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.

Operating during COVID-19 has added complexity and challenge to our operating environment.
-
A range of health and safety measures have been maintained and implemented in response to COVID-19, targeted at mitigating the risk of transmission into and at Orora’s sites.
-
LTIFR increased slightly driven by low severity injuries. Recordable case frequency rates decreased slightly.
-
No Serious Injuries or Fatalities - 43% improvement in prevention of incidents.
-
Safety improvement initiatives continue across the business.
LTIFR* = (Number of lost time injuries / Total number of hours worked for employees and contractors) x 1,000,000
RCFR^ = (Number of recordable case injuries (lost time, restricted work case & medical treatment) / Total number of hours worked for employees and contractors) x 1,000,000
= FY20 RCFR and LTIFR restated from as known and reported figures in August 2020, due to re-classification of injuries after year end reporting closed for FY20.

Revenue and EBIT
-
Reported Group revenue increased 7.8% on a constant currency basis compared to FY20, down 0.8% on a reported basis.
-
Australasian revenue increased 6.1% from FY20. In North America, constant currency revenue was up 8.2%. An increase in average AUD:USD rates from 67.1c to 74.7c led to a 2.7% reduction in North American reported revenue.
-
Constant currency Group EBIT increased 17.3%. Australasian EBIT grew 2.5%, with North America constant currency EBIT up 43.0% (28.8% on a reporting currency basis).
Net Finance Cost
- Net finance costs decreased by $17.7M on FY20 to $32.8M, primarily due to lower average net debt levels post the Fibre sale.
EPS[1]
- Strong underlying EPS growth of 29.0% was driven by a 23.7% (34.1% constant currency) increase in underlying NPAT (ex-significant items) and the impact of the on-market share buyback.
Significant Items
-
Finalisation of the Fibre sale has resulted in a full year net gain of $6.1M after tax benefit (pre tax $1.5M).
-
Complexities associated with the decommissioning of the former Petrie of resulted in additional costs of $27.0M after tax (pre tax $38.6M) were recognised in FY21.

$34.2M
80.9% of depreciation
-
Sales up 6.1%, reflecting strong demand for Cans and Closures offset by the anticipated revenue impacts in Glass due to Chinese tariffs on Australian wine exports.
-
EBIT growth of 2.5% underscores the resilience of the Australasian earnings and was predominately driven by:
-
Strong growth in Cans volumes across all categories reflecting increased levels of at home consumption across FY21.
-
A reduction in Glass volumes in 2H21 as the impact of lower exports to China crystallised. Good progress made to redeploy capacity, into lower profit margin beverage categories.
Cashflow & Investment
-
RoAFE of 25.4% was below FY20, reflecting the anticipated impacts of recent capital upgrades (incl. G2 rebuild and warehouses at Gawler and Revesby slimline).
-
Cash flow was strong at $158.0M, up ~32% on FY20, driven by higher earnings and lower capex, offset by a ($41.7M) movement in working capital. The negative movement in total working capital largely reflects an increase in the timing of increased sales compared to FY20, which impacted trade receivables.
-
Cash conversion increased to 72.2% (58.1% in FY20) and is expected to remain >70% in FY22.
-
Investment continued with base capex of $18.9M and growth capex of $15.3M; down on the prior year given the G2 rebuild in FY20 (~$50M).
-
Total Capex investments of $34.2M totalled 80.9% of depreciation (excluding AASB16).

(2) Cash conversion measured as operating cash flow divided by cash EBITDA
Operating cash flow[(1)] increased by $76.2M or ~45% to $246.0M
-
Increase in cash EBITDA broadly in line with lease adjusted earnings.
-
Lease repayments and non-cash items broadly in line with FY20.
-
Cash conversion expected to remain >70% in FY22.
-
A further ~$32M is expected to be received in FY22 related to the deferred settlement of two properties.
Working Capital
-
At a Group level, a $8.0M improvement in net working capital to ($61.6M)
-
In Australia, the negative movement in total working capital largely reflects an increase in the timing of increased sales compared to FY20, which impacted trade receivables.
-
In North America, increase in trade receivables in line with increased sales, offset by improvements in OPS DSO and payables.
-
Underlying inventory levels remained relatively flat versus FY20.
Tax & Capex
-
Tax refund of ~$1.5M reflects the timing of FY21 tax payments made in North America and New Zealand, offset by a tax refund of Australian taxes.
-
Lower base capex of $31.9M compared to $83.2M in FY20 reflects the impact of G2 rebuild (~$50M) in the prior year and timing delays attributable to COVID-19.
Average working capital to sales
- Average total working capital to sales was 6.4% (8.3% in FY20), with the decrease largely attributable to increased sales and reduced average working capital balances.

FY21 on-market buyback concluded on 30 June 2021.
-
~89.3M shares were purchased at a cost of $256.2M (average of $2.87 per share).
-

Committed to sensible debt levels and investment grade credit metrics
-
Net Debt $453M as at 30 June 2021, up $161M since 30 June 2020.

-
Leverage increased from 0.9x to 1.5x, largely reflecting the impact of the on-market share buyback.
-
FY22 base capex is expected to be approximately 80% of depreciation (excl. AASB16).
