Chair’s
Review
Through sheer hard
work, and a bit of
travel, relationships
with key customers
in key markets were
greatly improved
John Strowger
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Chair’s Review
8
I am pleased to report to shareholders that it has
been another successful year at Skellerup.
In the 2025 financial year (FY25), we achieved a net
profit after tax (NPAT) of $54.5 million, off revenues
of $353.5 million and earnings before interest and tax
(EBIT) of $78.0 million.
All these metrics are record results for Skellerup –
again, and in one of the most challenging, volatile and
uncertain business environments that I think any of us
can recollect. This is a very good performance by
our team.
The respective contributions made to earnings from
our two divisions – Agri and Industrial – changed a
little from the previous financial year. In short, Agri
rediscovered its cadence with results significantly
up. Through sheer hard work, and a bit of travel,
relationships with key customers in key markets were
greatly improved. Some exciting new product lines
were developed, which we have high expectations
about for FY26 and beyond.
And as always, the quiet and unglamorous work on
continuous manufacturing improvements has been
maintained. Indeed, we are fortunate that as well as
having alert antennae to customer needs and market
opportunities, our Agri Division’s senior leadership
team also has a high level of technical knowledge,
which, in my experience, is a rare combination.
The Industrial Division continues to flourish, although
its rate of climb in FY25 was not as dramatic as that
seen in Agri. Some development projects of our
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers
(to whom we provide key componentry) were delayed
in response to market uncertainties, and other
customers paused investment decisions in response
to geo-political unpredictability. Notwithstanding
these headwinds, our team remained relentless in its
pursuit of new customers and opportunities and grew
the overall business despite challenging conditions in
several markets.
In both divisions, we are finding that our technical
expertise in new product development is a real
differentiator from our competitors.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Chair’s Review9
Where appropriate, we are increasingly encouraging
the early involvement of our product development
centres in customer marketing initiatives. This, together
with the need to regularly monitor production and
product development at our most significant third-
party manufacturing partner in Vietnam, means that a
number of our people travel – a lot.
While we differentiate our business into the two
divisions, to reflect their different origins, there is an
increasing level of collaboration between the two,
and by each with our product development centres.
This is obviously a healthy trend, which the Board
encourages.
In last year’s report I talked about the need to
further develop ‘in market’ capabilities, to get us
geographically closer to our customers in key markets.
We have, in that regard, continued to develop ‘local’
resources in some key target markets. These initiatives
have been modest so far, which has been appropriate
given the fluid position in several of our key markets,
including obviously the United States (US). To date, our
‘wait and see’ strategy has been vindicated.
The luxury of maintaining this position is highly likely
to come to an end in FY26.
As we told the market in July, Skellerup generates
around 37 per cent of Group revenue from sales in
the US market. Approximately 85 per cent of this
revenue comes from products manufactured at our
own and partner facilities (in equal proportions)
in each of New Zealand (NZ), China and Vietnam.
The tariffs announced during April 2025 (and
subsequent changes) have not materially impacted
our FY25 results.
Plainly, tariffs will increase costs in future financial
years. Over the past four months, we have made
steady progress mitigating the impact of tariffs on our
business. Recent announcements appear to provide
greater certainty on tariffs applicable to products
manufactured at some of our global facilities. If incre-
mental tariff rates of 20 per cent in Vietnam, 30 per
cent in China and 15 per cent in NZ hold, we expect
to offset the impact on future earnings with sales
growth, pricing, costing and manufacturing initiatives.
At the time of writing, the final outcome of tariff
negotiations between China and the US is unknown;
the position appears to change every week. We cannot
determine an appropriate response (from the list of
the offset mechanisms, referred to above) until a final
position has been agreed. But, again, we would hope
to mitigate the impact of the final tariff outcome by
judicious deployment of one or more of the range of
options available to us.
I have talked previously of our preference for
incremental growth and development, as a least-risk
approach. We are, by nature, conservative. However,
some of the future initiatives we may implement (in
particular, if the establishment of in-market capability
is pursued) will be more significant, from both a
financial and operational perspective. In addition,
it will be important to develop new markets for our
products – the establishment of in-market capability
would result in capacity at existing facilities. The
management team is undertaking work in this area
now, in anticipation of this occurrence in the future.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Chair’s Review

In many ways, there is the potential for the next 12
to 36 months to be quite a watershed period for
Skellerup, as we move to best configure the business
for the future. There are exciting times ahead.
Shareholders can be assured that we will be cautious
in the deployment of capital.
Of course, it helps that we have a very strong balance
sheet – net debt at 30 June was $12.4 million (a $3.0
million reduction from FY24). This has enabled the
Board to declare dividends totalling 25.5 cents per
share in FY25 – another record. The increase in
dividend (which amounts to a distribution of 92 per
cent of FY25’s NPAT) is also a reflection of the Board’s
confidence in Skellerup’s future.
You will note substantial climate-related disclosure
included in this report. Our investment and actions
have again resulted in a reduction in the intensity of
our scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Notably,
this year management completed the first edition of
our adaptation plan and an emissions reduction plan
for our largest facility in Christchurch. Implementation
of the actions identified in the emissions reduction plan
will deliver environmental and commercial benefits
for Skellerup.
I have previously (indeed, on several occasions)
cautioned shareholders against an expectation that
these record results can continue ad infinitum. For
the record, I now do so again – although, of course,
we are not planning to fail. Skellerup has never been
guilty of standing still. New process, product or market
initiatives are presented to the Board almost monthly
and there is an encouraging spirit and vigour about
the management team that augurs well for the future.
It would be wrong, though, to single out the senior
leadership team; as they will readily acknowledge,
success is derived from the collective efforts of all
our loyal staff. I take this opportunity to, on behalf of
the Board, sincerely thank each and every one of our
people for their tireless contribution to the FY25 result.
I thank shareholders for their continuing support of
Skellerup, our people and this Board.

CEO's
Review
We are proud of our
growth into a global
enterprise founded
on our heritage as
a New Zealand
headquartered
business
Graham Leaming
Skellerup Annual Report FY25CEO's Review
16
We are pleased to report on an excellent year
for Skellerup. Sales reached $353.5 million,
earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) were
$78.0 million and net profit after tax (NPAT)
was $54.5 million – all record results.
FY25 EBIT is the ninth consecutive record result,
2.6 times higher than what we achieved in FY16.
Delivering sustained growth in controllable earnings
(EBIT) has been enabled and supported by the robust
allocation of financial capital and the focus, quality,
adaptability and tenacity of our team across the world.
Adaptability has certainly been an important
competency in recent years. Having navigated the
challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic
and regional conflicts interrupting freight routes,
significant tariff cost increases became the dominant
issue in the second half of FY25. The United States
market is our largest, with 37% of Group revenue
generated from this market in FY25. We anticipated
these tariff increases (at least to some extent) and
mitigated the impact on FY25 by building inventory
ahead of their imposition and then by moving swiftly
with pricing and cost initiatives.
Also, and importantly – both ahead of and post their
imposition – we have been investing in modernising
our manufacturing capability to build a more flexible
platform capable of in-market deployment.
We are proud of our growth into a global enterprise
founded on our heritage as a New Zealand
headquartered business formed 115 years ago.
Today we have people, facilities and customers
throughout the world not only fuelling the growth
we have enjoyed over the past decade but also
providing local insight and understanding to
enable us to rapidly adapt to changing markets.
Strategy and Structure
Our strategy to design and manufacture
predominantly polymer-based products for use
in applications which demand precision, high
performance and conformance remains unchanged.
Our collective expertise in material science, product
design and manufacturing processes provide
us with a point of difference to deliver valuable,
critical products for our global customers.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25CEO's Review17
The original Red Band
TM
gumboot has been a staple
for generations of New Zealanders, recognised
for its durability, comfort and performance in tough
conditions.
During FY25 – in response to customer feedback and
market insight for a short, light and versatile version
of our iconic and classic Red Band
TM
gumboot – we
launched Red Band
TM
Low. A slip-on, lower-cut boot
offering the same quality materials and construction,
Red Band
TM
Low is tailored for quick jobs around the
home, garden or farm.
To mark the launch, we took the Red Band
TM
Low
to the streets, debuting the boot at the Red Bull
Trolley Race in Auckland. This high-energy, globally
recognised event provided a fun and fitting platform
from which to introduce the new style, aligning the
Red Band
TM
brand with Kiwi ingenuity, community
spirit and everyday adventure. Our involvement
was more than sponsorship – it was hands-on. A
team of Skellerup staff volunteered their time to
design and build the Red Band
TM
Low trolley cart,
which raced down the course in front of thousands of
spectators. Giant inflatable Red Band
TM
boots flanked
the track also, drawing attention and reinforcing
brand presence with impact and humour. It was a
celebration of teamwork, creativity and the iconic
status Red Band
TM
holds in New Zealand culture.
Scan the QR code below to watch the Red Band
TM
Low's racing debut. Red Band
TM
Low reflects our
continued commitment to insight-led innovation
and the evolution of trusted products to suit modern
lifestyles. Looking ahead, we are focused on
developing an expanded lifestyle footwear range
– products designed for how people live, work and
move today. The success of Red Band
TM
Low affirms
that even the most enduring brands can evolve while
staying true to their roots.

Case study
Ensuring our product development initiatives are
focused on a clear understanding of customer needs
is crucial to deploying human and financial capital
for the best return and (obviously) meet customer
requirements. We focus our time on applications
where we have expertise and that capitalise on our
capability to integrate multiple materials. We seek
to rapidly prototype products to offer our customers
with tangible items to evaluate. This builds trust and
confidence, and, with customer commitment or market
conviction, we are then able to convert these quickly
into production.
We continue to operate a business model that is
agile where decision-making and accountability are
with our business unit leaders where they need to
be – close to our customers, suppliers and people.
Our business unit leaders are responsible for the
financial results of their businesses. Their teams
collaborate and work closely with our development
centres, leveraging our intellectual property to deliver
solutions for their customers. Direction and support
are provided by our head office of seven people,
including Tim and me.
Results
A consistent performance over the year delivered a
record FY25 EBIT of $78.0 million, an increase of 7
per cent over the prior corresponding period (pcp).
This was another year of EBIT growth and was again
accompanied by a strong operating cash flow of $66.5
million, despite a planned increase in inventory to
mitigate against the imposition of tariffs by the US.
The Industrial Division recorded its fifth successive
record EBIT of $48.4 million in FY25, an increase of 3
per cent on the pcp.
Growth in FY25 was more modest than in recent
years. Sales of engineered polymer products and
vacuum systems for potable water, wastewater and
industrial control applications were up in the US and
Australia. These applications continue to provide
significant opportunity for growth, and it is an area
we will reinforce with more in-market resource.
They demand products that deliver high performance
and conformance – a perfect fit for our technical
capability. The quality and performance of our
products provide us with a leadership position in
the US, despite the headwinds of tariffs.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25CEO's Review

Smarter digging:
a new application for
Masport vacuum systems
Case study
Establishing a reputation for technical expertise,
innovation, quality and consistency provides a strong
platform for growth. Our Masport vacuum systems
are market leading due to outstanding quality,
performance and because our innovative system
design integrates many discrete components into a
compact footprint which provides significant time and
cost savings for truck system builders on installation.
During FY25 we developed a solution for hydro
excavation, a new application for our vacuum
systems. Hydro excavation is a non-destructive
digging (NDD) process using high-pressure water
to dig channels into the ground. The debris created
is evacuated with the use of a high-powered vacuum
pump. Compared to traditional methods, NDD is less
expensive, less invasive and minimises the risk of
damaging any underground utilities.
Traditionally hydro excavation is performed using
large trucks, but these are expensive and not suitable
for difficult-to-access locations, as the truck size
limits flexibility and manoeuvrability. A customer
approached us seeking a trailer-mounted solution to
overcome this limitation which is exacerbated by the
intensification of construction in urban areas. In less
than three months we engineered, built and delivered
a prototype system utilising our Cobra rotary vane
pump. This system is significantly more compact and
has a lower total weight, with a simplified mechanical
interface and connection between components. Its
design differentiates us from our competitors and
provides our customers with savings on installation
and operation time, and gives them more flexibility
in the use of their trailers. Our first systems are
already in operation and are likely to become a strong
platform for growth in FY26.
Roofing and construction sales grew, spurred by
the installation of solar systems in the UK, more than
offsetting the impact of a soft Australasian construction
market. Marine foam (U-DEK
TM
) sales into the US
began to strengthen in the second half of the year
after a prolonged period of low demand and inventory
adjustment by our customers.
We opened a U-DEK
TM
conversion and distribution
facility in Europe (located in the Netherlands) in April
2025, where we see excellent potential for growth.
The Agri Division bounced back from a softer result in
FY24 to a record FY25 EBIT of $35.3 million, up 15 per
cent on the pcp and an increase of 4 per cent on the
previous record result (achieved in FY23).
Demand for essential consumables for the global
dairy industry was consistently strong throughout
FY25 and in contrast to FY24 where the first half of
the year was impacted by customer destocking.
FY25 sales in the New Zealand market were up 6
per cent and sales in international markets were up
10 per cent. We have long adopted a multi-channel
approach to this market, supplying our food-grade-
compliant consumables and products to original
equipment manufacturers (OEM) of milking platforms
and our own branded products to customers
throughout the world. Growth in future years will
be underpinned by maintaining these key OEM
relationships, innovating our branded products to
deliver more value for farmers, and sales growth in the
developing eastern European and Asian markets.
Subdued demand in the first half of the year in
New Zealand, higher material costs (particularly in
the second half) and reduced production to manage
inventory levels negatively impacted our footwear
contribution in FY25. Countering these impacts, our
limited-edition Pink Band gumboot in support of the
Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand (BCFNZ) was
again successful (raising over $80,000 for the BCFNZ)
and we launched the Red Band
TM
Low. We secured
new international business for our specialty footwear
range as well; this includes fire, forestry, di-electric
and mining.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25CEO's Review19
Skellerup has a long-established reputation for
world-leading design and manufacture of dairy
rubberware consumables which are essential for the
safe production of milk and milk products.
Global demand for food protein is expected to
continue to grow strongly in the years ahead (market
and industry estimates vary from 3 to 8% per
annum). To ensure we retain our current position as
well as capitalise on market growth, we have been
investing in the development of our dairy rubberware
manufacturing platform at our Wigram facility in
Christchurch, New Zealand, and will continue to do so.
During FY25 we commissioned new moulding
and rubber processing equipment used for the
manufacture of milking liners and accessories for
our global customers. By merging the benefits of
modern standard equipment with the decades of
product-specific processing expertise we will remain
a global leader.
The investment we are making not only increases our
capacity and reliability; it also reduces engineered
waste, reject rates, maintenance costs and energy
consumed to ensure our internationally competitive
cost base. Significantly our approach preserves
and enhances our critical intellectual property and
establishes a scalable manufacturing model at
Wigram, allowing for deployment in other locations
throughout the world to meet future market expansion.
Looking Ahead
We continue to invest in developing products, people
and manufacturing capability to ensure that we deliver
earnings growth in the future.
Dairy is one of the cornerstones of Skellerup and the
demand for protein globally continues to grow. Our
focus is to develop innovative products with features
that deliver productivity gains for farmers. Over the
past 18 months we have successfully launched new
high-performance milking liners in the US market and
the first products from our Thriver
TM
calf feeding range
into New Zealand and international markets. We have
also been investing in modernising our manufacturing
capability, which has reduced engineered and
production waste, energy consumption, improved
productivity and provides a platform for possible
future deployment in other markets.
Potable water is another cornerstone application
for Skellerup. We supply products critical to the
security of water infrastructure and performance of
tapware across the world. In late FY25 we launched
a new solution for high-pressure water systems in
New Zealand. Our proprietary fibre-infused rubber
gasket provides water authorities and installers with
a high-performance, compliant and easy-to-install
solution replacing legacy products prone to leakage.
The Red Band
TM
gumboot is synonymous with
Skellerup and in New Zealand is our most widely
recognised and loved brand. During FY25, we
launched the Red Band
TM
Low, tailored for quick
jobs around the home, garden or farm. In FY26, we
will launch an expanded lifestyle footwear range
to provide more customers with the opportunity to
enjoy the quality and performance of rubber footwear
designed and manufactured by Skellerup.
The common element across our activities at Skellerup
is material. Almost 90 per cent of what we sell includes
moulded or extruded polymer (be it black rubber,
silicone rubber, liquid silicone rubber, engineered
plastic or high-performance foam). Our Masport
vacuum pump systems are the exception as they
are not polymer based. However, the wastewater
applications they are used in and the philosophy of
integrating elements to provide customers with a more
valuable solution most certainly are common to how we
do business across the Skellerup Group. In FY25, we
launched a solution for hydro excavation, also known
as non-destructive digging. We see excellent growth
potential for this application over the next few years.
Investing to improve
productivity and agility
Case study
Skellerup Annual Report FY25CEO's Review
20
We fund these organic growth opportunities and
capability investments from the consistently strong
operating cash flow we generate. This cash flow and
the very low level of debt we carry offer possibilities
for acquisitions as well. We look for businesses that
complement our existing capability, expertise, market
application and geographic footprint. We also look for
businesses that may provide us with an opportunity
to accelerate our growth plans in markets where we
have a smaller position and consider will expand more
rapidly in the future. However, our focus remains tight,
and we will not deviate from our guiding parameters
and return expectations.
Climate Reporting
This Annual Report includes reporting under the
New Zealand Climate-related Disclosure Regime.
We acknowledge the impact of climate change and
our responsibility to seek and implement solutions
for Skellerup.
During FY25, we reviewed the risks and opportunities
we identified and reported on in FY24. We did not
identify any changes to what we determined last
year. Many of Skellerup’s products are, and will
continue to be, important to responding and adapting
to the impacts of climate change. This year we also
developed transition plans to mitigate the impacts
of climate change on our business and built an
emissions-reduction plan for our dairy rubberware
facility in Christchurch, New Zealand.
The intensity of scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions reduced for the fourth consecutive year in
FY25. As we grow our business this will not always
be easy to achieve, but, as noted in our emissions-
reduction plan, we have several initiatives that will

Reducing Potable
Water leakage
Case study
Supplying engineered products for potable water
applications that demand high performance and
conformance to demanding standards is a significant
global focus for Skellerup.
In late FY24 we began a project with a leading
infrastructure distributor in New Zealand to deliver
a market-first solution for high-pressure potable
watermain gaskets to address a long-standing
industry issue where pipe joins using legacy fabric-
reinforced gaskets were susceptible to leakage.
Leveraging our deep expertise in polymer
development and understanding of industry standards,
we engineered a custom-moulded gasket with a
unique fibre-infused formulation that not only meets
potable water and material testing regulations but also
enhances on-site installation and improves sealing
performance. The product was launched in June 2025,
and with major water authorities in New Zealand
rapidly approving the gasket, it is now on the path to
becoming the nationally endorsed solution.

Innovation on farm:
boosting productivity
with Thriver
TM
Case study
In FY25, Skellerup deepened its commitment to
practical on-farm innovation with the launch of
Thriver
TM
– a new generation of feeding solutions
designed to support animal health, streamline rearing
practices, and improve productivity for farmers.
Developed in New Zealand by our engineering
teams in Christchurch and Auckland, in collaboration
with technical specialists and calf rearers, Thriver
TM
responds directly to the challenges faced during calf
rearing – a critical, high-pressure period for dairy
and livestock operations.
Manufactured at our Christchurch facility, the
Thriver
TM
range includes both pull-through and
screw-on teats, offering flexibility to suit different
feeder systems and farmer preferences. While the
designs differ in fitting specifications, both deliver
consistent performance, hygienic handling, and a
strong focus on calf comfort and health.
Thriver
TM
incorporates a concave tip design that
helps the teat slit seal after feeding, reducing leakage,
minimising milk wastage, and keeping feeders
cleaner. The shell is durable, yet soft, developed
through ozone, ultraviolet and tensile testing, to
ensure long-lasting use and calf-friendly texture.
The range was rigorously tested on farms during
development, making sure that every feature – from
flow rate to fit – met the demands of daily use.
The market response has been extremely positive
and exceeded our expectations, with farmers noting
strong calf acceptance, reduced mess and handling
time, and the ease of integrating Thriver
TM
into
existing feeding routines.
The Thriver
TM
range sets a strong foundation for future
development – where design, durability and animal
well-being go hand in hand. Thriver
TM
development
represents Skellerup’s broader approach to
innovation: solving real-world problems with smart,
practical design.
Our team of 800-plus is based across the globe in
New Zealand, Australia, the USA, China, the UK
and Europe.
This geographic spread brings with it a diverse range
of skills alongside vast experience, broad expertise
and new ideas which we leverage across the Group.
Recognising sustained contribution
As befits the heritage of being a business founded 115
years ago, we have many long-serving employees.
During FY25, we celebrated some notable milestones:
2 employees reached 50 years of service, a remarkable
achievement of sustained contribution and loyalty; a
further 2 employees passed 40 and 2 passed 30 years’
service; and 1 employee reached the 25-year mark.
The outstanding service of these employees was
honoured at on-site functions around the world.
Prioritising health and safety
The safety of our people and others from accidental
harm in our workplaces remains our highest priority.
All our practices and programmes are established
with the objective of keeping our people safe and free
from workplace injury. Our shared objective is zero
harm, and we constantly seek and make improvements
in pursuit of this objective.
During FY25, we added a global programme of
external health and safety (H&S) audits to complement
our existing practice of internal and peer reviews.
The independent and expert perspective brought by
external reviews provides an opportunity to highlight
risks that may not otherwise be detected and enables
us to take additional actions to eliminate or mitigate
any new risks the reviews identify.
We have also introduced an internal Quarterly
Group Safety Bulletin. The Bulletin includes sharing
business unit results and trends, highlighting and
profiling common or significant incidents and near
hits experienced across the Group. This prompts
our teams to consider similar risks and, importantly,
elimination or mitigation actions to prevent similar
occurrences on their sites. The response to the
Bulletin has been excellent with several improvements
implemented at our sites across the world because
of the information shared.
We adapt and
change to meet
the needs of
our customers
and our people
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Skellerup’s People
22
Skellerup’s
People
A key element of H&S at Skellerup continues to be
the active H&S Committees we have at every site
throughout the Group. They meet monthly, and have an
annual plan of activities and improvements including a
review of hazards, designed to keep their workplaces
safe. Every H&S Committee reports the minutes of
their meetings to the CEO and the Skellerup Board
Health & Safety Committee.
For our most significant sites, we have been gradually
implementing ISO 45001 certification. This provides
an internationally recognised framework for managing
occupational H&S risks. Seven of our global sites are
certified, including our two largest in Christchurch,
New Zealand and Jiangsu, China. We plan to certify
three further sites in FY26.
Oversight of our H&S programmes is provided by the
Board’s H&S Committee, who meet four times each
year. In FY25, one of these meetings was held at our
dairy rubberware facility in Christchurch, one at our
Ultralon foam facility in Auckland and another at our
Skellerup Rubber Services facility also in Auckland;
this provided the opportunity for Board members to
observe activities, meet and discuss with our managers
and teams, and assure themselves of our plans and
behaviours. In addition to the oversight provided by
this Committee, a Group H&S Report is submitted by
the CEO and reviewed at every Board meeting.
Ultimately, the success of our programmes is
measured by the number of injuries and incidents that
occur. Our total injury rate
1
(TIR) increased slightly
during FY25, as shown in the table on page 25; this
follows consecutive reductions in the prior two years.
We complete and review incident reports for every
injury, medical treatment and near hit. The emphasis
of the report is on what actions will be implemented
to initially eliminate and, if not possible, reduce
or mitigate the risk of recurrence. While we are
disappointed with every injury and the increase in
TIR in FY25, we are pleased that for the seventh
successive year, we did not record any serious-harm
injuries or fatalities. We remain committed to leading,
educating and investing time and resources in
protecting our people and others from accidental harm
in our workplaces.
Working arrangements
We recognise and embrace the opportunity to retain
our best and attract new talent by offering differing
employment arrangements including various shift
patterns, permanent part-time and hybrid roles.
The key criterion is always that the arrangement is
both good for Skellerup and good for the employee.
We adapt and change to meet the needs of our
customers and our people and to optimise returns
for our shareholders. Some of our sites operate
four-day, ten-hour shifts, and have differing start and
finish times to more effectively and efficiently meet
the needs of customers and provide better working
arrangements for our people.
1 The total injury rate (TIR) is the total number of serious harm injuries, lost-time injuries and medically treated injuries multiplied
by 2,000 (the estimated annual hours worked by an individual), divided by the actual year-to-date hours worked, annualised
and expressed as a percentage. The TIR represents the percentage likelihood of being injured on each site. Zero TIR is the
benchmark that all sites are striving to achieve. Lost time injury rate (LTIR) is an equivalent measure for lost-time injuries only.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Skellerup’s People23
Mechanisation and automation of manufacturing
activities and changes in customer demand impact on
the way we work also. This means that as we grow our
business, the number of people we need increases at
a slower rate and the make-up of our teams changes.
We need more people to design, implement and
support new products and equipment, more people
to secure new business and service customers but
smaller increases in operating personnel. We have
had no large-scale redundancies within the Group
over the past decade. At the end of FY25 our global
team stood at 809 (FY24: 808 people).
Supporting our people and partners
We operate a global business in a rapidly changing
world. Maintaining our reputation is critical to our
success. Each year, we provide training on the
behaviours that are required as outlined in our Code
of Ethics, as well as in our key Policies including
Modern Slavery, Diversity and Inclusion, and
Information Security. In FY25, this training was again
delivered by a video prepared by the CEO and CFO,
with local business leaders initiating subsequent
discussion including how staff respond and report
in the event they do witness or suspect behaviour
inconsistent with our Code of Ethics and Policies.
Skellerup’s global footprint includes working with our
manufacturing partners and international suppliers.
These partners and suppliers are important to
the successful delivery of critical products to our
customers. Our systems, processes and people ensure
our standards are met in all respects and include
seeking assurance that our supply chain is free of
modern slavery. During FY25, we again sought and
received confirmation of compliance with our Supplier
Code of Conduct from our leading global suppliers
and we did not receive any reports of, nor identify any
instances of, modern slavery within our supply chain.
A diverse workplace
We do not discriminate on the basis of gender or
gender identity, race, ethnicity, cultural background,
physical ability or attributes, age, sexual orientation,
religious or political beliefs. A breakdown of our
gender composition for our management group is
shown on page 31 and our entire team is shown on
page 5. Our 809-strong team identifies as 52 per cent
male and 48 per cent female.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Skellerup’s People

Cyber security
We complete an annual cyber security risk assessment
of all businesses within the Skellerup Group to
ensure our platforms and security are at the required
standard and, if there is any gap, to implement a
remediation plan to eliminate. We also provide
regular online cyber security training, supplemented
by periodic internal audits to make sure our control
environment is working effectively and identify where
improvements are needed.
Our team
We are proud of the skill, commitment, tenacity and
adaptability our people bring to continue to improve
our business to deliver high-performing and quality
products for our customers and excellent returns for
our shareholders.

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance

Corporate
Governance
This section of the Annual Report outlines our
corporate governance structures and processes,
and how they have been applied during the year.
This Corporate Governance statement was approved
by the Board of Skellerup Holdings Limited (Skellerup,
or the Company) on 20 August 2025. The information
contained in this Corporate Governance statement is
current as at that date.
Skellerup’s Board and management are committed to
achieving high standards of corporate governance.
We believe this is central to the effective management
of the business and to maintaining the confidence
of our shareholders. The Board and management
are focused on ensuring the long-term success of
the Company and its subsidiaries (Group) and are
committed to building long-term shareholder value.
The Board regularly reviews and assesses Skellerup’s
governance policies, procedures and practices to
ensure they are appropriate and effective. Skellerup
has reported against the recommendations of the
updated NZX Corporate Governance Code dated 31
January 2025 (the NZX Code) in respect of the financial
year ended 30 June 2025 (FY25). Skellerup is in full
compliance with all recommendations of the NZX
Code for FY25.
Skellerup’s Constitution and each of the Charters and
Policies referred to in this Corporate Governance
statement are available on the Governance section of
the Company’s website at www.skellerupholdings.com.
Our compliance with the NZX Code for the financial
year ended 30 June 2025 is detailed below under
headings for each of the eight Principles of the
NZX Code.
Principle 1 – Ethical Standards
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 1.
Skellerup's Directors set high standards of ethical
behaviour and require members of the management
team to conduct themselves similarly. The Directors
hold management accountable for delivering these
standards throughout the Group.
Skellerup’s Code of Ethics provides a framework of
minimum standards of ethical behaviour according
to which Directors, management and all employees
of the Group are expected to conduct themselves.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance29
The Code of Ethics outlines the Company’s
expectations for all personnel. It includes consideration
of conflicts of interest, conduct, compliance with
all applicable policies, laws and regulations,
confidentiality, the offering and acceptance of gifts and
the use of the Group’s property, assets and corporate
information. Skellerup’s Code of Ethics is reviewed
annually by the Board of Directors; the last review
being conducted in June 2025.
Skellerup communicates its Code of Ethics and where
to find it to Directors and employees, explaining the
Code’s purpose and the mechanism for reporting any
unethical behaviour. During FY25, the CEO and
CFO prepared a video presentation on the Code of
Ethics, together with other key Group policies.
This presentation was made available to all employees
to be trained on the Code of Ethics and other key
Group policies during June 2025. Group and Business
Managers then confirmed training attendance back
to the CFO. The Code of Ethics is available to all
employees on Skellerup’s website.
Under Skellerup’s Code of Ethics, contributions to
political parties are expressly prohibited.
Skellerup’s procedure for reporting and dealing with
any concerns in respect of the conduct of its Directors
or employees is set out in its Whistleblower Policy.
Skellerup has not received any reports of serious
instances of unethical behaviour during FY25.
Skellerup is committed to ensuring its Directors and
employees understand its policy on and rules for
dealing in Skellerup ordinary shares or any other
quoted financial products issued by Skellerup or
derivatives thereof. Skellerup’s Financial Products
Trading Policy notes that insider trading is always
prohibited and provides examples of material
information to assist Directors and employees
with compliance. It imposes further restrictions on
Directors and senior management by permitting
trading only in prescribed trading windows (unless an
exemption is granted by the Board) and requires such
persons to seek consent for any trading. The policy
is available on the Company’s website. Details of
Directors’ shareholdings as at 30 June 2025 are set out
in the Shareholder Information section on page 120.
Principle 2 – Board Composition and
Performance
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 2.
The Board has adopted a written Board Charter, which
sets out the roles and responsibilities of the Board and
distinguishes and discloses the respective roles and
responsibilities of the Board and management.
Written agreements have been entered into for all
Director appointments since 2017.
The members of Skellerup’s Board collectively
provide the broad range of strategic, business,
commercial and financial skills and knowledge,
and the independence and experience required
to lead and govern the Company effectively.
The Board regularly reviews its performance and
composition to ensure it has the range of capabilities
required.
The Board recognises that a skills matrix can
assist with identifying and assessing existing
Directors’ skills and competencies as well as new
skills and competencies which may be needed to
meet Skellerup’s future governance requirements.
The skills and experience the Board has determined
are important to Skellerup’s strategic direction, and
those held by the current Directors, are shown on
pages 26 and 27.
The maximum and minimum number of elected
Directors and the procedures for their appointment,
retirement and re-election at Annual Meetings are
set out in Skellerup’s Board Charter, Nomination
Committee Charter, Constitution and the NZX Listing
Rules. All Directors must retire by rotation and, if
eligible, may stand for re-election at the third annual
meeting, or three years after their last election,
whichever is longer. Any Director appointed by the
Board since the previous annual meeting must also
retire and is eligible for re-election.
Currently, the Board comprises five non-executive,
independent Directors and one non-executive
Director. The independence of Directors is
reconsidered at least annually. Skellerup’s Board most
recently reviewed each Director’s independence at
its Board Meeting as at 30 June 2025. Having regard
to the NZX Listing Rules and the NZX Code, five of the
six non-executive Directors have been determined
to be independent. David Mair is not considered
independent as he is the former CEO of the Company,
having resigned on 31 March 2024. Mr Mair continues
on the Board as a non-executive director. None of the
factors in Table 2.4 of the NZX Code applies to any
of the independent Directors. The Directors and the
Board have specifically considered the applicability of
Code Factor 2 from Table 2.4 of the NZX Code, which
applies where a director derives a substantial portion
of his or her annual revenue from Skellerup. Each
independent Director has confirmed to the Board that
they are satisfied that they are independent under the
NZX Listing Rules and Corporate Governance Code,
specifically having considered the requirements of
Code Factor 2 at a meeting held on 29 May 2025.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance
30
The Board Charter requires that the Chair be an
independent, non-executive Director and that the
roles of the Chair and CEO are separate. The Chair
is currently an independent, non-executive Director
and is also considered to be independent of the CEO.
The table on page 33 shows each Director’s Board
Committee memberships, the number of meetings of
the Board and its Committees held during the year and
the number of meetings attended by each Director.
Minutes are taken of all Board and Committee meetings.
The Board is responsible for managing conflicts
of interest identified by Directors. Each Director is
responsible for minimising the possibility of any
conflict of interest as regards their involvement with
the Company by restricting involvement in other
businesses that would likely lead to a conflict of
interest. A Directors’ interests register is maintained
by the Company. Particulars of the entries made in
the interests register during FY25 are disclosed in the
Shareholder Information section on page 120.
Directors are not required to own shares in the
Company, although five of the six Directors are
currently shareholders of Skellerup. Refer to page 120
for details of the current shareholdings of Directors.
Board procedures ensure that all Directors have
the information needed to contribute to informed
discussions and decisions consistently and to carry
out their duties effectively. Senior management makes
direct presentations to the Board as required to
give the Directors an understanding of management
strategies, priorities, style and capabilities. Directors
also visit Skellerup’s facilities throughout the world as
part of their ongoing engagement to ensure they are
familiar with all aspects of the business of the Group.
Training is made available to Directors, and in FY25
Directors participated in training on a wide range of
issues.
Skellerup has a written Diversity and Inclusion
Policy in place. Diversity at Skellerup includes (but
is not limited to) gender, race, ethnicity and cultural
background, disability and physical capability, age,
sexual orientation, and religious or political belief.
A gender composition table of the Skellerup Directors,
officers and management is included on the following
page, and a graph for the Group’s entire workforce
is on page 5. Skellerup maintains a merit-based
environment which provides equal opportunity for
development and recognition based on performance
and a flexible and inclusive work environment that
values differences that create value. Skellerup
equitably remunerates equivalent roles.
Skellerup’s Diversity Policy requires measurable
objectives to be set by the Board and reviewed
annually. For FY25 Skellerup set measurable
objectives and reports progress as follows:
1. No discrimination
Skellerup aims to operate an inclusive workplace
where employees are not discriminated against
on the grounds of gender, gender identity, sexual
orientation, colour, race/ethnicity/cultural background,
disability, age, or religious beliefs. Group and
business unit leaders are required to confirm that no
such discrimination has taken place within their areas
of responsibility, as part of the annual remuneration
review process, which takes place annually in June
and July.

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance31
In FY25, Skellerup adopted a target of zero complaints/
findings of harassment, discrimination or victimisation.
No such incidents were reported in FY25.
2. Flexible workplace environment
Skellerup aims to provide a workplace that
accommodates flexible working arrangements to
encourage diversity in our workforce. Our goal is to
ensure that workplace arrangements do not impede
the retention of existing employees or the attraction
of new employees. Supported by a Working from
Home Policy, flexible workplace arrangements
are implemented throughout the Group where
suitable, to meet the needs of the business and the
circumstances of employees. These arrangements
include reviewing shift working hours for operating
activities and part-time employment and working-
from-home arrangements for certain roles. In recent
years, Skellerup moved operating hours at several
manufacturing sites to four-day, ten-hour shifts, which
more effectively and efficiently meet the needs of our
business and provide an additional clear non-working
day for our people. We plan to consider similar
arrangements for other facilities in the future. As of
30 June 2025, the Group employed 41 employees on
permanent part-time arrangements and 68 employees
on hybrid working-from-home arrangements.
3. Pay equity
Skellerup is committed to ensuring all employees
are paid equitably. We deploy a skills-based model
in our manufacturing facilities, which strengthens the
effectiveness of our teams and ensures employees
are rewarded in accordance with the skill level they
achieve and maintain. At each annual salary review,
our target is for there to be nil equity remuneration
issues arising. At the last annual salary review in
June and July 2025, business unit leaders reviewed
and confirmed all roles were clearly defined, and
that remuneration was based on relevant skills,
experience, responsibility, effort and performance,
independent of the person in the role. No equity issues
arose from this review. Leaders are also empowered
to monitor performance, development and changes in
the scope of roles so that remuneration changes can be

recommended and considered outside of the annual
salary review. Recruitment for new or replacement
roles is based on documented job descriptions, with
the assistance of external agencies to establish a
shortlist of candidates that meet the requirements of
each role and to provide an insight into the market
level of remuneration for each role.
Principle 3 – Board Committees
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 3.
The Board has appointed five Board Committees to
assist in carrying out its responsibilities effectively,
each of which operates under a written charter.
The Board regularly reviews the performance of
each standing Committee against its specific written
charter. The delegated responsibilities, powers and
authorities of these Committees are described below.
1. Audit Committee
The Audit Committee comprises four non-executive,
independent Directors, one of whom is appointed
as Chair. Other Directors are permitted to attend
meetings of the Audit Committee. The CEO, the Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) and representatives of the
external auditors attend by standing invitation of the
Audit Committee; unless the Chair requests otherwise.

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance
34
The Audit Committee oversees the quality and
integrity of external financial reporting, including the
accuracy, completeness and timeliness of financial
statements. The Company seeks to provide clear,
balanced and objective financial statements and
recognises the value of providing shareholders with
financial and non-financial information, including
environmental, economic and social sustainability risk
management, as reported in this Annual Report.
Management accountability for the integrity of the
Company’s financial reporting is reinforced in writing
by the certification of the CEO and CFO to the Board
that the financial statements fairly present the financial
results and position of the Group.
2. Non-financial Reporting
The Company combines its non-financial
reporting within its Annual Report, recognising the
interdependence of financial and non-financial matters
(including climate-related matters) to the long-term
sustainability of the business. Non-financial reporting
disclosures (other than scope 1 and 2 greenhouse
gas (GHG) inventories) are not subject to external
review. These disclosures are compiled by employees
with the appropriate knowledge and experience and
reviewed and approved by the CFO and CEO.
The Company continues to develop its climate-
related disclosures in line with the mandatory climate
reporting under the Climate-related Disclosures (CRD)
regime in New Zealand established by the External
Reporting Board (XRB). For the Group’s FY25 Climate
Statements, see page 42.
The Company continues to develop its wider
Environmental, Social Sustainability and Governance
(ESG) Framework and to pursue ESG initiatives on a
prudent and commercial basis.
3. Continuous Disclosures
The Company has a written Continuous Disclosure
Policy and clear processes in place to ensure
compliance with the continuous disclosure
requirements that come with being a listed company.
This policy is reviewed annually and circulated to
Directors and managers, along with further guidance
on the application of the policy and additional
reminders about its purpose and importance.
Continuous disclosure is a standing agenda item
for each Board meeting. At each meeting, the Board
considers whether there is any relevant material
information that should be disclosed to the market and
minutes the outcome of that consideration, whether or
not any disclosure obligation is identified.
Principle 5 – Remuneration
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 5.
This section outlines the Group’s overall remuneration
governance and strategy for the year ended 30
June 2025 and provides detailed information on the
remuneration arrangements in place for the
Directors, CEO and other executives. This disclosure
is aligned with the NZX Remuneration Reporting
Template for Listed Issuers published by the NZX in
December 2023.
Remuneration Governance
Skellerup has a Board Remuneration Committee
comprised of a minimum of three independent non-
executive Directors, one of whom is elected by the
Board as chair of the Committee. Membership of
the Remuneration Committee and the attendance
of members at Committee meetings are listed on
page 33. Management only attends Remuneration
Committee meetings by invitation.
The Remuneration Committee operates under a
written Charter, outlining its membership, procedures,
responsibilities and authority. The Remuneration
Committee Charter is available to view on the
Company’s website.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible for:
• Reviewing and recommending changes to the
remuneration structure and policy of the Group,
including Directors’ fees,
• Reviewing the remuneration packages of the
CEO and senior managers reporting directly to
the CEO, and
• Reviewing the Group Diversity and Inclusion Policy,
the diversity objectives and achievement against
these objectives.
Skellerup has a written Remuneration Policy in
place, which is available on the Company’s website.
The Remuneration Policy outlines the remuneration
principles that apply to the Directors and senior
managers of Skellerup to ensure that remuneration
practices are fair and appropriate for the Group, and
that there is a clear link between remuneration and
performance. The guiding principles of this policy are
that the remuneration of Directors, officers and managers
will be transparent, fair and reasonable to meet the
needs of the business and shareholders. Skellerup does
not make discretionary sign-on, retention or departure
payments to incoming or existing employees (including
non-executive Directors).
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance35
The Remuneration Policy may be amended from
time to time and is reviewed at least annually by
the Remuneration Committee. The Group has also
established several additional key policies to support
a strong governance framework.
Disclosure of employees (other than employees who
are Directors) who received remuneration and any
other benefits in their capacity as employees, the
value of which was or exceeded $100,000 per year, in
brackets of $10,000, as required by the Companies Act
1993 is included on page 38.
No loans or other forms of financial assistance have
been provided to the CEO or any other executives or
non-executive Directors of the Skellerup Group.
Executive and Employee Remuneration
Executive and employee remuneration may be
comprised of a fixed and at-risk component,
depending on the scope and complexity of the role.
Fixed Annual Remuneration
Fixed annual remuneration includes base salary
and employer superannuation contributions, where
provided. Base salary is determined by the scale
and complexity of the role. The Group undertakes
remuneration reviews annually and as needed,
informed by an assessment of relative external market
data and organisational context.
Short-term Incentives (STI)
Senior executives’ remuneration comprises a
combination of fixed and at-risk components. Payment
of the at-risk component is linked to exceeding
the previous best annual financial performance in
the areas of the business for which each executive
is responsible or, in some circumstances, the
achievement of specific targets. The goals and targets
set in each category are specific, objective and
measurable, such that there is an accurate judgement
each year as to whether the goal has been achieved or
not. The STI earned is paid as cash remuneration.
The CEO approves (with notification to the
Remuneration Committee) the annual STI payments
for all entitled staff other than the CEO and CFO. STI
payments are fully accrued in the year to which they
relate. The Board approves the annual STI payments
for the CEO and CFO and their targets for the year
ahead.
In addition to the STI scheme, ad-hoc bonus payments
may be made to any employee where certain
outcomes are considered to positively impact the
performance of the Group. These payments are only
made with the express approval of the CEO.
Performance, Development and Remuneration Review
Performance and development reviews are completed
to inform decisions around remuneration adjustments.
The remuneration review process also includes
consideration of market information and, in the case of
employees under Collective Employment Agreements,
negotiations with unions.
CEO Remuneration
The CEO’s remuneration consists of fixed
remuneration and variable (at-risk) remuneration in
the form of a short-term incentive (STI) and long-term
incentive (LTI) scheme. This structure is reviewed
annually by the Remuneration Committee and is
subject to approval by the Board.
Total remuneration paid to the CEO in FY25 and
prior financial years, together with a description of
the share-based LTI scheme in place for the CEO, is
detailed below.
David Mair resigned as CEO on 31 March 2024 and
was replaced by Graham Leaming on 1 April 2024.
The disclosures below cover the period each served
as CEO of Skellerup.
Fixed Annual Remuneration
The fixed annual remuneration of the CEO
includes base salary and employer superannuation
contributions, where provided. Base salary is
benchmarked against comparable listed companies.
The latest benchmarking exercise was completed by
the Board in March 2024.

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance
36
Short-term Incentives (STI)
The CEO’s at-risk remuneration includes an
STI scheme that is directly linked to the overall
financial and operational performance of the Group.
Achievement of the STI is connected to exceeding
the previous best annual financial performance of the
Group under the CEO’s leadership, measured based
on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) adjusted
to exclude certain non-recurring items of income and
expense and changes in the composition of the Group,
such as acquisitions and divestments. The targets set
are specific, objective and measurable, such that there
is an accurate judgement each year as to whether the
target has been achieved or not. The STI earned is
paid as a taxable cash bonus. As the STI scheme is a
profit share scheme, there is no cap on the maximum
amount payable under the arrangement.
The FY25 STI is the amount assessed as earned in FY25
but will be paid in FY26 as the assessment of the STI
performance was made after the FY25 reporting date.
Long-term Incentives (LTI)
The Company operates a LTI scheme for the benefit of
the CEO and other senior executives. The LTI scheme
is intended to reward and retain key employees
(including the CEO), drive longer-term performance
and decision-making, and align incentives with the
interests of shareholders.
The LTI scheme is a share option scheme which
permits the Board to grant options to acquire fully paid
shares in the Company. Upon exercise, option holders
will be issued one share per option exercised. The
exercise price is payable by the option holder before
shares are issued or transferred. Alternatively, on
exercise, option holders may direct the Company to
facilitate a cashless (net settled) exercise by issuing to
the option holder, such number of shares as is equal to
the difference between the market value of a share and
the exercise price per option, multiplied by the number
of options being exercised, and divided by the market
value of a share. The most recent grant was made in
October 2024. Details of options granted in the current
and preceding financial years are shown below.

Graham Leaming was granted 300,000 options on
3 October 2024, at an exercise price of NZ$4.85
per share. The exercise price was the weighted
average share price on the twenty trading day period
preceding issuance. The options will be exercisable
in the period beginning on 1 September 2027 and
ending on 1 November 2027.
Note 1
Graham Leaming was granted 800,000 options on 1
November 2022, at an exercise price of NZ$5.17 per
share. The exercise price was the weighted average
share price on the twenty trading day period preceding
issuance. The options were exercisable in the period
beginning on 1 September 2024 and ending on 1
November 2024. As the Skellerup share price was
below the exercise price upon vesting, these options
were not exercised and lapsed on 1 November 2024.
CEO/Worker Ratio
The CEO/worker ratio represents the number of times
greater the CEO's remuneration is than an employee
paid at the median of all Group employees. As of 30
June 2025, the CEO’s base salary at $725,000 was
10.1 times that of the median employee at $71,652
per annum (30 June 2024 – the CEO’s base salary at
$725,000 was 10.9 times that of the median employee
at $66,500 per annum).

Gender Pay Gap
The gender pay gap measures the median base
remuneration between men and women regardless
of the nature of work. The Group operates in several
regions, which makes comparisons between
employees in different regions less meaningful.
Skellerup, as a New Zealand-listed Company, has
measured the gender pay gap of its New Zealand
workforce, which represents 41% of its total workforce
at 30 June 2025 (30 June 2024 – 40%).
As at 30 June 2025, the gender pay gap is 11.3% (30
June 2024 – 9.6%). That is, women earn $0.89 for every
$1 that men earn. The median pay is $75,020 (FY24 –
$70,300) for the Group’s New Zealand employees.
Remuneration Bands
The above table notes the number of employees
or former employees of the Group, not being
Directors, who, during the reporting period, received
remuneration and any other benefits in their capacity
as employees, the value of which was or exceeded
$100,000 per annum, in brackets of $10,000. The Group
paid remuneration above $100,000 to 186 current and
former employees in FY25 (FY24 - 169 current and
former employees).
Directors’ Remuneration
Non-executive Directors’ remuneration is paid in the
form of Director’s fees and non-executive Directors
have no entitlement to any performance-based
remuneration or to participate in any share incentive
schemes. Additional fees are paid to the Chairs of the
Board, Audit Committee and Sustainability Committee
to reflect the additional responsibilities of these
positions. Skellerup does not pay retirement benefits to
non-executive Directors.
The fee pool available for remuneration payable to
non-executive Directors is approved by shareholders.
The current approved annual fee pool available for
the payment of non-executive Directors is $850,000.
This was approved by shareholders at the Annual
Meeting on 24 October 2024. Skellerup’s Board
comprised five non-executive independent Directors
and one non-executive Director at the time the fee pool
was approved. In FY25, total fees paid to non-executive
Directors amounted to $750,000. Details of the Directors’
remuneration are shown on the following page.

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance39
The Remuneration Committee may commission
studies and surveys and obtain external advice on the
remuneration structure and policy of the Company,
including Directors’ fees, and determine whether those
fees are appropriate. The Board and Remuneration
Committee seek to set aggregate remuneration for
non-executive Directors at a level which provides the
Company with the ability to attract and retain Directors
of the appropriate calibre and experience at a cost
which represents fair value for shareholders.
Non-executive Directors are encouraged but are not
required to hold shares in the Company.
Principle 6 – Risk Management
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 6.
The Board is responsible for the Group’s risk
management and internal control system. Each
Director has a sound understanding of the key risks
faced by Skellerup. The Board reviews the Group’s
Risk Management Report prepared by the CEO and
management on a semi-annual basis and specific
items including the Group’s approach to managing
information systems risks are monitored monthly.
The Risk Management Report identifies key risks
and strategies to manage these risks. Climate
risk reporting is integrated into the Group’s risk
management systems. Climate risks are reviewed
by the Board at least annually, with significant
risks reported as part of the Group’s key risks.
The Sustainability Committee assists the Board in
setting appropriate sustainability strategies aligned
to Group objectives.
The Board ensures that adequate external insurance
coverage is in place appropriate to the Company’s size
and risk profile. The appropriateness of this coverage
is considered annually by the Audit Committee, with
recommendations presented by management.
There were no material information security breaches
in FY25, and the preceding year.
The Audit Committee monitors the Company’s system
of internal financial control with the aid of reviews and
reports prepared by external providers and periodic
certification by the CEO and CFO. This system
includes clearly defined policies controlling treasury
operations and capital expenditure authorisation.
The CFO is responsible for ensuring that all operations
within the Group adhere to the Board-approved
financial control policies.
The H&S Committee leads and monitors H&S
management within the Group. The Company
operates a comprehensive H&S framework across
all its businesses to identify and address workplace
hazards and to monitor and review compliance with
H&S policies and procedures. Board review of H&S is
a priority and is facilitated by both the activities of the
H&S Committee and the receipt and review of H&S
reports at each Board meeting. This review is further
facilitated by regular visits to key sites, providing the
opportunity to engage and query staff at all levels
of the Group. In FY25, the Board visited key sites in
Christchurch and Auckland.
Details of Skellerup’s key H&S risks and its
performance for FY25 are included in the People
section on pages 22 to 25.
Principle 7 – Auditors
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 7.
The Board ensures the quality and independence of
the external audit process, which culminates in the
audit report issued in relation to the annual financial
statements.
The Board has an established framework for
Skellerup’s relationship with its external auditor, and
to ensure independence of the Company’s external
auditor is maintained, a written Audit Independence
Policy has been implemented.

The Audit Independence Policy sets out guidelines
to be followed to ensure that related assurance and
other services provided by Skellerup’s auditor are not
perceived as conflicting with the independent role of
the external auditor. The Audit Committee approves
any non-audit services that are provided by the
external auditor. Management and the external auditor
are invited to attend meetings of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee meets with the external auditor
without any representatives of management present at
least twice per year.
Skellerup’s external auditor is Ernst & Young (EY).
EY were first appointed as auditors of the Company in
2002. The Board annually reviews the appointment of
the external auditors. The EY audit partner responsible
for the Skellerup audit was appointed during FY23
and will act for a maximum of five years. The EY audit
partner attends the Annual Meetings and is available
to answer questions relating to the audit. The EY
audit partner attended the 2024 Annual Shareholders’
Meeting and is expected to attend the 2025 Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting.
EY provided the Audit Committee with written
confirmation that, in their view, they were able to
operate independently during the FY25 audit. The total
amount paid and payable to EY for the FY25 audit of
the Group financial statements is $944,000. During
the year, the external auditor provided approved
non-audit services as follows:
• Limited assurance services related to Skellerup’s
greenhouse gas emissions disclosures. The fee for
this service was $55,000.
• Provision of market remuneration information for
management roles within the Group’s Australian
subsidiaries. The fee for this service was $6,300.
Skellerup maintains an internal audit function with the
assistance of external advisors. Skellerup reviews the
residual risks from its semi-annual Risk Management
Report to determine priorities for consideration for
internal audit review. The Audit Committee reviews
and approves all internal audit activity and meets with
the internal auditors as required.
The significant issues and judgements considered by
the Audit Committee are disclosed in Note [f ] of the
financial statements on page 92.
Principle 8 – Shareholder Rights
and Relations
Skellerup complies with the recommendations of
Principle 8.
The Board aims to ensure that shareholders are
kept informed of developments affecting the
Company and encourages shareholders to engage
with the Company. Information is communicated to
shareholders and other key stakeholders through the
annual and interim reports, disclosures to the NZX,
and at Annual Meetings.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Corporate Governance41
The Board encourages shareholders to attend and
participate fully at Annual Meetings to ensure they
exercise the opportunity to ask questions about the
Company and its performance. Voting of shareholders
is by poll, based on one share, one vote. In 2024, the
Company’s Annual Meeting was a hybrid meeting,
allowing those not present at the meeting venue in
Auckland, New Zealand, to actively participate, and
shareholders were provided with a virtual meeting
guide ahead of the Annual Meeting. Shareholders
and their proxies were able to vote, ask questions and
view the live presentations, whether they attended the
meeting in person or online.
All shareholders have the option to elect to receive
electronic communications from the Company through
the Company’s share registrar (Computershare) and
by electing to receive email notifications of investor
news from the Company.
In addition to shareholders, Skellerup has a wide
range of stakeholders and maintains open channels
of communication for all audiences, including
the investing community, regulators, employees,
customers and suppliers.
The Company maintains information for shareholders
on its website at www.skellerupholdings.com.
This includes a description of Skellerup’s business
and structure, copies of key corporate governance
documents and policies, and all information
released to the NZX. Shareholders can receive all
communication from Skellerup electronically.
The Board respects the interests of all shareholders in
the Company. Skellerup strives to manage its business
in a manner that delivers long-term shareholder
value by delivering consistent quality solutions
for customers, a work environment that is safe and
delivers development opportunities for its employees
and meets or exceeds the compliance requirements in
the environments in which the Group operates.
No major decisions which may change the nature of
Skellerup were made during FY25 and therefore no
such matters were required to be put to shareholders.
Similarly, Skellerup did not seek additional equity
capital in FY25 and therefore there was no such offer to
be made to shareholders on a pro-rata basis.

Group Climate
Statements
We recognise that the effects of climate change
will impact where and how Skellerup will invest for
future growth and how we will ensure the safety of
our people and operations to continue to deliver to
our customers.
We also understand that the global transition to a low-
emissions, climate-resilient future will present both
risks and opportunities for the Group over the short,
medium and long term. A detailed understanding
of the current and future impacts of climate change
is necessary to ensure appropriate adaptation to, or
acceleration of, strategies to mitigate climate risks
and capitalise on the opportunities arising from
climate change.
Skellerup is classified as a climate reporting entity
and is required to report under the mandatory
climate-related disclosures framework in Part 7A of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, which came into
effect on 1 January 2023. This requires Skellerup to
prepare group climate statements in accordance with
the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS).
The NZ CS require reporting under the four pillars
described below:
GovernanceThe role of the Board of Directors in
overseeing Skellerup’s climate-related
risks and opportunities, and the role
management plays in assessing and
managing those climate-related risks and
opportunities.
StrategyHow climate change is currently
impacting Skellerup and how it might do
so in the future. This includes scenario
analysis undertaken by Skellerup,
identified climate-related risks and
opportunities, anticipated impacts, and
how Skellerup will position itself as the
global economy transitions towards a
low-emissions, climate-resilient future.
Risk ManagementHow Skellerup identifies, assesses and
manages climate-related risks and how
these processes are integrated into
existing risk management processes
within the Group.
Metrics and TargetsDisclosures of information on how
climate-related risks and opportunities
are measured and managed.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements43
Statement of Compliance
FY25 is Skellerup’s second reporting period under
the Climate-related Disclosures regime. These
disclosures are prepared in compliance with the NZ
CS. Where necessary, allowable adoption provisions
have been applied to ensure compliance with the NZ
CS. The Group (as defined in the Glossary on page
75) has relied on the following adoption provisions in
preparing these climate-related disclosures:
Adoption Provision 2:
Anticipated
Financial Impacts
Exemption from the requirements to
disclose the anticipated financial impacts
of climate-related risks and opportunities
and a description of the time horizons
over which the financial impacts could
reasonably be expected to occur.
Adoption Provision 4:
Scope 3 GHG
Emissions
Exemption from the requirements to
disclose all scope 3 greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions sources, or a selected
subset of the Group’s scope 3 GHG
emissions sources. Skellerup has elected
to disclose a subset of scope 3 categories.
Further details are included on pages
64 to 70.
Adoption Provision 6:
Comparatives for
Metrics
Exemption permits, in the second
reporting period, disclosure of only
one year of comparative information for
each metric disclosed. Skellerup has
included at least one year of comparative
information for all metrics, and two
years of comparative information for
those metrics where measurement was
previously undertaken.
Adoption Provision 7:
Analysis of Trends
Exemption from the requirements to
disclose an analysis of the main trends
evident from a comparison of each metric
from previous reporting periods to the
current reporting period. Skellerup
has disclosed trends for scope 1 and
2 GHG emissions, but not for other
disclosed metrics.
Adoption Provision 8:
Scope 3 GHG
Emissions Assurance
Exemption from the requirement
to include scope 3 GHG emissions
disclosures in the scope of the Group’s
assurance engagement. Skellerup also
relies on the Financial Markets Conduct
(Climate-related Disclosures—Assurance
Engagement) Exemption Notice 2025.
Disclaimer
Climate change is an evolving challenge, with high
levels of uncertainty as to the scale and timing of
anticipated impacts on Skellerup. This report sets
out Skellerup’s approach to scenario analysis, our
understanding of and response to our climate-related
risks and opportunities, our current and anticipated
impacts of climate change, and the transition plan
aspects of the Group’s strategy that aim to align
Skellerup with a low-carbon, climate-resilient future.
This reflects Skellerup’s current understanding as at
20 August 2025, in respect of the financial year ending
30 June 2025 (FY25).
These climate-related disclosures contain forward-
looking statements, including climate-related
scenarios, targets, assumptions, projections, forecasts,
statements of Skellerup’s future intentions, estimates
and judgements. These statements are based on
current expectations, estimates and assumptions and
are therefore subject to significant uncertainties.
The risks and opportunities described here might not
eventuate or might be more or less significant than
anticipated. Many factors could cause Skellerup’s
actual results, performance or achievement of
climate-related metrics (including targets) to differ
materially from those described, including economic
and technological viability, as well as climatic,
government, consumer, supplier and market factors
outside of our control. We have sought to ensure there
is a reasonable basis for forward-looking statements
and are committed to progressing our response to
climate-related risks and opportunities over time;
however, our assessment is necessarily constrained
by the novel and developing nature of this subject
matter. We therefore caution reliance on aspects of
this report that are necessarily less reliable than other
aspects of our annual reporting. We remain committed
to progressing our response to climate-related
risks and opportunities over time, and to report our
progress each year.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Skellerup
and our subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees
and contractors shall not be liable for any loss or
damage arising in any way from or in connection with
any information provided or omitted as part of these
climate-related disclosures.
Nothing in this report should be interpreted as capital
growth, earnings or any other legal, financial, tax or
other advice or guidance.

risks and opportunities affecting the Group.
Membership of each of the Board committees is
summarised on page 33.
Responsibilities for the oversight and management
of the Group’s approach to climate change are
summarised below:
Governance process and frequency
The Board oversees and reviews Skellerup’s
sustainability framework and strategy, including
climate-related risks and opportunities. Climate-
related risks and opportunities are considered by the
Board when considering broader strategy, including
as part of Skellerup’s annual business planning cycle.
Examples of the Board’s consideration of climate-
related risks and opportunities in FY25 included:
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements45
• Bi-annual review of the Group’s Risk Assessment
Report, with integrated climate-related risks,
• Discussion of the opportunities presented through
the impacts of extreme weather events in the key
US market on demand for the Group’s roofing and
construction products, and
• An update on environmental matters and
opportunities as part of the Board’s annual review
of the Group’s business plans.
Risk is a regular subject of discussion at Board
meetings. Formal updates and reporting on the
Group’s risk assessment are presented to the Board
approximately every six months. Where any new
or changed climate risks are identified outside of
the annual review cycle, these will be reviewed,
considered and reported to the Board and the
Sustainability Committee, as appropriate.
Key risks (including any material climate-related risks)
are monitored by the Board and are subject to formal
review at least twice per year. Risks are identified and
reported by management to the Board.
The Board has delegated responsibility for
sustainability-related (including climate) strategy,
policies, initiatives, measurement and reporting
to the Board Sustainability Committee, including
oversight of identifying, assessing, monitoring and
managing climate-related risks and opportunities.
The Sustainability Committee also has a role in
considering, approving and recommending targets to
the Board, including GHG emissions reduction targets.
The Sustainability Committee formally reviews
climate-change scenarios, climate-related risks and
opportunities and the development of, and progress
against climate transition plans, at least annually.
The progress made on the development of transition
plans during FY25 is summarised on pages 57 to 62.
The Sustainability Committee meets at least three times
per year. All proceedings at Sustainability Committee
meetings are reported back to the full Board.
The Board is assisted by the Audit Committee in
discharging its responsibilities relative to external
reporting (including climate-related disclosures),
the risk management framework and monitoring
compliance with that framework, regulatory
conformance and other accounting requirements.
The Audit Committee meets a minimum of four times
each year and reports the proceedings of each
of its meetings to the full Board. The Chair of the
Audit Committee presents an annual report to the
Board summarising the Audit Committee’s activities
throughout the year and any relevant significant
results and findings.
Board skill set
The Board aims to ensure appropriate skills and
capabilities are available to provide oversight of
climate-related risks and opportunities through
the maintenance of a skills matrix, which includes
competencies around environmental, social and
governance (ESG) strategies (refer to pages 26 and
27). To build on the education on Climate-related
Disclosures undertaken by the Board in the financial
year ended 30 June 2024 (FY24), management shares
relevant material with the Board, Audit Committee
and Sustainability Committee around developments in
climate reporting, in addition to the broader education
Skellerup directors undertake through their own
continuing professional development.
Management’s role
Management is responsible for monitoring
sustainability and climate-related risks and ensuring
these are integrated into the Group’s risk management
framework, as well as progressing climate-related
opportunities.
The CEO (in consultation with the Board) is
responsible for the Group’s overall strategy, and the
day-to-day management of the Group, including risk
management processes (which incorporate climate-
related risks and opportunities).
The CFO leads the Group’s ESG strategy and
development in conjunction with the CEO and is
responsible for the day-to-day management of:
• ESG data and analysis;
• Sustainability initiatives (in conjunction with the
CEO); and
• ESG reporting (including climate-related reporting).
In FY25, the CFO, with the support of external
advisers, led wider engagement with Group and
business unit leaders and other subject matter experts
from across the Group to review and update the
climate-related risks and opportunities identified
in FY24. Where material, climate-related risks are
incorporated into the Group-wide risk management
process, which is overseen by the Board of Directors.
The CEO and CFO attend each meeting of the
Audit Committee and Sustainability Committee by
invitation and maintain direct lines of communication
with the Committee Chairs.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements
46
In FY25, the CEO and CFO attended each of the
meetings of the Sustainability Committee to discuss
the review and update of climate change scenarios
and climate-related risks and opportunities, review
and approve Skellerup’s first Climate Transition Plan,
and to prepare for updates required to climate-related
disclosures. In FY25, the Audit Committee discussed
climate-related risk at two of its quarterly meetings,
attended by the CEO and CFO.
The CFO is supported by the Group Financial
Controller, Group and business unit managers and
other relevant subject matter experts in the preparation
of annual climate-related disclosures and the collation,
reporting and analysis of metrics and targets.
As per FY24, climate-related performance metrics are
not currently incorporated into remuneration policies.
Strategy
Current climate-related impacts
We acknowledge that climate change is already
having an impact on the markets in which the Group
operates. As an international business with operations
on four continents and customers in 87 countries, the
Group has been exposed to various physical impacts
of climate change during FY25, none of which have
had a material impact on the Group, its operations
or supply chains. Regular reporting of any physical
impacts of climate change is provided by Group and
business unit leaders.
The current impacts on the Group of the transition
to a lower-emission and climate-resilient economy
have been limited. Additional cost associated
with compliance with the mandatory reporting
requirements has been incurred, including engaging
external experts and the increased cost of assurance.
The financial impact of these transition impacts has not
been material in FY25 (FY24 – not material).
The Group has noted an increase in the number
of requests from customers around reporting ESG
initiatives and performance. This includes requests
for the Group to make commitments to customers and
suppliers, provide information to third-party platforms
and agree to comply with supplier codes of conduct.
Although this has had no material impact on the
Group in FY25 (FY24 – no material impact), non-
compliance with progressively more stringent
customer requirements might present a risk in future.
This is captured within the Group’s transition risks
on pages 53 and 54.
Scenario Analysis
Scenario analysis undertaken
In FY24, the Group engaged in a stand-alone process
of climate-related scenario analysis to support our
assessment of the potential physical and transitional
impacts of climate change on business, strategy and
planning. A comprehensive review of this climate-
related scenario analysis was carried out during
FY25, with the results of this review reported back
to the Sustainability Committee. The Sustainability
Committee provides oversight of the scenario analysis
process by reviewing and giving feedback on the
scenarios and associated risks and opportunities.
The most recent scenario analysis was reviewed
and approved by the Sustainability Committee in
December 2024.
Due to the diverse nature of its operations and the
varying markets served by the Group, Skellerup has
not been involved in any industry- or sector-level
scenario development. Accordingly, our scenario
analysis is based on publicly available scenarios
including the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)
developed as part of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC
1
) Sixth Assessment Report,
with input from scenarios developed by the Network
for Greening the Financial System (NGFS
2
) and the
International Energy Agency (IEA
3
) public scenarios.
Given the nature of the Group, its extensive value
chains and end markets, the approach taken was
to utilise and adapt global reference scenarios
by developing foundational scenario narratives,
augmenting these scenarios through understanding
the Group’s contextual environment and challenging
these against the value chain drivers mapped for each
of the Group’s key product applications. Our chosen
scenarios were foundationally based on the IPCC
reference scenarios. The six steps followed in our
scenario development process are set out on page 47.
1 The IPCC is a body of the United Nations. Its remit is to advance scientific knowledge about climate change caused by human activities.
The IPCC has created reference scenarios that are widely used to understand the potential future impacts of climate change.
2 The NGFS is a network of 114 central banks and financial supervisors that aims to accelerate the scaling up of green finance and
develop recommendations for central banks’ role in climate change.
3 The IEA is an autonomous intergovernmental organisation that works with countries around the world to shape energy policies for a
secure and sustainable future. The IEA has created reference scenarios that focus on future energy usage.
4 Reports include environmental, chronic (slow onset) and acute (extreme) climatic variables. Future climate change scenarios are
modelled in accordance with the Group’s chosen baseline climate-change scenarios (i.e. SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP2-RCP4.5 and SSP3-RCP7.0).
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements47
The NZ CS require a minimum of three climate-
related scenarios to be considered, including a 1.5°C
scenario and a scenario greater than 3.0°C. The
three scenarios developed by Skellerup are a 1.5°C
scenario (“Aggressive Transition Ambition”), a 2.5°C
scenario (“Middle of the Road”) and a 4.0°C scenario
(“Hothouse”).
The Aggressive Transition Ambition and Hothouse
scenarios are in line with the mandated scenarios
contained in the NZ CS. They represent a transitional
risk-weighted scenario (Aggressive Transition
Ambition) and an extreme physical risk-weighted
scenario (Hothouse). The Middle of the Road scenario
fulfils the requirement for a third climate-related
scenario and presents a middle ground where
transition and physical risks are both elevated.
All three scenarios continue to present plausible,
challenging descriptions of how the future might
unfold, both in New Zealand and the global markets
in which the Group operates. However, each scenario
presents a different set of challenges, issues and
opportunities that the Group would have to navigate.
Scenario development and review process
1. In FY24, initial scenario narratives were developed
utilising the SSPs, IEA and NGFS public scenarios.
These scenarios were used to identify and agree on
the macro-defining elements comprising each of the
three selected scenarios.
2. Drivers relating to Skellerup’s contextual
environment were then developed, considering
those drivers relating to policy and legal, market,
technology and consumer sentiment in the Group’s
key markets.
3. Initial scenarios were refined during FY24 through
workshops involving senior management and
subject-matter experts covering the Group’s five
most material (key) product applications (refer to
page 63).
4. A final review of scenarios was completed by
management to ensure internal consistency before
presentation to and final approval of the scenarios by
the Sustainability Committee.
5. During FY25, the Group undertook a review of
its climate-related scenarios, including industry
comparisons and reviews against market
publications and findings. This review identified
no material changes to the Group’s climate-related
scenarios. These scenarios were reviewed and
re-approved by the Sustainability Committee in
December 2024.
6. We continue to monitor market and sector scenario
development to augment our understanding.
An overview of each of our climate-related scenarios is
set out on page 48.
Climate-related Risks and Opportunities
Physical risk exposure and analysis
Physical risks are defined in NZ CS 1 as those risks
related to the physical impacts of climate change.
Physical risks emanating from climate change can be
event-driven (acute), such as increased severity of
extreme weather events, or can relate to longer-term
shifts (chronic) in precipitation and temperature and
increased variability of weather patterns, such as
sea-level rise.
Skellerup has manufacturing and distribution sites
in several locations across the globe. The Group
considers that the geographical diversity of its site
locations contributes to the Group’s resilience because
no singular climatic event is reasonably expected
to impact more than one of the Group’s key sites.
In FY24, detailed geospatial exposure assessments
4
were carried out by a specialist in physical climate
risk modelling on our six key manufacturing sites
(as outlined below), in relation to our core product
applications. The assessments covered baseline
(2005), short-term (2030), medium-term (2050) and
long-term (2100) timeframes. We consider annually
the need to review these assessments. We determined
a further review was not required in FY25 due to the
short time since their preparation and because no
significant updates have been made to these sites,
nor have material interruptions linked to climate
change been experienced. We will continue to monitor
the levels of climate-related disruptions at our sites to
inform the timing of further detailed reviews.
The sites identified, as listed below, are all managed
by the Group except for the site in Ho Chi Minh City,
which is owned and operated by our partner.
• Christchurch, New Zealand;
• Baocheng, Haimen City, Jiangsu Province, PR China;
• Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam;
• Auckland, New Zealand (two sites); and
• Lincoln, Nebraska, United States of America.
Key climate-related hazards have been identified,
evaluated and rated, to the extent relevant for each
site. These hazards are evaluated on the baseline,
short-, medium- and long-term time horizons and for
the three climate-related scenarios outlined on page
48. We have reviewed the risk scores arising from
these assessments to determine the requirement and
timing of mitigation plans and actions.

Description

Aggressive
Transition Ambition
Middle of the RoadHothouse
In this scenario, the world pursues
aggressive emissions reductions,
and this succeeds in limiting global
temperature increases to 1.5°C, with
global net-zero emissions being
achieved by 2050. This scenario
envisions a relatively optimistic
trend for human development, with
substantial investments in education
and health, rapid economic growth,
and well-functioning institutions,
driven by an increasing shift towards
sustainability.
In this scenario, New Zealand and
most of the developed world continue
to pursue net-zero targets by 2050.
However, the rest of the developing
world does not follow suit, leading to a
rise in global temperatures between
2.0°C and 3.0°C by the end of
the century.
Global emissions continue to grow
unabated largely due to a failure
of principal emissions-reduction
policies in key developed, high-
emitting countries. This leads to
warming levels that reach 2.0°C by
2050, and continue to increase steeply
thereafter, reaching 4.0°C by the end
of the century. Climate ‘chaos’ enters
mainstream discourse, across all
sectors and communities.

Climate-related scenario overview
5 These scenarios did not expressly consider carbon sequestration from afforestation and
nature-based solutions or technology assumptions such as negative emissions technology.6 Temperature change by the end of the century
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements49
Skellerup have integrated the consideration of climate-
related risks and opportunities into our internal
capital approval process. Climate-related risks and
opportunities are considered when determining
the motivation and viability of a capital expenditure
project, while return on investment calculations ensure
its commercial viability. This approach has been
taken during FY25 when considering the emissions
reduction initiatives that will be implemented for
Skellerup’s emissions reduction plan. Refer to page 61
for further information on the emissions reduction plan
and outcomes.
Transition risk exposure and analysis
Transition risks are those risks related to the transition
to a low-emissions, climate-resilient global and
domestic economy, such as policy, legal, technology,
market and reputation changes associated with the
mitigation and adaptation requirements relating to
climate change.
To identify potential material transition risks affecting
the Group, a qualitative assessment was performed
against the three scenarios outlined on page 48 to
identify possible climate hazards. Given the nature of
the transition risk assessments driven by the scenarios
and for simplicity, it has been assumed for our
assessment that exposure to an identified transition
risk will be a certainty (as opposed to physical risks,
where different assets are exposed to different
physical risks).
Risk and Opportunity Identification
and Assessment
Drawing on the results of the physical and transition
exposure assessments, we have defined climate-
related risks and opportunities for each of our key
product applications (refer to page 63). Risks are then
assessed across our three climate scenarios for the
short-term (2030), medium-term (2050) and long-term
(2100) time horizons using the Group’s existing risk
management framework and based on consequence
and vulnerability:
• In the context of climate change, we have considered
vulnerability to be the predisposition to be
adversely affected by a climate hazard or transition
element. To determine the level of vulnerability, we
consider the sensitivity and the adaptive capacity
of each element, such as inputs, processes, outputs,
markets and customers, when exposed to a hazard
or transition element. Sensitivity can be influenced
by age, condition, material and design. Adaptive
capacity is how efficiently an at-risk element can
adapt or be adapted when exposed to a climate
hazard or transition element. Adaptive capacity can
be influenced by multiple factors such as ease or
cost of repair or the level of redundancy.
• Consequence is the outcome of a climate event
affecting the Group’s objectives. This is assessed
based on the severity of potential financial, health
and safety, staff, legislative and reputational impacts.
The residual risk rating is based on consequence
and vulnerability as outlined within the matrix below:

increasingly disrupted by extreme climatic conditions. This, in turn causes geopolitical unrest, exacerbating supply chain disruptions and constraining
availability of critical inputs and materials.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements

The tables on pages 51 to 56 set out the material
8
climate-related risks and opportunities identified
by the Group. To determine the potential impact,
these risks and opportunities were assessed against
the internal materiality thresholds applied by the
Group in its Group-wide risk management process.
Immaterial risks and opportunities, being those with a
present risk rating of low (or very low), have not been
disclosed unless our assessments have indicated
a high or extreme impact of physical or transition
risks in future. Material and immaterial risks and
opportunities continue to be monitored and will be
included in disclosures in future reflecting changes in
materiality and risk rating.
8 NZ CS 3 defines information as material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that primary users make
based on an entity’s climate-related disclosures.
The time horizons used to assess climate-related risks
and opportunities are:
PeriodDates
Short-term0 to 5 years2025 to 2030
Medium-term5 to 25 years2030 to 2050
Long-term25 to 75 years2050 to 210 0
The short-term time horizon aligns well with the Group’s
internal planning cycle of three years. Medium- and
long-term horizons are not aligned to strategic planning
and capital deployment planning timeframes, but more

Climate Transition Plan
The Group’s first Climate Transition Plan outlines how
we propose to respond to the risks and opportunities
posed by climate change, including how our business
model and strategy might change to address our
climate-related risks and seize opportunities. The plan
also addresses how the Group intends to decarbonise
its operations and supply chains, thereby reducing its
contribution to global GHG emissions. The Climate
Transition Plan was reviewed and approved by the
Skellerup Board in March 2025.
Our Climate Transition Plan is made up of two
components:
• An Adaptation Plan; and
• An Emissions Reduction Plan.
Our current business model and strategy
Our business model sees the Group operating as
a global designer, manufacturer and distributor
of precision-engineered products. Skellerup has
manufacturing and distribution facilities in seven
countries spanning four continents. The Group
operates as a collection of closely aligned business
units, with management and resources close to our
customers and end markets.
The Group supplies customers in a wide range of end
markets, through the implementation and delivery of
our four strategic objectives noted below:
While the identified adaptation responses to our climate-related risks and opportunities and emissions reduction
initiatives broadly align with our strategic objectives, we will continue to monitor and adjust the strategic aims
of our Climate Transition Plan to support our key strategic objectives, as we continue to embed our Climate
Transition Plan.
Our Strategic Objectives
Capacity
We focus on building in-market presence, development
hubs and manufacturing scalability. By increasing our
capacity to deploy more in-market manufacturing
(addressing geo-political, restrictive trade and climate
change impacts), we are reducing our existing
customers’ risk and the need to consider alternative
suppliers, as well as being attractive to new customers.
Customers
We service our Global customers through customer-
focused development, utilising our deep technical
expertise and rapid prototyping capabilities.
Capability
We focus on developing critical capability (people
and equipment) to design and manufacture
precision elastomer products for high-
performance and high-conformance applications.
We also ensure maintenance of our balance
sheet capability to fund organic growth through
innovation of new products and innovation.
People
We operate under a model of accountability,
capability and measurement for all our business
units. We focus on attracting, retaining and
developing the right skills to ensure we have the
people necessary to deliver to our customers.

Adaptation Plan
Our Adaptation Plan documents the adaptation
responses to our material climate-related risks and
opportunities within the Group’s key value streams.
To identify these adaptation responses, workshops
were held with senior management and key subject
matter experts to develop a long list of potential
adaptation responses to our material climate-
related risks and opportunities. We then undertook
an exercise to consider the inter-dependencies
between the adaptation responses, before ranking
and prioritising them. Individual action plans were
then developed for the selected adaptation responses,
including the establishment of timelines, assignment
of responsibility and where appropriate, allocation of
capital funding.
The key adaptation responses are noted below,
along with the material climate-related risks and/or
opportunities they are addressing:
These adaptation responses are closely aligned
with the Group’s strategy and, as such, are strategic,
commercially viable activities that often already
form part of the Group’s strategic planning. We have
also identified adaptation options in response to our
transitional and physical climate-related opportunities.
As part of our analysis, we have identified that certain
opportunities do not require a specific adaptation
initiative to be developed as the Group has the
capability to exploit these opportunities, which are
being exercised as part of normal operating activities.
The adaptation responses to our climate-related
risks and opportunities will be reviewed on a bi-
annual basis, with a progress update reported to
the Sustainability Committee. We also expect to
establish monitoring processes to track progress on
our adaptation options against action plans and review
and update adaptation responses as changes to our
operating environment occur.

Emissions Reduction Plan
The Emissions Reduction Plan outlines how Skellerup
aims to reduce GHG emissions to meet its short-,
medium- and long-term emissions reduction
objectives and contribute to efforts to limit global
temperature rise.
As Skellerup continues to grow in line with our
strategy and growth plans, and in the absence of
change, our absolute emissions will most likely
increase. Skellerup aims to implement appropriate,
commercially viable improvements to our facilities and
supply chains to reduce or limit emissions growth.
We also aim to identify whether these improvements
are sufficient to bring our emissions in line with the
goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-
industrial levels, thereby supporting New Zealand’s
commitment under the Paris Agreement.
To assess the performance of our climate-related
investments, Skellerup intends to develop and set
interim and long-term emissions-reduction targets
that are science-based. These targets are expected to
contemplate absolute reductions in emissions as well
as reductions in the intensity of emissions.
Due to the diverse nature of our operations and
the varying markets served by the Group, we are
necessarily taking a stepped approach to developing
and implementing emissions reduction plans and
targets in the short term (FY25 to FY27). During
FY25, we reviewed our largest manufacturing site in
Christchurch, New Zealand (Wigram), as a pilot for
identifying, measuring and prioritising emissions
reduction initiatives (scope 1 and 2 only).
In FY26, we expect to roll this methodology out to
all other manufacturing sites for scope 1 and 2
emissions, with all other facilities (scope 1 and 2)
and supply chain emissions (scope 3) considered for
emissions reduction plans during FY27. We anticipate
the momentum of identifying and implementing
emissions reduction initiatives will increase over
the short term as:
• These initiatives increasingly become part of the
Group’s planning and capital allocation activities,
• The process of identifying and evaluating emissions
reduction initiatives is rolled out to the wider Group,
and
• Emissions reduction technologies improve due to the
global focus on decarbonisation.
Emissions reduction pilot – Wigram facility
Due to the diverse nature of our operations and the
varying markets served by the Group, our FY25 focus
has been on a pilot emissions reduction programme
for our largest manufacturing facility in Wigram.
Our pilot Emissions Reduction Plan for Wigram
contains 10 short-listed initiatives that were identified
by the operations and development teams at Wigram
and are planned to be implemented over the next
20 years. These initiatives were prioritised from a
list of potential options after workshops held with
senior management and subject matter experts.
The initiatives have been prioritised based on the
relative cost per tonne of CO
2
equivalent saved ($/
tonne CO
2
-e), with consideration also given to the net
present value of the cost/benefit of the initiative, and
commercial viability and alignment with our strategic
objectives. The cost of implementing these identified
initiatives is not considered material to the Group,
with potential benefits often believed to outweigh the
incremental cost of implementation.
The modelled emissions reductions for our Wigram
pilot are anticipated to amount to an 11% reduction
against the FY24 baseline (142 tonnes of CO
2
- e).
Assuming these emissions reductions continue as
planned, we anticipate reducing Wigram’s directly
controllable emissions (scope 1 and 2) to a level
sufficient to meet the 1.5 degree aligned pathway
(per NZ Climate Commission) projection until 2045.
The chart on page 62 illustrates the anticipated impacts
of the implementation of planned emission reduction
initiatives against a 1.5-degree aligned pathway.
Management provides periodic updates on GHG
emissions inventories to the Sustainability Committee,
including updates on the progress of emissions
reduction initiatives and the consideration of emerging
emissions reduction technologies and developments.
Systems are in place to measure and report GHG
emissions inventories, and monitoring and reporting
against identified initiatives will be developed in
future as initiatives are executed and emissions
reductions realised.
By June 2025, work has commenced on implementing
five of the 10 short-listed initiatives, with one initiative
already completed by the time of this report. Capital
expenditure had been incurred or has been included in
the Group’s business plans for three of the 10 initiatives.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements

Capital Allocation and Investment
Alignment with capital deployment and
funding processes
The implementation of our Climate Transition Plan
will necessarily require an investment of capital.
Allocation of capital is considered as part of annual
business planning cycles. During business planning,
consideration is given to the alignment of proposed
capital expenditure with Skellerup’s strategic objectives,
with the Board and management approving investment
into commercially justified climate-related projects.
Capital investment
All capital expenditure requests require a
commercially supportable business case with a
focus on alignment with business strategies rather
than isolated projects. Climate-related risks and
opportunities are considered when determining the
motivation and viability of the capital expenditure,
while return on investment calculations ensure the
commercial viability of the project. Changes to
the Group’s capital expenditure approval process
have been made to incorporate the consideration of
climate-related risks and opportunities as part of all
capital requests.
Adaptation responses are closely aligned with existing
Group strategic initiatives and therefore consideration
of capital investment in these activities forms part
of the Group’s overall capital expenditure approval
process. Identified emissions reduction initiatives for
the Wigram pilot have been evaluated based on the
net present value of the cost/benefit of the initiative as
well as $/tonne CO
2
-e avoided.
Only those initiatives with commercial justification
were considered for implementation.

climate-related risks and opportunities or targeted to
emissions reduction activities was 41% of total capital
expenditure. Refer to the table on page 71.
Risk Management
Risk and opportunity identification
Skellerup’s risk and opportunity identification is
undertaken by the Group, led by the CEO and CFO
and with appropriate engagement from internal
subject-matter experts and external advisors where
specific knowledge or expertise is required in a
particular area.
Drawing on the results of the physical and transition
exposure assessments outlined on pages 47 to 50, we
have identified and assessed climate-related risks and
opportunities for each of our key product applications.
We define key product applications based on
consideration of multiple factors, which include
financial (e.g. sectors with the highest contribution to
Group earnings) and non-financial factors (such as
customer, technological and environmental impacts
and policy contexts).

Skellerup Annual Report FY25Group Climate Statements63
For FY25, the key applications outlined below
contributed more than 70 per cent to Group revenue
and represented more than 65 per cent of Group
tangible assets at 30 June 2025. These key applications
are:
• Dairy;
• Potable Water;
• Wastewater;
• Roofing and Construction; and
• Foot wea r.
The materiality of other product applications are
considered on an annual basis to determine whether
other applications should be added into the Group’s
climate-related risk and opportunity identification
processes. In years where these applications are
material, they will be incorporated to augment to our
understanding of Group-wide climate-related risks
and opportunities.
In completing our risk and opportunity identification
process during FY24, we mapped the value chains
of our five key product applications listed above.
This encompassed a thorough and detailed review
of inputs, distribution activities, processing and end
markets. In FY25, a detailed evaluation of the value
chains was undertaken, with identified updates
implemented.
The identification of risks and opportunities was based
on input from subject-matter experts in sourcing,
distribution, manufacturing and sales and marketing
from across the Group’s operations and key locations.
Both physical and transition risks and opportunities
were identified and evaluated as part of this process.
Risk assessment
Identified climate-related risks, which were
investigated through detailed physical assessments
and using scenario analysis, were evaluated using the
Group’s existing risk management framework
11
and
based on the consequence of impact and vulnerability
(derived from sensitivity to the risk and the Group’s
assessed adaptive capacity) in line with the matrix
on page 49. As with other commercial and business
risks, climate-related risks have been assigned a risk
owner who takes responsibility for day-to-day risk
management and mitigation.
Risks are given an initial exposure rating based on
the likelihood of an event happening. This assessment
is both quantitative for an event impacting a single
element of the value chain and qualitative for an event
impacting a wide number of elements.
Similar risks were grouped where appropriate,
and ratings were moderated for consistency and
completeness. During FY25, the risk registers were
reviewed and updated in workshops including the
CEO, CFO, senior management and subject matter
experts. Following this review, the updated climate
risk registers were presented to the Sustainability
Committee for approval in December 2024. Material
climate-related risks are included in the Group risk
assessment report, which is formally considered by
the Board twice annually.
Frequency of risk assessment
Risk is a regular subject of discussion at Board
meetings. Formal updates and reporting on the
Group’s risk assessment are presented to the Board
approximately every six months. In conjunction
with the regular review and reporting of strategic
and operational risks, we will carry out an annual
review and update on climate-related risks in line
with our review of the climate-related scenario
analysis. Where any new or changed climate risks are
identified outside of the annual review cycle, these
will be considered and reported to the Board and
Sustainability Committee, as appropriate.
Value chain exclusions
As previously noted, our risk identification and
assessment process has focused on the Group’s most
material product applications. It is therefore possible
that some elements of the Group’s value chain, which
are applicable or specific to those product applications
not included in the risk assessment, may have been
excluded from our consideration. Given the complex
and diverse nature of the Group’s activities, it is
impractical to conduct a detailed risk assessment
process for each product application and its related
value chain elements. However, Group management
and subject-matter experts involved in the climate risk
assessment have a broad knowledge of the Group’s
activities, and accordingly, we are confident that all
material risks and opportunities have been identified.
We continue to refine and develop our approach to
climate risk management.
11 The Group’s existing risk management framework evaluates Group-wide risks based
on defined parameters for likelihood of occurrence and magnitude of impact.

12 The GHG Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Scope 3 Standard and Scope 3 Guidance are published by the World Resources Institute
and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. They were developed to provide a standardised approach and set of principles for companies
to use in preparing GHG emissions inventories.
Metrics and Targets
Our GHG emissions
The Group has been measuring its scope 1 and scope
2 GHG emissions since FY20. In FY25, we measured
and reported our material scope 3 GHG emissions
for the second time. Our total measured emissions
were 64,947 tonnes of CO
2
-e in FY25 (FY24 – 59,015
tonnes CO
2
-e). A table summarising the Group’s GHG
emissions is shown on page 67.
Purchased electricity and gas are the significant
sources of our scope 1 and 2 emissions as they are
used in all the Group’s manufacturing operations
and in distribution and other administrative centres.
As the Group continues to grow in line with its
strategy and plans, in the absence of change, our
absolute emissions will likely increase. The Group
is implementing appropriate, commercially sound
improvements to our facilities and supply chains to
limit the growth of emissions, in addition to those
emissions reduction initiatives identified as part of
our first Climate Transition Plan, specifically for the
Wigram manufacturing site. Given the Group’s growth
strategy, emissions intensity measures will be the most
relevant for evaluating performance. We do not apply
internal emissions pricing within the Group.
Measurement of GHG emissions
12
We measure our emissions under the GHG Protocol:
A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard,
with reference to the additional guidance provided
in the GHG Protocol: Corporate Value Chain (Scope
3) Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3
Standard) and GHG Protocol: Technical Guidance for
Calculating Scope 3 Emissions (Scope 3 Guidance).
Scope 1 and 2 emissions are measured for all
subsidiaries in the Group. Data for scope 1 and 2
emissions is gathered directly from our underlying
operating systems.
We have expanded our scope 3 emissions
measurement to all operating subsidiaries in FY25
(in FY24, we excluded scope 3 emissions generated by
non-material companies). Data for the measurement of
scope 3 emissions is sourced directly from suppliers
or calculated using alternative methods as prescribed
by the GHG Protocol and guidance as appropriate.
Scope 3 categories 8 (upstream leased assets), 10
(processing of sold products), 11 (use of sold products),
13 (downstream leased assets), 14 (franchises) and
15 (investments) have been excluded. All other
categories of scope 3 emissions are included.
Due to the global nature of the Group’s business and
value chain, emission factors have been sourced from
multiple issuing authorities. The sources of emission
factors for the Group’s largest sources of emissions
used to build up the Group’s GHG inventories are
included on pages 65 and 66.
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) attached to each
of the different GHG emissions is calculated using
appropriate emission factor sources.

Our organisational boundary
Organisational boundaries are defined as the
boundaries that determine the operations owned
or controlled by Skellerup, depending on the
consolidation approach taken. We have elected to
apply the control approach to consolidate the GHG
emissions of the Group. Under the control approach,
we account for our GHG emissions from operations
over which the Group has control (noting our exclusion
of immaterial emissions sources, as defined on page
70). Skellerup will not account for GHG emissions from
operations in which we own an interest but have no
control (Skellerup had no such entities during FY25).
Control can be defined in either financial or
operational terms. Skellerup applies the financial
control criterion, which aligns with our financial
consolidation approach. Financial control is defined as
having the ability to direct the financial and operating
policies of an operation to gain economic benefits from
its activities.
The consolidation approach is summarised as:
SubsidiariesInclude 100% of GHG emissions
for operations accounted for as
subsidiaries, regardless of the equity
interest owned.
Non-incorporated
joint ventures/
partnerships/
operations where
partners have joint
financial control
Include GHG emissions proportionate
to the Group’s interest in the operation.
Skellerup has no non-incorporated joint
ventures, partnerships or operations
with joint financial control in F Y25.
Associated / affiliated
companies
Do not include GHG emissions from
operations accounted for using the
equity method in the consolidated
financial statements. Skellerup had
no associated or affiliated companies
in F Y25.
Our operational boundary
Operational boundaries are used to determine
the direct and indirect emissions associated with
operations owned or controlled by the Group.
The Group reports relevant indirect (scope 3)
emissions from activities in our value chain outside
of the Group’s operational boundary. For scope 3
emissions, the boundary is currently defined on a
category-by-category basis due to data limitations.
Our reported GHG emissions inventories for scopes
1, 2 and 3 accounted for using the financial control
approach are subject to inherent uncertainties arising
from reliance on data obtained from third parties, or
necessarily estimated or assumed, and may not be
accurate or complete, although we consider that all
practical controls have been put in place to mitigate
this risk as far as possible.

Scope 1 and 2 GHG Emissions
The main sources of the Group’s scope 1 and 2
emissions are purchased electricity and natural gas,
which are used in operating its owned and leased
facilities, with a smaller consumption of fossil fuels
used directly in powering equipment and vehicles.
Emissions for FY24 have been restated from that
previously reported as follows:
• Scope 1 emissions have been reduced by 48 tonnes
CO
2
-e due to minor corrections in data gathering
and calculation processes;
• Scope 2 emissions have increased by 215 tonnes
CO
2
-e because of the identification of a more
appropriate location-based emission factor for
purchased electricity in China.
Skellerup considers the restatement of FY24 emissions
as appropriate to provide more comparable year-on-
year information.
The table below summarises the Group’s scope 1 and
2 emissions over the past five financial years, as well
as measurements of consumption for the key sources
of these emissions.

Our scope 1 and 2 emissions in FY25 have increased
by one per cent against the prior competitive period
(pcp). This increase was as a result of two key factors:
• Changes in the level of activity at our key
manufacturing sites, with higher volumes for
our dairy rubberware manufacturing in Wigram,
albeit more than offset by the impact of lower
manufacturing volumes in Jiangsu, China; and
• A 36% increase in the New Zealand electricity
emission factor published by the Mf E.
We measure our scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity
as a factor of revenue. Our intensity measure of 10.3
tonnes of CO
2
-e per $1 million of revenue is six per
cent lower than the result for FY24.
Scope 1 – Natural gas
Natural gas is primarily used in heating for the Group’s
operating facilities in North America and Europe, and
in operating the natural gas boiler at its manufacturing
site in Jiangsu, China.
FY25 natural gas consumption has reduced by 14
per cent against pcp through a combination of more
benign weather in North America and relocation to a
newer, more energy-efficient site in Chicago.
Scope 2 – Purchased electricity
As the level of activity in the Group increased in
FY25, electricity consumption increased. The six per
cent increase in the amount of electricity consumed
is in line with the Group’s revenue growth, meaning
that when measured relative to the growth in revenue,
consumption per $1 million of revenue is relatively
flat at 41.7 MWh per $1 million of revenue earned.
Fluctuations in activity levels at the Group’s sites
around the world meant a six per cent increase in
underlying electricity consumption resulted in a seven
per cent increase in scope 2 GHG emissions. The
Group continues to evaluate and implement electricity
efficiency initiatives where commercially appropriate.
Scope 3 GHG Emissions
The Group measured its scope 3 emissions for the
second time in FY25. Scope 3 emissions made up 94%
of total emissions for FY25 (FY24 – 94%). The source
of scope 3 emissions by category is summarised
on page 70 and reflects most scope 3 emissions
being embedded in the Group’s purchased goods
and services, with 86% of scope 3 emissions in this
category (FY24 – 85%), followed by transportation and
distribution emissions at 8% of scope 3 emissions in
FY25 (FY24 – 9%).
The Group’s measurement of scope 3 emissions
continues to be refined. FY24 measured emissions
excluded certain smaller operating subsidiaries
from the scope of the initial data gathering exercise.
Scope 3 emissions data has now been gathered for
these subsidiaries, which has resulted in a restatement
of comparative information. Further, data collection
methods and calculation techniques continue to be
enhanced, with minor amendments being made to
previously reported data to improve comparability.
FY24 scope 3 reported emissions have been restated
upwards by 4,945 tonnes, an increase of 10 per cent on
that previously reported. The majority of the increase
relates to the inclusion of subsidiaries not measured
and reported in the Group’s FY24 report and minor
corrections in the categorisation of purchased goods
and services.

During FY25, the Group has continued to execute its
growth plans, which have precipitated an increase
in absolute scope 3 emissions of 5,888 tonnes
CO
2
-e against the restated pcp, an increase of 11 per
cent. The intensity of scope 3 emissions (as measured
by tonnes of CO
2
-e per $1 million of revenue) has
increased by three per cent, reflective of the mix of
businesses within the Group. Changes in scope 3
emissions, which have significantly increased the
gross emissions reported, are:
• An increase in the level of activity at the Group’s
largest contract manufacturer in Vietnam;
• Greater levels of activity at the Group’s roofing and
construction-focused business in the UK, primarily
in the supply of third-party sourced product which is
used in solar installations; and
• Higher production levels at the Group’s main facility
in Christchurch, New Zealand.
These increases were partly offset by lower production
of rubber footwear at the Group’s facility in China,
principally to manage finished goods inventory levels.
The measurement of scope 3 emissions is still subject
to estimation and uncertainty. We have captured
the activities, data and emissions factor sources and
methodology, data quality and uncertainties in the
table on pages 65 and 66.
Emissions sources identified and excluded
Several GHG emissions have been excluded from the
scope of our inventory. Emissions sources identified
and excluded are:
• Scope 1: Fugitive and process emissions are
considered immaterial.
• Scope 3 - Category 1: Purchased goods and services
– non-inventory-related purchases of goods and
services (i.e. those purchases not directly related
to our manufacturing processes) are considered
immaterial.
• Scope 3 - Category 3: Transmission and distribution
losses – the entire category is considered
immaterial.
• Scope 3 - Category 12: End-of-life treatment of sold
products – based on the nature of products sold by
the Group and the likely end-of-life treatment, this
category is considered immaterial. We continue
to evaluate its measurement as we develop and
implement product take-back and recycling
schemes.

Independent limited assurance report to Skellerup Holdings Limited
Assurance conclusion – Scope 1 and Scope 2 (location based only) GHG emissions
Based on our limited assurance procedures performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing
has come to our attention that causes us to believe that Skellerup Holdings Limited’s consolidated
gross scope 1 and 2 (location based only) Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions, related additional
required disclosures of gross GHG emissions and gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and
estimation uncertainty, within the scope of our limited assurance engagement (as outlined below)
(together “GHG disclosures”) included in Skellerup Holdings Limited’s Group Climate Statements for
the year ended 30 June 2025 (“Climate Statement”) are not fairly presented and not prepared, in all

EY’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the GHG disclosures based on the
procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained.
Our engagement was conducted in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Assurance
Engagements 1 Assurance Engagements over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures (“NZ SAE 1”)
and in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (New Zealand):
Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statements (“ISAE (NZ) 3410”). Those standards require
that we plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the GHG
disclosures have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Criteria. The nature,
timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on our judgment, including an assessment of the
risk of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
We believe that the evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited
assurance conclusion.
As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG Disclosures prepared by
management, we are not permitted to be involved in the preparation of the GHG information as doing
so may compromise our independence.
EY provides financial statement audit too the Group. Partners and employees of our firm may deal
with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the
Group. We have no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
Our independence and quality management
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of NZ SAE 1 Assurance
Engagements over Greenhouse Gas Emissions Disclosures issued by the External Reporting Board
(XRB) and the Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance
Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New
Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board, which are founded on fundamental principles of
integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional
behaviour.
The firm applies Professional and Ethical Standard 3 Quality Management for Firms that Perform
Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements,
which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including
policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and
applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Description of procedures performed
Procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less
in extent than, for a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained
in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been
obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. Our procedures were designed to
obtain a limited level of assurance on which to base our conclusion and do not provide all the evidence
that would be required to provide a reasonable level of assurance.
Our procedures did not include testing controls or performing procedures relating to checking
aggregation or calculation of data within IT systems.
A limited assurance engagement consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
preparing the report and related information and applying analytical and other relevant procedures.

Our procedures included:
▪Obtaining, through inquiries, an understanding of Skellerup’s organisational and operational
boundaries, control environment, processes and information systems relevant to the preparation
of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the design of particular control activities, or obtain
evidence about their implementation;
▪Assessing the appropriateness of the emission factors used;
▪Performing analytical procedures on particular emission categories to support expectations
regarding the direction of trends, relationships and ratios of reported GHGs emitted and made
inquiries of management to obtain explanations for any significant differences we identified;
▪Testing, on a limited sample basis, underlying source information to assess the accuracy of the
data; and
▪Considering the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.
We also performed such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
Although we considered the effectiveness of management’s internal controls when determining the
nature and extent of our procedures, our assurance engagement was not designed to provide
assurance on internal controls.
Inherent uncertainties
The GHG quantification process is subject to scientific uncertainty, which arises because of incomplete
scientific knowledge about the measurement of GHGs. Additionally, GHG procedures are subject to
estimation uncertainty resulting from the measurement and calculation processes used to quantify
emissions within the bounds of existing scientific knowledge.
Other matters
The comparative GHG disclosures (that is GHG disclosures for the period ended 30 June 2021, 30
June 2022, 30 June 2023 and 30 June 2024) have not been subject to assurance. As such, these
disclosures are not covered by our assurance conclusion.
Use of our assurance report
We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this assurance report to any persons
other than Skellerup, or for any purpose other than that for which it was prepared.
Our review included web-based information that was available via web links as of the date of this
statement. We provide no assurance over changes to the content of this web-based information after
the date of this assurance statement.

Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions
The release of GHGs into the atmosphere. Gross emissions are total GHG emissions excluding any removals, and
excluding any purchase, sale or transfer of GHG emission offsets or allowances.
Global Warming
Potential (GWP)
An index to translate the level of emissions of various greenhouse gases into a common measure in order to compare
the relative radiative forcing of different gases. GWPs are calculated as the ratio of the radiative forcing that would
result from the emissions of one kilogram (kg) of a greenhouse gas to that from the emission of one kg of CO
2
over a
period of time (usually 100 years). GWPs are applied to the non-CO
2
gases to enable meaningful comparisons among
the gas types compared with CO
2
. Where GWPs are applied to these gases, GHG emissions are commonly expressed
as their carbon dioxide equivalent (or CO
2
-e). The larger the GWP, the more a given gas warms the earth, compared
with CO
2
over that period. The time period usually used for GWPs is 100 years, to align with UNFCCC greenhouse gas
inventory reporting requirements. The IPCC provides more information on how these factors are calculated.

growth in financial
returns for our
shareholders
Tim Runnalls
For the year ended 30 June 2025 (FY25), earnings
before interest and tax (EBIT) grew seven per
cent to a record $78.0 million, the Group’s ninth
consecutive year of EBIT growth.
Increased revenue, up seven per cent on the prior
corresponding period (pcp), and a small improvement
in gross margin percentage drove the improvement in
Group EBIT. As anticipated, finance costs reduced as
a result of declining market interest rates and lower
average net borrowings. An increase in the effective
tax rate partially eroded gains, with net profit after
tax (NPAT) of $54.5 million, up nine per cent on the
underlying
1
NPAT for FY24.
Our Industrial Division’s EBIT growth of three per cent
fell below the levels seen in previous years as divisional
performance across key markets and applications
was mixed. We continued to see growth in sales of
our products used in potable water and wastewater
applications through a combination of market share
growth and the introduction of innovative new products.
Sales of roofing and construction products grew strongly
in the US and UK but were somewhat offset by a slow
construction market in Australasia.
Agri Division’s EBIT increased 15 per cent on the pcp
as demand for dairy rubberware products remained
strong throughout FY25. Revenue increased by eight per
cent against the pcp, and the higher production volumes
through our largest manufacturing facility in Christchurch
drove improved margins. Despite increasing sales of
rubber footwear, higher raw material costs and the
impact of lower production volumes through our rubber
footwear facility in Jiangsu, China, meant footwear
margins fell below the pcp.
Operating cash flow of $66.5 million was down six
per cent on the pcp as growth in after-tax earnings
was reduced by the impact of deliberate increases in
inventory holdings for several businesses to mitigate
against the impacts of US trade tariffs and ongoing
supply chain interruptions. Net debt closed at $12.4
million, down $3.0 million from June 2024.
Our balance sheet remains well managed, enabling
a focus on delivering sustainable growth in financial
returns for our shareholders and opportunities for our
employees. Capital allocation is carefully administered,
and all projects are scrutinised thoroughly. FY25 has
seen $9.2 million invested in improvements to equipment
and processes, as well as funding for new capacity
towards future growth.

Financial
Commentary
FY25 Group Earnings and Dividends
The FY25 audited NPAT of $54.5 million was up 16
per cent on the comparative result for FY24. The FY25
NPAT was up nine per cent when compared with the
underlying FY24 NPAT of $50.0 million. A gross dividend
pay-out in respect of FY25 of 25.5 cents per share (50
per cent imputed) is up six per cent on the pcp and
reflects the Group’s continued robust financial results
and cash flow position.
The FY25 gross dividend pay-out declared is up 1.5
cents per share (six per cent) on the pcp and represents
a gross yield
2
for our shareholders of 5.4 per cent.
We segment and measure our performance by two
divisions – Industrial and Agri.
Industrial Division
Our Industrial Division’s sales were another record
result of $241.3 million, up seven per cent on the pcp.
EBIT was $48.4 million – a fifth consecutive increase in
earnings, up three per cent on FY24. Although slightly
lower than the pcp, EBIT as a percentage of revenue for
FY25 remained above 20 per cent for the Division.
Our Industrial Division generates more than 85 per
cent of its revenue from international markets.
FY25 revenue growth reflects mixed market conditions.
Increased revenue from potable water and wastewater
applications was due to higher sales of products used
in infrastructural pipe, sales of gaskets for pipe networks
and vacuum systems for liquid waste. This was offset
slightly by lower revenue from products used in tapware.
Roofing and construction revenue grew strongly,
particularly through sales of roof flashing products
sold in North America as well as those used in solar
installations in the UK. A slow construction market
continued to impact roofing and construction revenue
in Australasia.
Revenue growth translated to another record EBIT
for the Industrial Division, up three per cent on FY24.
Product mix impacted returns, along with the effect of
exchange rates and increases in freight costs which
could not be fully recovered.

Dividend Declared
(cents per share)
The North American market accounts for almost 40 per
cent of the Industrial Division’s revenue. The FY25 result
has not been materially affected by the impacts of US
trade tariffs and resultant market uncertainty.
The essential nature of many of the Group’s products
has meant that demand for the majority of our products
has remained strong.
Agri Division
Sales for our Agri Division were $113.8 million, up eight
per cent on the pcp. EBIT of $35.3 million was up 15 per
cent on the pcp and up four per cent on the previous
record result achieved in FY23. Operating margins
remained strong at 31 per cent.
Our Agri Division is a world leader in the design and
manufacture of essential consumables for the global
dairy industry and the design and manufacture of
rubber footwear for farming and other speciality
applications including electricity, fire and forestry.
FY25 presented consistent demand from export
customers in the dairy industry. Following sizable
destocking activities from several of our large customers
in the first half of FY24, ordering returned to more normal
patterns, and revenue from sales of dairy rubberware
products into international markets grew 12 per cent
on the pcp. Sales in the New Zealand domestic market
were up six per cent on the pcp. Higher sales volumes
translated to higher manufacturing throughput, favourably
impacting margins.
Despite pressure on consumer spending, particularly in
the key New Zealand market, sales of our Red Band
TM
and speciality footwear products were up six per cent
on the pcp. Raw material cost increases and the effect
of the lower production volumes that were required to
manage decreased inventory levels impacted margins.
Corporate
The Group is serviced by a corporate office in
Auckland, the cost of which includes fees paid
to Directors and Group management, listing and
compliance costs and expenses. FY25 corporate
costs of $5.7 million were tightly controlled and
represent less than two per cent of Group revenue.
FY25 Financial Position
Skellerup’s financial position remains healthy with
continual management of working capital and
critical evaluation of capital investment decisions.
Excellent operating cash flows and low levels of debt
provide us with the opportunity to invest in growth
and improvement initiatives. Our focus remains on
the appropriate allocation of capital (both financial
and human) to deliver ongoing excellent returns on
shareholders’ funds.
At the close of FY25, inventory stood at $77.8 million,
reflecting an increase of $6.3 million from FY24.
Deliberate actions were taken during the year to
increase inventory levels in market to manage tariff
risks and supply chain disruptions. We anticipate that,
given ongoing uncertainty, we will maintain carrying
a higher level of inventories to service customers
effectively, at least in the short term. Our teams continue
to navigate challenging and uncertain markets and
supply chains efficiently.
Trade receivables closed at $54.0 million on 30 June
2025, up five per cent on the pcp. This increase is
reflective of the increase in revenue and a result of the
timing of sales. A continued strong focus on collections,
fairer payment terms, simpler electronic payment
options for customers and discount structures for
prompt payment all contributed to solid collections.
At the close of FY25, receivables represented 47 days
of sales outstanding, an improvement on 48 days
recorded in the pcp.

This increased investment working capital and higher
cash tax payments (resulting from higher earnings)
resulted in an operating cash flow of $66.5 million, down
six per cent on the record pcp. The strong operating
cash flow funded payments for right-of-use asset lease
obligations of $7.1 million, capital expenditure of $9.2
million, dividends to shareholders of $48.0 million and
repayments of borrowings of $4.0 million. Net debt
remains low at $12.4 million, $3.0 million below the pcp,
and represents just four per cent of our total assets.
Seven-Year Financial Review
The table below shows the financial results and position
of the Skellerup Group for each of the last seven years.
During this period, revenue has grown by 44 per cent,
NPAT has increased by 88 per cent, and our operating
cash flow is 130 per cent higher than that reported in
FY19. Return on net assets has increased by 39 per cent.
The sustained earnings growth has enabled a rise in the
gross dividend pay-out (excluding imputation credits) of
96 per cent over the same period.

Group audit planning and co-ordination
Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Skellerup group comprises more than 20
businesses (components) whose operations are
spread across the world, with approximately 80% of
the group’s revenue generated in countries other
than New Zealand.
International Standard on Auditing (ISA) 600
(Revised) for group audits was effective for the first
time in the current year audit. Under this revised
standard, the group auditor has greater responsibility
for identifying and assessing risks of material
misstatement for the entire Group with input from the
component audit teams (being other audit teams
performing work in relation to some of the Group’s
businesses).
A significant area of focus when conducting the audit
was performing a risk assessment in relation to the
Group’s financial statements, determining the nature
and extent of procedures to be performed by each
component audit team and our involvement in the
work of component audit teams, which includes
assessing adequacy of their work.
As the coordinating primary team (“group audit team”
or “we”), EY New Zealand performed risk assessment
for the entire group with input from component audit
teams. The group audit team considered risks of
material misstatement to the Group financial
statements to determine the accounts and extent of
work assigned to each component audit team in
relevant locations. Consideration was given to the
nature, size and risks associated with each of the
group’s businesses and the results of our risk
assessment procedures performed.
In fulfilling our responsibilities as the group audit
team, we:
▪ sent instructions to the component audit teams,
including significant risk areas to be considered,
audit testing thresholds and the information to be
reported back to the group audit team. The
component and group audit teams then
determined the extent and nature of audit
procedures to be performed.
▪ performed centralised testing over certain
accounts and performed work in relation to a
number of business units.
▪ communicated with component audit teams as
their audits progressed and performed review of
the reporting from component audit teams which
explained the results of, and significant matters
arising during, their audits.
▪ evaluated the work performed by the component
audit teams for adequacy for our purpose. This
included reviewing certain audit workpapers of
the component audit teams which responded to
higher risk areas.
During the year, members of the group audit team
visited management and component audit teams in
China. We also held discussions with the component
audit teams for all relevant non-New Zealand
locations. During these discussions, the work
performed by each team was considered, and the key
judgements were discussed, as were findings relevant
to the group audit.
We reported to the Audit Committee:
i) The results of audit procedures and testing
performed by both the group and components
teams; and
ii) Any misstatements identified that warrant
reporting based on quantitative or qualitative
grounds.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the other information. The other information
comprises the annual report, which includes the Climate Statement but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.
If, based upon the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements
The directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal
control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on
behalf of the entity the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors
either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing
(New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated
financial statements.

Reporting Entity
Skellerup Holdings Limited (‘the Company’ or ‘the Parent’) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New
Zealand. It is registered under the Companies Act 1993 with its registered office at Level 3, 205 Great South Road, Greenlane,
Auckland. The Company is a Reporting Entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and is listed on the New
Zealand Exchange (NZX Main Board) with the ticker SKL. These financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance
with a resolution of the directors on 21 August 2025.
(a) Nature of operations
The Skellerup Group of companies design, manufacture, and distribute engineered products for a variety of specialist
industrial and agricultural applications. Skellerup’s operations are split into two units: the Agri Division, a world leading
provider of food grade dairy rubberware, filters, and animal health products to the global dairy industry; and the Industrial
Division, a global specialist for technically demanding products used in water, roofing, plumbing, sport and leisure,
electrical, health and hygiene, automotive and mining applications.
(b) Basis of preparation
These financial statements of the Group, a profit-oriented business, are for the year ended 30 June 2025.
(c) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with
New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (NZ GAAP) and the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct
Act 2013. For the purpose of complying with NZ GAAP, the Group is a for-profit entity. The financial statements comply with
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). The financial statements also comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD) and
all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless indicated otherwise.
The Group’s accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in those financial statements, and
have been applied consistently by all Group entities.
To ensure consistency with the current period, comparative figures have been amended to conform with current period
presentation where appropriate.
The accounting principles recognised as appropriate for the measuring and reporting of profit and loss and financial
position on a historical-cost basis have been applied, except for derivative financial instruments, which have been
measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Critical accounting judgements, estimates
and assumptions are detailed in Note (f).
(d) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together
‘the Group’) as at 30 June 2025. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable return from its
involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically,
the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
• Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee);
• Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
• The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business
combination is measured at fair value. Fair value is calculated as the sum of: the acquisition-date fair values of the assets
transferred by the Group; the liabilities incurred by the Group to former owners; the equity issued by the Group; and
the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group measures the non-
controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

for the year ended 30 June 2025
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements

93
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances, income and expense transactions, and profit
and losses resulting from intra-Group activities, have been eliminated.
(e) Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the currency that best reflects
the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to that entity (the ‘functional currency’). The
consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars (the ‘presentation currency’), which is the functional
currency of the Parent.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated to New Zealand dollars at the
foreign exchange rate ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the income
statement, except when deferred in OCI as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using
the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that
are stated at fair value are translated to New Zealand dollars at foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates the fair value was
determined.
Group companies
The assets and liabilities of all Group companies that have a functional currency that differs from the presentation
currency, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on consolidation, are translated to New Zealand dollars
at foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The revenues and expenses of these foreign operations
are translated to New Zealand dollars at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the
transactions. Exchange differences arising from the translation of foreign operations are recognised in the foreign
currency translation reserve. On any disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular
foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities
of the foreign entity and are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.
(f) Significant accounting judgements and assumptions
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, a number of judgements have been made and estimates
of future events applied. Judgements and estimates which are material to the financial statements are found in the
following note.
• Note 10 Impairment of goodwill page 103

1. Segment Information
An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the entity which is reported as an organisational unit, engages in
business activities, earns revenue and incurs expenses, and whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief
operating decision-maker to allocate resources and assess performance.
The Group’s operating segments are Agri and Industrial, being the divisions reported to the executive management and
Board of Directors to assess performance of the Group and allocate resources. The principal measure of performance for each
segment is EBIT (earnings before interest and tax). As a result, finance costs and taxation have not been allocated to each
segment.
Agri Division
The Agri Division manufactures and distributes dairy rubberware which includes milking liners, tubing, filters and feeding
teats, together with other related agricultural products and rubber footwear to global agricultural markets.
Industrial Division
The Industrial Division manufactures and distributes engineered products across a range of industrial applications, including
potable and waste water, roofing, plumbing, sport and leisure, electrical, health and hygiene.
Corporate Division
The Corporate Division is not an operating segment, and includes the Parent company and other central administration
expenses that have not been allocated to the Agri and Industrial Divisions.

2. Operating Revenue
The Group is in the business of designing, manufacturing and distributing engineered products. Revenue from contracts with
customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects
the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The Group has
concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements, because it controls the goods and services before transferring
them to the customer.
The Agri and Industrial segments have similar performance obligations. The performance obligation is satisfied upon
delivery of product and payment is generally due within 30 to 120 days of delivery. Some contracts provide customers
with volume rebates which give rise to variable consideration and are accounted for accordingly. There are no
maintenance or service contracts with customers.

5. Taxation
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered
from, or paid to, taxation authorities based on the current period’s taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used to
compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred income tax is provided on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
96
97
5. Taxation (continued)
Deferred income tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences except:
• For a deferred income tax liability arising from the initial recognition of goodwill; or
• Where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a
business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised. The carrying amount of
deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable
that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilised.

6. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less.
In New Zealand, some Group companies operate bank accounts in overdraft. Under the Group facilities arrangement, bank
facility overdrafts have a legal right of set-off against bank accounts in funds. Therefore, only the net in funds position has
been disclosed.
All cash is available and under the control of the Group and there are no restrictions relating to the use of the cash
balances disclosed.
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and cash equivalents as defined
above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Cash flows are included in the cash flow statement on a net basis and the
GST/VAT component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable
to, the taxation authority, is classified as operating cash flows.

7. Trade and Other Receivables and Prepayments
Trade receivables represent the Group’s right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional. Trade receivables are
recognised and measured at the transaction price determined under NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses where there is an increase in credit risk subsequent to initial
recognition.

The average credit period for the sale of goods is 47 days (2024: 48 days). The Group offers credit terms ranging from
30 to 120 days to those customers for whom the Group has been able to validate acceptable credit quality. The credit terms
and limits are reviewed monthly. No interest is charged on the trade receivables.
Of the trade receivables balance at the end of the year, $10.7 million (2024: $11.1 million) representing 19.8% (2024: 21.6%)
of the trade receivables are due from the Group’s three largest customers. The balances due from these customers are
current and are considered to be a low credit risk to the Group.

The Group applies an inventory valuation policy of valuing at the lower of original cost or net realisable value. Where
inventory is written down below cost, estimates are made of the realisable value less cost to sell to determine the net
realisable value.
Costs incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition are accounted for as follows:
• Raw materials as the purchase cost on a first-in, first-out basis;
• Finished goods and work-in-progress as the cost of direct materials and labour and a proportion of manufacturing
overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Upon sale, the carrying value of inventories is recognised in cost of sales in the income statement.

The value of inventories is net of $2,493,531 (2024: $2,158,164) in respect of write-downs across all categories of inventory
to net realisable value. All inventory write-down movements are included in the cost of sales.
9. Property, Plant and Equipment
All classes of property, plant and equipment are recorded initially at cost, including costs directly attributable to
bringing the asset to working condition and ready for its intended use. Subsequently, property, plant and equipment
is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Depreciation of property, plant and
equipment, other than freehold land, which is carried at cost, is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful life of the asset as follows:
Buildings: 40 years
Plant and equipment: Two to 30 years
Furniture, fittings and other: Two to 10 years
Right-of-use assets: Term of the lease
The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience, manufacturers’ warranties and
management’s judgement on the performance of the asset. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether or not there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an
indicator of impairment exists, the Group makes a formal estimate of the recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of
an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

9. Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected
to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the
difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item) is included in the income statement in
the year in which the item is derecognised.

(a) Goodwill
Goodwill acquired in a business combination is measured initially at cost, being the excess of the consideration transferred
over the fair value of the Group’s net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration transferred is
lower than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in the income
statement. Separately recognised goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed.
Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of the cash
generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the greater of its value in use and fair value less costs to
sell. This requires certain assumptions being made in determining the recoverable amount of the CGU, using a value-in-
use discounted cash flow methodology, to which the goodwill has been allocated. The assumptions used in determining the
recoverable amount and the carrying amount of goodwill are detailed below.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
102
103
10. Intangible Assets (continued)
(b) Software and other intangible assets
Identifiable intangible assets, which are acquired separately or in a business combination, are capitalised at cost at the date
of acquisition and stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Subsequent expenditure on
intangible assets is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it
relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred. Software costs are recorded as intangible assets and amortised over
periods of five to 10 years.
(c) Research and development costs
Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward
when its future recoverability can be regarded reasonably as assured. Following the initial recognition of the development
expenditure, the cost model is applied requiring the asset to be carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and
impairment losses.
Any expenditure carried forward is amortised over the period of expected future sales from the related project.
The amortisation period and amortisation method for development costs are reviewed at each financial year-end. If the
useful life or method of consumption is different from that of the previous assessment, changes are made accordingly.
(d) Impairment tests for goodwill
(i) Description of cash-generating units
Goodwill acquired through business combinations has been allocated to the business units they form part of, with the
exception of the purchase of Silclear Limited and Talbot Advanced Technologies Limited, which have their own CGUs.
In some circumstances business units are combined into a larger CGU for the purposes of testing to determine fairly the
carrying value of the CGU against the value in use.
The goodwill allocated to each CGU is shown in the table below. The changes in goodwill recorded are attributable to
exchange rate movements on the translation of the goodwill balances denominated in foreign currencies. The net present
value of future estimated cash flows exceeds the carrying value of the CGU based on a value-in-use calculation. A pre-
tax discount rate of 13.35% (2024: 13.44%) has been applied to discount future estimated cash flows to their present value.

(ii) Assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount
The estimated future cash flows generated have been determined from the business plans and detailed budgets prepared by
management as part of the annual business planning that is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors. Such forecasts
analyse and quantify a range of growth objectives which form the basis for determining the business growth
and direction over the next three years.
The estimated cash flow in perpetuity is based upon the forecast year five cash flows and then an estimate of sustainable
growth beyond this time period of 1.5% per annum.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
104
105
10. Intangible Assets (continued)
Key assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations are as follows:
Revenue assumptions
Revenue has been forecast to increase in a range of 3% to 7% per annum (2024: -2% to 19%) on a weighted average basis
over the following five-year period in line with the Group’s strategic business plans to develop and introduce new products,
in addition to continuing to support and grow the Group’s existing global customer relationships.
Discount rate assumptions
The discount rate is intended to reflect the time value of money and the risks specific to the Group achieving its forecast cash
flows. In determining the appropriate discount rate, regard has been given to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
of the Group, which has been updated as at 30 June 2025, to reflect the current market interest rates and the additional
cost of capital applicable in the current risk environment. Any reasonable change to WACC is not expected to result in any
impairment of goodwill.
Commodity cost pricing assumptions
With the base raw material component being synthetic and natural rubbers sourced from Asia, the pricing of these raw
materials can fluctuate: many of the synthetics are by-products of the petrochemical industry, and natural rubbers are
influenced by global supply and demand factors. Pricing assumptions have been made in the Group forecasts that
any cost increases driven by commodity price changes will be passed through to customers.
Market share assumptions
In preparing forecasts, the Group’s business plans show no loss of market share. The Group’s strategy is to continue to
expand in global markets, especially in North America and Europe. This is the case particularly for the Gulf CGU, which has
dedicated manufacturing and distribution capabilities established in these markets.
Growth rate assumptions
The growth rates have been based on business plan assumptions applied in the preparation of the annual business plans
for the new financial year and the following two years, with assumed lower growth rates of 2% (2024: 2%) in years four and
five and 1.5% (2024: 1.5%) in perpetuity. This process is based on key strategies that have been quantified at a product and
customer level, reviewed by senior management and approved by the Board of Directors.
(iii) Sensitivity to assumption changes
Estimates made of future cash flows are based on current market conditions. With trading across a number of different
products covering a wide industry base, and through a number of international markets, the risk of significant change
to cash flow projections is mitigated. Any change in future cash flow projections, which is influenced by price changes,
foreign currency movements and competitor activities, is expected to have only minimal impact and is unlikely to cause an
impairment risk to the goodwill allocated to the various CGUs, particularly with the estimated net present value of each CGU
tested well above the carrying value of assets, including goodwill.
No reasonably possible change in assumptions would lead to an impairment of goodwill.
11. Trade and Other Payables
Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost and, due to their short-term nature, are not discounted. They
represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid,
and arise when the Group becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and
services. The amounts are unsecured and paid usually within 30 to 60 days of recognition.

12. Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event,
it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the
reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating
to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement. Provisions are measured at the present
value of management’s best estimates of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance date.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash
flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate,
the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is
recognised as a finance cost.

(a) Employee entitlements
(i) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave expected to
be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date.
They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Liabilities for non-accumulating sick
leave are recognised when the leave is taken and are measured at the rates paid or payable.
(ii) Long-service leave
The liability for long-service leave is recognised and measured at the present value of expected future payments to
be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using a probability calculation of the
employee reaching the future service milestones. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels,
experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market
yields on high quality corporate bonds at the reporting date with terms to maturity and currencies that match, as closely
as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
106
107
12. Provisions (continued)
(iii) Defined contribution scheme
The Group contributes to post-employment schemes for its employees. Under these schemes, the benefits received
by the employee are determined by the amount of the contribution paid by the Group, together with any investment
returns and, hence, the actuarial and investment risk is borne entirely by the employee. Therefore, because the Group’s
obligations are determined by the amount paid during each period, no actuarial assumptions are required to measure
the obligation or the expense.
(b) Warranties
In determining the level of provision required for warranties, the Group has made judgements in respect of the expected
performance of products and the costs of rectifying any products that do not meet the customers’ quality standards.
The provision for warranty claims represents the present value of the Directors’ best judgement or estimate of the future
outflow of economic benefits that will be required under the Group’s various product warranty programmes.
The actual cost may vary as a result of new materials, altered manufacturing processes or other events affecting product
quality.
13. Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings
All loans and borrowings are recognised initially at the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable
transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right
to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Bank New Zealand Limited and Bank of New Zealand) which has an expiry date of 31 August 2028 (2024: expiry date of 31
August 2026).
Derivative financial instruments are used by the Group in the normal course of business in order to hedge exposure
to fluctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates.
The carrying amount of tangible assets of the Charging Group (which excludes Skellerup Jiangsu Limited and other
smaller entities in the Group) totalling $234 million (2024: $225 million) is pledged as security to secure the above term
loans. Tangible assets are defined in the facility agreement as cash at bank, receivables, inventory and property, plant
and equipment.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (i.e. an asset which
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use or sale) are capitalised as part of the cost of that
asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.

14. Right-of-use Assets and Lease Liabilities
The Group has entered into commercial leases on properties, motor vehicles and plant. The Group recognises right-
of-use leased assets and liabilities at the present value of future lease payments for existing lease terms and all lease
renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Certain low value and short-term leases are excluded.
Lease payments are recorded as a repayment of the lease obligation and interest expense instead of as an operating
expense in the income statement. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the current lease term.
Lease payments are discounted at the rate implicit in the lease, or if not readily determinable, the Group’s incremental
borrowing rate.
The costs of low value and short-term leases are recognised as an expense in the income statement.

The Group is subject to certain lease arrangements where future lease payments depend on an index. Future changes in
lease payments arising from movements in the index have not been included in the measurement of lease liabilities.
The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. These options are negotiated
by management to provide flexibility in managing the leased-asset portfolio to align with the Group’s business needs.
Management exercises judgment in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to
be exercised.

All shares are fully paid and have no par value. Each ordinary share confers on the holder one vote at any shareholder
meeting of the Company and carries the right to dividends.
The Directors’ objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern, as well as to maintain optimal returns
to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Directors aim to provide a capital structure which:
• Provides an efficient and cost-effective source of funds;
• Is balanced with external debt to provide a secure structure to support the short and long-term funding
of the Group; and
• Ensures that the ratio of funds sourced from shareholders and external debt is maintained proportionately at
a level which does not create a credit and liquidity risk to the Group.
The Company is listed on the New Zealand Exchange and is, therefore, subject to continuous disclosure obligations to
inform shareholders and the market of any matters which affect the capital of the Company. This includes changes to the
capital structure, new share issues, dividend payments and any other significant matter which affects the creditworthiness
or liquidity of the Group.
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

18. Share-based Incentive Scheme
Skellerup Group operates a long-term incentive scheme for the benefit of senior executives and management. The scheme
permits the Board to grant options to acquire fully paid shares in the Company. The options can be exercised by the
recipients, subject to their continued employment in a future period as determined by the Board of Skellerup.
(a) 2024 Incentive Scheme
On 3 October 2024, the Board awarded 1,000,000 options to the CEO, CFO, and four senior managers (the participants),
issued at an exercise price of $4.85, being the weighted average price of Skellerup’s shares in the prior twenty-day trading
period. The options can be exercised in the period beginning on 1 September 2027 and ending on 1 November 2027.
Upon exercise, participants will be issued one ordinary share in Skellerup per option exercised, or they may elect to be
issued the number of shares as is equal to the difference between the market value of Skellerup’s ordinary shares on the
exercise date and the exercise price. The options have been fair valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula.
The fair value has been determined as $858,000 for the 1,000,000 options on issue. The expense recognised in the current
period for the incentive scheme is $221,000 (2024: nil).
(b) 2022 Incentive Scheme
On 1 November 2022, the Board awarded 1,800,000 options to the former CEO and former CFO (current CEO), issued at
an exercise price of $5.17, being the weighted average price of Skellerup’s shares in the prior twenty-day trading period.
On 28 March 2024, 1,000,000 options were forfeited on the retirement of the former CEO from the Company. The expense
that had been recognised up to the date of forfeiture of $649,000 was reversed in FY24. On 1 November 2024, the remaining
800,000 options issued to the current CEO lapsed as the exercise price of the options exceeded the Company’s share price.
The options were fair valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes formula. The fair value was determined as $671,550
for the 800,000 options granted to the current CEO. The expense recognised in the current period was $61,000 (2024:
$711,000). Upon lapsing, the fair value of the options lapsed has been transferred from the Employee Share Plan Reserve to
Retained Earnings.
19. Earnings per Share
Earnings per share is calculated as net profit attributable to members of the Parent, adjusted to exclude any costs of
servicing equity (other than dividends), divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares.

21. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies
The Group’s principal financial instruments comprise receivables, payables, bank loans and overdrafts, lease liabilities,
cash and derivatives. Because of these financial instruments, the principal financial risks to the Group are movements in
foreign currency and interest rates. Credit risk and liquidity risk are considered also to be risk areas and are, therefore,
closely managed.
The Board reviews and agrees upon policies for managing financial risk. The Group enters into derivative transactions,
principally forward foreign currency contracts and options and interest rate swaps. The purpose is to manage the currency
and interest rate risks arising from the Group’s operations and its sources of finance.
Credit risk is managed through regular review of aged analysis of receivable ledgers. The credit risk exposures are the
receivables recorded in Note 7. Liquidity risk is monitored through the review of future rolling cash flow forecasts. These cash
flow forecasts are updated on a weekly basis with particular emphasis placed on the prospective four-week period. These
forecasts are monitored constantly against limitations of the entire debt facility.
(a) Interest rate risk
(i) Risk exposures and responses
The Group’s exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations. Interest rates on
bank loans are linked to short-term market interest rates plus agreed margins.
The Group’s policy is to monitor its interest rate exposure and to hedge the volatility arising from interest rate changes
by entering into interest rate swap contracts that cover a minimum of 25% and a maximum of 75% of the core debt where
forecast core debt is greater than $20 million. Where forecast core debt is less than $20 million, there is no minimum level of
fixed interest rates.
The level of debt is disclosed in Note 13. A reasonably expected movement in the interest rate would not have a material
impact on profit or equity. At reporting date, the Group had the following mix of financial assets and liabilities exposed to
interest rate risk.

(b) Foreign currency risk
The Group imports raw materials and finished goods from, and exports finished goods to, a number of foreign suppliers
and customers. The main foreign currencies traded are US dollars (USD), Australian dollars (AUD), British pounds (GBP)
and Euro (EUR).
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements

21. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
The Group seeks to cover up to 100% of the net foreign currency cash flow forecast, for the next 12-month period, with
foreign currency contracts and options. Where the foreign currency cash flows can be forecasted reliably beyond the future
12-month period, such cash flows may also be covered by foreign currency contracts of up to 75% of the forecast cash flows.
The Group also has translational currency exposures. Such exposures arise from subsidiary operating entities that transact
in currencies other than the Group’s functional currency. Currently, the Group does not hedge these exposures.
(i) Foreign currency net monetary assets
The Group has the following net monetary assets in foreign currency values which are in different currencies from the
subsidiary’s base currency and will revalue either through the income statement or the statement of comprehensive income:

Significant assumptions used in the foreign currency exposure sensitivity analysis are as follows:
(a) The range of possible foreign exchange rate movements was determined by a review of the last two years’ historical
movements and economists’ views of future movements.
(b) The Group’s trend of trading in foreign currency values is not expected to change materially over future periods.
(c) The Group’s net exposure to foreign currency at balance date is representative of past periods and is expected
to remain relatively consistent for the future 12-month period.
(d) The price sensitivity of derivatives has been based on a reasonably possible movement of the spot rate applied
at balance date.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
112
113
21. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
The effect on other comprehensive income results from foreign currency revaluations through the cash flow hedge
reserve and the foreign currency translation reserve. The sensitivity analysis does not include financial instruments that
are non-monetary items as these are not considered to give rise to a currency risk.
(c) Credit risk
All customers who trade with any Group subsidiary on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures including
an assessment of their independent credit rating and financial position. Risk limits are set for individual customers
according to the risk profile of each and, where it is considered appropriate, registrations are made to record a secured
interest in the products supplied. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with appropriate allowances for
expected credit losses.
(d) Liquidity risk
The Group monitors its future cash inflows and outflows through rolling cash flow forecasts. At balance date, the liquidity
risk is considered to be low with the bank facility not fully drawn, compliance with bank covenants, and forecast cash
flows reporting positive operating cash generation for the Group over the next financial year. The following maturity
analysis shows the profile of future payment commitments of the Group. With the available bank facility and the ability
for the business to generate future positive operating cash inflows, the obligation to meet the forward commitments is
considered to be a low risk.

21. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies (continued)
(ii) Fair value
The financial instruments that have been fair valued by the Group are detailed in Note 22 and have a fair value of $1,256,000
(2024: $875,000).
Under NZ IFRS, there are three methods available for estimating the fair value of financial instruments. These are:
Level 1 – the fair value is calculated using quoted prices in active markets.
Level 2 – the fair value is estimated using inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
assets or liabilities, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices).
Level 3 – the fair value is estimated using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
In determining the fair value of all derivatives, the Group has applied valuation techniques such as forward pricing and swap
models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate inputs such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates,
interest and forward rate curves.
22. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities in the scope of NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are classified as either financial assets
and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, debt instruments at amortised cost, derivatives designated as hedging
instruments, or interest bearing loans. When financial assets and liabilities are recognised initially, they are measured at fair
value, plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group
determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities on initial recognition. Reclassifications of financial assets are
only made upon a change to the Group’s business model. Financial liabilities are not reclassified.
(a) Recognition and derecognition
All regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date: i.e. the date that the Group commits
to purchase the asset. Regular purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets under contracts that require
delivery of the assets within the period established generally by regulation or convention in the market place. Financial
assets are derecognised when the Group no longer controls the contractual rights that comprise the financial instrument,
which is normally the case when the instrument is sold, or all the cash flows attributable to the instrument are passed
through to an independent third party. Gains and losses on financial assets are exclusive of interest and dividends, which are
recognised separately.
(i) Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets classified as held for trading are included in the category ‘financial assets at fair value through profit and
loss’. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term with
the intention of making a profit. Derivatives are classified also as held for trading unless they are designated as effective
hedging instruments.
Detail of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities are shown below. Material accounting policies and methods adopted,
including the criteria for recognition, the basis of measurement and the basis in which income and expenses are recognised,
in respect of each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument, are disclosed in the preceding notes.

Where the financial assets and financial liabilities are shown at amortised cost, their cost approximates fair value.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and options and interest rate swaps
to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency and interest rate fluctuations. Such derivative financial instruments
are recognised initially at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are remeasured
subsequently to fair value. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their
fair value is negative.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives, except for those that qualify as cash flow hedges,
are taken directly to profit or loss for the year. The fair values of forward currency contracts and options are calculated by
reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profiles. The fair values of interest rate swap
contracts are determined by reference to market values for similar instruments.
For the purposes of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:
• Fair value hedges when they hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability; or
• Cash flow hedges when they hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable either to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or to a forecast transaction.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the
Group wishes to apply hedge accounting, and the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge.
The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk
being hedged and how the Group will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in
the hedged item’s fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective
in achieving offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they
actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
Skellerup Annual Report FY25Consolidated Financial Statements
116
117
22. Financial Instruments (continued)
Hedges that meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
(ii) Cash flow hedges
Cash flow hedges are hedges of the Group’s exposure to variability in cash flows, which is attributable to a particular risk
associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and that could affect profit or loss.
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in the statement of comprehensive
income, while the ineffective portion is recognised in the income statement.
Amounts taken to the statement of comprehensive income are transferred out of the statement of comprehensive income and
included in the measurement of the hedged transaction (sales or inventory purchases) when the forecast transaction occurs.
If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, amounts previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive
income are transferred to the income statement.
If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or, if its designation as a hedge
is revoked, amounts previously recognised in the statement of comprehensive income remain in the statement of comprehensive
income until the forecast transaction occurs. If the related transaction is not expected to occur, the amount is recognised in the
income statement.

(c) Forward currency contracts and options
The Group imports a large proportion of its raw materials and finished goods, and has export sales to a number of
customers. As a result, the Group has both inward and outward foreign currency cash flows. Both the inward cash flows and
the outward cash flows are tested and the net value is hedged against highly probable forecasted sales and purchases.
The main currency exposures are in US dollars, Euro, Australian dollars and British pounds. At balance date, details of
outstanding foreign currency contracts and options are as follows:

The forward currency contracts and options are considered to be highly effective hedges as they are matched against
forecast inventory purchases and export sales, and any gain or loss on the contracts attributable to the hedge risk is taken
directly to other comprehensive income.
Amounts are transferred out of other comprehensive income and included in the measurement of the hedged transaction
(sales or purchases) when the forecast transaction occurs. Movements in the cash flow hedge reserve are recorded in the
Statement of Comprehensive Income.
(d) Interest rate swap agreements
The Group seeks to fix a minimum of 25% and a maximum of 75% of its interest rate risk considering current and projected
debt levels, when forecast core debt is expected to exceed $20 million. At 30 June 2025 the Group had no interest rate swap
agreements in place as forecast core debt (core debt expected balance in 12 months from reporting date) is not expected to
exceed $20 million.
(e) Credit risk
Credit risk arises from potential failure of counterparties to meet their obligations at the maturity dates of contracts. Because
the counterparties of the above financial derivatives are ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and ASB Bank Limited (2024: ANZ
Bank New Zealand Limited and Bank of New Zealand), there is minimal credit risk.

25. Abnormal Tax Item
Abnormal items are determined in accordance with the principles of consistency, relevance and clarity. Transactions
considered for classification as abnormal items are transactions or events outside of the Group’s ongoing operations that
have a significant impact on reported profit after tax.

Deferred tax on removal of tax depreciation on buildings-(3,121)(3,121)
On 28 March 2024, the New Zealand Government enacted changes to tax legislation to remove the ability to depreciate
buildings with a life over 50 years for tax deduction purposes. For the Group the application of this taxation change under
NZ IAS 12 Income Taxes creates a tax carrying value for the Wigram building of nil from 1 July 2024 onwards. This increases
the deferred taxation liability by $3,121,000 and creates a one-off non-cash accounting adjustment to the taxation expense
for deferred tax on buildings for the year ended 30 June 2024 of $3,121,000. The application of NZ IAS 12 which creates this
deferred taxation liability does not reflect taxation payable if the assets were sold.
26. Significant Events after Balance Date
The Directors agreed to pay a final dividend, imputed to 50%, of 16.5 cents per share on 17 October 2025, to shareholders
on the register at 5.00pm on 3 October 2025. This dividend is not recorded in the financial statements.
There are no other events subsequent to balance date that require additional disclosure.
27. New Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but have not yet commenced to apply, up to the
date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these standards, if
applicable, when they become effective.
NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
NZ IFRS 18 introduces new requirements around the presentation of the income statement. It also requires disclosure
of management-defined performance measures, subtotals of income and expenses, and includes new requirements for
aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.

Dairy growth broad-based with demand remaining strong throughout FY25.
•Growth from new and existing products (both OEM and Skellerup branded)
drove revenue and margin expansion.
•International sales up 10% on pcp with consistently strong demand across the
year (1H24 was impacted by destocking).
•NZ domestic market strong with sales up 6% on pcp.
•Higher production volumes, productivity and process improvements translating
to operating leverage and earnings growth.
Footwear mixed:
•Revenue growth in NZ domestic market including newly launched Red Band

Low was more than offset by the impact increasing raw material costs and the
impact of planned lower production volumes to manage inventory levels.
Global demand for protein continues to increase. Opportunity and focus on growth
from product innovation using our multi-channel model and into emerging markets.

Agri Division
Global business, 63% of FY25 revenue earned from international markets
•Dairy: More than 70% of revenue earned from international markets. Growth in North America and European markets from both OEM demand and Skellerup-
branded products. Strong NZ domestic demand has offset reductions in smaller UK & Ireland and Australian markets.
•Skellerup products are primarily essential consumable products, which significantly negates the impact of economic cycles.
•Footwear: More than 65% of revenue earned in the NZ market. Revenue growth was negated by higher raw material costs and lower production levels.
•NZ market growth over five years aided by increased presence at Bunnings and, more recently, Mitre 10. New products added to the range and in development.
•International sales predominantly speciality footwear.

Skellerup achieves another record result
Broad-based revenue growth underpinned a record year for Skellerup, generating earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT) of $78.0 million, a seven per cent increase over the prior year.
Highlights for the year ending 30 June 2025
• Revenue of $353.5 million, up 7% on the prior comparative period (pcp)
• EBIT of $78.0 million – a record result, up 7% on the pcp
o Industrial Division’s EBIT of $48.4 million – a record result, up 3% on the pcp
o Agri Division’s EBIT of $35.3 million – a record result, up 15% on the pcp
• Net profit after tax (NPAT) of $54.5 million – a record result, up 9% on the pcp
• Operating cash flow of $66.5 million, down 6% on the pcp due to working capital investment
• Net debt of $12.4 million, down 19% on the pcp
• Final dividend of 16.5 cents per share (cps) (50% imputed), bringing the total FY25 dividend
to 25.5 cps (50% imputed) for the full year, up 6% on the pcp
Group
CEO Graham Leaming said the Skellerup team performed well across the world. “We had consistent
performance across the Group in FY25, delivering FY25 EBIT of $78.0 million, an increase of seven
per cent over the pcp. This was the ninth successive year of EBIT growth, and has been enabled by
the focus, quality, adaptability and tenacity of our team, supported by robust allocation of financial
capital.”
Leaming added, “Adaptability has been an important competency in recent years. Having navigated
the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and regional conflicts interrupting freight
routes, significant tariff cost increases became the dominant issue in the second half of FY25. The
United States market is our largest, with 37 per cent of Group revenue generated from this market
in FY25. We anticipated these tariff increases (at least to some extent) and mitigated the impact on
FY25 by building inventory ahead of their imposition and then by moving swiftly with pricing and
cost initiatives. Also, and importantly – both ahead of and post their imposition – we have been
investing in modernising our manufacturing capability to build a more flexible platform capable of
in-market deployment.”
Lower financing costs provided an additional boost, resulting in NPAT of $54.5 million, up nine per
cent on the prior year’s Underlying NPAT (FY24’s NPAT of $46.9 million included a $3.1 million non-
recurring, non-cash tax charge required for the change in legislation in New Zealand to remove tax
depreciation deductions on buildings. To provide a like comparison, Skellerup reported an
Underlying NPAT of $50.0 million for FY24).
Industrial Division
The Industrial Division’s EBIT was $48.4 million – a fifth consecutive record result and up three per
cent on the pcp. Revenue was $241.3 million, up seven per cent on the pcp. Skellerup’s products for
industrial applications are manufactured across the world. Increased tariffs net of recoveries had a
limited impact on FY25 due to inventory management, pricing and costing initiatives.
Leaming noted, “Earnings growth was more modest than in recent years. Sales of engineered
polymer products and vacuum systems for potable water, wastewater and industrial control
applications were up in the US and Australia. Roofing and construction sales grew, spurred by the
installation of solar systems in the UK, more than offsetting the impact of a soft Australasian
construction market. Marine foam (U-DEK
TM
) sales into the US began to strengthen in the second
half of the year after a prolonged period of low demand and inventory adjustment by our customers.
Product mix, freight cost volatility, tariff costs and investment in development for expansion partially
offset revenue growth impact on earnings.”
Agri Division
EBIT for the Agri Division was $35.3 million – a record result and up 15 per cent on the pcp. Revenue
was $113.8 million, up eight per cent on the pcp.
Leaming explained, “Demand for essential consumables for the global dairy industry was
consistently strong throughout FY25, in contrast to FY24 where the first half of the year was
impacted by customer destocking. FY25 sales in the New Zealand market were up six per cent and
sales in international markets were up ten per cent. We have a multi-channel approach to this
market, supplying our food-grade-compliant consumables and products to original equipment
manufacturers (OEM) of milking platforms and our own branded products to customers throughout
the world.”
Footwear’s contribution was lower in FY25. Demand strengthened in the second half of the year
after a subdued start; however, higher material costs and reduced production to manage inventory
levels negatively impacted the FY25 results. Countering these impacts, the Red Band
TM
Low, tailored
for quick jobs around the home, garden or farm, was successfully launched and the limited-edition
Pink Band gumboot in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand (BCFNZ) was again well
supported.
Application and Customer Focus
We continue to invest in developing products, people and manufacturing capability to ensure that
we deliver earnings growth in the future. We have a deliberate strategy to design and manufacture
predominantly polymer-based products for use in applications which demand precision, high
performance and conformance. We focus on applications where we have expertise and that
capitalise on our capability to integrate multiple materials. Our collective strength in material
science, product design and manufacturing processes provide us with a point of difference to deliver
valuable, critical products for our global customers.
Leaming noted, “Ensuring our product development initiatives are focused on a clear understanding
of customer needs is crucial to deploying human and financial capital for the best return and
(obviously) meeting customer requirements. Customer feedback places great value on our ability to
rapidly prototype products to give them tangible items to evaluate. This builds trust and confidence,
and, with customer commitment or market conviction, we are then able to convert these into
production quickly.”
Potable water, wastewater and industrial control applications continue to provide significant
opportunity for growth, and this is an area we will reinforce with more in-market resource to
capitalise. These applications demand products that deliver high performance and conformance – a
perfect fit for our technical capability. We have a good pipeline of new products for customers
across the world.
Dairy is one of the cornerstones of Skellerup and the demand for protein globally continues to grow.
Our focus is to develop innovative products with features that deliver productivity gains for farmers.
Over the past 18 months, we have successfully launched new high-performance milking liners in the
US market and the first products from our Thriver
TM
calf feeding range into New Zealand and
international markets. We have also been investing in modernising our manufacturing capability,
which has reduced engineered and production waste as well as energy consumption, has improved
productivity and provides a platform for possible future deployment in other markets.
Looking Ahead
Chair John Strowger highlighted the durability of the Skellerup business and the potential this
presents for expansion.
“I have talked previously of our preference for incremental growth and development as a least-risk
approach. We are, by nature, conservative. However, some of the future initiatives we may
implement (in particular, if the establishment of in-market capability is pursued) will be more
significant, from both a financial and operational perspective. In addition, it will be important to
develop new markets for our products – the establishment of in-market capability would result in
capacity at existing facilities. The management team is undertaking work in this area now, in
anticipation of this occurrence in the future.”
Strowger noted further that there is scope for the next 12 to 36 months to be quite a watershed
period for Skellerup.
“As we move to best configure the business for the future, there are exciting times ahead.
Shareholders can be assured that we will be cautious in the deployment of capital. Of course, it
helps that we have a very strong balance sheet – net debt on 30 June was $12.4 million (a $3.0
million reduction from FY24). This has also enabled the Board to declare dividends totalling 25.5
cents per share in FY25 – another record. The increase in dividend (which amounts to a distribution
of 92 per cent of FY25’s NPAT) is also a reflection of the Board’s confidence in Skellerup’s future.”
