Reporting on an improved performance
PGG Wrightson Limited (‘PGW’, ‘the Group’, or ‘the Company’) delivered Operating Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortisation (Operating EBITDA) for the year ended 30 June 2025 of $56.1 million, up $12.0 million or 27% on the prior year’s result. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $10.7 million, up $7.6 million or 248%.

PGW’s businesses reported improved results on the prior year, with FY24 appearing to have marked the bottom of the agri cycle.
Our Retail & Water group revenue was up $39.4 million on the prior year, while performance at an Operating EBITDA level saw an increase of $1.1 million year-on-year. Although the operating environment over the year was more challenging in the retail space, we are encouraged with the revenue growth in this context and pleased to see the business continue to consolidate and grow market share.
Our Agency group delivered a strong turnaround led by our Livestock and Real Estate businesses. Constrained supply for livestock and increased demand drove elevated red meat and dairy commodity prices, supporting farmgate returns. This had an influence on the profitability of farming operations and is reflected in a positive sentiment shift. Rural real estate activity increased significantly as a consequence of improved confidence in the dairy and red meat sectors, supported by the easing of interest rates. This has seen a lift in real estate enquiries in dairy, beef, sheep, and select horticultural properties, with new listings coming to the market.

Business Improvement Programme | Hōtaka Whakapiki Pakihi
PGW successfully implemented its Business Improvement Programme with ‘go-live’ of its Microsoft D365 enterprise reporting platform in April 2025. This milestone marks a significant step forward in modernising our systems and strengthening our operational capabilities. With the implementation now complete, our focus has shifted to unlocking the full value of this investment. Key outcomes include improvements that will drive operational efficiencies, enhance data utilisation, and generate deeper insights to support decision-making.
Market conditions | Ngā Āhuatanga o te Mākete
The Ministry for Primary Industries reported that New Zealand’s primary sector delivered a record-breaking performance in the year to June 2025, with export revenue reaching $59.9 billion, up 12% from the previous year. Dairy led the growth, driven by strong global demand and premium pricing. Meat exports rose, with beef and lamb prices supported by tight global supply and robust demand. Strong wool prices improved on the back of reduced volumes produced, and export volumes declined in line with the reducing sheep flock. Horticulture, and kiwifruit in particular, experienced strong earnings with Zespri delivering its largest export crop, selling 220.9 million trays and topping $5 billion in sales. The arable sector faced headwinds, including increased input costs and margin pressure.
The July Federated Farmers’ Confidence Survey has confirmed the strong lift in farmer sentiment, at the highest levels in eight years. This is driven by easing interest rates, more stability in input costs, improved commodity prices, and government policies viewed as more supportive by the agricultural sector. Farm profitability has rebounded and strengthened investment spending and production expectations.
Our people | Ā Mātau Tāngata
At 30 June 2025, PGW had 1,554 permanent and temporary employees. PGW also engaged 164 casual employees, 161 commission agents, and 3 specialist consultants, bringing the total headcount to 1,882.
Highlights of our Learning and Development offering included a relaunch of our groupwide PGW Induction Workshop, with a renewed emphasis on leveraging PGW’s collective strength. We have increased our focus on attracting young people into the industry by working with high schools, offering both PGW learning modules and participating in nationally recognised learning programmes.
Our ambitious People and Safety strategy is designed to deliver meaningful value to both the business and to our team members. We are also seeing the benefits of our strong employment brand, reflected in exceptionally high volumes of applications for roles.
Health, safety, and wellbeing | Te Hauora, te haumarutanga, me te toiora
We continue our focus and journey in enhancing Health, Safety and Wellbeing across PGW. We made strong progress in our Critical Risk programme with a range of enhanced systems and frameworks implemented during the year.
While we are proud of the various Health, Safety and Wellbeing initiatives achieved, the real measure of success is seeing a reduction in lost time injuries and serious harm events. Although there are multiple indicators of our maturing safety culture, this is an area of continuing focus as we strive to improve upon safety outcomes and results.
Sustainability | Toitūtanga
PGW is an enabler of sustainable transformation for our customers in New Zealand's agricultural and horticultural industries. Our customers are increasingly requiring PGW to demonstrate sustainability performance as part of their assurance requirements. PGW is regularly requested to evidence sustainability credentials through customer procurement processes. Alongside the Annual Report, PGW released its Sustainability Report and Climate Statement 2025. This serves as our second year of reporting under the New Zealand Climate Standards and demonstrates our maturing treatment of climate-related risks and opportunities. PGW is pleased to report a 22% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for FY25 against the FY21 baseline. This was primarily driven by a reduction in vehicle fuel consumption, with less kilometres travelled and more hybrid vehicles entering our fleet.
The second reporting period also sees the launch of PGW’s comprehensive Climate Transition Plan. The Plan articulates our systematic approach to climate risk management within changing macroeconomic conditions, land use transformation impacts, and alignment with New Zealand's decarbonisation trajectory. The Climate Transition Plan establishes measurable objectives and priorities that will govern our organisational transformation and drive sustainable practices throughout our value chain. The Plan positions PGW to deliver stakeholder value, while contributing to New Zealand's climate objectives and resilience for rural New Zealand.
Cashflow and debt | Te Kapewhiti me te Nama
PGW recorded cash flows from operating activities of $12.4 million for FY25 and included significant growth (cash outflow) in GO-STOCK receivables, which increased by $28.9 million over the 12 months to 30 June 2025, to be $81.4 million. This growth compares to a cash inflow for GO-STOCK receivables in FY24 of $21.5 million.
Working capital balances increased by $1.4 million from the prior comparative period.
PGW amended and extended its syndicated bank facilities during the year.
Distributions | Ngā Utu Whaipānga
The Board has declared a fully imputed final dividend of 4 cents per share. The dividend will be paid on 3 October 2025 to shareholders on PGW’s share register as at 5pm on 11 September 2025. This will bring the total fully imputed dividends for the year to 6.5 cents per share.
Max Rewards loyalty programme | Whiwhinga Mōrahi pono hōtaka
The Max Rewards loyalty programme is delivering positive outcomes, contributing meaningfully to customer engagement and retention. Insights derived from the loyalty platform have proven to be a valuable source of data, supporting more informed decision-making across loyalty, customer relationship management, and the PGW Group more broadly.
With increasing customer awareness, our team continues to focus on collaboration with internal stakeholders to create new initiatives to increase participation in the programme. As awareness and membership in Max Rewards continues to grow, more customers will be able to access the benefits and further strengthen PGW customer loyalty.

PGW celebrates 20 years | Ka whakanuia te 20 tau e PGW
October 2025 marks 20 years since the iconic merger of Pyne Gould Guinness Limited and Wrightson Limited. These companies can trace their formation back to 1851 and 1868 respectively and have a proud legacy of more than 170 years of service to New Zealand’s rural communities.
Our company was created from the union of these two agricultural leaders. Over time, individuals and businesses built lasting relationships with farmers and growers, sharing in both their successes and challenges. The values, character, and integrity of our founders helped shape the rural services landscape and laid the foundations of the company PGW is today. To pay tribute to our predecessors and their companies, we reflect on the many stories that built PGW. To celebrate our 20 years and pay tribute to our predecessors, we have created our heritage stories. Please visit our website Our History | PGG Wrightson.
Outlook | Matapae
The agricultural sector has experienced a strong rebound, supported by encouraging economic indicators. Buoyant export commodity prices and good demand, amid constrained supply, has boosted confidence in production decisions. Easing inflation and interest rates, together with greater stability in input prices, have created a more positive operating environment. These factors have contributed to renewed optimism and a noticeable lift in farmer confidence, which is positive for the sector and our rural servicing operations.
Despite this momentum, forward-looking sentiment is not uniform across the sector with a more challenging operating environment for arable farming, viticulture, and strong wool. Ongoing geopolitical tensions and uncertainty around international trade terms, with increased tariffs and trade protectionism policies, are also a source of uncertainty. While dairy and red meat markets remain resilient, caution continues to influence parts of the sector, reflecting a mixed but stabilised outlook for New Zealand’s primary sector.
Governance changes | Ngā Panonitanga Mana Whakahaere
On 1 July 2025, Wilson Liu joined the PGW Board as an Independent Director. Meng Foon announced that he will not seek re-election at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in October and will retire from the PGW Board, having served as a Director since 1 July 2022.
Acknowledgements | Ngā whakamihi
Our achievements this year are a direct result of the dedication, resilience, and talent of our exceptional team. Across the country, our people have demonstrated commitment to our customers, communities, and each other.
We extend our sincere thanks to our customers for their loyalty and trust. Their continued support motivates us to deliver outstanding service and solutions, whether in challenging market conditions or in times of growth.
Finally, we acknowledge our shareholders for their ongoing investment and confidence in PGW. We remain focused on delivering sustainable growth and long-term value, and we appreciate their continued support.

Stephen Guerin Chief Executive Officer
Garry Moore Chair
Strong commodity prices are expected to remain throughout FY26 across dairy, red meat, and horticulture crops, particularly kiwifruit and apples. Overall, the outlook is positive for the sector while the trading environment remains less robust in viticulture, the arable sector, and strong wool. The viticulture sector experienced muted activity, driven by an excess supply of wine on the global market. Sheep headcount continued to decline due to land use change and increased hectarage in forestry and carbon sequestration. Confidence in the rural real estate market is expected to persist through FY26, with quality listings continuing to attract interest and farm sales.
Indications are that customers are leveraging the elevated farmgate returns to reduce debt, while those who deferred investment decisions during the previous challenging period are now re-engaging and investing to support their production decisions.
While it is a mixed picture across the New Zealand economy with some industries facing difficult trading conditions, the agricultural sector is a bright spot and is leading the recovery again with strong export prices and payouts that are boosting rural areas. The sector’s strong fundamentals, quality production, and market positioning provide a solid foundation for continued growth and investment.
Supported by our strengths in technical expertise, innovation, and enduring customer relationships, PGW is well positioned to support our customers grow their businesses and capitalise on the forecast growth in export revenue.

The Retail & Water business incorporates Rural Supplies, Fruitfed Supplies, Water, and Agritrade. Retail & Water recorded Operating EBITDA of $42.2 million, an improvement of $1.1 million from the prior year’s result. Revenue of $773.0 million, was up $39.4 million.
Our Retail & Water business experienced good revenue growth on the prior year, retaining and consolidating market share. Retail & Water’s five-year plan was refreshed with a focus on a range of growth initiatives.
A key example of such initiatives was PGW’s acquisition of Nexan Group which completed in July 2025. Nexan Group develops, manufactures, and markets a range of animal health brands, including Vetmed (see page 40). Another recently launched growth orientated initiative is our ‘BlueAG’ agricultural chemical private label strategy. Our BlueAG brand forms another important plank in our strategy to expand our product offerings (see page 41).
The Nexan Group acquisition and BlueAG product range launch are good examples of strategic growth initiatives being implemented, which align with PGW Group’s strategy of bringing expertise and innovation to market that benefits New Zealand farmers and growers. We have identified the animal health category as an important growth opportunity. Customers have also encouraged PGW to bring reliable generic animal health options to market, and PGW is responding to these demands.
This was the second year of the PGW intern trials programme, led by our dedicated Technical Team. There have been promising results, and we continue to invest in this work to provide knowledge to our team and our customers (see pages 52-54).
Our Retail & Water marketing efforts focused on showcasing our technical and industry knowledge as our key point of difference. Highlights included the launch of our Blue Shed Diary podcast, a new partnership with The Rural Roundup, and engaging digital coverage via the Retail & Water Facebook and Instagram pages. We have seen growth across our channels, driven by engaging content and the use of AI tools to enhance performance. Events like South Island Field Days, where we took out Best Overall Site, also demonstrates the positive community connection work going on in the business.

Rural Supplies | Ngā Whakaratonga Taiwhenua
We continually review our store network and seek opportunities for improvement to provide operational efficiencies and better customer experience. During the year, the Waimate Rural Supplies store and office area underwent a full refurbishment. In July 2025, our Invercargill Rural Supplies store, Regional office, and Real Estate office relocated to a new development adjacent to the existing PGW Wool store. The following month, the Ohakune Fruitfed Supplies store moved to a new purpose-built site.
Our Rural Supplies business performed solidly, as sentiment in the farming sector improved over the course of the year, with the strengthening in export commodity prices. It has been pleasing to see dairy, sheep, and beef farmers all benefitting from increased returns, which helped many farming operations return to profitability. While sales revenue improved on the prior year, farmers took a generally conservative approach with many using good returns to reduce debt.
Fertiliser and stockfood were in demand, as farmers focused on increasing production to maximise the higher commodity returns. The animal health category continues to grow. There was additional spend on capital items, such as fencing, in the latter half of the year. However, the arable sector was more challenging with reduced demand for seed crops and prices coming under pressure.
We anticipate farming returns will remain positive for the near to medium term and present opportunities for growth.
Fruitfed Supplies | Ngā Whakaratonga ā-Huawhenua
Fruitfed Supplies faced a challenging trading environment in FY25, which saw total revenue slightly back on the prior year. Despite the headwinds Fruitfed Supplies maintained a strong market position, reflecting the value our customers place on our technical knowledge, reliable service, and comprehensive product range.
Encouragingly, we have seen renewed optimism in both the kiwifruit and apple sectors. Orchard investment, new plantings, and a focus on varietal development signal ongoing confidence in the future of these crops. Buoyant export demand, improved post-harvest performance, and stable pricing has contributed to a more positive outlook for these growers. Fruitfed Supplies is well-positioned to support growth in these sectors through tailored programmes, technical expertise, and a commitment to helping growers maximise returns.
The broader horticultural environment also presented challenges this year, particularly in the viticulture and vegetable sectors. Viticulture supplies were subdued, due to a global oversupply of wine. Growers were impacted by a combination of global market pressures, rising input costs, and variable growing conditions across some regions. These pressures have impacted grower confidence and investment decisions in some categories. Fruitfed Supplies has worked closely with our customers to provide support through technical advice, product solutions, and supply chain continuity. Our Technical Horticultural Representatives place particular emphasis on integrated crop protection strategies, product stewardship, and precision agriculture. These focus areas are increasingly important as growers seek to manage cost pressures, while maintaining high standards of quality.
Internally, we continued to invest in our people and systems. Training and development initiatives have upskilled our teams, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry knowledge and service delivery. Our supply chain was resilient, ensuring product availability despite ongoing global logistics challenges.
Water & Irrigation | Te Wai me te Whakamākūkū
Unseasonably high rainfall in early FY25 delayed irrigation maintenance, with some customers not irrigating at all during January, normally a busy month in the irrigation season. Continued wet conditions into autumn further impacted servicing, resulting in fewer completed projects and service jobs. Arable customers experienced global and domestic pressures and limited their spend levels in response to these market conditions. There was limited development work for our Sales & Project team in the first half of the financial year, with vigorous competition creating pricing pressure. However, the team has seen a momentum shift in the second half in response to a buoyant dairy sector, which has lifted investment confidence.
Client referrals continue to grow, reflecting our service team’s expanding technical expertise. PGW Water remains committed to capability development, with ongoing investment in specialised training. Several technicians have completed the Electrical Service Technician certification, enabling more electrical work capability and enhancing our in-field service offering.
Agritrade | Tauhokohoko Ahuwhenua
Agritrade, our wholesale business division, traded well at a revenue level despite a difficult operating environment. The business undertook a 'cost to serve' analysis designed to identify opportunities for operational cost reductions, uncover process efficiencies, evaluate our operating model, and improve margins. Revenue was positive comparatively to the prior year with contributions from our Maxcare products and growth in the animal health business.
The year was marked by some strategic investments in growth initiatives looking to the future. Agritrade launched its Farma range, an exclusive animal health product line developed by Nexan, to our veterinary customers. PGW’s acquisition of the Nexan Group, a leading New Zealand animal health manufacturer, was a key investment for PGW and Agritrade’s supply chain (see page 40).

Agency Group Rōpū umanga
Our Agency group incorporates the Livestock, Wool, and Real Estate businesses. Operating EBITDA was $23.5 million which was up by an impressive $11.1 million on the prior year’s result. Revenue was $201.0 million, up $20.3 million.
Livestock | Ngā Kararehe
Our Livestock business recorded exceptional financial results on the back of elevated meat pricing and increased volumes in beef and dairy cattle.
Strong demand for cattle, resulting from significant export demand and constrained supply internationally, drove livestock prices to record levels. Pricing remained high throughout the year due to processor demand, good feed reserves, and robust beef schedules. Farmers took the opportunity to sell older cattle ahead of winter to maximise returns and preserve pasture availability for young stock into spring.
Sheep pricing improved significantly year-on-year, particularly in the second half of the financial year. Elevated schedules allowed farmers to take advantage of prices where declining feed and dry conditions impacted production. The number of sheep transacted reduced slightly, a result of lower numbers throughout the country from continued land use change. A mild and early winter provided confidence for winter lambs, with many farmers taking advantage of increased prices rather than finishing stock.
It was a slow start to the dairy selling season, as good pricing for dairy resulted in strong demand and limited supply. Farmers preferred to hold on to livestock given conditions and the strong milk payout outlook. Pricing was buoyed by forecast milk prices, and high-end herd sales in the North Island generating exceptional values. There were also strong forward contracts for dairy herd sales.

The deer velvet market was strained at the beginning of the year due to a temporary import ban in the China market. The ban was lifted during the year and the amount of velvet transacted was overall only slightly down year-on-year, albeit at lower prices. This disruption caused delays to shipments throughout the year, but this was caught up from March onwards, with seven containers shipped in the final days of the financial year. We introduced Defer-a-Stag, an innovative tailored deferred payment solution designed to support deer farming customers manage cash flow, while continuing to invest in livestock during seasonal peaks.
Stud stock sales rebounded as clients returned to the market with an increased demand for sire bulls with records set during the selling season. The 33-year sale record for all bull breeds of $155,000 was broken at this year’s East Coast Angus bull sales, when a bull sold for $156,000. Remarkably, this record was broken the very next day, with another bull fetching $161,000.
Our GO-STOCK sheep, beef, dairy, and deer products experienced strong demand, remaining popular as an innovative solution for farmers seeking to free up capital. While earlier in the financial year there was reluctance for farmers to commit; declining interest rates, improved feed availability in the South Island, and higher stock values and meat schedules resulted in a steady uplift in GO-STOCK contracts.
Safety at our saleyards remained a key priority, with several sites undergoing significant upgrades to enhance both safety and operational facilities. The integration of the Frankton saleyard into the portfolio was completed smoothly, with the site also benefiting from infrastructure improvements.

A strategic priority for the Livestock business is the strengthening and growth of our supply chain partnerships with preferred meat processors. These relationships add value to PGW and our customers by providing consistent high-quality service, certainty, flexible contracts, and finance options. Even though there has been a year-on-year reduction in livestock sent to meat processors, it is pleasing that PGW has experienced growth in volumes across most species to our supply chain partners, indicating a growing market share.
Rural sales, particularly in the dairy and horticulture markets, have markedly improved on the prior year. This has been particularly notable in the Lower South Island (Otago and Southland regions) and the Central North Island (Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions). There were 14 rural sales greater than $10 million in value during the period, including a property that sold for greater than $40 million. Provincial towns saw increased activity as buyers were attracted to a combination of choice, value, and popular amenities. The lifestyle market has been slower to respond to improving market conditions, nevertheless still experienced a year-on-year improvement.
SkyCount™, PGW’s drone Artificial Intelligence solution for efficient and accurate in-field livestock count audits, is receiving enquiries from customers. The benefits of SkyCount™ include precise stock counts with reduced operational farming impacts, enhanced safety, and reduced stress for both animals and staff.
During the year, PGW Real Estate made a number of agent appointments to strengthen the team in key territories and to grow into new markets. The Real Estate business launched an Internal Referral Scheme aimed at leveraging our extensive connections and networks within PGW Group and provincial communities.
bidr®, our online trading platform, is well established in the livestock sector nationally and its database of buyers grew over the year. This growth was driven by continued demand for hybrid integration, online bidding, and livestreaming of cattle sales at saleyards and on-farm auctions. bidr® hosted over 1,000 auctions, with regular weekly sales at 14 saleyards nationwide. bidr® has firmly established itself as the New Zealand market leading online auction platform for livestock.

Real Estate | Hokohoko Whenua
Improved sentiment in the real estate market has continued, contributing to pleasing performance for PGW Real Estate, with revenue activity up by 55% on the same period last year. The market has been buoyed by a gradual downward trend in interest rates, stronger dairy payouts, robust red meat pricing, and farm gate prices breathing confidence into the sector. After a couple of years of low activity, the volume of property listings and sales activity reached levels not seen for some time.

Wool | Wūru
The wool season concluded with improved wool prices up on the previous year, though there remains significant room for further improvement to create a profitable future for wool growers. Strong wool prices improved on the back of reduced volumes produced, and export volumes declining in line with the reducing sheep flock. Mid-micron wool rose dramatically towards the back end of the season, with prices reaching levels not seen for several years. The season was mixed for fine wool, with ultra-fine wool in high demand.
It was a challenging year for wool production due to difficult growing conditions and a notable decline in shearable sheep, leading to a reduction in bales handled across our stores. Despite the reduced bale numbers, we maintained market share. It is hoped that recent favourable growing conditions will result in increased fleece weight and higher quality wool, leading to improved grower returns. While the season closed out with the strong wool price indicator up on the previous year, there remains significant room for value growth.

PGW partnered with iconic Kiwi brand Norsewear to strengthen the value of ethically produced New Zealand wool and support domestic manufacturing. The partnership connects PGW growers directly with trusted manufacturers, delivering price certainty and value for growers through long-term contracts, by ensuring reliable demand and supply of fully traceable New Zealand wool. Wool Integrity NZ™, PGW Wool’s assurance brand, certifies that the wool meets world-leading standards in animal welfare and sustainability. The goal is to build confidence in this value chain and encourage more brands to follow.
Peter McCusker, PGW Wool Representative (C), discusses the high quality and ideal suitability of Meikleburn’s fine half-bred wool for Norsewear’s product range, with Tim Deane, owner of Norsewear (L), and Heidi and Andrew Jamison (R) with their son, managers of Meikleburn Station, near Fairlie, South Canterbury.
Our wool exporting subsidiary, Bloch & Behrens Wool (NZ) Limited, achieved an increase in wool export volumes to key markets, predominantly in Europe. This was particularly pleasing given wool volumes exported from New Zealand declined in the year.

PGW Group Strategy | Initiatives
We have recently announced three important initiatives that fit well with our strategy of enhancing PGW’s position as the market leader in the rural servicing sector in relation to our technical offering.
These initiatives further develop and leverage our existing strengths and amplify a number of our Group’s Strategic Priorities; in particular our ambitions to capitalise on Customer Focused Innovation and our Differentiated Offering. Customer Focused Innovation identifies innovative solutions that utilise science and systems to support farmers and growers achieve their production goals. Our Differentiated Offering hones in on the unique areas of competitive advantage that set PGW apart from others in the market. Ultimately, these initiatives all target growth opportunities for the business, while leveraging PGW’s core competency around its technical offering.
Nexan Group Acqusition
The acquisition is a complementary strategic fit, aligning with our PGW Group Strategy while supporting growth. PGW has partnered with Nexan for over a decade, and its commitment to innovation and rural communities aligns well with PGW’s vision and purpose. The acquisition ensures these trusted New Zealand made products remain backed by local expertise and tailored to meet the needs of our rural communities. Nexan has a proven record in the research and development (R&D) space as an innovator, and we see this core capability adding to PGW’s strengths.
In July 2025, PGW acquired Nexan Group, the manufacturer of animal health products. This investment reinforces PGW’s commitment to supporting local manufacturing and delivering high-quality innovative solutions that help New Zealand farmers thrive.
Through Agritrade, our wholesale division, PGW will continue to exclusively distribute Nexan’s full product range, which is widely available through veterinary practices and rural merchants across New Zealand, including PGW’s Retail network.

Building brand equity in our proprietary BlueAG range will provide greater branding recognition, and the opportunity to build trust and credibility in our label, which we will continue to grow and develop with additional ranging over time. BlueAG provides PGW with price-point control, while giving our customers more product options they can trust.
Another key growth initiative is our ‘BlueAG’ private label ag-chem range which will be stocked through our Rural Supplies and Fruitfed Supplies stores later this year.
Research and Development Site
We also recently announced that PGW has taken the lease of the Geelen Family Trust Research Station, previously operated by Bayer Crop Science, in Hastings.
PGW has had a longstanding commitment to R&D, and this site is an extension of that continued investment.
The site will be a dedicated hub for horticultural and agricultural research. Each year, PGW’s dedicated Technical Team runs some 70 to 80 scientific trials in paddocks and orchards across the country, in collaboration with cooperating farmers and growers. By investing in our own dedicated site, it will enable us to expand on those trial programmes and implement more controlled and scalable research at this specifically purposed facility. This R&D pipeline will allow us to deliver even greater insights and value on-farm and orchard for years to come.
The 2.8-hectare site is currently split into approximately 600 apple trees, 50 peach trees, 1,100 metres of grapevines, and around one hectare of grasses which will likely be cultivated into fodder and onion crops.
PGW’s trials may investigate the efficacy of new plant protection products, evaluate herbicides as part of registration processes, or look into how particular fertilisers work in New Zealand conditions. Each trial builds a deeper knowledge and understanding of the products to be supplied to our customers.
We learn firsthand how these products work in local conditions, often years before they are available to our market or before our competitors are even aware of them. The knowledge gained during these trials is fed directly to our frontline staff working with farmers and growers. Results from the first trials, launching in September, are expected from January 2026.

PGW Group Strategy | Performance Measures
Performance Measures
Another Strategic Priority are our PGW Group Performance Measures. These measures identify several key performance indicators we track on an ongoing basis, to assess how well we are delivering on the business outcomes we aim to achieve, and how we can analyse and interpret the data to improve these business outcomes. The three performance areas we monitor as part of this Strategic Priority include measures for Financial Performance, Safety Performance, and Customer Experience.
Financial Performance:
One of our key objectives is to maintain positive growth across the financial cycles, ensuring long-term value creation for our shareholders. Our three financial performance measure results for FY25 were as follows:
Normalised EBIT:
Earnings per Share (EPS):
ROCE:
Target of 10% growth in Normalised Earnings Before Interest and Tax over a three-year rolling cycle.
Target 10% Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) over a threeyear rolling cycle.
Earnings Per Share (EPS): Target of 11 cents per share for the financial year to 30 June 2025.
FY25: FY25: FY25: -24% 9% 14 cents per share Not achieved Not achieved Achieved
PGW’s EPS benefited from the much-improved operating result, in particular for the Livestock and Real Estate businesses.
While the result was just short of the target, it was impacted by the challenging FY24 result which was largely a product of the economic environment that was felt across the agricultural sector.
Although FY25 included a rebound for the Livestock and Real Estate businesses, this did not offset the reduced earnings in the Retail & Water business compared to the record FY23 result.
Safety Performance:
The Health, Safety, and Wellbeing of our people is of utmost importance to us and an area where we want to raise PGW’s game. A key safety performance measure is continuous improvement in our safety and wellbeing culture. This is measured through our Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR), a common safety metric used by organisations to measure improvement. We are committed to continuous annual improvement and demonstrated this against various Critical Risks. Our overall TRIFR result for FY25 was as follows:
Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR): Demonstrate continuous annual improvement in our safety outcomes.
FY25:
A slight increase from previous year’s result
Not achieved
The TRIFR rate increased by 4.6%* compared to FY24. This is partly as a result of improved reporting across the business as our safety culture matures. We continue to monitor our results, as we strive to continually improve our safety performance.
* These calculations are based on contracted hours worked by permanent and temporary employees, using a base of 1 million hours.
Customer Experience:
PGW’s purpose is to help our farmer and grower customers succeed. A key feature of PGW’s success as a business is the trust that customers place in PGW, our people, and our brand. We know that PGW is seen as a trusted provider to the rural servicing sector. We do not take that for granted, we undertake external research regularly to better understand customer perceptions of PGW and gather insights as to how we are seen as a business. This work provides good actionable observations relating to the deep customer relationships our frontline staff have and the trust that our customers place in PGW.
Given customer experience is so important to our continued success as a business our strategy is to target continual annual improvements in our Group Net Promoter Scores (NPS) measures. NPS is a commonly used measurement of customer satisfaction and loyalty, which is based on a customer’s likelihood to recommend a service or business. PGW’s Group NPS results for FY25 are as follows:
Net Promoter Score (NPS):
Target continual annual improvement.
FY25:
Significant positive gain from previous year’s NPS survey
Achieved
PGW’s Group NPS experienced a significant positive gain on last year. These results align with an improvement in rural confidence levels as recorded in recent sentiment surveys. Importantly, it also indicates that PGW’s NPS scores have improved noticeably relative to our key competitors.

Three Decades of Dedication: Celebrating the Rollesby Valley Lamb Sale
The celebration of South Canterbury’s 30th annual Rollesby Valley Lamb Sale in Burke’s Pass, also marked the 30th anniversary of dedicated, continuous support from PGW Livestock Representative, Bruce Dunbar. Bruce’s commitment to this event and the local community is the culmination of his passion for the sector and representative of the relationships cultivated with vendors and buyers over three decades of service.

Left: Sign acknowledging the 30 years of support from PGW and Bruce Dunbar from Single Hill Farm, west of Fairlie, South Canterbury.
The single-farm initiative between Bruce and the Munro family at Airies Station that began in 1995 was a relatively new concept at a time when on-farm livestock auctions were rare.
O n board from the start, neighbouring farms joined the progressive sale event, moving from farm to farm throughout the day. Over the decades, the sale has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated livestock events. Peak years have included up to eight farms selling some 22,000 lambs sold in a single day. This year, six farms participated to contribute a total of 16,000 lambs to the sale.
have him on board for the past 30 odd years.”
The logistics behind the sale are a significant undertaking. Each year the event harnesses the support from the entire PGW team and involves meticulous coordination across multiple farms. PGW Livestock Trainees from Otago and Canterbury lend a hand, gaining valuable experience.
Rollesby Valley Lamb Sale’s mid-February date is ideal timing for store lamb buyers throughout the South Island. Many buyers are Mid-Canterbury cropping farmers looking to restock after their harvest. The sale’s format, offering store lambs freshly weaned and sorted by size and type, ensures buyers receive highquality animals at a time when demand is strong.
Peter Newbold, PGW’s General Manager - Livestock, comments,
“Bruce has been a cornerstone of this event for 30 years. His dedication and strong relationships with his clients and the wider farming community has been key to the sale’s continued success. Even in years when market conditions were less favourable, the sale consistently delivered strong results, thanks in a large part to Bruce’s strategic approach and trusted relationships. The farmers of Rollesby Valley are longstanding and valued PGW customers, whose loyalty to the company we deeply appreciate and respect.”
Bruce noted that this year’s sale reflected one of the best growing seasons in recent memory, “Late spring and summer brought exceptional pasture growth, and with export schedules remaining firm, farmers were well-positioned to benefit. Most vendors saw price increases of $35 to $50 per head compared to last year, which speaks to the strength of the market and the quality of the lambs on offer.”
The sale route alternates annually, either starting at the bottom of the valley and moving upward or vice versa. This year, the sale went up the valley, showcasing the diversity and scale of the participating properties.
While the roster of farms has shifted over time, a core group have remained constant participants. These farms, all Bruce’s long-time clients, help maintain the sale’s reputation for reliability and quality.
As the Rollesby Valley Lamb Sale enters its fourth decade, it remains a vital fixture in South Canterbury’s agricultural landscape and calendar. With strong vendor participation, loyal buyers, and a dedicated team behind the scenes, the event continues to thrive thanks in no small part to Bruce’s enduring leadership and the collaborative spirit of the local farming community.
Grant Munro of Airies Station Partnership says, “It's been amazing working with Bruce. He's been our agent for my father and myself, so he's been our go to guy for the past 30 years. He's been incredibly good at what he does, he’s always approachable. PGW’s been very lucky to

Cristiano Padilha (C), Fruitfed Supplies Technical Horticultural Representative, checks out this season's satsuma mandarin harvest with Bruce Van Dorp (L) and John MacPherson (R), both Orchard Managers with Ngāi Tukairangi Trust, near Gisborne, Tairāwhiti.
Bruce van Dorp and John MacPherson, two season orchard managers, brought decades of experience to the merger and began a valuable and continuing relationship between Bruce, John, and Cristiano Padiha, Fruited Supplies Technical Horticultural Representative.
O ne of the new orchards, Kahui ā Nuku located in Makauri, grows nine hectares of persimmons, six hectares of Gold kiwifruit, and two and a half hectares of mandarins. Bruce has managed these blocks for over 30 years during which time he has cultivated a deep-rooted knowledge of Gisborne’s horticultural landscape. He has shaped the orchard into a high-performing operation through his commitment to innovation. From pioneering the region’s early transition from Hayward to Gold kiwifruit in the 1990s to combating changing climate conditions by elevating root systems to allow water to run off into the middle of the rows, the orchard’s success can be directly linked to Bruce’s handiwork.
John has managed Kahui ā Rangi for decades prior to the Ngāi Tukairangi Trust's purchase. The site currently spans 11 hectares of persimmons and eight hectares of Gold kiwifruit. For years, Bruce and John have worked together, combining their crews for harvest and thinning. Finding strength in collaboration, they maintain close communication with Ngāi Tukairangi Trust’s other regional managers to share insights and best practices. Both orchards supply domestic and export markets with export fruit destined for Asia, Australia, and North America.
After joining Fruitfed Supplies 15 months ago, Cristiano Padilha, Technical Horticultural Representative, quickly became a trusted advisor to Bruce and John, providing timely product recommendations, technical support, and logistical assistance.

Fruitfed Supplies is proud to be part of this environment, supporting growers like Bruce and John with tailored advice, reliable service, and collaboration. Their partnership is a testament to the value of trust, consistency, commitment, and the strength of relationships.
with timely advice and reliable service. Together, we’ve built a strong relationship to help the orchard thrive. It’s rewarding to be part of a team so committed to excellence and innovation.”
“Cristiano has slotted in seamlessly,” Bruce says. “He understands our routines and the seasonal pressures we face, assisting us with monitoring pests, planning crop protection programmes, and ensuring the orchards have access to the latest ag-chem solutions. We’ve been working with Fruitfed Supplies for over 15 years and our partnership is particularly critical in managing the unique challenges of Turanganui-a-Kiwa, such as heavier soils and increasing autumn rainfall. It’s always handy when Cristiano can deliver supplies directly to us, especially when we’re in the thick of harvest or thinning.”
Their collaboration with Cristiano ensures the operations run smoothly. Christiano’s technical expertise and quick response to their needs ensures Bruce and John can focus on strategic orchard management, confident that their crop protection plans and supply needs are in capable hands.
The horticultural landscape in Gisborne is evolving, Bruce says there is a shift toward larger corporate ownership and increasing compliance demands. “It’s a different environment now, but one that still depends on good people and strong local knowledge.”
Cristiano appreciates Bruce’s knowhow, “Working with Bruce is a privilege. His depth of experience and practical knowledge make every conversation valuable. My role is to support his vision

Research Powered by collaboration: New data reveals a new tool to manage drench resistance
Drench resistance and worm challenge are a growing issue for New Zealand’s sheep and cattle industry. As there are no new drench actives on the horizon, PGW and PGG Wrightson Seeds Limited (under separate ownership) collaborated in a multi-year research trial to reduce worm burdens on-farm, and reduce drenching, resulting in slowing of drench resistance.
ANNUAL REPORT 2025[|] 53
Our People | Research Powered by Collaboration
The results show summer forage crops can reduce parasite burdens in livestock, reducing a reliance on chemical drenches and slowing resistance development.
pasture. Many reached processing weight before needing another treatment, saving farmers two to three drenches per animal, reducing input costs and unnecessary yarding.
S upported by last year’s inaugural PGW Research & Development Internship Programme, a summer intern researched sustainable parasite management practices in livestock. Until this trial, the concept of using forage crops as a viable parasite management tool was assumed by industry, but there was limited modern New Zealand data to support this approach. The trial confirmed the benefits of summer forage crops. These highly nutritious, high protein, high energy crops grow taller and more openly than traditional pasture. The upright nature of these crops means more sunlight during the establishment phase to create an environment inhospitable to parasites, resulting in fewer parasite larvae for the young stock to ingest.
Jason Leslie (BVSc) PGW Technical Expert – Animal Health and veterinarian explains, “New Zealand’s temperate climate and moisture levels create ideal conditions for worm larvae to thrive in pasture. This is especially problematic for young stock with underdeveloped immune systems.”
Charlotte Westwood (BVSc, MANCVS, MVM, PhD) Veterinary Nutritionist at PGG Wrightson Seeds adds, “The controlled conditions at Kimihia allowed for precise monitoring, while the results on commercial farms confirmed the practical benefits of the approach. This trial highlights the importance of agronomic planning. It’s not just about planting a crop, it’s about managing it properly to keep grass and weeds out, which can harbour larvae. This is a full farm systems approach, and it’s great to see both PGW and PGG Wrightson Seeds involved in developing and supporting these technologies.”
The trial, conducted across multiple sites including PGG Wrightson Seeds’ Kimihia Research Centre, satellite farms, and commercial properties throughout the North and South Islands, focused on the traditional 28-day drenching cycle. Using faecal egg counts to monitor worm reinfection over a 70-day grazing period, the team found animals grazing on summer forage crops experienced lower parasite loads compared to those on
==> picture [367 x 179] intentionally omitted <==
Jason and Charlotte recommend getting your agronomist to check for weeds in the paddock so they can be cleaned out before planting. Establishment of the summer forage crop takes from six weeks to three months, depending on the particular crop. The absence of stock over this period means any larvae already present are reducing with no introduction of new parasites. Any contamination of the crop with weeds, in particular grass weeds, reduces the protection against worm reinfection.
The trial’s success gained attention during its launch at Controlling Parasites of Livestock, an industry and veterinary workshop hosted by Elanco New Zealand. It was then subsequently presented at the New Zealand Veterinary Association Conference to equal acclaim. Wormwise, New Zealand’s national worm management strategy group, has also recognised the benefits of this trial and has reiterated the benefits of grazing animals on summer forage crops.
This initiative aligns with PGW’s broader mission to support farmers with sustainable, evidence-based solutions. By promoting the use of summer forage crops, PGW is helping farmers improve productivity, reduce input costs, and protect the long-term viability of parasite control methods.
This trial underscores PGW’s role in solving industry challenges through practical, science-backed innovation. With strong data and farmer-focused implementation, summer forage crops are proving to be a fantastic tool in New Zealand’s parasite management strategy.

Segment Report
For the year ended / as at 30 June 2025
A. Operating segments
The Group has two primary operating segments, Agency and Retail & Water, which are the Group's strategic divisions. These operating segments operate within New Zealand.
The two operating segments offer different products and services, and are managed separately because they require different skills, technology and marketing strategies. Within each segment, further business unit analysis may be provided to management where there are significant differences in the nature of activities. The Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board reviews internal management reports on each strategic business unit on at least a monthly basis. The Group's segments are described below:
-
Agency: This segment derives its revenue primarily from commissions in respect of rural Livestock, Wool and Real Estate transactions. This segment also derives revenue from wool and velvet product sales, and interest revenue from its GO-STOCK receivables (refer to Note 12 GO-STOCK receivables for further explanation regarding this programme).
-
Retail & Water: This segment includes the Rural Supplies and Fruitfed Supplies retail operations, Agritrade, PGG Wrightson Water, ancillary sales support and supply chain functions. This segment derives its revenue primarily from the sale of goods as well as the design, installation and servicing of irrigation solutions.
Corporate costs allocation
The Group allocates certain Corporate costs to an operating segment where they can be directly attributed to that segment or using the following methods:
-
IT hardware, support, licence and other costs are allocated on a per user basis.
-
Property costs which are not directly attributable are allocated on a property space utilisation basis.
-
Business operations costs (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Call Centre) are allocated based on FTE usage by each operating segment or transactional volumes. Credit Services costs are allocated to the operating segment to which the overdue accounts relate.
Other costs such as non-operating gains/losses, impairment and fair value gains/losses, net interest expense, foreign exchange items and income tax expense are not fully allocated by the Group across the operating segments. The Group Governance, Finance, Treasury, and Risk and Assurance functions continue to be reported outside of the operating segments.
B. Geographical segment
The Group operates within New Zealand only and its revenue is derived primarily from New Zealand.
- Other (non-operating): Other relates to certain Group Corporate activities including Governance, Finance, Treasury, Risk and Assurance, and other support services (such as corporate property services and marketing). The Marketing function derives sales revenue from the Group's rewards and on-charging programmes.
Assets and liabilities allocated to each business unit combine to form total assets and liabilities for the Agency and Retail & Water business segments. Certain other assets and liabilities are held at a Corporate level including those for the Corporate functions noted above. Similarly, the profit or loss for each business unit combines to form total profit or loss of the Agency and Retail & Water business segments. Certain other revenues and expenses are recorded at the Corporate level for the Corporate functions noted above.

Income Recognition Accounting Policies
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.
Sales revenue
Sales revenue comprises the sale value of transactions where the Group acts as a principal; for example, retail store sales, and sales of wool and velvet products. Revenue is measured at the transaction price when control is transferred to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For the sale of goods, the transfer of control occurs when the risks and rewards, physical possession and the legal title of the goods have been transferred and accepted by the customer and the customer has a present obligation to make payment in respect of the goods.
Customers may be entitled to discounts or rebates for certain items and/or volumes purchased, under varying categories. These discounts or rebates are defined as variable consideration and are included in the transaction price as a component of operating revenue upon the completion of the Group's performance obligations. These discounts or rebates are contractual in nature and known as at balance date, therefore, no assumptions or estimates are required.
The Group offers a range of payment terms, and in some cases these can be up to 12 months. The Group does not recognise a financing element for sales with terms of 12 months or less.
The Group offers warranties as required by New Zealand law and/or per the terms and conditions of the contracts with customers. The Group recognises the obligations under these warranties as a provision.
Commission revenue
Commission revenue comprises commission for transactions where the Group acts as an agent. For agency commissions, the Group does not take inventory risk or title for inventories, or for the Group's Livestock and Real Estate businesses, biological assets and properties respectively. The Group generates commissions from acting as an agent for organising the sale of livestock or real estate. Revenue is recognised at a point in time upon completion of the service.
Construction contract revenue

Construction services are provided to customers in the Water business to construct pivots and irrigation systems. Most contracts contain a single performance obligation. The size and duration of the contracts can vary significantly, and customers are invoiced as work progresses. Most contracts are completed within 12 months; therefore, the unearned revenue on these contracts are not disclosed.
The Group accounts for revenue over time, which best depicts the pattern of transfer of the construction services to the customer. The Group uses an input method to recognise revenue based on a percentage of cost completed. This method involves judgements relating to a contract's expected margin and its stage of completion.
Interest and similar income and expense
The Group recognises the fixed fees charged to customers under its GO-STOCK programme as interest revenue. Refer to Note 12 GO-STOCK Receivables for further explanation regarding this programme. This interest revenue is recognised over the term of the GO-STOCK contracts which can be for a term of up to 540 days.
The Group also recognises interest revenue on overdue receivables using the effective interest method. Refer to the accounting policies under Note 6 Net Interest Expense and Foreign Exchange Items for further explanation on the effective interest method.
Sublease income
The Group recognises lease payments received under subleases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Refer to Note 15 Right-of-Use Assets and Lease Liabilities for further explanation.

The carrying value of the Group's assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses directly reduce the carrying value of assets and are recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard.
Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which the asset relates is estimated. A CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that are largely independent from other assets and groups.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have reduced. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
Net Interest Expense and Foreign Exchange Items Accounting Policies
Interest and similar income and expense
For all financial instruments measured at amortised cost, interest income or expense is recorded at the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses. Once the recorded value of a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets has been reduced due to an impairment loss, interest income continues to be recognised using the original effective interest rate applied to the new carrying amount.
Fair value change on foreign exchange derivatives
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and exposure to movements in foreign currency arises from these activities. The Group uses forward foreign exchange contracts to manage these exposures. These derivatives are recorded at their fair value with mark-to-market fair value movements flowing through fair value gain/(loss) on foreign exchange derivatives in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. Although the derivatives have not been designated in a hedge relationship, they act as an economic hedge and will offset the underlying transactions when they occur.

8 Earnings Per Share and Net Tangible Assets
A. Earnings per share (EPS)
The calculation of EPS is based on the following profit figures and number of authorised shares.
Income Tax Accounting Policies
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred taxation and is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity, in which case it is recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity.
Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, calculated using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax includes any adjustment to tax payable with respect to previous periods. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is not recognised for:
– taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill;
– temporary differences relating to subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; – temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be recognised. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Earnings Per Share Accounting Policies
The Group presents basic and diluted EPS data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss and the number of shares outstanding to include the effects of all potential dilutive shares.

- Working capital facilities of up to $85.00 million maturing on 30 June 2027 (2024: $85.00 million maturing on 27 February 2026). This facility had $13.00 million drawn at 30 June 2025 (2024: $13.00 million drawn).
The syndicated facilities fund the general commercial activities of the Group, the seasonal fluctuations in working capital and the GO-STOCK receivables. Interest on these syndicated facilities is determined based on floating rates (i.e. OCR or BKBM plus a margin).
The Company has granted a general security deed and mortgage over all its wholly-owned New Zealand assets to a security trust. Bank of New Zealand acts as facility agent and security trustee for the banking syndicate, which comprises Bank of New Zealand, Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A. (New Zealand branch) and Westpac New Zealand Limited. The agreement contains various financial covenants and restrictions, including maximum permissible ratios for debt leverage and operating leverage, together with limits for GO-STOCK receivables, capital expenditure and asset disposals. Covenants are reported to the facility agent on a quarterly basis.
The syndicated facility agreement allows the Group, subject to certain conditions, to enter into additional facilities outside of the Company's syndicated facility. The additional facilities are guaranteed by the security trust. These facilities amounted to $4.77 million as at 30 June 2025 (2024: $4.77 million) and included the following:
Derivative Financial Instruments Accounting Policies
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and transaction costs are expensed immediately. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognised in profit or loss. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is based on broker quotes.
Where the Group enters into derivative transactions, these agreements do not meet the criteria for offsetting in the consolidated statement of financial position. The fair value amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position are recorded on a gross basis. The Group does not currently apply hedge accounting.
-
Overdraft facilities of $3.00 million. This facility was undrawn at 30 June 2025 (2024: undrawn).
-
Guarantees and letters of credit of $1.77 million.

12 GO-STOCK Receivables
The Group holds receivables in respect of its GO-STOCK range of livestock products. The GO-STOCK range allows farmers to defer payment for the purchase of livestock. The counterparty farmer to the GO-STOCK product is fully exposed to the risks and rewards of ownership of the livestock. To mitigate credit risk, the Group retains legal title to the livestock until its sale. Fee income received in respect of the GO-STOCK receivables is recognised by the Group as interest income over the respective contract period and is included within operating revenue (refer to Note 1 Operating Revenue ). Accrued interest income in respect of the GO-STOCK receivables is included within Other Receivables (refer to Note 11 Trade and Other Receivables ) and amounts to $2.82 million as at 30 June 2025 (2024: $2.35 million).

Trade and Other Receivables and GO-STOCK Receivables Accounting Policies
Recognition and measurement
A receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price and classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Accounts receivable includes accrued interest.
Impairment
Specific provisions are maintained to cover identified impaired receivables. Judgement is required in determining the impairment provision. The Group recognises loss allowances for the expected credit loss (ECL) on Trade and GO-STOCK receivables. The Group measures loss allowances for Trade and GO-STOCK receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost and effort. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information. The Group assumes that the credit risk has increased significantly if the receivable is more than 60 days past due. The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held).
On a monthly basis, the Group via its Credit Committee, assesses whether Trade and GO-STOCK receivables are credit-impaired. All individual instruments that are considered significant are subject to this approach. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data such as significant financial difficulty of the debtor. Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

Inventories Accounting Policies
Raw materials and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on a weighted average cost basis. In the case of manufactured goods, cost includes direct materials, labour and production overheads. Judgement is required in determining the net realisable value for inventories.

The Group leases many assets, including:
Intangible Assets Accounting Policies
Software
Software is a finite life intangible and is recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life between 1 and 15 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
Rights
Manufacturing and production rights are finite life intangibles and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life between 2 and 10 years. The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period and adjusted if appropriate.
Capital Work in Progress
Capital work in progress includes the cost of materials, services, labour and direct production overheads and is stated net of impairments.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group's intangible assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. For intangible assets that have indefinite lives, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Refer to the accounting policy under Note 5 Impairment and Fair Value Gains/(Losses) for further explanation.
-
leases of land and buildings from which it conducts operations. These leases range in length from one to ten years with various rights of renewal. Where surplus properties are unable to be exited, the Group subleases these properties where possible and derives sublease revenue on a short-term temporary basis.

A maturity analysis of lease liabilities is included in Note 19 Financial Instruments – Fair Values and Risk Management .
Where practicable, the Group seeks to include extension options in new leases to provide operational flexibility. Some of the Group's property leases contain extension options exercisable by the Group up to one year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. The extension options are exercisable only by the Group and not by the lessors. The Group assesses at the lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension options. A reassessment is made subsequently if there is any significant event or significant changes in circumstances within the Group's control. The Group estimates that the potential future lease payments, should it exercise all the extension options, would result in an increase in lease liabilities of $109.47 million (2024: $103.86 million).

Lease Accounting Policies
The Group assesses at the inception of a contract as to whether the contract is, or contains, a lease as defined in NZ IFRS 16 Leases .
(i) As a lessee
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The Group elects not to recognise rightof-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term or low-value leases. The Group continues to expense lease payments associated with these leases on a straight-line basis.
A number of judgements and estimates are made in calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability amounts. The judgements and estimates include the applicable lease terms (including any rights of renewal expected to be exercised) and the Group's incremental borrowing rate.
Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of lease liability adjusted for any prepaid lease payments, plus any initial direct costs incurred and any estimated restoration costs, and less any lease incentives received. These assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the lease term or the asset's useful life. Right-of-use assets are periodically reduced by impairment losses (if any) and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and any exercise price the Group is reasonably certain to exercise. The lease payments are discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the Group would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar environment under similar terms and conditions. After the commencement date, lease liabilities are increased to reflect interest on the lease liabilities and reduced to reflect the lease payments made. Interest on lease liabilities is charged to the profit or loss and is the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities are remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, a change in the Group's estimate of any amount payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liabilities are remeasured, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets, or recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
(ii) As a lessor
When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sublease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sublease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. The Group recognises lease payments received under operating leases as income within the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Property, Plant and Equipment Accounting Policies
Recognition and measurement
Capital work in progress is stated at cost, net of accumulated impairment losses. Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the cost of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment. When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the profit or loss during the reporting period that the item is disposed.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of property, buildings, plant and equipment. Leasehold assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Land is not depreciated. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are between 2 and 40 years for plant and equipment and between 5 and 50 years for buildings. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
Assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. The sale must be highly probable and the asset available for immediate sale in its present condition. Non-current assets held for sale are measured at the lower of the asset’s carrying amount and its fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group's property, plant and equipment assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount. Refer to the accounting policy under Note 5 Impairment and Fair Value Gains/(Losses) for further explanation.

For the year ended 30 June 2025
17 Trade and Other Payables (continued)
A. Make good provision on leased properties
During the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group recognised an additional provision of $0.02 million (2024: $0.13 million) in respect of new property leases entered into during the year. These costs have been capitalised to the right-of-use assets and are amortised over the life of the right-of-use assets. The Group also released $0.08 million (2024: $0.12 million) of provision in respect to leased properties which it exited. At the reporting date, the balance of the make good provision is $2.62 million (2024: $2.68 million). The Group expects to settle this liability over the next 10 years as the leases expire.
B. Client claims provision
The Group receives client claims from time to time as part of the ordinary course of business and these claims are reviewed on a case by case basis to determine validity. As at balance date, the Group was in the process of reviewing certain claims for the supply of goods which are typically the responsibility of suppliers under terms of trade. The Group recognises a provision for its best estimate of any obligation.
18 Defined Benefit Asset/(Liability)
The Group makes contributions to the PGG Wrightson Employee Benefits Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan is governed under one trust deed and the assets of the plan are unallocated to any of the Plan members. The Plan provides a range of superannuation and insurance benefits for employees and former employees. The Plan is registered under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Plan is not open to new members. Certain retired employees of the Plan are entitled to receive an annual pension payment payable for their remaining life, and in some cases, for the remaining life of a surviving partner.
The Group accounts for its interest in the Plan as a defined benefit plan with defined benefit obligations in accordance with NZ IAS 19 Employee Benefits because the Group has a legal obligation to pay further contributions, if the Plan does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The Group has an obligation to ensure the Plan has sufficient assets to pay the benefits of all members of the Plan.
The actuarial calculations for the Plan are undertaken by Michael Chamberlain, a fellow of the New Zealand Society of Actuaries, for MCA NZ Limited.

Employee Benefits Accounting Policies
Defined benefit plan
The Group's net obligation with respect to its defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets. The discount rate is the yield at the reporting date on bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations. The calculation is performed by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Group, the recognised asset is limited to the lower of the net assets of the Plan or the current value of the contributions holiday that is expected to be generated.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit asset or liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets, are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and the defined benefit plan reserve in equity. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised in profit or loss.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Long-term employee benefits
Provisions made with respect to employee benefits which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the Group with respect to services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

A. Accounting classifications and fair values (continued)
Fair value hierarchy
The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

B. Financial management risk
The Group's primary risks are those of liquidity and funding, credit and market (foreign currency, price and interest rate) risks.
The Group is committed to the management of risk to achieve sustainability of service, employment and profits, and therefore, takes on controlled amounts of risk when considered appropriate. The Board of Directors is responsible for the review and ratification of the Group's systems of risk management, internal compliance and control, code of conduct and legal compliance. The Board maintains a formal set of delegated authorities (including policies for credit and treasury) that clearly define the responsibilities delegated to Management and those retained by the Board. The Board approves these delegated authorities and reviews them annually.
The following Management committees review and manage key risks:
-
The Senior Management Team meets regularly to consider new and emerging risks, review actions required to manage and mitigate key risks, and to monitor progress.
-
The Credit Committee, comprising of Management appointees, meets regularly to review credit risk, account limits and provisioning.
Management formally reports on all aspects of key risks to the Audit Committee at least two times each year.
(i) Liquidity and funding risks
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in raising funds at short notice to meet commitments associated with financial instruments. Funding risk is the risk of over-reliance on a funding source to the extent that a change in that funding source could increase overall funding costs or cause difficulty in raising funds.
The Group manages liquidity risk by forecasting daily cash requirements and future funding requirements, and maintaining an adequate liquidity headroom. The Group monitors its liquidity daily, weekly and monthly and maintains appropriate liquid assets and committed bank funding facilities to meet all obligations in a timely and cost efficient manner. The Group has a policy of funding diversification and utilises a banking syndicate to limit concentration risk in relation to liquidity and funding. The funding policy augments the Group's liquidity policy with its aim to ensure the Group has a stable diversified funding base without over-reliance on any one market sector.
The objectives of the Group's funding and liquidity policy is to:
-
Ensure all financial obligations are met when due;
-
Provide adequate protection, even under crisis scenarios; and
-
Achieve competitive funding within the limitations of liquidity requirements.

19 Financial Instruments – Fair Values and Risk Management (continued)
B. Financial management risk (continued)
(ii) Credit risk
Credit risk is the potential for loss that could occur as a result of a counterparty failing to discharge its obligations. This may be due to extreme weather events or volatility in commodity prices.
Concentrations of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to concentrations of credit risk principally consist of bank balances, trade receivables, GO-STOCK receivables, other receivables, other investments and forward foreign exchange contracts. The Group places its cash with two major trading banks. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade and GO-STOCK receivables are limited due to the large number of customers included in the Group's farming customer base in New Zealand.
(iii) Market risk
Market risk is the potential for change in the value recorded in the Statement of Financial Position caused by a change in the value, volatility or relationship between market risks and prices. Market risk arises from the mismatch between assets and liabilities, both on and off balance sheet. Market risk includes price, foreign currency and interest rate risk which are explained as follows:
Concentrations of market risk
The Group has exposure to commodity pricing risk on Wool and Velvet inventories and forward Wool and Velvet sales and purchase contracts. This is mitigated by the Group having policies around unmatched positions. Other inventory is of merchandise nature and the Group has a range of suppliers or has entered into long-term supply agreements.
Foreign currency risk
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies and exposure to movements in foreign currency arises from these activities. The Group manages this risk by using forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency risks as they arise.
Foreign currency exposure risk
The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is summarised below. The notional forward exchange cover includes forward foreign exchange contracts entered into to economically hedge forward sale and purchase commitments.

B. Financial management risk (continued)
(iii) Market risk (continued)
Interest rate risk
Floating rate borrowings are used for general funding activities. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments and the interest margin will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The risk is that financial assets may be repriced at a different time and/or by a different amount than financial liabilities.
This risk is managed by operating within approved policy limits using an interest rate duration approach. Interest rate swaps, interest rate options and forward rate agreements may be used to hedge the floating rate exposure as deemed appropriate. The Group had no interest rate derivatives at 30 June 2025 (2024: Nil).
Interest rate repricing schedule
The following tables include the Group's liabilities at their carrying amounts, categorised by the earlier of contractual repricing or maturity dates:
| WITHIN 1 TO 2 OVER NON-INTEREST 12 MONTHS YEARS 2 YEARS BEARING TOTAL $000 $000 $000 $000 $000 |

|
| – 63,000 – 111,348 174,348 |
|
Sensitivity analysis
The Group's treasury policy effectively insulates earnings from the effect of short-term fluctuations in either foreign exchange. Over the longer term however, permanent changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates will have an impact on the profit or loss. A 2% change in interest rate has been modelled as it is considered a reasonably possible change (2024: 2%). The sensitivity of net profit after tax for the year ended 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2024, and shareholders equity as at those dates, to reasonably possible changes in conditions is shown below.
| INTEREST RATES | INTEREST RATES | INTEREST RATES | INTEREST RATES | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| INCREASE BY 2% | INCREASE BY 2% | DECREASE BY 2% | DECREASE BY 2% | |
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| $000 | $000 | $000 | $000 | |
| Increase/(decrease) in net proft after tax and shareholders' equity | (1,475) | (1,277) | 1,458 | 1,220 |
Other market risks such as pricing and foreign exchange are not considered likely to lead to material change over the next reporting period. The Group's financial assets and liabilities are predominantly held in New Zealand Dollars (NZD). For this reason, a sensitivity analysis of these market risks is not included.
C. Capital management
The capital of the Group consists of share capital, reserves, and retained earnings. The policy of the Group is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence while providing the ability to develop future business initiatives. This policy has not been changed during the period.

20 Commitments
A. Capital expenditure not provided for
The Group has capital commitments of $0.48 million as at 30 June 2025 (2024: nil).
B. Forward purchase commitments
Non-Derivative Financial Instruments Accounting Policies
(i) Non-derivative financial assets
Non-derivative financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, GO-STOCK receivables and investments in equity and debt securities.
The Group initially recognises financial assets on the date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, although trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated.
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value. If the financial asset is not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss, the initial investment includes transaction costs that are directly attributable to the asset's acquisition or origination. The Group subsequently measures financial assets at either fair value or amortised cost.
The Group as part of its ordinary course of business enters into forward purchase agreements with wool and velvet growers. These commitments extend for periods of up to 2 years and are at varying stages of execution. There remains uncertainty associated with yield, quality and market price. Therefore, the Group is unable to sufficiently quantify the value of these commitments.
C. Forward sales commitments
The Group as part of its ordinary course of business enters into forward sales agreements with wool and velvet customers. These commitments extend for periods of up to 2 years and are at varying stages of execution. There remains uncertainty associated with yield, quality and market price. Therefore, the Group is unable to sufficiently quantify the value of these commitments.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method and net of any impairment loss, if:
- the asset is held within a business model with an objective to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
21 Contingent Liabilities
- the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Financial assets measured at fair value
Financial assets other than those classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at fair value with all changes recognised in the profit or loss.
However, for investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, the Group may elect at initial recognition to present gains and losses through other comprehensive income. For instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income gains and losses are never reclassified to profit or loss and no impairments are recognised in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits held at call with banks. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents.
Trade and other receivables and GO-STOCK receivables
A. PGG Wrightson Loyalty Reward Programme
The Group recognises a provision for the expected level of points redemption from the PGG Wrightson Max Rewards loyalty reward programme. At the reporting date, the balance of live points which does not form part of the recognised provision total $0.10 million (2024: $0.08 million). Losses are not expected to arise from this contingent liability. Revenue in respect of the loyalty reward programme is deferred until such time as the reward is claimed by the customer.
B. Contingent liabilities
The Group receives client claims as part of the ordinary course of business in the supply of goods and services. The Group will pursue recovery of claims with suppliers where appropriate under terms of trade. Accordingly, the amount of any potential obligation in respect of these claims cannot be estimated with sufficient reliability.
Trade and other receivables and GO-STOCK receivables are stated at their amortised cost less impairment losses.
(ii) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are classified as other financial liabilities and are initially recognised at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method after initial recognition.
(iii) Determination of fair values for non-derivative financial instruments
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.
22 Seasonality of Operations
The Group is subject to significant seasonal fluctuations. The Group's earnings are weighted towards the first half of the financial year and are primarily related to the Retail business, as demand for New Zealand farming inputs are generally weighted towards the spring season. The second half earnings predominantly relate to Livestock trading as farmers seek to maximise their income following New Zealand's spring calving and lambing season. Other business units have similar but less material seasonal fluctuations. The Group recognises that this seasonality is the nature of the industry and plans and manages its business accordingly.

Dividend
On 11 August 2025, the Directors of PGG Wrightson Limited resolved to pay a final dividend of 4 cents per share on 3 October 2025 to shareholders on the Company's share register as at 5.00pm on 11 September 2025. This dividend will be fully imputed.
Acquisition of Nexan Corporation Limited and associated entities
On 7 July 2025 the Group announced the acquisition of Nexan Corporation Limited and its associated entities (Nexan), a leading New Zealand animal health manufacturer that develops and markets a range of products for livestock. Nexan’s offering as an innovator aligns well with PGW’s strategic objective of being the leader in bringing technical knowhow and expertise to the market to benefit New Zealand farmers and growers. The transaction completed on 31 July 2025.
The transaction resulted in the Group acquiring all of the shares and voting interests in Nexan Corporation Limited (Nexan) and its associated entities for a purchase price of $19.91 million.
The Group is yet to complete its review of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, and provisional values have been disclosed below. In accordance with NZ IFRS 3 Business Combinations these provisional amounts may be retrospectively adjusted, for a period of up to 12 months from the date of acquisition, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.
Prior to the acquisition, the Group had a pre-existing supply relationship with Nexan supplying products to the Group. At the date of acquisition, the Group had a trade payable balance of $1.96 million owing to Nexan. Upon acquisition, this supplier relationship has ceased. The consideration paid to the vendor has accordingly been reduced by $1.96 million in respect of the settlement of the outstanding amount of the supplier relationship.
Due to the short time period between the acquisition date and the date of authorisation of the financial statements, the earnings contributed by the acquiree during this period have not been disclosed, as they are not considered material to the users of the financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2025
26 Basis of Preparation
A. Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ("NZ GAAP"). They comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ("NZ IFRS") and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate for a Tier 1 for-profit entity. These consolidated financial statements have also been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
B. Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:
- Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
C. Functional and presentation currency
These consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the functional currency of each of the Group entities. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2025
27 Other Material Accounting Policies
The accounting policies set out in these consolidated financial statements have been applied consistently to all reporting periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.
A. Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
B. Foreign currency
D. Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, Management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised prospectively.
Information about critical judgements made in applying accounting policies, assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is included in the following notes:
Note
11 Carrying value of trade and other receivables
12 Carrying value of GO-STOCK receivables
13 Carrying value of inventories
18 Measurement of defined benefit asset/(liability) – key actuarial assumptions
E. Comparative information
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current reporting period’s presentation.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising are recognised in profit or loss.
C. Disclosure of non-GAAP financial information
Non-GAAP reporting measures have been presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss or referenced to in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The following non-GAAP measures are relevant to the understanding of the Group's financial performance:
-
Operating EBITDA represents earnings before net interest expense, foreign exchange items, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, the results from discontinued operations, impairments and fair value adjustments and non-operating items.
-
EBIT represents earnings before net interest expense, foreign exchange items, income tax expense and the results from discontinued operations.
The Directors and Management believe the Operating EBITDA and EBIT measures provide useful information as they provide valuable insight on the underlying performance of the business. They are used internally to evaluate the underlying performance of the business and to analyse trends.
These measures are not uniformly defined or utilised by all companies. Accordingly, these measures may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation nor considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS.
D. Standards issued but not yet effective
The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but have not yet commenced to apply, up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when they become effective.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In May 2024, the XRB issued NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements to improve reporting of financial performance. NZ IFRS 18 replaces NZ IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements . It carries forward many requirements from NZ IAS 1 unchanged and introduces increased disclosure of management defined performance measures as well as new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. NZ IFRS 18 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted for accounting periods that end after 20 June 2024 and must be disclosed. NZ IFRS 18 will apply retrospectively. The Group is currently working to identify all impacts the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements.

Information other than the financial statements and auditor’s report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the annual report, which includes information other than the consolidated financial statements and auditor’s report which is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and, if uncorrected, to take appropriate action to bring the matter to the attention of users for whom our auditor’s report was prepared.
Directors’ responsibilities for the financial statements

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entity the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 3.5 the Health, Safety & Environment Committee operates under a written Charter and the Committee is comprised of the full Board. In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 4.2 the Charter is available on PGG Wrightson’s website at www.pggwrightson. co.nz under Our Company > Sustainability. The Health, Safety & Environment Committee during the financial year was chaired by Dr Charlotte Severne. The Health, Safety & Environment Committee met six times during the financial year as part of a full Board meeting. Employees attend Committee meetings at the invitation of the Committee as is considered appropriate.
The main responsibilities of the Health, Safety and Environment Committee are:
-
To assist the Board to provide leadership and policy in consistently discharging their responsibilities in the governance of Health, Safety and safety related environmental considerations at PGW.
-
To define the activities, processes, and supporting structures that the Board will adopt to meet its responsibilities in relation to health, safety and environmental matters (as they relate to safety e.g., hazardous substances) arising out of the activities of PGW.
The HSE Committee’s approach to managing health, safety and safety related environmental risks is to be based on a continuous improvement methodology to achieve increasing maturity in our health and safety culture and embed strong environmental management across PGW. The management of these risks includes a preventative management approach as well as a compliance focus to ensure all obligations are being met.
In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 3.5, the Board has considered but does not think it is currently necessary to have any other Board committees as standing Board committees. Other committees are formed as and when required.
- 3.6 In relation to NZX Code Recommendation 3.6, if and when necessary, the Board will establish appropriate protocols that set out the procedure to be followed if there is a 'control transaction’ for the issuer including the procedure for any communication between the issuer’s board and management and the bidder. The protocols will disclose the scope of independent advisory reports to shareholders, the option of establishing an independent control transaction committee, and the likely composition and implementation of an independent control transaction committee. The Board does not consider it necessary to establish such protocols in advance as standing protocols but will do so if the need arises.
PRINCIPLE 5 - Remuneration
“The remuneration of Directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.”
- 5.1 The Board is committed to the policy that remuneration of Directors and Officers/Executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable. The Board’s Remuneration Policy for Directors is that Directors’ fees in aggregate must be formally approved by shareholders. The total fee pool available for Directors is $875,000 approved by shareholders at the 21 October 2005 Annual Meeting. There are no retirement or ‘special exertion’ benefits paid or available for Directors. In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 5.1, the remuneration report section in the 2025 Annual Report lists the Company’s Directors’ actual remuneration including any Board Committee fees paid. There are no performance incentives for any Directors. The Board has not elected to create a performance-based Equity Security Compensation Plan. Further the Board supports Directors investing in shares in the Company but this is a personal decision for Directors.
The Board considers that it partially complies with NZX Code Recommendation 5.2, being that PGG Wrightson’s policy for remuneration of Officers outlines the relative weightings of remuneration components and relevant performance criteria. Directors’ remuneration does not have performance criteria attached to it. All Executive Officer remuneration incentives align with financial and non-financial performance measures relating to PGG Wrightson’s objectives and are compatible with PGG Wrightson’s risk management policies and systems.
- 5.2
In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 5.3, the remuneration arrangements in place for the Chief Executive Officer during the year ended 30 June 2025 including disclosure of the base salary, short-term incentive and the performance criteria used to determine performance-based payments, are outlined in the remuneration report section in the 2025 Annual Report.
- 5.3
PRINCIPLE 6 – Risk Management
PRINCIPLE 4 – Reporting and Disclosure
“The Board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.”
- 4.1 The Board endorses the principle that it should demand integrity both in financial and non-financial reporting and in the provision by management of information of sufficient content, balance, quality and timeliness to enable the Board to effectively discharge its disclosure duties.
4.3 Regarding NZX Code Recommendation 4.3, PGG Wrightson considers that its financial reporting is balanced, clear and objective. The Board receives assurances from the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that the Directors’ declaration provided in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and NZ IFRS is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control, and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.
In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 4.1, the Board has adopted a Continuous Disclosure Policy which is available on PGG Wrightson’s website at www.pggwrightson.co.nz under Our Company > Sustainability. The Company will provide timely and adequate disclosure of information on matters of material impact to shareholders and comply with the continuous disclosure and other listing requirements of the NZX relating to shareholder reporting. PGG Wrightson has established and will maintain processes for the provision of information to the Board by management of sufficient content, quality and timeliness, as the Board considers necessary to enable the Board to effectively discharge its duties.
4.4 PGG Wrightson considers that its non-financial reporting is informative, contains forward-looking assessment, and aligns with key strategies and metrics monitored by the Board. In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 4.4, nonfinancial disclosures are included in the Annual Report and the Sustainability Report, including material environmental, economic and social sustainability factors and practices, climaterelated disclosures, key risks, risk management and relevant internal controls. The Company also communicates through releases to the NZX and media, and on its website at www. pggwrightson.co.nz under Investor Centre.
-
4.2 In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 4.2, PGG Wrightson’s Code of Conduct, Board and Committee Charters, Diversity and Inclusion Policy and other key governance policies are available to view on PGG Wrightson’s website at www. pggwrightson.co.nz under Our Company > Sustainability.
-
4.5 PGG Wrightson does not make political donations as a matter of policy.
“Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The Board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.”
-
Risks should be proactively identified and managed by all PGW employees as part of their day-to-day activities. Staff should apply the appropriate controls and monitor them regularly, in a manner that is also aligned with PGW Values; and
-
6.1 In compliance with NZX Code Recommendation 6.1, PGG Wrightson has in place a risk management policy and framework for its business to manage existing risks and to report the material risks facing the business and how these are being managed.
-
Effective and timely risk reporting, communication, and escalation are critical to support good decision making. Minimum reporting requirements have been defined for Strategic and Business Unit level risks.
PGG Wrightson has in place a Risk Policy and associated framework for its business. The policy and framework allow the business to identify and assess new risks, manage existing risks and regularly report the material risks to the Board. It is the responsibility of the Board to monitor the effectiveness of the broad risk management processes in place.
Key aspects of how risks are managed, as described in the Risk Policy, include:
-
A commitment to applying effective risk management for all PGW’s business operations. This includes the integration of risk management into PGW’s strategy, procedures, projects, and decision making;
-
That risks and controls are owned, managed, and monitored by the business unit in which they exist, and/or by a member of the Executive Team for material and strategic risks;

The charter requires members to be appointed by the Board of Directors from amongst the Non-executive Directors of PGG Wrightson Limited. All current Directors are Non-executive Directors.

FY25 Remuneration
PGG Wrightson provided a budget for salary increases in FY25 which was aligned to both the private sector market movements over the previous 12 months, future predicted movements of the market, and what remains affordable to the Company to ensure it can support shareholder value and reflect business performance.
Chief Executive Officer Remuneration
In compliance with the NZX Code Recommendation 5.3, this section lists disclosure of the remuneration arrangements in place for PGG Wrightson’s Chief Executive Officer Stephen Guerin. The Board of Directors’ general policy for Chief Executive remuneration is payment of a base salary and an annual at-risk short-term incentive. The short-term incentive has a threshold EBITDA target which must be met for the scheme to open. The target amount of the short-term incentive payment is a percentage of base salary, being 20% for the financial year, with the maximum payable being 150% of the target amount. The short-term incentive is payable on the achievement of certain key performance criteria focused on PGG Wrightson’s financial performance (meeting of EBITDA and Cashflow targets), delivery of strategic objectives and Safety and Wellbeing performance for the respective financial year.
In FY25, PGG Wrightson met 105% of the threshold EBITDA target for the short-term incentive scheme, which opened at 112.5% of opportunity.
PGG Wrightson has not paid any Chief Executive Officer severance benefits (‘golden parachutes’ or ‘handshakes’) within FY25 and PGG Wrightson has no contractual obligation to pay these under existing arrangements.
During FY25 the salary of the Chief Executive Officer was reviewed by the Remuneration, Appointments and Nominations Committee to reflect the movement of the private sector market specific to the Chief Executive Officer role, and the performance of the incumbent, and an increase of 7.43% was supported.
As at 30 June 2025 the total number of PGG Wrightson shares owned by the Chief Executive Officer was 3,842.
