South Port NZ Delivers Record FY26 Result and Positions for Future Growth
South Port New Zealand Limited (NZX: SPN) today announced a record financial result for the
year ended 30 June 2026, driven by strong cargo growth, higher agricultural activity, improved
New Zealand Aluminium Smelter (NZAS) throughput, and wind farm project cargo.
Chair of South Port, Philip Cory-Wright, said the company had achieved another outstanding
year, delivering record cargo volumes and earnings, while continuing to invest in infrastructure
and future growth opportunities.
"This result reflects the strength of the Southland economy, the efficiency of our diversified trade
base, and the commitment, skill and care of our people. On behalf of the Board, I thank all staff
for the crucial contribution they have made to the Company’s success, and for the pride they take
in supporting our customers, our community and each other." said Cory-Wright.
FY26 Highlights
• Bulk cargo volumes: up 9.7% to 3.3 MT; revenue per MT up 8%
• Container volumes: up 18.5% to 62,000 TEU; revenue per TEU up 6%
• Tiwai volumes: up 16.1% to 942k tonnes
• Total revenue: up 14% to $71.8m from $63.3m in FY25
• EBITDA: up 16% to $29.9m from $25.8m in FY25
• EBITDA margin: up 100bps to 42% from 41% in FY25
• Record NPAT: up 21% to $16.1m from $13.3m in FY25
• Operating free cash flow: up 9% to $18.4m from $16.9m in FY25
• Debt/EBITDA: 0.6x down from 1.0x in FY25
• Dividends per share: 29.0 cps (fully imputed), payout ratio of 47% of NPAT
South Port reported a record after-tax profit of $16.11 million, up 21.0% on FY25. Normalised net
profit after tax (NPAT) increased 16.2% to $16.14 million.
Total cargo volumes rose 11.5% to a record 3.96 million tonnes, while container throughput
reached an all-time high of 62,000 TEU, an increase of 18.5% on the previous year.
"These results demonstrate the benefits of a balanced cargo mix, strong customer relationships,
and disciplined investment in the infrastructure required to support regional industry," said Cory-
Wright.
Chief Executive Officer Derek Nind said bulk cargo remains South Port’s core trade, and it
continues to deliver excellent growth, supported by the strength of the agricultural industry,
forestry activity, project cargo associated with renewable energy developments, and stable
operations at the New Zealand Aluminium Smelter.
"As Southland continues to grow, South Port's role as critical regional infrastructure becomes
increasingly important. Our focus is on ensuring we have the infrastructure, capability and
planning in place to support that growth when it occurs," said Nind.
During FY26, South Port continued to invest in improving operational efficiency and customer
support, including the purchase of an additional storage facility, the Bluff Freight Centre, to
support growing dairy export volumes.
The Company also continued progress on strategic initiatives including long-term port master
planning, environmental sustainability, and strengthening relationships with Awarua Rūnaka and
the wider Southland community.
FY26 was a year of significant leadership transition with long-serving Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) Nigel Gear finishing in May 2026 after more than 30 years with the company, including
8.5 years as CEO. The Board appointed Derek Nind as Chief Executive Officer, effective July
2026, bringing extensive port sector experience and a strong Southland connection.
Following 16 years as a Director, Chair Philip Cory-Wright will retire from the South Port Board
in October, and Nicola Greer will assume the role as Chair at this time.
Outlook
Whilst current market conditions make it challenging to provide a firm forecast for FY27, the
Company expects trade volumes to remain broadly in line with FY26, supported by a resilient,
diversified cargo base. As we turn to FY27, the Company is however cognisant of downside risk
due to the absence of project cargo (wind farm) imports and as we look to invest more in our
people and infrastructure. A further update will be provided at the ASM in October.
Reflecting the company's confidence and future outlook, the Board has declared a full-year
dividend of 29.0 cents per share (FY25: 28.0 cents).
"South Port remains focused on disciplined investment, customer service, operational safety and
efficiency, and prudent planning while continuing to support regional growth and delivering long-
term value to shareholders," said Cory-Wright.
South Port will host a conference call at 1.00pm (NZT) to discuss the results. To participate

PORT PLANNING EXERCISE
SPN FY26 Full Year Result Investor Presentation - 21.08.26
•Post channel deepening – priority is now to improve landside
productivity and the efficient movement of cargo and vessels
through the Port
•Dennis Koegeboehn of Gloco (Global Logistics Consultants)
has been engaged to undertake a port planning exercise for
South Port, covering the next 30 years - out to 2057
•Stage 1 – Baselining – understand where we are today
•Stage 2 – Port Optimisation – make the most of what we
already have
•Delivery of first two stages expected late September 2026
•Potential for Stage 3 – Transformation Options
•Despite the level of uncertainty globally, trade volumes for FY27 are expected to
remain similar to FY26, but with the absence of one-off revenue from project cargo
•Future growth opportunities in the medium to long term – wind farms, aquaculture,
other large scale projects
•Port planning exercise will help to optimise existing infrastructure and support the
growth in existing and new cargoes
•Continued growth will require further targeted investment – likely that a replacement
tug and mobile harbour crane will be required in the short-medium term
•Downside risk to FY27 earnings - requirement to introduce additional resource to
handle future growth, increased maintenance spend, geopolitical factors
•Continued focus on capital allocation to build capability to meet future cargo
requirements and drive returns
30
OUTLOOK
SPN FY26 Full Year Result Investor Presentation - 21.08.26
•Record annual result for FY26
•Backed by sustainable cargo base and one-off project cargo activities
•Port is positioning itself for future growth
•Exciting opportunities to grow the business requiring capital investment
•Workforce that goes the extra mile
•Company in a good position to benefit from growth and maintain a
sustainable dividend
