  • Underlying EPS of 114.9 cents representing growth of 14.0% in FY21.

  • Final dividend of 46.0 NZ cents declared (imputed to 25% and franked to 100% for New Zealand and Australian tax resident shareholders, respectively).

  • Total dividends declared for FY21 of 88.5 NZ cents representing growth of 14.2%.

  • Full year dividend payout ratio of 72%, on an underlying basis[1] .

  • Reflecting the Group’s strong operating performance, cash flow and balance sheet, the DRP will not be available for the final dividend.

  • EBOS is pleased to advise shareholders that it has revised its dividend policy to declare dividends representing between 60% to 80% of NPAT (reflecting an improvement compared to the previous policy of declaring dividends not less than 60% of NPAT). The average payout ratio over the last five years has been approximately 72%.

26 Note 1: Dividend payout ratio calculated on an underlying basis based on a NZD:AUD exchange rate of 0.932.

FY22 OUTLOOK

  • EBOS is pleased with the strong earnings growth in FY21 and expects to be able to generate further growth in FY22.

  • The Group’s portfolio of businesses has proven to be very resilient throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, however lockdowns in New Zealand and Australia are evidence of the material uncertainties that exist and that may impact upon the Group’s future trading performance.

  • Capital expenditure for FY22 is expected to remain elevated as a result of the completion of the new pet care manufacturing facility, which will result in additional expenditure of approximately $30 million over and above business-as-usual capex.

  • EBOS has a strong balance sheet and is well positioned to pursue growth opportunities.

  • A performance update will be provided to shareholders at the Annual Meeting on 19 October 2021.
