FY 2022 Earnings Guidance Update
The Board of Directors of T&G Global Ltd advises that Group Profit for the 2022 financial year, according to statutory accounts, is now forecast to be a loss before income tax of between ($1.0) to ($5.0) million, compared with the 2021 result of $9.8 million profit before income tax (2021 profit after income tax $13.6 million).
This updated outlook is largely the result of two key factors:
• Apples quality. There has been a rapid deterioration in the quality of T&G’s premium New Zealand Envy™ apples, particularly those apples exposed to the unusually heavy rains during the 2022 harvest. This, combined with the late arrival of fruit into markets as a result of global supply chain disruptions, has unfortunately resulted in crop quality issues, with fruit rapidly deteriorating and consumers having an inconsistent eating experience. As a result, inventories are higher at this stage of the year than normal, resulting in provisioning for fruit losses as the fruit ages.
• Northern Hemisphere trading. T&G’s northern hemisphere operations, particularly in Europe and the United Kingdom, have reduced their forecasts due to worsening economic conditions in their respective markets.
This forecast also includes the impact of a number of projected one-off items, including property disposal and the costs of exiting the Company’s Peru grape farming operation.
