CHAIRPERSON REPORT
E ngā mana, e ngā reo, e ngā karangarangatanga maha, te whānau o Parininihi ki Waitōtara tēnā koutou katoa. Nei rā te mihi maioha ki a koutou i runga i ngā āhuatanga o te wā. Ko te tūmanako kia noho ora mai koutou katoa i roto i te āhuru mōwai o tō tātou whānau me ngā hapori e noho nei tātou.
Nōku te māringanui ki te whakatakoto i te Pūrongo ā-Tau mō te Kōporeihana o Parininihi ki Waitōtara mō te tau i mutu i te 30 o Pipiri, 2024.
As we reflect on the past year, we recognise the significant strategic shifts we have embarked upon, building on the strong foundations laid by our predecessors while navigating a complex landscape. This year has been pivotal in ensuring that Parininihi ki Waitōtara is not just resilient but prepared for change and future growth.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Parininihi ki Waitōtara Group has recorded a net loss after tax for the year ended 30 June 2024 of $9.9m (2023: $1.0m loss). Total comprehensive loss recorded for the year was $18.8m (2023: $2.2m loss).
This final position was expected and reflects a significant downward valuation of our unimproved whenua tupuna (corpus land) of $23.7m impairment (2023: $10.6m impairment). This has been caused by current high interest rates affecting the discounted cashflow model upon which our whenua tupuna valuation model is based.
It is important for shareholder whānau to note that this does not represent a cash loss and note that the business fundamentals remain strong as demonstrated by the $2m improvement on operating profit before tax of $9.2m (FY22-23: $7.3m).
STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND TRANSFORMATION
The 2024 financial year marked the beginning of a multiyear transformation for Parininihi ki Waitōtara, designed to ensure our organisation’s long-term sustainability. Our focus remains on broadening our investment base, moving beyond our historical reliance on dairy farming to include diversified sectors such as horticulture, food and fibre production, and examining new areas such as renewable energy. These strategic initiatives are essential to diversifying our risks and capitalising on emerging opportunities in a quickly evolving market environment.
This strategic shift is not about moving away from our roots but about enhancing our ability to adapt and thrive. We remain committed to upholding the mana of our kaupapa and ensuring that our decisions are aligned with the aspirations of our Rau Titikura / Shareholders and the values of our tūpuna.
GOVERNANCE AND LEADERSHIP
This year, we have seen significant changes in our governance membership, which are critical to supporting our strategic direction. The Board welcomed new members who bring fresh perspectives, essential for navigating this transformative phase. We welcomed Serena Fiso to the board and welcomed back Tokatumoana Walden and we look forward to their leadership contributions.
In December 2023 we bid farewell to Tama Potaka and Claire Nicholson, whose contributions to the growth of our Incorporation have been invaluable. Their departure marks the end of an era, but their legacy continues to guide our governance practices.
Claire has continued on with her successful business and governance journey and Tama has gone on to play a significant role in our newest Government as Minister for Māori Development alongside a number of other significant portfolios including the Māori Reserved Land Amendment Act, under which the majority of our corpus lands are governed.
"Our focus remains on broadening our investment base, moving beyond our historical reliance on dairy farming to include diversified sectors such as horticulture, food and fibre production, and examining new areas such as renewable energy."
2024 RENT REVIEW PROCESS
Ironically, since the start of the year the Committee of Management have been in an arbitration with the West Coast Lessees Association as part of the seven-yearly rent review process. The rental review remains our core business and protecting this important income stream is central to our prosperity.
The issue of contention advanced by the Lessees is whether the cost of a modern Resource Consent can be claimed as a Lessee’s Improvement. The Committee of Management is clear that this is an inappropriate position taken by the Lessees Association.
At the time of writing, we have received the outcome of the arbitration and are very pleased to announce that the Arbitration Award is in the Incorporation's favour. The result is a significant accomplishment and aids in a resolution to the current rent review challenge. This has reinforced the Committee's stance that we must consider all necessary steps to protect our collective interests.
While on this occasion our interests have been positively recognised, it remains our view that the current legislative system – and the perpetual leasing system it created – imposed upon our tūpuna and their whenua remains manifestly unjust and is a matter that we will continue to take up with our new Minister for Māori Development.
STRATEGIC FOCUS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Looking forward, our strategic priorities include a particular focus on our climate change impacts and achieving our aspirations to be carbon neutral, as well as advancing our initiatives in renewable energy and property development. These sectors represent key opportunities for PKW to build sustainable and profitable ventures that will contribute to our long-term resilience. As we approach PKW’s 50th anniversary in 2026, we are laying the groundwork for celebrating our achievements and setting the stage for the next 50 years.
Our engagement with hapū remains a cornerstone of our strategy. Strengthening these relationships is not only about respecting our cultural heritage but also about ensuring that our growth benefits all stakeholders.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I extend my deepest gratitude to our Board, Te Rau Manawanui / Executive team, kaimahi, and partners for their dedication and hard work.
Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the significant contributions of our new Te Rau Matomato / CEO, Aisha Ross.
Since stepping into the role, he has brought a fresh strategic outlook and skills to PKW’s executive leadership, focusing on evolving and adapting our organisation’s existing strengths to meet future demands. His approach has been key in refreshing our strategy, ensuring that we are not just maintaining but building upon the strong foundations of PKW to adapt to new challenges and opportunities. Aisha’s leadership is steering us through this important transformation phase, marking a significant but respectful shift in how PKW is positioning itself for the future.
I also thank our Rau Titikura / Shareholder whānau for their ongoing support and trust. Together, we are building a legacy that honours our past and embraces our future.

Nōku te māringanui ki te whakatakoto i te Pūrongo ā-Tau mō te Kōporeihana o Parininihi ki Waitōtara mō te tau i mutu i te 30 o Pipiri, 2024, hei Rau Matomato.
I am pleased to present the Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation Te Rau Aroha Annual Report for the year ending 30 June 2024, serving as Te Rau Matomato/CEO now for a full financial year.
As we review the year, I’m reminded of the aspirational kōrero from our pāhake in the late 1960s,
‘Have confidence in ourselves, control our assets, build up its value by good management and pass on something that will be of practical benefit to our tamariki, something of which they can be proud, something that will be a living memorial to those of our present generation.’
As you read this report, you will get a sense that this kōrero is as relevant today as it was then. It is a touchstone that provides guidance and inspiration that strengthens our kaupapa, positions ourselves for a sustainable future, and builds on our collective legacy.
The year has been one of strategic significance as we progress a path of transformation for growth.
The world is changing as is the economic environment, coupled with specific environmental challenges, these factors have impacted financially and operationally. However, our strong foundations and approach to risk management and investment have enabled us to take control of what’s possible and navigate the challenges and choppy waters.
"The need to adapt is essential to ensure we are fit for purpose, able to respond to challenges and realise new opportunities into the future."
The need to adapt is essential to ensure we are fit for purpose, able to respond to challenges and realise new opportunities into the future. Te Rau Rengarenga / Committee of Management supported by Te Rau Manawanui / Management completed a full strategic review and approved the refreshed strategy He Rautaki 2033 – He Papa, He Tupu, He Ora, and other core strategic documents.
I would like to mihi to our whānaunga Tama Potaka and Claire Nicholson for their dedication and mahi over the past years as they retired during the year, and welcome both Toka Walden and Serena Fiso to Te Rau Rengarenga/ Committee of Management. These changes reflect your ongoing expectations of strong governance and leadership that ensures effective decision-making, guidance, and clear direction.
This report outlines the key operational highlights and developments that have shaped our transition this past year.
HE TĀNGATA
Our kaimahi are the internal heartbeat of our organisation. Kaimahi engagement and fostering of a culture founded in our values and legacy remains a key focus. New and existing initiatives aimed at ensuring kaimahi feel valued, informed, and connected to our kaupapa included Te Rau Mihiata, Business Intelligence sessions, Kaitiaki hui, Social Club events, Kurataiao Taranaki conference, PKW Whānau Day and Farms conference.
A critical need to focus on cost management and organisational efficiency led to the redesign of the Finance and Investment and Miraka Hipi teams, together with a focus on internal cost prioritisation and measures as we experience rising costs, interest rate pressure, and global market impacts.
We had a number of kaimahi move on to new professional opportunities within the year. I would like to acknowledge and mihi particularly to both Tonga Karena and Kirsty Riddell for their considerable mahi and meaningful contributions during their time with us.
"Our commitment to the protection and enhancement of wāhi tapu sites across the whenua portfolio has also been a key focus this year. "
HE WHENUA
The ongoing commitment to nurturing and developing our relationships with hapū is a key priority. Our Taiao team has regular engagement with hāpu across Taranaki and provide useful data and information and sharing of their mahi on the whenua and awa.
We have made progress in building productive relationships, particularly with Puketapu, Ngāti Tu and Ngāti Manuhiakai, Kānihi-Umutahi, and Hāpotiki. These relationships are critical as we explore opportunities for collaboration and mutual benefit.
Our commitment to the protection and enhancement of wāhi tapu sites across the whenua portfolio has also been a key focus this year. A collaborative approach is taken by our Taiao and Property teams who have been leading this critical work to ensure that our cultural heritage is preserved, respected and enhanced in all activities.
HE ORANGA FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
As set out in the Chair’s report, a devaluation exercise has seen the PKW Group record a net loss after tax of $9.9m (2023: $1.0m loss), with total comprehensive loss recorded of $18.8m (2023: $2.2m loss). The annual swings in the valuation of our whenua continue to obscure our financial performance results every year.
Group expenditure was in line with expectations at $28m (2023: $26m). The rise in costs were due primarily to two significant on-farm challenges. The first challenge being drought-like weather conditions that needed to be carefully navigated through during the second half of the year, and addressing a significant animal health event within our Miraka Hipi flock.
On the global market scene and amidst ongoing uncertainty, commodity prices held relatively firm. However, the China market, a key export market for many of PKW’s investment interests, began to show signs of weakness through the second half of the year.
On the domestic front, interest rates remained high in an attempt to bring inflation under control. The intended impact of slowing down the local economy has been felt across a broad range of sectors as we saw businesses and families alike tighten their discretionary spending.
These factors have impacted our Papatupu (investment portfolio) in different ways, as set out in the detailed financial reports.
Despite the dry weather challenges on farm, PKW Farms LP recorded a respectable net profit result of $1.2m for the year. The milk payout this year fell to a blended price of $8.11kgMS (2023: $8.59kgMS). A portion of milk production volumes is hedged every year as protection from potential market shocks that may trigger a crash in the farmgate milk price. The average hedged price for this year was $8.52kgMS.
PKW Miraka Hipi LP recorded a net loss result of $1.4m. Although a year of losses were expected for this start-up operation, the result was exacerbated by an unforeseen animal health event.
Investment in SLC Ventures LP was a strategic decision to expand our Miraka Hipi interests beyond the farm-gate by holding an indirect equity interest in Spring Sheep, a business that collects our milk, manufactures, and exports to market. Spring Sheep has had a challenging 12 months, caused by a significant decline in demand for Ingredients in China. However in June 2024, Spring Sheep achieved SAMR accreditation to export selflabelled infant formula directly into the China market. This opportunity will allow Spring Sheep to progress the plan to diversify away from its reliance on the Ingredients market and utilise an alternative sales channel into China.
Port Nicholson Fisheries (PNF) posted a respectable result for the year, driven by strong market prices for kōura in China for most of the year, and favourable foreign exchange rates. However, market demand for kōura significantly softened in the final quarter, signalling upcoming challenges for next year.
"Port Nicholson Fisheries (PNF) posted a respectable result for the year, driven by strong market prices for kōura in China for most of the year, and favourable foreign exchange rates."
Ngāmotu Hotels had a challenging year on the back of a slump in demand for accommodation from both business and leisure categories. This highlights how sensitive our Hotel investment is to the domestic market and how an expected fall in interest rates during the next financial year would be welcomed.
Harvest of the Mangaoapa Woodlot is underway, as we convert a long-held growth investment into cash. A fixed price harvest agreement is in place that provides PKW with certainty of returns in a volatile market. This fixed price approach has so far protected PKW from the declining China log market.
INVESTMENT FOCUS
Our investment strategy has been centered on balancing our portfolio. Reviewing asset performance and asset concentration, particularly within PKW Farms, we have broadened our focus to include food and fibre production opportunities, with an emphasis on emissions reduction and enhancing revenue.
In line with our strategy to diversify land use, we purchased back a leasehold property in December 2023 for horticultural or renewable energy development. While this initiative is still in the early stages, it represents a key component of our long-term strategy to explore sustainable and profitable alternatives in addition to our dairy farming investment.
This year marked the commencement of the harvest at Mangaoapa Forest, located northeast of Stratford in Ngāti Maru rohe. This milestone represents the first year of the forest's harvest cycle, contributing to our longterm investment strategy.
The second year of production at Miraka Hipi has been challenging, due to an animal health issue that affected both production levels and overall performance. Although these issues have been resolved, they underscore the importance of robust risk management practices and having diversity within our investment portfolio.
"As we look to the year ahead, our strategic focus is the ongoing mahi in strengthening our organisation in respect of structure, expertise, and resourcing, in readiness for the future."
FOCUS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD
As we look to the year ahead, our strategic focus is the ongoing mahi in strengthening our organisation in respect of structure, expertise, and resourcing, in readiness for the future.
We turn to advancing the early stages of several key investment opportunities in Renewable Energy, Tapuirau property development, and exploring alternative land use and emissions reduction opportunities within PKW Farms.
Early planning is underway for the PKW 50th anniversary in 2026, which will be a significant milestone in our history and legacy. Additionally, we will tautoko Te Matatini ki Te Kāhui Maunga in Ngāmotu in February 2025, reflecting our commitment to cultural pride, identity, and celebration.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
In conclusion, I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to Te Rau Rengarenga / Committee of Management, Management and Kaimahi, and Partners for their dedication, commitment and mahi throughout the year.
I also wish to thank our Rau Titikura/Shareholder whānau for their continued tautoko and belief in our people. Together, we will continue to build on our shared legacy, upholding the values that guide us and ensuring a sustainable future – He Tāngata, He Whenua, He Oranga..

Annual Results 2024
MANAAKITANGA WHANAUNGATANGA/ KOTAHITANGA
Measuring performance goes beyond the dollar bottom line for Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation, with social, cultural, environmental, and financial perspectives all playing a part to ensure the organisation delivers against its core values of Manaakitanga, Kaitiakitanga, Whakapono, Kotahitanga and Whanaungatanga.
These perspectives are measured through Te Ara Putanga, the outcomes pathway for Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation.
This will be the fifth year this innovative tool has been in place, creating the bigger performance picture via a series of metrics that not only provide an annual assessment, but also build on previous years to provide a record of PKW’s progress over time.
Te Ara Putanga not only measures performance, but also guides decisionmaking and strategic direction, creating an outcomes pathway leading to the PKW vision of He Tāngata, He Whenua, He Oranga - growing and sustaining our people through prosperity.
KAITIAKITANGA
Each metric consists of:
۰ a description
۰ a result on a scale of 1 to 10. PKW has set a minimum standard for any metric at 5, represented by a dotted line on the graphs
۰ an explanation of the annual result
۰ the result from the last financial year, showing how the business performance has changed, or remained stable, and
۰ future actions planned.

Care for our present and future generations
RETURN ON ASSETS
The rate of return on the asset / investment PKW holds or has made. A 5% return across the Incorporation portfolio has been set as the target.
Why? Operating margins have improved overall this year, however a subdued Fonterra farmgate milk price and challenging weather conditions put a squeeze on dairy operating margins. A positive operating result from our kōura export collective has contributed to the improvement in this result.
DEBT
What's next? Markets will remain volatile, however positive signs of a rebound in the China market for milk-related products are existent, supporting a stronger milk price for next season.. A key focus for Parininihi ki Waitōtara will be to continue our diversification strategy to manage our Papatupu (portfolio) risk and continue to operate an efficient business that is able to adapt to market changes.
The level of debt and debt maturity committed to PKW's business activities and investments. Balancing the debt across the organisation's interests is key and any investment decisions need to comply with the debt cap of 25% (asset to debt ratio) set by the Board for the Incorporation as a whole.
Why? PKW debt at a group level remains well under the debt cap threshold with PKW partnering with Rabobank and ASB for its lending needs.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
What's next? Debt levels will continue to be monitored and managed to ensure balance across the Group is maintained.
This metric measures EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) which is essentially the core operating performance of the organisation and informs distribution to shareholder decisions. In basic terms, the higher the result, the greater potential for an improved dividend.
0.0
5.0 (23-24) 5.0 (22-23) 6.0 (21-22) 6.0 (20-21) 5.0 (19-20)
Why? Despite volatile global and local market conditions, on the whole our active investments returned respectable operating profit results. The Mangaoapa Forest is in harvest, converting a long-held growth investment into cash distributions back to PKW. As the annual dividend payment is directly linked to the operating profit result, this performance has enabled the Incorporation to recommend the total dividend for this year to be $2.50 per share.
What's next? We have recently revised our Investment Policy and supporting Capital Plan. These two documents reaffirm our focus on continuing to diversify our portfolio, while maintaining a balance of cash generating investments and growth investments. The strategy is developed to deliver longer term benefits to shareholders through distributions such as dividends.
RISK
Robust policies, processes and systems are key to identifying, tracking and managing risk. This metric is influenced by both active and passive investments.
Why? PKW Governance undertook a Risk Workshop, facilitated by a risk management expert. This work has resulted in a full review of how PKW undertakes risk identification, mitigation and management across the PKW group. The Risk Register has been updated with outcomes from the workshop and will be further refined with a final session planned in the coming year.
COST MANAGEMENT
What's next? The final governance risk workshop is to be held, with refreshes to the current risk management framework expected.
Close management of business cost is essential to maintaining and lifting the bottom line. Adhering to budgets and ensuring cost rationalisation procedures are in place deliver positive results.
0.5 0.0
Why? Despite navigating through drought-like weather conditions for half the year, regular forecasting and deferring costs that were not high priority ensured operational costs were well managed.
What's next? PKW’s strong culture on cost management across our operations, will continue and include a focus on cost efficiencies.
Kaitiakitanga
Commitment to leadership
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Clear expectations and key performance indicators encourage a positive health and safety culture across PKW's business concerns and active investment interests. The score of this metric is directly linked to the reporting protocols in place - a score of 5 indicates all reporting responsibilities have been met.
0.0
Why? Health and Safety remains an imperative within the PKW culture. Critical Risk Teams continue to work exceptionally well, regularly considering those risks that have the highest chance of creating harm to our kaimahi whānau. KPI achievement needs further focus and attention.
What's next? PKW has again been supported by an external facilitator to refresh its Annual Planning goals and targets in the Health and Safety area and has refreshed KPI's for the coming period. These KPIs have an additional focus for achievement at a team level. Health and Safety maturity is the aim to ensure we continue to focus on this critical Pou.
ANIMAL WELFARE
The extent to which the organisation meets its requirements and obligations for animal welfare across its entire portfolio, not just within PKW Farms LP. PKW's dairy business is assessed through the ‘Welfarm’ programme. This independent industry-wide tool uses data generated by the PKW Farms vet to provide an overview of how animals are cared for and is designed to help dairy farmers better understand key animal health markers and how they impact on the optimisation of on-farm production performance.
Why? A slight improvement in scores across the farms occurred. On the whole, scoring was above the industry standard according to the Welfarm program, with a few areas identified for improvement.
WATERWAYS PROTECTION
What's next? Continued improvement areas will receive additional attention in the coming year.
The Kaitiakitanga Strategy sets minimum requirements for protecting awa that flow across PKW whenua and monitoring protocols to assess the health of the water. Fencing off waterways from stock and riparian planting are at the heart of this metric.
8.5 (23-24) 8.0 (22-23) 8.0 (21-22) 8.0 (20-21) 8.0 (19-20)
Why? The overall fencing and riparian planning programme of works was completed to 95% of the target - a 5% uplift on the prior year. Data is validated by Taranaki Regional Council.
What's next? We will continue to progress the fencing and riparian planning programme in the forthcoming year, however are dependent on external parties (landowners/ TRC) so the ability to meet the targets at 100% are challenging. Freshwater legislation reforms have not yet been finalised and PKW continues to remain ready to feed into any changes.

Kaitiakitanga (continued)
Commitment to leadership
ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
This measures the extent and ability to which the organisation is able to comply with the relevant and applicable environmental legislation and other regulatory requirements. There are four sections, each with their own score, within this metric.
a) Agri-Investments - both mandatory and voluntary environmental compliance, encompassing the health of the waterways and the flora and fauna found there.
Why? Consent compliance continued to be maintained at 100% and all planned SHMAK assessments for water monitoring were completed by the Kaitiaki Taiao team.
(23-24) 7.0 (22-23) 7.0 (21-22) 7.0 (20-21) 8.0 (19-20) 9.5 (23-24) 9.5 (22-23) 9.5 (21-22) 9.0 (20-21) 9.0 (19-20)
What's next? PKW’s Cultural Health Index tool continues to inform and grow our knowledge and understanding of the health of our waterways. Additional water monitoring has been targeted to assess at key junctions (awa at start of farm and awa at end/exit from farm) to assist PKW in assessing our direct impacts/improvements. This knowledge will inform our future practices.
b) Commercial Investments - Asbestos - ensuring that buildings and whenua within the commercial investment portfolio are up to standard specifically under Health and Safety at Work (Asbestos) Regulations 2016.
Why? An asbestos register remains in place for all commercial properties. An independent expert was engaged to review the management of known asbestos on PKW Farms and aided in the remediation plans which have been added to our asbestos register.
What's next? Continue ongoing monitoring and, where required, ongoing management of any asbestos risk.
c) Commercial Investments - Land Contamination - ensuring that buildings and whenua within the commercial investment portfolio are up to standard with regards to the identification and management of land contamination.
(
Why? No known contamination of existing or newly acquired whenua has been identified as reported in prior years.
What's next? On-going monitoring will continue.
d) Commercial Investments - Building Warrant of Fitness - ensuring that buildings and whenua within the commercial investment portfolio are up to standard specifically with regards to Building Warrant of Fitness.
Why? The annual Building Warrant of Fitness assessments were completed. There is no change in the status of any building owned by PKW.
What's next? Building maintenance and monitoring will continue throughout the year.
Kaitiakitanga (continued)
Commitment
to leadership
RESOURCE USE
AND EFFICIENCY
This metric is split into three sections to ensure that an accurate assessment can be made across all resource consumption.
a) Resource use and efficiency - Nutrients
Conscious and careful application of fertiliser and urea across both dairy and dry stock farming concerns to ensure only what is needed in the correct quantities at the right time is used.
Why? PKW has undertaken its regular modelling using OverseerFM (online software tool) to assess the annual nutrient performance of all managed whenua. All fertiliser decisions are made based on soil testing and recommendations from a qualified nutrient advisor. Nitrogen use on all farms is managed below 200kg of nitrogen per hectare.
b) Resource use and efficiency - Water
What's next? As part of the Kaitiakitanga Strategy Farming Methods Pou, PKW Farms continues to explore ways to manage nutrient inputs and we continue to look at ways to increase efficiencies around current practice. Active monitoring is in place.
Using water efficiently is important for both the bottom line and the environment.
(23-24) 7.0 (22-23) 7.5 (21-22)
Why? Majority of farms have the appropriate infrastructure, technology and tools in place to measure water use. Across the farming business, the daily average of litres of water used per cow remains under the targeted limit, with one area identified for improvement.
(20-21) 7.5 (19-20)
What's next? Continue to maintain systems for data analysis, along with the required infrastructure updates to target areas for improvement and efficiency.
c) Resource use and efficiency - Energy
Reduction in the use of energy, primarily electricity, signifies essential cost savings as well as being good for the planet.
0.5
Why? Energy consumption across all PKW Farms has not increased from last year. Consumption continues to be assessed by Meridian (our electricity provider).
What's next? Finding energy efficiencies, and fit-forpurpose monitoring system for investments outside PKW Farms, continues to be an area of focus.
WASTE MANAGEMENT
All investments are required to comply with any resource consents in place. In addition, there is an expectation that waste is actively monitored as to amount and type.
Why? Data capture has continued to assess waste across the farming investment, especially waste to landfill. Across the farming business, waste to landfill increased by 12% overall (from 33.5 tonnes last year to 40.1 tonnes). Recycling and environmentally friendly efforts (no waste burying, scrap metal collection etc) are happening across farms and in the main office as well as in the Novotel and PNF investments. Use of enviro friendly products and consumables have been implemented wherever possible. A waste audit was planned to aid in setting a target for reduction, however this has been deferred to the current year.
EFFLUENT MANAGEMENT
What's next? The waste audit has been rescheduled for the office. Waste volumes will continue to be collected from local council by the Novotel investment. A specific reduction target for relevant investments will be considered once the audit is complete.
Compliance with resource consents is non-negotiable for PKW's agri-business and reducing the environmental impact of both dairy and dry stock units forms part of the Kaitiakitanga Strategy.
Why? Outstanding Effluent infrastructure upgrades have occurred. All relevant farms have hi-spec systems with high range fail-safe systems in-place. These systems are supported with internal procedures.
CLIMATE CHANGE RISKS
What's next? Continue with monitoring infrastructure and systems to meet our kaitiakitanga expectations.
Carbon neutrality continues to be an aspirational goal for the Incorporation, and the PKW Climate Change Strategy has been developed to reach it. An implementation plan was in the process of being developed by specialist consultants, however this work effectively resulted in our focus needing to be on the targets we have set in our Kaitiakitanga Strategy. This series of work has been advanced and resulted in a historical assessment of our farming emissions profile. The profiling has highlighted the positive work on our 'insetting' initiatives which have been significant to date (e.g. riparian planting, land retirement/wetland restoration etc). The internal assessments indicate that many of these initiatives are having a positive impact on our emissions output. An independent expert will be engaged over the next few months to map and analyse this impact, which will then enable us to set the relevant measures to achieve our long-term outcomes relating to Climate Change.
BIOSECURITY
This metric assesses the likelihood and measures the impact a biological or biochemical event could have on an investment. Biosecurity is a key business risk and awareness is paramount.
Why? PKW’s Biosecurity Plan remains in place to effectively monitor and manage risk.
What's next? Management maintain an active watch on evolving risks. Where concern is identified, a formal risk assessment and risk management plan of potential biosecurity threats will be undertaken.
Whakapono
Adherance to our tikanga and belief in our future
TE REO USE, UNDERSTANDING, RELEVANCE & PROFICIENCY
Promotion of te reo Māori is important for PKW and for Māori culture generally. The organisation has a duty to ensure te reo is actively used across all investments.
Why? The naming of a further farm within the portfolio (Tirotiromoana – formerly known as Farm 16) took place during the year with the support of local Hapū. The rollout of the PKW app ‘Piki Mai Rawea’ has continued to be used as a key resource for the PKW whānau (Rau Titikura / Shareholders and Kaimahi / Staff). An additional tool was added to the App, providing a self-assessment and development plan for users to target areas of selfimprovement. This is building on the use, understanding and proficiency of te reo o Taranaki.
What's next? PKW will continue working with hapū, iwi and whānau to name whenua and establish a cultural narrative for farms where needed. PKW will continue to promote the use of the Piki Mai Rawea app tools to enhance capability and build competency.
CULTURAL VISIBILITY & PRIDE
The extent to which the investment will have a positive or negative effect on how shareholders and Taranaki Māori view themselves.
0.5 7.5 (23-24) 7.0 (22-23) 4.5 (21-22) 4.5 (20-21) 4.5 (19-20)
Why? This metric is linked to efforts to increase the use of te reo me ōna tikanga as reported above. The enhancement of the PKW App ‘Piki Mai Rawea’ and the naming of another farm have been key achievements in the year past.
NARRATIVE
What's next? PKW will continue to embed its Cultural Framework throughout its active entities.
Ensuring that investment opportunities align with PKW's vision, core values and strategic approach. The strength of that alignment, along with the rate of reinforcement, has an impact on the metric score.
0.0
Why? We continue to share our story through our key communication channels such as the annual general and half-yearly meetings, the annual report, Whenua magazine, the website, social media and our Piki Mai Rawea App. During the year in review, the PKW narrative was further enhanced through the PKW Strategic Refresh Roadshows and specific issues of Whenua which included the PKW narrative.
ACCESS AND CONNECTION TO LAND
What's next? Further additions to the Piki Mai Rawea app are in the pipeline, including podcasts which capture the oral history and traditions of the PKW narrative.
A sense of connection with the whenua is important for PKW shareholders so this metric is designed to assess if an investment has a positive or negative impact on that desire.
0.0
4.0 (23-24)
Why? The intent outlined in the Kaitiakitanga strategy remains unchanged and progress is on-going, with some investments over the past year providing an opportunity for uri to access wāhi tapu and whenua.
WĀHI TAPU
What's next? The Incorporation will continue to develop its relationships with Hapū to advance this initiative for whānau.
Identification and acknowledgment of wāhi tapu is key to this metric, along with the extent that a site is protected and accessible to whānau and iwi.
0.5 7.0 (23-24) 6.5 (22-23) 6.0 (21-22) 6.0 (20-21) 6.0 (19-20)
Why? The Mātauranga Kura Taiao project was aligned to give more emphasis to wāhi tapu protection, preservation and oral history capture. The project links with the review of the Whenua Acquisition and Development Plan. In the majority of identified wāhi tapu on PKW-controlled whenua, the site/s have been identified, digitally mapped and physically protected, and engagement has been undertaken with local Hapū.
What's next? Wāhi Tapu archealogical assessments are underway on all PKW-controlled whenua. Also, further identification of Wāhi Tapu on whenua not controlled by PKW (i.e. perpetually leased land) is underway.
Whanaungatanga / Kotahitanga
Belief in collective action with trusted relationships
ATTRACTION AND RETENTION OF KEY STAFF
Identifying key staff and ensuring there is a succession plan in place for those roles enables the business to maintain momentum and progress despite any changes in the PKW team. Attracting the right people, whose personal aspirations and skillsets complement the Incorporation's strategic aims and goals, is also important to create an effective and efficient workforce.
1.5
Why? Key staff changes have taken place in both PKW Incorporation and PKW Farms during the year. In almost all cases, replacement kaimahi or contractors were sourced, prior to the exit of the existing kaimahi or contractors through the use of informal succession and/or business planning. One area where recruitment improved, but still remains challenging is our farming kaimahi.
What's next? Succession planning process is generally informal across the organisation. Formal planning is targeted for key roles. A workforce development pipeline is being progressed, starting with developing relationships with secondary and tertiary education providers.
CO-INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Identifying and creating potential co-investment opportunities for other Taranaki Māori groups is strategically important to PKW.
Why? PKW actively explores the potential for coinvestment opportunities, although none have been realised during the 22/23 financial year.
What's next? Building relationships with potential investment partners continues to be a key strategic aim as well as strengthening relationships with existing partners.
WORKING CONDITIONS
Establishing a positive working culture and ensuring staff well-being across the entire PKW investment portfolio is important for business success while recognising the importance of a good work life for each individual.
2.0
Why? PKW's annual engagement survey resulted in a significant improvement, highlighting improvements across all areas of kaimahi engagement (alignment with vision, mission and values and wellbeing, as well as uplifts in commitment to PKW). PKW's workplace conditions remain strong.
What's next? Continuing to develop engagement initiatives and developing the capability of kaimahi.
Whanaungatanga / Kotahitanga (continued)
Belief in collective action with trusted relationships
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR TARANAKI MĀORI
Opportunities within the investment portfolio should be identified to ensure roles are retained where possible and further jobs can be created.
0.0
(23-24)
Why? A few new roles were created across the PKW Group, however not enough to lift this KPI to the next stage.
What's next? No major initiatives creating employment are planned for the upcoming financial year. Retention is the focus for the coming year.
CAPABILITIES DEVELOPMENT
The extent to which the investment provides opportunities to develop the personal and professional capabilities of both internal workers and other external stakeholders such as young Māori and whānau. Identification of core competencies and a cohesive development plan for individuals is integral.
0.0
(23-24)
(22-23)
(21-22)
Why? Individual training plans are being progressed throughout the businesses. In addition, PKW has commenced Bi-Monthly Business Intelligence sessions for all the PKW Kaimahi Whānau, enabling the presentation on historical and/or topical issues. Recent sessions included the Rent Review Process and Whakatipu (Growing and Developing) Conversations and are facilitated by senior leaders, focused on their specialist areas. Also, the PKW Trust continues to be a driver for capability development within our community through grants distributions – adding the Toi Scholarship Grant to the suite of offerings.
(19-20)
What's next? PKW is focused on improving the formality of our Whakatipu Conversations to ensure individual kaimahi have a tailored development plan.
alongside suppliers and businesses
ALIGNED PARTNERS
workforce development
Divided into two measures, this metric assesses the likelihood of new whānau, iwi and regional new businesses being created or existing SMEs growing as a result of PKW investment.
a) Spend with Māori businesses
Why? PKW’s spend with Māori businesses was 15.6%.
b) Value for money
What's next? A continuation of our progressive procurement action plan will continue to deliver positive outcomes for whānau. 6.5 (23-24) 6.0 (22-23) 6.5 (21-22) 6.5 (20-21) 6.5 (19-20)
What's next? PKW will continue to look for opportunities to advance closer towards its goal of 25% of controllable spend being allocated to Māori suppliers, and we continue to welcome Māori business not currently working with PKW to connect with us.
(23-24) 6.5 (22-23) 6.0 (21-22) 5.0 (20-21) 5.0 (19-20)
Why? PKW's progressive procurement strategy remains in place. The number of formal agreements in place with suppliers has increased by 48% this year, adding value to existing key business relationships through the provision of training, development, and employment opportunities.

A1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
These financial statements are for Parininihi ki Waitōtara Incorporation and its subsidiaries (collectively PKW). Please refer to note E22 for further disclosure.
PKW's consolidated financial statements are prepared:
• In accordance with generally accepted accounting practice (GAAP) in New Zealand and section 276 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards, as applicable to for-profit entities, for the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP. PKW is eligible and has elected to report in accordance with Tier 2 for-profit accounting requirements (NZ IFRS RDR) on the basis that PKW has no public accountability and is not a large for-profit public sector entity.
• On a historical cost basis, except for revaluation of certain assets and liabilities;
• In New Zealand dollars with all values rounded to thousands; and
• Using accounting policies as provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.
Accounting policies and standards
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year.
A2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Preparation of these financial statements requires the Committee of Management and Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Judgements and estimates are based on external advice, historical experience and other various factors they believe to be responsible under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
These judgements and estimates have been provided throughout the notes to the financial statements.
NGĀ WHAKAMĀRAMA I NGĀ TAUĀKĪ PŪTEA (NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
NGĀ TAONGA E PURUTIA ANA E KOUTOU (OUR ASSETS)
This section details the assets and investments PKW hold as kaitiaki (stewards) and how they generate revenue.
B3 Investment properties
Investment properties are held for long-term capital appreciation and to earn rentals.
Investment property held by PKW includes whenua entrusted to the Incorporation upon establishment in 1976 (whenua tupuna). The whenua is classified as either Corpus (based on two legal titles existing - a Fee Simple and a Leasehold) or Māori Freehold, and is leased out to third parties.
It is generally accepted that a market bias exists for Māori Freehold whenua due to various encumbrances imposed by Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993. These encumbrances have been reflected in the values adopted including the historical connection between the owners and the whenua, the membership of the preferred class of alienee’s and the statutory role of Te Kooti Whenua Māori (Māori Land Court).
Recognition and measurement
Investment property is carried at fair value and any changes in fair value are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other gains/losses - see note C10.
NGĀ WHAKAMĀRAMA I NGĀ TAUĀKĪ PŪTEA
(NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
B3 Investment properties (continued)
(a) Commercial and rural property
PKW engage independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of the investment properties at the end of each financial year. At 30 June 2024 the valuations have been performed by Colliers International (2023: Colliers) who are considered industry specialists in valuing these types of commercial and rural properties.
Fair value has been based on the Market approach which considers comparable assets for which price information is available. This approach applies level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, providing estimates based on comparable information.
(b) Whenua tupuna
A discounted cash flow model is used to assess the fair value of the lessor's interest in whenua tupuna at the end of each financial year. PKW engage PwC as an independent advisor, to provide specific inputs to the model each year.
Critical accounting estimates and judgement
The inputs applied in the valuation of whenua tupuna have been categorised as level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, requiring Management to make estimates based on unobservable inputs.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used:
An assessment (and therefore potential adjustment) of the projected cash flows at the current rental reset period (being 2023/24), based on market knowledge and matters currently being addressed.
Inputs sensitivity analysis
The following table illustrates the impact on fair value if inputs as at 30 June 2024 were higher or lower by 10%. Any change in fair value will have a direct impact on net profit after tax in the statement of comprehensive income.

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to PKW.
An asset's carrying amount is written down to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line and diminishing value methods to allocate the cost over the estimated useful lives, and is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Whenua is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

(NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
B5 Intangible assets
Assets that have no physical nature, but have value that is expected to provide a future benefit to PKW.
Fishing Quota
The recoverable amount of total quota shares at 30 June 2024 was $61.89m (2023: $59.7m) and the full amount is pledged as security against PKW borrowings - see note D15
Carbon credits
PKW is allocated carbon credits (NZUs) through the Emission Trading Scheme for forestry plantations. At 30 June 2024 PKW owned 82,385 NZUs (2023: 51,120) with a total market value of $4.12m (2023: $1.97m).
PKW will be required to surrender these NZUs once the harvest of Mangaoapa forest is completed.
Impairment considerations
Fishing quota and carbon credits have an indefinite useful life and are recognised at cost and reviewed annually for impairment. Impairment is only recognised when the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, and any impairment is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as part of other gain/ losses.

NGĀ WHAKAMĀRAMA I NGĀ TAUĀKĪ PŪTEA
(NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
B6 Biological assets
PKW holds livestock and forest woodlots as biological assets, and engage independent and qualified valuers to determine the fair value of biological assets at the end of each financial year.
At June 2024 PGG Wrightson provided the fair value of the livestock (2023: PGG Wrightson), which reflects livestock of similar age, breed and genetic merit throughout Aotearoa.
Livestock has been pledged as security against PKW borrowings - see note D15
Mangaoapa forest woodlot comprises of 291.6ha of Pinus Radiata planted from 1992 -2000. Forme Forest Industry Consultants have provided the fair value of the woodlot using the crop expectation value approach, which is the accepted methodology in Aotearoa for woodlots of a mature age class of trees with harvesting imminent.
Harvest of the forest commenced during the year and is expected to be completed by 2027. Sustainable harvest practices and stringent makegood criteria are a key consideration throughout the harvest process. Makegood focuses on management and hand back condition of the harvest area, including management of slash, waterways, erosion and soil stability, civils construction and unmerchantable timber.
Recognition and measurement

TE PŪRONGO WHIWHINGA TE WHAKAPAUNGA KAHA (OUR PERFORMANCE)
This section focuses on the results and performance of PKW. On the following pages you will find notes explaining PKW's results for the year.
C9 Revenue
Recognition and measurement
Rental revenue - whenua tupuna
Rental revenue is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
The Group leases whenua tupuna under operating leases with rentals payable six-monthly. Under legislation rent amounts are set every seven years with the current rent review due 1 January 2024 with a perpetual right to renew every 21 years.
Due to material differences in the approach to the rent review methodology between PKW and the WCSRLA, both parties were unable to reach a resolution and agreed to move to arbitration. The arbitration decision was received in August 2024 and the rent negotiation process is ongoing. As a result the lease rentals have been held at the same value as prior years, but the outcome of the rent review may have a material impact on the lease revenue from 1 January 2024.
Milk proceeds
Milk proceeds are recorded at a point in time when control of the milk transfers to the customer which is when the product is physically lifted and removed from the farm vats. PKW sells milk to Fonterra, Open Country Dairy (OCD) and Spring Sheep Milk Co and has entered into milk price future contracts. Revenue is recognised at the mid-point of the latest published Fonterra or OCD forecast milk price range, or at the agreed milk price and future contract.
Quota lease
Quota is leased based on an annual catch entitlement and at an agreed price with revenue recognised when invoiced.
Royalty revenue
Royalty revenue for Waipipi Wind Farm is recognised by the greater of a percentage of revenue generated by each wind turbine, or at an agreed minimum value.
Livestock
Livestock sales are recorded when control of the livestock transfers to the customer, usually on slaughter or collection of the animals by a third party. Revenue is recognised as a net balance of livestock sales, purchases and fair value movements.
Woodlot
Revenue is recognised as the woodlot is harvested. The amount recorded as revenue for the period is net of any fair value movements.

C13 Dividends
PKW aspire to target a distribution over time of 1.5-2.0% of shareholder funds and/or 40-45% of net operating profit.
When setting the dividend the Committee of Management consider the following:
• The requirements of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 and other applicable legislation
• The level of distributable profit and cash available for distribution
• Any relevant banking covenants
• The significance of dividends to PKW shareholders as a link to PKW and their ancestral whenua.
PKW currently pays dividends from tax-free reserves made up of pre 2004/05 retained earnings and realised capital gains, and therefore current distributions are non-taxable.
approved by Committee of Management
(a) Grant to Parininihi ki Waitōtara Trust
An annual grant of $294k (2023: $263k) is paid each year from PKW Incorporation to PKW Trust based on 10% of the annual dividend, to support the Trust objectives to advance the educational and cultural aspirations of Taranaki Māori. This grant has been eliminated in these financial statements - see note E22
(b) Unclaimed dividends
Comprises dividends held by PKW relating to missing shareholders. Unclaimed dividends are recognised as a non-current liability due to the nature of the missing shareholders and the length of time required to locate a shareholder or their tamariki mokopuna.
PKW maintain a list of the shareholders whose dividends remain unpaid,and actively work on the identification of missing shareholders.

E17 Derivative financial instruments
PKW uses cash flow hedges to manage risk associated with variable interest rates and farmgate milk price fluctuations.
Interest rate swaps
Interest rates on the PKW borrowing facilities are floating, exposing PKW to movements in interest rates. The swaps provide the right to pay interest at fixed rates and receive interest at floating rates, and cover 58% (2023: 55%) of drawn borrowings.
Milk price futures
PKW has milk price risk resulting from variability in Fonterra or OCD's final farmgate milk price announced and settled in September each year. Futures contracts have been entered into for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, with the objective to create price certainty around milk price by locking in the price for a portion of milk production in the current and future seasons.

This year has furthered the PKW Trust's legacy with significant milestones and achievements. This report highlights the unique successes of 2024 and addresses the challenges and opportunities we face moving forward.
GOVERNANCE OVERVIEW
The Trust has successfully integrated the governance structure introduced in 2023. Our vision, He Tāngata He Whenua He Oranga, inspired by the Taranaki Māori Land League established at Taiporohēnui in 1854, continues to guide us. This legacy informs our purpose, focusing on making positive contributions to the prosperity of our people, protecting our whenua tupuna, and building wealth for future generations.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The PKW Trust continued its commitment to supporting the aspirations of our whānau through careful financial management. We distributed grants and scholarships across a range of educational and cultural initiatives, reflecting our focus on enhancing our community’s wellbeing.
Despite broader economic challenges, the Trust has maintained financial stability, allowing us to offer consistent support. We plan to explore additional funding avenues and optimise resource allocation to expand our grant and scholarship offerings, thereby increasing our impact on the community.

"2024 has been a year of expansion and innovation in our strategic initiatives."
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES
2024 has been a year of expansion and innovation in our strategic initiatives. We introduced new programmes aimed at enhancing cultural and educational outcomes, including our third He Kurataiao Taranaki wānanga, which brought together kaitiaki and Taiao teams from across the region. Participants also discussed key aspects of the maunga negotiations, sharing their thoughts on what a successful settlement might mean and emphasising the importance of kōrero in the negotiation process.
The Te Reo Rangatira Scholarship continues to provide crucial support to our whānau. This expanded scholarship remains aligned with our strategic objective of cultural reclamation and identity strengthening. Dean Kahu and Tiana Rarawa Capper are among the recent recipients, with Dean speaking at the Half-Yearly Hui ki Taiporohēnui about the scholarship's significance in his journey to reclaim te reo Māori.
In addition to these scholarships, we have increased our partnerships to include two new organisations, Paeroa Contracting and Campbell Contracting, bringing our total scholarship partners to 22.
Looking ahead, we plan to broaden the scope of our strategic initiatives, particularly in education and cultural preservation, increasing the options and funding for scholarships and grants that directly impact our community’s ability to maintain and grow our cultural heritage.
WHĀNAU AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Engagement with our whānau and the broader community has remained a priority. In 2024, we increased community mātauranga grants, supporting events like the Taranaki Tū Mai Festival held from 24-26 November 2023 and the Mana Kuratuatahi Kapa Haka Nationals held from 30 October to 2 November 2023 in Nelson. Our support extended to the Taranaki Whānui Māori Rugby League, and through our marae grants, we supported significant developments such as the redevelopment of the whare Te Kuia at Aotearoa Pā. These efforts reflect our commitment to fostering strong connections within our community and supporting cultural and educational growth.
"A
key opportunity for the Trust is the upcoming Te Matatini festival in February 2025 at Pukekura Park, Ngāmotu."
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
This year presented unique challenges as we adapted to new market conditions and continued to refine our governance structure. However, these challenges have also opened new opportunities for growth. Our focus on strategic partnerships, especially in cultural revitalisation, has positioned us well for the future. The implementation of the Te Rau Manawaora Trustees' composition following the governance review will be further refined to align with the Trust’s role and function.
The ongoing success of the Kurataiao Taranaki wānanga has highlighted the importance of environmental and cultural stewardship as key components of our strategic direction. At the time of writing, we are preparing for the next Kurataiao in September 2024 at Kānihi Māwhitwhiti Pā, we will focus on critical changes in Taiao policy, showcasing the work of our Taiao teams, and the positive impact our collective efforts have on Taranaki Mounga.
Our second highlight this year was our community grant to Taranaki Tū Mai ki Ngāti Tama. The festival, held every two years, cleared the way for Te Matatini in February
2025. As always, Tū Mai reflected iwi pride, healthy rivalry, and intergenerational participation, with Ngāti Tama emerging as the overall winner.
A key opportunity for the Trust is the upcoming Te Matatini festival in February 2025 at Pukekura Park, Ngāmotu. This premier cultural event, now a five-day festival, is highly anticipated by performers, whānau, and kapa haka enthusiasts worldwide. Te Matatini draws thousands in person and over 1.8 million online viewers. It’s not only an opportunity to witness kapa haka excellence but also a chance to reconnect with friends, whānau, and te ao Māori.
We are committed to supporting the marae, pā, and groups upholding manaakitanga for our manuhiri, making this event a significant focus for the Trust.

PARTNERSHIPS
Providing meaningful, intergenerational opportunities for Taranaki Māori remains central to Te Rau Manawaora o Parininihi ki Waitōtara / PKW Trust. Our scholarship and internship programmes aim to empower our whānau to thrive, by fostering a deep connection to their whenua while nurturing the aspirations of our tūpuna for future generations.
Maintaining strong relationships with the Māori Education Trust and tertiary institutions, including Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University, Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington, and Te Whare Wanaka o Aoraki Lincoln University, creates meaningful pathways for Taranaki Māori to pursue higher education. This is enhanced by a tripartite agreement with Toitū Māori Mātauranga, enabling additional support for our tauira.
In line with our mission; seeding Taranaki potential, building success, we continue to ensure that all partnerships contribute to long-term benefits for both current and future generations.
Launched in 2022, our procurement strategy; Tiria te māra, he puāwai nō runga nō raro, has strengthened our relationship with our suppliers by offering opportunities for them to contribute to the aspirations of Taranaki Māori, not only through employment and training but also through scholarship support and development opportunities.
Looking forward, we will continue to seek and establish new partnerships that align with our kaupapa, ensuring our whānau have access to a broad range of educational and professional opportunities. Our commitment to collective action and shared outcomes drives us to create a legacy of success that will benefit our people for generations to come.

Te tauākī tūnga pūtea (statement of financial position) as at 30 June 2024;
Te tauākī whiwhinga, whakapaunga whānui (statements of financial performance), me te tauākī kapewhiti (statement of cash flows) for the year then ended;

He pārongo kōrero mō PKW trust (trust information), me te tauāki koronga mō ngā mahi kia whakatutuki (statement of service performance) on page 100 to 101
In our opinion, the accompanying performance report of Parininihi ki Waitotara Trust (the Trust) on pages 100 to 108 presents fairly in all material respects:
the Trust’s financial position as at 30 June 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended on that date;
the entity information as at 30 June 2024
the service performance for year ended 30 June 2024 in accordance with the Trust service performance criteria;
In accordance with Public Benefit Entity Simple Format Reporting – Accrual (NotFor-Profit) (PBE SFR-Accrual (NFP)) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board
Te tūāpapa o tēnei arotake (Basis for opinion)
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and the audit of the statement of service performance and entity information in accordance with the New Zealand Auditing Standard 1 The Audit of Service Performance Information (NZ AS 1). We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion
We are independent of Parininihi ki Waitotara Trust in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) and NZ AS 1 are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the performance report section of our report.
Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Trust
Te whakamahinga o tēnei arotake (Use of this independent auditor’s report)
This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the Beneficiaries. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Beneficiaries those matters we are required to state to them in the independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or any of their respective members or employees, accept or assume any responsibility and deny all liability to anyone other than the Beneficiaries for our audit work, this independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Ngā haepapa o ngā Taratī (Responsibilities of Trustees for the performance report)
The Trustees, on behalf of the Trust, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the performance report in accordance with PBE SFR-Accrual (NFP) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board;
— implementing the necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a performance report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
— service performance criteria that are suitable in order to prepare service performance information in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being PBE SFR-Accrual (NFP)); and
— assessing the ability of the Trust to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Ngā haepapa o ngā Kaiarotake (Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the performance report)
Our objective is:
— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole and the statement of service performance and entity information is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs NZ and NZ AS 1 will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate and collectively, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the performance report
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the performance report is located at the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-18/ This description forms part of our independent auditor’s report.
