Sales Performance – Commencing the FY26 Inflection

Whilst cash receipts were up by 30% on pcp, sales for Q1 FY26 increased 45% on pcp , supported by higher processed fish volumes and expanding customer demand. The result demonstrates both increased production capacity and improved market access. MCA is aiming to significantly increase this revenue growth in coming quarters.

Sales for the September quarter were affected by timing differences between harvest and invoicing. A major harvest was physically completed and processed before quarter-end on 30 September , but invoiced on 1 October , falling into the following quarter. This harvest represents around 28% of the total tonnes sold in September , meaning underlying activity was stronger than the reported figures suggest.

The quarter signals a positive transition from the Company’s biomass-building phase toward sustained revenue generation, as more stock reaches saleable size. Demand across domestic channels remains strong, with increased order flow continuing into Q2 as customers seek consistent supply.

While production volumes have risen, availability across all size grades remains uneven, particularly for larger fish (2.8 kg and above). This temporary limitation highlights the strength of demand and the opportunity for growth as size distribution improves. Fish sizes are expected to improve through the summer months as water temperatures rise and growth rates accelerate, supporting higher harvest weights and a more balanced size mix.

Domestic markets represented 92% of Q1 sales, and international markets 8% (up from 4% in Q4 FY25). Both segments show encouraging momentum, positioning the Company for ongoing revenue growth through FY26 as production scales and size mix broadens.

Domestic Markets

Domestic markets will remain the primary focus through 1H FY26, given proximity to customers and the ability to meet immediate demand. Growth in the foodservice channel is being targeted, supported by marketing and engagement initiatives aimed at building brand awareness among chefs and hospitality groups. For example, 10 Merivale chefs recently visited MCA’s Riverina farms to participate in on-site activities showcasing Aquna’s provenance, quality, and sustainability practices. These experiences highlight the brand’s appeal and reinforce its positioning within Australia’s premium dining sector.

International Markets

International market development advanced during Q1 FY26. Vietnam maintained regular repeat orders through premium retailer Annam Gourmet, while Hong Kong and Singapore achieved quarter-on-quarter sales growth of 65% and 138% respectively compared with Q4 FY25. Additional Southeast Asian markets—including Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and the Maldives—are providing further diversification.

Engagement with select channel partners for longer-term supply agreements is progressing, with initial shipments anticipated in 2H FY26 subject to final commercial arrangements.

The achievement of Halal certification in Q1 opened new opportunities in the Middle East. Discussions are underway with potential regional customers, and the Company plans to exhibit at Gulfood 2026 in Dubai.

Approval for the species Maccullochella peelii (Murray Cod) for live exports to China has been confirmed, with processed product approval pending GACC timelines. Customer engagement has also resumed across European markets to support future re-entry into premium channels.

Market Development and Distribution Expansion

Woolworths Retail Expansion

The Woolworths retail expansion was implemented last week, increasing from 67 to 134 selected stores across NSW and Victoria — a 100% increase in retail footprint — with first deliveries now underway. This expansion reflects the strong performance of existing stores and growing consumer demand for Aquna Murray Cod. The expansion forms the foundation for further growth through Woolworths’ premium seafood category as production capacity continues to rise.

Distribution via PFD Foods

Distribution via PFD Foods commenced last week, providing the logistical platform to support daily store replenishment across the expanded Woolworths network. PFD’s national infrastructure offers an efficient and scalable pathway for future growth as production volumes increase.

Expansion of Prior Agreement with PFD Foods

The Company’s prior distribution arrangement with PFD Foods—previously underutilised due to limited stock availability—has now been reactivated and broadened to include retail channels. PFD’s network enables consistent delivery to major supermarket distribution centres and select retail customers, strengthening MCA’s ability to maintain shelf presence and expand retail throughput.

Discussions continue with additional domestic distributors and retailers to secure longer-term offtake arrangements and ensure consistent supply across markets.

Katherine Bryar Appointed as Chief Sales and Marketing Officer

Katherine Bryar brings extensive experience in premium food and aquaculture marketing, sustainability leadership, and international brand and sales development. Before joining MCA, she worked at BioMar Group, a global leader in aquafeed based in Denmark, where she directed strategic marketing programs that supported aquaculture producers in brand positioning and international expansion. Earlier, she worked closely with New Zealand King Salmon, contributing to the success of the Ōra King brand in the USA and the Regal King Salmon brand across Australasia.

Katherine also served as Marketing and Communications Director for Australian Eggs, where she repositioned eggs as a healthy food. This resulted in a substantial increase in egg consumption nationally and thrust her onto the world scene. She has also contributed to United Nations-affiliated programs focused on responsible food systems. Katherine brings more than 25 years of experience spanning brand building, category strategy, and channel development across retail, foodservice, and export markets.

In addition to Katherine’s appointment, MCA has strengthened its sales capability with the addition of a Sales Manager based in Melbourne, supporting the Company’s growth across domestic retail and foodservice channels. These new appointments strengthen the existing sales team and enhance the capability of MCA’s domestic and international distribution partners.

Operational Development

Production infrastructure expanded further during Q1 FY26 with stocking of Cells 4 and 5 at the Stanbridge site, comprising 27 previously empty ponds. Full stocking is expected by Q3 FY26. Across Whitton and Stanbridge, the Company’s grow-out capacity now covers 108 ponds with a combined holding capability of approximately five million fish at full utilisation.

Hatchery Upgrades

Upgrades at Silverwater and Euberta facilities were completed during the quarter, including improved filtration systems and operational efficiencies. The 2025 spawning season commenced slightly later than 2024 due to extended cool conditions, but initial results indicate large, good-quality spawn volumes. Last year’s season recorded a 20% increase in spawn numbers compared with 2023.

Certification and Sustainability

The BAP sustainability audit was completed on 22 September 2025, with final certification expected in Q2 FY26. This accreditation will enable supply to institutional buyers including supermarkets, hotels, airlines, and cruise lines, all of which require recognised sustainability certifications.

Once approved, BAP certification will also open access to Australia’s “home brand” and behind-the-counter retail markets, where sustainability credentials are a prerequisite for supply. The certification validates the Company’s farming practices across environmental sustainability, food safety, animal welfare, and social responsibility, and will further strengthen Aquna Murray Cod’s positioning with premium domestic and international customers.

Aquna Gold Caviar

The 2025 Aquna Gold Caviar harvest is underway in line with seasonal expectations. The product continues to enhance brand recognition and provides an additional premium-margin revenue stream.

Capital Raising and Financial Position

During Q1 FY26, MCA completed a $17 million placement to institutional and sophisticated investors, demonstrating continued support for the Company’s business model and growth strategy. Proceeds of this placement were settled on 1 October 2025 and are therefore not disclosed in the cash receipts for the quarter ended 30 September 2025.

Proceeds are supporting expanded harvest and processing capacity, increased sales and distribution activities, infrastructure optimisation, and general working capital.

Outlook

The Company enters Q2 with continued sales momentum and increasing fish availability through the summer growth period. Focus remains on expanding domestic and international distribution, progressing long-term offtake agreements, and advancing entry into new markets.

Market diversification efforts include the recently completed Woolworths expansion from 67 to 134 selected stores, Middle East market entry following Halal certification, re-engagement in Europe, and planned China market progress during H1 FY26.

Conclusion

Q1 FY26 provided early evidence of the full-year sales inflection anticipated at the end of FY25, marking the Company’s transition from biomass growth to sustainable commercial performance.

Management and the Board observed total sales growth of 45% over pcp and sustained customer demand across both domestic and export channels. These results point to a positive trajectory for continued revenue expansion and improving operational leverage through FY26 as volumes build and production efficiencies flow through.

MCA remains focused on executing its sales and distribution strategy, converting its substantial biomass into consistent cash flows, and maintaining disciplined capital management to support growth and shareholder value.
