Turners upgrades FY24 profit guidance for its fourth consecutive record result

Turners Automotive Group Limited (NZX/ASX: TRA) announces today an upgrade to its FY24 guidance to
a net profit before tax of at least NZ$48m, ahead of the NZ$45.5m achieved in FY23. Now an NZX top 50
company, this will be Turners’ fourth consecutive record profit result.

With more certainty around the full year result the forecast dividend has been increased to NZ25 cents
per share (+9% YoY), up from prior guidance of NZ24cps. Turners is approaching a decade of sustainable
dividend growth, with an 11% compound annual dividend growth rate since FY15.

The 3Q24 dividend will be paid in late March 2024 with the final dividend for FY24 to be paid in late July
2024. Dividends will be fully imputed and the Directors expect that the Turners’ Dividend Reinvestment
Plan (DRP) will continue to apply to both these dividends.


The NZ used car market and the Turners' business continue to demonstrate strong resilience despite a
broader economy under pressure. Meanwhile, stabilisation in the official cash rate (OCR) is turning from
a headwind into a tailwind for the Finance business.

The company will report its full year results in late May. More detail on individual segments can be found

Segment update:

 Auto Retail – Turners Cars Timaru opened in October 2023 and the new Turners Cars Napier
branch opened last week. Vehicle margins on owned stock continue to hold up well, and some
good progress is being made in the transition of wholesale auction units into retail sales channel.
Damaged & End of Life vehicle volumes excluding one off weather events continue to grow.

 Finance – Interest margins have stabilised and we have seen some small expansion in the last
few months. The loan book is growing at a modest pace and arrears are performing well within
expected levels. There is still some sensitivity to the OCR track, and any reduction in the OCR
during 2024 would be positive for bottom line growth.

 Insurance - New policy sales are tracking well and ahead of FY23 and claims ratios are stable.
Investment returns continue to improve.

 Credit Management – Debt load levels are increasing as is the volume of payment arrangements
in place, although economic conditions are making payment arrangements more difficult. There
is a clear increase in debt load from SME sector as pressure intensifies in parts of the economy.
