Thank you all for standing by, and welcome to the MotorCycle Holdings half year results. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. After the speaker's presentation, there'll be a question and answer session. To ask a question at that time, you'll need to press star one on your telephone. I'd now like to hand the conference over to Managing Director, David Ahmet. Thank you. Please go ahead.
Thank you. Good morning, everyone. My name is David Ahmat, and it's my pleasure to bring you MotorCycle Holdings half year results. Today, I'll explain our financial results and drill down into the operational performance of the various segments within our business. I'll touch on the highlights and explain what challenges came our way. I'd like to report on where the business is currently and what the outlook looks like for the second half. We came into the half trading well and feeling very optimistic about the future. Almost immediately, the challenges that COVID-19 brings threw a large portion of our business into lockdown. MotorCycle Holdings has 16 of its 40 dealerships in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, along with our wholesale distribution business, Cassons. Most of these dealerships were in local government hotspots and were subject to the strictest trading restrictions.
Not only were we forced to keep the doors closed, it was difficult for our staff to even travel to work. There is no doubt that our retail sales were negatively affected, especially in the western suburbs of Sydney. Our wholesale business at Eastern Creek was also in a hotspot area and struggled to maintain staff levels as the virus took hold in Sydney. However, our staff responded well, and we made the best of the difficult conditions. We adapted to the changed conditions and found our way to keep the business going. There's no doubt that the first four months of the half, our results were subdued. Lockdown-free Queensland performed well, and as a group, we achieved better results than I expected. A very strong end to the half helped claw back some of the shortfall of the earlier months.
A few of the highlights of the half were revenue for the group was up 9% to AUD 237 million. Gross profit increased 3% to AUD 66.6 million, and we maintained a gross profit margin of 28.1%. Underlying EBITDA decreased 6% to AUD 19.8 million, and net profit after tax decreased 27% to AUD 12.6 million. I wouldn't normally refer to a decrease in profit as a highlight, but when you consider that the previous year was aided by AUD 5.8 million worth of JobKeeper, and this year had no assistance, and the fact that lockdowns were much more restricting this year, I'm actually quite happy with the results. So much so that we've increased our dividend for the half to AUD 0.12 per share.
Now I'd like to explain some of the key points that led to the result. Importantly, demand remained strong across the whole business. New motorcycle unit sales were up 14% despite the lockdowns against a market increase of 21%. We worked hard to increase our used bike inventory, which resulted in a 14% increase in unit sales against a flat market. Retail accessory gross was down 10%, as they were impacted negatively by the lockdowns, especially in Western Sydney, where we have our largest accessory superstores. However, they rebounded very strongly when the lockdowns were lifted. Overall expenses increased 7% for the half, which is in line with our sales revenue. Some of that increase came about from increased marketing and development in our better e-commerce platform.
There's also an increase in cost with the acquisition of a new business in New Zealand. Cost of AUD 400,000 from the fire that we had last year, which was repaid by insurance, and an increase of rent of AUD 500,000 due to AASB 16 accounting, which, I add, was not reflected in our actual lease payments. I'll drill down a little further on these numbers. As mentioned, we had an increase in sales of 9%, but gross was only up by 3% due to a decrease in the gross margin. The decrease in margin was not due to margin degradation, but more so representative of the change in mix of sales. Our lowest margin products come from new and used bikes, which had a reasonably large increase in sales.
Parts and accessories, which retain a much larger margin, had a decrease in sales. Overall, our margins across the group remained strong and consistent with last year. Overall, the EBITDA result of AUD 19.8 million was down AUD 1.2 million on last year if we disregard the JobKeeper assistance of AUD 5.8 million received the previous year. Given the severity of the lockdowns, I was quite happy with this result. I'm comfortable with the balance sheet. We currently have AUD 10 million bank line and AUD 5 million in cash and paid AUD 4.7 million for the New Zealand wholesale business. Importantly, we've been able to improve our inventory levels, which had been depleted during COVID. Current levels are adequate to run and grow the business going forward and should only increase as we add additional new product lines.
We're comfortable with the AUD 0.12 per share dividend as it falls into our guidelines of paying out 50%-70% of profit. Over the last 12 months, we've tried hard to improve our value and return to our shareholders. Our share price has increased by 22% over 12 months, and our dividend has increased to a 6.2% fully franked yield. We intend to grow the business to assist with unlocking further value. In the five years since we listed, we have grown the business every year and currently turnover twice what we did five years ago. This goes for NPAT as well, which is more than double that of five years ago.
We've increased our sales each year with new motorcycles despite the industry declining for three of the last six years. Our increased stock position with used bikes has returned our sales to better than pre-COVID numbers in a market where supply has been severely restricted. The various profit drivers of the business remained very consistent for the half with the exception of retail accessories. Overall, the group performed well over the half despite the COVID restrictions. New and used bike sales and demand remained strong. Retail accessories rebounded strongly since that reopening. All dealerships are performing well. However, some of the newer dealerships can perform better with time. We're keen to grow the business both organically and via acquisition. Further to that, as mentioned, we completed the acquisition of Forbes and Davies in New Zealand.
This is another wholesale distribution business, and we have a clear and definite plan to grow that business. Sorry, I just lost my page there. Give me a second. I'll find a new page. Just stay on the line. I'm not quite finished. Okay. Back to acquisitions and organic growth. We have also, earlier this month, completed the acquisition of a dealership in the flood capital of Queensland, Gympie. In their first month of ownership, we have endured two significant floods at Wide Bay Motorcycles. However, I'm happy to say the dealership is high and dry and not been adversely affected. In fact, the large rainfall should only help our already very strong mower sales. Wide Bay Motorcycles falls into the rural category of dealerships and helps to provide further diversification. The sales in agricultural four-wheelers and ride-on mowers is particularly strong.
Both Forbes and Davies and Wide Bay Motorcycles are profitable and will contribute to this year's earnings. Next, I'd like to provide an update on Cassons, our wholesale business. COVID-19 also has had a negative impact on the business, and the sales decreased by 7% for the half. However, gross profit was maintained as gross margins improved. The importation of accessories has been disrupted, and we are still experiencing delays with shipments. However, we've been able to finally rebuild our stock position and are well-positioned to take advantage of our continued strong demand. We've been able to maintain the low-cost base achieved in the previous financial year. Our joint venture finance company continues to grow strongly, and it's posted a net profit after tax of AUD 624,000, a 52% increase over the previous year.
We still maintain a special provision for COVID losses with the finance company. However, losses have trimmed it down since April of last year and are well within expectations. Responsible lending, combined with disciplined debt collection, have assisted with keeping losses to a minimum. Our focus. The focus for the next half is to maintain our strong margins, maintain or manage the inflationary pressures on our overheads whilst looking for ways to grow the business. We will continue to add to our product offerings by adding two mower brands to existing dealerships. We believe ride-on mowers to be the right product to assist with further diversification and additional growth. We have had very positive discussions with mower manufacturers about expanding our involvement in the mower industry. We remain motivated to acquire additional motorcycle dealerships and continue to review opportunities.
We are set to release our new business-to-business e-commerce platform this half, followed by an enhanced e-commerce retail platform. Outlook-wise, finally, we go forward. We are looking confident that the business will perform well for the rest of the year, notwithstanding any unexpected COVID closures. While January's results were constrained somewhat due to the spread of the Omicron variant, February has returned to strong results. Supply of motorcycles and accessories continues to be volatile. However, supply is sufficient to deliver growth. Traditionally, the second half of the year is not as strong as the first. However, in recent years, that has been disrupted due to COVID. Our intention is to continue with our dividend policy of paying out 50%-70% of NPAT. That's all I've got now, and I'm happy to take any questions.
Thank you, David. We will now begin the question and answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone and wait for your name to be announced. If you need to cancel your request, please press the pound or hash key. Our first question comes from Sarah Mann at Moelis Australia. Please go ahead.
Morning, Dave.
Hi, Sarah.
First question just on the floods in Queensland. I hope you guys are okay. With the flooding, have you had any impact to inventory, like or stock losses or anything like that? If so, how does that kinda impact revenue in the second half, given that we're already still kind of in an inventory kinda constrained environment?
Yeah.
As you mentioned, despite the floods. Yeah.
Very difficult question to answer this morning, given that it's only just happened yesterday. We have had water into three dealerships. Two of those dealerships, we were able to remove a lot of inventory over the weekend. We removed all the Harleys and BMWs out of two dealerships and moved a lot of the accessory parts stock to an elevated position. Very minimal inventory loss in those two dealerships. However, the third one we couldn't get to in time, and it has been flooded. The extent of the inventory loss there, I don't know. We are, of course, fully insured. We don't think, well, it will affect sales for the half to some degree in that one dealership. It is insured.
We don't expect it to be material, as far as the EBITDA for the group for the half. You know, there's a bit of work there to do yet. Two dealerships, you know, certainly underwater this morning. We removed their stock. That was where the biggest exposure was with the Harley and BMWs. We removed all of that stock, you know, basically working around the clock for the last two days. Don't know the extent of the claim. Don't know the extent of the impact to sales at this stage, but I don't believe it'll be material. There will be an effect. Confident that we'll be back in trading within a day or two at Morgan & Wacker.
We'll give it a week, I would think probably. There's probably a week in the two dealerships, loss of revenue and a week in one other dealership. Overall not too bad. The rest of the dealerships are all open. Gold Coast is still unfolding, so we don't know exactly. So far, no one has had water in the business at Gold Coast, but you know, that's possible later today perhaps. The dealership there didn't have any water in the building. It's had two floods during the course of February, but still trading very well. Yeah, unfortunate, but I think you know, we'll bounce back pretty quickly. We've done this before, obviously. We know exactly what to do. We're quite familiar with dealing with the floods in Queensland.
Yeah. Got it. All right. Thanks. In terms of the FX movements and also cost inflation, how much of that are you able to pass through and what other things can you do to kinda try and mitigate some of the-
Sure.
Cost inflation impact in your margins?
We've been passing on any increase in cost so far, both on bikes and accessories. We're still maintaining a good margin at a retail level that hasn't been degraded at all. Wholesale margin is still holding up quite well. It's strong. It's as strong as it has been. FX, we've hedged some money out for about six months, so we've been trading on a relatively strong Australian dollar. That might come off a little bit, I think, in the next six months, but not significant. It'll only affect Cassons, the wholesale business there. Of course, we're looking to increase our prices across the board with Cassons as well. We've done that, you know, several times over the last couple of years, and we're doing that again now.
We think we can maintain the margins without any great impact to gross profit.
Okay, great. Just looking at industry bike sales. Clearly they were really strong last year.
Yeah, particularly off-road. Yeah.
Yeah, particularly off road. I mean, even stronger than, I don't know, when you look at COVID first hit and there was all that government stimulus. Like
Yes.
Do you think bike sales are kind of at a peak level right now versus cycle? Or
No.
Do you think there's been a kind of a structural shift in, like, the you know, the cycle kind of changed now and, the amount of bikes is just structurally larger?
It certainly appears to be the way. That's the way everybody's talking and thinking. Like, you know, when I speak to manufacturers, there's no one really factoring a decrease in sales anywhere, anytime soon. We're still struggling to get stock. It's good to be able to increase sales on last year, which we're well up, obviously, and we're well up again. We're able to supply a reasonable number of bikes. Having said that, you know, we can only supply bikes to people that pay a deposit and a contract ahead. We don't have a lot of floor stock. We're always waiting for bikes to arrive. I mean, that's all good for profitability, but the demand seems to be really quite strong. Particularly off-road bikes have been really strong.
It's across the board too, with road bikes to a certain degree. Used is still strong. Supply has been the problem with used bikes. That's been the real issue. We've put a lot of effort into acquiring used bikes over the last 6-12 months and that's paying dividends without a doubt, because we're outperforming the market there considerably. I don't think it's... I think it's here to stay. I think the demand is that people just wanna buy motorcycles. It feels very strong, very reliable and very consistent still.
Excellent. All right. Thanks a lot.
No problem.
Our next question comes from William Cunning at Carter Security. Please go ahead.
Hi, Dave. Yeah, thanks for everything so far. I've just got a couple of questions. Just firstly, you know, it's already been alluded to in the call, you know, last year was a very, very strong year for bike sales, particularly that uplift in Q4. I was just wondering, could you provide maybe a bit more color just on the type of demand and the type of customer you're seeing and also to the extent that how much, like repeat business have you seen and how many people are upgrading from entry-level bikes? How many people are coming back to the store after, you know, maybe purchasing in 2020?
Yeah, there's still plenty of new people coming into the industry. I mean, we've always got repeat business for learn-or-improve customers who wanna upgrade after two years. That's not particularly massive, that increase. It seems to be new people coming into the motorcycle industry, particularly with off-road bikes. If we look at what's selling really well in that area is the kids bikes, you know, mini bikes, dirt bikes for recreational use. It really very much feels like new customers and not that repeat business yet. It usually takes a couple of years for the repeat business to kick off. You wouldn't normally see a customer back within two years if they wanted to upgrade. We're yet to see any sort of kick in repeat business from increased COVID sales.
No, I think it's just new people wanting to ride motorcycles, and that's really quite encouraging.
Yeah. Okay, great. That's been some positive. The other question I had was just on staffing. You know, obviously that's the sort of theme for a lot of businesses at the moment. Are you getting enough ability to get staff at the moment?
Yeah, that's been a challenge, there's no doubt about it. I think every business is struggling a bit. We're seeing some wage pressure. There's no doubt that people are looking for more money. If we look at the last half, our wages were only up AUD 900,000 for the half, which is not too bad given that we've driven sales higher at the same time. I think our wages were up 3% and our sales were up 9%. So far we've been able to contain wage growth. It's certainly not out of hand, and it was pretty low the previous year, too. We're coming from a low base, and we've maintained a fairly low wage base. I'm happy with what it's costing us. It is a struggle to get good people, but we find them, you know.
We continue to find them. I wouldn't say it's desperation stakes or anything like that. Feels relatively normal. Yeah, there's a few people moving around. There's some people leaving and some people coming, but so far it's all quite manageable.
Yep. That's great. Thanks for that. My only final question is just around maybe a bit more color on the acquisition pipeline. We've sort of had this or it feels like we've had this delayed, you know, delay of two years or so on behalf of vendors who maybe are capitalizing on the strong market. Could you maybe just provide a bit more color on what you're seeing in the pipeline and maybe people's appetite to sell?
I'm seeing more dealerships for sale now than I did, say, a year or two ago when I first got the initial insights. Having said that, I'm reviewing several dealerships at the moment. You know, I've always got something that I'm looking at and investigating. I've not got quite the same vendor interest I would have had, say, two years ago. They're out there, and we're looking further afield now, too. We've got a real interest in this mower, ride-on mower market, which is much more significant than we first realized, and it looks like it can be a real growth center for us, a good diversification. We're looking in two directions now, motorcycle dealerships and/or large mower businesses.
We're looking to add product, you know, add brands to existing sites and even acquiring a mower shop if this all fits down the track. You know, we always look to do one or two acquisitions a year. We've got two so far this year. I'll feel confident it'll be at least two next year. Don't think there'll be anything completed before June 30, but you know, certainly we'd be looking to acquire more dealerships, you know, early next financial year.
Yep. Great. Okay, well, thanks for those.
No worries.
Once again, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone. Our next question comes from Jared Gelsomino at Morgans. Please go ahead.
Hi, Dave and Bob. Just one quick question on sort of the used bike margin dynamic. I think you sort of called out the stock levels that have been sort of maintained, but it does look a little softer than usual. Is that more of a function of it's just tough to get your hands on the new bikes and maybe paying a little bit more? Or can you maybe just speak to that dynamic going forward over the second half?
Well, yeah, used bike sales has been quite strong over the last half, up 14% on last year, which was down a bit, and numbers are starting to look quite healthy there, and we're maintaining the strong margins that we've had the whole time. It's really quite profitable for us. The difficult part has been acquiring the stock previously. You know, we've been able to build it up to a fairly good stock there. We're close to AUD 15 million in used bikes now, so that's about right for the size of our group. There's been a real shift towards new bikes. There's no doubt
about that. That part of the industry seems to be growing stronger than the used. I think supply was really the challenge for us.
If we look back to, you know, why our sales had dipped last year, which is really the only time I've ever seen used bike sales dip in probably decades, and really was that all the used bikes got snapped up. You know, they got bought up very quickly, and there are far fewer motorcycles on the market. That's improved a little bit, but it's still not back to pre-COVID sort of numbers available. What we've done is increased our human resource and capacity to buy them. We've put more effort into buying the used bikes and buying them further afield to keep our stock levels elevated. I guess we're grabbing market share with used bikes. Historically, you know, our used bike business has grown every year for a long time.
You know, it's been a major focus for us. It's a good profit center, and it's a fundamental difference between us and a lot of other dealerships.
Okay. Thanks for that. Yeah, makes sense. In terms of dividend, obviously paid a pretty big interim dividend there in the first half. I guess how do we sort of think about sort of second half? Something consistent, obviously up towards the upper end of that sort of affirmed 50%-70% payout.
Yeah, that's right. We expect to maintain within that ratio between 50%-70%. You know, we think that's definitely achievable, allows us some money to invest in new dealerships without stretching us, without going into debt. You know, if the right business came along and we needed to go into debt, we would. We can pay out 50% quite comfortably, and that leaves us, you know, some cash available to continue growth. Yeah, we're pretty comfortable with that.
Great. No, that's all from me. Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Bob.
Thanks, Jared.
Thank you. Our next question comes from Ben Rodney at Morgans Financial. Please go ahead.
Oh, Hi, Dave. Congratulations on a strong result. Just a question with regards to the mower, the ride-on mower market. Can you just give us a like, a bit of an industry overview, you know, how many dealerships are out there that I guess it's quite fragmented. Is it, you know, similar types of earning multiples you need to pay? Just, yeah, where that business could kind of grow to and the opportunity over the next, say, five years.
Yeah, sure. It's still early days for us, but certainly through the Gympie dealership, we can see that the ride-on mowers have been very profitable for that dealership. It's been a real, you know, profit contributor. We've noticed that in Ipswich, where we put them in some time ago. We've literally just got them going into two dealerships as we speak, a couple of different brands. We're learning a bit more about that industry as we go. I've been looking at various mower dealerships for sale, and there's no doubt that it's a lot of mom-and-dad businesses there. Very fragmented. They're even more so than motorcycles. They don't have the same investment in capital and scale.
However, there are some operators that are very professional, and they do have scale, and they are making quite a good return for their investment. We're probably more interested in, if we were to buy something like that, it would be the larger end of dealerships. I believe they do change hands. One changed hands recently, and that had earnings of about million dollar a year. A good mower dealership can be, you know, considerable. There are lots of them out there 'cause everyone who's got more than about an acre of grass needs a ride-on mower. Virtually all homeowners on large acreage of land, they've gotta have them, so they can borrow money as need be. It's actually quite a sizable market.
Haven't been able to get any exact figures on the total size of the market. They don't seem to be available. Just looking at the number of shops around in any given area, and how they're traveling, I think as long as it rains, mower dealerships can do quite well. I'm really surprised at the sales that we're seeing in some locations. Fragmented, easy to buy small ones, you know, they don't move the needle materially. We're looking for a bit more scale there. I've spoken to a few interested parties. Who knows? There could be something there in the near future.
Great, thanks.
Our next question comes from Peter Tru at Carter Bay Securities. Please go ahead.
Oh, morning, Dave. Hope you're going well. Maybe you should think about getting into jet skis or boats.
jet skis.
Huffy bikes.
jet skis.
Yeah, glad to hear the business isn't too affected. Just one question. Just on the inventory, you know, you've boosted that, the levels, given the supply chain constraints. Just wondering, you know, should we sort of think about that as, you know, running things pretty rich, and that may back off as things improve? Or, you know, should we also sort of think about the possibility that if you do get an opportunity to boost inventory levels even further, you'll take that?
No, I think we're pretty right now. We've got them back to kind of pre-COVID levels. We've got used bikes right up to where we want to be. So it's not overstocked, not under. We've proven that we're able to buy more than we sell to get to that sort of stock level. So we know we can turn that tap on if needed. So used is about right. Cassons was the big one. That was down twelve or fourteen million dollars on what it was, and we've increased the stock there by AUD 12 million at Cassons. So it was down really desperately low prior, but we place orders months and months prior to receiving the stock. So we placed these orders, you know, last year and before that.
That stock, we placed large orders then, and that stock started to flow now. That's coming in. Those larger orders is really helping rebuild our stock position. Of course, we know that our stock's further delayed, so we're carrying stock for longer periods of time now, otherwise we will run out. It's a bit of an insurance policy there to try and maintain the sales going forward. We do know that we lost a lot of sales in Cassons because we couldn't supply, and I guess-
Yeah
Other businesses were in the same boat, where they had demand for product that they just couldn't supply. Demand has remained really quite strong. We bought deeply into our really fast-moving stock and stock that we're very confident with. You know, January came off a little with the Omicron virus. That was like being in lockdown for that month. We've rebounded very quickly back into February, so we're feeling confident there that we're back into a normal market. It really was just a one-month, you know, variation then. No, I think we're I don't think we need to buy any deeper with Cassons or the retail shops or used bikes. New bikes, we're still waiting on stock all the time, but that kind of comes in and goes out.
Doesn't require a lot of cash if it goes on floor plan. Really, I think we're
Yeah
Pretty well right. I think we can grow the business with existing stock level. So long as we can get a reasonable supply of accessories similar to what we've had in the past, then we've got enough to grow.
Yeah, that's great. Well done. Thanks, Dave.
Thank you. Cheers.
Once again, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone. Our next question comes from Matthew Den Elzen at Scanlon Capital. Please go ahead.
Good morning, David. Thanks for taking my question. I'm just looking at the new motorcycle sales, which are up 14% versus the industry 21%.
Yeah.
Which, at face value, means there's a bit of a market share loss, which I can't remember seeing in the past. Can you just talk to
Yeah, market share for us?
Why your-
Yeah
Your growth would have been less than the industry?
Yeah, sure. There's two things that affect that, as far as I'm concerned. One is off-road bikes were really strong. They were particularly strong, by far the growth sector. We're in metropolitan dealerships, mainly Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, what have you, and we tend to sell a lot more road bikes than off-road. We wouldn't have had quite the same benefit from that off-road boom. The other thing is, Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne dealerships, were shut. You know, it was very difficult to sell new bikes for four months. While the country areas could keep selling their off-road bikes, the dirt bikes, provincial towns where they sell really well, we couldn't kinda enjoy the same sort of growth in sales because, you know, we were restricted trading.
I think those two factors created what was, you know, somewhat of an aberration. There is also a third factor, although it's less material, and that is some of the brands that we sell don't get recorded in those FCAI figures, fairly small numbers and not really significant. I think mainly we're looking at the fact that the road bike market was subdued in the capital cities. We're not trading much in the off-road markets outside of Brisbane or Sydney or Melbourne. Just no. There is a real issue with supply. It's not quite what it used to be.
You know, previously, because of our size, we could buy a lot of stock on any given model, and we could hold that stock and make sure that we had it in the future. Now, manufacturers will only supply units to a dealership if it's pre-sold and have a contract and a deposit. We can't use our size to, you know, control the stock situation like we were in the past. I'm sure we'll get back to that time, but, right now, it's very much our size is no benefit to us.
Great. Okay. In terms of the order book, if you're taking deposits, do you know what the order book looks like of sort of unfilled orders at the moment versus-
Yeah.
-break?
I had a look at that recently, and it changes from time to time, from brand to brand. Like, sometimes a brand will have a lot of stock arrive, and so the order book drops down, and then somebody else has run out. So it's up and down all the time. But generally speaking, it's about the same as it has been for the previous, you know, 6 or 12 months. There is a strong order book there. Yamaha in particular at the moment means a lot of bikes. We've got a lot of them pre-sold, and we've got 9 Yamaha dealerships, so our order book is high because of that. Our order book's always high with Harley-Davidson. We're always waiting for Harleys. But, you know, they're getting us sufficient numbers, but we could sell more. BMW is very tight.
You know, we're really looking for stock with BMW. Triumph is the same. You know, we're waiting for bikes or for most of the brands. It certainly hasn't, doesn't look like it's improved. If anything, it might have got worse than, say, 6 months ago. It's, you know, the volatility will continue, I think, for probably, you know, another 12 months. It comes in, the worldwide demand for motorcycles has gone through the roof, so it's not just us that they have to supply, it's the whole world. To be fair to the manufacturers, they are getting more bikes into the country. You know, our sales have gone up because they have sold us more. It's still very healthy, that order book.
Great. Wonderful. Thank you.
Cheers.
Thank you. Just a final request. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone. David, it looks like we have no further questions, so I'll hand back to you if you have any closing comments.
Okay. I'd like to thank everybody for their time today. Of course, I'm able to take calls at any time you like. Road shows starting in Sydney, Melbourne next week or Sydney next week. Okay. Thank you.
Thank you very much. This does conclude today's conference call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
