Financial Performance
•Winton has delivered revenue of $155.4 million, 10.5% down from $173.6 million
in FY24. A total of 266 units were settled, a decrease of 79 units.
•Cost of goods sold of $95.9 million is lower than FY24 by $7.4 million or 7.2%.
Although there was a lower proportion of built product settled by volume in FY25,
the cost per unit was higher as the built product was more premium than the built
product settled in FY24.
•Commercial revenue increased by $13.7 million in FY25 due to Ayrburn
contributing 12 months of trading compared to the previous period when it was
only open for 7 months.
•A fair value gain of $5.1 million resulted from the revaluation of commercial assets
and retirement land within the investment properties portfolio. This compares to
a loss of $1.7 million in FY24.
•Selling expenses were lower in FY25 by 26.3% due to reduced sales commission
and marketing spend.
•Employee benefits expense increased by $3.0 million in FY25 with Ayrburn trading
for an additional five months.
•Administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million with an increase in legal costs
of $2.4 million and other administrative expenses of $2.3 million due to the
growth of Winton’s operations. This was offset by a decrease in establishment
costs of $2.2 million. Establishment costs are those costs incurred in relation to
the pre-opening of Ayrburn venues, and these include branding, marketing,
recruitment, and employee training.

•Looking ahead to FY26, the focus at Ayrburn is visitor growth, gaining
further efficiencies from the multi-venue site, continuing to build the
event pipeline, and continuing to deliver the high-end Ayrburn
experience to every person that visits.

Market and Outlook
•Unemployment continues to increase, net migration is at the lowest
it has been in over 10 years and ready-made concrete volumes are
below the 10-year average. However, there are some positive signs
in Winton’s operating environment, including a declining Official
Cash Rate, increased competition amongst suppliers, lower labour
costs, and a rise in the number of houses sold compared to the
prior year, with the Queenstown-Lakes District outperforming the
rest of the country.
•In our view, given the current economic environment and property
market, it is a prudent time to avoid taking risks and conserve our
resources until the economy and market begin to turn around. We
will continue to operate with discipline. In the near term, this
means focusing primarily on Sunfield and Winton’s South Island
operations and developments, where the market has remained
buoyant.
•We will be judicious in committing further capital to projects until
we have conviction that the market has a positive outlook. We
maintain our view that we don’t expect this to occur until after
unemployment has peaked.
•We remain cautious but confident moving into FY26.
Winton is navigating the recession as well as possible and positioning the Company optimally to benefit from an improving
property cycle.

At 11.00am on Wednesday, 22 October 2025.
Welcome and thank you for joining us at Winton’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders for 2025

comments about the presentation, the financial statements, or auditor’s report
I encourage shareholders to submit their questions online through the virtual meeting platform as
soon as possible.
Before we head into the formal resolutions of today’s meetings, I thought I would take a moment
to reflect on Winton’s FY25 results and the landscape that we have been operating in.
The property market has remained subdued in many parts of New Zealand, particularly Auckland.
The economy has struggled, impacted by low growth, excessive bureaucracy, the challenging
property market and higher unemployment, as well as ongoing global uncertainty. While much of
this is beyond our control, we do control Winton’s response to the economic conditions and how
we strategically position the company for long-term shareholder value. With that being said,
3
Winton’s longstanding pre-sale strategy continued to serve us well and will continue to do so over
the coming years.
The presentation on screen shows various FY25 key statistics, as were set out in our FY25 Annual
Report.
Despite a difficult market and very challenging economic conditions, we have continued to settle
pre-sold properties, complete new projects, and diversify our revenue streams. This steadfastness
is a testament to our commitment and our ability to navigate the cyclical nature of the property
market to our advantage
Some business highlights include completion of Stage 1 of Northbrook Wanaka, and additional
venues at Ayrburn. You will see on screen various other highlights for Winton in FY25.
Winton delivered revenue of $155.4 million, 10.5% down from $173.6 million in FY24.
A total of 266 units were settled and commercial revenue increased by $13.7 million in FY25 due
to Ayrburn contributing 12 months of trading. A fair value gain of $5.1 million resulted from the
revaluation of commercial assets and retirement land within the investment properties portfolio.
There was an increase in administrative expenses, although this was offset by a decrease in
establishment costs, being those costs incurred in relation to the pre-opening of Ayrburn venues,
including branding, marketing, recruitment, and employee training.
The resultant net profit after tax in FY25 was $10.3 million, a reduction from $15.7 million net
profit after tax in the prior year.
In February, Winton submitted its detailed application for the Sunfield project under the Fast-
track Approvals Act 2024. The project has since been accepted into the fast-track process, and a
panel has been appointed. It is encouraging to see the New Zealand Government making progress
and we commend them on the process to date. We remain hopeful for a positive outcome on
Sunfield early in the New Year, and if approval is granted, it is Winton’s intention to commence
development immediately.
Recently, Winton’s Ayrburn Screen Hub was also accepted into the Fast-track process under the
Fast-track Approvals Act 2024. The Ayrburn Screen Hub is planned to be an all-inclusive film
studio, enabling users to work and stay onsite through filming, production and post-production.
The facility will be located adjacent to the Ayrburn Hospitality Precinct and Northbrook
Arrowtown. Should the project receive resource consent, it will be a valuable part of the Ayrburn
masterplan, generating significant recurring revenue from the Screen Hub and incremental
revenue growth for the hospitality precinct.
In addition to the residential settlements during FY25, we continued the momentum onsite at
some of our larger neighbourhoods.
In addition to the 183 land lots that were settled at Lakeside, Te Kauwhata, construction work is
ongoing and the newly completed Scott Road intersection upgrade will improve access to the
development.
At Northlake, Wānaka, 20 ALTA Villa Townhouses were completed, along with the final Stage 17
land lots. The first Stage 18 land lots were also completed, titled and settled. Works continue on
the balance of Stage 18, including drainage, roading, and landscaping, and a proposed private
plan change is underway to expand Stage 19.

At North Ridge in Cessnock, preparatory works continue for planning approvals for Stage 7
onwards.
The first stage at Northbrook Wanaka officially opened in May 2025, with the first residents
moving in to enjoy their Northbrook lifestyle. After years of careful planning, design and
construction, it is incredibly rewarding to see this vision come to life. Revenue from deferred
management fees and village service fees has commenced and will continue to grow as the village
matures and reaches stabilisation.
The Northbrook Wanaka Wellness Spa is a luxurious amenity with a 13.5 metre heated swimming
pool, sauna, boutique fitness studio, salon, and treatment rooms. Construction is progressing at
pace and on target for completion by the end of this year. We look forward to opening this
opulent facility.
Commercial includes Winton’s investment properties at Lakeside and Cracker Bay and the
operating businesses at Ayrburn and Cracker Bay. Revenue for this segment includes rent and
hospitality revenue. In FY25 commercial revenue was $24.7 million, up from $11.0 million in FY24.
Our new hospitality offering, Bravo at Cracker Bay will open early in the New Year.
The Ayrburn masterplan is coming together well. Ayrburn is situated on the best part of the most
expensive street in New Zealand and is a key long-term asset for Winton. We intend to continue
to maximise the value from the entire masterplan for shareholders.
We expect to welcome at least a million visitors to Ayrburn over the next year and it is on track to
become the most visited attraction in Queenstown.
As mentioned earlier, in FY25, we completed and opened several new venues, unlocking further
opportunities, particularly additional event opportunities across the precinct. These openings
included The Bakehouse, R.M. Produce and our most recent opening, Billy’s.
In March, Ayrburn hosted the inaugural Ayrburn Classic, a two-day celebration of motoring
featuring vintage, classic, and modern luxury cars. Thousands of people attended, and whether
they were car enthusiasts or not, everyone had a fantastic time. We look forward to the second
Ayrburn Classic in February 2026, which promises to be significantly bigger and better than the
first.
Looking ahead to FY26, the focus at Ayrburn is on visitor growth, gaining further efficiencies from
the multi-venue site, continuing to build the event pipeline, and delivering the high-end Ayrburn
experience to every visitor day or night.
During FY25, our most significant ESG progress related to meeting the additional requirements of
year 2 reporting of climate-related disclosures and GHG emissions inventory measurement.
You will see a number of other key contributions aligning with Winton’s Sustainability framework
on the current slide on your screens and while there is still much to do, we are proud of the
progress to date.
In addition to unemployment continuing to rise, net migration is at the lowest it has been in over
10 years and ready-made concrete volumes are below the 10-year average.
However, there are some positive signs in Winton’s operating environment, including a declining
Official Cash Rate, increased competition amongst suppliers, lower labour costs, and a rise in the
5
number of houses sold compared to the prior year, with the Queenstown-Lakes District
outperforming the rest of the country.
We move into 2026 cautious but confident. I am grateful for the dedication of the Winton team
and their ability to continue excelling through a tough property cycle. We would like to extend our
appreciation to our trade partners, contractors, and suppliers for their hard work, as well as to
our community of stakeholders and shareholders for their continued support.
