Chairman’s Address

  • Thank you for your patience and sorry we could not hold this meeting in person. It is our expectation that all venues will be open and trading from December 1 so we look forward to seeing you all soon.

  • The Group performed well and the Hipgroup acquisition exceeded our expectations providing a significant profitability and cash flow, we as a Board are very happy to say:

  • In the first four months from the acquisition the Group built cash in excess of $2m.

  • Prior to Covid cash from operations was on average $500,000 per month, peaking in May at $800,000.

  • EBITDA for the half year was over $2m with 6 weeks of covid impact, as such would have been materially higher but for the lock down.

  • This underscores the support of our venues and the strength of our brands when we are trading normally again.

  • Following this extraordinary winter run rate it was the Boards expectation to deliver an EBITDA for the full year of circa $7m.

  • While this will not be achievable now it provides us with great confidence that the Group will bounce back and deliver strong financial results in the future.

COVID-19

  • Savor pivoted to an E-Commerce platform which delivered top line revenue of over $130,000 per week.

  • With stringent capital and cost discipline Savor’s cash burn was on average was $88,000 per week (excluding bank charges) over the lock down to date, with Savor’s cash reserves and balance sheet strength the Group was well placed to navigate this prolonged lockdown and any long tail effects we may encounter.

  • More than 65% of this cash burn is directly attributable landlord costs as a result of our largest landlord only providing a 25% discount when the Group was operating below 10% of normal trading levels.

  • The opportunity cost of this lockdown has been significant with an expected $3m of lost EBITDA.

  • Savor expects to be profitable under the red traffic light setting and crucially will be getting our 408 employees back to work.

  • Given the lack of clarity we are unable to provide earning guidance currently.

Strategic Priorities

Priority 1

Successful execution of business as usual:

  • Get open, get our staff engaged and get trading.

Priority 2 Strong Capital Management and Cost Mitigation:

  • With the dual headwinds of wage inflation and input costs rising the executive team is focused on the optimisation of the core business.

Priority 3

Growth:

  • Savor is actively pursuing both organic and inorganic growth.

  • The current business environment is providing significant opportunities to capitalise on this ambition.

  • – Vastly exceeded expectations.

==> picture [123 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

13

June

  • Acquisition of distribution centre in Kumeu.

  • – Savor now has much more vertical integration with the ability to buy direct, buy local and quality control.

  • – This site also has its own butchery, gelato making and dry goods storage.

  • – We’re seeing considerable savings in our direct purchasing of fruit and vegetables.

  • – The integration of operations has slowed due to the Covid lockdown but we expect to see the synergies come through in the first quarter of 2022.

==> picture [123 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

14

July

  • Purchase of OJI Sushi.

  • – OJI is an affordable casual Grab & Go sushi offering that leverages off our Japanese credentials.

  • The addition of OJI into Savor allows for a potential low cost national roll out with lower labour and build costs to that of our restaurants.

  • We have expanded OJI into a new location of Britomart and expanded its range to include a premium Ebisu offering.

  • – The roll out of OJI will also include schools and we are in advanced discussions with several and also concessions within convenience chains.

15

August

  • We continued our organic growth with the establishment of Bar Non Solo.

  • An expansion of the iconic NSP establishment in Parnell and has brought a high energy and sophisticated bar into Auckland’s premier dinning district of Britomart.

  • I believe we have successfully captured the essence of NSP and condensed it into a bar form with a great cocktail list and a selection of small plates and NSP’s classic pizzas. Unfortunately the forced lockdown a week after opening lead to the cancellation of 100’s of bookings but the demand gives us confidence of a quick bounce back in December.

September

  • We launched a new website and e-commerce platform.

  • The website brings together all the restaurants and into one booking platform and the e-commerce function.

  • We were extremely happy with the results especially given the conditions we had to operate in.

  • – Since launch of the site during Level 4 and the subsequent 11 weeks to date. – Peaked at $160k a week for sales

  • – Averaged $130k per week in sales

  • – Total Sales of $1.1m with over

  • 9,000 customers served
