Strategy, diversification and growth opportunities

A clearly defined and well executed strategy has resulted in a resilient business with diversified revenue streams, well positioned to pursue growth initiatives

Execution of the long-term strategy

  • The diversification of our offering has been a cornerstone of our strategy for over 20 years

Continuation of our strategy through actively pursuing current growth opportunities

Supply chain: opportunities and challenges

  • Post COVID global supply chain disruption has a dual effect: > We continue to benefit from clients “onshoring” work previously produced offshore to guarantee supply

  • Paper prices have moved to the top end of their long term historical range driven by tightening supply, increases in pulp costs and well documented increases in global energy prices and shipping costs. Our expectation is that this price pressure will continue throughout 2022. These price movements primarily impact our web offset printing division

  • In response we have moved quickly to shore up supply and believe it is prudent to increase our paper inventory holdings as foreshadowed at the time of our full year results in August. IVE has long term strong relationships with all major international paper suppliers.

  • We are working closely with our clients to manage/mitigate “flow through” cost adjustments as required

  • We are confident that the majority of these recent paper cost increases will be passed through to clients

11

Annual General Meeting 23 November 2021

Major H2 initiatives

Active Display Group (ADG) and AFI Branding Solutions (AFI) acquisition and integration

  • Acquisition metrics

  • The acquisition of ADG and AFI completed on 1st November 2021 for consideration of $6.5m. $5.2m of the consideration paid on completion, with $1.3m of the total payable as deferred consideration based on the achievement of agreed revenue targets over a 24 month period

  • The acquisitions are expected to contribute annual revenues of circa $45m, additional EBITDA of $6.5m and NPAT of $4m (2.8 cents per share), post the full integration of both ADG and AFI into IVE’s existing operations

  • The integration of both businesses will commence in November 2021 and will be complete by June 30, 2022.

  • These acquisitions significantly expanded our third party logistics (3PL) and retail display businesses as well as further diversifying our offering into fabric printing (AFI)

  • This is our first acquisition since the Salmat transaction in January 2020. The $5.2m acquisition (excluding deferred consideration) represents the company’s initial investment in growth initiatives as previously communicated

==> picture [365 x 365] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [365 x 365] intentionally omitted <==

> Update

  • The announcement of these acquisitions has been very well received by clients and all staff that are now IVE employees

  • Finalization of integration planning is near complete, the business is an excellent cultural fit

  • Sales teams across the group are already working together to identify cross sell opportunities across the broader Group

  • Sales momentum across the businesses is strong, particularly in AFI, a leading supplier to the events sector, which is expected to rebound in 2022

Victorian site consolidation

It is important to note that IVE has duplicate operations for all parts of the business across both NSW and Victoria. Over the last two years and the current year we have invested significantly on our Victorian site consolidation program. This will result in IVE having only two operating precincts across greater Melbourne, driving further efficiencies and enhanced client service:

> Our Sunshine facilities across three co-located buildings total 52,000 sqm, which is the base for our web offset printing operations and letterbox distribution hub

Annual General Meeting 23 November 2021

  • The new Braeside precinct across four co-located buildings also totalling 52,000 sqm

  • Our sheetfed & digital printing and DDC operations currently across 2 buildings in Clayton since 2006 will relocate to Building 1 (18,000 sqm) in early 2022

  • Building 2 (13,000 sqm) will be used for the expansion of our logistics and fulfilment business, including the integration of ADG’s 3PL operations. Construction of this building is due to complete by the end of January 2022

  • Our retail display business was relocated from Sunshine to Building 3 (7000 sqm) in late 2020. The ADG and AFI retail display operations will be integrated into this business

Annual General Meeting 23 November 2021

Outlook

The solid underlying fundamentals of the business, combined with the strength of our balance sheet, place IVE in an ideal position to deliver growth as we emerge from this period of COVID disruption

  • The financial performance of the business on revenue, EBITDA and NPAT for the 4 months to 31 October 2021 is significantly up on the same period last year

  • As illustrated in the FY22 YTD results, heightened operating leverage across the business will underpin earnings growth as revenue returns

  • Strong revenue momentum continues and we remain optimistic this will continue over the remainder of the FY22 year driven by post lockdown economic recovery

  • We will closely manage paper supply chain pressures which we expect to continue through the balance of FY22

  • IVE is well positioned to pass through paper price increases to clients. Due to contractual timing differences, we expect a one off NPAT impact of circa $2m in FY22

  • The recent acquisitions of ADG and AFI at very low multiples represent the initial deployment of the $30-40m we have available to drive earnings accretive growth initiatives. In addition to organic growth initiatives, we would anticipate attractive acquisition opportunities will present over the coming 12-24 months

==> picture [365 x 365] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [365 x 365] intentionally omitted <==

  • Capital management

  • The Group will continue to maintain our strong balance sheet position (circa 1.5x pre AASB 16 EBITDA or below)

  • Dividend policy remains unchanged

  • The Company’s dividend policy seeks to pay strong dividends at sustainable levels, targeting a full year payout ratio of 65-75% of NPAT

  • Capital expenditure

  • Full year capital expenditure expected to be $10m excluding Lasoo phase 1 investment of $3.5m

  • Capital expenditure to continue at approximately 60% of annual depreciation
