Refresh Waters

Sales increased in the first half with every CGU achieving positive sales variances. Total sales growth for the first half year was 11% compared to the same period last year. This is despite the escalating cases of COVID-19 infection and lockdowns.

WA achieved very good sales growth of 19% with increased supply to mining companies. This benefited both our Perth and Kalgoorlie factories.

Coming out of a long lockdown, NSW managed to achieve a 3% growth for the half year.

2

VIC achieved sales growth of 15% despite the many lockdowns and restrictions. The growth came mainly from the supply of distilled water for commercial use.

Sales growth in the NT has slowed to 2% but note this is because NT achieved very good growth in the same period last year of 97%.

QLD also did very well with a 13% increase in revenue coming mainly from increased sales to Woolworths.

With global disruptions in our supply chain, we had several shipment delays of our imported raw materials. While this has resulted in a stock out situation for several products it has not adversely affected our operations.

Refresh Plastics

Refresh Plastics sales declined by 21% for the first half year. Some of the sales secured in the last period because of COVID-19 were not repeated in this period, e.g. bottles and containers for sanitisers. We had very good sales of our Ampi activity toys in the previous period. While sales continue to be better than pre-COVID-19, sales growth has slowed.

Eneco Australia

The Group is the Australian and New Zealand distributor for products of its associated Japanese companies.

We will continue to look for opportunities to grow the Group so as to deliver a better return for all shareholders. Detailed results of the various operating segments are found in Note 4(f) Operating Segment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ENECO REFRESH LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Eneco Refresh Limited (the “Company”) and its controlled entities (collectively, “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Eneco Refresh Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of Eneco Refresh Limited’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of Eneco Refresh Limited in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 has been given to the directors of the Company on 28 February 2022.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of Eneco Refresh Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the

half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards 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.
