Wingara AG Limited (ASX: WNR), the owner and operator of value-add, mid-stream assets specialising in the processing, storage and marketing of agriculture produce for export markets, is pleased to provide this quarterly activities report alongside its Appendix 4C (Quarterly Cashflow Report) for the quarter ended 30 September 2020 (Q2 FY21).

| Available Hay MT(JCT) | 8,981 | 2,434 | 18,515 | 15,777 | 16,278 | 20,290 |

Reflecting on Q2 FY21, Managing Director & CEO Gavin Xing said:
“Over the second quarter of FY21, Wingara was able to navigate through serious COVID-19-related challenges in a tough macro-economic environment while setting strong foundations for the Company’s next phase of revenue growth.
“We have prepared JC Tanloden for the 2020/21 harvest season and expect an overall improvement in our capacity utilisation rate. The Company’s current commercial standing will support the execution of our hay inventory accumulation strategy to deliver increased production output in the coming 12 months and beyond.
“Austco Polar is operating effectively despite COVID-19 and international shipping logistic challenges. Efficient cost management and the relatively low capital-intensity of operations have provided a buffer against the worst effects of the pandemic. Austco has so far achieved blast carton volumes of 823k for HY21, even though revenue has decreased somewhat.”
Revenue growth continues over H1 FY21
Wingara is now well-positioned to step up into its next phase of growth, with a diversified asset investment model proving extremely resilient in an adverse commercial environment. Increased fodder export revenues have protected the Company from a reduction in blast carton volumes. Export

Placement raises $5.037 million to fund immediate growth opportunities for fodder export On 14 August 2020, Wingara raised $5.037 million via an oversubscribed single tranche share placement (Placement). The Placement was priced at $0.19 per ordinary share, and was supported by both existing and new sophisticated and institutional investors. Funds raised from the Placement are being used to facilitate immediate growth opportunities for fodder export within JC Tanloden.
Growing cash receipts and investment in working capital to drive growth Q2 FY21 customer receipts were up 1.03% to $9.13 million (compared to Q2 FY20). Operating net cash outflow for Q2 FY21 of $(0.50) million reflected the Company’s strategic inventory build-up to support future sales.
