Rob Hewett – ChairCraig Woolford – CEO
The fundamentals are in place.
During the 2026 financial year, Bremworth made meaningful progress in
addressing the operational and commercial issues that had constrained
performance in recent years.
Both our yarn plants are now fully operational. Our product
range is more targeted and relevant. Our inventory profile has improved.
Our cost base is lower and the way we operate is simpler.
These changes have created a stronger platform for the business. However, we
still have work to do to build sustainable earnings and value for shareholders.
That is our focus for FY27.

What we do
Premium wool carpet and rugs
Wool remains at the heart of the Bremworth brand.
It provides a high quality, distinctive, natural and
premium flooring offer, supported by our relationships
with New Zealand wool growers. Bremworth is
continually developing new products to remain the
colour and style leader in the carpet market.
Solution dyed nylon carpet
During 2025, Bremworth re-established a premium
synthetic carpet offer, the Origin Collection. This
broadens the market in which we can participate
and enables us to provide retail partners with a
more complete product range.
Wool sourcing
Elco Direct sources wool directly from farmers to
supplement Bremworth’s manufacturing operations
and for sale to external customers.
RELEVANT PRODUCTS. STRONG CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS. RELIABLE SUPPLY.
CONSISTENT QUALITY. DISCIPLINED COSTS AND CAPITAL.
A trusted New Zealand flooring brand
Bremworth is a New Zealand-based manufacturer
and marketer of premium carpets and rugs, with a
heritage stretching back more than 60 years.
We design, manufacture and sell high-quality woollen
and solution dyed nylon carpets for homes and
commercial spaces in New Zealand, Australia and
selected international markets. Our product portfolio
is led by the Bremworth brand, which is known for
quality, design and its long-standing connection with
New Zealand wool.
Our New Zealand-based manufacturing operations
span the entire carpet-making process, from wool
procurement and yarn production through to finished
carpet. With the Napier and Whanganui yarn plants
now operating to expectations, Bremworth has full
control over product quality, production cost, supply
and lead times.
The group also includes Elco Direct, our wool
sourcing business. Elco Direct works directly with
selected New Zealand wool growers and supplies
wool to Bremworth and external customers.

SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL
PROGRESS MUST NOW
TRANSLATE INTO
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Rob Hewett – Chair
Dear Shareholders,
FY26 was an important year of change for Bremworth
with meaningful progress made in addressing a
number of the operational and commercial issues
that had constrained the business in recent times.
However, the financial result remains below where the Board
expects Bremworth to perform over time. While revenue,
earnings and margin, as well as cash outflow, improved, we
were disappointed to record another net loss after tax.
While the improvement is encouraging, continuing losses are
not sustainable. The focus now is on converting the operational
progress made in FY26 into sustainable earnings, cash generation
and shareholder value.
Strengthening the business
Over the past year, the Board has maintained close oversight
of three priorities: resetting costs, recovering revenue and
protecting capital.
A major milestone was the reinstatement of the Napier yarn
plant, with both spinning plants now fully operational. This gives
the business greater control over quality, cost and supply, while
removing much of the complexity and expense associated with
the post-Cyclone Gabrielle yarn supply chain.
The Board has also supported management’s delivery of the
cost reset and operating simplification programme, with
resources redirected towards the capabilities most important
to future performance.
Investment in product, sales and customer capability has created
a stronger platform for revenue recovery, although these initiatives
must now demonstrate an appropriate financial return.
Cash and capital discipline
The Board is acutely aware of the need to preserve Bremworth’s
financial position while earnings recover.
Generating positive operating cash flow remains a key measure of
management performance. While the position improved materially
during the year, the business continued to use funds to support its
operations. Bremworth ended the year with $22.0 million in available
cash, excluding a further $4.9 million held on a restricted basis.
Preserving the Company's financial strength remains a key
Board priority. Investment continues to be assessed against clear
return criteria, with management accountable for improving
cash generation.
Shareholder and ownership matters
The Board spent a significant part of the past 18 months assessing
credible opportunities available to Bremworth. Throughout, we
have consistently sought to maximise value and preserve choice
for all shareholders.
The proposed Scheme of Arrangement with Floorscape Limited
(the Scheme) occupied a significant part of FY26. The Board
entered into the Scheme because of the opportunities available at
the time and as it offered what the Board believed to be the best
pathway to delivering value for shareholders.
The regulatory approval process took considerably longer than
anticipated. Following clearance from the New Zealand Commerce
Commission at the end of June 2026, a group of shareholders
representing approximately 38% of Bremworth’s shares committed
to vote against the Scheme – forcing the Board to abandon
the Scheme.
On 4 September 2026, Mangawhai Collective Limited, which then
held 19.73% of Bremworth, formally made a partial takeover offer
at $0.90 per share to acquire sufficient shares to take its holding
to 55%, subject to the terms and conditions of that offer.
This was preceded by a revised offer from Floorscape on
3 September 2026 of $0.95 per share for 100% of Bremworth.
However, discussions with major shareholders indicated there
would not be sufficient support to warrant progressing the revised
Floorscape offer and the Scheme was accordingly terminated.
The Directors’ recommendation on the Mangawhai partial offer,
together with the Independent Adviser’s Report, has been set
out in the Target Company Statement sent to shareholders
on 17 September 2026. While the Directors do not believe
the Mangawhai offer is the highest value outcome for all of
Bremworth’s shareholders in comparison to the Floorscape
revised offer, given that the offer price is within the Independent
Adviser’s range and the very high likelihood of the offer becoming
unconditional, the Directors have recommended that shareholders
accept the offer. This is a pragmatic outcome that provides all
shareholders the opportunity to realise cash value for a portion
of their shares now.
While these ownership matters have required considerable Board
and management attention, the business itself has continued to
move forward. The Board has continued to focus on the business
and has worked closely with management to rebuild and reset
Bremworth, with significant progress seen in the last 12 months.
But there is a lot more yet to be done.

Leadership and accountability
In July 2026, the Board appointed Craig Woolford as Chief
Executive on a permanent basis. Craig has provided steady
leadership through a period of significant operational and
ownership uncertainty, working closely with our people, customers
and suppliers while maintaining a clear focus on the performance
and strategic direction of the business.
The Board believes continuity of leadership is important as
Bremworth moves from rebuilding capability to delivering financial
results. Craig and his leadership team have clear accountability
for growing carpet sales, improving manufacturing recovery and
margin, maintaining cost and capital discipline, and returning the
business to positive results and operating cash flow.
Board update
As previously announced, three of Bremworth’s independent
directors – Trevor Burt, Julie Bohnenn and Murray Dyer – have
tendered their resignations. In doing so, the resigning directors
advised, that having considered recent developments, they
believed it appropriate to step down and allow the Board to
transition for Bremworth's next phase.
On behalf of Bremworth, I want to thank Trevor, Julie and Murray
for the considerable time, energy and commitment they have
given to the Company. I particularly want to acknowledge the
professionalism and integrity they have brought to the Board during
a period of complex and difficult decisions. Throughout, they have
approached their responsibilities carefully and independently, with
the interests of Bremworth and all shareholders at the forefront.
Their resignations take effect on 25 September 2026.
I will remain on the Board to provide continuity.
Two new Directors have been appointed, effective concurrently
with the three existing directors stepping down.
David Ferrier is the sole director of Mangawhai Collective
Limited, a substantial Bremworth shareholder, which is currently
making a partial takeover offer for Bremworth. He has extensive
commercial and wool-industry experience, together with a strong
shareholder perspective.
Greg Knowles is an experienced director and a former senior
partner and board member of KPMG New Zealand, with a strong
financial background.
In accordance with the NZX listing rules, the Board has
determined that Greg Knowles is an independent director, while
David Ferrier is not independent by virtue of his interests in
Mangawhai Collective Limited.
I look forward to welcoming David and Greg to the Board and
working with them to build on the progress made and support
Bremworth’s continued development.
Looking ahead
Last year was about rebuilding the foundations. This year, we
are focused on growth. We expect performance to improve
in FY27 as the benefits of the initiatives completed during the
year progressively flow through. This expectation remains
subject to market conditions and successful execution, while
noting that operating conditions in both key markets have
remained challenging.
The measure of the progress made will be stronger carpet sales,
improved margins, positive operating cash flow and, ultimately,
sustainable value for shareholders.
On behalf of the Board, I thank our shareholders for their
continued engagement through a period of significant change.
I also acknowledge our people, customers and suppliers for
their support throughout the year.

THE FOCUS NOW IS
ON DELIVERY
Craig Woolford – Chief Executive Officer
FY26 was about getting the fundamentals
of Bremworth’s business right.
We restored required yarn production at Napier, reduced costs and
complexity, improved the quality of our inventory, expanded our
sales coverage and returned high-quality synthetic carpet to our
product portfolio. Together, these changes have made Bremworth
a more relevant, responsive and operationally capable business.
We also improved our underlying financial performance. Revenue
increased 21% to $106.8 million, primarily due to a strong
contribution from Elco Direct. Gross margin improved modestly to
13.6%, while the normalised EBIT loss reduced from $(15.9) million
to $(9.4) million. Operating cash outflow, excluding insurance-
related items, improved by $14.6 million to $(9.1) million.
However, Bremworth was still loss-making and cash eroded in
FY26. The task ahead of us is to translate the work completed
during the year into stronger carpet revenue, better margins
and positive operating cash flow.
A challenging market
Flooring demand remained subdued throughout FY26. Residential
construction and renovation activity in New Zealand and Australia
continued to be weak, while pressure on household budgets
affected discretionary spending on products such as carpet.
The proposed scheme of arrangement with Floorscape Limited
(the Scheme) created an additional level of uncertainty for the
business and for our customers. A sizable section of our customer
base deferred purchasing decisions while the Scheme process was
underway. With the Scheme now terminated, we expect greater
customer support to come through during FY27.
The increase in group revenue was primarily driven by Elco Direct.
The wool sourcing business had a strong year, with a significant
increase in demand in the second half, particularly from wool
exporters. Higher volumes and stronger wool prices contributed
to its performance.
The carpet business continued to operate in a difficult market.
Wool carpet remained the dominant part of our flooring portfolio,
accounting for 95% of carpet sales volumes. While wool carpet
sales in New Zealand and Australia were ahead of the prior year,
the overall level of carpet demand was not sufficient to deliver the
manufacturing utilisation and financial performance we require.
Back in control of our yarn supply
One of the most important milestones of FY26 was the completion
of the latest staged-reinstatement of the Napier yarn plant.
Cyclone Gabrielle caused extensive damage to the site in
February 2023. The hybrid yarn supply chain established after the
cyclone enabled us to continue manufacturing carpet, but it also
added cost, complexity, long lead times and quality challenges.
Both of Bremworth’s spinning plants are now operating to
expectations with 100% of our woollen yarn being produced
internally compared to 44% in April last year. This has restored an
important part of our end-to-end manufacturing capability and
gives us much greater control over the yarn used in our carpets.
The benefits are already evident. Internally produced yarn is
delivering a material improvement in product quality while
reducing product and supply-chain costs.
Pleasingly, it has also allowed us to employ more people in the
regions, with a team of 194 people - up from 120 at the start of
2025 – at the two spinning plants.
The full financial benefit of the latest round of plant reinstatement
will be seen in FY27 – as we continue to focus on optimising
inventory levels, reliable production, increased plant utilisation and
capturing the full cost and quality benefits of the reinstatement.
“With Bremworth’s direction now clearer, we expect greater
customer support to come through during FY27.”
CEO'S REPORT
BREMWORTH ANNUAL REPORT 2026
CEO'S REPORT

A broader product offer
Wool is central to Bremworth. It is a natural, renewable material
and a key point of difference for our brand. Our premium
wool ranges remain the foundation of our product offer and
our relationships with New Zealand wool growers remain an
important part of the business.
Our Product Development team has a clear direction and is focused
on creating innovative new products that reinforce our leadership
in style and colour across the New Zealand and Australian markets.
However, retailers and consumers also expect choice. Solution
dyed nylon (SDN) represents a significant majority of the residential
carpet market, and our previous wool-only position limited the
customers we could serve and the conversations our sales teams
could have with retailers.
We have now re-established Bremworth’s premium synthetic offer
through the launch of the Origin Collection, a range of high-quality
solution dyed nylon carpets. These ranges were developed with
input from retail partners and designed to complement the look
and feel of our wool portfolio.
The launch took longer than originally planned and SDN made
only a small contribution to FY26 sales. With the ranges now in
market, displays and samples being placed with retailers and our
sales coverage expanded, we expect a growing contribution from
SDN in FY27.
The purpose is not to diminish the role of wool. A broader range
makes Bremworth relevant to more retailers and more consumers.
It creates opportunities to participate across more of the
market and, importantly, opens more doors for our premium
wool products.
Rebuilding customer momentum
Customer relationships are at the centre of our revenue recovery.
During the year, we expanded our frontline sales team in Australia
and realigned our New Zealand team. The increased coverage is
allowing us to spend more time with retail partners, respond more
quickly and better understand the products, service and support
they need.
We have also changed how we manage our range and inventory.
Our focus is increasingly on having the right products and samples
available when customers need them, supported by a simpler
supply chain and more consistent quality.
The benefits of the cost-out programme contributed to the
improvement in normalised EBIT from a loss of $(15.9) million to
$(9.4) million. Further benefits are expected in FY27 with the new
operating model and completed initiatives in place for
the full year.
However, to return Bremworth to profitability requires more than
just cost-out. We also need higher carpet volumes, a stronger
sales mix, increased manufacturing utilisation and better recovery
of fixed production costs. Resources are therefore being directed
towards our customers, products and markets that can provide
sustainable returns.
Disciplined management of cash
Cash and liquidity remain critical priorities.
Operating cash outflow, excluding insurance-related cash items,
was $(9.1) million. This was a $14.6 million improvement on
FY25, reflecting the benefit of lower costs, increased revenue
and improved working capital management. It nevertheless
represents continued cash use and must improve further.
Available cash at 30 June 2026 was $22.0 million, with no
borrowings. A further $4.9 million is held as restricted cash to
support bank guarantees and other commitments.
We are maintaining tight control over operating costs, inventory,
working capital and capital expenditure. Investment decisions are
assessed against clear return criteria. Our immediate objective is to
return Bremworth to positive operating cash flow while preserving
the capabilities required to grow the business.
Growth beyond our home markets
New Zealand and Australia remain our core markets and our
immediate commercial focus. At the same time, Bremworth’s
brand, premium wool products and New Zealand provenance
have potential appeal in selected international markets.
During FY26, we renewed our focus on North America and China.
We have identified early opportunities for both wool carpet and
wool yarn and are working to develop them into sustainable,
long-term commercial relationships.
These markets could provide meaningful medium-term growth,
but we will take a measured approach.
Opportunities must demonstrate appropriate demand, margin,
route to market and return on the working capital required. We
will not pursue revenue at the expense of profitability.
Customer uptake has increased as these changes have been
implemented. Wool carpet sales in both New Zealand and Australia
were ahead of the prior year, although the market headwinds and
Scheme process limited the rate of improvement. Our FY27 priority
is to convert better engagement, stronger product availability and
a broader range into sustained volume growth.
In our home markets, this means strengthening relationships with
our existing retail partners, while increasing the number of stores
that actively range Bremworth products and earning a greater
share of their flooring sales.
Better inventory, better availability
Inventory quality was a major focus during FY26.
Following the disruption to yarn production and changes made
to the product portfolio in previous years, Bremworth held sub-
standard yarn and carpet, as well as a long tail of slower-moving
products. This added complexity, absorbed working capital and
did not always support what customers wanted to buy.
During FY26, we successfully sold down all sub-standard yarn
and carpet. This affected short-term sales mix and margin, but it
resulted in a healthier inventory profile and removed product that
did not meet the requirements of the future business.
We also rationalised slower-moving lines and shortened the supply
chain. The result is a more focused inventory profile with greater
emphasis on key SKUs and samples and less working capital tied
up in products that do not support current demand.
Year-end inventory was $29.1 million, compared with $28.0 million
a year earlier. Although the overall value was slightly higher, its
quality and composition improved considerably. Reducing the
cash held in inventory, while maintaining reliable availability of
the ranges customers value, remains a priority for FY27.
A simpler cost base
We completed a comprehensive review of costs and operating
structures during the year. The objective was to create a cost
base appropriate for current market conditions while retaining the
technical, manufacturing and customer-facing capabilities required
for growth.
The review reduced overheads and complexity across the business.
Savings were reinvested selectively in initiatives that can improve
revenue, productivity and inventory quality, including expanded
sales coverage and the restoration of domestic yarn production.
Priorities for FY27
With the major rebuilding initiatives substantially completed,
FY27 is about execution.
Our priorities are clear:
–Grow carpet revenue. Strengthen customer relationships and
increase wool and SDN sales in New Zealand and Australia.
–Improve gross margin. Lift sales mix, capture the benefits
of internal yarn production and improve manufacturing
overhead recovery.
–Increase manufacturing utilisation. Build volumes through
our plants while maintaining quality, service and cost discipline.
–Improve working capital. Further strengthen inventory
composition and reduce the cash tied up in the business.
–Return to positive operating cash flow. Maintain tight control
of costs and capital while converting operational progress
into earnings.
The timing and pace of a wider recovery in residential construction
and renovation remain uncertain. We cannot control the market,
but we can control how well we serve customers, the relevance
and quality of our products, how efficiently we operate and how
carefully we manage cash.
Bremworth enters FY27 with a stronger manufacturing platform,
a broader product range, better-quality inventory, deeper customer
coverage and a simpler cost base. The fundamentals are in place.
Our focus is now on making them deliver.
I thank our people for their hard work and commitment during
a year of significant operational change. I also thank our customers,
suppliers and wool-grower partners for their continued support.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the shareholders of Bremworth Limited
OUR OPINION
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of Bremworth Limited (the Company),
including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2026, its
financial performance, and its 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 Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards).
What we have audited
The Group’s financial statements comprise:
—the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2026;
—the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year then ended;
—the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
—the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
—the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
—the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
BASIS FOR OPINION
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards
on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
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 (PES 1) and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of financial
statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with PES 1 and the
IESBA Code.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Group. Certain partners and employees of
our firm may deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business.
KEY AUDIT MATTERS
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in
forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Inventory valuation and costing
The carrying value of the Group’s inventory at 30 June 2026 was
$29.1 million (30 June 2025: $28.0 million) net of inventory
provisions of $3.1 million (30 June 2025: $5.2 million).
The cost of manufactured inventories and work in progress
includes raw materials and manufacturing costs, including
allocation of production overheads based on normal
operating capacity.
The Group has recorded inventory provisions, which
represent a deduction from the cost of inventory. The Group
applies provisions to estimate the likely net realisable value for
inventory that is obsolete, aged, discontinued, or defective.
Management applies judgement in identifying and categorising
inventory by product status, and in applying provisioning rates
informed by inventory rationalisation plans, consumer demand
and trends, available distribution channels, and historical sales
and margin data. Management attributes the reduction in the
inventory provision from $5.2 million to $3.1 million to the
improved inventory profile following its focus on quality issues
and the disposal of obsolete, aged, discontinued and defective
inventory during the period ended 30 June 2026.
Valuation and costing of inventory is a key audit matter due to
the significance of the inventory balance, complexity of the
costing process and the judgements involved in estimating
the inventory provisions.
Note 8c of the consolidated financial statements describes
the accounting policy on inventories and the judgements and
estimates applied by management to determine the
inventory provision.
To audit the cost of inventory, our procedures included:
—Gaining an understanding of the inventory costing
process and controls;
—Testing the accuracy of the application of inventory
costing by reperforming the calculations made to adjust
standard costs to actual costs;
—Verifying inputs, on a sample basis, of the finished
goods, work in progress, and yarn inventory cost by
agreeing them to supporting documents;
—Testing the cost of raw material inventory, on a sample
basis, to supplier invoices; and
—Evaluating the nature and appropriateness of factory
overheads capitalised into inventory, based on normal
operating capacity, and testing the mathematical
accuracy of the overhead allocation calculation.
To audit the inventory valuation, our procedures included:
—Gaining an understanding of, and assessing, the Group’s
inventory provisioning process and related controls,
taking into consideration key attributes used such as
piece sizes, grade quality, age, discontinued products
and recent sale prices;
—Testing of accuracy of inputs into the inventory
provision calculation, on a sample basis, including
these key attributes;
—Recalculations over the provision to ensure its
mathematical accuracy;
—Observing management’s stocktake process by
attending selected locations to confirm the existence
and condition of the inventory;
—Assessing the reasonableness of management’s
estimate of provisioning by comparing prior year
provision to actual sales;
—Performing sales and margin analysis on finished
goods at a stock keeping unit (SKU) level post
balance sheet date;
—Testing the net realisable value of finished goods, on
a sample basis, by comparing the carrying value with
most recent sales prices and margins; and
—Considering the appropriateness of disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements against the relevant
accounting standards.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONT'D)
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONT'D)
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements.
In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting
estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also
addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was
evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They 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 the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group
materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to
determine the scope of our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,
both individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the financial statements
as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the
Group operates.
Overall group materiality: $1,000,000, which represents approximately 1% of total revenue.
We chose total revenue as the benchmark because, in our view, it is a key financial statement
metric used in assessing the performance of the Group and it is a generally accepted benchmark.
We performed a full scope audit over the consolidated financial information of the Group.
As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:
—Inventory valuation and costing

OTHER INFORMATION
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report,
but does not include the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the 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 financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior
to the date of this auditor’s report, 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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) and ISAs 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 financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board’s
website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
WHO WE REPORT TO
This report is made solely to the Company’s shareholders, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state those
matters which 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 Company and the Company’s shareholders, as a body, for our
audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Maxwell John Dixon.

entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised gains arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing
the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the underlying intra-group transaction provides
evidence that the asset transferred is impaired.

There were no changes in accounting policies during the year ended 30 June 2026.
2f GOING CONCERN
The Group prepares its consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis and expects to be able to realise its assets and

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 6d;
—$5.8 million cash out flows from trading activities, reflecting the ongoing difficult trading conditions;
—$2.5 million cash out flows relating to costs associated with the proposed scheme of arrangement;
—$5.3 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:
—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.
In preparing these forecasts, management considered and, where required, made assumptions in relation to:
—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;
—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.
2. GENERAL INFORMATION RELATING TO PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(CONT'D)
2f GOING CONCERN (CONT’D)
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 in the foreseeable future, while also providing
the Board with optionality to continue to look at opportunities to return the business to profitability.

payment that was agreed with the insurers as settlement of the Group’s insurance claim (2025: progress payment of $750,000 less
deductible of $223,000).
Accounting policies
Insurance proceeds are recognised as income and as a receivable when receipt is virtually certain and to the extent that the
amount can be reliably estimated.
In the event that insurance proceeds cannot be recognised as income and as a receivable because receipt is not virtually certain
and/or the amount cannot be reliably estimated, they are disclosed as contingent assets.

5. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
This section deals with the financial performance of the Group and addresses, among other things, the financial performance of the
Group’s reportable segments and the key areas that impact on the Group’s profitability, including operating revenue, other income,
gains/losses on sale of property, plant and equipment, expenses and taxation.
5a SEGMENT PERFORMANCE
Reportable segments
The Group’s reportable and operating segments are:
—Carpet, with this segment involved in the manufacturing and sales of carpet and rugs in New Zealand, Australia and rest of
the world; and
—Wool, with this segment involved in the acquisition of wool for the carpet segment and for sales to external customers in
New Zealand.
An operating segment is a component of the Group:
—that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses
that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components;
—whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker - in this case, the Chief
Executive Officer - to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance; and
—for which discrete financial information is available.
The Chief Executive Officer uses total revenue, segment result before depreciation, amortisation, insurances, restructuring and
onerous contract and segment result after depreciation and amortisation but before insurances, restructuring and onerous contract
to assess the performance of the operating segments. Total assets and total liabilities for the operating segments are also reviewed.
Segment results are reported on the same accounting basis as the consolidated financial statements, except that certain corporate
costs, financing balances and treasury-related items are not allocated to operating segments.
Corporate costs of $796,000 (2025: $1,042,000) have not been allocated to individual operating segments as they relate to
centralised group functions, including executive management, finance, governance and other head office activities. These costs are
reviewed separately by the Chief Executive Officer and are not included in the measure of segment performance used to assess
operating segment results.
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and lease liabilities are managed centrally by the Group and are therefore not allocated
to operating segments.
Inter-segment transactions
Inter-segmental sales - being wool from the Wool segment to the Carpet segment - are made on commercial terms that are intended
to approximate market-based or arm’s length pricing.
Inter-segmental sales during the year and intercompany profits on stocks at balance date are eliminated on consolidation.

Credit terms for carpet and rug sales through wholesale distribution channels within New Zealand and Australia are generally no
later than 30 days after the month in which invoices are raised. Credit terms for sales of carpet overseas are generally 60 to 90 days
from date of invoice and for sales of carpet yarn overseas 120 days from date of invoice.
Payment terms for wool sales in New Zealand are between 14 and 42 days of invoice date. If despatch of wool is required by the
customer before payment due date, payment must be made before despatch of wool.
Rugs sold through direct-to-consumer channels are for cash, with payment at the time orders are placed. All amounts received are
accounted for as customer deposits in the first instance, with $77,000 of customers deposits booked as at balance date
(2025: $151,000).
Accounting policies
Revenue is recognised at a point in time when or as performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the products
sold to the customer at the transaction price specified in the contract. Control transfers to the customers for carpet, rug and
carpet yarn sales on delivery of the goods to the customer. For wool sales, control passes on the earlier of payment or delivery.
The transaction price includes all amounts which the Group expects to be entitled to, net of goods and services tax and other
indirect taxes, expected rebates and discounts.

In calculating the diluted earnings per share, the Company took into account the maximum number of shares that could be issued
under the Bremworth Share Option Scheme (“Share Option Scheme”) as further discussed at note 10b (Share-based payment)
to the consolidated financial statements, with the 1,000,000 options issued under the Share Option Scheme considered to be
dilutive instruments.
The 1,000,000 options lapsed during the year as a result of the failure to meet the vesting conditions set out under the terms of the
Share Option Scheme as further discussed at note 10(b) (Share-based payment) to the consolidated financial statements. As a
consequence, there were no dilutive instruments at balance date (2025: 1,000,000).

Deferred tax assets at balance date relate to the Group’s Australian carpet sales operation where it is expected that there will be
taxable profits in future periods to allow for the utilisation of the deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets for the Group’s New Zealand entities are not recognised, with temporary differences and tax loss carry-
forwards totalling $16,372,000 at balance date (2025: $14,400,000).
While the Board has confidence in the prospects of the business as discussed at note 2f (Going concern) to the consolidated
financial statements, it has concluded that the progress with the execution of the Group’s strategy to focus on wool carpets in 2020
and to reintroduce solution dyed nylon carpet in 2025 do not warrant the re-recognition of deferred tax assets as it still not probable
that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can utilise the benefits therefrom.
Deferred tax assets have also not been recognised in respect of temporary differences and tax loss carry-forwards totalling
$24,150,000 (2025: $24,150,000) relating to an Australian subsidiary that currently does not have trading activity on the basis that it
is also not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can use the benefits therefrom, taking the
total deferred tax assets unrecognised to $40,522,000 (2025: $38,550,000).
Notwithstanding the derecognition of deferred tax assets for accounting purposes, these deferred tax assets remain available to the
Group for income tax purposes.

5j INCOME TAX (CONT’D)
Accounting policies
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the
extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in other
comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and
any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes and is measured at the tax rates that are expected to
be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted
by the reporting date.
Estimates, judgements and assumptions
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined
based on business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance date and
adjusted to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future to utilise the
deferred tax asset.
6. CAPITAL AND FUNDING
This section looks at the Group’s two key sources of funding, how it manages its funding and other related matters.
6a CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s capital includes share capital, reserves and retained earnings.
The Group’s capital management policy is aimed at maintaining a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market
confidence in the Group and to enable it to continue to fund the ongoing needs of the business and to sustain its
future development.
The impact of the level of capital on shareholders’ return is also recognised, as is the return to shareholders in the form of dividends
paid and growth in share price, and the Group works to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with
greater gearing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital base.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
The allocation of capital between the Group’s specific business segment operations and activities is, to a large extent, driven by the
opportunities that exist within each of these segments and the optimisation of the return achieved on the capital allocated. The
process of allocating capital to specific business segment operations and activities is determined by the Chief Executive Officer
in consultation with the Board and is therefore undertaken independently of those responsible for the operation.
The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board.

Dividends
No dividends were paid during the year (2025: Nil).
The Board has not declared a final dividend in respect of the current year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: Nil).
Cash flow hedging reserve
The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign exchange risks. In accordance with its treasury
policy, the Group does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not
qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and transaction costs are expensed immediately. Subsequent to
initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value.
Where derivatives qualify for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument designated as a cash
flow hedge are recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective. To the extent that the hedge is
ineffective, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Hedge ineffective exchange loss during the year ended 30 June 2026 totalled $733,000 (2025: Nil), with this amount recognised in
the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss as per note 5d (Other income and losses/gains) to the consolidated
financial statements.
If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, then hedge
accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income
remains there until the forecast transaction occurs at which time the gain or loss is transferred to profit or loss. When the hedge
item is a non-financial asset, the amount recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to the carrying amount of the
asset when it is recognised. In other cases, the amount recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is transferred to profit or loss in
the same year that the hedged item affects profit or loss.
The cash flow hedging reserve represents the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value of cash flow hedging
instruments related to hedged transactions that have not yet occurred.

Foreign currency translation reserve
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated
to New Zealand dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to
New Zealand dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
The foreign currency translation reserve comprises all exchange rate differences arising from the translation of the financial
statements of foreign operations and the translation of liabilities designated as hedges against the Company’s net investment
in a foreign operation.
There is no movement in the foreign currency translation reserve balance for the year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: Nil) as the
reserve relates to dormant foreign entities of the Group.
Share-based payment reserve
The share-based payment reserve is used to recognise the grant date assessed fair value of the performance rights issued to
executive employees under the Company’s long-term incentive scheme as further discussed at note 10b (Share-based payment)
to the consolidated financial statements.
The assessed fair value of the performance rights at grant date are recognised as an expense in profit or loss over the period from
grant date to condition date, adjusted to reflect only those rights where the service condition will be met, with corresponding
entries to the share-based payment reserve.
6c BANKING FACILITIES AND LOANS AND BORROWINGS
This note provides information about the contractual terms of the Group’s banking facilities. For more information about the
Group’s exposure to interest rate risks, see note 9 (Risks and financial instruments) to the consolidated financial statements.
The Group’s banking facilities (including Bank guarantees to third parties relating to lease and other commitments of the Group)
are provided by Bank of New Zealand and National Australia Bank Limited (together, “the Bank”).
The Group has no loans and borrowings at balance date (2025: Nil).
The Group continues to maintain ongoing relationships with the Bank, with the view that committed credit lines could be reinstated
in the future to fund working capital requirements as the Group progresses through its transformation journey. As a consequence,
the Group has retained the security arrangements that were previously put in place to secure obligations for the payment and
repayment of moneys due, owing or payable by the Group to the Bank.
These security arrangements included the granting in favour of Bank of New Zealand (“BNZ”), as security agent for the Bank,
a first-ranking composite general security deed and cross guarantee securing all obligations of the Group to the Bank by certain
companies in the Group. The property-owning companies in the Group have also continued to grant in favour of BNZ first-ranking
mortgages in respect of land and buildings as security for all obligations of the Group to the Bank, including obligations for the
payment and repayment of moneys due, owing or payable by the Group to the Bank (see note 7a (Property, plant and equipment)
to the consolidated financial statements).
The carrying value of land and buildings subject to first-ranking mortgages totalled $5,071,000 at balance date (2025: $4,873,000).
The Group entered into two Set-Off and Security Interest in Deposits (“SODEP”) with BNZ in February 2026 – one for $2,200,000
and another for $2,650,000 - as additional security for the Bank in relation to the guarantees and other undertakings provided by
the Bank (see note 6d (Restricted cash and cash equivalents) to the consolidated financial statements).

At reporting date, the Group held restricted cash and cash equivalents of $4,876,000 (2025: Nil) pursuant to SODEPs entered
into, with this balance representing cash and cash equivalents deposited with the Bank as security against the guarantees and
undertakings provided by the Bank plus interest accrued to balance date. 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.

Other assets
Other assets comprise fixtures and fittings (including leasehold improvements and display stands), computer equipment, motor
vehicles and office equipment.
Impairment
The Group’s market capitalisation at balance date was below the carrying value of net assets. Even though market capitalisation
excludes any control premium and may not reflect the value of 100% of the Group’s net assets, it is still considered to be an indicator
of impairment.
As a consequence, the Group conducted a review of non-financial assets, including fixed assets and right-of-use assets, to assess
whether there was any impairment at balance date. The recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs.
There are two cash-generating units which relate to reporting segments in these consolidated financial statements, Carpet
and Wool.
The operating profit before depreciation and amortisation of the Wool acquisition CGU was $2,560,000 which was ahead of budget
and prior year. Management determined that there were no impairment indicators for the Wool acquisition CGU and therefore no
impairment assessment is required.
The Carpet CGU had an operating loss before depreciation and amortisation of $8,239,000 and an impairment assessment was
therefore performed. Management identified the following as separately identifiable assets for the purposes of measuring
recoverable amounts:
—Napier land and buildings
—Whanganui land and buildings
—Right-of-use assets – Auckland
Indicative market values were obtained for the Napier land and buildings, the Whanganui land and buildings and the Auckland lease,
with these market value assessments coming in above the net book value of these assets. As a consequence, no impairment for
these assets was required.
Certain specialised plant and equipment within the Carpet CGU do not have a readily observable market value. In determining the
recoverable amount of the Carpet CGU, management assessed fair value less costs of disposal using available market and
transaction evidence. This included the $0.90 per share partial takeover offer discussed in note 10g (Events after the reporting
period), together with other available valuation evidence and an assessment of relevant costs of disposal.
The offer price was also compared with the Group’s carrying value of net assets of approximately $0.88 per share at the reporting
date and was considered as corroborative evidence in assessing the recoverable amount.
The resulting fair value less costs of disposal supported the carrying value of the Carpet CGU. The Group therefore concluded that
no further impairment of non-financial assets was required at the reporting date (2025: Nil).
The Group has also concluded that no reversal of the previous impairment of assets should be made at the present time (2025: Nil),
with the $0.90 in line with the carrying value of net assets. At the same time, the Group’s actual and short-term forecast financial
performance does not also justify a reversal.
Security
The Group’s property, plant and equipment are subject to various registered charges in favour of the Group’s bankers as security for
the Group’s banking facilities and arrangements (see note 6c (Borrowing facilities and loans and borrowings) to the consolidated
financial statements).

Accounting policies
Recognition and measurement
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets
includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition
for its intended use, and the cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items
(major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Under construction
Items being constructed for future use are held as part of property, plant and equipment under construction. The carrying
amounts of these represent the costs incurred at balance date and will be transferred to the appropriate classification of
property, plant and equipment on completion. Initial cost includes the purchase consideration and those costs directly
attributable in bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use. These costs include site
preparation costs, installation costs, borrowing costs, eligible directly attributable testing/commissioning costs and the
costs of obtaining consents.
Costs cease to be capitalised when all the activities necessary to bring the asset to its location and condition for its intended
use are complete.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss over the estimated useful lives of each part of an
item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.
The principal rates used for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
—buildings 1.0 - 2.5% straight line
—building fitouts 5.0 - 33.0% straight line
—plant and equipment 6.7 - 20.0% straight line
—other assets
–display stands 10.0% straight line
–computer equipment 20.0 - 25.0% straight line
–office equipment 10.0 - 20.0% straight line
–cars 20.0% straight line
–trucks and utilities 10.0% straight line
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date.
Impairment
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and other assets is tested for impairment whenever there are
indicators of impairment.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (being the smallest identifiable asset
group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups) to which the property, plant and
equipment and other assets is allocated exceeds its recoverable amount.
The recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the cash-generating unit.
Estimates, judgements and assumptions
NZ IAS 36 Impairment of Assets requires the Group to assess, at the end of each reporting period, whether there is any
indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group shall estimate the recoverable amount
of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The Group is required to recognise an impairment loss to the extent to which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped in the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash
inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating unit or CGU),
which as at 30 June 2026 were identified as being the Carpet and Wool CGUs.

This section reviews the level of working capital the Group generates and utilises in its normal day-to-day operating activities.
The Group’s working capital includes current assets (cash and bank, trade receivables, other receivables and prepayments and
inventories) and current liabilities (trade payables and accruals and employee entitlements).

$000
Cash and cash equivalents 22,033 15,245
Short term deposits - 27,000
$22,033 $42,245
Accounting policies
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 have 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 acquisition date. Short term deposits are investments with maturities greater than three months but no more than
twelve months from balance date.

$14,134 $11,0 5 0
The Group’s approach and policy with respect to, and quantitative disclosure of, credit risk are discussed in note 9 (Risks and
financial instruments) to the consolidated financial statements.
Impairment losses on trade receivables and other receivables are assessed collectively and on a portfolio basis based on the number
of days overdue using the expected loss model, taking into account the historical loss experienced in portfolios with a similar
number of days overdue as well as current conditions and forecast of future economic conditions.
Accounting policies
Trade receivables and other receivables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently at amortised cost less
impairment losses.

Provided during the year 2,4754,5 30
Utilised during the year(4,564) (1,90 6)
Inventory provision at 30 June $3,149 $ 5,238
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.
Write downs or write offs of inventory produced during the year totalled $1,090,000 (2025: $916,000).
Accounting policies
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.
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.

Accounting policies
Trade payables are unsecured - except to the extent to which they have retention of titles clauses within their supply
arrangements with the Group - and are usually paid within the agreed payment terms.
The carrying amounts of trade payables are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their short-term nature.

$3,677 $ 3,3 87
Leave obligations cover the Group’s liabilities in relation to employees’ accrued and entitled annual leave as well as their
unconditional entitlement to long service leave where they have completed the required period of service.
Accounting policies
Employee entitlements relating to wages and salaries as well as annual leave and other employment-related payments that
are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the annual reporting period in which the employees render
the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period as liabilities and are
measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The entire amount of employee entitlements is presented as current as the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer
settlement for any of these obligations.
9. RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
This section identifies the risks faced by the Group, explains the impact of these risks on its financial position, performance and cash
flows, outlines the Group’s approach to financial risk management and highlights the financial instruments used to manage risks.
Exposure to credit, liquidity, foreign currency and interest rate risks arises in the normal course of the Group’s businesses.
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments in the ordinary course of business to manage foreign currency risks in
accordance with the treasury policy approved by the Board. Senior management operating under the Board-approved treasury
policy ensures that procedures for derivative instrument utilisation, control and valuation, risk analysis, counterparty credit
approval, and ongoing monitoring and reporting are adhered to.
The Group manages commodity price risks through negotiated supply contracts and forward physical contracts. However,
because these contracts are, generally, in respect of raw material and utility purchases for own use, they are not accounted
for as financial instruments.
Credit risk
Management has a credit policy in place under which each new customer is individually analysed for credit worthiness and assigned
a purchase limit before the standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Because of the Group’s customer base,
there is no need for the Group to rely on external ratings. In most cases, bankers’ references, trade credit insurance approvals and/
or credit references from other suppliers are considered adequate. Purchase limits are reviewed on a regular basis.
In order to determine which customers are classified as having payment difficulties, the Group applies a mix of duration and
frequency of default. The Group does not generally require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by its customer base. As such, it is concentrated to the default risk
of its industry. However, geographically, there is no credit risk concentration, with the Group’s customers spread throughout
New Zealand, Australia and other overseas markets. Credit risk exposure with respect to trade receivables is limited by stringent
credit controls, by the utilisation of irrevocable letters of credit and trade credit insurances wherever required, and by the large
number of customers within the Group’s customer base.
The amount and timing of collection of trade receivables and estimate of expected credit losses under NZ IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments have been considered and included in the consolidated financial statements.
The Group does not invest in securities, but accepts that surplus cash and cash equivalents may arise from time to time during the
course of its management of cash. In these instances, it requires these surplus cash and cash equivalents to be deposited on call
or in short term deposits and only with counterparties approved by the Board as having the required credit ratings.
Foreign currency forward exchange contracts have been entered into with counterparties approved by the Board as having the
required credit ratings. The Group’s exposure to credit risk from these financial instruments is limited because it does not expect
the non-performances of the obligations contained therein due to the high credit ratings of the financial institutions concerned.
The Group does not require any collateral or security to support these financial instruments.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk represents the Group’s ability to meet its contractual obligations. The Group evaluates its liquidity requirements on an
ongoing basis. The Group has sufficient cash reserves and is forecast to generate sufficient cash flows from its operating activities
to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities.
The Group’s contractual cash flows and liquidity risk profile are set out in detail in the liquidity risk section of the quotative
disclosures in this note.
Foreign currency risk
The Group is exposed to transactional foreign currency risk to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in
which sales, purchases, receivables and payables are denominated. All entities in the Group have New Zealand dollars ($) as
their functional currency.
The Group enters into foreign currency contracts within policy parameters to manage the risk associated with forecast sales and
purchases. The Group’s policy allows management to hedge up to 12 months forecast sales and purchases without prior approval
of the Board having first been obtained.
The Group applies a hedge ratio of 1:1. The method used to assess hedge effectiveness is Critical Match Terms whereby the hedging
instrument and the hedged item are matched to the key terms. In the hedge relationship, the main cause of ineffectiveness includes
a change in the critical terms, for example, the timing of the transaction.
The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the
currency, amount and timing of the respective cash flows. The Group assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging
relationship is expected to be, and has been, effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item using the critical
matched terms method.

Individually impaired trade receivables relate to a small number of customers where the amounts involved are immaterial. In the
case of insolvency, the Group generally writes off the receivable in full unless there is clear evidence that a receipt, whether directly
or by way of a claim under the Group’s trade credit insurance policy, is highly probable.
The Group adopts the expected loss model in assessing its trade and other receivables for impairment. In doing so, it determines
impairment on a forward-looking basis, taking into account not only past events and current conditions, but also forecast of future
economic conditions. Bad debts are written off when they are considered to have become uncollectable.

Sensitivity analysis
In managing interest rate and currency risks, the Group aims to reduce the impact of short-term fluctuations on the Group’s
earnings. Over the longer-term, however, changes in foreign exchange and interest rates will have an impact on profit.
For foreign exchange contracts that continue to meet the hedge accounting criteria at the balance sheet date to hedge foreign
exchange exposures, it is estimated that a general change in the value of the New Zealand dollar against other foreign currencies
as set out below would have no impact on the Group’s profit or loss before income tax for the years ended 30 June 2026 and 2025.
The impact on equity, net of tax, for these foreign exchange contracts, is disclosed in the table below:

Accounting policies
A financial instrument is recognised if the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial
assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership of the financial assets are transferred. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in
the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Derivatives, being forward exchange contracts, have been measured at fair value using relevant valuation techniques which
include net present value and discounted cash flow models and comparison with similar instruments for which observable
market prices exist. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates,
credit spreads and other information used in estimating discount rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and bank and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value, inclusive of transaction costs, and are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less any impairment losses.

DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUES
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured on a recurring basis. When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the
Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based
on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is,
as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy,
then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input
that is significant to the entire measurement.
MASTER NETTING OR SIMILAR AGREEMENTS
The Group enters into derivative transactions under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting
agreements. In general, under such agreements the amounts owed by each counterparty on a single day in respect of all
transactions outstanding are aggregated into a single net amount that is payable by one party to the other. In certain circumstances
– for example, when a credit event such as a default occurs, all outstanding transactions under the agreement are terminated, the
termination value is assessed and only a single net amount is payable in settlement of all transactions.
The ISDA agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. This is because the
Group does not have any currently legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts, because the right to offset is enforceable
only on the occurrences of future events such as a default on the bank loans or other credit events.
The following table sets out the carrying amounts of recognised derivatives that are subject to master netting agreements:

10a LEASES (CONT’D)
Accounting policies
The Group leases buildings, forklifts and motor vehicles, with contracts typically entered into for fixed periods ranging from
between three to four years for motor vehicles, five to six years for fork hoists and up to sixteen years for buildings, but may
have extension options as further discussed below.
Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group has elected, for leases of motor vehicles, to not
separate lease and non-lease components and instead account for these as a single lease component.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions. The lease
agreements do not impose any covenants other than the security interests in the leased assets that are held by the lessor.
Leased assets may not be used as security for borrowing purposes.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net
present value of the following lease payments:
—fixed payments; and
—variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which
is generally the case for leases in the Group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual
lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:
—where possible, uses recent third-party financing secured by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to
reflect changes in financing conditions since third party financing was secured;
—uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by lessees
within the Group which does not have recent third-party financing; and
—makes adjustments, where necessary, specific to the lease taking into account country, currency and security.
If a readily observable amortising loan rate is available to the individual lessee (through recent financing or market data) which
has a similar payment profile to the lease, then the group entities use that rate as a starting point to determine the incremental
borrowing rate.
Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease
period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
—the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability; and
—make good costs.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Payments associated with short-term leases of plant and equipment and motor vehicles and all leases of low-value assets are
recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months
or less without a purchase option. Low-value assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.
10. OTHERS (CONT'D)
10a LEASES (CONT’D)
EXTENSION OPTIONS
Extension options are generally incorporated into contracts for leases of buildings, with these options used to maximise operational
flexibility with respect to the management of the buildings used in the Group’s operations. Where extension options are held, they
are exercisable only by the Group and not by the respective lessor. Extension options are generally not included in contracts for
leases of plant and equipment and motor vehicles because of the Group’s ability to replace these assets without significant cost,
delay or disruption to the business.
Estimates, judgements and assumptions
In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise
an extension option. Extension options are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended, with
the Group reasonably certain to extend:
—if there are significant costs to not extend; and
—if leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value.
Otherwise, the Group considers other factors including the lease durations already provided for in the contract, the Group’s
future strategic or business direction and the costs and disruptions to the business as a consequence of any decision to not
exercise an extension option.
As at balance date, potential future cash outflows of $17,666,000 (undiscounted) in respect of leases of buildings have not
been included in the determination of lease liability because it is not reasonably certain that these leases will be extended
(2025: $17,666,000).
The lease term is reassessed if an extension option is actually exercised. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only
revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within
the control of the lessee. The Group did not revise its assessment of reasonable certainty with respect to extension options
during the year (2025: Nil).
10b SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
The Company has four share-based payment plans/schemes, with these plans/schemes designed to incentivise selected employees
by providing them with opportunities to be issued equity interests in the Company.
The Company has determined the performance rights, the shares and the options issued under these plans/schemes to be equity-
settled share-based payment arrangements pursuant to NZ IFRS 2 Share-based Payment.
Status of the plans/schemes
Two of the plans/schemes - being the Bremworth 2020 Long-Term Incentive Scheme and the Bremworth Equity Share Plan – are
currently dormant, leaving the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Scheme (“2022 LTI Scheme”) and the Bremworth Share Option Scheme
(“Share Option Scheme”) in operation.

201,924 performance rights lapsed during the year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: 1,472,154 performance rights) as a result of the failure
of the participating employees to meet the service conditions provided for under the terms of the 2022 LTI Scheme.
The remaining 208,343 FY25-27 performance rights will vest subject to the participating employees meeting their service conditions
at 30 June 2027 (condition date) and the volume weighted average price for a Bremworth share over the 20 business days prior to

The Company also did not issue any shares under the 2022 LTI Scheme during the year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: issued, in
accordance with the terms of the 2022 LTI Scheme, 992,093 fully paid-up ordinary shares (“Scheme Shares”) to Bremworth Share
Scheme Limited (“Trustee”), with these shares to be held by the Trustee on behalf of the participating employees until the relevant
vesting date pursuant to the issue of FY25-27 performance rights).
The Company bought back and cancelled 1,472,154 Scheme Shares (relating to the 1,472,154 performance rights that lapsed during
the year ended 30 June 2025 and were therefore no longer required) during the year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: Nil).
Of the 410,267 Scheme Shares held by the Trustee at balance date, 208,343 Scheme Shares were held on trust for the participating
employees who held FY25-27 performance rights at balance date, with the balance of 201,924 surplus Scheme Shares. The surplus
Scheme Shares were transferred to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer after balance date as discussed at
note 10g (Events after the reporting period) to the consolidated financial statements.

that could be issued) - 1,000,000
1,000,000 options lapsed during the year ended 30 June 2026 (2025: Nil) as a result of the failure to meet the total shareholder
return threshold (which required the Bremworth share price to be $0.79 per share at vesting date) for these options to vest.
Impact of share-based payment arrangements on the consolidated financial statements
A credit of $2,000 (being the proportion of the fair value of the performance rights under the 2022 LTI Scheme relating to the year
ended 30 June 2026) was recognised in administration expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the period,
with a corresponding debit totalling $2,000 to the share-based payment reserve within equity (2025: debit of $122,000, being the
proportion of the fair value of the options under the Bremworth Option Scheme and the fair value of the performance rights under
the 2022 LTI Scheme, were recognised in administration expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss for the period,
with a corresponding credit totalling $122,000 to the share-based payment reserve within equity).
Accounting policies
The assessed fair value of the performance rights and options at grant date are recognised as an expense in profit or loss over

Accounting policies
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.
Onerous contract
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.
Warranties
The provision for warranties for carpet sold is based on estimates made from historical warranty data associated with similar
products sold by the Group.
The Group has no history of material warranty claims in respect of non-carpet products sold. As a consequence, no provision for
warranties is required in respect of these other products.
Warranties relating to the sale of carpet are standard warranties extending over a period of 15 years, with an adjustment for
depreciation calculated from date of purchase. The Group does not offer extended warranties that would be subject to a
separate performance obligation.
Estimates, judgements and assumptions
Provision for warranties requires judgement to be applied by considering a range of factors including the nature and extent of
historical claims data associated with similar products sold by the Group, the terms of the warranties built into supply contracts,
consumer protection laws in key markets and the corrective actions being taken to address quality issues at production.

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
For the purposes of this note, key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning,
directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise)
of that entity.
Former Chief Executive Officer as a holder of share options
Greg Smith, the former Chief Executive Officer who resigned from the Company on 30 April 2025, was issued with 1,000,000
options under the Bremworth Share Option Scheme (“Share Option Scheme”) when he joined the Company in 2021.
Mr Smith continued to hold these options pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme until they lapsed on 23 June 2026
as a result of the failure to meet the vesting condition provided for under the terms of the Share Option Scheme as further
discussed at note 10b (Share-based payment) to the consolidated financial statements.
Directors and other key management personnel as shareholders
No Director is a shareholder in the Company.
Victor Tan, the Chief Financial Officer, is a trustee and beneficiary of a trust that holds 167,479 ordinary shares in the Company.
Directors and other key management personnel as lenders or borrowers
No loans were provided to/by the Directors and key management personnel during the year.
Directors and key management personnel as providers of services
No Director or key management personnel provided services to the Company (other than in their capacity as directors or
employees respectively) during the year (2025: $41,000 was paid to Paul Izzard Design Limited for professional services rendered,
with Paul Izzard Limited a company owned and directed by Paul Izzard, who resigned as a Director of the Company on
18 March 2025).
Directors’ remuneration and benefits
The fees paid to the Directors for services in their capacity as directors totalled $328,396 during the year (2025: $405,523).
The scale of fees payable to the Directors was last reviewed and approved by the Board in January 2019, with the current scale
of fees applying with effect from 1 January 2019 set out below:

Key management personnel’s (including the Chief Executive Officer’s) remuneration and benefits
In addition to salaries and performance-based payments, the Group also provides non-cash benefits to the Chief Executive Officer
of the Company and key management personnel of the Group.
These non-cash benefits may include the provision of motor vehicles, income protection insurances, life insurances and medical
insurances. In assessing the value of the non-cash benefit provided to the Chief Executive Officer and key management personnel,
the Group has used the value of the benefit that is used for calculating fringe benefit tax grossed up for the fringe benefit tax that
is paid or payable.
The remuneration paid and payable, and the benefits provided, to the Chief Executive Officer and key management personnel
(but excluding the Directors’ remuneration and benefits) comprised:
2026
$000
2025

Salaries, bonuses and leave entitlements 3,818 3,260
Share-based payments(2) 130
Employee benefits 323 316
Termination payments 173 1,392
$4,312 $ 5,0 98
Key management personnel comprised those employees who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and who are involved
in the day-to-day management of aspects of the operations of the Group. There were 12 such employees during the year ended
30 June 2026 (2025: 10) - with the change reflecting the flatter organisational structure being adopted as part of the focus on costs,
organisational effectiveness and clearer accountability.
The Chief Executive Officer and key management personnel are not entitled to any post-employment benefits under their contracts
of employment.
Other transactions
The Group deals with many entities and organisations in the normal course of business. The Group is not aware of any of the
Directors, the Chief Executive Officer or key management personnel, or their related parties, holding positions in any of these

parties, other than in their capacity as directors and employees, except that they may purchase carpets and rugs from the Group for
their own domestic use. These purchases are on the same terms and conditions as those applying to all employees of the Group and
are immaterial and personal in nature.

10g EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Partial takeover offer
On 4 September 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) made a partial takeover offer under the
Takeovers Code for 43.937% of the ordinary shares in the Company that it does not already own or control.
The partial takeover offer is at a price of $0.90 per ordinary share.
As set out in the partial takeover offer, 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 lock-up deeds would effectively result in MCL owning or controlling at least 51.975% of the Company on completion of the
partial takeover offer and potentially up to 55.0% of the Company.
The Board has formed a Board sub-committee to oversee Bremworth’s response, with the sub-committee comprising Trevor Burt,
Julie Bohnenn and Murray Dyer.
The Directors’ recommendation on the MCL partial offer, together with the Independent Adviser’s Report, is set out in the Target
Company Statement sent to shareholders on 17 September 2026 - with the Directors recommending that shareholders accept the
offer given that the offer price is within the Independent Adviser’s valuation range and the very high likelihood of the offer
becoming unconditional.
Offer of surplus shares held under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Scheme (2022 LTI Scheme)
The Board resolved on 14 September 2026 that 201,924 surplus shares held under the 2022 LTI Scheme be transferred to the Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for no consideration, with the CEO and CFO to receive 121,154 and
80,770 shares respectively in recognition of the significant additional work done in relation to the proposed scheme of arrangement
and, more recently, the partial takeover offer.
Board strategic review
As part of the Board’s strategic review of the ownership structure of the business, which commenced in February 2025, the
Company agreed a fee arrangement with its financial adviser in connection with a takeover offer or scheme of arrangement.
Following the partial takeover offer, the fee has been calculated at approximately $564,000. No liability or expense was recognised
in the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2026 as the contractual conditions giving rise to the fee had not been satisfied
at that date.
10h RISK MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING CLIMATE-RELATED RISKS
Bremworth is committed to the effective management of risks, which is fundamental to the Company’s growth and profitability
targets and outcomes.
Key risks include financial risks, health and safety risks, climate-related risks, cyber risks and business and other operational risks.
Discussion of the Company’s risk management framework and its approach to risks is included in its Annual Report for the year
ended 30 June 2026.
The Group has, as part of its management of risks, put in place a comprehensive insurance programme to protect it against losses
arising from unforeseen events to the extent possible or practicable.
In relation to insurance against climate-related risks, the cover for assets (including the reinstated assets at the Napier yarn spinning
plant) against loss or damage and for business interruption as a consequence of floods is limited to $50.0 million following the
devastating impact of Cyclone Gabrielle on the Group.
The Group will continue to work with its insurance brokers to better understand what would be required for its insurers to reinstate
full cover against floods for the Group over time, while continuing to build resilience into its Napier plant reinstatement programme
to minimise the potential impact of another similar event.
Bremworth is also closely following the work being done by the Hawkes Bay Regional Council - which has assumed control of future
flood protection and resilience in the Awatoto area where the Napier yarn spinning plant is sited - with two flood resilience projects
of significance. The first relates to the replacement of the current Mission drainage pump station, which was built in the mid-1950’s
and upgraded in the 1980’s, with the Awatoto drainage pump station - with the second relating to the strengthening of the two
kilometre stretch of stopbank running along the Tūtaekurī River.
Financial implications of climate-related risks
Based on the Group’s assessment, there is nothing to indicate that climate-related risks have had any impact on the carrying value of
its non-financial assets as at 30 June 2026, with the Board continuing to closely monitor developments in this area and, in particular,
the scope of future insurances against flooding and the mitigation of a similar event on the business.

10i STANDARDS, INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS TO STANDARDS
In May 2024, the External Reporting Board introduced NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (NZ IFRS 18)
(effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027). This standard replaces NZ IAS 1 Presentation of
Financial Statements and primarily introduces a defined structure for the statement of comprehensive income, disclosure of
management-defined performance measures (a subset of non-GAAP measures) in a single note, together with reconciliation
requirements. The Group has not early adopted this standard and is yet to assess its impacts.
10j ASSET HELD FOR SALE
2026
$000
2025
$000
Land situated at Napier $240 -
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2026

BREMWORTH ANNUAL REPORT 2026
Bremworth’s Board of Directors (“the Board”) is responsible for and committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate
behaviour and responsibility and has adopted governance principles reflecting this.
The Board seeks to follow best practice recommendations for listed companies to the extent that is appropriate for the nature and
complexity of Bremworth’s operations.
The Board considers that the Company’s corporate governance framework materially complies with the NZX Corporate
Governance Code.
Bremworth’s Code of Conduct and Ethics and other key policies and charters relating to corporate governance can be found on the
Company’s website www.bremworth.co.nz/corporate-governance
A summary of Bremworth’s governance actions and performance against each of the principles in the NZX Corporate Governance Code
and its compliance with the recommendations relating to each of these principles are set out on pages 75 to 89.
PRINCIPLE 1 CODE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR
Bremworth expects its Directors, officers, employees and contractors to act legally, ethically and with integrity in a manner
consistent with the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics.
The Code of Conduct and Ethics sets out the standard of conduct expected of Directors, officers, employees and contractors and
the Company’s approach to stakeholders. It is supported by other policies and procedures including those that address continuous
disclosures, confidentiality of information, conflicts of interest, reporting of concerns and share trading.
Whistleblowing
Bremworth has established internal procedures to monitor compliance with, and measures for dealing with breaches of, the Code of
Conduct and Ethics. Bremworth encourages employees to speak out if they have concerns. The avenues for doing so are detailed in
the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics which supports the reporting and investigation of breaches of the Code of Conduct and
Ethics and serious wrongdoing in or by Bremworth.
Conflicts of interest
The Board is conscious of its obligation to ensure that Directors, officers and employees avoid conflicts of interest between their
duty to Bremworth and their own interests. Guidance is provided in the Company’s Constitution, Board Charter and the Code of
Conduct and Ethics.
The Board reviews at every meeting the interests register in which relevant transactions and matters involving the Directors are
recorded. It is expected that Directors are sensitive to actual and perceived conflicts of interest that may occur and have constant
consideration of this issue.
Bremworth does not donate to political parties.
The Directors’ interest disclosures can be found on pages 90 and 91.
Share Trading Policy
Bremworth has a Share Trading Policy which, along with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, imposes limitations and
requirements on Directors, officers and employees in dealing in the Company’s shares. Directors, officers and employees who are
likely to have knowledge of, or access to, material information can only buy or sell Bremworth shares during permitted periods and
with the written consent of the Board. They must not use their position of confidential knowledge of the Company or its business to
engage in share trading for personal benefit or to provide benefit to any third party.
Trading in Bremworth shares while in possession of material information is strictly prohibited.
A regular review of the share register is conducted to ensure compliance with the Share Trading Policy.
Confidential third-party agencies for whistleblowing and training on Code of Conduct and Ethics
While Bremworth does not currently provide access to confidential third-party agencies for whistleblowing purposes or regular
training on its Code of Conduct and Ethics to its employees, these matters are under consideration, while also noting that
Bremworth promotes an open-door policy in the workplace to ensure that employees can freely share ideas, provide feedback
or express concerns. In relation to its Code of Conduct and Ethics, Bremworth sets the ‘tone from the top’ through ‘leadership
by example’.

PRINCIPLE 2 BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE
The Board’s role is to add long-term shareholder value, while acting in a manner that the Directors believe is in the best interests of
the Company and having regard to the interests of its employees and other stakeholders. The role and responsibilities of the Board
are detailed in the Board Charter, which is reviewed as and when required, with a copy available on the Company’s website.
Delegation
The Board delegates the day-to-day management of the Company to the Chief Executive Officer (“the CEO”). The CEO in turn
delegates authority to senior management. These authorisation levels are set out in the Delegated Authority Policy.
Board composition
The Board comprises Directors who, collectively, have the balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives
to meet and discharge the Board’s responsibilities. Core competences and skills include health and safety, sustainability and
environment, operations and asset optimisation, financial acumen, sales, marketing and distribution, legal, regulatory and risk,
listed company governance, operating model transformation and well-developed ability for critical and strategic analysis.
A balance of longer-serving Directors with experience in the Company and newer Directors who bring fresh perspective and
insight is desirable where possible. The Board encourages strong individual thinking and rigorous discussion and analysis when
making decisions.
Grant Biel, a long-standing Director and co-founder of the carpet business, who retired from the Board in November 2021, was
appointed the Company’s first-ever Director Emeritus by the Board on his retirement and continues to make himself available to
the Board and to the Company.
As at 30 June 2026, the Board comprised four Directors – Julie Bohnenn, Trevor Burt, Murray Dyer and Rob Hewett.
The profile of the Directors can be found on pages 16 and 17.

While the Board notes that there may be a preference for the Directors’ skills matrix to be compiled on an Individual rather than a
collective basis, it is the Board’s belief that the collective basis presents a better picture of the Board’s ability to deliver on the
Company’s objectives, with the Directors expected to operate as a cohesive team and each bringing different, yet complementary,
skills to the Board.
PRINCIPLE 2 BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE (CONT'D)
Director independence
The Board Charter provides that the Chair shall be an independent Director and that the majority of the Board shall be
independent Directors.
Director independence is determined in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules and with regard to the factors described in the NZX
Corporate Governance Code.
Julie Bohnenn, Trevor Burt and Murray Dyer are independent Directors of the Company, with the Board having satisfied itself that
none of the factors listed in the NZX Listing Rules and the NZX Corporate Governance Code that could affect director
independence are present and having considered holistically the interests, position and relationships of each Director.
The Board also assessed the independence of Rob Hewett including having regard to the factors set out in Table 2.4 of the NZX
Corporate Governance Code.
In making that assessment, the Board noted that Rob has a personal relationship and/or business connection with David Ferrier, sole
director and shareholder of Mangawhai Collective Limited, a substantial shareholder in the Company, which is currently making a
partial takeover offer for the Company as further discussed in note 10g (Events after the reporting period) to the consolidated
financial statements.
The Board considered that this factor is relevant to its independence assessment. It specifically considered whether the relationship
could reasonably cause Rob to be, or be reasonably perceived to be, aligned with a particular shareholder in a material way or
materially influence, or be perceived to materially influence, Rob’s capacity to exercise independent judgement.
After considering the nature, extent and materiality of the relationship, the Board determined that Rob is independent.
In reaching this conclusion, the Board noted that:
—the relationship does not involve Rob acting as a representative or nominee of David Ferrier or Mangawhai
Collective Limited;
—Rob is not subject to any direction or obligation to act in accordance with the interests of David Ferrier or Mangawhai
Collective Limited nor is he aligned with David Ferrier or Mangawhai Collective Limited;
—the relationship is not expected to materially affect Rob’s ability to bring an independent view to Board deliberations and it is
not expected that this would be perceived; and
—the Board is satisfied that Rob is able to act in the best interests of the Company and shareholders generally.
Accordingly, notwithstanding the relationship described above, the Board considers Rob to be an independent Director.
Director appointment
Membership of the Board, and appointment and retirement of Directors by rotation, are determined in accordance with the
Company’s Constitution and the NZX Listing Rules.
While the appointment process is the responsibility of the whole Board, the People and Performance Committee is tasked with
identifying and recommending candidates to fill director vacancies for the approval of the Board. The Committee considers such
factors as it deems appropriate, including capability, skill sets, experience, qualifications, judgement and the ability to work with
other Directors. Reference checks are carried out on all candidates and key information about candidates is provided to
shareholders to assist their decision as to whether to elect or re-elect a candidate.
Shareholders may also nominate candidates for election to the Board, with the Board asking for Director nominations prior to the
Annual Meeting of shareholders each year, in accordance with the Constitution of the Company and the NZX Listing Rules.
New Directors are provided with access to governance information, key policies and all relevant information necessary to prepare
them for their role. New Directors also receive presentations by the CEO and senior management on the key issues facing
Bremworth, its operations and the environment and markets in which it operates.
The Company has written agreements with all Directors establishing the terms of their appointment.
The Board is satisfied that each Director has the necessary time available to devote to the position, broadens the Board’s
expertise and has a personality that is compatible with the other Directors.
Director training, access to information and advice
Directors are encouraged to undertake appropriate training and education to ensure they remain current on how to best perform
their duties. In addition, the CEO and senior management provide regular updates on relevant industry and company issues.
Directors have unrestricted access to Company information and briefings from the CEO and senior management. Site visits provide
the Directors with a better understanding of the business, including its major health and safety risks and how these are managed.
Directors and Board committees have the right, in connection with their duties and responsibilities, to seek independent
professional advice at the Company’s expense, with the approval of the Chair.

Evaluation of Director, Board and committee performance
The Board, and the Board’s committees, critically evaluate annually their own performance and the performance of the individual
Directors. The Board, and its committees, also review annually their own processes and procedures to ensure that they are not
unduly complex and are designed to assist the Board and its committees in effectively fulfilling their roles.
Board succession planning arrangements
The Board reviews, at least once a year, Board succession with the Chair of the People and Performance Committee, with the focus
including Board structure, size and composition as well as the ongoing independence of the Directors while also formulating, where
necessary, succession plans for Directors that take into account impending retirements as well as the challenges and opportunities
facing the Company and the skills and expertise accordingly required on the Board in the future.

PRINCIPLE 2 BOARD COMPOSITION AND PERFORMANCE (CONT'D)
Diversity and Inclusion Policy
Bremworth is committed to creating an inclusive and high performing culture to drive business engagement and success.
Bremworth aims to reflect the communities we operate in. We embrace and capitalise on innovation which starts with listening and
learning. Fundamental elements of our philosophy include:
—seeing the diversity of our work force as a key asset and contributor to improved business performance and decision making;
—not discriminating based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or any other non-performance related
differentiating factor;
—treating our people fairly and respectfully; and
—promoting diversity of thought and action, and unbiasedly rewarding capability and achievement.
The Company has a Diversity and Inclusion Policy, a copy of which is published on the Company’s website. The key areas of
focus are:
—sharing and promotion of the Diversity and Inclusion Policy with employees;
—a capability-based approach to recruitment of people from a diverse as possible range of candidates;
—facilitation of opportunities for diversity of thought and action from all levels of the organisation; and
—promotion of diversity and inclusion through CEO and management visits and presentations that bring employees with
differing perspectives together.
Through our transformation initiatives, Bremworth has been growing its internal pipeline of talent and focusing on bringing women
into supervisory and technical roles.
A number of initiatives are in place to support diversity, and the Board believes the principles in the Diversity and Inclusion Policy
were adhered to in the 2026 financial year.
Bremworth has a diverse workforce, representing more than 15 different ethnicities. English is a second language for a number of
these staff, so Bremworth has initiatives in place to support them in the workplace, including the opportunity to participate in
numeracy and literacy programmes. Bremworth also supports and provides flexible working arrangements – wherever possible –
to recognise the diverse needs of our people.

For the year ended 30 June 2026
PRINCIPLE 3 BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board utilises committees to enhance Board effectiveness in key areas, while retaining Board responsibility. Committees
established by the Board make recommendations to the Board on those matters falling within the scope of the relevant committee
charter. They do not act or make decisions unless specifically mandated by their charter or by prior Board authority to do so.
The Board had two standing committees – the Audit Committee and the People and Performance Committee. In 2025, the Board
decided to combine the governance functions of the Nomination Committee with those of its Remuneration Committee. At the
same time, the Remuneration Committee was renamed the People and Performance Committee. This option is specifically
acknowledged in the NZX Corporate Governance Code commentary for smaller issuers, with the Board considering it
unnecessary or impractical to continue with a separate Nomination Committee and a Remuneration Committee.
Each of these Committees has a Board approved charter (which can be found on the Company’s website), setting out the role,
responsibilities, delegations and membership requirements. The Board regularly reviews the charters of each Board committee,
their performance against those charters and membership of each committee.
The Board believes that each of the committee charters complies with the relevant recommendations set out under Principle 3
of the NZX Corporate Governance Code
The Board appoints the Chair of each committee. Members are chosen for the skills, experience and other qualities that they
bring to the relevant committees.
Bremworth’s Board committees as at 30 June 2026 were:

finance and financial reporting.
Julie Bohnenn, who is Chair of the Audit Committee, is a highly experienced finance professional, director and business advisor with
expertise across the agriculture, retail, health, leisure and corporate travel, and wealth management sectors. Julie is a Fellow
Chartered Accountant with a proven track record as both a Chair and Audit and Risk Chair. Julie has extensive experience in
business restructuring, market disruption, mergers and acquisitions, stakeholder engagement, regulatory compliance and
project governance.
Independent Takeover Committee
The Board has a Takeover Response Policy setting out the objectives of the Company’s takeover response strategy and establishing
the appropriate protocols to be followed in the event of a takeover offer for the Company. It covers, among other things:
—structure of the takeover response team and roles of key groups in the team;
—the Takeovers Code process and timetable;
—steps to be taken on receipt of a takeover notice;
—communications between the Company and the bidder; and
—potential takeover response strategies.
The Takeover Response Policy also provides guidance on the composition of the Board Takeover Committee to ensure that it is
independent of the bidder, while also providing further guidance on the disclosure of the composition of the Takeover Committee
once it has been appointed and the bid made public.
PRINCIPLE 4 REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE
Continuous disclosure
The Board is responsible for the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of all Company disclosures, including its results, financial
reporting and all matters relating to its business activities that could have a material effect on the price of Bremworth shares if they
were generally available to the market.
Bremworth is committed to promoting investor confidence by providing timely, accurate, complete and equal access to material
information, both positive and negative, in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules. To achieve and maintain high standards of
disclosures, Bremworth has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy, which is designed to ensure compliance with NZX continuous
disclosure guidance note.
This Policy, a copy of which is published on the Company’s website, sets guidelines and outlines responsibilities to safeguard the
Company against inadvertent breaches of continuous disclosure obligations.
Financial reporting
The Board is committed to balanced, clear and objective financial reporting, which includes preparing consolidated financial
statements that comply with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and fairly present the Group’s financial position
as at the Group’s balance date and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date
The Audit Committee assists the Board in providing oversight of the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the
accuracy and completeness of the financial statements. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company also
ensures that its financial reporting is accompanied by sufficient explanation and is expressed in a clear and objective manner to
assist investors make informed investment decisions.
All matters required to be addressed, and for which the Committee has responsibility, were addressed during the reporting period.
The Directors believe that proper accounting records which enable, with reasonable accuracy, the determination of the financial
position of the Group and facilitate the compliance of the consolidated financial statements with the Financial Markets Conduct Act
2013 have been kept.
The Chief Financial Officer holds the role of Company Secretary. In all secretarial matters, the Board ensures that the Company
Secretary’s reports are objective and that the Company Secretary has unfettered access to the Chair and the Audit Committee,
without reference to the CEO.

Non-financial reporting (including sustainability)
In addition to shareholders, Bremworth has a wide range of stakeholders and maintains open channels of communication for
all audiences, including the investing community and the New Zealand Shareholders’ Association, as well as its employees,
suppliers and customers.
Insight into Bremworth’s assessment of its business, strategy and performance can be found on pages 1 to 18.
A detailed framework addressing the Company’s environmental and social responsibilities has been developed, with the
business following the integrated People, Planet and Prosperity framework with the three key pillars detailed below.

We remain conscious to the raw materials that we use and the other resources that we consume in our manufacturing processes.
Bremworth is not a climate reporting entity (CRE) because it falls under the financial threshold required to be a CRE. As a
consequence, it is not required to prepare and lodge climate statements on the climate-related disclosures (CRD) register that
has been established under the CRD regime.
Despite this, Bremworth acknowledges the role that it has to play in the move towards decarbonisation and remains committed
to environmental sustainability.
NON-FINANCIAL REPORTING REVIEW PROCESS
Bremworth’s non-financial reporting is not reviewed by an external auditor or otherwise independently audited, with Bremworth
seeking to ensure that its non-financial reporting disclosures are materially accurate by having a robust internal review process
that seeks to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of these disclosures.
PRINCIPLE 5 REMUNERATION
The Board has a clear policy for setting remuneration of Directors and senior management at levels that are fair and reasonable
to attract, reward and retain the skills, knowledge and experience required to enhance the Company’s performance.
Bremworth’s Remuneration Policy is available on the Company’s website.
The People and Performance Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities in relation to setting and reviewing
of Directors’ remuneration and senior management objective setting, performance review and remuneration.
External advice is sought as required to ensure remuneration is benchmarked to the market for Directors and senior
management positions.
Directors’ remuneration
Shareholders resolved at the October 2018 Annual Meeting that the total remuneration to be paid to the non-executive Directors be
fixed at a sum not exceeding $450,000 per annum, such sum to be divided amongst them in such proportions and in such manner as
they may determine.
The remuneration payable to the Directors was last reviewed and approved by the Board on 18 January 2019, with the current scale
of Directors’ remuneration applying from 1 January 2019 set out on page 68 (note 10e (Related parties) to the consolidated
financial statements).
The total remuneration paid to the Directors for the year ended 30 June 2026 was $328,396, with the details paid to each
Director set out on page 92.
The Directors do not receive any other benefits (cash or non-cash) in their role as directors and are not entitled to retiring
allowances on cessation of office. Directors are also not entitled to performance-based remuneration.
Directors are not eligible to participate in any of Bremworth’s share-based payment arrangements and no shares, options
or performance rights have been issued to the Directors under any of these share-based payment arrangements
Remuneration strategy
Bremworth’s remuneration strategy has been:
—aligned with its recruitment and leadership development philosophies and its approaches to performance management to
ensure the attraction, development and retention of talented individuals; and
—underpinned by a pay-for-performance philosophy and utilises annual performance incentives to provide opportunities for
individuals to achieve market competitive remuneration levels and in the case of superior performance, total remuneration
above market.
CEO and executive remuneration
The CEO and executive remuneration packages for the year ended 30 June 2026 are made up of two key components – being fixed
remuneration (in the form of fixed base salary plus fringe benefits) and variable short-term performance incentives.
Fixed remuneration
Bremworth’s philosophy with respect to fixed remuneration is to ensure that all employees are fairly and equitably remunerated
relative to similar businesses and positions within the New Zealand market.
Fixed remuneration levels are reviewed annually for market competitiveness and alignment with strategic priorities and
performance outcomes and to ensure:
—our employees are strongly motivated to deliver shareholder value;
—the Company is able to attract and retain high-performing employees who will ensure the achievement of business
objectives; and
—the provision of benefits and allowances that contribute to the health and well-being of our employees.

PRINCIPLE 5 REMUNERATION (CONT'D)
Short-term performance incentives
Short-term performance incentives are at-risk payments that are designed to motivate and reward performance during a financial
year, with targets set by the Board having regard to strategic priorities and desired performance outcomes from time to time.
Short-term performance incentives include both Company targets and individual targets, with minimum thresholds in place for both
of these. Eligibility to short-term performance incentives is conditional on these thresholds being achieved in the first instance, with
pay outs dependent on the extent to which actual performance exceeds the targets determined by the Board.
Individual targets (and the clear measures underlying these targets to determine achievement or non-achievement in any one year)
are set having regard to the roles and responsibilities held by the CEO and selected members of the executive leadership team and
as agreed with the Board (in the case of the CEO) and with the CEO (in the case of the relevant members of the executive leadership
team) at the start of the relevant financial year.
Long-term performance incentives
Bremworth’s long-term performance incentives are designed to align the interests of the CEO and members of the Bremworth
executive leadership team with those of shareholders, and to incentivise them to enhance long-term shareholder value, through
share-based payment arrangements.
More information on these long-term incentives can be found on pages 65 and 66 (note 10b (Share-based payment) to the
consolidated financial statements).
The Board has decided - as part of the ongoing review of the business - to suspend long-term performance incentives indefinitely.
CEO’s remuneration
The remuneration of the CEO was set independently, and without any involvement of the CEO, on an arm’s length commercial basis
as approved by the Board.
The CEO’s remuneration comprises a fixed base salary, benefits (including holiday pay entitlement) and short-term incentives as
established by the Board, with these incentives designed to reward the CEO for the additional work and responsibilities relating to
the Board-led strategic review and the restructuring of the cost base of the business.
The CEO did not receive any share-based payments.

PRINCIPLE 6 RISK MANAGEMENT
Bremworth is committed to the effective management of risk, which is fundamental to the Company’s growth and profitability
targets and outcomes.
The Company maintains a risk management framework for the identification, assessment, monitoring and management of risk and
has in place, among other policies, a Health and Safety Policy, a Treasury Management Policy and a Delegated Authority Policy to
manage specific risks.
The Board is responsible for overseeing and approving the Company’s risk management framework and risk tolerance levels as well
as ensuring that an effective assurance system is in place, with assistance sought from external independent experts
where appropriate.
Process
The Company has completed a comprehensive review of its key risks. This review took into account, among other things, the
learnings from the disruptions to the business as a consequence of Cyclone Gabrielle, the changes that had to be made to the
business post-Cyclone Gabrielle and the findings of the Board-led strategic review that commenced following the cyclone.
In conducting this review, the Company considered both the potential impact and likelihood of risks that had been identified by its
businesses, allowing the Board and management to prioritise these risks and to focus on those areas presenting the highest risks to
the Group.
Management is required, as part of the Company’s risk management framework, to report on the top 10 risks that have been
identified to the Board quarterly – focusing on any changes in potential impact and likelihood of these risks as well as the control
environment that has been put in place to mitigate those risks and the effectiveness of those controls. Additionally, management is
also required, as part of this risk management framework, to report annually on all risks recorded in the risk register to give the
Board insight into risks as a whole and how these have changed over the year.
The Directors also conducted a Board-CEO risk workshop during the year as part of the ongoing review of risks.
Some of the risks that have been identified are discussed in more detail below.
Financial risks
The material financial risks facing the business and the management of these risks are discussed at pages 55 to 62 (note 9 (Risks and
financial instruments) to the consolidated financial statements) with management operating under the Board-approved Treasury
Management Policy and ensuring that procedures for derivative financial instrument utilisation, control and valuation, risk analysis,
counterparty credit approval, and ongoing monitoring and reporting are adhered to.

PRINCIPLE 6 RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT'D)
Health and safety risks
The Board has a Health and Safety Policy, a copy of which is published on the Company’s website.
The Health and Safety Policy provides the context, direction and framework within which all other health and safety materials are
developed. It is the foundation for managing health and safety risks whilst applying a learning and people-centric lens to our
operations and risk management. Our critical risk framework and controls are key enablers and challenge us to design out risk
where possible. To enable our people to thrive, we designed a holistic approach to their safety and wellbeing so that we support
our team to be their best selves.
Our critical risks are shown below.
The Board adopts a risk-based approach to health and safety risk management, focusing on strengthening critical risk management,
while continuing to develop organisational capability and accountability for making health and safety an integral part of our
business. Health and safety is a standing agenda item at Board meetings and Directors complete site visits which include a health
and safety focus.
Bremworth provides comprehensive training and education that equips our employees with the knowledge and skills to uphold
safety standards, respond effectively to emergencies, and foster a culture of continuous improvement and wellbeing.
There is an ongoing emphasis to learn from high-risk potential events and to proactively manage risks to prevent reoccurrence.
A key initiative to support this is the implementation of a “Learning Teams” approach to investigations.
The Health and Safety programme concentrates on clearly identifying critical risks and strengthening control effectiveness for these
key critical risks. Key areas of the programme include improving machinery safety, implementation of electric forklifts and reducing
hazardous substance risk. Initiatives are executed within a cycle of continuous improvement and with the input and support of our
site Health and Safety committees.
Underpinning this is a focus to protect and grow our talent, maintain strong safety leadership and create psychologically safe
workplaces for our people to thrive.
Areas with limited access and
potential to contain a toxic or
oxygen-deficient atmosphere.
Fixed plant used in making carpet
and yarn.
Tools or equipment falling

Powered mobile equipment
including moving vehicles, forklifts
and elevated work platforms.
Person falling from one level

PRINCIPLE 6 RISK MANAGEMENT (CONT'D)
Climate-related risks
The climate-related risks facing the business, and the management of these risks, are discussed at page 70 (note 10h
(Risk management, including climate-related risks) to the consolidated financial statements).
Cyber risks
In response to cyber threats – which are continuing to grow and evolve – Bremworth has a comprehensive programme in
place to protect itself against these threats.
This programme includes external independent reviews of the control environment that has been put in place, regular penetration
tests to provide ongoing assurances around the integrity of that control environment and the various initiatives aimed at raising
awareness internally of these threats. Additionally, Bremworth also has insurance cover against cyber risks.
Internal monitoring and maintenance procedures have also been established, with Bremworth consistently achieving a security
score well above the average for organisations of a similar size.
Business and other operational risks
Business and operational risks facing Bremworth included the risks arising from the new hybrid yarn supply chain that was
established in response to the disruptions brought about by Cyclone Gabrielle, with the Company undertaking a staged
reinstatement of machinery at its Napier yarn spinning plant to mitigate those risks while also enabling it to continue to innovate
and scale distinctive product ranges.

PRINCIPLE 7 AUDITORS
External audit
The Board is responsible for ensuring the quality and independence of the statutory audit process and has adopted an External
Audit Independence Policy, a copy of which is published on the Company’s website.
Specifically, the External Audit Independence Policy requires, among other things:
—the rotation of the key audit partner every five years;
—a mandatory three year stand down period to be completed before a key audit partner can be appointed to the
Bremworth audit again.
The Company does not currently have a policy on the tenure of its audit firm, with PwC appointed external auditor in May 2021.
The Audit Committee is charged with considering, and making recommendations to the Board regarding, any issues relating to
the independence, performance, appointment or termination of the external auditor.
The Committee reviews the quality and cost of the statutory audit undertaken by the Company’s external auditor and provides a
formal channel of communication between the Board, senior management and external auditor. The Committee also assesses the
external auditor’s independence on an annual basis.
Bremworth’s external auditor attends the Annual Meeting and is available to answer questions relating to the conduct of the
statutory audit and the preparation and content of the auditor’s report.
The fees paid to the external auditor for audit work for the years ended 30 June 2025 and 2026 are set out on page 42 (note 5e
(Audit fee and expenses) to the consolidated financial statements).
All non-audit work carried out by the external auditor are required to be approved by the Board pursuant to the External Audit
Independence Policy as having no effect on the independence or objectivity of the external auditor in relation to its statutory
audit work.
In determining whether a non-audit related service impinges on the independence or objectivity of the external auditor,
consideration is given to, among other things, the people doing the work, the nature of the work done and whether it involves
any calculations of balances in the financial statements or for financial reporting.
The external auditor did not provide any non-audit services during the 2026 financial year.
Internal audit
Bremworth suspended its internal audit programme in the 2024 financial year, pending the complete review of the key risks facing
its businesses as discussed in more detail under Principle 6 – Risk Management.
This review work, which has now been completed, informs the internal audit programme going forward, with the focus of the
programme directed at the key risks that have been identified and the control environment that has been put in place to manage
these key risks.
Bremworth adopts a risk-based approach to internal audit that prioritises audit activities based on the potential impact and
likelihood of risks, with this approach helping to ensure that audit resources are not only adequate but also focused on those areas
that present the highest risks to the Group.
The Group anticipates that its internal audit programme will provide objective assurance of the effectiveness of its internal control
framework while also bringing a disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of risk management, internal
controls and governance processes.
PRINCIPLE 8 SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS AND RELATIONS
Bremworth respects the rights of shareholders, is focused on fostering constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage
them to engage with the Company and values dialogue with institutional and private investors.
Bremworth is also committed to giving all shareholders comprehensive, timely and equal access to information about its activities
and keeps shareholders informed through:
—continuous disclosures to NZX;
—half year and annual reports, including accompanying shareholder presentations where appropriate;
—the Annual Meeting and any other meetings of shareholders called to obtain approval for Board actions as appropriate; and
—the Company’s website www.bremworth.co.nz/investor-centre where investors and interested stakeholders can access
financial and operational information and key corporate governance information about the Company.
The Board encourages shareholders to opt to receive communications from the Company electronically, thereby ensuring that
they get access to communications efficiently and in a timely manner.
Shareholder meetings
The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at shareholder meetings to ensure a high level of Director and management
accountability and shareholder identification with Bremworth’s strategies and goals – with shareholders able to attend and
participate at shareholder meetings either in person or virtually (that is, online).
Shareholders are able to ask questions of and express their views to the Board, management and the external auditor at Annual
Meetings of shareholders. The Board adopts the one share, one vote principle, conducting voting at shareholder meetings by poll.
Shareholders are also able to cast postal votes or vote by proxy ahead of meetings without having to physically attend those
meetings.
Bremworth aims to make its notice of Annual Meeting and any other meetings of shareholders available on its website at least
20 working days prior to the meeting, with the notice of meetings accompanied by virtual meeting guides that help shareholders
understand how the virtual meetings would be conducted and how to better participate at these meetings.
The next Annual Meeting is to be held on Thursday, 19 November 2026

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Directors believe that the non-GAAP financial information contained within the Annual Report (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).
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:
—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 not presented with undue and greater prominence, emphasis or authority than the
most directly comparable GAAP financial information;
–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;
–non-GAAP financial information is unbiased; and
—taking care when describing, or referring to, items as ‘one-off’ or ‘non-recurring’.
