Outlook FY17

New Zealand• Strong macro-economic conditions expected to continue to benefit FY17 and

provide opportunities to expand Building Products and Distribution operating margins

• Elevated levels of residential, commercial and infrastructure construction are likely to be sustained in the medium term

Australia• NSW still looking positive but WA downturn has been tough to digest• Standalone housing proved resilient to date, multi-dwellings showing signs of

peaking but some segments of civil infrastructure look more positive• Underlying earnings of Tradelink, Stramit and Tasman Sinkware to improve

Rest of World• Asia: showing signs of improving volumes but remain competitive• North America: impact of new presidential administration uncertain to date• Europe: mixed outlook with growth in UK offset by weaker Continental Europe• Further improvement to come from Formica businesses
