Iwi / AFL co-investment has the potential to raise the overall value of Maori investment in the sector • Sector returns are strongly scale based and are captured by players closest to the end consumer • Iwi direct investment is concentrated in quota • AFL has investment plans in place but is capital constrained • Targeted co-investment should advantage all shareholders while advancing individual Iwi investment • Investment in new processing capacity illustrates the range of potential co-investment opportunities • AFL intends to bring opportunities to Iwi which will add value to all parties
Sector returns are strongly scale based and are captured by players closest to the end consumer • The seafood industry has a long value chain, with many participants located outside New Zealand • Greater margins are made by the participants closest to the consumer • Consolidation is occurring across the value chain as players try to acquire scale and competitive advantage • Iwi co-investment with AFL should either increase the scale of investment or move Iwi involvement further down the value chain • Iwi can contribute capital, quota, and other resources as co-investment with AFL
Consolidation has occurred in recent years Number of Quota Holders 2005 – 2008(1) Number of Fishing Organisations 2000 – 2008(1) Number of Processing Organisations 2000 – 2008(1) Number of Wholesalers 2000 – 2008(1) 93 Species in QMS Average Number of Employees 4 Average Number of Employees 47 Average Number of Employees 4 Average Number of Employees 59 96 Species in QMS Note: Source (1) Statistics New Zealand, Ministry of Fisheries 6
Iwi direct investment is concentrated in quota Maori Involvement in the Seafood Value Chain Fishers Processor / Marketer Distributor / Importer Quota Owner Characteristics • Very few Iwi are directly involved in fishing their quota • Some Iwi have joint ventures with non-Maori fishing companies • 14 Iwi lease ACE to AFL under long term arrangements • As with fishing very few Iwi have direct involvement other than in joint ventures with non-Maori fishing companies • Very few Iwi export or distribute in their own right • A number of Iwi have joint venture arrangements with exporters • Ngai Tahu, Ngati Porou and Ngati Wai have interests in retail operations • All Iwi have settlement quota • Some Iwi have acquired additional quota 7
AFL has investment plans in place but is capital constrained • Processing capacity upgrade and replacement • Market and operational consolidation opportunities • New product and technology investment • Quota investment • Investment capacity constrained by balance sheet • Co-investment with Iwi can potentially allow AFL to proceed with investment initiatives while also advancing Iwi investment in the sector
Targeted co-investment should advantage all shareholders while advancing individual Iwi investment • Seeking Iwi investment on a project basis allows targeting of investment opportunities to the needs of individual Iwi • A project by project investment strategy should be guided by overriding principles: • No shareholder should be disadvantaged • To satisfy this requirement Iwi should be able to add something to the investment beyond cash • The investment, return and risk must be able to be separately measured • Complexity must be minimised • The investment must be consistent with AFL’s strategic aims 9
Targeted co-investment should advantage all shareholders while advancing individual Iwi investment • A number of AFL investment projects are compatible with these principles and support Iwi co-investment • There are a range of investment vehicles which can be used to facilitate co-investment • Taxation, quota aggregation, and competition law will have a large influence • AFL is currently progressing a number of investment opportunities e.g.: • Quota Investment Company with Multi Year ACE partners • Processing and marketing of Ngai Tahu abalone through PFL 10
