SCL 24/11/2014 08:30 DIVIDEND REL: 0830 HRS Scales Corporation Limited DIVIDEND: SCL: Interim Dividend announcement SCALES CORPORATION ANNOUNCES INTERIM DIVIDEND Auckland cold store project also confirmed The directors of listed agribusiness company Scales Corporation (NZX:SCL) today announce a 3c per share fully imputed interim dividend payable for the 2014 financial year on 19 December 2014. The directors say the dividend reflects the Group's strong balance sheet and lower levels of debt than that included in the Prospective Financial Information (PFI) contained in the prospectus issued in June 2014 prior to Scales' listing on NZX on 25 July 2014. The record date for the interim dividend is 9 December 2014. In addition, subsidiary Polarcold's new Auckland coldstore project is now unconditional with earthworks for the new facility expected to begin immediately. Scales Corporation managing director Andy Borland says the project is backed by an agreement to lease land and buildings from Ports of Auckland in South Auckland. "Fonterra is signed under long term contract for half the capacity and Polarcold plans to secure new FMCG business for the balance of the 8,700 square metre facility," Mr Borland says. The company also confirms it remains on track to meet, if not slightly exceed, its 2014 PFI forecast profit. Further, Scales Corporation advises it intends providing updated guidance on its 2015 PFI performance following a review of the Group's 2015 budgets. The guidance will be provided to the market before 31 December 2014.
