Non-GAAP financial information

Steel and Tube uses several non-GAAP measures when discussing financial performance. These include normalised

EBIT and normalised NPAT. Management believes that these measures provide useful information on the underlying

performance of Steel & Tube’s business. They may be used internally to evaluate performance, analyse trends and

allocate resources. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation nor considered as a substitute for

measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP measures are

issued on 23 May 2018, which forecast normalised EBIT of $16m. Subsequent to this announcement, the

amortisation start date for the new ERP system was amended. This reduced amortisation expenditure by $1.1m in

comparison to that included in the May 2018 forecast. Further details on the unusual transactions/non-trading

adjustments are included in the investor presentation and audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June

2018.
