Managing Director Matthew Leonard commented:
"The Company continued to strengthen its Indonesian seaweed trading operations during the quarter, delivering sustained revenue growth despite seasonal conditions, while reinforcing customer relationships and operational capacity. In parallel, it advanced a diversified R&D pipeline across multiple high-value
applications, supporting its strategic transition toward higher-margin, value-added products. With improved working capital and a solid commercial foundation, the Company is well positioned to scale operations and drive continued growth in the coming periods."
Introduction
During the March 2026 quarter, BPH Global Limited ("BPH" or "the Company") continued to execute its dual-track strategy of scaling its revenue-generating Indonesian seaweed trading operations while advancing a diversified portfolio of higher-value research and development initiatives.
The Company's Indonesian platform remains the cornerstone of its commercial strategy, delivering ongoing revenue growth and strengthening operational capability through its Makassar-based warehouse and logistics infrastructure. While trading activity during the quarter was influenced by seasonal factors typical of the region, underlying demand fundamentals remained stable, supporting confidence in continued growth as conditions normalise.
In parallel, BPH materially expanded its R&D pipeline, progressing multiple initiatives across nutraceuticals, agriculture, energy and mineral recovery. This multi-vertical approach reflects the Company's broader strategy to transition toward higher-margin, value-added applications derived from seaweed biomass, while maintaining disciplined capital deployment.
Operations Update
Indonesia Seaweed Trading Operations
During the March 2026 quarter, BPH continued to advance and consolidate its Indonesian seaweed trading platform, reinforcing its position as the Company's primary revenue-generating asset and a critical foundation for future growth.

BPH Global Ltd | ASX: BP8 | Date: 30 April 2026
The Company recorded gross sales of approximately A$205,933 for Month 9 (15 January to 14 February 2026), increasing cumulative gross sales to approximately A$2.36 million across the first nine months of trading operations. This was followed by Month 10 gross sales of approximately A$213,174, bringing total cumulative sales to approximately A$2.57 million across the first ten months.
These results demonstrate the continued establishment and scaling of BPH's Indonesia-based trading operations, notwithstanding the impact of predictable seasonal factors during the period.
Seasonal Conditions and Operational Resilience
Trading performance during the quarter was influenced by a combination of environmental and market-specific factors typical of the Makassar region.
Peak rainy season conditions continued to affect harvesting activity, reducing both the availability and quality of seaweed sourced from coastal farming operations. In parallel, trading activity was temporarily moderated by regional cultural and commercial cycles, including Chinese New Year, Ramadan, and associated market slowdowns.
Importantly, these factors were cyclical and non-structural in nature. The Company observed no deterioration in underlying demand, with continued engagement across domestic and export channels and stable customer relationships.
Commercial Platform Development and Execution Strategy
BPH continues to execute a disciplined strategy focused on scaling a vertically integrated and increasingly independent trading platform in Indonesia.
Key operational priorities during the quarter included strengthening procurement networks, increasing purchasing capacity supported by improved working capital, expanding independent trading activity, and maintaining consistent quality control across supply chains.
The Makassar warehouse remains central to this strategy, enabling the Company to manage increasing volumes while maintaining operational efficiency and quality assurance.

Transition Toward Independent Sales and Margin Expansion
A key strategic focus remains the progressive shift toward a higher proportion of independently executed sales, reducing reliance on third-party arrangements.
This transition is expected to improve margins, increase operational control, and strengthen direct customer relationships. The continued execution of this strategy represents a critical step toward a more mature and scalable commercial model.
Near-Term Outlook for Operations
As Makassar transitions out of peak rainy season conditions, the Company expects improved harvesting volumes and a corresponding increase in trading activity.
With strengthened working capital and stable customer demand, BPH is well positioned to scale operations and capitalise on improving conditions in the coming quarter.
Capital and Commercial Positioning
Strategic Placement and Balance Sheet Strengthening
During the quarter, BPH completed a $1.0 million strategic placement at market price, strengthening its balance sheet and introducing long-term investors aligned with its growth strategy.
Disciplined Capital Allocation
The Company is deploying capital in a targeted manner, with approximately $600,000 allocated to Indonesian trading operations and $200,000 toward R&D initiatives, with the balance supporting working capital.

This disciplined allocation ensures alignment between capital deployment, operational capacity, and demonstrated demand.
Enabling Scale and Reducing Execution Risk
The Company's established infrastructure, including its Makassar warehouse and export licence, materially reduces execution risk and enables scalable growth.
The placement further enhances the Company's ability to increase procurement volumes, expand export activity, and respond to customer demand efficiently.
Pathway to Higher-Margin Revenue Streams
In addition to supporting trading growth, the strengthened capital position enables the Company to progress its broader strategy of developing higher-margin, value-added products.
This includes advancing downstream R&D initiatives and increasing the proportion of independently executed sales.
