Trading update: April to July 2021[1]

Activity levels have been solid in both NZ and Australia in the first quarter of FY22 (YTD)

  • While YTD Group revenue is significantly ahead of last year, any comparisons to Q1 FY21 have little relevance given the Alert-Level 4 shutdown period in New Zealand

  • Strong residential consents and approvals are supporting a robust and stable level of construction activity across both NZ and Australia

  • In NZ, Metroglass’ market share in the residential window manufacturing segment has now stabilised following the entry and subsequent growth of a new competitor over the course of FY21. Annualised revenue impacts will increase progressively over FY22

  • Metroglass remains the clear NZ market leader and is continuing to reposition its sales mix to where it sees opportunities. This includes some pleasing recent customer wins and further strength in the Retrofit double-glazing segment YTD

  • YTD sales in Australia have been ahead of last year, buoyed by strong market activity across each of our key regions

  • From the middle of July, AGG has been operating under escalating COVID-19 restrictions in New South Wales (NSW) in particular. Victoria and Tasmania currently fully operational, while NSW operating on a restricted basis under strict COVID-19 safety protocols

1 Based on unaudited management accounts.

Trading update: April to July 2021 (YTD)

Tight labour market adding to supply and capacity pressures

  • Compared to last year, higher NZ revenues in FY22 YTD are being offset to an extent by increased material costs, supply chain disruptions and the non-repeated 2020 Government wage subsidy

  • Raw material and international shipping costs have increased year on year and impacting margins. Price increases have recently been announced in both NZ and Australia which will partially offset these increased costs

  • To support the next stage of AGG’s growth, second shifts are being progressively introduced in both the New South Wales and Tasmania factories. This process creates some inefficiencies in the short term as new staff are recruited and trained which has increased labour costs YTD

  • Recruitment is challenging with a tight labour market and reduced migration placing pressures on supply, capacity and wage inflation

Outlook for FY22 – solid pipeline of work

  • Activity levels across both NZ and Australia will likely be stable and sustained at current levels for the rest of the 2021 calendar year

  • The continued strength in residential building consents provides a positive signal of a strong and stable pipeline of activity, though in NZ industry capacity constraints may limit growth in the near term

  • The residential segment in NZ will continue to be competitive and dynamic

  • In Australia, we are confident that AGG has embedded the improvements achieved in FY21. The level of residential approvals in Australia improved significantly through FY21 which will provide some support through FY22.

  • The group remains alert to COVID-19 risks and the significant disruptions in international shipping. Both are likely to continue for the foreseeable future

  • The group intends to invest more capital expenditure in FY22 v FY21 and will continue to take a prudent approach to managing operating costs

To consider and, if thought fit, pass the following ordinary resolution: That Peter Griffiths be elected as a Director of the Company.
