The company has seen a recovery in activity since the April lockdown , particularly in sectors which are important sales areas for TLL , including residential construction , infrastructure , food & beverage and agriculture . The second quarter also benefitted as pressure on coastal shipping and capacity at Ports led to an increase in demand for road transport , although this was partially offset by a reduction in demand for warehousing during this time . Sales revenue of $ 179.2m was up on the prior year , a solid result given the ongoing impact of COVID - 19 and supply chain issues impacting some divisions during the period . Earnings Before Interest , Tax , Depreciation and Amortisation ( EBITDA ) increased 38 % to $ 32.9m with an improved performance from four of TLL's five divisions and a slight decrease in the International division . The company reported a return to profitability , with a Net Profit After Tax of $ 2.7m , up from a loss of $ 2.2m in the prior comparative period ( pcp ) . NPAT includes a $ ( 1.3 ) m non - cash impact of NZ IFRS - 16 Accounting for Leases .
