NZX AND MEDIA RELEASE
20 May 2026
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.

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.

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.

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.

•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.
