Napier Port (NZX.NPH), the freight gateway for the central and lower North Island, today reports

9 Months to 30 June 2026

• Revenue for the nine months rose 11.1% to $134 million from $120.6 million in the same period

last year and was led by growth in container services revenue

• The result from operating activities increased 16.6% to $59.3 million from $50.9 million as

higher revenue converted to strong earnings growth

• Underlying net profit after tax increased 27.8% to $29.6 million from $23.2 million

• Reported net profit after tax increased 3.7% to $29.7 million from $28.6 million. The prior year

period included the proceeds from the final settlement of Cyclone Gabrielle insurance claims

Strategic Projects

• Key strategic projects including our container terminal transformation, dredge vessel

construction and mooring technology projects, remain on-track to deliver improved capacity,

service capabilities and operating efficiencies from FY2027

Earnings guidance

• Napier Port expects an underlying result from operating activities for the full year to 30

September 2025 around the top end of the previously communicated range of between $70

million and $74 million, assuming a continuation of current operating conditions


Chief Executive Todd Dawson said: “Napier Port has continued to deliver strong financial performance

in the third quarter and across the nine-month period, following a consolidation of the increased trade

activity we saw developing during 2025. We have seen growth in both refrigerated and non-refrigerated

container cargo volumes – highlighted by apples, meat, fertiliser and paper products.

Financial Statements.

“During the year to date we have seen additional container shipping line calls at Napier Port

demonstrating the consistency and attractiveness of our diverse and resilient cargo base. Container

line schedules and services are continuously evolving across the New Zealand coastal network and we

are positively positioning our port for further growth through strategic investments in our operating

capacity, service capability and operating efficiency.


“These projects, including dredge vessel construction, new mooring technology, and our container

terminal transformation are progressing according to plan and are expected to be operational and fully

embedded during the next financial year.


“Partially offsetting increased container activity, we have seen a reduction in bulk log exports as ongoing

geopolitical challenges create higher costs for exporters. This has been partially mitigated by higher

volumes of bulk fertiliser imports and exports.”


FINANCIAL RESULTS

Container services

Container services revenue for the quarter increased 21.9% to $35.8 million from $29.4 million in the

same period last year. For the nine months, container services revenue increased 18.8% to $85.7

million from $72.2 million on higher container cargo volumes and higher revenue per TEU

2

.

Average revenue per TEU for the nine months increased 17.7% to $439 from $373 in the same period

last year. This improvement in yield was driven by container and cargo mix, tariff and levy increases,

and a higher Depot contribution.

Container volumes for the quarter decreased 2.5% to 79,000 TEU due to lower empty container

volumes, as a higher proportion of empty container repositioning activity took place in the first half of

the year. For the nine months, total container volumes increased 1% to 196,000 TEU from 194,000

TEU in the same period last year.

Container vessel calls have increased by 11.9% to 217 for the nine-month period as additional

container services have called at Napier Port.

Bulk cargo

Bulk cargo revenue for the quarter decreased 0.6% to $12.2 million from $12.3 million in the same

period last year, as bulk volumes decreased 4.6% to 0.74 million tonnes. For the nine months, bulk

cargo revenue increased by 3.8% to $39.2 million from $37.7 million, while volumes decreased 2.5%

to 2.43 million tonnes.

Log export volume for the quarter decreased by 5% to 0.64 million tonnes, and for the nine-month

period decreased by 5.2% to 1.92 million tonnes.

Average revenue per tonne for the nine months increased 6.4% to $16.14 from $15.16 in the same

period last year, driven by changes to cargo mix and vessels, together with tariff and levy increases.

Cruise services

The cruise season completed in April with 55 vessel calls and over 88,000 passengers visiting the

region, contributing $6.5 million to revenue. This compares to 78 vessel calls contributing $8.3 million

to revenue in the prior comparative period.

There are currently 50 cruise vessel bookings for the upcoming 2027 season.

Operating results

The result from operating activities for the third quarter increased 24.3% to $22 million from $17.7 million

in the prior year period, as the third quarter revenue increase of $6.5 million exceeded the increase in

operating expenses of $2.2 million.

The result from operating activities for the nine months increased 16.6% to $59.3 million from $50.9

million. Positive operating leverage was demonstrated with the increase in revenue of $13.3 million

compared to the increase in operating expenses of $4.9 million.

Driven by the higher operating result, underlying net profit after tax for the third quarter increased by

38.9% to $11.7 million from $8.4 million in the same period last year. For the nine months this increased

by 27.8% to $29.6 million from $23.2 million.

Reported net profit after tax for the third quarter increased 37.9% to $11.7 million from $8.5 million in

the same period last year, and for the nine months increased 3.7% to $29.7 million from $28.6 million

as the prior year period included income from the $7.5 million final settlement of Cyclone Gabrielle

insurance claims.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Over the nine-month period, Napier Port has invested $44.2 million in capital assets, including dredge

vessel construction, container terminal transformation, mooring plant and equipment, mobile plant

replacement, major maintenance and site asset management works.

Napier Port is investing approximately $120 million

3

across the 2025 to 2027 financial years towards

asset replacement and capacity and growth projects. Of this sum, $70 million has been deployed as at

30 June 2026.

Underlying net cash flow from operating activities increased by $3.6m, or 8.1%, to $48.7 million from

$45.0 million in the same period last year. Reported operating cash flow decreased by $5.2m, or 9.6%,

to $48.7 million from $53.9 million in the same period last year due to the prior period $11 million receipt

of insurance claim proceeds.

Napier Port ended June 2026 with total drawn debt of $136.5 million, up from $107 million at the end of

the 2025 financial year, with undrawn bank facilities of $43.5 million, and with a total Debt to EBITDA

ratio of 1.88 times.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires management to

make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and

the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.

In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in

applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty, are

consistent with those applied to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended

Accounting policies:

Port operations

Port operations represents a series of services including marine, berthage and port infrastructure

services to the Group’s customers which are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

Revenue is recognised over-time using the percentage of completion method.

Revenue is measured based on the service price specified in the relevant tariffs or specific customer

contract. The contract price for the services performed reflects the value transferred to the customer.

Property operations

Property lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

Operating segments

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly

reported to the Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment being Port Services. This consists of providing

and managing port services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the

Port Services reportable segment the following operating segments have been identified: marine

services, general cargo services, container services, port pack services and depot services. These

have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic characteristics, customers, nature of

services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. During the period the Group

had two customers which comprised 25% of total revenue (2025: two customers 21%).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

10. Management-defined performance measures
The Group uses certain management-defined performance measures in its public communications

to communicate management’s view of aspects of the Group’s operating performance. These

measures are not defined by IFRS accounting standards, which means they may not be directly

comparable to similar measures used by other entities.

The relevant measures and the reconciliation between each measure and the most directly

comparable total or subtotal specifically required by IFRS are as follows. The tax effect of each

reconciling item is determined using the statutory tax rate of 28%.

Result from operating activities

The Group uses ‘Result from operating activities’ on the face of the consolidated income statement

as it considers this metric provides the result from core operating activities for comparison from

period to period.

The result from operating activities is intended to be calculated as operating income less

operating expenses. The measure excludes income and expenses related to finance costs, taxes,

depreciation, amortisation, impairment and retirement of operating and other assets, and the

income and expenses arising from fair value changes, non-recurring and abnormal, and joint-

venture and other investment activity.

The result from operating activities measure includes certain non-cash income and expenses

related to core operating activities such as accrued income and expenses and share-based

payments.

10. Management-defined performance measures (continued)

Underlying net profit after tax

The Group uses ‘Underlying net profit after tax’ as a performance measure as it considers that this

metric provides the net profit after tax of the Group that is comparable from period to period.

Reported net profit after tax is adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-core and abnormal items,

and unrealised fair value movements. The adjustments that the Group considers appropriate are as

follows:

(i) removal of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties as this relates to non-core

activity;

(ii) removal of expenses and material damage and business interruption insurance income

attributable to the extraordinary Cyclone Gabrielle event that occurred during February 2023.

Insurance income for insured business interruption losses indemnified the Group for reduced

operating profits following Cyclone Gabrielle. The recognition of business interruption insurance

income does not necessarily match the accounting period of the reduced operating profits, as the

income recognition was determined according to the Group’s accounting policy for recognising

insurance recovery income and is dependent upon the timing of the lodgement of claims with

insurers and the timing of their review processes. The adjustment removes this timing effect and

the potential variability in income recognition; and

(iii) removal of non-recurring restructuring costs.
