UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2026

Napier Port delivers continued earnings growth with first-half result


Napier Port (NZX.NPH), the freight gateway for the central and lower North Island, today announced

continued underlying earnings growth for the six months ended 31 March 2026. The result was

supported by a good growing season, increased container services activity, and continued progress

with yield and productivity improvement strategies.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue rose 8.8% to $84.9 million from $78.1 million in the same period last year and was

led by growth in container services revenue

• Result from operating activities

1

increased 12.5% to $37.3 million from $33.1 million in the same

period last year

• Underlying net profit after tax

2

increased 21.5% to $17.9 million from $14.8 million in the same

period a year ago

• Reported net profit after tax decreased 10.8% to $18.0 million from $20.2 million, as the prior

year period included the proceeds from the final settlement of Cyclone Gabrielle insurance

claims

• $29.6m of capital expenditure in the period and strategic projects progressing well

• Directors declare a fully imputed interim dividend of 5.25 cents per share, a 31% increase from

the base interim dividend in the prior year of 4.0 cents per share

• No change to forecast underlying result from operating activities for the year to 30 September

2026 of between $70 million and $74 million


Chief Executive, Todd Dawson said: “Our first-half result is pleasing and reflects the increased trade

activity we saw during 2025. It represents our improved operational performance and a season with

favourable growing conditions that has resulted in growth in refrigerated container cargo volumes –

particularly across squash, onions and apple exports.

This result highlights the value of a diverse and resilient cargo base, supported by the operational

flexibility to deliver capacity and port services needed by our customers. Partially offsetting increased

container activity, we have seen a further drop in cruise vessel calls this season while the NZ cruise

industry continues its efforts to rebuild cruise calls to NZ. Log exports from Napier Port are down 5.4%

in the period and current market conditions are challenging for log exporters due to increasing fuel and

supply chain costs.

“We are delivering on our strategic projects to enhance our operating capability. Our investments in our

existing cranes, dredge vessel that is under construction, new mooring technology, and our container

terminal transformation are progressing well. These will deliver improved capacity, service capabilities

and operating efficiencies as they complete over the next year.” Mr Dawson said.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenue for the half year rose 8.8% to $84.9 million from $78.1 million in the same period last year.

Container services revenue for the half year increased 16.7% to $49.9 million from $42.7 million

following a 3.5% increase in container volumes to 116,000 TEU

3

, compounded by a 12.8% increase in

average revenue per TEU.

Bulk cargo revenue for the half year increased 5.9% to $27 million from $25.5 million as total bulk cargo

volume decreased 1.5% to 1.68 million tonnes and average revenue per tonne increased by 7.5%.

Within total bulk cargo, export log volume decreased 5.4% to 1.28 million tonnes, which was partially

offset by increased fertiliser and other bulk cargo.

Cruise revenue decreased 21.8% to $6.4 million from $8.2 million. There were 54 cruise vessel calls in

the half year, compared to 77 in the prior year. Higher average vessel size and passengers per vessel

numbers increased revenue per cruise ship call.

The 2026 cruise season ended after the half-year period in April with a total of 55 cruise vessel calls.

Operating expenses increased 6% on the same period last year mainly due to growth in volume related

contract services costs, and wages and salaries.

Positive operating leverage on higher container volume increased the result from operating activities by

12.5% to $37.3 million from $33.1 million reported for the first half of the last financial year.

Underlying net profit after tax increased 21.5% to $17.9 million from $14.8 million in the same period

last year. Reported net profit after tax was $18 million, a 10.8% decrease on the prior year’s $20.2

million due to the inclusion of the final settlement of the Cyclone Gabrielle insurance claim in the prior

year.

OUTLOOK AND DIVIDEND

Mr Dawson said: “Demand for the region’s high value food and fibre exports remains strong, and we

expect to maintain solid volumes and earnings through the second half of the year. Environmental

growing conditions and new plantings coming on stream have supported earlier pipfruit exports, which

are tracking well, and growers are confident of a larger crop than 2025.

“To date we are not experiencing any notable direct disruption to our trade from the current events in

the Middle East. Notwithstanding underlying global demand for regional exports, we remain mindful of

ongoing uncertainty in global markets and increased costs for exporters and importers along with the

increased likelihood of higher levels of inflation in the foreseeable future.

Napier Port reaffirms its expectations for an underlying result from operating activities for the year to

the end of September 2026 of between $70 million and $74 million, assuming a continuation of current

operating conditions.

Chair Blair O’Keeffe said: “The Board is pleased to pay a fully imputed interim dividend of 5.25 cents

per share, which is increased from the 4.0 cents per share base interim dividend paid last year.

The record date for the interim dividend entitlement is 11 June and the payment date will be 24 June.

We expect to provide a further update to the market regarding our June quarter trading results during

August.

This positive half-year result reflects
a consolidation of the increased trade

activity we saw across Hawke’s Bay

during 2025. Container volumes

increased, supported by continued

strength in refrigerated exports,

particularly across squash, onions

and early season apples.

Containerised imports increased

during the period, largely driven

by earlier positioning of empty

containers to support export demand,

improving container availability for

exporters and supporting supply

chain flows ahead of the Hawke’s

Bay peak horticulture season.

Bulk cargo volumes were slightly

lower, reflecting softer log exports,

partially offset by increased fertiliser

and other bulk cargo movements.

Cruise vessel calls declined

compared with the prior period,

reflecting a broader reduction in

cruise activity across Australia and

New Zealand. However, vessels

visiting Napier were larger on

average, with higher passenger

numbers per vessel supporting

increased revenue per cruise ship

call.

This result again highlights the value

of a diverse and resilient cargo base,

supported by the operational agility to

deliver capacity and flexibility when

needed.

Strategic Overview and Progress
Napier Port continues to progress delivery of its refreshed strategy, introduced in

2025 following a comprehensive review to position Napier Port for the challenges

and opportunities ahead to 2035. The strategy is built around a clear set of

strategic pillars – growing our Port Plus+, delivering excellence to the core, building

alliances, and evolving as a learning and leading port – with integrated sustainability

and a strong focus on people and culture forming the foundations that underpin

long-term performance.

Progress during the first half of 2026 reflects continued momentum across these

priorities, with a focus on expanding our role across the supply chain, improving

operational performance, progressing key partnerships and investments, and

strengthening organisational capability to support future growth.

Extending Our Role

Across the Supply Chain

In the first half, Napier Port continued to

expand its role beyond the wharf, delivering

greater value to customers through more

integrated services across a broader section

of the supply chain.

As part of our focus on growing our Port

Plus+ offering, a new import customer,

Oji Fibre Solutions, was onboarded and is

utilising an integrated service model that

combines inland logistics and warehousing,

including on-port devanning and onward

delivery via our Viewpoint road and rail

services. Oji’s supply chain provides a

practical example of how Napier Port is

delivering a flexible, integrated end-to-end

supply chain solution for customers, while

also growing volume across our wharves.

A key focus during the half year has been

improving the flow of cargo through the

supply chain for our customers, particularly in

preparation for the peak export season. This

has included earlier and more coordinated

positioning of empty containers, improving

availability during peak demand and reducing

delays for exporters. Extended operating

hours, along with the ability to flex operations

between rail, road and on-port handling,

have supported customers in managing

variability in volumes and shipment timing.

This demonstrates how Napier Port is using

its broader service offering to support cargo

retention and growth.

our wharves.”

P10

A ‘whole-of-port’ approach to planning and execution is now
embedded across our operations, enabling teams to respond

dynamically by deploying resources to areas of operational demand.”

Napier Port has strengthened its core

operations during the first half of 2026,

with a focus on improving productivity,

reliability and the effective use of assets

across the port.

Aligned with our focus on delivering

excellence to the core, a ‘whole-of-port’

approach to planning and execution is

now embedded across our operations,

enabling teams to respond effectively

by deploying our resources to areas of

operational demand. This includes a

flexible approach to workforce deployment

and closer coordination across operational

functions, supporting better alignment of our

people, equipment and terminal space to

meet demand.

Ahead of, and into the early stages of

Hawke’s Bay's peak horticulture season,

several operational changes were

implemented, including bringing bulk cargo

operations into our centralised Planning

and Execution functions, alongside more

structured co-ordination between marine and

landside teams.

This has been supported by a programme of

improvement work across operations, where

approximately 35 improvement initiatives

were delivered to help remove inefficiencies

and streamline processes, including better

shift alignment, improved information flows to

frontline teams, increased use of digital tools

and more structured planning.

Asset reliability has been a key contributor

to operational performance in the first half of

this year. Targeted maintenance and upgrade

work across the mobile harbour crane fleet

has increased availability and consistency,

reducing disruption and supporting stable

vessel operations.

Improvements to our health and safety

systems and processes have remained

central to this work. Productivity

improvements have been pursued

alongside a continued focus on critical risk

management, with the business's attention

toward the risks most likely to cause serious

harm and pursuing actions that either remove

or mitigate these risks as a priority.

Collectively, these changes are driving

improved productivity and reliable delivery

outcomes across our port.

Operational Performance

DELIVERING EXCELLENCE TO THE CORE

HALF YEAR REPORT

P11

Alongside these partnerships, Napier Port is
now at the midpoint of delivering a significant

investment and transformation programme,

with approximately $120 million over the

2025 to 2027 financial years being deployed

across key maintenance, renewal and growth

projects.

This programme is focused on strengthening

core infrastructure, improving resilience and

enabling productivity, including the transition

to a new container terminal operating model

through the Napier Port Transformation

Partnerships continue to play a critical role

in supporting operational performance and

preparing the port for the future.

Supporting our focus on building alliances,

Napier Port has worked closely with KiwiRail

during the half year to support growth in rail-

based freight into Hawke’s Bay. Additional

locomotive and wagon capacity has been

secured on the Napier to Palmerston North

service, supporting further growth across both

containerised and bulk cargo, while improving

network capacity and supporting increased

utilisation of rail within the supply chain.

(NPT) project. Progress on NPT during the

half year has included the completion of

key civil and electrical infrastructure works,

the commencement of operational trials to

support the transition, and preparation for the

arrival of new equipment in the second half of

the year.

The construction of our new dredge vessel,

being delivered in partnership with Port

Otago, remains on track and is scheduled for

launch in June 2026, ahead of harbour and

sea trials later in the year.

Together, these partnerships and

investments in infrastructure, equipment

and operating models strengthen

operational resilience and position the

port for future productivity gains.

P12

Napier Port has progressed a number of
capability, systems and technology initiatives

during the half year to support improved

performance and prepare the organisation for

future operating requirements.

Innovation, technology and continuous learning

are core to how we will keep building capability

across the port, driving more consistent, data

led decision-making, improved safety, stronger

operational resilience, and more reliable and

efficient outcomes for our customers.

Napier Port has strengthened its core technology

and data capability investments in new systems

which has led to improvements in visibility

and consistency across our Planning and

Execution functions. Absorb, our new Learning

Management System, has been implemented,

with compliance training now centralised and

tracked across the organisation, providing

clearer oversight of our people’s skills and

competencies required for their roles and their

learning and development requirements.

Our new rostering and planning tool, RASP,

continues to be embedded across the business,

enabling more structured workforce planning,

improving alignment between labour deployment

and operational demand, and strengthening

controls around fatigue management and skills

compliance specific to roles.

Investment in network and operational

technology has also progressed during the

period, including the implementation of a

private 5G network to support Napier Port

Transformation. The network provides secure,

reliable connectivity, enabling real-time data and

improved operational visibility across a scalable

platform for future technology programmes.

Together, these initiatives are strengthening

organisational capability and enabling more

consistent and effective delivery across the port.

INTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY
P14

HALF YEAR REPORT

Improving Environmental

Performance

Napier Port has maintained consistent

operational emissions across Scope 1 and

Scope 2 during the first half of FY2026, with

emissions intensity (tonnes of CO2e per

Tonne) decreasing slightly as throughput

increased. Combined Scope 1 and Scope 2

emissions decreased by 0.5% compared with

the prior year, alongside a 0.1% increase in

total cargo tonnes throughput.

Scope 1 emissions increased 0.7%, driven

by higher marine and generator fuel usage,

partially offset by reductions across the

mobile plant fleet. Scope 2 emissions

decreased by 7.8%, reflecting lower electricity

consumption.

There were significant movements across

Scope 3 emissions during the period,

reflecting increased freight railed to the

port and the inclusion of additional Scope 3

categories introduced in the second half of

FY2025.

Alongside operational performance,

Napier Port has continued to strengthen its

contribution to the local environment and

community. This includes establishing a

partnership with Predator Free Napier Hill,

a community-led initiative focused on pest

eradication to support native biodiversity.

Napier Port is supporting the programme

through sponsorship funding and employee

volunteer activity.

Strengthening Our
People and Culture

Napier Port has continued to embed its

people and culture initiatives during the

half year, with a focus on strengthening

leadership, supporting employee

engagement and promoting wellbeing

across the organisation.

Leadership development has remained

a key priority, with more than 70 leaders

completing the specifically developed Port

Leadership Essentials programme. This is

supporting a more consistent approach to

leadership across the business, particularly

in leading teams through operational

change, peak demand and how to

effectively lead and coach.

A range of wellbeing initiatives have

supported engagement across the period,

including Fizz Free February – encouraging

healthier habits – and participation-

based activities such as Peak Trailblazer,

supporting employee involvement in local

fitness events.

Together, these initiatives are strengthening

leadership capability, supporting employee

engagement and contributing to a positive

and sustainable working environment

across the port.

Napier Port Holdings Limited
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended 31 March 2026

1. Reporting entity

The interim financial statements presented are

those of Napier Port Holdings Limited and its

subsidiaries (together 'the Group'). The Group's

subsidiaries are Port of Napier Limited, a

100% owned, NZ incorporated, port operating

company, and Napier Port IC Limited, a 100%

owned, Cook Islands incorporated, captive

insurance company.

Napier Port Holdings Limited is incorporated

under the Companies Act 1993 and domiciled

in New Zealand. Napier Port Holdings Limited's

shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand

Stock Exchange (NZX) and has bonds quoted

on the NZX Debt Market (NZDX).

2. Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared

in accordance with the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013.

Statement of compliance

The interim financial statements have been

prepared in accordance with New Zealand

equivalents to International Accounting

Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting (NZ

IAS 34), and International Accounting Standard

34, Interim Financial Reporting. The Group is a

for-profit entity for NZ GAAP purposes. These

interim financial statements do not include all

the information normally included in an annual

financial report. Accordingly, these should be

read in conjunction with the Group's annual

financial statements for the year ended 30

September 2025.

Basis of measurement

The interim financial statements have been

prepared on a historical cost basis, except

for sea defences, investment properties,

marketable securities, and derivative financial

instruments which are measured at fair value,

and assets held for sale, which are measured

at fair value less costs to sell.

Functional and presentation currency

The financial statements are presented in New

Zealand Dollars (NZD), which is the Group's

functional and presentation currency and

are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars

($'000), unless otherwise stated.

3. Summary of material

accounting policy information

The principal accounting policies adopted

are consistent with those followed in the

preparation of the Group's Consolidated

Financial Statements for the year ended 30

September 2025 except as noted below.

New and amended standards

The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 18,

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial

Statements, for the current reporting period.

There are no other new accounting standards

and interpretations that are issued but not yet

adopted that are expected to have a material

impact on the Group.

NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in

Financial Statements

NZ IFRS 18 sets out new requirements for the

presentation and disclosure of information in

general purpose financial statements. Certain

information reported in the prior comparative

period of the consolidated income statement

and consolidated statement of cash flows has

been restated to comply with the requirements

of NZ IFRS 18. The restated consolidated

income statement under NZ IFRS 18 for the

six months ended 31 March 2025 reconciles to

the previously reported consolidated income

statement prepared under the previously

applicable reporting standard NZ IAS 1,

Presentation of Financial Statements, as

follows on the next page:

4. Uncertainties, estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires management to

make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and

the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from

these estimates.

In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in

applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty, are

consistent with those applied to the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended

30 September 2025.

Port operations83,523 76,705

Operating income84,91378,079

Accounting policies:

Port operations

Port operations represents a series of services including marine, berthage and port infrastructure

services to the Group’s customers which are accounted for as a single performance obligation.

Revenue is recognised over-time using the percentage of completion method.

Revenue is measured based on the service price specified in the relevant tariffs or specific customer

contract. The contract price for the services performed reflects the value transferred to the customer.

Property operations

Property lease income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease term.

Operating segments

The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly

reported to the Chief Executive, who is the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM).

The Group operates in one reportable segment being Port Services. This consists of providing

and managing port services and cargo handling infrastructure through Napier Port. Within the

Port Services reportable segment the following operating segments have been identified: marine

services, general cargo services, container services, port pack services and depot services. These

have been aggregated on the basis of similarities in economic characteristics, customers, nature of

services and risks.

The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. During the period the Group

had one customer which comprised 12% of total revenue (2025: two customers 21%).

Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements

10. Management-defined performance measures
The Group uses certain management-defined performance measures in its public communications

to communicate management's view of aspects of the Group's operating performance. These

measures are not defined by IFRS accounting standards, which means they may not be directly

comparable to similar measures used by other entities.

The relevant measures and the reconciliation between each measure and the most directly

comparable total or subtotal specifically required by IFRS are as follows. The tax effect of each

reconciling item is determined using the statutory tax rate of 28%.

Result from operating activities

The Group uses 'Result from operating activities' on the face of the consolidated income statement

as it considers this metric provides the result from core operating activities for comparison from

period to period.

The result from operating activities is intended to be calculated as operating income less

operating expenses. The measure excludes income and expenses related to finance costs, taxes,

depreciation, amortisation, impairment and retirement of operating and other assets, and the

income and expenses arising from fair value changes, non-recurring and abnormal, and joint-

venture and other investment activity.

The result from operating activities measure includes certain non-cash income and expenses

related to core operating activities such as accrued income and expenses and share-based

payments.

10. Management-defined performance measures (continued)

Underlying net profit after tax

The Group uses 'Underlying net profit after tax' as a performance measure as it considers that this

metric provides the net profit after tax of the Group that is comparable from period to period.

Reported net profit after tax is adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-core and abnormal items,

and unrealised fair value movements. The adjustments that the Group considers appropriate are as

follows:

(i) removal of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties as this relates to non-core

activity;

(ii) removal of expenses and material damage and business interruption insurance income

attributable to the extraordinary Cyclone Gabrielle event that occurred during February 2023.

Insurance income for insured business interruption losses indemnified the Group for reduced

operating profits following Cyclone Gabrielle. The recognition of business interruption insurance

income does not necessarily match the accounting period of the reduced operating profits, as the

income recognition was determined according to the Group’s accounting policy for recognising

insurance recovery income and is dependent upon the timing of the lodgement of claims with

insurers and the timing of their review processes. The adjustment removes this timing effect and

the potential variability in income recognition; and

(iii) removal of non-recurring restructuring costs.

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Napier Port
Holding Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries

(together the “Group”). The Auditor-General has

appointed me, Stuart Mutch, using the staff and

resources of Ernst & Young, to carry out the review of

the interim financial statements of Group on his behalf.

Conclusion

We have reviewed the interim financial statements

of the Group on pages 17 to 26, which comprise the

consolidated statement of financial position as at 31

March 2026 and the consolidated income statement,

statement of comprehensive income, statement of

changes in equity and statement of cash flows for

the six months ended on that date, and the notes,

comprising material accounting policy information and

other explanatory information.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention

that causes us to believe that the interim financial

statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all

material respects, the financial position of the Group

as at 31 March 2026, and its financial performance

and cash flows for the six months ended on that

date, in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial

Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with the New

Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410

(Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE

2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further

described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the

Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of

our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance

with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which

incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standard

1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance

Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand), as applicable to audits and

reviews of public interest entities. We also have fulfilled

our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the

Professional and Ethical Standard 1.

Ernst & Young provides agreed upon procedures to the

Group which are compatible with those independence

requirements. We have no other relationship with, or

interest in, the Group.

Directors’ responsibilities for the interim

financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the

Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of

these interim financial statements in accordance with

New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting and

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial

Reporting and for such internal control as the Directors

determine is necessary to enable the preparation and

fair presentation of the interim financial statements that

are free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error.

The Directors are also responsible for the publication

of the interim financial statements, whether in printed

or electronic form.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of

the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the

interim financial statements based on our review. NZ

SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether

anything has come to our attention that causes us to

believe that the interim financial statements, taken

as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects,

in accordance with New Zealand Equivalent to

International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial

Reporting and International Accounting Standard 34:

Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of the interim financial statements in

accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a

limited assurance engagement. We perform

procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries,

primarily of persons responsible for financial and

accounting matters, and applying analytical and

other review procedures. The procedures performed

in a review are substantially less than those

performed in an audit conducted in accordance

with International Standards on Auditing (New

Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to

obtain assurance that we would become aware

of all significant matters that might be identified in

an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit

opinion on these interim financial statements.

Reconciliations include management-defined performance measures, which are not defined by IFRS accounting standards¹:

•Underlying net profit after tax comprises reported net profit after tax adjusted for certain non-recurring, non-core and abnormal

items, and unrealised fair value movements. Tax expense has been adjusted to reflect the tax implications of the adjustments.

•Underlying cash flows from operating activities comprises net cash flows from operating activities adjusted for certain non-

recurring, non-core and abnormal items and the tax implications of these adjustments on the basis that cash taxes would be

paid in the corresponding reporting period.

Adjustments include:

•Removal of unrealised fair value movements on investment properties as this relates to non-core activity.

•Removal of expenses and material damage and business interruption insurance income attributable to the extraordinary

Cyclone Gabrielle event that occurred during February 2023.

•Removal of non-recurring restructuring costs.

•Free Cash Flow

1

is a non-NZ GAAP measure adopted by Napier Port. It excludes capital expenditure on

development projects and the interest costs capitalised during construction

•The payment of dividends is not guaranteed and will be at the discretion of the Board and depend on a

number of factors. These factors include the general business environment, operating results (including

our ability to grow Free Cash Flow

1

)


and financial condition of Napier Port, future funding requirements,

any contractual, legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by Napier Port and any other

factors the Board may consider relevant. In declaring dividends, Napier Port must comply with the

solvency test under the Companies Act and the covenants of its debt facilities

•Dividend payments are expected to be split into an interim dividend paid in June, targeting 40%

of the total expected dividend for the financial year, and a final dividend paid in December. Napier Port

intends to impute dividends to the maximum extent possible

1- Non-NZ GAAP measure, being NPAT, adjusted for the post-tax impact of fair value revaluations of derivatives and investment properties, plus depreciation, amortisation and impairment, less the average replacement

capital expenditure of maintaining Napier Port's asset base. Average replacement capital expenditure is based on an assessment of the long term average cost of maintaining assets for Napier Port in real terms.
