Trading results - Six months
ended 31 December 2012
Ports of Auckland
today issued its trading results for the six months ended 31
December 2012.
KEY POINTS
•
Total container volumes for the six-month period were down
8.9% to 413,884 TEU, from 454,234 TEU in the same period
last year. Full import containers were 5.4% lower and full
exports 9.2% lower than the same period last year.
•
Breakbulk (non-containerised, including vehicles) cargo
volumes were up 6.5% to 2.02 million tonnes compared to the
same period last year. Vehicle volumes were up 1.0%.
•
Port operating costs excluding depreciation decreased by
$1.1m (1.9%).
• Unaudited net profit after tax
(NPAT) of $15.5m compared to $18.6m in 2011, a decrease of
16.6%.
• Port Operations revenue was down 5.8%
to $90.1m for the six months. The revenue decline is due to
reduced container volumes, and also from the absence of
one-off gains in the previous year for
Rugby World Cup and Rena salvage operations.
