Turners Maintains Momentum with Record First Half Performance
Turners Automotive Group (NZX: TRA) has again demonstrated its ability to perform in a
challenging market, delivering a record first-half result, despite subdued consumer conditions.
The diversified and resilient business model continues to generate sustainable growth and
strong shareholder returns.
Turners has continued to make progress and grow profits in each core businesses. While the
broader economy shows tentative signs of recovery, Turners’ deliberate strategy and capital
discipline position it to drive further growth across its core divisions through FY26.
Key Financial Highlights (HY26 vs HY25):
•
Revenue: $219.0m, +5%
•
EBIT¹: $34.1m, +10%
•
NPBT: $30.4m, +13%
•
NPAT: $21.9m, +13%
•
Earnings per share (EPS): 24.2 cps, +11%
•
Interim dividend declared: 8.0 cps, fully imputed
¹EBIT adjusted for interest expense in Finance (non-IFRS measure)
Key Business Highlights:
•
Auto Retail: Significant uplift in brand marketing spend with launch of Tina2.0 brand
campaign. Drove margin growth on owned stock and improved operational efficiency
despite patchy demand. Inventory sourcing remains challenging, but margins
benefited from disciplined buying and tighter inventory management.
•
Finance: Biggest growth engine during the half, with 18% YoY profit growth. Loan book
grew 13%, supported by strong origination and improving credit quality. Net interest
margin remained stable, aided by easing funding rates.
•
Insurance: Solid growth continues. Continued premium growth (+10%), underpinned
by partnerships with NZ AA and Vero. Claims ratios stable, reflecting effective risk
pricing.
•
Servicing and Repairs: Rebranded to Turners Servicing & Repairs, leveraging strong
brand recognition. Expansion continues with new VTNZ partnerships.
•
Credit Management: Corporate debt load down and lower than expected. Consumers
finding it harder to consistently meet payment arrangements reflecting the weaker
economic environment.
For personal use only
The first half result reflects the broader dynamics of the used vehicle market, which continues
to show resilience despite significant structural change. Registered dealer numbers have fallen
to their lowest level since 2012, highlighting ongoing consolidation and pressure across the
sector. Transaction volumes have stabilised and are beginning to recover, although vehicle
supply remains constrained and sourcing stock continues to be challenging.
Against this backdrop, Turners’ scale, brand strength, and diversified business model have
again proven to be key competitive advantages, enabling the Group to expand margins in Auto
Retail, grow its Finance and Insurance portfolios, and maintain steady overall performance
during a period when more industry participants left the market.
Recognising this shifting environment, the Board and management are prioritising capital
efficiency and disciplined allocation to ensure the business remains agile and focused on the
highest-returning opportunities. The recently completed $200 million securitisation term-out
has improved funding costs and reduced capital requirements, further strengthening the
balance sheet. A deeper capital management framework is being developed across the
business, optimising finance structures, reallocating surplus capital from low-return areas, and
driving targeted growth in Auto Retail and Finance.
These initiatives, supported by a strong culture and engaged workforce with 67% of the team
participating in the employee share scheme, position Turners well to capture further upside
as market conditions improve.
Financial Performance
Group Revenue rose 5% to $219 million, with growth across Auto Retail, Finance, and
Insurance more than offsetting softness in Credit Management. EBIT increased 10% to $34.1
million, reflecting stronger divisional performance, improved vehicle margins, and continued
cost discipline. NPBT grew 13% to $30.4 million, while NPAT lifted 13% to $21.9 million.
Turners is able to deliver reliable profit growth through operational leverage and
diversification.
Cash generation was strong, and Turners continues to fund growth initiatives from internal
resources. The Board declared a fully imputed interim dividend of 8.0 cps, maintaining its
policy of paying out 60–70% of NPAT.
Chairman Grant Baker said: “Delivering record profit in a challenging economic environment
is a significant achievement. It reflects the strength of our diversified model and disciplined
execution across every part of the business. Turners continues to grow shareholder returns
while investing for the future, and our balance sheet gives us the flexibility to keep building
on this momentum. With a track record of growing dividends for more than a decade, Turners’
blend of consistent performance, prudent funding, and strong cash returns continues to
deliver enduring value for shareholders.”

Outlook for FY26
The two-speed economy is expected to persist into calendar year 2026, bringing some
uncertainty around the pace of recovery in consumer demand and the broader economic
rebuild. Despite this backdrop, Turners remains well positioned, with its diversified model and
focussed management approach providing continued stability and earnings momentum. The
Group is on track to deliver another record full-year result, with NPBT forecast around $60
million, supported by solid operational performance and further gains in capital efficiency.
Turners is focussed on predictable, sustainable returns for all shareholders. Inline with
dividend policy, $60m NPBT could result in a full year dividend of at least 32 cps (which
compares to 29 cps last year, and 20 cps five years ago).
Across the business, growth opportunities continue to build. In Auto Retail, branch expansion
and a recovering lease market are expected to lift volumes, with improving vehicle pricing
likely to support margins as the economy strengthens. Finance remains focused on growing
the loan book whilst maintaining credit quality, benefitting from lower funding costs and
improved interest margins. Insurance continues to perform well, with stable claims ratios and
incremental contribution from new distribution channels and direct digital sales. Credit
Management’s contribution is expected to remain negligible, with repayment capacity
remaining constrained. As a result, the carrying value of the business will be reviewed at year
end based on 2H performance and outlook.
Group CEO Todd Hunter commented: “Our business has performed exceptionally well through
the first half. We’ve strengthened every part of our model, from sourcing and lending quality
to capital efficiency. As the economy starts to recover, Turners is well positioned to deliver
further record years, underpinned by our brand strength, motivated team, and reliable
execution.”
Note – Management will be holding an investor day in mid-March 2026.

5. Finance receivables
Securitisation
The Group has Trusts under which it securitises finance receivables. The Trusts are special purpose entities set up solely for the purpose
of purchasing finance receivables originated by the finance sector. The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited has been
appointed Trustee and NZGT Security Trustee Limited as the security trustee for the Trusts. The Group is the sole beneficiary of the
Trusts.
The Group has power over the Trusts, exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the Trusts and the ability to use
its power over the Trusts to affect the amount of the Group's returns from the Trusts. Consequently, the Group controls the Trusts and
has consolidated the Trusts into the Group's financial statements.
The Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards relating to the finance receivables sold and therefore the finance receivables do
not qualify for derecognition and remain on the Group's consolidated statement of financial position.
Turners Marque Warehouse Trust 1 (the Trust)
The Trust has a wholesale funding facility with the Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) which is secured by finance receivables sold to the Trust.
The facility is $377m and with a 1-year term that will be renewed annually. BNZ fund up to 92% (30 September 2024 & 31 March 2025:
90%) of the purchase price of the finance receivables with the balance funded by sub-ordinated notes from the Group.
During the reporting period the Trust purchased $138.1m finance receivables from the finance sector (30 September 2024: $105.6m; 31
March 2025: $218.4m) and $23.0m loans from the Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust. As at 30 September 2025 the carrying value of
finance receivables in the Trust was $392.8m (30 September 2024: $307.4m; 31 March 2025: $332.8m).
Turners Marque ABS 2023-1 Trust (the 2023-1 Trust)
During the 2024 financial year, the Group established the 2013-1 Trust, a closed pool trust that acquired $100 million of receivables from
the Trust. The acquisition was funded through the issuance of $100 million in notes. In September 2025, the 2013-1 Trust sold all its
financial receivables back to the Trust and fully repaid the outstanding notes. Consequently, as at 30 September 2025, the carrying value
of finance receivables held by the 2013-1 Trust was $nil (30 September 2024: $52.1 million; 31 March 2025: $34.8 million).

At September 2025, the Group has a syndicated funding facility, including a working capital facility, with the Bank of New Zealand, ASB
Bank and Westpac New Zealand and a securitisation facility with the Bank of New Zealand.
The bank borrowings are secured by a first-ranking general security agreement over the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries,
excluding Autosure Insurance Limited, Turners Finance Limited and EC Credit (Aust.) Limited. The bank funded securitisation financing
arrangement is described under finance receivables.
Non-bank borrowings
The Group's non-bank securitisation arrangement with the Accident Compensation Corporation has been repaid.
