  • CHAIRMAN's ADDRESS to the 101St ANNUAL MEETING
    CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS TO THE 101st ANNUAL MEETING Ladies and Gentlemen, Results The year to June 2019 was a successful year. The trading profit after tax was down 10.9% on the previous year but it was also the second best year on record. The financial year June 2018 was exceptional as the Company benefited from a very favourable economic environment, with strong consumer and business confidence. In the last year there was a gradual change of sentiment in the face of more uncertainty. It was not a dramatic change, but it impacted on our results. In the circumstances, the directors are very pleased with the result. The total new vehicle industry for calendar year 2019 is expected to be down on 2018. The total decline is not great and the mid-term projections are for the industry numbers to level off at the current level, not continue to decline. It comes after many years of continuous increase. Headline numbers at this time of the year are heavily influenced by the seasonal purchasing of rental cars, which are not transacted through dealerships. The extra heavy truck segment of the market is expected to be minimally up on last year. Developments This last year has been a busy one for the company, with a number of long-term projects making progress or being completed. Some projects come together quickly; others are slow. With property there can be a delay while waiting for an existing lease to expire, or for resource consents to be approved. The developments can be grouped into three headings.
