Tower provides update following strong trading result


Kiwi insurer, Tower Limited (NZX/ASX: TWR) has today provided an update on its

earnings guidance on underlying net profit after tax (underlying NPAT) for the year

ending 30 September 2024.


Full year underlying NPAT is expected to be at the upper end of or exceed the

previously advised range of between $22m and $27m. This assumes full utilisation of a

large events allowance which has conservatively been set at $45m.


The increased expectation for underlying NPAT guidance follows strong trading results

for the first four months of the financial year, including positive GWP growth and a

better-than-expected claims performance as the frequency of motor claims has begun

to normalise. Accordingly, Tower expects it will be at the top end or exceed its gross

written premium (GWP) and combined operating ratio (COR) guidance ranges over the

FY24 year.


No large events were recorded in the four-month period.


Tower will provide further details on its performance at its annual shareholder meeting

on 21 February.


Financial information provided in this update is based on Tower’s unaudited

management accounts as at 31 January, 2024.

This announcement has been authorised by Tower Chief Executive, Blair Turnbull
