Strong export markets pay off
THURSDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2025 – Foley Wines announces half year result
CASE SALES 296,000 (up 21%)
BOTTLED SALES REVENUE $32,320,000 (up 12.6%)
OPERATING EARNINGS $2,034,000 (up 61.3%)
REPORTED PROFIT AFTER TAX $1,085,000 (down 35.1%)
OPERATING EBITDA $7,908,000 (up 11.4%)
OPERATING CASH FLOW $10,995,000 (up 272%)
Foley Wines has announced growth in case sales, sales revenue and operating earnings in the
Company’s half yearly reported, published today.
Chairman Paul Brock said, “While the broader industry may have struggled with export sales over the
last six months, the work the business has done on establishing strong export markets has paid off.”
The Company reported growth in case sales across all exports markets. “A key strategy has always been
around not being over reliant on any one market and that is represented in our numbers”, said Brock.
“Critically, we have established routes to market for what we produce and are not at the mercy of the
bulk wine market. Bulk wine has never been a sales strategy for us and it contradicts our premiumisation
strategy.”
Profit for the period net of tax attributable for the shareholders was $1,085,000, down 35.1%, impacted
by higher cost of goods from the smaller 2024 vintage and investment in sales support to key customer
to overcome the discounting of New Zealand wines.
“This strategy was critical as it enabled us to increase sales against the trend, and also move through
the higher cost inventory. This will lead us to shipping the 2025 vintage (from Marlborough) on a timely
basis,” said Brock.
The Company reports strong summer periods to date at its winery hospitality venues, Mt Difficulty,
which achieved Gold Qualmark accreditation, and The Runholder, which has now welcomed over local
and international 50,000 visitors.
The Company acquired Toast Martinborough in February 2024, with the 31
st
festival taking place on
the new date of January 21, 2025. The Company reported good attendance and warm, fine weather
across the festival weekend, although a sustained period of wet and cold weather in the lead up, coupled
with a challenging economic environment in Wellington, meant that there remains capacity to grow
ticket sales. “There is a continuing need to find the right balance between compliance and festivalgoer
experience,” said Brock.
The Company expects a higher yield from the 2025 harvest in the Marlborough and Martinborough
regions and slightly lower yield in Central Otago, which is still above the long-term average, with the
market price for Sauvignon Blanc grapes expect to be approximately 15% lower than the 2024 vintage.
“The profitability of the business was always going to be materially affected by the increase in cost of
goods associated with the smaller 2024 vintage, an oversupply of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and
downward pressure on selling prices. We have worked hard to establish strong routes to market for our
branded products. The Company’s inventory is in good shape and will roll on to the 2025 vintage on a
timely basis, which should have a lower cost of goods. This will lead to higher gross margins and,
hopefully with the downward pressure on interest rates, to a much better financial position for the 2026
year,” said Brock.

Mark Turnbull, CEO and Director
On behalf of the Board of Directors of Foley Wines Limited (FWL) I present its operating
and financial results for the six months ended 31 December 2024.
OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Operating profit before revaluations and income tax (“operating earnings”) for the six
months was $2,034,000 compared with $1,261,000 for the previous financial year.
Profit for the period net of tax attributable for the shareholders was $1,085,000, down
35.1% compared with $1,673,000 the previous year.
A summary of market sales is set out below on page 7.
While the broader industry may have struggled with export sales over the last six months,
the work the business has done on establishing strong export markets has paid off. Critically,
we have established routes to market for what we produce and are not at the mercy of the
bulk wine market. Bulk wine has never been a sales strategy for us and it contradicts our
premiumisation strategy.
A key strategy has always been around not being over reliant on any one market and that
is represented in our numbers. New Zealand is a critical market for us. We have a great
relationship with the team at Lion New Zealand, which underpins our New Zealand sales.
At the same time a lot of effort goes into our brand building through our cellar doors and
restaurants, an integral part of our strategy of premiumisation. As outlined at the recent
ASM, over 50,000 people have visited The Runholder in Martinborough.
We have now secured a very strong route to market in China and the first container is being
shipped in February 2025. This is another perfect example of our competitive strategy in
terms of offering a New Zealand solution. There are 13 products in the first order, from
all three regions the business produces wine in.

Our profitability has been affected by two key factors. Firstly, higher cost of goods from
the smaller 2024 vintage. Secondly, we have invested more in sales support to our key
customers to overcome the discounting of New Zealand wines. This strategy was critical
as it enabled us to increase sales against the trend, and also move through the higher cost
inventory. This will lead us to shipping the 2025 vintage (from Marlborough) on a timely
basis.
TOAST MARTINBOROUGH AND BRAND HOMES
Toast Martinborough hosted its 31st iconic food and wine festival on the new date of
January 21, 2025. The summer date paid off with warm, fine weather across the festival
weekend. Attendance was good, although a sustained period of wet and cold weather in the
lead up, coupled with a challenging economic environment in Wellington, meant that there
remains capacity to grow ticket sales. Police, Council, Licensing and Security were very
satisfied with the day, reporting no major incidents. Feedback from festival goers on the
new date, format and overall festival was positive, while also highlighting the continued
need to find the right balance between compliance with the festivalgoer experience. There
was particularly strong feedback on the increased VIP elements of the festival weekend
and there exists the opportunity to build on this elevated experience.
In addition to a calendar of VIP events during Toast Martinborough weekend, The
Runholder has had a very pleasing summer to date with high numbers of satisfied visitors.
The Runholder has also welcomed Lighthouse Gin into its permanent home, with its new
distillery operational and on show for visitors. Additionally, the venue continues to build
momentum as an events and functions destination.
The Mt Difficulty Cellar Door & Restaurant maintains its long term position as an iconic
winery destination in Central Otago, notwithstanding increasing competition from venues
in closer proximity to main tourism centres. The visitor experience from dining to tastings
and surrounds continues to be best in class as evidenced by a large number of positive
visitor reviews and its Gold Qualmark accreditation.

CASH FLOW
Operating cash flow was $10,995,000 for the six months, up from $2,955,000 in the previous
year and $6,978,000 the year prior. This increase is a direct result of an increase in case
sales for the six month period, enabling us to reduce debt by approximately $8,000,000
over the same period.
Capital expenditure was $1,894,000 for the six months, compared with $2,900,000 and
$4,526,000 the previous two years. As outlined in the Annual Report, capital expenditure
would be materially down this year and the majority of the expenditure incurred is on
vineyard redevelopment. This expenditure is critical for the future success of the Company.
2025 HARVEST
The early indication is that there will be a higher yield from the 2025 harvest in the
Marlborough and Martinborough regions and slightly lower yield in Central Otago, which
is still above the long term average. The market price for Sauvignon Blanc grapes in
Marlborough is down on last year’s average grape price of $2,154 per tonne and preliminary
indications are that the price for the 2025 vintage is going to be approximately 15% lower.
OUTLOOK
The profitability of the business was always going to be materially affected by the increase
in cost of goods associated with the smaller 2024 vintage, an oversupply of Marlborough
Sauvignon Blanc and downward pressure on selling prices. As outlined previously we have
worked hard to establish strong routes to market for our branded products. The Company’s
inventory is in good shape and will roll on to the 2025 vintage on a timely basis, which
should have a lower cost of goods. This will lead to higher gross margins and, hopefully
with the downward pressure on interest rates, to a much better financial position for the
2026 year.

PERSONAL NOTE
As advised to the NZX earlier this month, I have decided to finish up with the Company
in April, so this is my final report.
I became involved in the wine industry in 2009 via The New Zealand Wine Fund Ltd,
which was sold to Foley Family Wines (USA) later that year. The wine industry is far more
complicated than it seems. Foremost you are a farmer, which creates challenges in itself.
However, what I know about the farming community in this country is that it is made up
of good people with strong values that are passionate about the land, the environment and
their communities. We have a small but hugely talented team, many of who have been with
me for the journey from the start, and something I will always be proud of.
I wish nothing but the best for the Company and the team for the future.
For and on behalf of the Board of Directors

There have been no changes in accounting policies during the period.
2.1 JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
In preparing these interim financial statements under NZ IFRS the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and
associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under
the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant areas of estimation, assumptions and critical judgements made in the preparation of these financial statements
are consistent with those set out in the 2024 Annual Report.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per share ($) 1.65 (6.21) 2.55
The calculation is based on NZIFRS earnings/(loss) of the Group of $1,085,000 (30Jun24 $(4,081,000); 31Dec23
$1,673,000) and the weighted average of 65,736,148 ordinary shares on issue during the period (30Jun24 65,736,148;
31D e c 23 6 5 , 736 ,14 8).
Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per share ($) 1.65 (6.21) 2.55
The calculation of diluted earnings per share, which is based on profit/(loss) of $1,342,000 (30Jun24 $(3,569,000);
31Dec23 $1,930,000), being profit/(loss) for the year adjusted for the interest on the convertible notes after income tax, and
the weighted average of 73,599,173 ordinary shares on issue during the year (30Jun24 73,599,173; 31Dec23 73,599,173),
becomes anti–dilutive and therefore the diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share.
The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purposes of diluted earnings per share reconciles to the weighted
average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of basic earnings per share as follows:
