Diversified earnings support challenging period for grains businesses

  • FY14 earnings of $293M EBITDA[(1)] and $95M NPAT[(2)] .

  • FY14 statutory NPAT of $50M after significant items[(3)] .

  • Significant items : $44M[(3)] including:

    • $25M including Oils network optimisation and S&L network rationalisation

    • $19M relating to increased claims provision

  • Dividend: fully franked FY14 final dividend of $0.05 per share (totalling $0.20 per share for FY14).

  • Strategic initiatives: major strategic initiatives underway; ~$515M capex program supporting implementation; $111M invested over the last two years.

  • Storage & Logistics: below-average carry-in and below-normal grain production in eastern Australia resulting in lower exportable surplus, below-normal upcountry receivals and grain exports.

  • Marketing: below-normal grain production in eastern Australia resulting increased competition for grain and margin pressure.

  • Malt: consistent levels of high capacity utilisation; implementation of strategic initiatives improving earnings; favourable foreign exchange impact on translation and export competitiveness.

  • Oils: higher crushed oilseeds volumes; lower refined volumes resulting from reduced customer volumes; continued high capacity utilisation at liquid terminals; solid contributions from liquid feeds and commodity management businesses.

  • EBITDA is a non IFRS measure representing earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, before significant items. 2. Net profit after tax and before significant items.

  • Significant items of $44M (after tax) includes provisions relating to Oils’ network optimisation and Storage & Logistics’ network rationalisation and increase in claims provision. See appendix for further detail.

Supplemented short term debt with cash

Marketing and Oilseed funding strategy

  • Marketing’s grain trading activities and Oils’ oilseed and tallow positions are

predominantly funded with specific short term commodity inventory debt facilities:

  • Match debt with asset life

  • Fluctuates with seasonal grain purchases and underlying soft commodity prices

Treatment

  • Marketing’s performance measured as PBTDA → interest treated as part of cost of goods sold

  • Commodity inventory funding recognised as Operating Cash Flow  match funding purpose

  • Commodities inventory excludes Malt barley and Malt inventory held for processing activities. Variance between commodities inventory and short-term debt reconciles with “Short-term debt less Marketing and Oils inventories” on prior slide.

Grains outlook – lower grain production eastern Australia

Market fundamentals

GrainCorp FY15 outlook

  • Eastern Australian crop production estimate of 16.2mmt[(1)] is below normal (FY14: 17.2mmt; FY13: 19.4mmt)

  • Domestic demand for grain in eastern Australia of ~10mmt will be satisfied first

  • Exportable surplus significantly below normal at ~6.0mmt (FY14: ~7.9mmt; FY13: ~9.4mmt)

  • Potentially higher proportion of supply directly to domestic customers

  • Queensland and northern NSW sorghum crop dependent on summer rains

  • Carry-in of 1.9mmt significantly lower than recent years (FY14: 2.3mmt; FY13: 4.3mmt)

  • Lower grain production likely to result in belownormal upcountry grain receivals

  • Expecting lower grain export volumes resulting from below-normal exportable surplus

  • Increased complexity for grain outload task

  • Year to date receivals of 2.5mmt[(2)]

  • Year to date exports of 0.2mmt[(3)] and 4.3mmt booked on the shipping stem[(4) ]  expecting low execution rate in 2015

  • Continuing strong international grain demand

  • Lower eastern Australia production volumes and continued competition to originate grain

  • Strong domestic feed demand driven by drought conditions in Queensland and northern NSW

  • Challenging given lower production and significant competition for grain in eastern Australia

  • Targeting sales originating from Western Australia and South Australia with slots booked on shipping stems

  • Continue targeting additional grain origination opportunities outside Australia

  • Eastern Australia’s wheat, barley, canola and sorghum production estimates, using the Australian Crop Forecasters’ October 2014 report. 2. Wheat, barley, canola, sorghum received up country as at 10 November 2014.

  • Wheat, barley, canola and sorghum exports to 12 November 2014. Wheat, barley, canola and sorghum shipping stem bookings as at 12 November 2014. Reflects Year-To-Go bookings to 30 September 2015.
