Skellerup reports record first-half NPAT

Skellerup announced today unaudited net profit after tax of $24.2 million for the six months ended

31 December 2024 – a record result and an increase of 12% on the prior comparative period (pcp).

Key points for the six months ending 31 December 2024

 Revenue of $165.3 million, up 5% on the pcp

 Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of $35.0 million, a record result and up 11% on the

pcp

o Industrial Division EBIT of $22.4 million, down 2% on the pcp

o Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million, up 31% on the pcp

o Corporate costs of $2.9 million, down 7% on the pcp

 Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $24.2 million, a record result and up 12% on the pcp

 Operating cash flow of $32.2 million, down $4.3 million on the pcp

 Net debt of $20.4 million, a $6.0 million reduction on the prior half year

 Interim dividend of 9.0 cents per share (an increase of 0.5 cps), up 6% on the pcp

CEO Graham Leaming commented: “We are pleased with the record first-half result underpinned by

an expected but significant lift from our Agri Division, which reverted to a more normal seasonal

pattern with stronger sales of dairy rubberware consumables in international markets. Our Industrial

Division delivered a solid result, despite some volatility in US demand during Q2 associated with the

US election.”

Industrial Division

Skellerup’s Industrial Division EBIT of $22.4 million was down 2% on the pcp. “Revenue was up 5%

with growth from increased sales into solar roofing applications in Europe and hygiene applications

in the US more than offsetting the continued slowdown in the Australian construction market, the

timing of sales into the mining sector in Australia and lower demand for high-performance marine

foam products in the US. Sales into potable and waste-water applications were flat with growth in

Australia offset by softer demand in the US. The product mix and higher international freight costs

caused a slight reduction in margin, which we expect to reverse in the second half of the year.

Indirect costs were up on the pcp due to increased personnel costs and improved warehouse

facilities to support future growth.”

Agri Division

Skellerup’s Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million was up 31% on the pcp. Leaming noted, “Revenue was

up 4% due to increased sales of dairy rubberware consumables to international customers. The

increase was largely anticipated due to the prior period being negatively impacted by customer

destocking. The increase in production to meet demand was delivered efficiently, aided by

investment in process improvements and equipment, delivering improved gross margins. Footwear

sales were softer in the first half, particularly in New Zealand where economic conditions impacted




on consumer spend. Indirect costs were up due to investing in development capability to ensure

future growth.

Cash

Group operating cash flow of $32.2 million was down 12% on the pcp. Leaming said, “We are a

global business with ~80% of our revenue generated from sales into international markets and we

manufacture our products across the world. We increased inventory to manage the impact of longer

shipping times caused by disruption to shipping routes in the Middle East and to mitigate against the

risk of port strikes in the US and the impact of the possible increase in tariffs being imposed for

products sold into the US. Consequently, our operating cash flow was slightly below the record

result achieved in the pcp.” Net debt remains low at $20.4 million, 23% lower than the pcp.

Outlook

Skellerup guided for FY25 NPAT to be in the range of $52 to $56 million. Leaming said: “Global

economic conditions are mixed and geo-political uncertainty continues, making forecasting more

difficult than usual. However, our business remains well placed, with growth from existing and new

products expected to more than offset the headwinds that persist in some markets and applications.

We continue to add to our pipeline of products to sustain growth in future years and we remain alert

to acquisition opportunities. We have the expertise and innovation to execute, underscoring our

conviction to deliver ongoing earnings growth for our shareholders.”

Dividend

Chair John Strowger said the strong first-half result, and expectations for the full year, allowed the

Board to declare a 6% increase in the interim dividend to 9.0 cents per share, imputed 50% (the

same level as in the pcp). The dividend will be paid on 20 March 2025 to shareholders of record at

5pm on 07 March 2025.

“As noted at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in October 2024, the global economic conditions and

political risks make for a challenging business environment, but we continue to focus on executing

current business well, alongside investing in capability and initiatives to improve returns, capture

opportunities for new business and mitigate market risks.”

CEO REVIEW

Group net profit after tax (NPAT) for the six

months ended 31 December 2024 was $24.2

million, a record result and an increase of 12%

on the prior corresponding period (pcp).

The improvement over the pcp was largely

due to a significant lift in demand for dairy

rubberware consumables, which more than

offset lower sales in the more discretionary

footwear and leisure applications.

During a period where economic

conditions have remained challenging,

the record NPAT again demonstrates the

resilience of our strategy and focus.

We design and manufacture products for

use in applications demanding precision,

high performance and conformance.

We focus on understanding customers’

needs and applying deep technical

knowledge and expertise to meet them,

increasingly integrating discrete parts to

simplify their businesses.

SKELLERUP HALF YEAR REPORT FY25

Industrial Division

Industrial Division earnings before interest

and tax (EBIT) of $22.4 million was down

2% on the pcp. Revenue was up 5% with

growth from increased sales into solar

roofing applications in Europe and hygiene

applications in the US more than offsetting

the continued trough in the Australian

construction market, timing of sales into the

mining sector and lower demand for high-

performance marine foam products. Sales

into potable and waste-water applications

were f lat with growth in Australia offset

by softer demand in the US. Product mix,

higher international freight costs and

increased personnel and facility costs to

meet future growth opportunities pushed

the Industrial Division EBIT slightly below

the record result achieved in the pcp.

We continue to have a strong pipeline

of growth opportunities with global

original equipment manufacturing (OEM)

customers. In the first half of FY25 we spent

and committed capital to increase technical

and manufacturing capability in New

Zealand, Europe and the US, launched new

products for customers across the globe

and upgraded our distribution facility in

Chicago. We also agreed terms for a new

distribution facility opening during Q3 in

the Netherlands.

Agri Division

Agri Division EBIT of $15.5 million was up

31% on the pcp. Revenue was up 4% due

to increased sales of dairy rubberware

consumables to international customers.

This growth was largely anticipated due to

the prior period being negatively impacted

by customer destocking. The challenging

economic environment in New Zealand

caused footwear sales to fall below the

pcp, partially offsetting the growth of

dairy consumables. Investments made in

both the prior and the current period to

improve productivity enabled the increase

in demand for dairy consumables to be

met efficiently, generating the significant

improvement in the Agri Division EBIT.

In recent years we have invested in

deepening our development capability.

This is enabling us to innovate and move

more quickly with product, process and

equipment development and improvement.

We have introduced – and continue to work

on further developing – milking liners that

provide important productivity gains for

farmers around the world. Our recently

launched Thriver

TM

calf-feeding teat has

been well received in New Zealand and

international markets. We see significant

growth potential for this range over the

next three years.

CHAIR AND CEO’S REVIEW

Graham Leaming

Chief Executive Officer

We have also made very good progress on

developing our manufacturing platform,

enabling f lexibility for future deployment

in-market to meet growth opportunities.

Cash

Group operating cash f low of $32.2 million

was down 12% on the pcp due to a strategic

increase in inventory to mitigate the risks

of interruption to our supply chain from

geopolitical events, uncertainty around

port interruptions in the US and to provide

more time to respond to possible increases

in border tariffs. Despite the impact of

these actions, net debt remains very low, at

$20.4 million, representing just 6% of our

total assets and is 23% below the pcp.

Dividend

Ref lecting the record result and our

expectations for the full year, the Board

declared a 6% increase in the interim

dividend to 9.0 cents per share, imputed

50% (the same level as in the pcp).

The dividend will be paid on 20 March

2025 to shareholders of record at

5pm on 07 March 2025.

Outlook

Global economic conditions are mixed

and geo-political uncertainty continues,

making forecasting more difficult than

usual. However, our business remains

well-placed, with growth from existing

and new products expected to more than

offset the headwinds that persist in some

markets and applications. Based on our

year-to-date results and our expectations

of trading conditions and customer demand

for the remainder of the year, we anticipate

FY25 NPAT to be in the range of $52 to $56

million. In the meantime, we continue to

add to our pipeline of products to sustain

growth in future years, and we remain alert

to acquisition opportunities.

Te am

We are very grateful to our global team

for their ongoing drive to understand,

innovate, develop and manufacture

excellent products that deliver real

value for our customers. We have the

expertise and commitment to execute on

our plans, underscoring our conviction to

deliver ongoing earnings growth for our

shareholders.
