ASX Announcement
Appendix 4E – Preliminary Final Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.3A, RLF AgTech Ltd. (ASX: RLF) ( RLF or the Company ) reports its Preliminary Final Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 ( FY25 ) for the Company and its controlled entities ( Group ).
For FY25, the Group delivered $23.1 million in revenue (FY24: Revenue $9.8 million) and a loss of $1.8 million (FY24: Loss of $8.0 million), a result that reflects the new business activities and corporate strategies implemented during the FY25 financial year. The highlights of the Group’s financial results are:
| Sales Revenue Gross profit Profit/(Loss) before income tax EBITDA Cash receipts from customers Net cash from operating activities Cash balance as of Balance Date |
Consolidated Financialyear ended |
|---|---|
| 30/6/2025 30/6/2024 Change Change $’000 $’000 $’000 % |

| 23,127 9,753 13,374 137% 8,403 4,182 4,221 101% (1,847) (8,026) 6,179 77% (715) (7,429) 6,714 90% 24,630 14,820 9,810 66% 1,240 220 1,020 464% 6,537 4,525 2,012 44% |
During FY25, the Group incurred costs of $1.0 million in relation to the set-up and running of its RLF Australia Business Unit. As this was an investment phase, sales contribution was minimal during the period. The initiative forms a core element of the Company’s forward growth strategy, with revenue generation expected to commence from FY26.
In addition, during the Year, the Group made cash payments totalling $1.5 million, to settle non-recurring or long outstanding debts; and instead of paying cash, the Group issued shares and options to pay for service provided by its suppliers and to partially settle a loan and unpaid fees and salaries to the Directors of the Company that constituted a value of circa $1.0 million, which greatly improved the cash flow and allowed the Group to allocate the saved cash to other parts of the Group’s operations.

A Transformational Year in Review
RLF completed a full operating reset during FY25 while rebuilding market channels and execution systems across Australia, China and South-East Asia.
Australia — in-house model, national channel, and field capability
In Australia, the Group re-established direct control of sales and manufacturing through RLF Australia, creating the base for a scalable, retail-driven model. A curated 16-product starter portfolio was launched, supported by national trading agreements covering 1,200+ outlets. The field team was recruited and trained, delivering in-store activations, paddock demonstrations and seasonal engagement. Operations focused on pricing integrity, manufacturing capabilities and service levels. These activities progressed Australia from “re-entry” to a repeatable operating rhythm ready to scale in FY26.
LiquaForce — integrated manufacturing and service hub
LiquaForce was embedded as the Queensland manufacturing and services platform under an updated transparent cost model. Priorities included tightening procurement and scheduling, improving dispatch, and expanding on-farm storage to smooth seasonal demand. The site supported RLF-branded production, toll manufacturing and contract services, re-engaging cane and mixed-farming customers and positioning as a scalable hub for the Group.
China — disciplined commercial execution
China delivered quality growth through reliable supply, strong distributor engagement and region-specific crop fit. The team refined the value proposition, expanded demonstrations and farmer meetings, and equipped distributors with tools to convert interest into orders. Sales tracking improved funnel conversion and retention, building a platform for sustainable growth, amplified by digital technical content.
South-East Asia — registrations, distributors and early market build
The Asia unit advanced registrations, distributor enablement and trials in Vietnam and neighbouring markets, with commercial orders supported by agronomy and localised collateral. In India, RLF began partner selection, regulatory scoping and trial program design. With its vast market and dual summer/winter cropping seasons, India represents a major long-term opportunity. The groundwork creates an FY26 pipeline centred on commercialisation, proof-ofperformance and distributor roll-out and training.
Carbon — partnership model and project validation
RLF Carbon completed its inaugural project report from the Hillston pilot, demonstrating that changes in agronomic practice can deliver measurable improvements in soil-carbon levels and reductions in emissions intensity. The trial also validated the ACSS methodology, confirming that its baseline, sampling and verification protocols are practical, repeatable, and suitable for broadacre application.
Corporate achievements — foundation for FY26 execution
FY25 marked a full operating reset. Management was restructured with business unit accountability and tighter controls, while governance was strengthened with board renewal and aligned incentives. The balance sheet was reset through debt reduction of $2.2m, interest waivers and extended terms, underpinning a $1.2m operating cash surplus (vs $0.2m in FY24) and year-end cash balance of $6.5m. Subsequent to the FY25 year end, the Company undertook a $4.5m placement to fund raw materials, people and capex. These actions restored financial stability and leadership alignment, positioning RLF to scale across its core markets in FY26.

Operating Result
The Group’s revenue for FY25 was $23.1 million, representing a 137% increase comparing to FY24 ($9.8 million) and the Group’s cash receipts from its customers for FY25 was $24.6 million, representing an increase of 66% from FY24 ($14.8 million) and more importantly, the net cash flow from operating activities increased by 464% to $1.2 million for FY25, comparing to $0.2 million for FY24.
The Group’s FY25 EBITDA was -$0.7million (FY24: -$7.4 million), representing an improvement of 90% YoY.
These improved financial results are driven by growth in all three business regions as well as the successful integration of the RLF LiquaForce business and the recent establishment of RLF Australia during the Year.
The loss from continuing operations for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 after providing for income tax amounted to $1.8 million (FY24: Loss $8.0 million), representing a reduction of 77%. The reduction has two main contributing factors. First, the YoY gross profit increased by $4.2m to $8.4 million in FY25 and second, during FY25, the Group reached an agreement in relation to a historical payable that has been deferred since FY19; as a result of the agreement, $2.2 million was forgiven, which was recorded as Other Income (refer to Note 1 for more information).
During the Year, instead of paying in cash, the Group issued shares and options to pay for service provided by its suppliers to partially settle a loan and unpaid fees and salaries to the Directors of the Company that constituted a value of c. $1.0 million, which greatly improved the Group’s cash flow situation, allowing the Group to allocate the saved cash to fund other parts of the business.
In addition, FY25, the Group made cash payments totalling $1.5 million, to settle non-recurring or long outstanding debts and they are:
-
2[nd] tranche payment of LiquaForce acquisition: $0.75 million;
-
Loan payment: $0.30 million
-
Payments for Deferred Payables and long outstanding payables: $0.47 million
At 30 June 2025, the Group’s cash balance was $6.5 million, a 44% increase comparing to the cash balance at 30 June 2024 of $4.5 million.
Establishing RLF Australia Business Unit
Following the Group regaining the Australian distribution rights of its products in August 2025, the Group established a standalone business unit for its Australian business. During FY25, RLF upgraded the LiquaForce manufacturing facility in Ingham, QLD and set up a manufacturing facility in Welshpool, WA to produce RLF products in Australia. The Group also recruited and trained a dedicated sales and service team to promote its products and service its distributors across 1220 stores nationwide.
During FY25, the Group incurred a total expense of $1.0 million in relation to its RLF Australia Business Unit.
