We ve been around a long time. In New Zealand since 1886 in fact. Business began for us as a brass and iron foundry, before moving to manufacturing tapware and copper laundry vessels. Today, Methven is New Zealand s longest esablished, largest supplier and leading designer of showerware, tapware and hot water valves to home renovators, plumbers and the building industry. It s fair to say we ve learnt alot. And, situated on an island, far from the rest of the world, we have a unique relationship with water. We understand its power to calm, refresh or invigorate. We re acutely aware that it is one of the planet s scarcest and most precious resources. Our design team are driven by a desire to capture and look after this power. A focus that has been recognised by a host of global awards for design, innovation, water conservation and the unique experience our customers have with our products. We ve made it our business to understand our customers needs too. They ve told us that in this busy, time-poor world, their bathrooms are their sanctuaries, where families and women, in particular, can take time out. that S WHY OUR EnTIRE CONSuMING passion IS MAKING SUrE OUR CUSTOmERS HAvE AT LEaST ONE luxurious shower EXpERIENCE IN THE DAy WhERE THEIR SENSEs ARE FULLY AwAKENED, RESTOREd AnD REAdY TO FaCE WhATEvER COmES ThEIR way.

O5 ThE directors REpORt Methven Group has continued its momentum of growth into the six months to 30 September 2008, reporting growth in revenue, operating earnings and net profit as the UK business contributed fully despite an extremely difficult trading climate. While the deterioration in world economies has been much more severe than anticipated, Methven has achieved a satisfactory half year result and remains confident that it can weather the storm to be well positioned to accelerate growth as conditions improve. We are now seeing the true benefit of an international spread of markets that has allowed Methven to cushion the effect of a slowing New Zealand economy with continued growth in Australia and a reasonable result in the UK, considering the market s weakness. The company has a unique and appealing range of water and energy efficient showerware that provides the potential for market share growth to mitigate the adverse trading conditions. This is supported by a strong management team with the skills and experience to deal with economic downturns and the commitment to innovation and design to drive consumer preference. The positive half year result reflects primarily a full six months contribution from the UK compared with one month s contribution last year and continued strong growth in the Australian shower and tapware market where the release of new high end proprietary Satinjet showerware and complementary tapware ranges has boosted sales and operating profit. It also takes into account lower New Zealand sales, realisation of only part of the impact of cost savings in the USA where operations were wound back and the impact of management s increased focus on cost reduction to adjust spending to current conditions. Group NPAT was up 29.4% from $3.8 million to $5.0 million (up 13.1% before UK tax credits of $626,000) compared with the same time last year. This was on the back of a 34.6% lift in EBITDA, up from $7.1 million to $9.6 million, and 65.9% growth in Group operating revenues, up from $43.2 million to $71.8 million. The six month profit was boosted by an extra tax benefit of GBP240,000 ($626,000) arising from a UK enterprise management staff share scheme tax incentive, crystallised by the acquisition of Deva. While trading conditions are likely to prove very testing for some time the company will continue to invest strategically in new technology such as shower infusions that will generate new sales, extend market share and create new distribution channels and build Methven s brand reputation as a world leader in innovative, efficient and beautiful showering experiences.

6 market Review United Kingdom United Kingdom EBITDA of $3.3m and sales of $29.5m achieved in line with budget despite dire economic climate. Proprietary products, including Satinjet, launched with small sales volumes to date, but room to grow market niche and benefit from next year s new building regulations. These are expected to mandate new shower water efficiency requirements of 8.5 litres per minute for which Satinjet is ideally positioned. Tapware market share increased, based on Deva s superior delivery performance and competitive product offering for the specification market. Dubai sales office established with first half tapware and accessories sales of GBP490,000. Platform in place to promote proprietary shower products. New Zealand Methven New Zealand EBITDA down 8.6% to $6.1m on last year. This reflects the decline in the renovation and new build segments, albeit our stronghold in renovation is much less affected, the partial loss of manufacturing margin on NEFA valves being outsourced to China and additional Group resources to improve global branding and sourcing initiatives in China. Domestic sales down 7.9% on last year to $20.1m despite a 15% fall in combined renovation and new build permits. Methven is the leading shower and tap supplier with more than 50% of the market and therefore the economic downturn will impact our full year result, though the underlying strength in the renovation sector and support of our installer plumber base will provide some cushioning. Australia Shower and Tapware Australian shower and tapware division EBITDA up 29.8% to $1.7m on sales of $15.8m, up 25.8%. Methven continues to grow strongly despite housing and consumer spend weakness. Satinjet sales up 30%, contributing 23% of total sales, up from 21% year on year. Newly released Tahi and Kiri shower, tapware and thermostatic ranges now carried by 250-store, nationwide chain to provide further growth impetus. Tapware sales up 37%, generating 18% of total sales, from 15% this time last year, with further growth opportunities from new three-hole range and new single lever designs. Nefa Valves Australian NEFA valving business EBITDA loss $0.7m on sales of $5.1m was higher than expectation as margins squeezed in intensely competitive market. Product cost savings achieved from China sourcing with more significant savings to come, partially offset by reductions in New Zealand manufacturing contribution. USA Methven USA loss of $0.5m only partly reflects the scaling back of staff and reduced marketing costs with expectation to reach close to breakeven in the second half. Maia and Infusions Maia beauty shower US market development costs of $0.2m included in the result. Market research and product trials support the expectation for strong consumer interest for Maia products and the revolutionary new Shower Infusion ranges which are under development. A trial launch into a US television home shopping channel is scheduled for the last quarter plus a retail store launch in New Zealand in May 2009.

7 DIVIDEND AND CASH FLOWS Having reviewed the balance sheet, performance outlook and continuing confidence in our products and strategy, as well as taking into account reduced working capital and borrowings at a reasonable level, Directors have declared an interim dividend of 6.25 cps to be paid on 31 December 2008. This is up 0.55 cps on the previous year s interim. The interim dividend is fully imputed at 33%. Methven has a solid balance sheet with very good debt financing arrangements. We have a three year debt facility in place for the period to August 2010 with fixed bank margins which are considerably more favourable than current rates on offer following the current global credit crisis. In addition the majority of our $35.0 million debt is denominated in pound sterling which has a more favourable base rate than the New Zealand base rate. FOCUS Methven is focused on internationalising the business to compete on the world stage with a design led strategy based on: expanding the suite of proprietary, water and energy efficient shower and tapware which will form the basis of continued growth over the next three years. design and development of new proprietary products that will improve the quality of water such as Maia and also enhance the experience as with Shower Infusions to provide new revenue streams and channels to market. establishing brand presence and choice with products and experiences to fit different price points and preferences. extending the geographic market reach, including the addition of non-traditional channels such as the beauty channel for Methven s proprietary products. gaining supply chain efficiencies from manufacturing outsourcing, wider supplier base, global sourcing and quality assurance systems. OUTLOOK Despite the extremely difficult conditions, Methven is tracking to plan to achieve an improved full year result and maintain its momentum of continued growth. Management is focused on reducing costs and working capital, gaining greater operational efficiencies and savings from outsourcing to mitigate potential risks from any further deterioration in market conditions and currency and raw material price fluctuations. At the same time, Methven is committed to continued prudent investment in key new proprietary technologies, particularly related to water and energy efficiency, improving water quality with its Maia vitamin C de-chlorinator and enhancing the shower experience with home spa shower infusions. New products including Satinjet Tahi and Kiri showerware, which have already won a raft of prestigious marketing and design awards, and complementary tapware are expected to underpin continued growth and increased market share in the second half, especially in Australia. Growth in UK market share is targeted from increased specification activity and proprietary product sales. Further opportunities are also emerging in Dubai for our tapware and water and energy efficient showerware. Domestically, consumer spending is contracting with the second half not expected to show any significant lift resulting in a lower full year sales and operating profit result for the New Zealand business compared to last year. While we are not planning to commit large investment in the USA market at this time with so much market turbulence, we will maintain a downsized plumbing distribution and sales presence and continue our drive to break even in the second half. We are also planning to test launch the shower infusion range through a US home shopping television channel in the final quarter of the year and high end beauty retailers in New Zealand early in the new financial year. The Board and management intend to exercise prudence, pragmatism and flexibility to ensure our targets can be met, but remain cautiously optimistic that Methven is well equipped to maintain profit growth while positioning itself to take full advantage of an eventual improvement in the global economy.
