Wingara AG (ASX.WNR) – A diversified platform

==> picture [100 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [117 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [121 x 117] intentionally omitted <==

Sustainable fodder output in second half FY 2020 With the completion of WNR’s fodder accumulation program in Q4 FY20, export volumes rose steadily to just over 14,000 MT for the quarter. The output level in Q4 is sustainable based on current inventory and is about 55% of JC Tanloden’s production capacity. JC Tanloden achieved Q3 revenue of $5.2m and Q4 revenue of $7.5m. WNR continues to see strong demand for its fodder product and JC Tanloden’s operations will underpin the Group’s EBITDA performance in FY 2021.

Solid financial position

WNR has a solid capital structure following the sale and leaseback of Austco Polar’s Laverton property. The realised asset value gain allowed reallocation of capital to fodder accumulation which helped generate higher cashflow from JC Tanloden’s operations.

Resilience to global uncertainty

There has been relatively low impact to the business despite recent domestic and global economic turbulence. WNR’s multi-product, multi-region business philosophy and diversified investment strategy provides a level of resilience to the impacts of the recent Australian drought, bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.

FY 2020 - Highlights

WNR focused on restructuring Austco Polar’s business in the first half of FY 2020 and delivered substantial asset value gain through the sale and lease back transaction. The company then concentrated on fodder accumulation and export in the second half, with JC Tanldoen reaching its highest quarterly output in Q4 FY20.

Increase in Export Hay Volumes Driving Revenue Growth

  • In FY 2020 export sales formed a far greater share of total volumes than domestic sales, resulting in higher average prices and greater margins for the JC Tanloden business

  • The proceeds of the Austco Polar Cold Storage property sale and leaseback allowed for greater hay purchases in the second half of the financial year, increasing export volumes and revenue

  • Volumes were down overall for the full year due to Raywood processing machine ramp-up during the first half (with Epsom running at lower capacity while the business focused on the Raywood ramp-up)

  • WNR is expecting to sell 60,000 tonnes of exported hay in FY 2021

Stronger Balance Sheet

  • The sale & leaseback of the Austco Polar property resulted in a strategic deleveraging of WNR’s balance sheet while adding Austco Polar’s operating business to WNR at less than 2 times EBITDA valuation

  • Property sale proceeds of $21 million not only captured substantial value gain (over 30% of purchased asset value) and also allows WNR’s control of a strategic service business

  • Release of capital allowed for increase fodder purchase and greater export volumes, especially between November 2019 and March 2020, driving a group revenue increase of 33% in the second half

WNR’s Markets

JC Tanloden and Austco Polar form key parts of the Australian agriculture industry’s supply chain and export capabilities for protein and fodder products – both which have grown significantly over the past 5 years

Australian Protein Exports

  • Export markets for proteins & fodder : $13 billion annually (from $9 billion 5 years ago)

  • Oaten hay demand from China: 1.5 – 2 million MT per annum (accelerating in the past 5 years and cannot be met in Australia alone)

  • Australia brand strength have increased share of production for fodder: Product traceability, quality and lack of contamination underpin the favourable reputation of Australian agricultural exports leading to major export expansion.

  • Oaten hay is a desirable export product: Australian producers primarily export oaten hay, which improves milk production. Oaten hay has high demand worldwide as a reliable, high quality fodder that meets stringent animal production requirements.

JC Tanloden – Revenue Analysis

  • JC Tanloden’s revenue growth in the second half of FY 2020 was primarily driven by a significant increase in higher export volumes

  • Sufficient hay purchases in the second half of FY 2020 partially funded by the Austco property capital release allowed for the expansion in export volumes from November 2019 to March 2020, resulting in a corresponding increase in revenue per tonne for JC Tanloden

  • An inventory build-up in late CY 2019 meant that purchases were made at elevated raw material prices, however the increase in export volumes in late 2019 allowed WNR to recover a portion of the higher hay costs through higher pricing

JC Tanloden – Margin Analysis

  • Gross margins were negatively impacted in the first half of the financial year as WNR was unable to increase output volume to compensate for higher hay purchase prices

  • In 2H FY20 WNR was able to recover some of this cost by averaging deliveries to key clients due to limited fodder product available for export

  • A pricing analysis for JC Tanloden’s hay purchases and sales has been undertaken for the last three years based on reported total sales volumes, annual hay & fodder purchasing cost and JC Tanloden segment revenue

Austco Polar – Blast Carton Volumes

  • Following record volumes in Q3 FY20 (following investment in blast freezing capacity), volumes were significantly lower in Q4 FY20

  • 517,510 cartons in Q4 FY20 still equated to the third best quarter under WNR’s ownership and only 8% lower than Q4 FY19

  • Throughput volume is expected to remain subdued until Spring (Q3 FY21)

  • We would expect disruptions to our clients given the latest international trade disputes

WNR’s Growth Strategy

Wingara is well positioned to capitalise on expected increased customer demand over the next five years

01 Continue to expand JC Tanloden

  • Combined throughput capacity of up to 250,000 MT per annum across Epsom, Raywood and Horsham once Horsham is built (currently 110,000 MT)

  • Storage capacity in excess of 80,000 MT (currently 30,000 MT )

  • Strengthen market share in key export destinations, expand into new export markets as opportunities arise

==> picture [146 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

02

Improve Austco operations

03

  • Blast freezing and logistic throughput to 70,000t per annum (~10,300 cartons per day) with accreditation for export to EU, US, China, Japan and is Halal certified (currently 60,000t per annum, ~8,900 cartons per day)

  • Build on strong relationships with key long term customers (15+ year relationships in many instances) to increase volumes and earnings

  • Innovation and cost management to drive efficiencies (labour, energy use, systems and processes)

  • Leverage strong logistics, trading and exporting capabilities and expand product range

Diversify product range

04

Strategic acquisitions

  • Infrastructure is already in place to facilitate pulse, grain and red products based on demand

  • We will continue to assess strategic acquisition opportunities complimentary to WNR’s current capabilities with a focus on protein supply chain opportunities

  • While there are many new opportunities that have come to light in recent times, WNR will carefully assess and exercise financial discipline

COVID-19

  • The impact of COVID-19 has been limited for WNR, with some small impacts affecting the final quarter in FY 2020

  • The most significant impact on the business was through the slowdown at ports, reduction in scheduled services by shipping lines and impact to our export clients at Austco Polar

  • Trading activity at JC Tanloden has been largely unaffected by COVID-19, with the record export fodder volumes achieved in the final quarter of FY 2020

  • Hay volumes following 31 March 2020 suggest that 60,000 MT can be achieved in FY 2021, albeit we are early in the new financial year

  • The Austco business saw a slow down in blast freezing, storage and export load out in the final quarter of FY 2020, following record volumes in Q3

  • Despite the challenges faced by various sectors in the economy, WNR has implemented the necessary risk management procedures to minimise disruption to the Group

==> picture [366 x 275] intentionally omitted <==

  • Trading activities are largely expected to continue as normal, absent any unanticipated external shocks

FY21 Outlook

Despite the current global economic environment, we see continued growth in fodder markets with demand from key export customers growing. We also expect volumes at Austco to grow along with an increase in earnings

Strategic Focus Areas

Commentary

==> picture [138 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

  • Sustained throughput of ~15,000 MT per quarter

  • IT projects for traceability and

  • enhance provenance on the back of blockchain technology

  • Continuous training and development of a skilled work force

  • Expected harvest volumes to be reasonable at this stage subject to winter rainfall

  • Demand from key markets remains strong from fresh dairy growth in Asia, not withstanding global economic environment and trade tensions

  • Planning for additional processing and storage capacity to be completed at Raywood in Phase 2 expansion, including an additional 2 sheds for 20k t fodder storage / accumulation program

==> picture [65 x 91] intentionally omitted <==

  • Optimise benefits of recent capital expenditure

  • Improve energy efficiency with continued solar deployment

  • Convert storage space to blast freezing if necessary

  • Achieve greater operational efficiencies

  • Throughout volume is expected to remain subdued until spring (Q3 FY21)

  • International demand for red meat is expected to drive strong demand for blast freezing and storage after the Australian winter

  • Wingara has continued on its top line growth trajectory in FY 2020, with operating revenue increasing by 20% driven by the significant increase in JC Tanloden revenue

  • Margins were steady in 2H FY20, but were impacted by high labour expenses ($800K in Q3 FY20) at Austco Polar as contract labour had to be brought in to support unseasonal volume increases at the end of calendar 2019

  • One-off transaction costs primarily relate to the staff restructuring costs, sale of the Austco property; continuous technology / IT development, engineering consultancy and inventory management system for the Group to support its growth ambitions as it continues to build a sustainable platform for processing and marketing agricultural products
