ASX RELEASE

22 April 2025

Update on Operational Restructure Initiatives

Highlights

  • Implementation of operational restructure initiatives to be completed by June 2025 which are expected to deliver circa $2.5m to $3.0m reduction in fixed costs with expanded, more flexible production capacity. One-off costs of circa $0.7m to implement the restructure to be recognised in FY25 .

  • Fixed costs reduced by consolidating three manufacturing plants into MyEco Group’s global manufacturing plant in Nanjing, China which will provide a centralised fully integrated low-cost facility to manufacture resin, film and bags

  • Expanding capacity to produce finished goods through multiple outsourced manufacturing partners in south-east Asia

  • Restructuring program supports the Company’s strategy of becoming a recognised global brand for sustainable packaging

  • Initiatives will significantly enhance ability to achieve positive EBITDA in the medium term

MyEco Group Ltd (ASX: MCO, “MyEco Group” or “the Company”), a leading developer and manufacturer of sustainable packaging and materials, is pleased to provide an update on its operational restructure initiatives.

On 10 February 2025, the Company announced a strategic review of its manufacturing and production operations to support its record MyEco[®] branded sales growth more cost effectively, and to reposition the cost base of its manufacturing and production supply chain. The following initiatives from the operational restructure are all expected to be completed by June 2025:

  • The ability to scale production capacity through strategic partnerships with highend converters in south-east Asia, to reduce production costs, increase redundancy of supply chains, and increase flexibility to meet demand in different geographies

  • Reduced cost from the rationalisation of manufacturing assets in Malaysia

  • Relocation of larger pilot production equipment from Melbourne to our commercial plant in Nanjing, China to reduce costs for new product trials and realise efficiencies in upscaling to commercial production

  • Relocation of our head office and product development centre to lower-cost premises within Melbourne to reduce both rent and overheads

The implementation of these initiatives is expected to deliver annual fixed cost savings of circa $2.5m to $3.0m commencing in the first quarter of FY26. They will streamline MyEco Group’s operations and scale production more efficiently with an aim to improve product margins, while minimising the requirement for capital investment. The company’s fully integrated approach, utilising internal assets and key partnerships, positions MyEco Group to meet increasing demand in a cost-effective manner while maintaining the high-quality standards that the brand is known for.
