Important Information

This presentation has been prepared by Fletcher Building Limited and its group of companies ("Fletcher Building") for informational purposes. This disclaimer applies to this document and the verbal or written comments of any person presenting it.

This presentation provides additional comment on the Annual Financial Results 2020 dated 19 August 2020. As such, it should be read in conjunction with and subject to the explanations and views given in that document. Unless otherwise specified, all information is for the year ended 30 June 2020.

In certain sections of this presentation, Fletcher Building has chosen to present certain financial information exclusive of the impact of significant items and/or the results of the businesses divested in the year ended 30 June 2019. For the 12 months ended 30 June 2020, the Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the new lease accounting standard NZ IFRS 16, adopted from 1 July 2019. In prior periods, lease costs were fully reported in EBIT. Under NZ IFRS 16, the two components of lease costs are reported separately: (1) the depreciation of right-of-use assets is reported in EBIT and (2) the deemed interest portion of the lease liability is reported in lease interest expense. Financial tables in this presentation (where indicated) show both the reported result for the prior period, as well as a pro forma restatement of the prior period to illustrate the impact of NZ IFRS 16 had it been applied and to allow for a like-for- like comparison. A number of non-GAAP financial measures are used in this presentation which are used by management to assess the performance of the business and have been derived from Fletcher Building's financial statements for the 12 months ended 30 June 2020. You should not consider any of these statements in isolation from, or as a substitute for the information provided in the Financial Statements for the 12 months ended 30 June 2020, which are available at www.fletcherbuilding.com.

The information in this presentation has been prepared by Fletcher Building with due care and attention, however, neither Fletcher Building nor any of its directors, employees, shareholders nor any other person given any representations or warranties (either express or implied) as to the accuracy or completeness of the information and to the maximum extent permitted by law, no such person shall have any liability whatsoever to any person for any loss (including, without limitation, arising from any fault or negligence) arising from this presentation or any information supplied in connection with it.

This presentation may contain forward looking statements, that is statements related to future, not past, events or other matters. Forward looking statements may include statements regarding our intent, belief or current expectations in connection with our future operating or financial performance, or market conditions. Such forward looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and assumptions and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including material adverse events, significant one-off expenses and other unforeseeable circumstances. There is no assurance that results contemplated in any of these projections and forward looking statements will be realised. Actual results may differ materially from those projected. Except as required by law, or the rules of any relevant stock exchange or listing authority, no person is under any obligation to update this presentation at any time after its release or to provide further information about Fletcher Building.

The information in this presentation does not constitute financial product, legal, financial, investment, tax or any other advice or a recommendation.

  • Good cash flow performance means leverage ratio (Net Debt / EBITDA) remains below target range of 1.0x-2.0x
  • Includes impact of construction provisions, which increased Jun-20 leverage by 0.2x
  • Expect to remain at lower end of leverage range, continued preference for conservative balance sheet metrics

Fletcher Building Full Year Results Presentation | © August 2020

1. Due to material impact of FX movements on balance sheet value of debt in recent months, the Group will use hedged

value of debt in its leverage calculation - i.e. Net Debt includes impact of CCIRS derivatives. FY19 has not been restated

as historic impact of debt hedging on leverage ratio has been relatively limited (c0.1x).

  • Revenue held well relative to market decline, increase in Steel revenue, better trading in May and June
  • Building Products: strong turnaround momentum in Laminex (new product range and digital offering) and Insulation with earnings growth achieved despite subdued market activity. This performance was offset by c$15m of losses in Rocla and Iplex as project work did not eventuate, general volumes dropped
  • Stramit and Tradelink both had poor 2H20 as larger project volumes dropped significantly
  • Trading cash flow supported from improved inventory management and debtor collections but impacted by restructuring costs
  • Divisional costs movement mainly due to one- off pension valuation benefit of $2m received in FY19
