Disclaimer and 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.

==> picture [10 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

  • Inventory levels lower than 1H FY2022, due to a full recognition of the 2023 crop fair value loss – 50% in inventory and 50% within biological assets. Receivables lower than 1H FY2022 due to lower 2022 crop sales driven by lower pricing and volumes.

  • Company owned orchards, Carina West processing facility and permanent water rights are held on the balance sheet at cost

  • The market value of the company’s land assets is $374m against a book value of $249m) - independent valuations September 2022

  • The company’s portfolio of permanent water rights, is $128.6m against a book value of $58.8m – market value assessment March 2023

  • A lower quality 2022 crop and related lower pricing resulted in higher debt levels at 31 March 2023. Debt balances peaked in May 2023 and will decrease through the balance of FY2023

  • All covenant measures for the period ending 31 March 2023 met. With the fixed charge cover ratio waived until March 2024.

  • Current debt facilities remain adequate for operations moving forward

    • Gearing (net bank debt/equity) of 44%.

Lower Almond

----- End of picture text -----

Drivers of higher net debt:

  • Lower sales revenue resulting from 2022 crop quality write-down

  • Decrease in market prices resulting in lower sales revenue

  • Increased 2023 crop growing costs due to fertiliser (partially offset by water savings)

  • Capital expenditure at CWPF facility and horticulture equipment and tree development cost

  • 12 months headroom ranges between $30 - 100m

  • Banking facilities in place. Additional $50M facility limits of which $20M expires June 2024. $20M seasonal facility fixed two-year term.

  • Banking partners very supportive – key understanding of Agri risk

16

Asset Valuations and Net Tangible Assets

Asset valuations (including market value of leased properties future earnings) are 68.4% higher than the current book carrying values at 31 March 2023, driven by higher market valuations across the orchards, Select’s processing facility and water rights.

Note: Market vale of leases = NPV of related free cash flows less lease payments

  • Net Tangible Assets per share (incl water rights) increases from $3.55/share (book value) to $6.00/share if the market value of assets is used in the calculation

  • Book value of assets of $893.4m at 31 March 2023, or $1,188.5m based on market value (not reflected in Balance Sheet)

  • The market value of land assets remains significantly higher than book value reflected in the balance sheet, as detailed in the 1H FY2023 financial statements - $125.3m higher

  • Company’s portfolio of permanent water rights was valued at $128.6m at 31 March 2023, vs a book of $58.8m

Cashflow commentary:

  • Negative operating cash flows driven by:

  • Lower 2022 crop sales volumes and prices

  • Higher 2023 input costs

  • Increased borrowing costs due to higher debts levels

  • Operating cash flows are positive in 2H FY2023 as the 2023 and remaining 2022 crop is sold.

  • 1H FY2023 investing cash flows of $16m driven by:

  • Horticultural equipment

  • Upgrading of Carina West

     - value-add facility
    
    • installation of a new sorting and packing line

  • Tree development costs have reduced

 Return to normalised cashflows in 2024
