Peak Processing Limited (ASX: PKP) ('PKP', or 'the Company'), a leading manufacturing of THC-infused beverages, provides this report on activities for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 ("Q3 FY26", "the quarter", "the Reporting Period").

Q3 FY26 marked the inflection point in Peak's operational and management reset. March 2026 delivered the Company's first month of positive EBITDA under the new operating model. Production volumes exceeded guidance, and Q4 FY26 production guidance was upgraded following confirmed customer purchase orders. The reset is complete; the platform is now scaling.

Managing Director and CEO, Barry Katzman, said:

"March 2026 was Peak's first month of positive EBITDA under the new operating model, on a 56% contribution margin and the lowest monthly operating expenses in FY26. The cost base of this business has been fundamentally rebased."

"Operationally, ~1m beverage units produced in our historically softest quarter, 99.95% OTIF sustained, and confirmed Q4 purchase orders above prior guidance show the platform is now scaling. Peak today is leaner and more efficient than at any point in recent years."

Financial overview

March 2026 unaudited result

Peak delivered its first month of positive EBITDA under the new operating model in March 2026. EBITDA of ~A$159k was underpinned by record monthly revenue of ~A$1.22m, a 56% contribution margin. Operating expenses have been progressively reduced through the FY26 period, reflecting the cumulative effect of the cost optimisation program.

The result demonstrates that Peak's manufacturing platform now generates positive EBITDA at current capacity levels, with the operating cost break-even point materially lower than at any prior point in FY26. With Q4 FY26 production volumes expected to exceed Q3 levels by approximately 50%, the Company is well-positioned to extend the trend.

Cash receipts and revenue

Cash receipts for Q3 FY24 were A$3.0m (Q2 FY26: A$3.9m), reflecting timing of customer invoices and payment cycles relative to the prior quarter. Q3 FY26 revenue was higher than Q2 FY26, with March 2026 delivering record monthly revenue of ~A$1.2m (unaudited).

Operating costs

Product manufacturing and operating costs of A$3.3m (Q2 FY26: A$2.7m) reflect higher input material volumes associated with the Q4 production ramp, not a structural cost change. Staff costs reduced to A$1.5m (Q2 FY26: A$1.7m) and administration and corporate costs to A$765k (Q2 FY26: A$1.0m), reflecting the A$2.25m in annualised restructure savings now flowing through the P&L.

Balance sheet improvements

During the quarter the Company materially reduced its Canada Revenue Agency liability to ~A$200k, down from a peak of ~A$1.8m. Working capital was strategically deployed into core material inventory to support contracted Q4 production volumes on improved terms and to insulate against supply chain variability, leaving PKP with the headroom required to exceed unit manufacturing estimates in future periods.

Funding position

Cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2026 were A$538k, with total available funding of A$543k including unused financing facilities. Net cash used in operating activities was (A$2.6m), reflecting the working capital deployed into core inventory and the timing of customer receipts noted above. Net cash from financing activities was A$2.5m, primarily reflecting the placement completed during the quarter (refer Capital Raise below).

The Company expects operating cash outflows to reduce materially over the coming period as Q4


production is delivered and converted to cash receipts, and as the final tranche of restructured salary severance periods conclude during Q4. The Company is currently undertaking a convertible note capital raising to support working capital requirements through the Q4 FY26 production ramp, accretive capex initiatives and working capital. Further details will be announced once the raising is finalised.

Operations overview

Canadian production

Peak Canada produced ~1m beverage units in Q3 FY26, a ~42% QoQ increase (Q2 FY26: ~702k units) and ~28% YoY increase, exceeding prior guidance of ~900k units. This is the highest Q3 production volume in the Company's history, achieved against a period typically characterised by seasonal softness in the Canadian beverage category. Continued investment in automation, including vision inspection systems, automated fill-level verification and case taping systems, contributed to throughput and performance improvements across the platform.

Based on confirmed customer purchase orders and scheduled manufacturing directions, the Company now expects to produce ~1.5m beverage units in Q4 FY26 (~50% QoQ growth), exceeding prior guidance of ~1.4m units. The increase in production volumes is expected to translate into materially higher Q4 revenue.

Manufacturing expansion

During the quarter Peak materially expanded its two largest customer agreements, locking in incremental contracted production volumes for Q4 FY26 and beyond.

The St. Peter's Beverages manufacturing agreement was expanded from 4 to 14 SKUs, a 250% uplift in production scope expected to drive ~500,000 to 700,000 incremental beverage units annually. All products run on the Envision Emulsions™ platform.

The Electric Brands Inc. agreement for the Sweet Justice portfolio was extended on improved financial terms with exclusivity provisions across all SKUs in market, supporting ~1.4m annualised beverage units


across the existing Canadian platform with progression into US operations (refer ASX announcement: 3 March 2026). Sweet Justice is the best selling cannabis beverage brand in British Columbia, the highest per capita THC beverage consuming province in Canada.

In parallel, brand partners launched several new SKUs on the Peak platform during the quarter utilising Envision Emulsions™ technology, including Ray's Lemonade rosin-infused beverages (the market's first combined CBG and rosin product), myCocoCanna Original CBG (a market-first format), and Green Monke x Envision under the expanded St. Peter's agreement.

Operational performance: OTIF

Peak maintained an OTIF (On-Time-In-Full) delivery rate of $99.95\%$ across Q3 FY26, sustaining the step-change improvement from $53\%$ in June 2025. OTIF performance is the primary metric used by provincially controlled distributors in Canada when assessing forward orders, new SKU listings and product extensions. The continued near-perfect performance reflects the durability of the operational improvements implemented during H1 FY26, including enhanced production planning, refined scheduling processes and strengthened supply chain execution.

Extraction and Envision Emulsions

Peak completed processing of $\sim 6,291\mathrm{kg}$ of fresh frozen cannabis for live resin extraction for a key customer, with expansion discussions underway following strong output performance. The Envision Emulsions™ platform reached a cumulative production milestone of $\sim 3,000\mathrm{kg}$ to date, and now powers $50\%$ of all active SKUs across Peak's manufacturing portfolio.

New product listings

Peak secured 30 new beverage listings across the last five OCS product calls. Listings momentum has accelerated significantly through 2026, with 19 listings secured across the two most recent calls (compared with 11 across the prior three calls), including 10 from the March 2026 call - the highest number of listings secured by Peak in a single product call. The quarter also delivered Peak's first multi-pack beverage listings (SnapBack in Ontario and Alberta), the first vape category listing in several years, and listings for two net-new brand partners to the Peak platform (Reggae Royalty and Juana Sip).

Ontario Province Product Listings

Across provinces, Peak secured 10 new listings in Ontario (9 beverages, 1 vape, all launching Q4 FY26), 4 in British Columbia, 9 in Saskatchewan, 7 in Manitoba and 1 in Quebec, the first listing under Peak's own sales licence in Canada's second largest province. The 10 Ontario listings secured for Q4 launch are expected to generate ~120k cans of production across 8 production runs, all utilising the Envision Emulsions™ platform.

Proprietary brand expansion

Peak's proprietary brand portfolio added 7 new nationwide listings during the quarter. Just Seltzers Lite secured two listings in British Columbia (the brand's first appearance in the province), scaling rapidly from initial listing on 8 March 2026 to 229 distribution points by 29 March 2026 and sustaining 211 distribution points as at 12 April 2026. Just Seltzers also secured its first listing in Quebec, representing Peak's first proprietary brand listing in the province. SnapBack secured 2 multi-pack listings in Ontario, Peak's first-ever multi-pack format listings.

Sales pipeline

Peak continues to advance its forward order pipeline, with four new customers in active discussions or at the quoting stage and three further customers in final stages of contract negotiation expected to be executed during Q4 FY26. Existing customer relationships continue to expand through line extensions, new brands and seasonal entries, supported by Peak's market-leading OTIF performance and improved customer terms.

Peak USA operations

Florida Envision Emulsion Lab commissioned

The Envision Emulsion Lab at the Funky Buddha co-location facility in Florida was commissioned during the quarter. The facility consolidates proprietary emulsion development, production and finished goods beverage manufacturing under one roof, reducing logistics lead times and strengthening end-to-end quality oversight. Peak USA completed its first scaled commercial production batches of both Envision Hemp THC and Envision Hemp CBD emulsion, validating the facility's technical readiness for high-volume output.


B2B commercial engagement

Peak USA is in advanced commercial negotiations with multiple established US beverage brands and has supported scaled production trials demonstrating the integration of Envision Emulsions™ into finished consumer goods. The Company expects to provide further updates on US commercial progress in due course.

Corporate overview

Capital raise

During the quarter, the Company completed a placement of ~160m shares at A$0.017 per share, raising A$2.7m. The placement was supported by both new and existing investors, with Board and management participating on the same terms (subject to shareholder approval).

Related party payments

Aggregate payments to related parties and their associates during Q3 FY26 shown in 6.1 of the Appendix 4C totalled A$142k, comprising director fees, executive salaries, reimbursements and allowances paid in the ordinary course of business.

As previously announced, the Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Manik Pujara, has elected to receive 50% of his director fees in PKP shares (subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming EGM), reflecting Board-level alignment with shareholders during the operational reset.

Outlook

The operational and management reset is complete. With confirmed Q4 purchase orders supporting an upgraded production forecast of ~1.5m beverage units, Peak enters the stronger summer season with its strongest forward order position to date. Q4 is expected to deliver materially higher revenue for the Canadian operations relative to prior quarters, reflecting the cumulative effect of contracted volume growth, improved plant utilisation and an expanded brand partner base.

The March 2026 EBITDA milestone demonstrates the platform now generates positive EBITDA at current capacity levels. With overheads at their lowest monthly level in FY26 and the final tranche of restructured salary severance periods concluding during Q4, the Company expects to generate positive operating cash flow during Q4 FY26 and on an ongoing basis thereafter.

Several advanced-stage manufacturing negotiations are expected to conclude during Q4 FY26, across both Canada and the United States. Combined with the convertible note capital raising currently being undertaken subsequent to quarter end, Peak is well positioned to execute on its Q4 FY26 growth agenda from a position that is leaner and more efficient than at any point in recent years.

8.6.1 Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not? | |
| | Answer: No. The Q3 FY26 net operating cash outflow reflects working capital deployed into core inventory ahead of contracted Q4 production of ~1.5m beverage units, and timing of customer payments. With the operational reset complete, A$2.25m in annualised cost savings flowing through, and confirmed Q4 purchase orders, the Company targeting to deliver positive operating cash flow from Q4 FY26. | |


8.6.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

Answer: Yes. The Company is currently undertaking a convertible note capital raising to support working capital requirements through the Q4 FY26 production ramp. Further details will be announced once the transaction is finalised. The Company successfully raised A$2.7m via placement during Q3 FY26 and considers the current raising to be well-supported.

8.6.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?

Answer: Yes. March 2026 delivered Peak's first month of positive EBITDA under the new operating model. Confirmed Q4 FY26 purchase orders support production of ~1.5m beverage units, underpinned by the 250% St. Peter's expansion, the extended Electric Brands (Sweet Justice) agreement, and 30 new OCS listings across the last five product calls. Combined with the convertible note raising currently underway, the Company is well positioned to deliver on its Q4 FY26 growth agenda and positive operating cash flow.

Note: where item 8.5 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.6.1, 8.6.2 and 8.6.3 above must be answered.
