INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS for the 6 months ended 31 March 2022


Sanford Interim Results Boosted by International Post-Covid Recovery

Sanford Limited (NZX: SAN) has reported a solid recovery in the first half of its 2022 financial

year, with Adjusted (underlying) Earnings Before Interest and Tax (Adjusted EBIT) of $19.2

million for the six months to 31 March. This represents a 79.4% increase on Adjusted EBIT

from the same period last year ($10.7 million). Total revenue was $270.9 million for the

period, a 16.0% increase on the same period in 2021 ($233.5 million).

Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) for the period was $6.1 million, 55.5% behind last year’s

interim result of $13.8 million

1

which included a one-off gain of $13.4 million from the sale of

non-core property.

Sanford is New Zealand’s largest and oldest seafood company and has a diverse range of

interests across fishing and aquaculture.

Key highlights from the first half of the 2022 financial year include:

• The profit contribution from Sanford’s wildcatch division is up 108.4% versus the prior

comparable period, driven by a significant lift in global demand for whitefish

• Maintenance of salmon profitability through increasing revenues by 35.9% to

compensate for additional cost in feed, freight and some increased investment to

minimise a minor increase in mortality due to warmer water temperatures

• Sanford’s balance sheet is strong, with net debt at $175.6 million and around $90

million in headroom with current banking facilities

• Significantly improved operating cashflows of $35.8 million versus $4.5 million for the

same period last year

CEO Peter Reidie says the result is pleasing, although challenges continue on the domestic

front.

“The uplift in EBIT and revenue is satisfying and we are pleased we have been in a good

position to take advantage of the post-Covid recovery in many of our international markets.

Now the challenges we face have shifted from demand to supply, with Covid-19 continuing to

Interim Report.



make its presence felt in New Zealand. This is impacting our operations, particularly in

processing where reduced staff availability has impacted productivity and increased costs.

“The good news is that our plans to minimise the impact on fishing, farming and production are

paying off. We have a 100% vaccinated workforce and we are using Rapid Antigen Testing at

the majority of sites, including before entry to our vessels.”

Divisional Highlights

Wildcatch Performs Strongly

Sanford’s wildcatch division has performed well and demand is strong in this seafood category.

Sales volumes however have been depressed by supply availability, with the squid season

starting somewhat later than usual.

Improved margins for species such as hoki, scampi and toothfish have driven a lift in

profitability for this division.

Looking forward, Sanford anticipates continuing, short term Covid-19 impacts on crewing and

processing which it is managing thorough testing, staff attentiveness and policies and

procedures.

Mussels Stable, Labour Shortage Impacts Processing

Sanford’s mussel division is seeing strong signs of demand recovery and its profit contribution

was stable compared to the first half of 2021, but improvement is hampered by a processing

bottleneck caused by domestic labour shortages.

Mr Reidie says “we face serious production constraints in both our Havelock processing facility

and in our joint venture operations with North Island Mussels Limited in Tauranga, despite

sustained attempts to recruit more workers to these areas. There simply aren’t enough work-

ready New Zealanders available to fill all the positions we have.”

Salmon Solid, Risks Well Managed

The profit contribution from salmon was flat versus the prior comparable period, but revenue

was up 35.9% with strong demand internationally.

CEO Peter Reidie says “we are fortunate to farm our prized salmon in Stewart Island waters,

where risks from warmer temperatures are reduced and are also being well managed by our

farming team. Reduced stocking densities alongside aeration and oxygenation technologies

have shown their value during the last six months, keeping seasonal mortalities across all fish

at 3.5% from January to March.”

People, Supply Chain and Outlook

Sanford has recorded stable personnel engagement rates in its recent survey of 7.5/10, which

Mr Reidie describes as pleasing. “Our people have had to work very hard over the last two

years, responding to the Covid pandemic and we are pleased they are generally in good spirits,

despite the challenges.”



The company reports few current concerns about supply chain impacts, thanks in large part to

its relationship with supply chain collaboration group Kotahi.

Mr Reidie says “our overall outlook is positive as we expect strong demand improvements to

continue. The limiting factors for us now are working our way through the domestic impacts of

Covid-19 and addressing staff shortages in key areas such as mussel processing.”

Given the early stage of its recovery, Sanford’s Board has determined it will not be paying an

interim dividend. It remains focused on returning to normalised dividend payments as soon as

it is financially prudent to do so. The Board is committed to taking a step towards this with a

modest final dividend payment at the end of this financial year.

Non-GAAP Profit measures

Sanford’s standard profit measure prepared under New Zealand GAAP is net

profit. Sanford have used non-GAAP measures when discussing financial

performance in this document. The Directors and management believe that

these measures provide useful information as they are used internally to

evaluate divisional and total Group performance and to establish operating

and capital budgets. Non-GAAP profit measures are not prepared in

accordance with NZ IFRS (New Zealand equivalents to International Financial

Reporting Standards) and are not uniformly defined, therefore the non-GAAP

profit measures included in this report are not comparable with those used

by other companies. They should not be viewed in isolation or as a

substitute for GAAP profit measures as reported by Sanford in accordance

with NZ IFRS

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT

2022

Welcome to Sanford’s 2022 Interim

Report, which lays out our results to

31st March, 2022. In the six months

covered here, we have seen evidence

of a global demand recovery, as food

service re-bounds from the impacts of

Covid-19. Through these six months,

we have leveraged this recovery to

focus on the priorities we previously

laid out for 2022:

• Rebuild mussel profitability

• Grow developing opportunities

in wildcatch

• Retain salmon profitability and

prepare for future growth

Our challenges over this period have

moved from demand for seafood, to

challenges of supply. This explains the

overall picture you will see laid out in the

following pages, of increased revenue and

higher margins, alongside lower volumes.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and

Tax (Adjusted EBIT) was $19.2 million,

representing a 79.4% increase on the same

period last year ($10.7 million).

Net profit after tax (NPAT) for the first

half is $6.1 million. This would be an

improvement on NPAT for the prior

comparable period, except that in 2021’s

first half NPAT was $13.8 million due to a

gain on sale of $13.4 million, from the sale

of our cold store facility in Tauranga.

Revenue has increased by 16.0% from

$233.5 million in the first half of 2021

to $270.9 in 2022, due to stronger pricing.

We are seeing this increased pricing in

the majority of our product categories,

particularly in some of our whitefish

species. Details of this can be found in

the section on wildcatch in this Review.

Naturally we have a limited accessible

resource in our wildcatch division, as

our share of New Zealand’s Quota

Management System remains fixed

and caps our ability to grow volumes.

Greenshell mussel volume growth has

also been impacted by the serious

labour shortage being experienced by

New Zealand’s primary industries. We

can only harvest what we can process and

the shortage of local labour coupled with

few available workers on working holiday

visas has meant we have been unable to

expand our processing capacity to meet

the increased demand.

The first half of 2021 was impacted

by Covid-induced closures to foodservice

worldwide. Results from OpenTable, an

20,000 restaurants globally (mostly in

North America, Europe and Australia),

showed that numbers of seated diners in

food service restaurants dropped 100%

compared to pre-pandemic levels from

March through to May of 2020. In March

2021, numbers hovered around 40% below

pre-pandemic levels.

This year, we have seen the return of out of

home dining in the key markets surveyed.

Diner numbers for March 2022 have sat at

or above comparable pre-pandemic levels

in 2019. With around 70% of seafood

consumed out of home, this is good news

for our industry and for Sanford.

Our overall sales volumes were 48.6k

greenweight tonne (GWT) for the first half

of our 2022 year, down by 11.3% on the

prior comparable period (54.9k GWT)

where we were clearing frozen inventory,

which had built up due to covid demand

impacts. It is worth noting that last year

we were maintaining sales volumes by

clearing frozen product. That is no longer

the case, and our sales volumes in the first

half of 2022 are a more direct reflection

of what we are harvesting, rather than

selling down inventory.

Given the early stage of our recovery, the

Board has determined not to pay an

interim dividend. It remains focused on

returning to normal dividend payments as

soon as it is financially prudent to do so.

We are committed to taking a step towards

this with a modest final dividend payment

at the end of this financial year.

Sales volumes for our wildcatch division at

29.3k GWT were lower than the previous

comparable period in 2021 (36.7k GWT). The

profit contribution from this division was

strong (up 108.4% on the prior comparable

period). This was due to improved pricing,

driven by a significant lift in global demand

for whitefish. Sales volumes for deepwater

species such as squid and orange roughy

were depressed somewhat, due partly to

a slightly later than usual start to the squid

season which we are not expecting to

catch up, but also some unexpected vessel

outages. The strong margins were

particularly evident in scampi, toothfish

and hoki.

In the last two weeks of March, we did see

some disruption from Covid related impacts

on crew numbers, which meant we were

not able to operate our deepwater fleet at

full capacity. This has been well managed

by the team in Timaru who have been adept

at sourcing crew at short notice and

minimising disruptions to fishing schedules.

FISHING METHODS

Despite the excellence of our product,

our real and ongoing commitments to

sustainability and the importance of our

industry to New Zealand, commercial

fishing’s reputation is often under attack.

Certain groups have fixated on criticism of

fishing, using exaggeration or distortion to

paint a picture of the industry which simply

does not match the reality of the one we

work in every day. An area where this is

particularly acute is trawling. The vast

majority of our seafood in New Zealand is

caught this way – Ministry for Primary

Industries (MPI) figures show that around

80% of New Zealand’s commercial catch is

caught by a trawl method.

The proportion of catch may be large,

but the areas where trawling happens

are small. New Zealand commercial fishers

trawl in less than five percent of our

territorial waters. A huge proportion

(thirty percent) of our territorial seas

are locked up in benthic protection

areas where bottom trawling is excluded.

This is something Sanford supports.

Our vessels habitually return to the

same, well established fishing grounds

because that is where the fish are.

Typically, these grounds are over a

mud or sand bottom. Venturing outside

our usual spots can result in the snagging

of fishing gear, an expensive and time-

consuming mistake which no fisher would

seek to make.

In our view, the argument about trawling

needs to mature and take a step forward

to focus on location rather than fishing

method. We support working with all

interested parties to make decisions about

where to allow fishing and what areas to

set aside for conservation, as long as these

decisions are guided by science. Ensuring

fishing happens in the right places is

something that is much easier with

today’s technology, including the recent

developments in electronic geo-fencing

which help ensure our vessels go only

where they should. Mistakes can happen,

but we seek, and are making, continuous

improvements in our fishing, something

which is not acknowledged by critics

whose minds are often still on the

pre-Quota Management System failures

of four decades ago.

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT

2022

Our Greenshell mussel division was the last

to be hit by Covid-related market impacts

and has been the last to recover. This is

partly because of the nature of our supply

contracts for this product, where prices

are locked in for defined durations.

Our mussels are mostly sold frozen to food

service venues in the US and Asia and

these areas are now benefiting from the

return to out of home dining. As a result,

we are seeing an improvement in pricing

and our outlook for mussel demand is

positive. The challenge we face is on the

supply side with an increase in freight

costs and with labour shortages in

New Zealand impacting our ability to

process our mussel products. Our

Havelock and NIML plants are currently

understaffed and our best efforts to

attract new talent have not yielded

significant results. We, like most primary

production businesses, are finding there

are simply not enough work-ready

New Zealanders available to fill the roles

we have and competition for labour is

intense. This is a nationwide issue but is

one that is particularly acute in the

regional areas where Sanford’s operations

are based.

We are seeking to address this challenge

as best we can with a number of initiatives,

including increasing the competitiveness

of our employment terms. However, we

do not see any immediate relief from

the current situation while current

immigration settings remain in place.

We are pleased to report that

construction work on our Marine Extracts

Centre is well underway. This site will allow

us to double our mussel powder output,

going from the current two dryers to four.

We already have the demand to absorb this

increased production and the new site will

have the space to allow us to eventually

house eight dryers. With building

progressing rapidly, we are confident we

will have this facility open and producing

mussel powder from four dryers by the

end of the 2022 calendar year.

Our salmon division has seen continued

volume and revenue growth in the first

six months of our 2022 year. Sales volumes

were up at 2.9k GWT (versus 2.5k GWT

for the prior comparable period), as was

revenue for this area. However, salmon’s

profit contribution was only marginally

higher than the prior comparable period,

partly due to increased costs associated

with managing the risks from warmer

waters, increased feed costs and covid

impacts on production and staffing levels.

Readers of this report will have likely

encountered recent publicity about

elevated water temperatures in the

Marlborough Sounds, aggravating

mortality levels for farmed salmon.

Our farm is in the waters of Stewart Island,

seven degrees of latitude south of the

Sounds. We are grateful to be there,

in the cooler southern waters, surrounded

by a national park.

That is not to say we are immune

from climate change impacts. Water

temperatures were unusually high in

January 2022, spiking earlier than we would

normally see, but have returned to average

levels in subsequent months. This initiated

an earlier rise in summer fish mortalities.

These were slower to reduce than we would

normally observe, however remained small,

at around 3.5% of all fish stock from

January to March and were well managed

by our Stewart Island team, who have made

several changes to the farm to minimise

temperature impacts, such as reducing

stocking densities and introducing

oxygenation and aeration measures.

Demand for our salmon remains high,

both domestically, where it is available

through Foodstuffs’ North Island

supermarkets, and internationally.

SANFORD PEOPLE

– COVID’S DOMESTIC IMPACT

While we have clearly seen the recovery

in international markets, Covid-19

made its presence felt domestically in

our second quarter. After two years

of keeping the pandemic largely at bay,

Omicron began its march across

New Zealand, after first being detected

in the country on the 16th of December,

2021. Many weeks passed before

Sanford was impacted directly. This was

not simply a result of good luck. Our

emphasis on health, safety and wellbeing

ensured we had a full suite of controls in

place to minimise the risks to our people

and to production. We worked closely

with our people to introduce a Covid-19

vaccine mandate, requiring our staff,

visitors, contractors and sharefishers

to have had two doses of an approved

Covid-19 vaccine in order to enter a

Sanford site. This, alongside PPE,

to appreciate the quality of our King

salmon and we have continued to see

our Big Glory Bay brand go from

strength to strength. This brand is now

represented in approximately 150 retail

stores in America with ambitions

to reach 500 over the next 12 months.

SUSTAINABILITY – NO COMPROMISE

Sustainability remains a non-negotiable

for Sanford. We understand the business

fundamental that there is no Sanford if

there are no fish. We have been fishing

since Albert Sanford first went out on the

Hauraki Gulf in 1864. We intend to fish

and farm in such a way that we are still

fishing, proudly and with respect, in the

next century and beyond.

We have mapped our carbon reduction

pathway in line with our emissions

reduction goals, targeting a 25% reduction

in our operational carbon emissions by

2030. Steps on this path will include new

vessels and Tier 3 engine replacements,

which will introduce lower emissions

profiles to our fleet; phased rollout of

sustainable marine fuels; new ballast water

systems; changes to newer more efficient

boilers; innovative waste treatment

systems; lighting upgrades and changes

to our refrigeration technologies.

We also seek to be a leader in transparency

and in our work with the wider community.

We have long supported cameras on

distancing and other hygiene and safety

controls, was another tool to keep our

people safe from Delta, which was the

then dominant strain. This policy came into

effect from the 1st of January 2022.

We sought to acquire Rapid Antigen Tests

from November, when we applied to the

Ministry of Health for a licence to import

our own kits. We introduced these into the

business as soon as we received stocks in

December, prioritising our deepwater fleet

based in Timaru. Our focus was on

reducing the probability of a positive case

on any vessel which would be at sea for a

period of weeks at a time. In this, we had

considerable success, although when

Covid community case numbers

rose dramatically, we were forced to make

many last minute crew changes, which

challenged our usual efficiency with

getting our vessels to sea.

In the latter part of this half, we also

faced considerable staffing challenges in

our production facilities. Covid-19 induced

absenteeism became an issue in our

Auckland factory first, seeing absences

peak at around 52%. The high numbers

off work were a combination of actual

Covid cases and staff impacted by the

requirement to isolate because of sick

family members or housemates. The use

of Rapid Antigen Testing kept positive

cases away from our production facilities,

but the necessary work to maintain

Covid-free sites has impacted production

levels. Post the close of the half year, by

mid-April, our Auckland team were seeing

a return to normal absenteeism. South

Island production facilities however, saw

Covid hit later and subsequently are

delayed in emerging from its effects.

Our ongoing focus on health, safety

and wellbeing sees us continue to use

Rapid Antigen Testing, masks, other

PPE, screening and all requisite hygiene

measures to keep our people safe.

Great credit is due to our teams for

managing their way through these

challenges. The careful planning done in

2021 paid off. With Covid management

procedures shared, understood and tested,

teams knew what to expect and how to

minimise impacts, making good on our

pandemic response mission: to continue

to feed New Zealand and the world while

keeping our people safe and secure.

It is heartening to see that our

engagement scores have not decreased

significantly over the last six months,

despite the difficulties introduced by the

pandemic. Our overall engagement

score remains 7.5/10.

SUPPLY CHAIN PICTURE IMPROVES

Capacity remains constrained in sea and

air freight and we are seeing increased

costs in this area. However, we have

benefited from our contract with Kotahi

which began on the 1st of October, 2021.

This arrangement will operate for a

minimum of two years and gives Kotahi

responsibility for all of our frozen export

product. So far, we have had no issues

getting our seafood onto vessels, thanks

to this arrangement – supply chain access

and capacity issues are better than twelve

months ago, although we recognise that

global capacity is reduced, and we are

continuing to see localised constraints.

For example, issues remain with some

foreign ports particularly into parts of

China and the US. We are also seeing

rising fuel costs produce a significant

cost impost and we expect this to

continue in the second half of the year

with both a domestic impact and an

impact on the cost of exporting. We

expect to see a reduction in air freight

capacity in the second half of 2022, with

passengers returning to the skies, capacity

for freight is reduced but there is a lag

before additional flights are introduced.

We do not anticipate this impact will

continue in the longer term.

Our inventory is back to pre-Covid levels.

We are seeing good sell-through of

product as it is produced or landed and we

expect this to continue. We do not intend

to hold significant levels of inventory over

the second half of 2022.

Labour shortages are also impacting our

supply chain partners from trucking

companies to cold stores as businesses

across New Zealand feel the effects of the

tight jobs market. This has meant we have

had to cast our net wider than usual in

order to get temporary labour to help load

containers and perform other duties

typically handled by contractors. So far, we

have managed this situation satisfactorily

and were able to work to plan in the first

half of the year.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASHFLOW

We would describe our current debt levels

as satisfactory, putting us in a strong

position to commence with our strategic

plans, including capital spend.

We have managed our debt position out of

Covid well and have kept net debt to a

minimum at $175.6 million. Our balance

sheet strength is good, operating cash

flows are strong, and we have around

$90 million headroom on our current

banking facilities.

CRAYFISH QUOTA SALE AND STRATEGY

Our five year strategic plan will be shared

in detail with the market and via

publication on the NZX in June. However,

we have previously reported that we seek a

number of primary strategic outcomes and

three of these, as mentioned at the start

of this Review are to:

To do this, we need to invest in vessels and

plants such as our RAS (Recirculating

people. Every single person at Sanford has

been affected by Covid-19 in one way or

another. Despite this, they have continued

to do what we have asked of them, while

operating in very challenging circumstances.

This is greatly appreciated and it is

gratifying to see their efforts driving a far

more palatable result than a year ago. We

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SANFORD INTERIM REPORT

2022

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

NOTE 1 – GENERAL INFORMATION

Sanford Limited (‘the parent’ or ‘the

Company’) is a profit-oriented company

that is domiciled and incorporated in

New Zealand. The Company is registered

under the Companies Act 1993 and listed

on the New Zealand Stock Exchange

(NZX). The Company is an FMC entity for

the purposes of Part 7 of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The interim financial statements

presented are for Sanford Limited

(‘Sanford’ or ‘the Group’) as at and for

the six months ended 31 March 2022.

The Group comprises the Company, its

subsidiaries and its investments in joint

arrangements and associates.

The interim financial statements are

prepared in accordance with NZ IAS 34:

Interim Financial Reporting. The interim

financial statements and the restated

comparative information for the six

months ended 31 March 2021 are

unaudited. The comparative information

for the year ended 30 September 2021

are audited.

The Group is a large and long-established

fishing and aquaculture farming business

devoted entirely to the farming,

harvesting, processing, storage and

marketing of quality seafood products

and investments in related activities.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PREPARATION

(i) Significant accounting policies

The Group’s accounting policies have

been applied consistently to all periods

presented in these interim financial

statements, and have been applied

consistently by Group entities, except

as detailed below in note 2(ii).

(ii) New and amended accounting

interpretation adopted: IAS 38

Intangible Asset

The IFRS Interpretations Committee

(‘IFRIC’) has issued two final agenda

decisions relating to Software-as-a-

Service (‘SaaS’) cloud computing

arrangements. In the March 2019 agenda

decision, IFRIC considers whether an

entity should recognise an intangible

asset in a cloud computing arrangement

if the contract does not contain a lease

of the underlying software or if the

entity has no control of the underlying

software. The assessment is done at

the commencement of the contract.

The April 2021 IFRIC agenda decision

considers how an entity accounts for

configuration or customisation costs in

a SaaS cloud computing arrangement.

The Group retrospectively adopted the

interpretations at 1 October 2020,

resulting in the derecognition of

previously capitalised configuration

and customisation costs as a cumulative equity adjustment of $4.0m net of tax at

1 October 2020 (refer to the Sanford 2021 integrated report for details). Henceforth,

comparative information for the six months ended and as at 31 March 2021 presented

in these interim financial statements are also restated. The following tables present the

impact from the said restatements:

(iii) Impact of COVID-19

The Group’s financial performance and financial position continue to be impacted by the

COVID-19 global pandemic. An assessment of the impact of COVID-19 on the Group’s

31 March 2022 statement of financial position is set out below:

Balance Sheet itemCOVID-19 Assessment

Trade and other

receivables

Recovered demand from re-opened international economies and their

foodservice industries, complemented by favourable sales prices achieved

across the Group’s white fish, salmon and mussels businesses, have

contributed to an increase in trade receivables since September 2021.

No significant issues are noted at 31 March 2022 in respect of credit risk.

Inventories

Seaford inventory levels fell in terms of value by 30% relative to

March 2021. In addition the positive reopening of several export

hospitality markets has also seen inventory levels fall in this half-year

by 14%, when compared to the September 2021 year end. Sanford has

been able to take advantage of increasing demand enabling inventory

levels to fall to near pre-Covid levels. The inventory balance reflects the

inclusion of a $2.7 million provision in order to appropriately value

inventory to its net realisable value. The group does not have ageing

issues in respect of inventory.

(iv) Comparative information

Certain expenses in the consolidated condensed income statements for the six months

ended 31 March 2021 and year ended 30 September 2021 have been reclassified from

cost of sales to administrative expenses to align with the nature of the expenses.

NOTE 3 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group’s key operating divisions are:

• wildcatch – responsible for catching and processing inshore and deepwater fish

species; and

• aquaculture – responsible for farming, harvesting and processing mussels and salmon.

Executive management of the Group monitors the operating results of the wildcatch

and aquaculture (mussels and salmon) divisions. Divisional performance is evaluated

based on operating profit or loss. Capital expenditure consists of additions of property,

plant and equipment and intangible assets.

The Group has determined that the divisions above should be aggregated to form one

reportable segment to reflect the farming, harvesting, processing and selling of seafood

products, due to the aggregated manner in which performance is monitored. Further

information on segment reporting is included in the financial statements for the year

ended 30 September 2021.

In April 2022, the secured term loans expiring on 30 April 2022 were extended to
