Add in a profit downgrade.

o Synlait now expects consumer-packaged infant formula volumes to be lower than FY20, with softer demand in HY21 than previously expected as our key customer resets its own inventory levels.

o Synlait still expects volumes to increase in the second half of FY21 once stocks have cleared, however we are expecting our HY21 NPAT result to be significantly lower than HY20.

o Against this, we now expect to be at or slightly below the FY20 NPAT result for FY21 as Synlait continues to focus on optimising its assets and manufacturing efficiencies.
