Today NZME Limited (NZX: NZM , ASX: NZM) (“NZME”) will deliver its 2021 strategy update through a virtual Investor Day.

The NZME 2021 Investor Day Presentation is attached to this announcement.

NZME’s Chairman Barbara Chapman highlights NZME’s significant transformation into a digitally focussed media business, supported by strong brands, platforms, and people.

Digital audience and revenue transformation are illustrated across all three of NZME’s strategic pillars – Audio, Publishing and OneRoof.

Ms Chapman also attributes NZME’s achievements during 2021 to a commitment across the business to its key strategic priorities and to the Board’s guiding principles introduced during 2020.

These principles are now firmly established, ensuring NZME delivers to the expectations of its customers, and through them to NZME’s shareholders:

· Customer First

· Win with Quality

CEO Michael Boggs outlines how NZME’s focus on its three strategic priorities has supported NZME’s achievements across 2021 including revenue market share growth across all platforms and audience growth to record levels especially across NZME’s digital platforms.

NZME’s strategic priorities are:

• New Zealand’s Leading Audio Company

• New Zealand’s Herald

• OneRoof – Your Complete Property Destination

In the presentation NZME executives provide performance and achievement updates across NZME’s Audio, Publishing and OneRoof business units.
