FY19 result Key messages

  • Sales revenue growth of 7%[1] reflecting favourable price realisation and strong volume growth despite slower organic growth, particularly in Europe

  • • Underlying Profit up 2%[1] as strong revenue growth offset: - Group-wide input-cost inflationary pressures; and - Continued challenges in CHEP Americas related to changing customer/retailer behaviour, US network capacity constraints, the stringer-to-block pallets transition in Canada and higher cost-to-serve in Latin America

  • • US accelerated automation, lumber procurement, productivity and pricing initiatives on track to deliver progressive margin benefits through to the end of FY22

  • • Free Cash Flow after dividends was US$(89.6) million largely due to: - Investment of US$73 million in the US automation and lumber procurement initiatives, funded by FY18 asset actions; and

    • Impact of only 11 months of IFCO cash flows
  • • ROCI of 19.5% remains strong and above the cost of capital • Final dividend of A14.5₵, franked at 30%. Pro-rata cash return of A29₵[2] • IFCO sale completed and capital management initiatives underway 12 At constant currency. Capital return component of the pro-rata cash return is subject to shareholder approval at 2019 AGM.

Dividend policy and capital structure

Move to payout ratio based dividend policy

  • Following the sale of IFCO, Brambles’ Board reviewed its current progressive dividend policy

  • • Starting with FY20 interim dividend, Brambles will move to a payout ratio based dividend policy in order to:

  • Align shareholder payments with movements in earnings;

    • Support future growth opportunities; and
  • Maintain a strong balance sheet and investment-grade credit profile

  • Targeted payout ratio of 45-60% of Underlying Profit after finance costs and tax

  • • Dividend per share to be declared in US cents and converted and paid in Australian cents

==> picture [361 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

• Dividend Reinvestment Plan has been suspended, given the ongoing share buy-back
programme

Operating landscape and FY20 outlook

Operating landscape

  • Large addressable opportunities in both developed and emerging markets

  • Competition in key markets remains strong but rational

  • Slowdown in major economies, particularly in Europe including Brexit impact

  • Trade wars may lead to a broader global slowdown

  • Ongoing global input-cost inflationary pressures, although the rate of transport and lumber inflation is moderating

  • Retail landscape continues to evolve with the ongoing growth of e-commerce, omni-channel and increased automation in the supply chain

FY20 financial outlook

  • Sales revenue growth[1] to be at the lower end of mid-single digit growth objective taking into account the ongoing slowdown in global economies and the automotive industry; and

  • • Underlying Profit growth[1] , including the impact of AASB 16[2] , to be in line with, or slightly above, sales revenue growth

FY20 outlook

Including impact of AASB 16, Brambles expects:

  • Sales revenue growth to be at the lower end of its mid-single digit growth objective, at constant FX, taking into account the ongoing slowdown in global economies and automotive industry;

  • Underlying Profit growth in line with, or slightly above, sales revenue growth, at constant FX;

  • Underlying Effective Tax Rate of approximately 30%; and

  • Net interest expense of ~US$90-$100 million:

  • Interest savings reflecting the benefit of early redemption of US 144A bond and lower net debt are offset by the impact of AASB 16 and other funding impacts
