The company stated that while retail and hospitality was able to operate without capacity restrictions, “softening economic conditions also played a factor as customers adjusted to the rising cost of living.”
It added: “There has also been a drop in starter numbers and/or across the three racing codes through April, May & June that has contributed to the variance in turnover.”
As for the future, TAB NZ said: “The Board will continue to factor in potential developments in New Zealand’s response to Covid-19 and the current global financial climate, as to how trading conditions are affected and how this may or may not affect profit distributions.”
