Report for the six months ended 31 December 2025

Setting the course

Port of Tauranga continues to invest in the critical infrastructure essential for an effective supply chain for New Zealand.

P

ort of Tauranga performed strongly in the first half of the financial year. Resilient

trade volumes, increased revenue and lower rail costs resulted in improved profits for the six month period ended 31 December 2025.

Reported Group Net Profit After Tax increased 16.6% to $70.2 million, with total trade increasing 1.2% in volume to 12.6 million tonnes for the six months.

Containers increased 2.6% in volume to 607,114 TEUs.

Our financial results

Operating revenue was $244.1 million, an 8.5% increase from the $225.0 million reported for the same period last year.

Results from operating activities increased 10.2% to $122.4 million.

Subsidiary and joint venture companies also performed well, with earnings increasing 27.3% from improved results across the board.

At MetroPort in Auckland, a redesigned business model was implemented on 1 December, with KiwiRail providing increased MetroPort rail capacity from February between Auckland and Tauranga.

Strategy implementation

Port of Tauranga continues to progress our strategy to create a more connected, resilient and efficient supply chain for New Zealand. We are investing in capacity, improving productivity and service delivery to our customers, expanding our network and increasing returns on invested capital.

Our relentless customer focus continues to drive service and productivity improvements. Our net crane rate and ship rate increased 3.5% and 12.7% respectively, compared to the same period last year, without any compromise on safety.

We have commenced the second stage of our consented capital dredging in Te Awanui Tauranga Harbour, as well as ordering a new larger hybrid tug to ensure the safe navigation of larger vessels expected in the future (see page 6).

In January, we lodged a new fast-track resource consent application for the Stella Passage project, after Parliament fixed the legislative error that delayed the original application. The Environmental Protection Authority has confirmed the application is complete and will appoint an expert panel to assess it. Further details can be found on page 7.

Chair and Chief Executive's review



Plans to introduce automated stacking cranes in association with the new berth are also

progressing. Digital simulation testing has already identified some quick efficiency wins that can

be implemented immediately.

Following the acquisition of Marsden Maritime Holdings to create the Northport Group, the search is under way for a new chief executive to lead the Group.

Northport has acquired resource consent for its expansion project, involving nearly 12 hectares of reclamation, a 250-metre wharf extension, with associated capital dredging. The timing of

construction depends on freight demand and the extension of a rail line to Marsden Point, which

is currently being progressed by the Government and KiwiRail.

Meanwhile, Ruakura Inland Port continues to grow strongly, with container volumes increasing 22% for the six month period.

Cargo trends

Export volumes decreased 1.0% to 7.9 million tonnes due to a later-than-usual start to the peak dairy export season and subdued export log demand.

Import volumes increased 5.3% to 4.7 million tonnes, supported by strong demand for agricultural products.

Log exports decreased 2.2% due to softer international demand, while direct dairy exports decreased 3.4% due to the late season start.

Oil product imports decreased almost 4.0%. Fertiliser imports increased 44.1% in volume with grain and stock feed imports also growing in volume 37.0% and 7.2%, reflecting strong dairy sector demand.

Ship visits totalled 717, an increase of 3.9% compared with the first half of last financial year.

Our people

A major project to modify the gantry access ways for our refrigerated container storage areas is almost complete. The project mitigates working at height and straddle-versus-person risk for technicians.

Our environment

Another major project is nearing completion at the Mount Maunganui wharves. A new stormwater

treatment system is being installed to capture, treat and then discharge the "first flush" of rainwater during heavy weather events. The project sits within a broader programme of environmental

improvements at the Mount wharves. While the Port is currently fully compliant with resource consent conditions, we take a continuous improvement approach to air and water quality.

Our community

The Port of Tauranga team extends heartfelt condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the landslides at Mount Maunganui and Welcome Bay in January. We are grateful to the emergency and recovery teams for their efforts. We have helped in practical ways where possible, and made a donation to the Western Bay Emergency Response Fund.

Port of Tauranga continues to progress its strategy by investing in capacity, lifting productivity, expanding our



network and increasing returns on invested capital.

The outlook for 2026

The later-than-usual start to the dairy export season, combined with a strong kiwifruit export season from March, is expected to deliver continued strong volumes in the second half of the financial year.

This may put pressure on our container terminal capacity, particularly for refrigerated cargo.

We hope to see improved results due to the new MetroPort model, pricing changes and improved operational efficiency.

Consequently, and notwithstanding any significant change to market conditions, Port of Tauranga is increasing its forecast Underlying Group Net Profit After Tax2to $142 million to $152 million.

Update

Port of Tauranga orders new hybrid tug

Port of Tauranga has signed an agreement with UZMAR Shipyards in Türkiye to build New Zealand's first hybrid tug boat.

The 32-metre hybrid advanced rotortug will be delivered to New Zealand's largest and busiest port in mid-2027. Port of Tauranga hosts more than 1,400 ship visits per year and is the only port able to handle the largest vessels to call in New Zealand.

The purchase follows a detailed design phase to address the Port's operational, environmental and safety needs.

The rotortug design will provide enhanced manoeuvrability and precision, with greater strength in emergency situations, and reduce the Port's reliance on diesel. The hybrid technology will help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

"Overall, it will be a welcome addition to our marine fleet's efficiency, capability, flexibility and sustainability as we prepare for more frequent visits from larger ships," says Port of Tauranga's Chief Executive, Leonard Sampson.

The Port of Tauranga project team, involving marine pilots, tug masters and engineers, approached seven shipyards in New Zealand and overseas, and chose UZMAR for its experience in building hybrid tugs.

An all-electric tug was considered but ruled out due to the operational profile of the Port. Alternative fuel technologies were also considered, however the development of alternative fuel technology and availability

of supply (e.g. hydrogen, methanol, ammonia or LNG) is still in the early stages for this type of vessel.

Tug boats accompany all arriving and departing vessels at Port of Tauranga. They can also

be called upon to assist commercial ships in difficulty, and the new rotortug will be equipped to provide better towing capability under a wider range of sea and wind conditions than the current tug fleet allows. The larger tug will also be able to operate in greater conditions outside the harbour entrance.

The new hybrid rotortug will replace the Port's oldest tug, Sir Robert, which is 22 metres long with 50-tonne bollard pull3. The new vessel will join the 10-year-old twin tugs Tai Pari and Tai Timu, both 24 metres and 74-tonne bollard pull. All three existing tugs are Azimuth stern

drive tractor tugs. The new tug will have at least 80-tonne bollard pull.

Some wharf strengthening and infrastructure modifications will be made to the Port's existing tug berths at Mount Maunganui.

3Bollard pull is a measure of a tug boat's static pulling power.

Update

Port of Tauranga lodges another fast-track application for Stella Passage development

Port of Tauranga has lodged a new application under the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024 for its proposed

development of Stella Passage in Te Awanui Tauranga Harbour.

The reapplication follows the passing of the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Act in December, which corrected a legislative drafting error in the Schedule 2 description of the project.

The project involves extending the Sulphur Point container berth by 385 metres (in two stages) and the Mount Maunganui wharves by 315 metres, by converting existing cargo

storage land within the port's current footprint. It also involves associated reclamation of land behind the new wharves and dredging.

At Port of Tauranga's request, the Minister for Infrastructure has determined the application meets the criteria as a priority project under the Fast-track Approvals Act, ensuring that

an expert panel will quickly be convened to consider the application. The project is of regional and national significance.

The Port's initial fast-track application was put on hold in late August by the High Court following a judicial review. Port of Tauranga has updated its application documentation following the amendments to the Fast-track Approvals Act and recent consultation with tangata whenua parties.

The Environment Court has already established that the environmental impact from the Stella Passage development will, from a Western science perspective, be minor in the short-term and negligible in the long-term. However, Port of Tauranga has been unable to reach agreement with opposing iwi and hapū parties on the appropriate level of mitigation for the cultural impacts of the development.

‌Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements‌

for the six months ended 31 December 2025

  1. Reporting entity

    Port of Tauranga Limited (the Parent Company) is a company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). It is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The Parent Company, which is designated as profit-oriented for financial reporting purposes, is an issuer in terms of the Financial Reporting Act 2013.

    The Unaudited Interim Financial Statements (the Financial Statements) for Port of Tauranga Limited comprise the Port of Tauranga Limited, its Subsidiaries, and the Group's interest in Equity Accounted Investees (together referred to as the Group).

  2. Basis of preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP) and New Zealand International Accounting Standard (NZ IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related notes included in Port of Tauranga Limited's Integrated Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025.

  3. Significant accounting policies

    The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.

  4. Accounting estimates and judgements

    The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with NZ IAS 34 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

    In preparing these financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation and uncertainty, were the same as those applied to the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.

  5. Segment information

    The Group determines and presents operating segments based on the information that is internally provided to the Chief Executive, who is the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), as defined by NZ IFRS 8 Operating Segments.

    The Group operates in three main reportable segments, being:

    • Port operations: This consists of providing and managing port services, and cargo handling facilities through the Port of Tauranga Limited and Timaru Container Terminal Limited. Port terminals and bulk operations have been aggregated together within the Port Operations segment, due to the similarities in economic characteristics, customers, nature of products and processes, and risks.

    • Property services: This consists of managing and maintaining the Port of Tauranga Limited's property assets.

    • Logistics services: This consists of the contracted terminal operations and logistics activities of QM Logistics NZ Limited (formerly known as Quality Marshalling (Mount Maunganui) Limited (QM)).

The three main business segments are managed separately as they provide different services to customers and have their own operational and marketing requirements.

The remaining activities of the Group are not allocated to individual business segments. The Group operates in one geographical area, that being New Zealand.

Due to the significant shared cost base of the Port activities, operating costs, measures of profitability, assets and liabilities are aggregated and are not reported to the CODM at a segment level, but rather at a port level, as all business decisions are made at a "whole port level".

Independent auditor's review report



Independent auditor's review report

To the shareholders of Port of Tauranga Limited

Report on interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2025

The Auditor-General is the auditor of Port of Tauranga Limited (the "Group"). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Glenn Keaney, using the staff and resources of KPMG, to carry out the review of the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group on his behalf.

Conclusion

We have completed a review of the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Group on pages 9 to 17, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended on

that date, and the notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the Company and Group's financial position as at 31 December 2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six-month period then ended and comply with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for conclusion

We conducted our review of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity ('NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)'). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General's Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing

and Assurance Standards Board.

In addition to the audit we have carried out engagements in the area of agreed upon procedures over the long-term incentive plan and climate related assurance, which are compatible with those independence requirements. Other than the audit and these engagements, we have no relationship with, or interests in, Port of Tauranga Limited or any of its subsidiaries.

Use of this independent auditor's review report

This report is made solely to the shareholders. Our review work has been undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the independent auditor's review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept

or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders for our review work, this report, or any of the conclusions we have formed.

The Directors' responsibilities for the interim consolidated financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Group, for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Directors are also responsible for the publication of the interim financial statements, whether in printed or electronic form.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the interim consolidated financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.



A review of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.
