Company announcement
SCOTT ANNOUNCES STRONG HALF YEAR PERFORMANCE FOR FY22
• Another period of both top and bottom-line growth as the two-year anniversary of the Scott
2025 strategy approaches.
• Year on year increases in revenue and EBITDA despite disruption from the external factors of
COVID-19, the global supply chain crisis and geopolitical unrest.
• Continuing demand for automation drove revenue up 13% to $118.4m and grew Normalised
EBITDA by 19% from $9.8m to $11.7m delivering net profit after tax of $4.7m.
• Forward work remains robust with system design and build contracts in Europe, USA, China
and Australasia and continuing growth in product and service categories.
• Dividend declared of 4.0 cents per share.
Automation and robotics solutions provider, Scott Technology Limited (NZX: SCT), has today released
its unaudited interim results for the six months to 28 February 2022 (H1 F22).
The capability of the business continues to grow as the second year of the Scott 2025 strategy nears
its close. Targeted sales prospecting has generated significant high-quality systems contracts across
Meat, Materials Handling and Appliances, while ongoing Bladestop and Rocklabs growth continues to
underpin a flourishing product category. Investment in talent and a focus on the large install base has
seen a 15% growth in service revenue.
Forward work programs in Europe, USA, China, and Australasia remained elevated as new system
design and build contracts have been awarded at a steady and deliberate rate in the first half of the
year.
Investment in the high margin product and service businesses has generated results which have
underpinned the strong first half performance of Scott. Demand continues to grow for our key product
brands of Rocklabs (the mining products and parts business) and BladeStop safety saw installations in
the meat industry. Service revenues across most key markets grew due to strategic investment in
people capability as well as deeper parts inventories. The service team has also executed several
enterprise level agreements with a number of key customers.
Scott has invested in sales and marketing capability in key markets and are beginning to see customer
prospects build as we emerge from the pandemic.
Employee safety and wellbeing continues to mature, with the launch this year of the ‘Be Safe – Be
Well – Be Scott’ program and its associated six safety expectations. This is supported by a focus on
the lead safety indicators of management conversations and reported near-misses and hazards. This
is driving greater engagement and reinforcing the commitment from employees across the Scott
Group.
Scott Technology CEO John Kippenberger, says: “We are encouraged as our regional teams continue
to execute well against our 2025 strategy in their domestic markets and despite the headwinds of
various external factors. This is evidenced by growth in both our top and bottom-line performance as
well as a solid forward work pipeline in multiple markets.”
“Our focus remains unchanged as we look to meet customer demand in our proven areas of expertise
in systems technology, products and service. With each of the regions emerging from differing degrees
of constraint caused by COVID-19, it is the strength of the Group as a whole that has delivered this
strong result.”
Results overview
1: Non trading adjustments relate to receipt of the wage subsidy
H1 F22 revenue of $118.4 m was 13% higher than the prior comparative period (pcp) as Scott’s strategy
of generating more revenue from proven systems, product and service delivers another period of
growth.
EBITDA of $12.2m grew again, to exceed the prior half year by 9% and when normalised to remove
the impact of wage subsidies received growth was 19%.
The higher revenue converted to a margin percentage only slightly down on prior half year at 22%,
despite significant inflationary pressure on labour and materials due to COVID-19 and the effects of
the global supply chain crisis.
The higher revenue also allowed better leverage of overheads, even with the targeted investment in
sales and marketing capability, which meant overheads as a percentage of revenue fell by 7%.
Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $4.7m for the six months, in line with prior comparative period as a
result of the mix of regional profits being in geographies with higher rates of income tax.
Operating ca sh flow was $ (8.8)m and net debt increased by $10.0m to $12.9m. The primary cause was
an increase in inventory of $9.7m, with $2.9m of the increase being due to revenue growth and the
remaining $6.8m increase in inventory was because of the disruption caused by the global supply chain
crisis. This required greater stock holdings to avoid stoppages in the production and parts sales of key
growth businesses such as Rocklabs and BladeStop.
In recognition of the progress made by the company, the Directors are pleased to declare an interim
(unimputed) dividend of 4.0 cents per share, payable on 11 May 2022. The Dividend Reinvestment
Plan will apply.

Global environment
The three primary global external factors which are impacting on the trading environment of Scott
are:
COVID-19:
Being in the third year of the pandemic our teams around the Scott Group are well versed on keeping
teams safe and mitigating the issues resulting from the virus. During the past six months these have
largely been in ongoing restrictions around transfer of our teams across state and country borders and
maintaining workflows through periods of high absenteeism.
The good news is we are continuing to see a return to more normal conditions as the peak of the most
recent wave passes in most parts of the world.
With the New Zealand borders starting to open up again, it is exciting to have recently had our CEO
and Director - Marketing & People travel to the USA to visit customers and spend in-person time with
our teams in America.
Supply chain crisis:
The ongoing disruption to global supply chains continues to create a moderate source of pressure on
Scott’s project, product and service supply. In particular lengthening lead times on supply of items
such as computer chips, robots, servo drives and PLC’s are causing some delays on project completion.
Our teams are working closely with our major suppliers to secure long-term component supply and
we will continue to invest in working capital to support this where required.
Supply chain issues have also seen some delays to customer infrastructure projects. Where this
involves a slowdown in customer building projects Scott then experiences a similar extension to
project timelines and commissioning. We have seen examples of delays in parts of Europe and as far
south as Australia.
We do see these impacts on project completions as largely being short to medium term as the global
supply chains start to recalibrate following the height of the pandemic.
Global geopolitical pressures:
Russia’s attack on the Ukraine has resulted in the suspension of our supply of mining products to
Russia from Rocklabs. While this business has been growing over recent years due to the growth in
Russian mining and metals production, the overall order book for Rocklabs remains very strong.
Therefore, we do not see this impact as being material on the overall Group.
At the time of the invasion Scott Europe was also in the process of building two conveying and
palletising systems for large global food companies into their Russian operations. We are in discussions
with both companies to re-purpose this equipment into other European operations.
Our team in Europe is closely managing all team travel which takes employees anywhere near to the
borders which are identified as being at risk. As always, our team safety is paramount.
As the markets open up and industrial demand for automation continues to grow, the key priority for
our team is to remain focused and committed to our core areas of proven expertise, avoiding unknown
areas of risk. This is the central underlying theme of Scott 2025.
Regional Business Updates
Scott Europe – Growth despite a longer than expected emergence from COVID-19
From loss making in the first half of F20 to 11% EBITDA in F22 the European business is continuing to
demonstrate its significance to the overall performance of Scott. Revenue grew by 9% on pcp and
EBITDA by 25% despite a heavier than anticipated COVID-19 tail across Europe.
Our European business has again delivered an important lift in business performance for the first half
as work levels build to match our production capacity – through projects including, but not limited to,
McCain and Danone. The product business of BladeStop (meat) has had revenue growth of more than
198% as our sales and go to market strategy has g enerated demand from the likes of Danish Crown,
Jarvis and Pilgrims.
Scott Europe is seeing a resurgence of appetite for its core business of Materials Handling solutions as
companies across Europe shake free from the restrictions of COVID-19 – the early signs of this
resurgence can be seen in the revenue from Materials Handling already being up 5% in the first half
of this year.
Although there was some initial disruption from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we have been able
to largely mitigate the financial impact to the business.
Scott Australasia – Strong mining products and meat systems
Strong global demand in our mining product business ( Rocklabs) has continued, to the extent the
sanctions on trade into Russia have not affected our sales run rate. Growth in our service business
continues to provide important margin generation within our Australasian business. The BladeStop
product business is also seeing steady demand due to the focus and investment applied to this
important part of our business.
Completion of large meat automation systems for Alliance (NZ) and a leading meat processor in
Australia has seen growth in profitability for our projects business. We are underway in NZ with the
multiyear build of two appliance lines for GE Appliances and our mining team is deeply embedded in
the commissioning of a large complex automated laboratory system at a new West Australian mine
site for Rio Tinto.
Demand signals for our meat business, in both products and systems, mining products business and
appliance lines continue to remain positive.

Scott China – manufacturing moves to a new larger site to provide support to the wider Group
The team in China have delivered the significant backlog of existing domestic appliance lines in the
first half of FY22.
A strategic initiative has seen the relocation of the China operation to a larger and more fit for purpose
facility so that it can provide manufacturing capacity and skills to the wider Scott group. The first
significant example is an appliance line which will, in the coming months, be delivered from China to
a global whiteware manufacturers’ site in South America.
This shared facility approach for China manufacturing results in lower margins as intercompany
transfer pricing rules are applied.
Scott North America – COVID-19 leads to a heavily disrupted marketplace and working environment
With the pandemic rampaging across most US states in the first half of the year, our American team
has seen projects delayed both by the customer and due to internal constraints on component
availability and COVID-19 related staff absenteeism. This heavily affected productivity and margins.
It is testament to the team that this has had a relatively minor impact on revenue relative to last year.
The bolstering of the leadership group in the form of new roles such as a North American President
and an After Sales Service Director has seen stability start to return to the business, as is evidenced by
Service and Parts revenue being up across all divisions by 66% on the prior half year.
O ur BladeStop safety saw business in North America continues to secure new Enterprise customers
such as leading national foodservice distributor Sysco and Fortune 500 branded food producer Hormel
Foods.
Our first chicken trussing system is installed and operating as part of the Pilgrims production line. We
anticipate this system will generate significant demand across the poultry industry.
North America remains a core market for Scott due to the significant opportunity and we will continue
to invest in capability and capacity to grow here.
Scott 2025 Strategy Update

• Leading Edge Technology: Growth in our service category across the Group, which includes several
multiyear enterprise agreements. Further growth across our Rocklabs sample preparation and
BladeStop product businesses. The first installation of an automated poultry trussing system.
• One Global Team: Launch of Safety Expectations, and continued focus on employee retention,
development, and wellness.
• Operational Excellence: Maintained margins despite significant global pressures.
• Robust Global Platforms: All open executive positions now filled with experienced leaders. P ipeline
of forward work remains strong.
Sector updates
Mining: The continuation of strong global precious metal prices and improved business confidence is
underpinning ongoing investment in mining capacity globally (West Australia, Europe, North America
and West Africa). We see this activity flowing through to our equipment, spare parts
and service business and expect this will continue to support ongoing demand for our mining parts
business, exporting to the global mining sector from our factory in Auckland, New Zealand.
Our mining laboratory design and build business will advance our reputation and strengths around the
‘semi-automated’ end of the standalone-product-to-fully-automated continuum.
Macro factors such as zero emissions, zero entry and zero harm coupled with the industry’s
growing willingness to adopt new analysis, automation, and electrification technologies are driving
change. This provides Scott with product development opportunities to expand our contribution and
footprint within the industry.
We have recently appointed a Global Director of Mining to drive further growth for Scott Mining,
based in Western Australia.
Meat: Scott continues to experience strong, ongoing demand for systems, products and service in the
meat sector off the back of high meat prices and lack of skilled labour availability.
Our primary focus remains on selling lamb systems within the ANZ region, as well as Poultry Trussing
systems in the US. Demand is strong for BladeStop globally, slaughter equipment, standalone cutting
equipment and carcass grading systems.
Scott is leveraging experience and key customer partnerships to expand our systems offerings into
beef. We anticipate this will provide the next step change in growth for our meat business.
The large lamb primal automation project at the Alliance Lorneville plant, the largest lamb processing
site in the world, has received final sign off and is now in production. This system commissioning
consistently lifts processing yields, improves safety and allows Alliance to re-focus an already short
labour supply on other areas of production.
Appliances: As consumer demand for whiteware returns to normal levels we are focused on providing
quality design options towards the premium-end of the market, while driving for competitive pricing
without exposing Scott to unacceptable risk.
Our newly relocated business in Qingdao, China, will capture both local opportunities and support
Global manufacturing from our competitive design and build platform in Qingdao, China.
Material handling and logistics: New and repeat customer opportunities continue to emerge for this
key part of Scott Europe, the centre of excellence for our materials handling business. At the same
time, we are making positive inroads into our Scott 2025 strategy of taking this technology out of
Europe and into North America and Australasia. The Alliance New Zealand contract is the first example
of this, while focus is growing on identifying and securing a large installation on this technology in the
US together with our joint venture partner Savoye.

H1 F22 RESULTS SUMMARY
•H1 F22 revenue of $118.4m was 13% higherthan the prior
comparative period (pcp) as Scott’s strategy of more revenue from
proven systems, product and service delivers another period of
growth.
•EBITDA of $12.2mgrew again, to exceed the prior half year by 9%
and when normalised to remove the impact of Wage Subsidies
received growth was 19%.
•The higher revenue converted to a Margin percentage only slightly
down on prior half year at 22%, despite significant inflationary
pressure on labour and materials due to COVID-19 and the effects of
the Global Supply Chain crisis.
•The higher revenue also allowed better leverage of Overheads, even
despite the targeted investment in sales and marketing capability,
which meant overheads as a percentage of revenue fell by 7%.
•Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $4.7m for thesix months, in line with prior
comparativeperiod as a result of the mix of regional profitsbeing in
geographies with higher rates ofincome tax.
•Operating Cash Flow was $(8.8)m and Net Debtincreased by $10.0m to
$12.9m.The primarycause was an increase in inventory of $9.7m, due
toRevenue growth and greater stock holdings toavoid stoppages in the
production and partssales of key growth businesses such
asRocklabsandBladeStop.
•In recognition of the progress made by theCompany, the Directors are
pleased to declarean interim (unimputed) dividend of 4.0 centsper
share, payable on 11 May 2022. TheDividend Reinvestment Plan will
apply.

RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR PERIOD
COMPARATIVES

For the year ended 31 August 2021, the Group redefined
its sources of revenue from contracts with customers
from Long term contracts, Standard equipment, and Short

Services to align with its 2025 strategy document.
The main impact of this reclassification is a reallocation of
revenue between the old and new categories particularly,
Standard equipment and Short term products and service
work. Comparative figures for the six month period ended
28 February 2021 included under Note 2 Revenue from
Contracts With Customers have been restated in order to

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
For the Six Months Ended 28 February 2022
The Group enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge trading transactions,
including anticipated transactions, denominated in foreign currencies.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently re-measured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is
recognised in profit or loss unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in
which event, the timing of the recognition depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.
The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the fair value of firm commitments (fair value hedge)
or as hedges of forecast future sales (cash flow hedge). Open firm commitments reflect contractual
agreements to provide goods to customers at an agreed price denominated in a foreign currency on
specified future dates.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUED
For the Six Months Ended 28 February 2022
The Group has categorised these derivatives, both financial assets and financial liabilities, as Level
2 under the fair value hierarchy contained within NZ IFRS-13. The fair value of foreign currency
forward exchange contracts is determined using a discounted cashflow valuation. Key inputs include
observable forward exchange rates, at the measurement date, with the resulting value discounted
back to present values. There have been no changes in valuation techniques used for foreign
currency forward exchange contracts during the current reporting period. There were no transfers
between fair value hierarchy levels during either the current or prior periods. The fair value of
financial instruments not already measured at fair value approximates their carrying value. The fair
value of foreign exchange contracts outstanding is recognised as other financial assets/liabilities.

HALF YEAR RESULTS 2022
COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the global economy. As a global organisation with
operations in multiple jurisdictions, the Group has been impacted in numerous ways and continues to
assess the impact on the Group on a regular basis.
The Group took fast and decisive action to protect the health and safety of the employees and the
financial integrity of the Group in 2020 and 2021. As the situation has evolved, further action taken
during the period has included:
• Putting the health and wellbeing of all employees and their families first. This continues to be the
priority,
• Following all Government regulations, including limiting access to sites,
• Enabling employees to work from home where required, possible and viable,
• Accessing available Government support for employees and each of our regional business across the
globe, and
• As supply chains have continued to be impacted, Scott has worked closely with our major suppliers
to secure long-term inventory supply and we will continue to invest in working capital to support this
where required.
The Group has sufficient headroom in its current banking facilities to ensure it continues to have access
to sufficient debt facilities for future needs.
While COVID-19 continues to provide uncertainties to the operations of the Group, the measures taken,
together with the strategy for future years, have resulted in a much improved underlying performance
for the period and balance sheet resilience.
The Board believes that the actions taken by the Group, along with the on-going support of ANZ Bank
and its majority shareholder JBS, will ensure Scott continues to be in a good position to manage the
on-going impacts from COVID-19.
