How is Boral Australia tracking in 2H FY2019?
•
EXTERNAL DRIVERS
Shifting segment focus from residential to infrastructure: slowdown impacting in SEQ; NSW residential
softening; Vic infrastructure strengthening; WA & SA slow
Infrastructure projects delayed in 1H now largely on track, some other delays experienced (Vic, WA, Qld)
Overall, concrete volumes continue to be softer relative to prior year
No unusually adverse weather impacts experienced so far in 2H
2H FY2019 PRIORITIES
Organisational Effectiveness (OE) review to lower overheads and rightsizing to align resources & demand
OE delivering modest savings in 4QFY19 via ~150 fewer positions by 30 June 2019, and -$20 million benefit in FY2020
Plus ongoing rightsizing of operations, with particular focus on WA and SEQ in FY2019
Reducing costs through Operational Excellence programs including Supply Chain Optimisation
Organisational restructure providing development opportunities and refocusing priorities
2H broadly in range of our expectations including property on track to deliver around $30 million in
FY2019, as guided; as always we need a strong June to finish the year
