CHAIRMAN AND CEO REPORT
Dear Shareholders
thl's performance in the first half of FY20 was down on the prior year, with NPAT of $13.1M down 25%. Our core rentals businesses delivered another strong performance, but our overall result reflects the tough market conditions in the USA vehicle sales market and further investment in Togo Group in this period.
FY20 Outlook
On 5 February, we provided a market update noting that our expectation for thl's FY20 NPAT was that it would be around NZ$24M. There has been no change to our expectation since that date.
That expectation factored in a forecast reduction in Chinese inbound customers from February through to April 2020 due to the Covid-19 containment measures. The global situation with Covid-19 continues to remain uncertain, however at this stage we do not consider there to be any additional information that causes any change to our assumptions. The impact of this event has been greatest in the Waitomo business.
The Australian bush fires did create cancellations in late January and February, but the greater concern was the lower forward bookings from the long-haul markets. We have since experienced a rebound and do not expect the impact to be material to the total business in the remainder of this financial year.
We will provide a further update to the market prior to our FY20 annual results announcement in August.
Dividend
We have declared a fully imputed interim dividend of 10cps, compared to our prior year interim dividend of 13cps, which was partially imputed to 50%. Compared to the pcp, our dividend per share reflects the greater number of shares on issue. In determining our interim FY20 dividend, we have continued to exclude our investment in Togo Group. Our interim dividend will be paid in May to better align with thl's working capital requirements and to better manage debt facilities.
The Dividend Reinvestment Plan will not be operative for this dividend payment.
Business Update
Revenue for the period was $207M - in line with the prior corresponding period (pcp). Within that performance, we had a 3% increase in our rentals and services revenue to $148M, with our rental revenue increasing across New Zealand and Australia, and remaining flat in the USA. This growth was offset by a reduction in vehicle sales revenue of 6% to $59M.
Operating profit before interest and tax (EBIT) was $31.0M, down 11%, and NPAT of $13.1M was down 25% on the pcp. These results reflect our USA vehicle sales performance and, in respect of NPAT, also reflects our greater investment in Togo Group compared to the prior year.
New Zealand rentals and sales The EBIT for New Zealand rentals and sales was $7.5M - up 6% on the pcp result of $7.0M. New Zealand is experiencing another positive year with growth in both rentals and vehicle sales.
Rental revenue of $40.5M is up 5% on the prior year, with growth in hire days and yield. Vehicle sales revenue increased by 14% to $25.8M, with growth in sales volumes as well as margins.
02 thl Interim Report 2020
Australian rentals and sales
The EBIT result for Australia was
AU$8.2M - up 7% on the pcp result of AU$7.6M. Rental income grew by 4%, to AU$35.6M, with strong growth in hire days offsetting a small reduction in yield due to increased competitive pricing. Vehicle sales revenue fell 9%, to AU$7.2M, due to a shift in the mix of vehicles sold towards smaller RVs. Total vehicle sales contribution improved on the pcp due to growth in average sales margins on consistent vehicle sales volumes.
We expect the majority of the impact from the Australian bush fires to be in the second half of the year. As a result, H2 FY20 rental revenue is expected to be below H2 FY19.
USA rentals and sales
The EBIT result for USA was US$8.0M for the half - down 35% on the pcp result of US$12.4M. In NZD terms, rental revenue was 4% up, to $52.4M, due to favourable movements in the NZD:USD exchange rate. However, at the USD level, rental revenue remained in line with the pcp at US$33.9M. An improvement in hire days was offset by a decline in average yield.
Vehicle sales revenue declined by 23%, to US$16.1M. The decline was driven by a 37% drop in average sales margin, which is partly due to a greater number of vehicles being sold through wholesale channels. The total number of vehicles sold in the half was 351, down 12% on the pcp number of 400.
Tourism businesses
Revenue for the Tourism Group was down 4%, to $17.8M. EBIT for the Tourism Group was down 3%, to $4.3M, driven by lower visitor numbers in both Waitomo and Kiwi Experience for the half.
The Kiwi Experience business has improved its EBIT performance over the prior year, despite experiencing a decline in passenger numbers. The small group tours product was launched in late 2019 and to date it has experienced strong demand and forward bookings, and positive customer reviews.
Group support
Costs in group support were $1.8M
- a 47% ($1.6M) reduction on the pcp. The variance is primarily attributable to the transaction costs incurred in the first half of FY19 relating to the discontinued sale of the Tourism businesses and other acquisition opportunities.
Associates and Joint Ventures
Action Manufacturing (50%) Action Manufacturing delivered a positive result compared to the prior half. Our share of profit before tax in the half was $1.4M, compared to $0.6M in the pcp. The prior result included the transaction and integration costs for the Fairfax acquisition as well as other planned expenses relating to new brand and product development.
Just go (49%)
The Just go business had its first six months with the new location (Edinburgh, Scotland) and is in growth mode. We believe uncertainty with Brexit impacted vehicle sales against plan, however recent performance at vehicle sales shows has improved, and the forward bookings for CY2020 in the rentals business is positive.
Togo Group (50%)
We are conscious of the level of investment going into Togo Group, and of its future cash requirements. We are currently reviewing the nature of thl's future investment into Togo Group.
General Business Updates
Future-Fit Initiative
We are underway with our work to understand our current position against each of the Future-Fit goals. These assessments allow us to identify specific areas and actions that we can implement to make a positive difference.
Over the remainder of FY20, the team will continue their work and we will provide an update on where we stand with the release of our full year results.
Capital Structure and Debt
Net debt at 31 December 2019 was $181M, compared to $226M in the pcp. The net debt: EBITDA ratio was 1.7x down from 2.0x in the pcp. This reflects the equity raise in CY2019, offset by the excess fleet over the period in the USA.
With the balance of lower purchases coming through the business in this coming half we expect that net debt will be approximately $135M - $145M at the end of FY20, compared to $202M at the end of FY19.
Capital Expenditure
We have reduced our capital expenditure in the USA to reflect the conditions in that sales market. thl's FY20 capital expenditure is expected to be around $133M, broadly in line with our earlier expectations. New Zealand and Australia will continue to have net capital investment in FY20.

the Group has net current liabilities excluding assets held for sale. This arises mainly from the revenue in advance liability that reflects the collection of rental income from customers prior to the month of travel. This liability is recognised as revenue in future months, and does not represent a future outward cash flow.
Critical accounting estimates and judgement
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the 30 June 2019 annual financial statements.
Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the 30 June 2019 annual financial statements except as disclosed below.
Issued standards and amendments effective from 1 July 2019
NZ IFRS 16, Leases was adopted using the modified retrospective approach, with no restatement of comparative information. The cumulative effect of adopting NZ IFRS 16 was recognised in the opening balance sheet as at 1 July 2019. Further details of the adoption of NZ IFRS 16 and the new accounting policy are disclosed in note 5.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the executive management team together with the Board of Directors, who together make strategic decisions.
Operating profit/(loss) before interest and tax is the main financial measure used by the CODM to review the Group's performance. Interest income and expenditure are not included in the result for each operating segment that is reviewed by the CODM.
Inter-segment transactions such as Group Support Services recharges are entered into under normal commercial terms and conditions that would also be available to unrelated third parties. All revenue is reported to the executive team on a basis consistent with that used in the income statement.
Segment assets consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, inventories, receivables and operating cash. The investments and derivatives designated as hedges of borrowings are allocated to 'Other segment'. Net funds employed are total assets less segment non-interest-bearing liabilities and cash on hand.

5. Leases
Adoption of NZ IFRS 16
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 Leases from 1 July 2019, but has not restated comparatives for the 2019 reporting period,
as permitted under the specific transition provision in the standard. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new leasing rules are therefore recognised in the beginning balance sheet on 1 July 2019. The reduction in retained earnings on 1 July 2019 was $7.6M. This is a non-cash adjustment and did not impact the Group's ability to comply with its debt covenants.
Prior to 1 July 2019, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as operating leases with an operating lease expense recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases under NZ IAS 17.
From 1 July 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is 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.
The Group's leasing activities
The Group predominantly leases its premises in New Zealand, Australia and the United States under operating lease agreements. Lease agreements may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the agreement to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. However, for leases of real estate for which the group is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for these as a single lease component.
Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms, escalation clauses and renewal rights. 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.
Lease liabilities have been measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using a discount rate derived from the incremental borrowing rate for each relevant overseas territory on 1 July 2019 when the interest rate implicit in the lease was not readily available. Incremental borrowing rates applied to lease liabilities range between 4.3% - 5.3%. The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on the change of an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
- any initial direct costs, and
- restoration costs.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the expected lease term on a straight-line basis.
Short-term and low-value leases
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in the Income Statement. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and predominantly relate to computer equipment.
Extension and termination options are included in a number of property leases across the Group. In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment of the lease term is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the Group. The extension options are only exercisable by the Group and not by the lessor. Where an extension is reasonably certain of being exercised, that extension period and related costs are recognised on the balance sheet.
To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Group and makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

The cash flows presentation impact of NZ IFRS 16
Prior to the adoption of NZ IFRS 16, operating lease payments were included in payments to suppliers within operating activities. Following the adoption of the NZ IFRS 16, the interest component is allocated to operating cashflow, and the repayment of the lease liability principal is classified within financing activities.

Practical expedients applied
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- applying a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
- accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at 1 July 2019 as short-term leases
- excluding initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application, and
- using hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease

11. Seasonality of business
The tourism industry is subject to seasonal fluctuations with peak demand for tourism attractions and transportation over the summer months. The operating revenue and profits of the Group's segments are disclosed in note 1. New Zealand and Australia's profits are typically generated over the southern hemisphere summer months and the United States of America's profits are typically generated over the northern hemisphere summer months. Due to the seasonal nature of the businesses the risk profile at 31 December 2019 is not representative of all risks faced during the year.
12. Financial risk management
The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair values:
- Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value as discussed below.
- Receivables and payables are short term in nature and therefore approximate fair value.
- Interest bearing liabilities re-price at least every 90 days and therefore approximate fair value.
Financial instruments of the Group that are measured in the statement of financial position at fair value are classified by level under the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within 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 (that is, unobservable inputs).
There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the period. There were no transfers of derivative financial instruments between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
Recurring fair value measurements
The following financial instruments are subject to recurring fair value measurements:
DEC 2019 | DEC 2018 | JUN 2019 | ||||
ASSETS | LIABILITIES | ASSETS | LIABILITIES | ASSETS | LIABILITIES | |
$000's | $000's | $000's | $000's | $000's | $000's | |
