Last year marked a successful transition
for My Food Bag and during the first half
of FY25 we’ve been pleased to build
on this momentum.
Supported by strong brands and an attractive customer
offering, we have further stabilised active customer numbers
and the business in general, and are well-positioned to
capture a larger share of New Zealand’s online food market.
During the first half of the year, outside of our usual focus
to strengthen all marketing and product-led initiatives,
we invested in building a more flexible operating model
and redesigning the user experience of our online apps
and website.
We also designed the new My Food Bag Shop, offering a
range of delicious foodie gifts and care packages available
as one-off purchases delivered within 48 hours, opening
up a new customer segment for the business.
We are also delighted to launch our new purpose ‘Helping
Aotearoa, New Zealand to eat and live well’ – which
exemplifies our dedication on providing simple, healthy and
delicious solutions to households across New Zealand and
is a driving force behind the key initiatives across the business.
Financial performance
In the first half of FY25 (FY25 H1), revenue was down 1.9%
year-on-year, to $82.2 million. EBITDA was up 5.7% to $7.8
million in FY25 H1, and NPAT was $3.0 million, compared to
$2.5 million during the same period last year.
Deliveries were down 1.5% against the comparative period
(FY24 H1), with average order value being $128.00 across
the first half, slightly down from $128.50 FY24 H1. This was
largely due to changes in our portfolio mix, with Bargain Box
experiencing the highest growth and therefore bringing the
average order cost down.
Gross margin percentage has also improved at 49.8%,
versus 47.9% during FY24 H1. Contribution margin sat at
24.1% during the first half of the financial year, versus 22.0%
in FY24 H1. We continue to see the benefit of productivity
improvements made in FY24 including the consolidation of
Auckland sites and the investment in pick technology.
At the end of the first half we had 60,100 active customers
across all My Food Bag brands and continues to hold steady
subsequent to 30 September 2024. This compares to 56,800
active customers at 31 March 2024.
Across FY25 H1 we continued our focus on paying down
debt and reduced net debt from $11.8m at the end of FY24
to $9.7m at the end of September 2024.
Based on the performance across the first half of FY25, the
Board is pleased to declare an interim dividend and confirms
a fully imputed dividend of 0.65 cent per share.

Business update
ENHANCING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
Improving customer experience across multiple aspects of our
business has been a significant focus since the beginning of
the year. As an e-commerce business, it’s critical our customers
have the most seamless experience possible when interacting
with us via both our website and our app.
During the first half of FY25 we advanced a full UX redesign
of our customer buying journey across all web and mobile
platforms to provide a seamless buying experience for new
and existing customers.
The new UX offers easy navigation of our expanded meal
range with an intuitive layout and sorting features. Customers
can set preferences for a more personalised experience, with
tailored meals shown first. New features also include the My
Food Bag Cookbook for saved, upcoming, and past recipes,
an ingredient checklist as well as an integrated My Food Bag
Shop tab for simple one-off deliveries within the app.
This redesign is strategically important for our business. It will
not only enhance the buying experience, but will support
conversion of customer loyalty and long-term business growth.
It will also enable us to more efficiently continue to evolve our
website and in-app experience.
MY FOOD BAG SHOP
Growing meal kit subscriptions is core to our strategy to grow
active customers long term by improving convenience, flexibility
and great value.
Alongside this, we’re focused on launching initiatives to
support the growth of our core offering, with a specific focus
on capturing market share by targeting people without meal
kit subscriptions.
Our My Food Bag Shop launched during November. In phase
one, customers can choose from a selection of care packages,
gifting and ready-made meal bundles, which they or their
chosen recipient can receive within 48 hours of ordering
without a subscription. This new initiative marks My Food Bag’s
first major move to offer products without a subscription and
shorter delivery times.
Our FY24 investment in pick to light technology, as well as
the app and website redesign, have been foundational to
launching this more flexible offering.
During the initial phase we’ll learn what draws new customers
in and persuades current customers to buy more from us, as
well as how best to use our existing supply chain assets to
maximise utilisation.
OUR PORTFOLIO OF BRANDS
We went into the first half of FY25 with new learnings and
have optimised what’s in play to continue to protect and grow
our core My Food Bag, Fresh Start and Bargain Box brands,
while strengthening them with new offerings.
Through our understanding of the evolving tastes of
New Zealanders, part of our strategy is to continue to curate
and refine our offering to meet dietary preferences. Since
bringing our ready-made offering under the My Food Bag
brand, re-launching our My Gluten Free Bag and increasing
the number of low-carb options across our meal kit offering,
we’ve seen an encouraging sales uplift.
In May we announced a partnership with the New Zealand
Olympic Committee, supporting the New Zealand team as
they headed to the Paris 2024 Olympics. This partnership
performed well for the brand, reinforcing our New Zealand
heritage and demonstrating the different ways the business
gives back to Kiwis.
We saw exceptional engagement across both our social media
platforms and with our existing customers, as we ran initiatives
such as our ‘Sweet Taste of Success’ which rewarded customers
every time NZ won a medal.
As New Zealand’s most affordable meal kit, Bargain Box
continues to be well-positioned and well-suited for the current
economic environment.
We are committed to helping Kiwi households continue to eat
great quality food for less and have seen continued year-
on-year sales growth of Bargain Box, along with significant
improvements in customer NPS. A key element of the success of
Bargain Box is its price competitiveness to supermarkets, which
we measure regularly and use in communications. For the
fourth consecutive year, Bargain Box also received Canstar’s
‘Most Satisfied Customers’ award, as rated by Kiwi households.

IMPROVED CONVENIENCE
Pick technology introduced in FY24 has continued to drive
customer satisfaction through improved service performance.
This has resulted in notably improved Net Promoter Scores
being up 8ppt YoY across the half, and a reduction in
customer compensation.
In addition, we have expanded our delivery options including
the new early bird delivery offering in Auckland, extending our
service to deliver from 7am on a Monday. As well as opening
new delivery routes to further upweight the convenience and
flexibility we provide Kiwis.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
We continued to focus on learning and development across
the first half of FY25 with development programmes targeting
business improvement. This included our Operational
Excellence programme, designed to upskill our team
across the wider supply chain.
Following our investment in Pick to Light technology and a
step change in our operational performance, our operational
team are measured across customer-facing quality metrics,
pick accuracy and delivery. To take this to the next level, we
recognise we need to further strengthen our processes and
standards, and our new operational excellence programme
is delivering this across the business.
We’ve long demonstrated our commitment to supporting
local suppliers by sourcing more than 98% of fresh proteins
and produce from New Zealand. We are now taking this a
step further and we recently celebrated local suppliers by
holding our inaugural Supplier Awards.
In addition, we remain dedicated to advancing circular
packaging within our business and are working with our
suppliers on initiatives such as shifting from ingredient
delivery in cardboard boxes to reusable crates in our
distribution centres to reduce our packaging usage.
Conclusion
Convenience has never been more important to Kiwis and, as a
leading meal solutions business, we’re continuing to evolve our
business to ensure we’re meeting the needs of Kiwi households
and their tastes.
We have a clear strategy designed
to grow active customers by
becoming more relevant through
improved convenience, flexibility
and great value.
While market conditions will remain challenging during FY25
H2, we expect to continue to trade broadly in line with the
prior year. We are underway to execute our long-term plan to
improve the customer experience in order to drive conversions,
customer loyalty and business growth as New Zealand’s
economic outlook improves.
We thank our shareholders for their commitment to the business
during this time and acknowledge the whole My Food Bag
team and our partners for their dedication during the first
half of this financial year.

Net book value at 31 March 2024 (Audited)63,63118,3573,47644885,912
SOFTWARE ASSETS
During the prior period, the Group reassessed the expected useful life of software assets, including those with an opening book value
at 1 April 2023 and determined the useful life of the majority of software assets to be 3 years instead of 2 years. This resulted in an
increase in amortisation of $146,000 in the current period (30 September 2023: $279,000 reduction in amortisation).
IMPAIRMENT INDICATORS
The Group performs a detailed impairment assessment annually and considers indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
At 30 September 2024, consistent with the position at 31 March 2024, the carrying amount of the net assets of the Group is more
than its market capitalisation, which is an indication that goodwill and indefinite life brands may be impaired.
There has been no change in forecast cash flows or market conditions since 31 March 2024, when the Group has last carried out
an impairment test that would indicate a significant deterioration in the recoverable amount of the Group or impairment of goodwill
or indefinite life assets.

My Food Bag Group Limited today reported its financial performance for the six months to 30 September 2024
(FY25 H1).
Tony Carter, Chairman of My Food Bag, says: "Last year marked a successful transition for My Food Bag and
during FY25 H1, we’ve been pleased to build on this momentum.
“We have further stabilised active customer numbers and the business in general. We have also continued to
benefit from productivity improvements made in FY24 including the consolidation of Auckland sites and the
investment in pick technology.
“Debt reduction has also continued to be a focus for us, and we have reduced net debt from $11.8m at the end
of FY24 to $9.7m at the end of September 2024. Based on FY25 H1 performance, the Board is pleased to
declare an interim dividend and confirms a fully imputed dividend of 0.65 cent per share,” says Carter.
The My Food Bag Shop was recently launched and is designed to support the growth of the business’ core
offering with a specific focus on capturing market share by targeting people without meal kit subscriptions. In
addition the My Food Bag Shop opens up a new customer segment for the business.
This initiative was supported by a full UX redesign of the My Food Bag customer journey across all web and
mobile platforms to provide a seamless buying experience for new and existing customers.
My Food Bag CEO, Mark Winter, says: “Growing our core offering has also been a significant focus during the
first half of the year. We launched phase one of our My Food Bag Shop in November, which enables customers
to choose from a selection of care packages, gifting and ready-made meal bundles, which they or their chosen
recipient can receive within 48 hours of ordering without a subscription.
“We’ve continued to protect and grow our core My Food Bag, Fresh Start and Bargain Box brands, while
strengthening them with new offerings. Since bringing our ready-made offering under the My Food Bag brand,
re-launching our My Gluten Free Bag and increasing the number of low-carb options across our meal kit
offering, we’ve seen an encouraging sales uplift.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) is a non-GAAP measure. A reconciliation from GAAP NPBT to non-
GAAP EBITDA can be found in the notes to the interim financial statements.

Active customers are customers that have taken at least one delivery in the 13 weeks prior.

Outlook
“As New Zealand’s most affordable meal kit, Bargain Box continues to be well-positioned and well-suited for the
current economic environment and we’ve enjoyed continued year-on-year sales growth of Bargain Box.
“Convenience has never been more important to Kiwis and, as a leading meal solutions business, we’re
continuing to evolve our business to ensure we’re meeting the needs of Kiwi households and their tastes.
“While market conditions will remain challenging during FY25 H2, we expect to continue to trade broadly in line
with the prior year. We are underway to execute our long-term plan to improve the customer experience in
order to drive conversions, customer loyalty and business growth as New Zealand’s economic outlook
improves,” says Winter.

Average Order Value
Bargain Box continues to be a key driver of average order value
Average Order Value was $128.0, down -0.5% on
FY24 H1 driven by:
•Higher indexing to Bargain Box relative to other
brands
•Mix of My Food Bag extra items as we continue
to deliver a range of competitively priced
essentials for our customers
•Ongoing investment in discounting - targeted
initiatives have resulted in stable frequency
This reduction is largely offset by:
•Small price increase in My Food Bag to recover
some input cost pressure
•Improved operating service levels requiring
lower compensation to customers
