Olam Contract

==> picture [121 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

In May 2011 we announced that Olam would not extend orchard management contract beyond the 2012 crop:

  • Decision consistent with their strategy to manage their nuts businesses inhouse

  • Initial three-year contract gave us time to expand our Company Orchards portfolio

  • No impact FY12 earnings; part impact on FY13 earnings

  • By 2013 we will see continued benefits of Company Orchards expansion

Strategy

  • Select Harvests’ strategy is to increase orchards under management, broadening our access to the full almond value chain:

  • Supply and demand have grown at 8% CAGR over past decade

  • Current demand growth trending above average growth rate; average supply growth cannot be maintained due to slow-down in recent planting activity

  • Annual consumption has exceeded production over past two years

Future revenue drivers

==> picture [121 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Volume growth from existing orchards under management as they reach full maturity:

  • 17,600 acres under management excluding Olam

  • Potential to yield 23,000 tonnes at full maturity; strong cash generation

  • Continued investment in Company Orchards

  • Expansion of Company Orchards portfolio where it makes sense to do so

  • Farm services, processing and marketing contracts:

  • Leverage managed services capabilities

  • Utilise available processing capacity and marketing capabilities to meet industry demand

19

Outlook

FY12 performance expected to be better than FY11 based on “standard” growing and harvesting conditions

  • Flowering and pollination conditions supportive an improved crop set

  • Cumulative effect of higher water allocations

  • Expanded acreage and improved maturity profile of Company orchards

  • Volume driven increase in processing and marketing fee income derived from Managed Orchards

Attractive Company Orchards maturity profile to coincide with tightening supply

Well positioned to benefit from tightening supply-demand fundamentals
