Business update 1st Half 2023

BARRAMUNDI GROUP LTD 30 Aug 2023

Highlights

  • • Reduced net losses by 55% from SGD 11.9 million in 1H 2022 to SGD 5.3 million in 1H 2023. Achieved through a combination of aggressive cost cutting policies and decisive operational changes made during the period.
  • • Revenue in 1H 2023 of SGD 16.6 million (1H 2022: SGD 16.9 million) with sales volume of 714 tonnes WFE (1H 2022: 930 tonnes WFE). Drop in sales tonnage was compensated by increased retail prices, and greater contribution by our value-added processing (VAP) business, Fassler Gourmet.
  • • In Singapore, the SDDV vaccine field trial at St John's sea grow-out was inconclusive. Grow-out ops ceased in June 2023. Remaining biomass was harvest to tighten operational costs. On the sales front, tapped into our regional Kühlbarra Allied farm partners
  • • In Brunei, signed distributorship agreement with a premium retailer. Outreach of the Kühlbarra brand locally. On production front, achieved stellar FCRs in RAS system.
  • • Australian business entered into a voluntary administration in late May'23. Two subsidiaries were eventually acquired by Tassal on 31 July 2023. Results are consolidated for 1H 2023. Accounting impact of the disposal will be reflected in full year results.

FIRST HALF 20235

Key Financials & Highlights - Singapore

  • •Revenue reduced by ~40%, mostly due to limited product available.
  • • Limited by the glide down of local sea farm operations, which first ran a Scale Drop Disease Virus ("SDDV") vaccine field trial, and subsequently ceased in June 2023 following inconclusive results of the trial.
  • • Established partnerships with verified Allied farming counterparts in the region to bridge the supply gap, though transition has affected our revenues
  • •Cessation of sea farm ops helped to relieve cashflow pressures
  • •Pivot to specialise in broodstock genetics, breeding
  • • Aggressive cost cutting measures, especially within executive management, reduced G&A expenses by close to SGD 1mil

  • • Previous trial to grow fish up to 2kg in RAS facility yielded stellar FCRs. Data strongly supports case for investing in RAS grow-out facility

Key Financials & Highlights- Fassler

Fassler's revenue for 1H 2023 increased by SGD 0.5 million (~7%) compared with the same period in 2022 following the complete lift of pandemic restrictions. Energy and raw materials costs continue to remain high. While costs have been gradually passed on to our end customers, we see some erosion in our EBITDA-margin

(SGD'mil)

Fassler

Key Financials & Highlights - Australia

  • • Sales tonnage dropped by about 20% to 580 tonnes in 1H 2023. This is mainly due to reduced sales to a national supermarket retail chain beyond the base committed amount, an after-effect of the increased retail price effective Q3 2022. The absolute revenue amount has however, remained relatively constant at SGD 6.54 million due to the increased retail prices.
  • • Elevated administrative expenses incurred, with SGD 0.68 million spent on the application of new leases, and higher salaries from the increase in local management headcount

Outlook

  • BG2.0 & Government Support: Management has developed BG2.0, a land-based RAS aquaculture project with an annual peak production capacity of 3,000MT; Strong backing from Bruneian Government and Department of Fisheries. BG2.0 dovetails with existing infrastructure and plans.
  • Capital Raise Plans: Details of the plan will be announced soon, and information on capital raise specifically earmarked for BG2.0 land-based RAS grow-out.
  • Singapore as IP and Sales Hub: Focused on high-value activities like vaccine development, and broodstock genetics research. Singapore operations to focus on Sales and Marketing; Leveraging high-end markets for Kühlbarra and Kühlbarra Allied Farm produce.
  • UVAXX Potential: Actively engaging with regional animal health authorities and farms interested in autogenous vaccines and diagnostics; pending regulatory approvals.
