Disclaimer & Basis of Preparation
This presentation is provided for information purposes only and has been prepared using information provided by the company. The information contained in this presentation is not intended to be relied upon as advice to investors and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular investor. Investors should consider their own individual investment and financial circumstances in relation to any investment decision.
Certain statements contained in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements or statements about future matters that are based upon information known and assumptions made as of the date of this presentation. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from any future results or performance expressed, predicted or implied by the statements contained in this presentation.
The Select Harvests Limited financial statements are prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001. This includes application of AASB 141 Agriculture in accounting for the current year almond crop, which is classified as a biological asset. In applying this standard to determine the value of the current year crop, the Company makes various assumptions at the balance date as the selling price of the crop can only be estimated and the actual crop yield will not be known until it is completely processed and sold. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results, and have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Market Conditions
-
Almond prices have retracted back to H1 CY2021 levels, with excess holding of inventory in key markets, stock carryover of Californian inventories and global shipping and logistics disruption all having a negative impact on pricing
-
Market pricing continues to remain volatile, with attention now turning to the California almond bloom this month
-
Demand remains strong, but there are concerns that due to significant shipment issues and lockdowns some high consumption periods (Christmas and Chinese New Year) have been missed
-
European and Asian exports are down 26% and 19% respectively for the Californian season to date (Aug to Jan)
-
Industry consensus is forecasting a 2021 Californian almond crop of approximately 2.8-2.9 billion pounds, inline with the USDA’s July 2021 Objective Estimate
-
It is too early to determine the size and quality of the 2022 California crop, with harvest to commence in August 2022
-
Australian almond exports are up 15% for the season to date (Mar to Dec), with limited carry-over expected into next season
-
The importance of the China and India markets can be seen in the export figures, with Chinese and Indian exports increasing by 36% and 50% respectively this season to date. China and India now account for 63% of all Australian almond exports
