* The six month consolidated result has been restated to exclude ArborGen’s New Zealand and Australian
businesses, following the sale of these business in November 2021.
During the six-month period, the Group reported:
Revenue of $7.4 million from continuing operations in the US and Brazil, up 61% on the prior comparative
period (pcp), driven by strong sales growth in Brazil.
Gross Profit of $1.8 million, up 260% on pcp as a result of strong sales and margin growth in Brazil.
Operating loss (before other significant items)
1
of $0.6 million, $1.2 million lower than the $0.6 million
operating gain reported in the pcp. Operating loss includes higher amortisation expense of $3.8 million ($3.1
million in the pcp) consistent with the change in FY22 reducing the useful life of intellectual property to 17
years. The operating loss also includes a lower biological assets gain in the US of $5.9 million ($7.2 million gain
in the pcp) due to lower seedling margin expected this fiscal year in the US
2
.
Net loss of $1.6 million
2
including $0.3 million of strategic review costs incurred prior to the completion of the
review in June. This compares with a net loss from continuing operations of $0.5 million in the prior period
which included $0.6 million of other significant items
1
.
Net debt (excluding capitalised leases) of $17.5 million, down from $29.9 million in the prior comparable
period including the proceeds from the sale of ArborGen’s New Zealand and Australian businesses in
November 2021. Treestock sales in the US occur in the second half of the fiscal year, which will result in lower
net debt at 31 March 2023.
US GAAP EBITDA
3
for continuing operations is expected to be in the range of $10 million to $10.5 million for
the fiscal year ending 31 March 2023 (FY23), subject to unknown factors, including $2 million of expected
Employee Retention Credits payable to ArborGen under the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security
(CARES) Act.
1
Other significant items comprise strategic review costs of $0.3 million incurred in the first quarter of the current fiscal year ending 31
March 2023 ($0.6 of government grant income and $1.2m of strategic review costs).
2
Operating Loss and Net loss includes a biological asset gain of $5.9 million ($7.2 million gain in the prior period) which relates to a
share of earnings on seedling crop still in the ground to be lifted in the second half of the fiscal year, as required under IFRS.
3
US GAAP EBITDA excludes NZ public company costs and strategic review costs.

Dear Shareholder
Key Growth and Strategic Initiatives
We remain focused on executing the key strategic, operational, and financial goals we have set for the business:
Expanding our supply of proprietary advanced genetics, and growing sales of advanced products;
Expanding our footprint in our core growth regions;
Improving cash flow generation; and
Mitigating the risk of adverse climatic events.
Expanding supply of advanced genetics in the US
In November 2022, we harvested our highest ever number of Mass Control Pollinated (MCP) cones in bushels
from orchards we planted over a decade ago in 2011 and 2012 which are coming into full production. The seed
from these harvested cones will be extracted over the next two months, and is currently expected to generate
over 200 million MCP seedling equivalents. Importantly, approximately 60% of the forecast seed expected will
be for the Eastern provenances (30% for the Coastal region) which have been severely supply constrained over
recent years. Seed extracted from this year’s cone harvest will partly be used to produce MCP seedlings in 2023
(i.e. seedling sales in fiscal year ending March 2024), and partly to build critical seed inventory in all provenances
available for future periods, reducing our reliance on single year harvests.
As part of our risk mitigation, our goal is to have 2-3 years of MCP seed inventory on hand for each genetic class
/ provenance to mitigate against single-year harvest shortages. We have achieved this target in Piedmont and
Texas, and we are working to achieve the same in the other deployment zones we operate in. ArborGen already
has several years of Open Pollinated (OP) seed inventory for most provenances.
The map below shows the five loblolly deployment zones in the US South, spanning the Coastal, Piedmont, and
Northern region (or collectively the Eastern region), and Arkansas and Texas (i.e. the Western region).

ArborGen is the only company with a portfolio of MCP products addressing the entire US South loblolly market.
As can be seen in the table below, our advanced products are in all regions, with additional products currently
in the pipeline.

Importantly, we continue to invest in our pine tree improvement programme, allowing us to widen the gap
between ourselves and the rest of the market. In recent years we have launched the next generation of MCP
products (MCP 2.0) for some provenances, with MCP 3.0 now already in development.
Expanding our footprint in the US and Brazil
United States
Earlier this year, the Board approved the expansion of ArborGen’s internal container capacity across two
existing owned sites. We have since been able to increase our total target container capacity by increasing our
Bellville capacity from 13 to approximately 16 million seedlings, while remaining on track on the first phase of
container production in our Western regions with the construction of a new five million unit container facility
in Bullard, Texas.
We have been able to do this very cost effectively as we leverage existing physical infrastructure at our nurseries
in Belville, Georgia and Bullard, Texas. Utilising our existing operating infrastructure will also result in improved
contribution margins from this new container facility. We have already begun discussions with customers who
want to make sure they are “in line” to access this new capacity. The container expansion project is on track at
both facilities, and we expect to begin producing container seedlings for sale next fiscal year (FY24).
Brazil
The Brazilian forestry industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing in the world. Brazil is the world’s largest
producer and exporter of hardwood pulp, with domestic eucalyptus plantations utilising approximately 800
million seedlings per year. Brazil also produces softwood, requiring approximately 80 million seedlings per year.
To address these markets, ArborGen began its commercial pine and eucalyptus seedling operations in Brazil in
2014. Our strategy was predicated on our belief that by combining proprietary genetics and tree improvement
capabilities with our deep understanding of seedling production, we would be uniquely positioned to address
markets that were poised for strong growth due to expansion of the pulp and other wood consuming industries
in Brazil.
5
ArborGen uses a combination of in-house and outsourced production to allow us to meet demand in a capital
efficient and flexible way. ArborGen now has three eucalyptus nurseries and one pine nursery in Brazil, as well
as a network of seedling contract producers, allowing us to address all of the major pine and eucalyptus markets
in the country. ArborGen’s eucalyptus products are available in all of the primary eucalyptus growing regions
in Brazil including the states of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo and Paraná.
Earlier this year, we completed the acquisition of a 10 million seedling pine nursery located in Canoinhas, Santa
Catarina, Brazil. Sales from this newly acquired pine nursery are occurring ahead of schedule supporting overall
pine seedling sales of approximately 20 million seedlings in the current fiscal year. Sales of proprietary pine
products represent over 95% of total pine volume forecast.
More recently, ArborGen Brazil executed a long term lease agreement commencing 1 December 2022 for a
eucalyptus nursery located in the community of Martinho Campos in Minas Gerais state, which has the largest
eucalyptus footprint in Brazil. This new 20 million seedlings per annum nursery, will increase ArborGen’s internal
eucalyptus production capacity in Brazil to nearly 50 million seedlings per year. ArborGen is leasing the nursery
from the S&D group, an integrated steel company with forest holdings, charcoal production, pig-iron production
(which uses wood based charcoal) and other activities. The agreement with S&D will allow ArborGen to increase
the proportion of our internally produced eucalyptus seedlings to over 50% of our total requirements currently,
up from approximately 30% today, providing us greater control over eucalyptus production in a very high
demand environment.
We are currently working on an opportunity to further expand our in-house eucalyptus capacity by an additional
ten million seedling per annum for next fiscal year (FY24).
Expanding in-house eucalyptus production will help accelerate customer conversion to advanced genetics
eucalyptus clones. Advanced genetics clonal sales currently represent over 40% of ArborGen Brazil’s eucalyptus
sales of over 70 million seedlings, with the balance comprising market clones that are broadly available to most
seedling producers. ArborGen’s portfolio of advanced eucalyptus products offer growers higher yields and
higher wood density than standard market clones, improved disease and insect resistance and good drought
tolerance which is an increasingly important trait as eucalyptus plantings in Brazil expand into dryer regions and
as rainfall patterns change as a result of global climate change.
New growth opportunities – reducing greenhouse gas emissions
There is now a clear and increasing focus on the importance of reducing greenhouse gases globally, and forests
have an important role to play as trees capture carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases from the
atmosphere and store it in trunks, branches, foliage and roots. Forest based carbon projects will be increasingly
important in creating demand for both pine and hardwood seedlings in the Southern US as carbon project
developers actively pursue large scale afforestation and reforestation projects.
ArborGen, with its high yielding MCP products, its hardwood production capabilities and its extensive channels
to forest landowners is very well positioned to address this new opportunity. In the current FY23 fiscal year, we
began supplying hardwoods and pine seedlings to two of the leading carbon companies operating in the South.
We have executed a long term exclusive supply agreement with one of these companies and are currently
negotiating a similar agreement with the second.
While it is difficult to predict how quickly the carbon opportunity will grow, we believe that over time it
potentially represents a new market with different dynamics, and could represent a significant new source of
revenue and earnings.
6
Outlook
Turning to our current fiscal year, in the US we expect sales to be affected by supply chain challenges, cost
inflation, temporary customer specific demand matters with some of our large National Accounts, and reduced
seedlings (including advanced genetics MCP seedlings) available for sale compared to prior fiscal year. As a result,
we are expecting current FY23 unit seedling sales in the US, including advanced genetics sold, to be
approximately 5% lower than FY22 unit sales.
In addition, higher historic MCP seed costs relating to pollination activity two years ago (when production from
our younger orchards was less than optimal), combined with general cost inflation pressure, are expected to
adversely impact gross margins in the US this fiscal year. As seedling prices are typically set at the beginning of
the seedling production year, we were unable to pass cost increases on in the current year. We are however
working on initiatives (including pricing) to improve margins next fiscal year.
In Brazil, the underlying market drivers continue to be very strong, with new pulp mills and strong charcoal
markets driving domestic demand for eucalyptus and softwood. As a result, demand for eucalyptus and pine
seedlings is very strong, which is also driving cost increases, seedling price increases and importantly, margin
expansion for ArborGen’s eucalyptus and pine seedlings. The profitability of our Brazilian operations in FY23 is
projected to be materially higher than the breakeven result recorded in FY22, with ArborGen Brazil already
recording $1 million of EBITDA in the first six months of this year.
Taking into account all of the above factors, we are currently projecting US GAAP EBITDA
3
for FY23 to be in the
range of $10 to $10.5 million for continuing operations. This includes $2 million of Employee Retention Credits
under the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act
4
.
While we have incurred greater growth spend with the larger container facility at Bullard, Texas and addition of
the S&D eucalyptus nursery in Brazil, we are targeting net debt to be below $10 million by fiscal year-end (31
March 2023), further strengthening ArborGen’s balance sheet in a tightening monetary policy environment.
We would like to thank all of our stakeholders for their continued support – it is very much appreciated.

Under the CARES Act, businesses can apply for a credit of the payroll taxes paid on wages between March 2020 and September 2021 for
wages not forgiven under the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). While as a next step, ArborGen Inc. will need to file
amended quarterly payroll tax forms with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to notify the IRS of the credit due to the Company, there is a
high probability that the Company will receive the reimbursements approximating US$2 million.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the s i x months e nde d 30 Se pte mbe r 2022
1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited financial statements presented are those of ArborGen Holdings Limited and Subsidiaries (the Group) for the six months
from 1 April 2022 to 30 September 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand International
Accounting Standard 34. Because they are interim statements they do not include all of the information required to be disclosed for full
annual financial statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the periods ended 31 March 2022
and 31 March 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS)
and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
ArborGen Holdings Limited is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993, is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange,
and is a FMC Reporting Entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
The presentation currency used in the preparation of these financial statements is United States dollars (US$), rounded to the nearest
hundred thousand dollars. Consequently all financial numbers are in US$ unless otherwise stated. Changes in prior year disclosure
comparatives have been made to align with the current year presentation.
Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the annual financial statements for the period ended 31 March
2022, noting the recognition of Australia and New Zealand as discontinued operations in the comparative periods, refer to note 10.
2 APPROVAL OF ACCOUNTS
These financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated Group basis and were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on
28 November 2022.
3 USE OF ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENT
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period (refer March 2022 statutory report, note
4, for greater detail). Actual results could differ from those estimates.
4 INVENTORY AND FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT ON BIOLOGICAL ASSET
At 30 September only the US crop (which will be lifted prior to year end) is fair valued. This fair value uplift will reverse at year end upon
lifting of the crop. At 31 March 2022, following the sale of the Australasian operations there were no crops established to be fair
valued.
At 30 September 2021 the Australasian business was classified as "held for sale", including the fair value adjustment recognised for the
Australasian crop.

5EXPENSES INCLUDE
(1) In March 2021 ArborGen Inc. received a second SBA loan under the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) of $2.0 million. This funding was
to ensure ArborGen retained all employees and avoided any layoffs, and all employees were kept on the payroll for eight weeks and at least 60% of
the loan is used for payroll related costs plus rent, mortgage interest, or utilities payments over the eight week period the loan would be forgiven.
All of these funds have since been used to fund payroll costs including benefits and other business related costs, both loans have been forgiven.
(2) The Group incurred significant costs directly related to the Covid pandemic, primarily due to cancellation of ordered seedlings in the US, where
sawmill closures in both 2020 and 2021 delayed harvesting and in turn flowed on to a delay in site preparation activities. Compounding these issues
was the temporary suspension of non-immigrant worker H2-B visas into the US, which combined with planting crews contracting Covid, led to
planting labour shortages during the critical planting season. Sales orders cancelled due to the Covid pandemic left ArborGen with 32 million
seedlings that had to be destroyed, resulting in a seedling write off of $1.6 million.
(3) In mid-March 2022, a cold front moved across the south-eastern United States, with temperatures dropping to the mid 20 degrees Fahrenheit
(negative 4 to 6 degrees Celsius) at our Georgia, South Carolina and Florida orchards. The combination of these extremely low temperatures and
very high winds resulted in significant damage to bagged MCP flowers. As a result, the volume of MCP seed ArborGen expects to be harvested in
November 2023 has reduced by 35%. The $1.5 million inventory adjustment returns the carrying value of expected inventory, to normal production
levels.
(4) The strategic review was concluded in June 2022. The review considered all options to unlock value for the benefit of all shareholders, resulting in
sale of the Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) operations to ArborGen ANZ Limited Partnership. The sale was completed on 30 November 2021 and
the ANZ operations are shown as discontinued. The Group has incurred costs in relation to the strategic review including costs related to the sale of
the ANZ operations and completion of the Strategic Review process.
6CURRENT DEBT AND TERM DEBT
At 30 September 2022 the Group had debt facilities with the following banks: Synovus Financial Corporation (Synovus) and AgSouth
Farm Credit (AgSouth) in the United States.
ArborGen has a non-revolving promissory note issued to AgSouth for $8.7 million bearing interest at 4.95%, with a maturity date of
1 May 2036, which is secured against ArborGen's US real estate properties. Annual principal repayments of $0.6 million are due 1 May
each year.
ArborGen's revolving facility agreement with Synovus is a $17 million letter of credit (LOC) facility (currently $7 million) with an expiry of
31 August 2023. The facility requires an annual 60-day (continuous) pay down maximum borrowing limit (between 1 March and 31
August) to $10 million. The LOC bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR base rate plus 2.75%, subject to a minimum annual rate of 3.5%, and
is collateralised by all the ArborGen Inc's United States assets not otherwise pledged under the AgSouth agreement.
The credit agreements with both Synovus and AgSouth include covenants which require ArborGen to maintain a minimum net worth of
$29 million and $25 million respectively.

6CURRENT DEBT AND TERM DEBT continued
Rubicon Industries USA LLC (RIUSA) has a $10.2 million mortgage from Synovus, which is secured by headquarters land and buildings.
The mortgage is a seven-year term facility expiring in August 2026 and is based on a 20-year amortising loan, incurring interest at the
30-day LIBOR base rate plus 2% (currently 3.17%). The Group has entered into a seven-year interest rate swap, with terms that match
that of the mortgage, at a fixed rate of 3.52%. The mortgage requires RIUSA to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of not less than
1.25:1 for the trailing 12 months.
At 30 September 2022 the Group held cash and liquid deposits of $8.4 million (2022: $15.2 million) and had debt of $25.9 million and
lease liabilities of $4.9 million (2022: $26.7 million of debt and $5.0 million of lease obligations).

12NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURE
ArborGen Holdings shareholders and users of the financial statements are very interested in ArborGen Inc's underlying performance
under US-GAAP (as well as under IFRS ), as that is the result that ArborGen Inc. would report in a US ‘listing’ situation. ArborGen
Holdings believes 'Adjusted US-GAAP EBITDA' provides useful information, as it is used internally to evaluate performance. It is also a
measure that equity analysts focus on for comparative company performance purposes, as the measure removes distortions caused
by different depreciation policies and debt:equity structures.
In contrast with US-GAAP, IFRS requires the capitalisation of ArborGen’s development spend, the amortisation of intellectual property,
the accrual of the change in fair value of biological assets on the seedling crop each year prior to its sale, and the capitalisation of
operating leases. Because of these differences, US-GAAP results, and in particular 'Adjusted US-GAAP EBITDA' cannot be easily
derived from reported IFRS numbers. For these reasons and in order to provide users with relevant and understandable information,
we provide the reconciliation below.
EBITDA, US-GAAP EBITDA and Adjusted US-GAAP EBITDA are all non-GAAP financial measures and are not recognised under NZ IFRS.
As they are not necessarily uniformly defined or utilised, these measures may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used
by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for measures
reported in accordance with GAAP. The following table provides users useful ArborGen Inc. information for year-on-year comparison
and reconciles net earnings to 'Adjusted US-GAAP EBITDA'.

There are statements in this Report that are ‘forward looking
statements.’ As these forward-looking statements are
predictive in nature, they are subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties relating to the Group, many of which are beyond
our control.
In particular, ArborGen’s operations and results are
significantly influenced by the general level of economic
activity in the various sectors of the economies in which it
competes, particularly in the United States, Brazil, New
Zealand and Australia prior to the sale of the ANZ business in
November 2021.
Fluctuations in industrial output and the impact that has on
global demand for wood fibre and hence harvest and
reforestation levels, government environmental and regional
development policies, capital availability, relative exchange
rates, interest rates, the profitability of our customers, can
each have a substantial impact on our operations and financial
condition.
ArborGen-specific risks and uncertainties include (in addition
to those broad economic factors noted above) the global
markets and geographies in which it operates, intellectual
property protection, regulatory approvals, the rate of
customer adoption of advanced seedling products, the success
of its research and development activities, weather conditions,
cone and seed inventory, biological matters, and the fact that
ArborGen’s annual crops and seed orchards are not the subject
of insurance cover.
As a result of the foregoing; actual results, conditions and
conclusions may differ materially from those expressed or
implied by such statements.
