder
questions.
Internal Audit
Although Turners does not have a dedicated internal audit function, it maintains a range of internal controls overseen by the ARMS
Committee. These include controls relating to information systems, security, business continuity, insurance, health and safety, conflicts of
interest, and the prevention and detection of fraud.
PRINCIPLE 8 – SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
The Board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage them
to engage with the issuer.
Turners’ Board is committed to open dialogue with shareholders and to supporting effective engagement. Turners’ investor relations
programme is designed to provide shareholders with timely information and enable them to engage with the Company and exercise their
rights in an informed manner.
Turners has a calendar of communications and events for shareholders, including but not limited to:
• Annual and Interim Reports
• Market announcements
• Annual Shareholder Meeting
• Financial results calls
• Other ad hoc investor presentations
• Easy access to information through the Turners website www.turnersautogroup.co.nz
• Access to management and the Board via email info@turnersautogroup.co.nz
Investor website
Turners maintains a comprehensive investor relations website that provides access to key corporate governance documents, major
announcements, company reports and presentations.
Shareholder engagement
All shareholders may elect to receive communications electronically by email, and Turners actively encourages this.
Shareholders are encouraged to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and may raise matters for discussion. Turners livestreams the
meeting, making it accessible worldwide. In 2025, the meeting was held in person and webcast live. Given Turners’ size and historically low
participation rates, the Board considers this format strikes an appropriate balance between shareholder access and cost. Online
shareholders may submit questions and vote by proxy before the meeting.

In accordance with the NZX Corporate Governance Code, notice of the 2025 Annual Shareholder Meeting was provided to shareholders at
least 20 working days before the meeting.
In addition to shareholders, Turners maintains open communication with a broad range of stakeholders, including brokers, the investing
community, staff, suppliers and customers.
Shareholder voting
Shareholders exercise ultimate control over corporate governance through their ability to vote Directors on or off the Board. Voting is
conducted by poll, reflecting the ‘one share, one vote’ principle. In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, Turners’ constitution and the
NZX Listing Rules, major decisions that may change the nature of Turners are referred to shareholders for approval.
