• Consistent with our market guidance in September 2021, the Group has achieved an EBIT of $3.0m (-76%)

on a revenue of $116.9m (0%), and NPAT of $0.4m (-94%)

• One-off Covid-19 restrictions and ongoing global shipping disruption impacted profitability in New Zealand.

• Ongoing supply chain disruption and emerging inflationary pressures are expected to continue however

they will continue to be addressed through pricing strategies.

• Retrofit achieved another year of growth as the business continues to focus on diversification of products

and customers

• Steady double-glazing sales growth in Australia was supported by solid operational performance however

prolonged and dynamic Covid-19 restrictions impacted profitability

• Net debt reduced to $47.8m, down $3.2m from 12 months ago

Metro Performance Glass (NZX.MPG, ASX.MPP, Metroglass) today released interim results for the 2022 financial year,

achieving revenue growth in Australia in a difficult market and a continued focus to diversity product and customer mix

in New Zealand. As announced in September 2021, profitability has been significantly impacted by extensive Covid-19

restrictions and international supply chain costs in the half. As a result, the board took the prudent decision to not

consider a dividend alongside the 2022 interim results.

Group revenue for the six months to 30 September 2021 (1H22) of $116.9m was in line with the prior year. New Zealand

revenue declined 1% to $87.9m as Covid-19 restrictions impeded trading at the end of the half. In contrast, Australian

revenue rose 4% to $29.0m. Group EBIT (before significant items) for the half year was $3.0m, down from $12.8m in

1H21 and net profit after tax (NPAT) in 1H22 was $0.4m, down from $7.6m in 1H21.

New Zealand performance

During the initial four months the business achieved solid sales demand and a strong future order book. Efforts to diversify

the product and customer mix delivered results, however this was overshadowed by Covid-19 lockdowns and ongoing

supply chain disruptions.

In the first half of the year, New Zealand revenue declined 1% to $87.9m, with the residential and commercial segments

impacted by Alert Level 4 lockdown in a typically busy period. Retrofit maintained its momentum despite Covid-19

restrictions, growing sales by 17% as customers continued to upgrade their properties.

New Zealand EBIT was 70% lower than last year at $4.1 million, principally driven by the Covid-19 lockdown and the global

supply chain imbalances that introduced a rapid spike in input costs. The lower wage subsidy compared with the prior

comparable period was not sufficient to offset the impact of August and September 2021 lockdown, which were of a

similar scale to April 2020 in terms of business impact.

Metroglass CEO Simon Mander said “The Group has been confronted with significant short-term challenges in the half.

Throughout, our teams have rallied together to deal with the disruptions of international shipping and prolonged Covid-

19 restrictions that have had material implications for the Group.”

Australian performance

Australian Glass Group’s (AGG) revenue grew 4% in 1H22 versus the prior comparable six-month period, including 7%

growth in the key double-glazing products.

Metroglass’ key south east Australian markets have remained strong, however state-by-state Covid-19 shutdowns and

restrictions have hampered momentum. AGG’s three processing plants have largely remained operational throughout

the first half, however disruptions to supply chains and people availability have impacted profitability and is reflected in

an EBIT loss of ($0.7m), down from an $0.4 EBIT in 1H21.

“The Covid-19 related restrictions have been in place for a significantly longer period compared with New Zealand.

Despite this environment, our teams continue to execute well against our turnaround plan to improve AGG’s operational

and financial performance. Our key markets have remained strong, and the business remains on a positive trajectory

supported by consistent operational performance and positive customer feedback.”

Net debt and capital expenditure

The business maintained a net debt position similar to 31 March 2021, despite Covid-19 related impacts in the first half.

In recognition of the one-off financial impacts of the Covid-19 lockdowns, a covenant relief extension was agreed with

the banking syndicate. Net debt declined by $3.2m year on year to $47.8m.

To ensure security of supply in an uncertain shipping environment, Metroglass has increased its safety stock levels for

our most critical core glass components.

Our capital programme of $7.3 million is weighted to the first half and is focused on improving processing capability,

capacity, and quality.

Market conditions and outlook

Mr Mander said “As the New Zealand and Australian Governments continue to rollout their vaccination programmes and

the reopening of the economy, we expect this will provide certainty and a supportive environment for the construction

sector.

“In New Zealand, glass demand has remained strong with year-on-year growth in the forward books for both the Retrofit

and commercial glazing segments. Residential consenting activity continues to track at record levels despite the

pandemic, creating a solid and elongated pipeline of work due to construction industry capacity constraints.

“While parts of the construction sector continue to be challenged by short-term building product shortages, we believe

that this will improve over the near to medium term. The international shipping environment and inflation have created

significant cost pressures impacting gross profit. We expect this environment to remain for at least the next 12 months.

Prices increases to offset the rapid spike continue to be introduced, however there is a lag from a timing perspective.

“In Australia we are seeing early signs of a snap back in demand in NSW and Victoria as the respective States reduce

Covid-19 restrictions. We continue to prepare the business for changes to the National Construction Code, educating the

market on double-glazing and remaining a strong proposition in the market.

“As the disruptions dissipate, we are confident that activity levels in both New Zealand and Australia will return to

previous levels for at least the remainder of the financial year. We also expect to run a shorter Christmas shutdown than

last year as the sector looks to recoup lost time in August and September.

“We do however remain very aware of the potential risks to our business from another Covid-19 event and will continue

to monitor the environment and adapt as required. We anticipate providing guidance on expected results for the 2022

financial year alongside a trading update in February 2022.” /ends

Recent events in Australia and
New Zealand have reminded us, yet

again, that the future is uncertain.

It seems just a short time since our

AGM, where we were hoping for a

financial year increasingly free of

the pandemic and were predicting

a return to dividend payments,

as our debt levels declined.

The situation changed very rapidly, and

the company was confronted with a

range of Covid-19-related restrictions

and international supply chain disruptions

for a significant portion of the first half

of the 2022 financial year. Consequently,

Metroglass has not achieved the profit

and cash flow goals we had set out for

the half-year period.

During the initial four months the business

performed well, with solid sales demand

and a strong future order book.

Our New Zealand business had diversified

the weighting across its product mix

and broadened the customer base in the

Residential segment. The new revenues

generated were partially offsetting

the impact of competitive pressures in

the North Island. We continued to see

sustained sales momentum in our Retrofit

segment, and process improvements in

the commercial glazing unit were reflected

in our consistent project execution and

encouraging growth in our forward book.

On 17 August Metroglass closed all four

processing plants in New Zealand as the

country moved to Alert Level 4 lockdown.

Three of our plants were able to resume

operations 14 days later. However,

our largest facility, in Auckland, remained

closed for a total of 35 days. The loss of

sales revenue, limited distribution capability

and reduced manufacturing capacity had

a material impact on our results.

With last year’s experience to draw on, the

Metroglass team were able to react swiftly,

focusing on the safety and wellbeing of

our people, maintaining connections with our

customers and preparing for the resumption

of operations once alert levels allowed.

We were eligible for the first two rounds of

the New Zealand Government’s wage subsidy,

receiving $2.2 million. As we had done in the

previous lockdowns, we continued to pay our

people in full. We took a number of other

short-term steps to minimise the financial

impact on the business including discussions

with our landlords. We also ensured our

banking syndicate were fully cognisant of the

consequences of the lockdown period.

At Australian Glass Group (AGG), who has

experienced an even more prolonged Covid-19

outbreak, all three processing plants have

fortunately managed to remain operational.

This has allowed the business to achieve steady

sales revenues. It is clear, however, that the

state-by-state Covid-19 restrictions have

caused a continuous series of disruptions on

construction sites and to supply chains, and

reduced labour availability. Difficulties with

timely customer delivery and cost impacts

have decreased AGG’s profitability.

Despite this, AGG is continuing to achieve

consistent growth in its double-glazing

markets that are at the core of our strategy

in Australia. The long-awaited National

Construction Code changes supporting the

adoption of double glazing are anticipated in

the pandemic. As we saw from last year’s
experience, customer demand remained

strong, and the construction sector was

able to rebound promptly. However, supply

chain difficulties and the consequent increased

costs will be with us for some time to come.

The group continues to closely monitor

changes in Covid-19 restrictions in both

countries while retaining our commitment

to deliver on our strategic objectives:

1) To maintain our leadership position and

refine our sales mix to take advantage

of opportunities in an increasingly

competitive New Zealand market

2) To grow and improve the profitability of

our Australian business and benefit from

increasing demand for double glazing

3) To ensure our balance sheet remains

strong and sufficient to cope with

future risks and opportunities.

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank

Metroglass’ employees for their dedication and

commitment during a very challenging period.

CHAIR

the 2022 and 2023 calendar years. We are well

positioned with a strong service offering and

product suite to benefit from the expected

increase in demand.

For the first half of the 2022 financial year

the Group had sales revenue of $116.9 million

and achieved an EBIT

1

of $3.0 million. This is

our second year with Covid-19 disruptions.

Metroglass had similar revenue in the prior

comparable period, which also included an

Alert Level 4 lockdown. However, the EBIT

result was reduced by higher glass and freight

costs, a lower wage subsidy contribution, and

the prolonged Covid-19 disruptions in Australia.

Price increases were implemented in both

countries to reflect these changes in costs.

Our historic focus on applying our cash flow

towards reducing debt placed Metroglass in

a strong position to cope with the immediate

impacts of the recent Covid-19 outbreaks.

We agreed with the banks to extend the timing

of covenant relief in recognition of the short-

term impacts of Covid-19. As at 30 September

2021 net debt was $47.8 million, and at a similar

level to 31 March 2021.

As a result of the impact on Metroglass’

financials, the board took the prudent decision

to not consider a dividend alongside the 2022

interim results. We understand that this is

disappointing for shareholders. It remains the

board’s intention to return to a conservative

and sustainable dividend policy as soon as

business conditions allow.

It is clear that the level of uncertainty has

greatly increased since the emergence of the

Delta strain of Covid-19 in New Zealand and

Australia. At the time of writing, changes to

the manner in which the pandemic is to be

managed in New Zealand are being announced.

Also, various Australian states have strongly

mandated vaccines for all people in the

construction industry. As vaccination levels

increase in both New Zealand and Australia,

we expect this will create a more certain

business environment for Metroglass.

Residential dwelling consents in New Zealand

and approvals in Australia continue to

support a material pipeline of work despite

Simon Mander
CEO

The ongoing Covid-19 supply chain

disruptions have had a substantial

impact on the profitability of the

business compared to the same

period last year. Both New Zealand

and our key markets in Australia

have experienced significant

disruption due to Covid-19

restrictions. The well-documented

global supply chain imbalances have

introduced industry-wide material

shortages, further adding to the

Covid-19 restrictions and a rapid

spike in input costs.

This six-month period has not been without

its challenges. Throughout, our teams have

rallied together to deal with the disruptions

of international shipping and prolonged

Covid-19 restrictions that have had severe

implications for the group.

From 17 August, three of Metroglass’ four

New Zealand glass-processing plants closed

operations for 14 days. The fourth, and our

largest plant based in Auckland, remained

closed for a total of 35 days in a typically

very busy and highly profitable period for

the company.

Our number one priority is the safety and

wellbeing of our people. Restrictions have

differed across New Zealand and Australia with

many of our teams dislodged from their normal

working environment for long periods. We know

our teams are doing it tough and in the last

few months we have introduced a series of

initiatives aimed at supporting their mental

wellbeing. As we restarted our operations

following the lockdown in New Zealand, we

have robust Covid-19 safety protocols in

place to ensure that everyone at work is safe.

Our people have continued to show the same

commitment, resilience and dedication to

deliver the high level of service performance

and communication for our customers. It’s

clear that vaccination will play a key role in

reducing the risk of further disruption in both

countries. For Metroglass, vaccination rates

are trending in the right direction.

Our customers

In May 2021 we conducted the fifth of our

six-monthly customer surveys, an important

barometer of our offering and relationships

with our customers. Our New Zealand business

Chief Executive

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REVIEW

achieved its highest results in the last two
surveys (7.8/10 in May 2021

2

) and our Australian

results remained strong despite operating

challenges imposed by the protracted Covid-19

restrictions (7.9/10 in May 2021

2

).

It is these deep and collaborative relationships

that differentiate us. We aim to connect

initiatives that solve our customer-specific

problems and blend them with our service

offering. Later this year we will launch a new

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

system. This improved tool will enable our

teams, wherever they are in the business,

to connect better with our customers’ needs.

Our customer-focused initiatives are central

to our strategy and while there will always

be more to do, we are encouraged by the

positive engagement from our customer base.

This recognition continues to ripple through

the market as we onboard new customers.

Investing in our capability

We are laser focused on our long-term

strategy, to remain the New Zealand market

leader in glass solutions, and to deliver a

profitable turnaround of Australian Glass

Group (AGG) positioned for growth as the

adoption of double glazing increases.

The success of our business over the long

term is underpinned by developing our

people and strengthening their capabilities.

We are pleased to have made some positive

internal promotions and created further

opportunities for our people to upskill through

our apprenticeship programme. We currently

have 82 apprentices enrolled and 4 qualifying

in the 6 months to 30 September 2021.

This financial year, we are significantly

increasing our capital expenditure investment

with a number of strategic installations

across our networks. In New Zealand, we are

improving capability and unlocking capacity in

our manufacturing processes in edgework,

shaping and lamination. In both New Zealand

and Australia, we are also rolling out a

prioritised replacement of programmable

logic controllers (PLCs) to ensure our systems

are up to date and secure. We are enhancing

our quality performance through targeted

furnace upgrades, and improving our double-

glaze sealing capability. This equipment

is to be installed during our Christmas

shutdown period with benefits to be seen

almost immediately.

Our financial highlights

Overall, the group’s financial results

reflect the severe effects of the lockdowns

in New Zealand and the extended period of

restrictions in Australia.

Group revenue of $116.9 million was in line

with the same six-month period last year,

but group EBIT

declined 76% to $3.0 million.

Reported NPAT

declined 94% to $0.4 million.

In New Zealand, our efforts to rebalance

our product and customer portfolio have

continued to deliver solid results with

revenue of $87.9 million, down 1% on the

prior year despite lockdowns and disruptions

in a competitive market. However, increased

costs of float glass and a lower wage subsidy

resulted in an EBIT of $4.1 million, declining 70%.

AGG has successfully navigated the varying
levels of restrictions, largely maintaining

operations throughout the period. AGG’s

revenue grew 4% to $29.0 million buoyed by

double-glazed sales momentum, growing a

further 7% versus the same six-month period

last year. Increases in float glass costs and

factory labour resulted in an EBIT loss of

$0.7 million. This was down from the positive

$0.4 million EBIT achieved in the prior period.

EBIT

$4.1M

-70%

Total revenue in New Zealand was 1%,

or $1.3 million, lower than the prior year

primarily as a result of the Alert Level 4

lockdown occurring in a typically busy period.

Our direct-to-customer business Retrofit

continued the momentum of the prior year,

partially offsetting the loss of sales in

the window manufacturer and commercial

glazing segments.

Revenue from the residential segment

declined by 3% to $57.1 million, as the

Covid-19 lockdown restrictions halted new

residential construction activity and the

expected annualised impact of competitive

market share shifts were realised. Since the

start of the financial year market share has

stabilised. We continue to make solid progress

in our strategy to balance the product and

customer mix to offset the competitive

dynamics of the segment.

Our commercial glazing segment was unable

to execute on projects during the lockdown

period and as a result, revenue declined

by 8% to $16.6 million. While these delays

create ongoing disruptions, we are pleased

that there have been no significant project

cancellations, and intentions to proceed with

projects are positive. Metroglass’ commercial

glazing forward book was 7% higher than it

was on 30 September 2020.

Revenue from the Retrofit double-glazing

segment increased 17% to $14.1 million despite

the lockdown. We are finding that homeowners

are continuing to investigate and research

how they can create a warmer, dryer and

healthier home. Double glazing becomes the

obvious choice, and more often customers are

choosing the benefits achieved from our high-

performance Low E double glazing. Our forward

book of work continues to grow and is 29%
higher than it was on 30 September 2020.

New Zealand’s EBIT of $4.1 million was 68%

below last year’s. The lower wage subsidy

compared with the prior comparable period

had a significant impact. Despite qualifying

and receiving $2.2 million in wage subsidy,

this was not sufficient to offset the impact

of August and September 2021 lockdowns,

which were of a similar scale to April 2020

in terms of business impact.

The increased supply chain costs were severe

and had an immediate effect on gross profit

with a limited ability to offset from a timing

perspective in a competitive market. We have

introduced price increases to the market to

offset this, with the next round of increases

scheduled for December 2021. Efforts to

rebalance our product and customer mix

have allowed us to largely offset the entry

of additional glass-processing capacity in

the North Island.

AGG continued to deliver solid sales

been stretched by state-by-state Covid-19

shutdowns and restrictions. While our three

processing plants have largely remained

operational throughout the first half,

disruptions to the supply chain and people

availability have impacted profitability.

AGG’s revenue grew 4% to $29.0 million as

sales in the key double-glazing segment grew

a further 7% versus the same 6-month period

last year.

Markets in all states have remained strong

despite Covid-19, with most of the short-term

impacts concentrated in New South Wales and

Victoria. There has fortunately been limited

Covid-19 impact on the Tasmanian business.

AGG’s EBIT in the half year declined from

a positive $0.4 million in the prior period

to a $0.7 million loss reflecting the impact

of Covid-19 disruptions on supply chains

and labour. In August, price increases

were successfully introduced to offset

the increases in float glass costs heading

AGG’s continued success in growing its double-
glazed unit sales illustrates the opportunity

the increasing penetration of these products

presents, particularly as National Building Code

changes come into effect in calendar years

2022 and 2023.

Our balance sheet and cash flows

Over the last 12 months, Metroglass has

reduced group net debt by $3.2 million

compared with same period last year, to

$47.8 million. The business maintained a

net debt position that is consistent with

31 March 2021, despite Covid-19 related

impacts in the first half.

We have increased our safety stock levels for

our most critical core glass components to

ensure sufficient contingency in an uncertain

shipping environment. The 30 September 2021

balance has been impacted by an increase in

glass inventory also, due to the reduction in

throughput late in the first half as a result

of the Covid-19 lockdown.

Our capital programme of $7.3 million is

weighted to the first half and is focused

on improving processing capability, capacity

and quality.

Market conditions and outlook

New Zealand residential consents are

continuing to track at record levels despite

the pandemic, creating a solid and elongated

pipeline of work due to construction industry

capacity constraints. Glass demand remains

strong with forward books for both the

Retrofit and commercial glazing segments

higher than at the same point last year.

While parts of the construction sector

continue to be challenged by short-term

building product shortages, we believe that

this will improve over the near to medium term.

The international shipping environment has

created significant cost pressures impacting

gross profit. We expect this disruptive shipping

situation to remain for at least the next six

months. Price increases to offset the rapid

spike continue to be introduced; however,

there is a lag from a timing perspective.

As the disruptions dissipate, we are confident

that activity levels in both New Zealand and

Australia will return to previous levels for

at least the remainder of the financial year.

We also expect to run a shorter Christmas

shutdown than last year as the sector looks

to recoup lost time experienced during

August and September.

In Australia we are seeing early signs of a

snap back in demand in NSW and Victoria

as the respective states reduce Covid-19

restrictions. We continue to prepare the

business for changes to the National

Construction Code, educating the market

on double glazing and remaining a strong

proposition in the market.

While solid gains have been achieved

by Metroglass to diversify its product

and customer mix, we remain in a highly

competitive market. Our market share in

the critical window fabricator segment has

been stable since the start of the financial

year and we remain focused on quality and

service delivery to maintain that position.

As the New Zealand and Australian

Governments continue to roll out their

vaccination programmes and the reopening

of their economies, we expect this will provide

certainty and a supportive environment for

the construction sector.

We do, however, remain very aware of the

potential risks to our business from another

Covid-19 event and will continue to monitor

the environment and adapt as required.

At this stage we will not be providing formal

guidance with our next update to the market

in February 2022.

Finally, I would like to take the opportunity

to thank all of our teams across the group,

as well as our suppliers and shareholders,

for their continued support and efforts

as we navigate these challenging times.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED)

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Reporting entity

These consolidated interim financial

statements are for Metro Performance Glass

Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries

(together, ‘the Group’). The Group supplies

processed flat glass and related products

primarily to the residential and commercial

building sectors. The Company is a for-profit

entity for financial reporting purposes and

has operations and sales in New Zealand

and Australia.

Statutory base

The Company is a limited liability company

incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand.

The address of its registered office is

5 Lady Fisher Place, East Tamaki, Auckland.

The incorporation date for Metro Performance

Glass Limited was 30 May 2014 and as part

of a group reorganisation was listed on the

New Zealand Securities Exchange (NZSX)

on 29 July 2014.

The comparative trading results presented

encompass the six-month period from

1 April 2020 to 30 September 2020.

Basis of preparation

These consolidated interim financial statements

have been approved for issue by the Board of

Directors on 22 November 2021.

The Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated

interim financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand

Generally Accepted Accounting Practice

(NZ GAAP). They comply with the requirements

of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34

Interim Financial Reporting and with

New Zealand Equivalent to International

Accounting Standard (NZ IAS) 34

Interim

Financial Reporting

.

The consolidated interim financial statements

are unaudited. In previous years, the Group’s

auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), has

issued an independent review report on the

consolidated interim financial statements.

This review is voluntary, as it is not required by

the NZX Main Board Listing Rules. The board

recently reconsidered the assurance and

commercial merits of having the consolidated

interim financial statements reviewed and

concluded that these additional processes

are no longer necessary. The benefits of

the review have reduced as the Company’s

financial reporting systems and processes

have matured, and the level of complexity in

the consolidated interim financial statements

has reduced.

These consolidated interim financial

statements are presented in New Zealand

dollars and rounded to the nearest thousand.

These condensed financial statements do not

include all the information required for full

financial statements, and consequently should

be read in conjunction with the full financial

statements of the Group for the year ended

31 March 2021. The same accounting policies,

presentation and methods of computation

have been followed in these condensed

financial statements as were applied in the

preparation of the Group’s audited financial

statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Metro Performance Glass Limited is a limited

liability company registered under the New

Zealand Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial

Markets Conduct reporting entity under Part 7

of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The

financial statements of the Group have been

prepared in accordance with the requirements

of the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.

The Group’s revenue and profitability follow

a seasonal pattern with lower sales and

net profits typically achieved in the second

half of the financial year as a result of

lower sales generated during the Christmas

shutdown period.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements continued
(UNAUDITED)

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Historical cost convention

The consolidated interim financial statements

have been prepared under the historical cost

convention, as modified by the revaluation

of financial assets and financial liabilities

at fair value.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated interim financial statements

incorporate the assets and liabilities of all

subsidiaries of Metro Performance Glass

Limited (‘the company’ or ‘the parent entity’)

as at 30 September 2021 and the results of

all subsidiaries for the period then ended.

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the

Group has control. A subsidiary is a controlled

entity of Metro Performance Glass if Metro

Performance Glass is exposed and has a

right to variable returns from the entity

and is able to use its power over the entity

to affect those returns. Subsidiaries are

fully consolidated from the date on which

control is transferred to the Group. They

are de-consolidated from the date that

control ceases.

Intercompany transactions, balances

and unrealised gains on transactions

between Group companies are eliminated.

Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless

the transaction provided evidence of the

impairment of the asset transferred.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The consolidated interim financial statements

are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is

Metro Performance Glass Limited’s functional

and presentation currency.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated

using the exchange rates prevailing at the

dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange

gains and losses resulting from the settlement

of such transactions and from the translation

at period end exchange rates of monetary

assets and liabilities denominated in foreign

currencies are recognised in profit and loss.

They are deferred in equity if they relate to

qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net

investment hedges or are attributable to part

of the net investment in a foreign operation.

The results and financial position of foreign

operations that have a functional currency

different from the presentation currency

are translated into the presentation currency

as follows:

• assets and liabilities for each balance sheet

presented are translated at the closing

rate at the date of that balance sheet;

• income and expenses for each statement

of profit or loss and statement of

comprehensive income are translated at

average exchange rates (unless this is

not a reasonable approximation of the

cumulative effect of the rates prevailing

on the transaction dates, in which case

income and expenses are translated at

the dates of the transactions); and

• all resulting exchange differences are

recognised in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements continued
(UNAUDITED)

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION (continued)

Goods and Services Tax (GST)

The consolidated interim statement of

comprehensive income has been prepared

so that all components are stated exclusive

of GST. All items in the consolidated interim

statement of financial position are stated

net of GST, with the exception of receivables

and payables, which include GST invoiced.

Standards, Amendments and

Interpretations to Existing Standards

that are not yet Effective

There are no published new or amended

standards or interpretations that become

effective on or after 1 October 2021 that

would have a material impact on the Group’s

consolidated interim financial statements.

Future Change in Intangible Assets

Accounting Policy

In March 2021, the IFRS Interpretations

Committee (Committee), which is responsible

for interpreting the application of IFRS, issued

an agenda decision that the cost incurred in

configuring and customising software provided

under software as a service arrangement

(SaaS) must be expensed, unless they:

• create an intangible asset, separate

from the software, that the customer

controls; or

• are paid to the supplier of the cloud-based

software for significant customisation

work, in which case the costs are

recorded as a prepayment for services

and amortised over the expected term

of the SaaS arrangement.

The Committee’s agenda decision was ratified

by the International Accounting Standards

Board in April 2021.

Compliance with the Committee’s decision

necessitates a change to the Group’s

intangible assets accounting policy, as to

date the Group has recognised such costs

as intangible assets. Making this change may

require a retrospective restatement of prior

period financial statements in the year in which

the revised accounting policy is adopted. To

implement this change, the Group is currently

examining all historically capitalised software

configuration and customisation costs relating

to SaaS arrangements to identify the level

of restatement required, with full compliance

reflected in the 31 March 2022 annual

consolidated financial statements.

The value of capitalised costs being reviewed is

between $1.5 million and $2.0 million, and while

the financial impact of the revised accounting

policy is still being quantified, it is unlikely to

be significant for financial reporting purposes.

The change would reduce intangible assets and

associated amortisation, increase operating

expenses and reclassify the relevant spend

from an investing to an operating cash flow.

The change may also result in the recognition

of prepayments.

2 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Segment information

Operating segments of the Group at

30 September 2021 have been determined

based on financial information that is

regularly reviewed by the board in conjunction

with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief

Financial Officer, collectively known as the

Chief Operating Decision-Maker for the

purpose of allocating resources, assessing

performance and making strategic decisions.

Substantially all of the Group’s revenue is

derived from the sale of glass and related

products and services. This revenue is

split by channel only at the revenue level

into Commercial, Residential and Retrofit.

Commercial revenue reflects sales through

four specific commercial glazing operations in

New Zealand. The allocation of sales between

residential and commercial can be difficult as

the Group does not always know the end-use

application. Following the acquisition of AGG

on 1 September 2016, the Group operates

in two geographic segments, New Zealand

and Australia.

Group costs consist of insurance, professional

services, director fees and expenses, listing

fees and share incentive scheme costs.

3 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the six months ended 30 September

2021, the Group acquired assets with a

total cost of $7.2 million (September 2020:

$1.6 million) and disposed of assets with a

total book value of $0.1 million (September

2020: $2.4 million). There have been no

material changes in the estimated useful

life of key items of plant and machinery.

The depreciation expense for the six

months ended 30 September 2021 was

$5.1million (September 2020: $5.57 million).

4 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest rate swaps and forward

exchange contracts

These financial instruments were measured

at fair value based on valuations provided by

Westpac Banking Corporation and ASB Bank

Limited. All significant inputs were based on

observable market data and accordingly have

been categorised as level 2. At balance date,

the fair value of interest rate swaps are

$1.0 million liability (March 2021: $1.6 million

liability) and the fair value of forward exchange

contracts are $0.5 million asset (March 2021:

$0.2 million liability).

The movements in fair value are disclosed in

cash flow hedges (net of tax) through other

comprehensive income, with a gain recognised

on forward exchange contracts of $0.5 million

(30 September 2020: $1.6 million loss) and

income of $0.4 million (30 September 2020:

$0.06 million gain) on interest rate swaps.

5 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Group tests intangible assets for

impairment to ensure they are not carried

at above their recoverable amounts:

• at least annually for goodwill with indefinite

lives; and

• where there is an indication that the assets

may be impaired (which is assessed at least

at each reporting date).

Impairment tests using value-in-use

calculations of the Australian cash-generating

unit (CGU) and New Zealand CGU were

performed at 31 March 2021 as part of the

annual tests. Goodwill and intangible assets

were reviewed at 30 September 2021, with no

indicators of impairment noted and no changes

made to the estimated recoverable amount of

goodwill or the estimated useful life of other

intangibles. The amortisation expense for the

six months ended 30 September 2021 was

$1.3 million (September 2020: $1.4 million).

8 COVID-19

The global pandemic in relation to Covid-19

was declared by the World Health Organization

on 11 March 2020. An outbreak of the Delta

variant in New Zealand during August 2021, and

the subsequent Alert Level 4 and 3 lockdowns

imposed by the New Zealand Government, had

a significant impact on the Group’s second-

quarter performance, particularly as the

New Zealand operations were deemed non-

essential and as result were closed under Alert

Level 4 conditions. The New Zealand operations

have been able to operate at the other alert

levels. The Group’s Australian business has

continued to operate during the period, albeit

with a number of restrictions on the efficiency

of the operation. The Group was eligible for

and received $2.2 million in relation to the

New Zealand Government’s wage subsidy,

which has been recognised in other income

in the consolidated interim statement of

comprehensive income (30 September 2021:

$6.1 million).

During the Alert Level 4 lockdown, the Group

negotiated with its landlords to obtain rent

relief on various properties. The Group adopted

the NZ IFRS 16 Leases practical expedient

in relation to rent concessions, and as such,

the relief obtained from these is reflected

through a reduction in lease liabilities with a

corresponding expense reduction recognised

in the consolidated interim statement of

comprehensive income of $0.1 million.

•Increased holdings in glass inventory due to supply chain disruption and the

impact of Level 4 restrictions was offset by a reduction in trade receivables

in NZ due to the impact of Level 4 restrictions late in the reporting period

•Net operating cashflow flows lower than last year driven by impact of Covid-

19 restrictions and increases in material costs negatively impacting EBITDA

•Net debt decreased by $3.2m year on year and remained stable over the

past six months despite Covid-19 impacts

•Group gearing

decreased from 38.3% at 30 September 2020 to 36.4%

at 30 September 2021

•The Company’s net debt to EBITDA (pre-IFRS 16) ratio increased year

on year from 1.5x to 2.8x

Gearing:netdebt/ (netdebt+ equity).

Net debt includes net bank debt of $44.7 million and other interest-bearing liabilities of $3.1 million which

primary relates to the sale and leaseback of certain vehicles in New Zealand.

•As the New Zealand and Australian Governments continue to rollout their vaccination programmes and the
reopening of the economy, we expect this will provide certainty and a supportive environment for the

construction sector

•Residential consenting activity continues to track at record levels despite the pandemic, creating a solid and

elongated pipeline of work due to construction industry capacity constraints. Glass demand remains strong

with forward books for both the Retrofit and commercial glazing segments higher than the same point last

y e a r.

•As the disruptions dissipate, we are confident that activity levels in both New Zealand and Australia will

return to previous levels. We also expect to run a shorter Christmas shutdown than last year as the sector

looks to recoup lost work in August and September.

•The international shipping environment and inflation have created significant cost pressures impacting

gross profit. We expect this environment to remain for at least the next 12 months. Prices increases to

offset the rapid spike in costs continue to be introduced, however there is a lag from a timing perspective.

•In Australia we are seeing early signs of a snap back in demand in New South Wales and Victoria as Covid-

19 restrictions reduce. We continue to prepare the business for changes to the National Construction Code,

educating the market on benefits of double-glazing and remaining a strong proposition in the market.

•Given the significant level of disruption the construction industry is facing, we anticipate providing

guidance on expected FY22 results alongside a trading update in February 2022

13

Outlook for FY22

Build resilience and
defend Metroglass’

leadership position

Further improve our

positive trajectory in

Australia, and benefit

from growing demand for

double-glazing

To ensure our balance

sheet remains strong

and sufficient to cope

with future risks and

opportunities

Our strategy and focus remains unchanged
