Orora Limited – Annual General Meeting

10.30AM THURSDAY 21 OCTOBER 2021

Chair’s Address

Introduction

Good morning ladies and gentlemen. I'm Rob Sindel, Chair of Orora Limited, and will Chair the meeting today.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I'm pleased to welcome you to the eighth annual general meeting of the Company.

The meeting is being held by webcast in the interests of health and safety of shareholders, employees and other attendees. This year, shareholders may choose to listen to the AGM by phone and ask questions.

Before addressing the formal items of business, I will recap on the Company’s major activities during the 2021 financial year, including progress on our strategic objectives and our new sustainability goals.

Orora has a long history in manufacturing, distribution and visual design. The Company is an innovative market leader in its field, and this year has continued to adapt and respond well despite ongoing COVID-19 challenges.

The Orora businesses have continued to operate as essential services, ensuring customer requirements are met. I want to acknowledge the resilience and the high health and safety standards that Orora teams have demonstrated throughout this difficult period.

Our Managing Director & CEO, Brian Lowe, will shortly provide additional comments on our safety, business and operational performance and strategic roadmap for our Australasian Beverage and US distribution businesses.

Financial highlights

Turning briefly to the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The Group reported a strong improvement in FY21 earnings, with both our Australasian and North American businesses delivering improved financial results.

Group Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) increased by 11.6%, and by 17.3% on a constant currency basis. This was driven by earnings growth in Australasia of 2.5% and a significant 43% increase in North America.

Underlying Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was up 23.7% to $156.7 million and Earnings per Share increased 29% to 16.9 cents per share. A great result for shareholders.

These stronger earnings delivered a 44.9% increase in operating cashflow to $246 million.

The Board declared a final ordinary dividend of 7.5 cents per share, unfranked and sourced from the conduit foreign income account. This brought the total dividend in FY21 to 14 cents per share a 16.7% increase on last year.

During the year we also returned $256 million to shareholders through our on-market buyback program. We bought back 89.3 million shares, which equates to 9.3% of the Company’s shares.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Capital management

Today we are also announcing a new capital management initiative – a $150 million on-market buyback.

This follows on from the successful capital management activities undertaken in the last two years, namely:

  • In FY20, Orora returned $600 million via a $450 million special dividend and $150 million capital return; and

  • In FY21, Orora competed an on-market buyback that resulted in the purchase of approximately 89 million shares.

Following completion of the $1,720 million Australasian Fibre sale in FY20 and post completion of the $150 million onmarket buyback in FY22, this will take total capital returns to approximately $1 billion.

Strategic pillars and enablers

Orora is committed to being a leader in sustainable packaging. Our strategy remains unchanged, guiding our actions and achievements during the year.

This included delivering organic growth by optimising our existing business performance, expanding into new innovative products, and growing our footprint through strategic acquisitions.

Shortly, Brian will discuss our progress against the core strategies, and some important changes to our Shareholder Value Blueprint.

Sustainability

Building on our strong track record in sustainable packaging, Orora has made significant progress on the targets we set ourselves in the last few years.

During the year we also set out a bold plan to improve the company’s sustainability to meet the expectations of customers, investors and the communities in which we operate.

In summary, the pillars of the Orora sustainability framework have been redefined to Circular Economy, Climate Change and Community. These pillars and aligned aspirational goals represent “Our Promise to the Future”.

We announced our commitment to achieving net zero Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with an interim goal of a 40% reduction in emissions by 2035 using FY19 as our baseline.

As an energy-intensive manufacturer, this is not an easy challenge to meet, however Orora will continue to build on its strong history of delivery in this critical area. We don’t yet have all the technical answers, but we are working with our global partners to develop the pathways post 2035.

Your Board is committed to the investment required to meet this challenge.

The third pillar of our refreshed framework is our commitment to Community - both in terms the focus on our team members, as well as meeting changing community expectations.

Diversity forms a critical part of this pillar and we have a strong track record, as noted in our Annual Report. Brian will discuss Orora’s new global diversity, equity and inclusion goals which are being announced today.

And finally we released our Modern Slavery Statement which, together with our and Supplier Assurance Framework, demonstrate our commitment to human rights across the supply chain.

Governance

As with sustainability, good corporate governance is integral to the culture and business practices at Orora. It adds to performance, creates value and supports an appropriate risk and return framework.

Orora’s corporate governance practices are summarised in our Corporate Governance Statement, which you can find in our Annual Report or on our website.

Conclusion

As we build on our strong foundations, Orora will continue to protect and empower our people, be partners to our customers, and drive innovation and our new sustainability goals to differentiate us from our competitors.

Orora is in a strong financial position and the positive momentum and results in FY21 are expected to continue into this year.

Finally, I would like to thank the Orora leadership team and all our global team members for their dedication and hard work during the year.

I will now hand over to Brian for his comments.

Thank you.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer’s Address

Introduction

Thank you, Rob. And thank you all for your continued support of Orora.

Continued focus on safety

We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved this last financial year.

We continue to maintain a clear commitment to the health, safety and wellbeing of our people.

In FY21, our safety performance improved across a number of areas including recordable cases, but our lost time injury frequency rate unfortunately increased slightly. Although this increase was primarily from low severity injuries, this highlights the need for ongoing safety improvement initiatives.

On a positive note, there were no serious injuries or fatalities in FY21 and an improvement in the number of potentials in this area.

The improved performance was driven by several initiatives, including new behavioural based safety programs, and key initiatives from our Safety Improvement Program, which will continue into FY22.

FY21 business and operating highlights

Our FY21 result demonstrates continued momentum and clearly shows that our strategy and strategic priorities are working.

In Australasia:

  • Higher earnings were driven by volume growth in Cans and Closures, with overall Beverage margins reflecting increased levels of at home consumption of 375ml Cans across FY21.

  • Growth in beer and other non-alcoholic beverages, partially offset reduced glass wine bottles resulting from the China tariffs on wine exports.

  • EBIT grew 2.5% reflecting the continued strength and resilience of the Australasian business.

  • In North America:

  • The businesses have continued the positive momentum that started in late 2020, delivering improvements in operating and financial performance.

  • Although the impact of COVID-19 on North America was materially greater than that felt in Australasia, both OPS and OV returned to revenue growth in FY21.

  • Through increased sales force effectiveness, improved focus on customer account profitability and maintaining cost control disciplines, we delivered an increase in EBIT for both OPS and OV.

Shareholder Value Blueprint

As the Chair noted earlier, our strategic pillars have guided our actions and the delivery of our achievements in FY21.

I would like to draw your attention to some important changes.

  • Firstly, in relation to capital investments, in addition to investing to enhance our capacity and product capabilities across our portfolio, we have added sustainability as an important driver for investment.

  • For acquisitions, in addition to our focus to expand our Beverage footprint and aluminium and glass product capability in Australasia, we have added an element that looks to expand product and service capabilities in North America. With the business platforms in North America now stabilised and scalable, expansion including through M&A, will come into greater focus throughout FY22 and beyond.

  • And finally, for capital management, we have added ‘balanced’ to reflect our balanced and disciplined approach to capital allocation.

Capital Management – additional $150 million on-market buyback

As the Chair noted earlier, today we announced a new capital management initiative – a $150 million on-market buyback.

  • As set out in our Shareholder Value Blueprint – we apply a returns-focussed, risk-weighted approach to investment and capital management decisions.

  • This means taking a balanced approach to allocating capital towards growth investment opportunities, both organically and in-organically.

  • At our FY21 Results we flagged approximately $100 million of growth capital expenditure in FY22, relating to the installation of a new can line at an existing site at a cost of approximately $80 million and construction of an advanced glass beneficiation plant at Gawler at an estimated cost of approximately $25 million.

  • At this time, with low leverage of 1.5x and continued reliable cashflow generation, and in the absence of immediate in-organic opportunities in the ANZ Region, a return of excess capital in the form of an on-market buyback is considered appropriate.

  • Importantly, given our strong balance sheet and low leverage, and the strong cash generation capability of our businesses, the $150 million buyback still allows for modest M&A.

Progressing our strategy and FY22 strategic priorities

Throughout FY21, we have made good progress against the core strategies for each business and have positive momentum carrying into FY22.

In FY21, we increased Can capacity with the completion of the slim line expansion at Revesby, NSW.

In North America, new leadership in both OPS and OV has delivered strong results in FY21. Both businesses are well positioned for future growth.

Looking more closely at our FY22 priorities.

In Australasia:

  • Reflecting a strong outlook for Can volume growth and with binding heads of agreement on long term customer extensions, we will invest approximately $110 million in a new can line and increased can ends capacity on the Eastern seaboard, providing an incremental 10% uplift in cans capacity and which is expected to be online in the second half of FY23.

  • In Glass, we have made good progress to consolidate alternate growth pathways. Over FY22, the sales opportunities we have secured will replace approximately 90% of the China export volumes.

For OPS:

  • We have an ongoing focus on business model enhancements, including a refreshed e-commerce platform.

  • We remain on track to achieve EBIT margins greater than 5% in the next 2 -3 years and will start to explore inorganic opportunities to expand our product and service offering from the second half of FY22.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

For OV:

  • We are capitalising on the solid foundations established in FY21 and are on track to complete the end-to-end review of the strategic direction by the end of 2021.

I will now set out our Beverage and OPS Strategic Objectives Roadmaps.

Beverage Strategic Objectives Roadmap

The Australasian Beverage business has a range of strategic initiatives across Orora’s strategic pillars.

Firstly, under Optimise & Grow:

  • The focus on business optimisation and continuous improvement is part of the DNA of our Beverage business.

  • And, our robust systems and the disciplined execution in our day-to-day operations forms a strong platform as we look to further scale the business.

Secondly, as it relates to Enhance & Expand:

  • We constantly assess opportunities to further leverage the strength and resilience of our Beverage business, such as the additional capacity expansion for Cans.

  • We are continuing to invest in our digital journey with a new e-commerce and web presence.

  • From an inorganic perspective, we continue to assess opportunities to expand into logical adjacencies in the Australasian market that will align with our strategy and capabilities.

Lastly, we will assess opportunities to enter new segments over the longer term that can provide a natural and logical extension of our current capabilities.

OPS Strategic Objectives Roadmap

In North America, the OPS business has been on a careful and calculated journey to re-establish stability in operations and ensure that there is a strong, scalable platform from which to sustainably grow. The results announced for FY21 speak to the positive progress we have made.

Firstly, from an Optimise & Grow perspective:

  • Strong progress has been made against all of the key strategic and operating initiatives.

  • In particular, OPS has made significant progress in utilising business intelligence tools to drive greater salesforce effectiveness and proactively manage poorer performing accounts.

  • These disciplines will position us strongly for further growth as we scale the business.

Secondly, we separated Orora’s strategic pillar of Enhance & Expand into two distinct phases in the OPS strategic roadmap.

The immediate focus for OPS will be on continuing to enhance the business model with a number of critical initiatives such as:

  • The vital digital transformation journey, with new e-commerce capability being launched later this calendar year.

  • The introduction of lean operating principles to drive greater efficiencies.

  • Building out our product and service capabilities into our core markets

Lastly, as we move forward and embed further enhancements in the OPS business model, these strategies may be accelerated via M&A where it makes strategic and financial sense.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Our new chapter in sustainability

As the Chair discussed earlier, in August we announced a new Chapter in Orora’s sustainability journey, building on the great foundations we already have in place.

Climate change

We will address the issue of climate change by our commitment to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 for scope 1 and 2 emissions, and an interim goal of 40% reduction in these emissions by 2035 from FY19 levels.

We have a well-defined plan to achieve our 2035 goal. The pathway between 2035 and 2050 will rely on advances in technology.

Circular economy

We are a proven leader in circular economy initiatives that maximise the recycled content of our manufactured products to ensure these products can be recycled multiple times to minimise waste.

We have a target in our glass business of achieving 60% recycled content by 2025. Our recently announced $25M advanced cullet beneficiation plant at our South Australian glass facility, will not only:

  • Increase the amount of recycled content in the glass bottles we manufacture; but also

  • Reduce Co2 emissions, energy use and divert waste from landfill.

More goals will be developed in FY22 to advance our Circular Economy efforts across the businesses.

Communities

For our Communities, we continue our committed focus on our team members and the broader communities in which we operate.

Our commitment to a diverse, inclusive and equitable work environment comes to life in many ways and helps drive better decision-making, innovation and growth.

Diversity has long been a focus at Orora, and we’ve made great strides in recent years, and we continue to focus on diversity through initiatives including our Women In Leadership at Orora (WILO) program, Orora Proud, celebrating and raising awareness of the LGBTI+ community, and educating our people on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).

Because this is an enduring focus, we are pleased to share new global DEI goals, which build on our achievements. We have a clear roadmap of initiatives that will enable us to reach these goals.

Importantly, while these goals provide the global direction for Orora, our business groups have tailored DEI strategies and goals, taking into account local cultural factors and laws. This approach brings more meaning and impact to our diverse geographies, as well as the different types of business across Orora.

Along with the Board and executive leadership team, I am extremely proud of the dedication from our people in developing “Our Promise to the Future”.

Outlook

Finally, and before I hand back to the Chair, I’d like to reiterate the outlook for FY22 provided as part of our recent full year results announcement on 19 August still stands.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide some additional detail about the 1H and 2H outlook for our Australasian Beverage Business in FY22. Whilst 1H22 EBIT is expected to decline as the impacts of China wine tariffs are cycled, the Beverage business will return to EBIT growth from 2H22 and is expected to be broadly in line with FY21 for the full year.

Thank you all and back to you Rob.

Throughout this presentation, Orora has included certain non-IFRS financial information. This information is presented to assist in making appropriate comparisons with prior periods and to assess the operating performance of the business. Orora uses these measures to assess the performance of the business and believes that the information is useful to investors.

The following notes apply to the entire document.

Continuing Businesses:

FY21 – the net significant item expense after tax of $27.0M relates to additional costs associated with the decommissioning of the former Petrie Mill site. These additional estimated costs to complete were recognised in FY21, following ongoing project review and reassessment of remediation requirements.

Discontinued Operations:

FY21 – the net significant item income after tax of $6.1M reflects the full year incremental gain on the divestment of the Australasian Fibre business. It follows the finalisation of the post-close completion accounts process and tax position of the sale during 1H21, together with the impact of additional provisions recognised in 2H21 with respect to potential employee settlement costs.

FY22 Outlook

  • In Australasia, whilst 1H22 EBIT is expected to decline as the impacts of China wine tariffs are cycled, the Beverage business will return to EBIT growth from 2H22 and is expected to be broadly in line with FY21 for the full year.

  • In North America, significant progress made on the implementation of core strategic initiatives and the OPS, and OV profit improvement programs are expected to continue. We are confident that recent performance improvements are sustainable, and we anticipate further EBIT growth in FY22.

==> picture [130 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [151 x 151] intentionally omitted <==

  • Positive momentum is expected to continue into FY22 and correspondingly, we are forecasting further growth in underlying Group earnings.

  • This outlook remains subject to global and domestic economic conditions, currency fluctuations and the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
