, with nil borrowings
Premium carpet manufacturer and wool sourcing business Bremworth Limited (NZX Code: BRW) has
today announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended 30 June 2026, with
meaningful progress made to strengthen the business while continuing to operate in difficult market
conditions.
Bremworth Chair, Rob Hewett, said: “FY26 has been an important year of change for Bremworth.
While the financial result remains below where the Board expects the business to perform over
time, we have made progress in addressing a number of the operational and commercial issues that
have constrained performance. Our focus is now firmly on converting those improvements into
better margins, stronger cash generation and a return to sustainable profitability."
Commercial progress
Over the past year, Bremworth has implemented a number of initiatives aimed at fundamentally
improving performance, with priorities being cost reset, revenue recovery and capital discipline.
Key initiatives include:
Napier yarn plant now fully operaƟonal, with both spinning plants driving meaningful
reducƟon in product and supply chain costs and a material upliŌ in product quality.
Significant cost out programme with savings reinvested into iniƟaƟves to drive revenue, liŌ
producƟvity and improve inventory composiƟon and quality.
Re-established Bremworth’s premium syntheƟc carpet offering through the launch of a range
of high-quality soluƟon dyed nylon (SDN) carpets with growing sales expected from FY27.
Expanded sales teams in Australia and New Zealand to strengthen relaƟonships with flooring
retailers, increase market coverage, and posiƟon the business to capture growth
opportuniƟes as demand recovers.
Renewed focus on North America and China with early wins on the table as Bremworth looks
internaƟonally for further revenue growth.
1
Normalised EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and excludes negative $(1.9)m of one-off items relating to insurance claims,
restructuring costs and an onerous contract provision (FY25 positive $35.1m)
2
Excludes $4.9m in restricted cash and cash equivalents deposited with BNZ as security against bank guarantees and other
commitments
CEO Craig Woolford commented: “With the Napier yarn plant now back up and running, this year
has been about getting the fundamentals of our business right with an increased focus on our
customers, inventory, and operational and commercial excellence. The results of our efforts can be
seen in increased customer uptake, a lower cost base, a significantly improved inventory profile and
reduced complexity within the business.
“We believe the foundations of the company are now considerably stronger than they have been for
some time. An improvement in market conditions will allow us to unlock the full value of the work
that has been undertaken and return the business to sustainable growth and profitability.”
FY26 snapshot
Overall flooring demand remained subdued during the year, reflecting continued weakness in
residential construction and renovation activity and pressure on discretionary consumer spending. In
addition, some customers paused buying while the proposed scheme of arrangement with
Floorscape Limited (“Scheme”) was underway. With more certainty going forward, increased
customer support is expected in FY27.
Revenue was $106.6m for FY26 with the 21% year on year (YoY) improvement mainly driven by Elco
Direct, Bremworth’s wool sourcing business. Elco Direct had a strong year with a seismic shift in
demand for wool in 2H26 (particularly from exporters) driving up volume and wool price. Wool
carpet continued to dominate flooring sales (95% of carpet sales volumes) with growing
contributions from SDN carpets expected in FY27.
Inventory quality has been a major focus, with sub-standard yarn and carpet successfully sold down,
resulting in a healthier inventory profile that better supports customer requirements. The supply
chain has been shortened and slower-moving lines rationalised, with a greater focus on the
availability of key SKUs and samples, ensuring customers can access the products they want, when
they need them. Year-end inventory was $29.1m compared to $28.0m in the prior year.
Management is maintaining tight control over operating costs, inventory, working capital and capital
expenditure.
A comprehensive cost review was undertaken, with focus on creating a cost base appropriate for
current market conditions while retaining the capabilities required to support future growth. This
resulted in a clear and simplified path forward for both the business and the way it operates. These
initiatives are expected to deliver benefit in FY27 onwards.
Normalised loss before interest and tax (EBIT) improved from $(15.9)m to $(9.4)m . After taking into
account one-off items including insurance claims, restructuring and Scheme costs, and a final
adjustment to provision for an onerous contract, Bremworth recorded a net loss after tax of
$(11.4)m.
Cash and liquidity remain a key focus, with available cash at year-end of $22.0m. Operating cash
outflow (excluding insurance-related cash items) was $(9.3)m, a $14.5m improvement on the
equivalent of $(23.8)m in the prior year.
Chair Rob Hewett said: "The Board is acutely aware of the importance of preserving Bremworth's
financial position while market demand and earnings recover. Investment decisions are being
assessed against clear return criteria, and improving cash generation is a central measure of
management performance."
Outlook
Craig Woolford said: “Our focus has now shifted from rebuilding to growth. While current market
conditions are challenging, we believe Bremworth is strategically and operationally aligned to
capitalise on an eventual recovery in residential construction and renovation activity. We have a
strong brand, a differentiated product offering and a loyal customer base. The foundations have
been laid, and we are well positioned to convert the significant work undertaken into improved
earnings as market demand recovers. In addition to growth in Australia and New Zealand, market
opportunities in North America and China are poised to deliver meaningful benefit to the company
in the medium-term."
While the timing and pace of a broader market recovery remain uncertain, the Board expects
Bremworth's financial performance to improve in FY27 as the benefits from revenue initiatives, cost
reductions and manufacturing improvements progressively flow through.
The immediate objective remains to return Bremworth to profitability and positive operating cash
flow, whilst maintaining disciplined management of the company's cash resources.
Mangawhai Collective partial offer
On 14 August 2026, Bremworth received notice from Mangawhai Collective Limited (“MCL”) of the
intention to make a partial takeover offer for 44% of the ordinary shares in Bremworth that it does
not already own at an offer price of 90c per share. To date, the Board has not received a formal offer
from MCL. The Board notes that, given the offer is only for 44% of the shares in Bremworth not
already owned, there is no guarantee that shareholders selling into the offer will be able to realise
the offer price for all of their shares as excess acceptances would be scaled back.
The Board has appointed an independent adviser to prepare the Independent Adviser’s Report.
Shareholders are advised to take no action in relation to the proposed offer until they receive
further guidance from the company.

2b GOING CONCERN
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
In preparing these forecasts, management considered and, where required, made assumptions in relation to:
-
-
-
-
the capital expenditure that will be required to support the business going into the future;
the cost savings that have been achieved from the review of its cost base and the simplification of its business structure; and
the further cost savings and reduction in working capital requirements that have been identified.
The Board considers that although there are uncertainties relating to these forecasts, these uncertainties are not significant enough to
lead to a material uncertainty relating to going concern.
The Board expects that sufficient funds are available to fund the Group’s operations while also providing the Board with optionality to
continue to look at opportunities to return the business to profitability.
GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO PREPARATION OF PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis and expects to be able to realise its assets and meet
its financial obligations in the normal course of business.
Cash and bank (excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents) at balance date of $22.0 million is down $20.2 million on the $42.2 million
equivalent as at 30 June 2025. This reduction reflects largely the following:
$4.9 million that was transferred to restricted cash and cash equivalents during the year as explained in detail in note 6b;
$5.8 million cash out flows from trading activities, reflecting the ongoing difficult trading conditions;
the re-entry into the synthetic carpet markets in New Zealand and Australia to provide the carpet business with additional volume
while also meeting ongoing requests for synthetic carpet from its channel partners;
the reinstatement of key items of plant and equipment at the Napier yarn plant following Cyclone Gabrielle;
the review of its cost base, with the assistance of external consultants and industry experts; and
the simplification of the business structure and the way of doing business going forward.
The Group has also prepared forecasts of its financial performance, while also assessing cash flows and financial position as part of the
Board's ongoing review of the business.
the additional costs, and time it would take, to re-introduce synthetic carpet into its pre-existing woollen carpet offerings with earlier
product launch plans taking longer than anticipated to execute;
$2.5 million cash out flows relating to costs associated with the proposed scheme of arrangement;
$5.5 million cash out flows for property, plant and equipment, including $4.4 million towards the staged reinstatement of the Napier
spinning plant assets that were damaged during Cyclone Gabrielle; and
$1.7 million cash out flows towards lease obligations.
Notwithstanding the reduction in cash and bank during the period, the Group's financial position remains strong, with equity to total assets
of 61.3% (compared with 68.4% as at 30 June 2025) and current ratio (measured by dividing its current assets by its current liabilities) of
3.03 (compared with 4.94 as at 30 June 2025).
The net working capital (being current assets (excluding cash and bank and restricted cash and cash equivalents) less current liabilities)
employed by the Group as at balance date of $20.9 million compares with $23.0 million as at 30 June 2025 - reflecting the ongoing focus
on working capital employed by the business.
The Board remains committed to the future of the existing carpet business, with a number of decisions taken to strengthen the Company's
financial performance, position and cash flows. These decisions included the following:

Board-led strategic review costs include the costs incurred on the proposed scheme of arrangement with Floorscape Limited pursuant to
the scheme implementation agreement entered into in October 2025.
Cash is cash on hand and demand deposits and is net of bank overdrafts used for cash management purposes where formal
arrangements for set off has been agreed with the Bank of New Zealand ("the Bank"). Under these set off arrangements, the Group is
able to set off overdrawn balances up to a maximum of $1,000,000 against credit balances in selected accounts as long as the net
balance of all these accounts (including overdrawn accounts) as a whole remains in credit. At balance date, there were no overdrawn
amounts subject to set off (2025: Nil). Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of
cash (that is, there is insignificant risk of changes in value) with maturity no more than three months from balance date. Short term
deposits are investments with maturities greater than three months but no more than twelve months from balance date.
The Group's banking facilities include guarantees by the Bank to third parties relating to the Group's lease and other operating
commitments.
At reporting date, the Group held restricted cash and cash equivalents of $4,876,000 (2025: Nil), with this balance relating to cash and
cash equivalents deposited with the Bank as security against the guarantees provided by the Bank. These cash and cash equivalents are
subject to security restrictions and are not available for general operating purposes by the Group.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents are classified as current or non-current based on the expected timing of release of the security
restrictions. Amounts restricted for less than 12 months after balance date are classified as current assets, while amounts restricted for
more than 12 months after balance date are classified as non-current assets.

Accounting policies
Estimates, judgements and assumptions
Inventory provisions are recognised for oddments and obsolete, aged and discontinued , as well as defective, inventories to arrive at
their likely net realisable value.
Estimates and judgement are applied in identifying and categorising - to the extent applicable - obsolete, aged, discontinued and
defective inventories and determining the level of provisioning that is required – with a range of factors including inventory
rationalisation plans, consumer demand and trends, available distribution channels and historical sales and margin data considered.
The approach to inventory provisioning in 2026 is substantially consistent with 2025, with the decrease in provision attributable to the
significant improvement in the Group's inventory profile as a result of the focus that was given during the year to address quality issues
and to dispose off obsolete, aged and discontinued, as well as defective, inventories.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out principle,
and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of
manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating
capacity. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and
selling expenses.

Onerous contract
Accounting policies
The provision has been recognised at the present value of the future net cash outflows relating to the contract, with a corresponding
expense to the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss.
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated
reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by
discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the liability.
The Group entered into an agreement for the sale of surplus land at its Napier yarn spinning plant in November 2025, with settlement 10
workings days after the Group notifies the purchaser in writing that Land Information New Zealand has issued new title for the land subject
to the sale.
New title for the land subject to the sale is expected to be issued in December 2026.
The Group has classified this asset as an asset held for sale under NZ IFRS 5 (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations) because its value will be recovered through a sale rather than through continued use at balance date - with the asset
available for immediate sale in its present condition and the sale being highly probable.
The provision for onerous contract relates to a contract for the supply of product that was entered into during the year ended 30 June
2025. This contract will terminate on the delivery of the balance of product required to be supplied under the contract or 31 December
2026 whichever is the earlier.

OTHERS (continued)
On 14 August 2026, Mangawhai Collective Limited ("MCL") which has legal and beneficial ownership of 13,444,899 ordinary shares in the
Company while also controlling the exercise of voting rights of a further 188,943 ordinary shares (with the total number of shares of
13,633,842 representing 19.734% of the 69,089,365 ordinary shares on issue) filed a notice of intention to make a partial takeover offer
under the Takeovers Code for ordinary shares in the Company that it does not already own or control.
As announced to the market on 10 August 2026, MCL has entered into lock-up deeds with shareholders representing 32.241% of the
ordinary shares in the Company, obliging those shareholders to accept (or procure the acceptance of) the partial takeover offer, if made,
for all of the shares in Bremworth that they or their relevant related trusts or entities own or control. Copies of the lock-up deeds are
attached to MCL's substantial product holder notice lodged with NZX on 10 August 2026.
The Board has formed a Board sub-committee to oversee Bremworth's response, with the sub-committee comprising Trevor Burt, Julie
Bohnnen and Murray Dyer. The Bremworth Board considers it too early to comment on the merits of the draft offer at this time.
The notice of intention is not a formal offer. Rather, it entitles (but does not oblige) MCL to make a partial takeover offer for 43.937% of the
ordinary shares in the Company that it does not already own or control at a price of $0.90 per ordinary share. If an offer is made and is
successful, this would result in MCL owning or controlling up to 55.0% (and no less than 50.001%) of the voting rights in the Company.

- outlining why non-GAAP financial information is useful to investors and how it is used internally by management;
- identifying the source of non-GAAP financial information;
- ensuring that:
-
-
-
-
-
- non-GAAP financial information is unbiased; and
- taking care when describing, or referring to, items as ‘one-off’ or ‘non-recurring’.
presentation of non-GAAP financial information does not in any way confuse or obscure presentation of GAAP financial
information;
a reconciliation from the non-GAAP financial information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial information,
including that for the previous period, can be easily accessed (see below);
a consistent approach is adopted from period to period with respect to the presentation of non-GAAP financial information,
including that for comparative periods;
where there is any change in approach from the previous period, the nature of the change is explained and the reasons
and financial impact provided;
In arriving at this view, the Directors have also taken cognisance of the regular requests by users of the Group's financial information, including
shareholders, regarding the nature and quantum of abnormal items within the GAAP-compliant results and the way shareholders distinguish
between GAAP and non-GAAP measures of profit.
The disclosure of the non-GAAP financial information is also consistent with how the financial information for the Group is reported internally, and
reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer as its chief operating decision maker, and provides what the Directors and management believe gives a more
meaningful insight into the underlying financial performance of the Group and a better understanding of how the Group is tracking after taking into
account items of an abnormal nature, including items that are unlikely to recur or otherwise unusual in nature.
Non-GAAP financial information does not have standardised meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar financial
information prescribed by other entities.
In presenting non-GAAP financial information, the Directors have taken into account all of the requirements within the FMA guidance
note. More specifically, these include:
non-GAAP financial information is not presented with undue and greater prominence, emphasis or authority than the most
directly comparable GAAP financial information;
DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Directors believe that the non-GAAP financial information contained within the financial information pack (more particularly, the non-GAAP
measures of financial performance such as “EBITDA (normalised)", “EBIT (normalised)", “(Loss)/Profit before tax (normalised)" and “(Loss)/Profit after
tax (normalised)" as well as the various other financial ratios that are based on normalised results – for example, earnings per share) provide useful
information to investors regarding the performance of the Group because the calculations exclude items that are not expected to occur on a regular
basis either by virtue of quantum or nature (including insurance claims, restructuring costs and onerous contract).
