Discontinued Operations

The financial results and position of the Fibre business are presented as a discontinued operation within the consolidated Interim Financial Report and this presentation.

The following notes apply to the entire document.

Continuing Businesses:

1H21 – the net significant item expense after tax of $6.5M relates to additional costs associated with the decommissioning of the former Petrie Mill site. Following ongoing project review and reassessment of remediation requirements these additional estimated costs to complete have been recognised.

Discontinued Operations:

1H21 – the net significant item income after tax of $12.8M reflects an incremental gain on the divestment of the Australasian Fibre business following the finalisation of the post-close completion accounts process and tax position of the sale.

1H21 business & operating highlights

==> picture [103 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Solid 1H21 operating result driven by focused and improved execution of strategy and achievement of strategic milestones, with all businesses reporting an increase in underlying EBIT compared to the prior corresponding period despite ongoing impacts of COVID-19.

  • In Australasia, higher earnings were predominately driven by stronger volumes across Cans and Closures. Volume gains across all businesses were partially offset by an unfavourable mix in Cans and Glass and the impacts of higher energy and insurance costs.

  • The North American businesses improved both operating and financial performance, increasing sales force effectiveness by leveraging data insights and improving customer account profitability, and employing a stronger focus on cost control measures.

  • Australasian EBIT was up 4.2% to $86.1M .

  • EBIT margin was down 50 bps to 19.5%, primarily reflecting the impact of the unfavourable mix in Cans and Glass.

  • These actions resulted in an increase in earnings for both OPS and OV.

  • In North America, local currency EBIT was up 12.7% to US$39.0M and EBIT margins expanded 30 bps to 3.9%.

  • The impact of COVID-19 was evident in 1H21 with an unfavourable mix shift in Cans and Glass volumes towards the grocery channel and an increase in at home consumption leading to a negative impact on margins .

  • The impact of COVID-19 on North America was materially greater than that felt in Australasia. While OPS returned to revenue growth, many retailers remain closed, negatively impacting OV revenue in 1H21.

Orora safety performance

Update on our approach to improving safety

Lost time injury Recordable case frequency rate frequency rate (LTIFR)* (RCFR)^ 6.7 6.5 1.5 1.7 JUNE 2020 DEC 2020 JUNE 2020 DEC 2020

  • Slight increase to the lost time injury frequency rates shows that there is more work to be done on safety improvement initiatives. Ongoing improvement in recordable cases in the half, seeing a reduction in injuries from the same time last year.

  • The Global Integrated Safety Improvement Program (GISIP) continues to progress to plan, with priority on key critical risks.

  • In North America, system enhancements were implemented to streamline reporting for the purpose of monitoring COVID-19 incidents in Orora’s electronic reporting system.

  • Ongoing investment in mental health and wellbeing support for all team members.

LTIFR* = (Number of lost time injuries / Total number of hours worked for employees and contractors) x 1,000,000 RCFR^ = (Number of recordable safety incidents / Total number of hours worked for employees and contractors) x 1,000,000

Revenue

  • Reported Group revenue declined by 1.2% on the pcp, driven by an A$ 3.5% reduction in North American revenue, partially offset by a 7.0% increase in Australasian revenue.

  • North American constant currency revenue was up 2.0% compared to the pcp.

Net Finance Cost

  • Net finance costs declined by $13.0M on the pcp to $14.4M primarily reflecting the reduction of net bank debt following the receipt of the Fibre sale proceeds in 2H20.

EPS[1]

  • Strong underlying EPS growth of 20.0% was driven by an increase in underlying NPAT (ex-significant items) and the impact of the buyback.

Significant Items

  • Finalisation of the Fibre sale has resulted in a post-close completion accounts net gain of $11.3M ($12.8M after tax benefit).

  • Following ongoing project review and reassessment of remediation requirements, additional costs associated with the decommissioning of the former Petrie mill site of $9.3M ($6.5M after tax) have been recognised in respect of estimated costs to complete.

  • Sales were up 7.0%. After taking into account the pass through of lower aluminium prices, underlying sales increased 9.0% compared to the pcp.

  • EBIT growth was predominately driven by strong volume growth in Cans and Closures compared to the pcp.

  • In Cans, the mix of product was skewed toward the grocery channel supported by the continued strength of at home consumption.

  • In Glass, despite the impact of a smaller 2020 wine vintage, total tonnage was broadly in-line with the pcp, with wine volumes slightly behind the prior period, offset by growth in beer and other beverage categories.

  • Earnings margin adversely impacted by mix in Cans and Glass and previously announced first half cost headwinds related to increased energy (~$1.5M) and insurance (~$0.75M ).

  • RoAFE of 28.0% was below the pcp at 31.4%, with higher earnings offset by recent capital upgrades (G2 and warehouses at Gawler).

  • Cash flow was strong at $91.8M, up 13.3% on the pcp, driven by higher earnings and lower capex, offset by a negative movement in working capital.

  • Investment continued with base capex of $10.4M and growth capex of $5.0M; down on the pcp given the 2H weighting of the FY21 capex program and the G2 rebuild in the pcp (~$25M).

  • Capex investments totalled 74% of depreciation (excluding AASB16).

  • North America improved its operating and financial performance in 1H21, with local currency revenue and EBIT up 2.0% and 12.7% respectively.

  • Higher local currency earnings were achieved despite the continued impact of COVID-19, where the impact was materially greater than that felt in Australasia.

  • While OPS returned to revenue growth, many retailers remain closed, negatively impacting OV revenue.

  • Operating Cash flow increased by 14.7% to $53.0M, driven by improved working capital while cash conversion improved to 83.6% (73.9% in pcp). Cash flow target remains at >70%.

  • RoAFE increased by 370bps to 15.4% due to higher earnings.

OPS

  • Solid improvement in business performance and margins resulting from further traction of profit improvement programs – principally volume growth, margin recovery & cost efficiency / reduction.

  • Delivered constant currency revenue growth of approximately 2.8%.

  • EBIT was higher than the pcp in both Q1 and Q2; Q2 EBIT margins were ahead of Q1.

OV

  • Focus on cost reduction and stabilising revenue has continued.

  • OV revenue was below the pcp in constant currency in Q1 and Q2 due to challenging trading conditions with retail store closures and the deferral of promotional programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • OV was able to deliver cost reduction, and shift sales revenue focus to defensive markets.

  • EBIT was slightly positive and broadly in-line with the pcp.

  • Lease repayments and non-cash items broadly in line with pcp.

  • Further amounts will be received in due course relating to deferred settlement of two properties in relation to the sale of Fibre.

  • Cash conversion to be >70%.

  • One-off unwind of extended terms related to a supplier in Australia.

  • Reduction in Cans inventory and paper in OPS.

Capex

  • Lower base capex of $21.4M compared to $50.0m in pcp reflects 2H21 phasing of capex in Australasia and impact of G2 rebuild (~$25M) in prior period.

Average working capital to sales

  • Average total working capital to sales was 6.9% (8.5% in pcp), with the decrease largely attributable to increased sales and reduced inventory in Cans and OPS, partially offset by the net impact of increased receivables and decreased payables.

  • (1) Underlying operating cash flow excludes cash flow from discontinuing operations and significant items (2) Cash conversion measured as operating cash flow divided by cash EBITDA

  • (3) Average net working capital for the period/annualised sales

Committed to sensible debt levels and investment grade credit metrics

  • Net Debt ~$277M as at 31 December 2020, down ~$15M since 30 June 2020.

  • Leverage remained steady at 0.9x from 30 June 2020.

  • FY21 gross capex is expected to be approximately 90.0% of depreciation (excluding AASB16).

Orora Ltd

FY21 Perspectives & Outlook Brian Lowe – Managing Director and CEO

Orora Limited ABN 55 004 275 165

Perspectives for FY21

Australasia

  • Continue to identify and implement cost reduction initiatives, reinvest in asset upgrades and new capacity.

  • Cans volumes expected to remain strong.

  • 2020 wine vintage was weaker and exports are expected to remain subdued. Orora expects industry wine bottle volumes to decline in 2H21.

  • Work closely with customers to understand and plan for the impact of China bottled wine exports in 2H21 and beyond.

  • Energy prices are expected to remain steady beyond the reset experienced in calendar 2020. A further increase in insurance costs of ~$0.75M will impact the Australasian business in 2H21.

  • G2 negative EBIT impact in 2H20 of ~$8.0M will largely unwind in 2H21, expected benefit ~$6.0M, but likely to be more than offset by glass volume declines.

North America

  • The new Management teams are focussed on continuing to build momentum from the improved performance delivered in 1H21 through earnings improvement programs, sales growth, margin improvement and cost efficiency programs.

  • Pollock earnings weighted 70% to first half. A further increase in insurance costs of ~US$0.75M will impact North America in 2H21.

  • Market conditions in North America continue to remain challenging with the future impacts of COVID-19 uncertain - particularly in California and Texas - markets which represent ~60% of total North American revenue.

==> picture [103 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Cashflow & Capex

  • Group cash conversion of >70% in FY21.

  • Phasing of Australasian base capex program weighted to 2H21.

  • FY21 Capex to be ~90% of underlying depreciation (excluding depreciation of leases).

Capital

  • FY21 dividend expected to be towards the top end of target payout range.

  • Current on market buyback expected to be completed in FY21.

  • Explore adjacent growth opportunities in Aust / NZ.

  • Review the strategic direction of Orora Visual by the end of calendar 2021.

  • M&A in the current North American businesses is not an immediate priority.

27

Orora Ltd

FY21 Outlook

==> picture [103 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

  • Orora delivered a solid operating performance in the first half of FY21, with improved operating momentum and financial performance across all business units. Correspondingly, at a Group level Orora is forecasting higher earnings in FY21 compared to the prior year.

  • In Australasia, Orora expects second half FY21 EBIT to be negatively impacted by lower wine bottle exports to China and the smaller 2020 wine vintage. Full year EBIT is expected to be broadly in line with FY20.

  • In North America, in a continuation of the improved operating and financial performance, Orora expects EBIT to be higher in second half FY21 compared to second half FY20 and for the Full Year.

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